Similarly, statements that describe Musandam Power’s strategies, objectives, plans or goals are also forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual outcomes, including among other things, Musandam Power’s result of operations, financial condition, cash flows, liquidity, financial projections and growth to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Musandam Power’s expectations include but are not limited to:

• inability to estimate future performance;

• inability of Musandam Power to meet its debt service obligations under its Finance Documents;

• inability of Musandam Power to meet their payment obligations under the Project Documents;

• inability to realise revenue forecasts after the expiration of the off-take obligations contained in the Project Documents;

• unavailability of fuel for the Plant after the Project Documents have expired;

• certain financing and/or operational and maintenance risks, which are inherent to the Project;

• access to adequate insurance to cover all potential losses;

• change in monetary and/or interest policies of Oman, local and/or international inflation, local and/or international interest rates;

• changes in laws and/or regulation and/or conditions that may have a bearing on the position of Musandam Power’s client, and/or suppliers after the expiration of the PPA, or the power generation sector in Oman; and

• increased competition in the power generation sector in Oman after expiry of the Project Documents; changes in the economic and/or financial conditions of Musandam Power’s client, suppliers and the power generation sector after the expiration of the Project Documents.

By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual future gains or losses could be materially different from those that have been estimated. None of Musandam Power or the Issue Manager or any of their respective affiliates has any obligation to update or otherwise revise any statements in this Prospectus to reflect circumstances arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition or differ in actuality.

The above list is not exhaustive and for a further discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ, see “ Chapter XIII – Risk Factors and Methods of Mitigation” of this Prospectus.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL, INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

Financial Data

Unless stated otherwise, the financial data in this Prospectus is derived from Musandam Power’s audited financial statements or its unaudited interim financial statements, in each case prepared in accordance with IFRS. Copies of the 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 annual audited financial statements and June 2019 half-yearly audited financial statements, are set out in Chapter XXI – Historical Financial Statements” of this Prospectus. Musandam 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 “RO” 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. Conversions of amounts from Omani Rials to US Dollars in this Prospectus are solely for the convenience of the reader. The Omani Rial has been pegged to the US Dollar since June 1986. Unless otherwise specified, for all periods presented in “ Chapter X – Description of Musandam Power and Business Overview”, “ Chapter XII – Project Cost and Sources of Financing”, “Chapter XIV – Summary Future Financials” of this Prospectus, conversions of amounts between Omani Rials and US Dollars have been made at an exchange rate of US$1.00 = OMR 0.3845.

The financial model uses a conversion rate of US$1.00 = OMR 0.3845 and, accordingly, conversion of amounts from Omani Rials to US Dollars have been made at this exchange rate for all periods presented in this Prospectus.

Industry and Market Data

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. Although it is believed that industry data used in this Prospectus is reliable, it has not been independently verified and therefore its accuracy and completeness is not guaranteed and its reliability cannot be assured. Similarly, internal company reports, while believed to be reliable, have not been verified by any independent sources. The extent to which the market and industry data used in this Prospectus is meaningful depends on the reader’s familiarity with and understanding of the methodologies used in compiling such data.

This Prospectus contains references to the electricity capacities of the independent power and water projects communicated by 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. Power plants suffer degradation of their capacity to produce electricity overtime, especially during the early years of operation, and as such, the contracted electricity capacity stated for the Project, pursuant to the PPA, will reduce slightly over time.

Presentation of Power Generation Data

This Prospectus contains references to MW capacities of the Plant. For the purposes of this Prospectus, all of the references to “MW” are to megawatts of electrical energy. All references to ‘‘GW’’ are to gigawatts of electrical energy, and all references to ‘‘kW’’ are to kilowatts of electrical energy. All references to ‘‘heat rate’’ or ‘‘gas consumption’’ refer to the measure of thermal efficiency of the Plant in the conversion of natural gas into electricity. All references to ‘‘backup fuel’’ are to Fuel Oil.

Chapter II

Summary Information Relating to Musandam Power

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus. It does not contain all the information that Applicants should consider before investing in the Offer Shares. All Applicants should read the entire Prospectus carefully, including the financial statements of Musandam Power set out in “ Chapter XXI – Historical Financial Statements” of this Prospectus. In addition, all Applicants should specifically read “ Chapter XIII – Risk Factors and Methods of Mitigation” of this Prospectus for more information about important risk factors that should be considered before applying for Offer Shares.

Overview of Musandam Power

Musandam Power’s core business activities are to develop, own and operate the Plant, a dual fuel reciprocating engine based power generation facility with a contracted power capacity of c. 120.7 MW, located in Musandam in Oman. The Plant comprises of 15 Wärtsilä 34DF dual-fuel reciprocating engines, running primarily on gas but capable of switching to Fuel Oil if necessary, and has been in commercial operation since 17 June 2017. It was completed at a cost of OMR 90.3 million. Musandam Power currently generates its revenues pursuant to a 15-year term PPA with OPWP, which is indirectly wholly-owned by the Government of Oman. The power produced from the Plant is fully contracted to OPWP and used to meet the growing power demands of Musandam Governorate during the term of the PPA and beyond.

The dual fuel reciprocating engine based power generation facility in the Plant is a proven technology that has been implemented globally on numerous projects. The efficient 34DF engines can reliably operate in high humidity and ambient temperatures that can reach 50 degrees celsius in the region. The ‘Smart Power Generation’ plant also requires almost no water for cooling, which was an important consideration in the selection of the solution.

The PPA imposes an obligation on Musandam Power to develop, operate and maintain the Plant at an agreed level of availability in respect of the contracted power capacity. From the COD, Musandam Power is required to make available electricity generating capacity of c. 120.7 MW and sell the electrical energy output exclusively to OPWP. In return, Musandam 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 outages and scheduled outages. It is to be noted that while setting the capacity charges in the tariff, the OPWP has already accounted for the expected level of scheduled and forced outages anticipated under both the LTSA and O&M Agreements. 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, Musandam 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 as back-up fuel. Musandam Power has a long-term agreement with the MoG securing supply of natural gas over the contracted PPA period. In case of short-supply of natural gas by the MoG, the Plant can automatically switch over to Fuel Oil operation and the differential costs subject to meeting guaranteed heat rate under Fuel Oil operation would be paid by the MoG under the NGSA without any maximum cap. Musandam Power has Fuel Oil storage facility for more than 10 days of operation of the Plant at full load. The power is evacuated to the Musandam Power System, operated by RAECO.

Page 28: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

26

The operator of the Plant (pursuant to the 5-year O&M Agreement with an option for further extension) is WMU.

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.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Issued and Paid-Up Share Capital of Musandam Power is OMR 7,039,000. The Selling Shareholders of Musandam Power are OOFDC, which owns 69.9 per cent shareholding, LGI, which owns 30 per cent shareholding and OETCL, which owns 0.1 per cent shareholding. For a profile of each of these Shareholders, please see “ Chapter VII – Shareholding Details” of this Prospectus.

Competitive Strengths

Musandam Power’s competitive strengths include the following:

• The only permanent dual fuel plant in Musandam Governorate using natural gas to cater to the bulk of the current and future projected electricity demand of the region;

• Well-established contractual framework like other IPP’s in Oman with long term power purchase agreement, ensuring cash flow protection against adverse events such as buyer risk events, change in laws and force majeure;

• Stable and predictable cash flows with pass-through of gas prices, in case of short supply of gas, Fuel Oil prices, and power demand until 2032;

• State-of-the-art power plant with very competitive heat rate, and flexibility of start-up and shutdown and switch over between gas operation and Fuel Oil operation;

• Experienced Selling Shareholders with an established track record;

• Fully operational Project operated by an experienced operator and maintenance contractor, WMU which is an affiliate company of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the technology provider, comprising of experienced and skilled operational personnel;

• Comprehensive LTSA for a period of 15 years covering the guarantee of output and gross heat rate with the OEM, via WMU;

• Strong and consistent demand for electricity, ensuring opportunities after the expiration of the current off-take contract; and

• Mitigation of fuel risks in terms of price and quantity with the MoG which protects MPC under the NGSA.

For further details in relation to Musandam Power’s competitive strengths, please see “Chapter X – Description of Musandam Power and Business Overview” of this Prospectus.

Purpose of the Offer and Use of Proceeds

Purpose of the Offer

The Selling Shareholders are undertaking the IPO to comply with their obligations under the PFA, which require them, amongst other things, to make at least 40 per cent of the Issued and Paid-Up Share Capital of Musandam Power available for public subscription and to list such Shares on the MSM.

The Government has embarked upon an extensive program to enable international investors to participate in infrastructure projects in Oman. It has also been the Government’s intention that Omani investors should be able to participate in strategic projects of this nature. The Project Founders entered into the PFA with EHC on 15 March 2015, which required them to provide certain warranties and undertakings to EHC in respect of Musandam Power, 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 Musandam Power, to offer 40 per cent of the shares of Musandam Power to the public. Accordingly, the Selling Shareholders are offering 28,156,000 Shares, equivalent to 40 per cent of the Issued and Paid-Up Share Capital of Musandam Power. Musandam Power has the requisite approvals to offer 40 per cent of Issued and Paid-Up Share Capital, including approval from PAEW pursuant to Article 13 of the Sector Law. Musandam Power has advised AER of the sale of 40 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 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.

Changes in equity structure subsequent to incorporation and details of Musandam Power before the Offer

The Board of Musandam Power by written circular resolution dated 30 July 2017, agreed to increase the Issued and Paid-Up Capital of Musandam Power from OMR 500,000 to OMR 7,039,000, divided into 7,039,000 shares of value OMR 1 each, which was within the limits of Authorised Share Capital of Musandam Power, by converting 50% of the amount of the EBL amounting to OMR 6,539,000, obtained from each of:

• Oman Oil Company SAOC, in the amount of OMR 4,570,761 under the EBL;

• LGI, in the amount of OMR 1,961,700 under the LGI EBL; and

• OETCL, in the amount of OMR 6,539 under the EBL.

The new shares resulting from the increase in Musandam Power’s issued share capital were allotted to the shareholders in proportion to their pre-existing shareholding.

Chapter VIII

Overview of the Omani Economy

Location

Strategically positioned at the crossroads of Asia and Europe, Oman has historically been a centre of trade and commerce. With a population of approximately 4.66 million as at November 2018, 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 11 governorates (Al Dakhiliyah, A’Dhahirah, Al Batinah North, Al Batinah South, Al Buraimi, Al Wusta, Al Sharqiyah North, Al Sharqiyah South, Dhofar, Muscat and Musandam), which are further divided into 61 provinces or wilayats. Oman’s capital city is Muscat (in the Muscat Governorate), which is situated on the north-east coast of the country.

Government

His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said came to power in 1970 and as Head of State he presides over the Council of Ministers. The Council of Ministers assists His Majesty in framing and implementing the general policies of Oman. The Basic Law serves as the basis of a constitution governing state affairs. The Basic Law establishes a bicameral system of elected representatives with advisory powers and numerous civil liberties for the population. Members of each chamber serve in an advisory capacity, although members of the lower chamber may also propose legislation.

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 organizations, including the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the World Trade Organization.

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.

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 “BB” by Standard & Poor’s as on 19 April 2019, “Ba1” by Moody’s Investors Service as on 5 March 2019 and “BB+” by Fitch as on 22 July 2019. The Omani Rial is pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed exchange rate of US$1 = OMR 0.385.

Since the discovery of oil, its extraction and exportation has served as the backbone of Oman’s economy and is the principal contributor to the Government’s revenues, exports and gross domestic product (GDP). The Dubai Mercantile Exchange’s Oman Crude Oil Futures Contract is now the third of three global crude oil benchmarks and sets the benchmark export price for crude oil produced in Oman and Dubai. Oman is the world’s 19th largest producer of oil, as well as the 26th largest producer of gas, and held the world’s 21st largest proven oil reserves and 28th largest proven gas reserves, according to The World Factbook published by the US Central Intelligence Agency as on 06 December 2018 https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/mu.html. The Government continues to focus on diversification of the economy in order to gradually reduce its dependence on oil and hydrocarbon revenues, which still represents 31% of Oman’s GDP. The Government is committed to further non-oil industry growth into the future.

Public Finance

The data in this section is based on information gathered from publications of the NCSI, the Central Bank of Oman and other public sources

The Financial Affairs and Energy Resources Council (FAERC) are responsible for Oman’s fiscal policy, including the endorsement of the annual general state budget. A net fiscal deficit of OMR 2.9 billion was recorded in 2018 (provisional), compared with a net fiscal deficit of OMR 3.8 billion in 2017. The lower deficit in 2018 was primarily driven by recovery in oil prices which led to higher revenues and decline in expenditure due to cost rationalization initiatives of the Government.

In 2018, the Government recorded total revenues of OMR 10.3 billion (provisional) compared with total revenues of OMR 8.5 billion in 2017; an increase of 21.2%.The increase in revenue was primarily due to recovery in average oil prices from US$ 51.3/barrel in 2017 to c. US$ 68.0/barrel in 2018.

In 2018, the Government recorded total public expenditure of OMR 13.2 billion (provisional) compared to total public expenditure of OMR 12.3 billion in 2017; an increase of 5.7%. The increase in expenditure was on account of excess spending on development projects, expenses for some government units, electricity subsidies and debt servicing.

The Government’s total revenues have been budgeted at OMR 10.1 billion in 2019 on account of the increase in oil and gas revenue driven by production at the Khazzan field, and increase in non-oil & gas revenue driven by higher corporate taxes. The Government intends to continue to focus on cost rationalization across ongoing and investment expenditure as well as subsidies and has budgeted for

total expenses of OMR 12.9 billion. The projected deficit for 2019 is OMR 2.8 billion proposed to be financed by a mix of domestic borrowing, international borrowing and financing from reserves.

Development Plans

National programme for enhancing economic diversification (Tanfeedh)

The National Programme for Enhancing Economic Diversification (Tanfeedh) is an action-orientated programme derived from the 9th Five Year Development Plan (2016-2020). The Programme aimed to contribute to the achievement of the Sultanate’s vision of economic diversification by addressing the challenged and difficulties faced by public, private and civil institutions in achieving their development objectives.

The methodology adopted in this programme depended on involving decision-makers in open discussions where all concerned sectors (government and private) took part in identifying the feasible solutions and initiatives to consolidate the national efforts. The methodology focused on creating a flexible and practical work environment, ensuring sustainable dialogue among stakeholders, setting comprehensive implementation frameworks (detailed action steps, timelines, KPI’s and entities responsible of implementation) in addition to ensuring transparency and accountability through publishing periodic updates.

The programme was tailored based on previously developed strategies, plans and relevant policies. It aimed at accelerating the pace of economic diversification for the sectors included in the 9th Five Year Development Plan through installing mechanisms geared towards the execution of specific projects and initiatives were developed by representatives from the public sector, private sector and civil society. By the end of the programme, each project/initiative had identified the authorities responsible for implementation, financing requirements, timeline and KPI’s to measure performance. Further, in order to support the concerned stakeholders and efficiently implement the outcomes of such national projects, the Implementation Support and Follow Up Unit (ISFU) was established on 17 October 2016 by Royal Decree No. 50/2016.

Privatization

In order to reduce reliance on borrowing by the Government, the Government is continuing its plan to divest or privatise certain assets. The initial steps being undertaken are to rationalize the holding of target assets, by transferring investments to a number of newly formed, sector-specific holding companies, or by transferring them to the ownership of the sovereign wealth funds. With the privatization programme, the Government is looking to maintain good levels of private investment to spur economic growth.

Currency and Financial System

The Oman Rial is the official currency of Oman. It is divided into 1,000 Baizas. From 1973 to 1986, the OMR was pegged to US$ at 1 Rial = 2.895 dollars. In 1986, the rate was changed to 1 Rial = 2.6008 dollars, which translates to approximately 1 US$ = 0.384497 Rial. The CBO buys US$ at 0.384 Rial, and sells US$ at 0.385 Rial.

The CBO was established in December 1974 by the Banking Law which sets out its functions and responsibilities. The CBO sets monetary policy independently after consulting with the Government about its fiscal policy objectives. The CBO also provides advice to the Government on economic policy. In addition to the formulation and implementation of monetary policy, these include regulation and supervision of the banking system and the execution of foreign currency transactions on behalf of the Government. The financial sector comprises commercial banks, Islamic banks, specialized banks, non-bank finance and leasing companies, and money exchange houses.

The CMA commenced its duties on 9 January 1999. The CMA is a Government entity with financial and administrative independence. The principal role of the CMA is to supervise the capital market and insurance sectors in Oman and to develop the legal framework governing the same (for example, promulgating the Code. A number of entities are regulated by the CMA, including the MSM and MCDC. The CMA also aims to promote market efficiency for investors and raise awareness of investor rights and the importance of the capital market.

Regulatory Framework and Industry Overview

The information in this section has been derived from AER’s website, OPWP’s 7-year statement (2018-2024) issued in May 2018, 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 four regional systems partially connected via interconnectors:

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

• the Dhofar Power System, located in the Dhofar Governorate;

• Ad Duqm Power System, serving Al Wusta Governorate; and

• Musandam Power System, which serves the Musandam Governorate.

In December 2018, pursuant to the promulgation of RD40/2018, RD 41/2018, RD42/2018 and RD43/2018, the Public Authority for Electricity & Water of Oman has been renamed the Public Authority for Water and its previous duties as related to electricity have been transferred to the Ministry of Oil & Gas.

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.

Page 48: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

46

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

• Securing production capacity and output to meet demand for electricity in the MIS and the Rural Areas Electricity System, in coordination with RAECO;

• Securing production capacity and output to meet demand for desalinated water in Oman;

• Meeting 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; and

• the purchase, procurement, and management of production capacity and output, ancillary services and all goods and other services on the basis of economic purchase.

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 999,825 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 at Mahadha. 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 erstwhile PAEW (renamed as Public Authority for Water. All electricity related matters under the purview of PAEW has been transferred to Ministry of Oil & Gas) and Majis Industrial Services Company SAOC, the entities responsible for water services in the MIS.

PROSPECTUS

Dhofar Power System

The Dhofar Power System covers the city of Salalah and surrounding areas in the Governorate of Dhofar. The Dhofar Power System serves approximately 110,063 electricity customers. The Dhofar Power System comprises of transmission and distribution of power and the water desalination capabilities of:

• Salalah IWPP, contracted for 445 MW electricity generation capacity and 15 MIGD desalinated water capacity;

• Power station located in Raysut, operated by Dhofar Generating Company SAOG pursuant to a concession agreement with the Government and contracted for a capacity of 718 MW; and

• the transmission and distribution system owned and operated by Dhofar Power Company SAOC pursuant to a concession agreement signed with the Government in 2001.

The Dhofar Power 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.

Ad Duqm Power System

Historically, all requirements to the growing demand for electricity in Ad Duqm have been within the jurisdiction of RAECO. Considering the relatively small energy requirements of these areas, and the distance from the MIS and Dhofar Power System, they have been met most economically by utilizing diesel-fired generators, located close to the areas of consumption.

Demand in this region has been largely dominated by residential and small commercial consumers. This, however, is expected to change rapidly due to the recent and continuing development of large commercial, tourism, and industrial projects.

Musandam Power System

Historically, power demand in Musandam Governorate has been serviced by small diesel fuelled power plants operated by RAECO. As per OPWP 7 year statement (2019-2025) released in July 2019, the electricity demand in the Musandam Governorate is expected to increase driven by future developments aimed to boost touristic, economic, and commercial activities. As per the demand projections provided by RAECO, peak demand is expected to grow from 83 MW in 2018 to 128 MW in 2025, an average increase of 6.4% per year.

OPWP has also prepared electricity demand projections for the Musandam Governorate on the basis of alternate assumptions of annual growth rates for underlying demand, materialization of identified bulk consumers, and expectations for the coincidence of bulk consumers’ peak demand with the peak demand on the Musandam Power System. OPWP has provided two scenarios of power demand based on its assumptions, Low Case and High case.

The Low Case scenario assumes a growth rate of 6% for peak demand, increasing to 121 MW by 2025. The High Case scenario assumes a quicker materialization of bulk consumers, as well as increased tourism and fishery activities. Peak demand is projected to grow by an average of 7% per year, from 83 MW in 2018 to 132 MW in 2025.

Sources of Power

RAECO owns and operates six power stations distributed near to load centres in the Musandam Governorate. They are all diesel-fired generators, with combined installed capacity of about 83 MW. With the exception of three diesel generator units with a total capacity of around 27 MW, the majority of units are nearly the end of their technical life and are expected to be decommissioned once other sources of capacity are made available.

The Plant is now the primary source of electricity in the region and is the only plant with a fixed capacity in the Musandam Governorate is expected to supply bulk of the electricity demand in the near future.

Future Procurement of OPWP and Market Development Activities • MIS: Three potential procurement activities may be anticipated in MIS over the period from 2019 to

2025. This includes:

i. Manah IPP sale / New PPA: Manah IPP originally procured under BOOT contract is expected to be transferred to the Government in April 2020. Government has instructed OPWP to conduct a sale of the plant including a new PPA.

Page 53: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

51

PROSPECTUS

ii. Power 2022: OPWP has initiated the process of 2022 procurement initiative which includes a competitive tender for long-term PPA’s commencing in 2022. The tendering process would include a number of existing P(W)PAs which are scheduled to expire by 2022 namely Al Kamil IPP, ACWA Power Barka IWPP, Rusail IPP, and Sohar IWPP. OPWP has announced that the contracts with the government owned 325MW Wadi Jizzi and 475MW Ghubrah power projects will not be extended after 2018.

iii. Power 2024: In 2020, OPWP plans to initiate the procurement process of long term PPA’s commencing in 2024.

• Dhofar Power System: The Salalah II IPP is expected to provide sufficient capacity to meet the generation security standard until around 2023. Procurement activities to meet the next plant, nominally the Salalah III IPP (or potentially IWPP), are expected to begin around 2019, subject to demand requirements. A 50 MW wind farm (Harweel Wind Farm) is being developed as a joint project of RAECO and MASDAR. OPWP’s involvement has been to develop the PPA under which the project would sell power to OPWP. The EPC contract for the project has been tendered, and award is pending a decision by the developers. OPWP plans to develop a second wind energy farm for COD in 2022, with capacity of 150 MW.

Development of electricity spot market is progressing as per schedule. AER has approved the market rules in 2017 and OPWP has commenced the procurement of Market Management System, and is staffing the Market Operator organization, which will be within OPWP. The market is scheduled to begin operational trials in MIS in 2019 and commercial operation in 2020.

Government of Oman has been focusing on increasing the contribution of electricity generation through renewable energy developments in various forms. OPWP’s renewable energy development plan currently comprises solar, wind, and waste-to-energy (WTE) projects. OPWP plans to procure more than 2,600 MW of renewable energy (RE) IPPs by 2025. In December 2017, OPWP announced a tender for a 500 MW solar PV project to be located at Ibri. This is the first in a series of RE IPP tenders that are planned to achieve the Government’s target of 10% RE share of electricity generation by 2025.

History and Background

Historically electricity demand of the Musandam Governorate was met through small diesel powered plants operated by RAECO. In 2011, OPWP appointed advisors to conduct a feasibility study to develop a new gas-fired power plant. A special high power committee was constituted, comprising of representatives from the Tender Board, MoF, AER, and PAEW, to oversee the IPP procurement process. Oman Oil Company SAOC was selected as the lead developer for the Plant in a ‘closed’ procurement process. Oman Oil Company SAOC signed the SHA with LGI dated 5 March 2015 for the purpose of building and operating the Plant.

The pre-qualification process for EPC Contractors was concluded in April 2013. The PPA was signed with OPWP and the NGSA was approved with the MoG, and ratified by the MoF in July 2015. The Plant has been established under a BOO scheme, which enables it to be operated beyond the PPA term of 15 years by extending the PPA (if agreed to by OPWP) or by selling power to potential customers should a merchant market exist at that time. The expected useful life of the Plant is up to 40 years, provided the Plant is operated and maintained in accordance with good utility practice.

The PFA requires the Project Founders to float 40% of the Shares in Musandam Power on the MSM through an IPO. The Plant’s total project cost was OMR 90.3 million. For more details please refer to “ Chapter XII – Project Cost and Sources of Financing” of this Prospectus.

PROSPECTUS

Well-established contractual framework with long term power purchase agreement, ensuring cash flow protection against adverse events such as buyer risk events, change in law and force majeure

The Project represents one of the twelve (12) operational independent and government owned or government majority owned power production projects in Oman. 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 the Company’s installed capacity is contracted with OPWP, through a single long-term PPA which expires on 23 January 2032. Beyond the PPA period, the Company 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, force majeure events and change in law protection which outline the relief that the Company may be entitled to receive should certain specified events occur that hinder the Company 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 the Company in order to receive relief from buyer risk and force majeure events, please refer to the “ Chapter XI - Contractual Framework” of this Prospectus.

Stable and predictable cash flows resilient to potential shocks in gas prices and power demand until 2032

The Company has signed a 15 year PPA with OPWP on similar terms as the other IPP’s in Oman. Under the PPA, the Company receives capacity charges from OPWP for the contracted power capacity of the Plant, which are periodically tested. Such capacity charge comprised approximately 78 per cent of the total revenues of the Company in FY 2018 (excluding variable energy charges and 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 through licensed system operator RAECO, and regardless of whether the Company is instructed by OPWP through RAECO to generate and deliver power. This means that, subject to certain limited exceptions, OPWP is obliged to pay capacity charges to the Company for 100 per cent of the available power capacity of the Plant, irrespective of whether or not power is actually dispatched. The Company’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 the Company 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, the Company has strong predictability of stable (albeit seasonal) cash flows that are sheltered from volatility of demand for power, given that the Company is partly paid on an availability basis.

State-of-the-art Plant with competitive heat rate and flexibility

The Plant comprises of 15 Wärtsilä 34DF dual-fuel reciprocating engines running primarily on gas but capable of switching to Fuel Oil if necessary. Unlike other power plants in Oman which are based on gas turbines, the Plant is based on reciprocating engine technology. Musandam electrical grid is independent from the Oman national grid and the load capacity can range widely from 10 MW to the nominal capacity of 120.7 MW, moreover the remote location of the Plant and unfavourable climate presents additional challenges for the Plant. Wärtsilä’s reciprocating engines are optimally designed to operate with natural gas and Fuel Oil, operate at extreme temperatures of up to 50°C and deliver superior performance in highly humid conditions, very competitive heat rate, and flexibility of start-up and shutdown and switch over between natural gas operation and Fuel Oil operation. The Plant design is also suited to island mode of operations and has low water requirement for cooling. Moreover, the Plant is designed to provide high flexibility to effectively handle the load variation which results in cost saving for the Company.

Strong and consistent demand for electricity, ensuring opportunities after the expiration of the current off-take contract

Overall demand for electricity in the Musandam Governorate is expected by RAECO and OPWP to increase significantly over the coming years, driven by developments aimed to boost tourism, economic and commercial activities. As per IPA’s report, annual and peak demand for electricity are expected to grow from 438 GWh and 96 MW respectively in 2018 to 852 GWh and 186 MW in 2032, when the Project’s PPA is due to expire. IPA anticipates that the capacity of existing plants and firm new builds in Musandam Governorate will not be sufficient to cover demand thereafter. Therefore, based on the results of IPA’s market analysis, the Plant is expected to remain economically valuable after the expiration of PPA term. Based on the results of the load forecast and the environment-friendly technology of the Plant, the Company is expected to remain economically useful in the post-PPA period.

Mitigation of fuel risks

The Plant’s primary fuel is natural gas. A long term NGSA entered into by the Company secures the supply of natural gas 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 natural gas delivered to the Plant by the MoG must meet minimum quality standards. Any increase in the price of natural gas charged by the MoG is directly passed through to OPWP under the PPA. Also, the Company is not responsible for and is shielded against failures of the MoG to deliver natural 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 that natural gas is not available, the Plant operation will automatically change over to Fuel Oil operation and the Company is entitled to receive capacity charges as well as variable fuel cost from OPWP assuming that the Plant is operated as gas mode and provided that the Company is not in breach of its obligations regarding the operations of the Plant. The Plant can be made operational using Fuel Oil, and any incremental costs for the use of Fuel Oil is borne by the MoG.

In the event, among others, of the non-availability of natural gas or a disruption in the natural gas supply system, the Company has an obligation under the PPA to maintain a backup Fuel Oil supply and storage for ten (10) days of full load at the Plant site, which it complies with at all times. Fuel Oil supply agreements are also in place with Oman Oil Marketing Company and Al Maha Petroleum Products Marketing Company to supply Fuel Oil at the Plant site as and when required. A barge unloading facility is also available at the jetty which is directly connected to the Fuel Oil storage tank at the Plant in case of emergency requirement.

Technology and Processes

Description of the Plant

The Plant owned by Musandam Power is located at Tibat, Wilayat Bukha, Sultanate of Oman. The area is surrounded by the Musandam Gas Plant on the North, Oman-UAE border on the South, Arabian Gulf on the West and Mountains on the East. Musandam IPP has been in commercial operation since 17 June 2017. It has a guaranteed capacity of c. 120.7 MW at 50 degrees celsius.

The following pictures display the Plant’s facility in operation:

The Plant comprises of 15 units of Wärtsilä W20V34DF Dual Fuel generating sets grouped into 5 power unit block, operating on natural gas as the primary fuel and Fuel Oil as back up. The selection of the reciprocating engine (Wärtsilä solution) technology was based on many challenges that were indicated during the project development in RAECO grid (132KV system). The Plant’s generation is at 15KV, stepped up to 132KV for transmission to RAECO 132 KV Musandam grid.

PROSPECTUS

Generation process

The power generation process followed by the Plant is shown below:

The Plant includes engines, generators and the auxiliary equipment needed for power production. The engine and the generator constitute a generating set. The auxiliary equipment is largely mounted on modular units. The Plant also includes a control system and a power distribution system. The power production is mainly controlled from the central control panel and from the operator’s workstation.

The gas engine generator converts heat energy into mechanical energy which is then converted to electrical energy. The engine works on the internal combustion principle where the combustion of compressed fuel-air mix generates heat which in turn generates mechanical energy which is converted to electrical energy.

Engine

The Wärtsilä 34DF engine is a four stroke, dual fuel engine. The engine is designed for operation either on natural gas with 1% of the input being light Fuel Oil as pilot fuel, on natural gas operation, or on Fuel Oil only, in back-up fuel operation mode. The engine can be started in gas mode, or in back-up fuel mode. In fuel gas mode, 1% of the input is light Fuel Oil used as pilot fuel. The engine has a closed-circuit cooling water system. The engine is equipped with turbochargers and intercoolers designed to improve the engine efficiency by pushing extra air in the cylinders. A small part of the auxiliary equipment is built on the engine. This includes the lubricating oil circulation system and the engine-driven cooling water pumps.

Generator

The engine drives a synchronous three-phase generator. The air-cooled generator has a shaft-mounted cooling fan and air filters. The generator is also equipped with an anti-condensation heater. The excitation of the generator is controlled by an automatic voltage regulator, installed in the control cabinet of the generating set.

Page 62: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

Auxiliary systems

The auxiliary equipment is essential for the function of the engine and must be in full operation when the engine is running or on standby. The auxiliary systems provide the engine with fuel, lubricating oil, compressed air, cooling water and charge air. The auxiliary systems include both engine-specific equipment and equipment that is shared by several engines.

Fuel gas system

The purpose of the fuel gas system is to ensure an uninterrupted and reliable supply of fuel gas to the engine. The components in the system clean the gas and regulate the fuel pressure according to the load of the engine. Before entering the engine, the fuel gas is first passed through a gas pressure reduction unit, which is located inside the Plant boundary. Then it is passed through a compact gas ramp located in the power house. Each of the engine-specific fuel lines is equipped with main gas shut-off valves and an automatic gas venting valve before the compact gas ramp. The valves are located outside the power house.

Fuel Oil supply system

The components in the Fuel Oil supply system pressurize the fuel and feed it to the engine. The fuel feeder, which is shared by the engines, transfers fuel from the storage system to the fuel circulation system. The fuel is cleaned in an automatic filter before entering the fuel circulation system. The main part of the engine-specific fuel circulation system is located in the booster unit.

Compressed air system

Compressed air is used for starting the engine. The operation of pneumatic valves and air driven pumps also requires a reliable supply of compressed air. The compressed air system includes two subsystems with separate compressor units. The high-pressure air needed for starting the engine is provided by the starting air units, while the instrument air units supply air at lower pressure to pneumatically operated devices on the engine and in the auxiliary systems. The other starting air unit is connected to the instrument air system through pressure reducing lines. This enables the starting air unit to be used as backup for the instrument air compressors. Air vessels for storage of compressed air are installed in both the starting air system and the instrument air system. The engine is started by letting compressed air directly into the cylinders. The compressor units and the air vessels are shared by the engines. The compressed air system pipes are equipped with drain valves, located at low spots, for draining condensate from the system.

Page 63: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

PROSPECTUS

Cooling water system

The cooling system of the engine uses chemically treated fresh water. The system is divided into a low-temperature (LT) and a high-temperature (HT) cooling water circuit. The cooling water is circulated in the system by directly driven centrifugal pumps mounted on the engine. The LT cooling water circuit removes heat from the charge air, the lubricating oil and the Fuel Oil. The HT water cools the engine jacket. The temperature in the LT and HT circuits is controlled by three-way valves. The temperature control valves direct the water to the cooling radiators or back to the engine, depending on the temperature of the water. A preheating unit is connected in parallel with the engine-driven HT water pump. The unit takes water from the outlet line of the engine and pumps the heated water back to the HT water circuit. The cooling water circuits include equipment for monitoring the pressure and temperature in the system.

Charge air system

The charge air system supplies the engine with clean combustion air. The charge air to the engine is taken from outside the power house. The air passes through the filter and silencer units into the turbochargers installed on the engine. Before entering the charge air receiver of the engine, the compressed charge air flows through the charge air coolers, where it is cooled in two stages by water from the cooling water system of the engine.

Exhaust gas system

The exhaust gas system leads the exhaust gases out of the power house and reduces the noise. The exhaust gases from the engine pass through the turbochargers to the silencer and the stack. The exhaust gas system includes a ventilation unit.

Technical Parameters

Capacity: The Guaranteed Contracted Power Capacity (GCPC) of the Plant is defined as the total electrical energy generating capacity of the Plant in relation to each year (expressed in MW) which is available at the electrical delivery point and which Musandam Power commits to provide when the Plant is operating on natural gas, without considering any constraint due to the inability to operate all the power units at their maximum capacity due to the limitations of the maximum daily quality (MDQ) under the NGSA, on a continuous and reliable basis in conformity with the “Operating Parameters” and by reference to “Reference Conditions”, both of which are defined within the NGSA. The GCPC of the Plant under the PPA is c. 120.7 MW. The demonstrated power capacity of the Plant at the plant acceptance test at reference conditions was c.124.58 MW on natural gas mode. Due to the nature of the reciprocating engines technology, the capacity is expected to remain same level over the period of PPA as capacity degradation is very little for reciprocating engines plant. Moreover, the LTSA provider has guaranteed throughout the terms of the PPA to maintain the GCPC of the Plant to 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, the Plant has been guaranteed to be available at 98% of time in Summer Period and in Winter Period excluding scheduled unavailability. The PPA allows for scheduled unavailability during the Winter Period (a maximum of 15%). Projections assume conservatively that the Plant will have forced outages of not more than 2% of the operating time. However, since the Plant COD, the availability recorded has been 99.9%.

Plant Efficiency (Heat Rate): The efficiency of the Plant is measured in terms of the amount of energy required to produce one unit of power. Plant achieved ‘Contracted Heat Rate’ at the plant acceptance test as 8,202 KJ/KWh on natural gas mode. This was better than the guaranteed contractual requirements under the PPA of 8,597 KJ/KWh on natural gas mode, thus giving a higher assurance of securing sufficient comfort in terms of fuel efficiency. Moreover, the LTSA provider and O&M contractor have guaranteed

Page 64: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

62

to achieve the same level of heat rate, with provision for penalties if they are not able to meet those conditions. The heat rate variable and degradation due to plant load and equivalent running hours are also covered under the PPA through the guaranteed curves implemented in the Plant model.

Operation and Maintenance

The Plant is operated and maintained by its OEM, Wärtsilä, through its 100% owned subsidiary WMU. The Operator is primarily responsible for Operation & Maintenance, HSE compliances, Plant Reliability and efficiency, meeting full compliances of both the AER regulatory requirements, contractual obligations to MPC stakeholders. In order to ensure the reliability, integrity and full life span of the plant engines, MPC has signed a Long Term Agreement (LTSA) with OEM, Wärtsilä. The LTSA contractor is fully responsible to maintain the set scheduled preventive maintenance in timely manner, without impacting the guaranteed availability to the buyer, and to ensure that all the required spares for the scheduled maintenances are available on time to avoid any business continuity impact due to any extended maintenance time. The plant is under 99.9% reliability since the COD on 17 June 2017.

Revenue Overview

During the term of the PPA

The PPA sets out the terms of generation and supply of power to OPWP until 23 January 2032. The PPA imposes an obligation on the Company 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 c. 120.7 MW and sells the electrical energy output to OPWP through RAECO’s Musandam Power System transmission grid to serve Musandam Governorate. In return, the Company 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, spare parts, connection fees 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. The natural gas, lube oil, and liquid Fuel Oil used due to OPWP/RAECO instruction costs are payable by the buyer (OPWP). In case of any interruption of the natural gas supply and/or the natural gas quality, the differential costs of Fuel Oil are payable by the gas supplier (the MoG).

Page 65: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

63

PROSPECTUS

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. Scheduled Maintenance of the Plant is also conducted in the Winter Period due to lower electricity demand, further accentuating the seasonality of the Company’s revenues. Under the terms of the PPA, there is no allowance for planned outages during the Summer Period, resulting in higher capacity payments during that period. Payments are denominated in Omani Rials. The investment charge element of the capacity charge is mostly linked to the OMR and a small portion linked with 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.

Beyond the term of the PPA

The Management of the Company expects that the Plant will operate well beyond the term of the PPA, and the Plant will be well-placed to meet the forecast long-term demand for power in Musandam Governorate. 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 (as planned for the Main Interconnected System), 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 the post PPA asset value, on the basis of continuation of “single buyer” approach and merchant market approach.

As per the independent study conducted by IPA, for the Issue Manager on behalf of the investors, under various scenarios after the expiry of the PPA, annual and peak demand for electricity are expected to grow at CAGR of c. 5% to 852 GWh and 186 MW in 2032, when the Project’s PPA is due to expire. On the aspect of, 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 Musandam Governorate will not be sufficient to cover demand thereafter. There is thus a potential value opportunity to be captured after the expiry of the contract.

Under the single buyer approach, which has served Oman well in procuring numerous IPP’s financed by both regional and international banks, 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. There is potential evolution towards a liberalised market as is being introduced in the Main Interconnected System in 2020. However, given the size of the Musandam market and the strategic importance of Musandam Power Company, continuation of the single buyer approach by OPWP, is the most likely option for the Musandam Governorate.

IPA Musandam Power System Modelling

IPA used a bespoke version of its proprietary ECLIPSE™ modelling platform to forecast the dispatch and capacity developments in the market for electricity in the Musandam Power System. This was used to establish market and contract pricing for electricity and the dispatch profile for the Plant under the base case outlook.

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.

Employees

The Company along with the O&M contractor employ a total of 49 employees, of which 28 employees are Omani citizens. The Project has achieved an overall Omanisation ratio of c. 60% as of 2018.

Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings

The Plant was scheduled to achieve Plant COD by 18 December 2016 but due to delay by the EPC Contractor and delay in RAECO grid readiness, the COD was delayed by 6 months, and the actual Plant COD was achieved on 17 June 2017.

As per the PPA, OPWP imposed on the Company delay liquidated damages in the amount of OMR 4.525 million for the period covering 18 December 2016 until 16 June 2017. In 2017, OPWP deducted an amount of OMR 4.525 million from invoices submitted to it by the Company in respect of these liquidated damages. The Company had contested the amount of the delay liquidated damages deducted by the OPWP and submitted that 37 days of delay was caused by a Buyer Risk Event under the PPA and that liquidated damages should not have been deducted for that period. OPWP has agreed to give relief for this 37 day period and to reduce the liquidated damages deducted by an amount of OMR 0.925 million and to reimburse the Company for that period by that amount. MPC has received an amount of OMR 0.925 million on 30 December 2018 for the 37 days delay relief and OMR 0.355 million with respect to consequential losses, was also received on 30 December 2018, total OMR 1.28 million. The reimbursement of OMR 0.925 million for the 37 days delay relief resulted in the amount of the liquidated damages payable to OPWP being reduced accordingly.

In turn, the Company withheld a milestone payment to the EPC Contractor totalling USD 26.63 million (equivalent to OMR 10.23 million) which is equal to its maximum entitlement for delay liquidated damages under the EPC Contract (15% of the contract price), to compensate for the delay liquidated damages under the PPA and any incurred losses. The Company’s claim to levy liquidated damages was contested by the EPC Contractor, who by a letter dated 16 June 2017 and again by a formal notification on 18 December 2017, submitted an initial claim based on six heads of claim for alleged prolongation costs of USD 3.6 million (OMR 1.38 million) together with a request for a scheduled extension of 206 days due to the alleged delays, under the EPC Contract. Subsequently the EPC Contractor issued a request for arbitration as permitted under the terms of the EPC Contract on 31 October 2018.

However, following further negotiations on the matter the Company and the EPC Contractor entered in to a Settlement Agreement dated 20th December 2018. Under the terms of this Settlement Agreement the EPC Contractor agreed to compensate the Company an amount of USD 11.1 million (equivalent to

OMR 4.27 million) for the delay liquidated damages and incurred losses due to delay in commissioning of the Project. In addition, WMU also agreed to reduce the fixed payment under the LTSA by USD 2.1 million (equivalent to OMR 0.807 million) by way of a pro-rata reduction to the monthly fee payable over three years from 1 January 2019.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the EPC Contractor agreed to settle all claims relating to the Delay Liquidated Damages and the EPC Contractor’s arbitration application has been formally withdrawn. The Company confirmed that pursuant to the Settlement Agreement it received a notification that the request for arbitration by the EPC Contractor was withdrawn on 3 January 2019.

As of the date of this prospectus there is no pending litigation or regulatory proceedings against the Company.

Details of Key Documentation

• Project Founders’ Agreement

The PFA was executed between the Project Founders and EHC on 15 March 2015. The PFA sets out various warranties and undertakings given by the Project Founders to EHC in respect of, amongst other items, 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 Musandam Power to an SAOG from an SAOC, and the public offering of 40 per cent of the Shares of Musandam 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 Musandam Power. As this listing obligation is a contractual obligation between the Project Founders and the EHC, missing this deadline may place the Project Founders in breach of their obligations under the PFA, but this in itself should have no adverse effect on the Company. However, the terms of the Facilities Agreement require that the Company comply with all of the material obligations under the ‘Project Documents’, as defined therein, of which the PFA is one. If the listing date obligation under the PFA is deemed a material obligation missing this date may result in the Company being non-compliant with their obligations under the Facilities Agreement. Furthermore, the PPA provides that where a party to the PFA repudiates the terms of the PFA the PPA may be terminated, however in this case as the Selling Shareholder shall seek a waiver of this provision it is unlikely this situation could arise.

If all of the Offer Shares are not fully subscribed in the Offer, the Project Founders are required to continue offering the remaining (i.e. unsold) Offer Shares for sale on an annual basis for a three year period following the initial listing on the MSM. During this three year period, EHC will have an option to acquire the unsubscribed Offer Shares 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; (ii) adherence to the disposal of Shares in Musandam Power; (iii) Share retention obligations which require Oman Oil Company SAOC to, directly or indirectly, hold and maintain at least: (a) 50.1% of the Issued and Paid-up Shares of Musandam Power until completion of the IPO; and (b) 30.060% of the Issued and Paid-up Share Capital of Musandam Power after completion of the IPO and up to the third anniversary of COD.

• Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

The PPA was executed between Musandam Power and OPWP on 13 April 2015. The PPA details the terms agreed between Musandam Power and OPWP pursuant to which Musandam Power shall undertake the Project.

The PPA sets out a number of obligations which Musandam Power must adhere to during the operation period of the Plant. Amongst other things, Musandam 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 on a continuous and reliable basis.

Under the PPA, Musandam Power is obliged to exclusively sell electrical energy output to OPWP and in return, receive 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 amount payable to compensate Musandam Power for the total fuel demand required for the production of electrical energy to be delivered in accordance with the terms of the PPA.

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

Page 73: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

71

PROSPECTUS

The PPA provides for various buyer risk events and the relief that Musandam Power will receive should the specified events occur that hinder Musandam Power from performing its obligations under the PPA. If a relevant buyer risk event is established in accordance with the terms set out in the PPA, Musandam 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 or events constituting a material adverse change, OPWP shall propose a mechanism to Musandam Power in order to adjust the power capacity charge and/or the electrical energy charge, as appropriate, or reimburse Musandam Power by some other agreed reimbursement mechanism.

The PPA also provides for various force majeure events that may hinder Musandam Power from performing its obligations under the PPA. If it can be established that a force majeure event has occurred, or will occur, and that it could not have been mitigated by Musandam Power, acting as a reasonable and prudent operator, Musandam Power will be relieved from liability for any failure to perform its obligations under the PPA for the duration of the force majeure event and the term of the PPA will be extended by the period for which the force majeure event hindered Musandam Power from performing its obligations. Furthermore, Musandam 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 26 July 2015 and original expiry date as per the PPA was 17 December 2031, (the date which falls 15 years after the SCOD). Due to delay in testing by RAECO, the PPA expiry has been extended to 23 January 2032.

• Natural Gas Sales Agreement (NGSA)

The NGSA was entered into between the MoG and Musandam Power on 12 July 2015. It establishes the terms upon which Musandam 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 23 January 2032 (Same date as PPA termination date). In certain circumstances 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. Musandam Power has no obligation to pay the MoG for any natural gas delivered and accepted until Musandam Power has received the amount of the PPA payment from OPWP.

According to the NGSA, the price payable by Musandam Power for natural gas delivered to and accepted by Musandam Power shall be equal to the OMR equivalent of USD 3.00 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 Musandam Power. The natural gas price shall be escalated on each anniversary from the day of 1st January 2016, on a compounded basis, using (i) a three percent (3%) annual rate, or (ii) the per cent change in the average US Consumer Price Index for the prior calendar year, whichever is higher.

Should the MoG fail to deliver natural gas in accordance with the terms of the NGSA, and the Plant therefore be operated using Fuel Oil, the MoG shall be liable and shall compensate Musandam Power the incremental amount by which the cost of Fuel Oil is more than the cost of natural gas without any cap. Moreover, for the cost differential the MoG is also obliged to compensate Musandam Power under the NGSA for the additional incremental operating costs incurred as a result of operating the Plant (or any power unit thereof) using Fuel Oil as a result of the MoG’s failure to deliver all or part of the properly nominated quantity, provided such costs exceed Rials Omani 20,000 in any year of the PPA’s term. The MoG’s liability for increased incremental operating costs is capped at Rials Omani 7.5 mn per annum.

Page 74: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

72

The MoG shall also be liable to pay to Musandam Power the difference in the costs of the Fuel Oil that needs to be purchased to operate the Plant, even in the case of force majeure provided that where the Fuel Oil is cheaper than the corresponding natural gas Musandam Power is required to pay the difference to the MoG. The amount to be paid in relation to the Fuel Oil shall be calculated in accordance with the formula set out in the NGSA. This formula is based on the difference in costs of the Fuel Oil when compared to natural gas, the hours that the Plant is operating on this, and the fuel demand.

• Electrical Connection Agreement (ECA)

The ECA was entered into between RAECO, a wholly owned Government company which commenced operations on 1st of May 2005, and Musandam Power on 14 May 2015. The ECA sets out the terms and conditions upon and subject to which RAECO and Musandam Power have agreed that Musandam Power shall connect to the Transmission System. It establishes a framework between RAECO and Musandam Power to provide for, amongst other things:

a. the payment by Musandam Power to RAECO of the connection fee; and

b. enforcement of the RAEC Code as between RAECO and Musandam Power.

The ECA became effective from the date of its execution and shall remain in force for an initial period of 25 years (the “Initial Term”) and will continue in force beyond the expiry of the Initial Term unless and until either party terminates the ECA on twelve months prior written notice to the other, provided that no such notice shall take effect before the expiry of the Initial Term.

• Usufruct Agreement

The UAS was executed between the MoH and the Company on 9 February 2015. The UAS constitute the usufruct agreement in relation to the Site. 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 the Company. Musandam Power is under an obligation to only use the Site for the stated purpose as described in the UAS.

• Operation and Maintenance Agreement (O&M Agreement)

The O&M Agreement was entered into between WMU and Musandam Power on 16 June 2015. It sets out the provision of O&M services by WMU in relation to the Plant. The O&M Agreement requires WMU to operate and maintain the Plant until 17 June 2022 (5 years after the COD), provided that the term of the O&M Agreement may be extended by agreement.

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

• all operation and planned maintenance and repair services necessary or advisable to safely, dependably and efficiently operate, maintain and repair the Plant, as contemplated by the O&M Agreement;

(i) the termination of the O&M Agreement;

(ii) the failure of WMU to perform and observe the terms of the O&M Agreement; or

(iii) WMU entering administration, liquidation or receivership.

• EPC Contract

The EPC Contract was executed between Musandam Power and WMU on 25 November 2014 and amended on 24 June 2015. It establishes the terms upon which WMU was to design, engineer, manufacture, supply, procure, transport, erect, construct, install, test and commission the Plant and to warrant such works and remedy any defects or non-compliances therein.

In consideration of these works, Musandam Power was to pay WMU the contract price in accordance with the milestone payment schedule.

The EPC Contract sets out a number of obligations which WMU was obliged to comply with. Amongst other things, WMU must, acting as a reasonable and prudent contractor, ensure that the works and materials used in construction were free from charges or liens and defects in title, design or workmanship and that the works would meet all environmental requirements and all applicable laws. The EPC Contract contains provisions for warranties as well as punch list items of the Works (as defined under the EPC Contract) noted by the Company as requiring rectification by WMU within twenty-four months from taking over date. As a result, WMU is responsible for carrying out at its cost all works of redesign, repair, reconstruction, rectification, renewal and replacement for the purpose of making good of Defects (as defined under the EPC Contract) or damage to the Plant or any part of the Works which may appear as a result of a Defect and for which WMU is responsible pursuant to the terms of the EPC Contract.

Page 76: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

74

The EPC Contract entitles the Company to deduct delay liquidated damages in the event that the date of taking over of the Plant would not be achieved on or before time for Completion due to causes attributable to the EPC Contractor.

The performance of WMU under the EPC was guaranteed by WMU’s parent company, Wärtsilä Corporation, under the terms of the EPC Guarantee. Additionally, the EPC Performance Bond was granted by Standard Chartered Bank which permitted Musandam Power to seek payments from the bond up to a maximum of US$44,384,816, which is equivalent to OMR 17,065,962, as at September 2019, upon:

(i) the termination of the EPC Contract;

(ii) the failure of WMU to perform its obligations under the EPC Contract; or

(iii) WMU entering administration, liquidation of receivership.

• LTSA

The LTSA was entered into by the Company and WMU on the 25 November 2014 and was amended on 24 June 2015. It provides that the Company shall purchase parts, including strategic spares and maintenance parts, from WMU and WMU will perform certain services and ‘variation work’ such as upgrades and scheduled maintenance to the Plant.

The LTSA provided for services prior to the COD of the Plant and services to be provided during the Plant’s operation. Under the LTSA during the Plant’s operation WMU is required to undertake periodic visits to the Plant, provide general advice on the operation and maintenance of the Plant to the Company, undertake scheduled maintenance of the Plant and provide staff, expertise and tools needed to carry out such works. The LTSA also provides that WMU will provide additional repair services as required, subject to additional payments being made.

The LTSA contains two warranties for the benefit of the Company relating to the supply of parts and the provision of the services under the LTSA. Firstly the “Scheduled Maintenance Parts Term Warranty” provides that for the term of the LTSA any parts provided in relation to ‘Scheduled Maintenance’ shall be free from defect and not require replacement as a result of normal wear and tear and WMU will be required to repair or replace such parts should they fail to comply with this.

PROSPECTUS

The performance of WMU under the LTSA is protected by the provision of the LTSA Guarantee.

The LTSA will terminate upon the earlier of the 15th anniversary of the COD or upon the reaching of 70,000 ERH (Engine Running Hours) on the applicable ‘power unit’ (each reciprocating engine unit and all ancillary components and generator equipment).

The parties to the LTSA and the guarantor under the LTSA Guarantee mentioned below have also entered into a direct agreement, dated 1 July 2015, in favour of the lender under the Facilities Agreement. This direct agreement assigns beneficial interest in the LTSA and associated LTSA Guarantee to the lender. The Company has the right to benefit from the LTSA and the LTSA Guarantee unless it defaults under the Facilities Agreement at which time the benefit and interest falls to the lender. The direct agreement is intended to protect the interest of the lender in a default situation under the Facilities Agreement.

The fees payable under the LTSA have been reduced under the terms of the Settlement Agreement.

LTSA Guarantee

The parent company guarantee, LTSA Guarantee, which has been granted by Wärtsilä Corporation, dated 30 January 2015, “absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably” guarantees to the Company the performance of WMU’s duties, obligations and undertakings under the LTSA promptly when due. The guarantee also provides that if WMU were to fail to perform their duties the guarantor will perform them in WMU’s place upon written request and that the guarantor will indemnify the Company against all losses arising from a failure of WMU to perform their obligations under the LSTA.

The Company intends to pay the outstanding shareholder loans of OMR 3.056 mn by 29 November 2019 from cash already received from EPC Contractor and OPWP settlement payments.

Debt Financing

The Company has entered into financing agreements with bank muscat SAOG, for an aggregate amount of approximately OMR 84.25 million (US$ 219.04 million) subject to the terms of the Facilities Agreement, dated 1 July 2015. The Term Facility has a tenor of 15 years which is extendable by a period of up to 5 years. The following table shows the currently outstanding financing arrangements of the Company, with the amount outstanding after the repayments made up to 30 June 2019:

Working Capital Facility

bank muscat OMR 3% 5.0 - -

As the facilities are all OMR denominated, the Company does not have any hedging requirements to protect against the exchange rate movements which improves the cash flows of the Company.

No cash sweep mechanism for the Facilities

The Facilities Agreement does not impose any mandatory cash sweep mechanism in respect of the repayment of the Facilities. This is unlike many of the listed power and water companies in Oman, which are subject to a mandatory cash sweep mechanism under their financing arrangements which constrains their ability to pay dividends in the latter part of the PPA period for the relevant project company or the requirement to refinance existing debt in order to seek the removal of this requirement.

The absence of a mandatory cash sweep mechanism in the Company’s financing arrangements means that the Company’s ability to pay dividends will not be constrained in the same manner as if a cash sweep was imposed; consequently the Company is able to pay stable dividends throughout the period of PPA. For further details of the Company’s dividend policy, please see “ Chapter XV – Dividend Policy” of this Prospectus.

Debt Service Reserve Account details

Under the terms of the Facilities Agreement, starting from COD, the Company is required to maintain a cash balance (or DSRA LC or credit support facility) equivalent to six months’ of future debt service and interest payment for the Term Facility and Standby Facility in a separate bank account pledged in favour of its lender.

PROSPECTUS

Chapter XIII

Risk Factors and Methods of Mitigation

Prior to investing in Offer Shares, prospective Applicants should carefully consider the risk factors relating to Musandam Power’s business and industry described below together with all other information contained in this Prospectus, including the financial statements set out in “Error! Reference source not found. – Historical 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 Musandam Power faces; additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to Musandam Power or that Musandam 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 Musandam 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, Musandam Power is not in a position to specify or quantify the financial or other risks mentioned herein.

Risks Relating to the Project

Limited operating history

The Plant commenced full commercial operation on 17 June 2017 and, consequently, the Plant has operated for approximately 26 months as at the date of this Prospectus. 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 Musandam Power must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by the projects with a limited operating history, including challenges in planning and forecasting accurately due to limited historical data, which means the past results of Musandam 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 Musandam Power, including the market price of the Offer Shares.

The Shareholders Oman Oil Company SAOC and LGI have a proven track-record of owning and operating complex projects including power plants in the region and across the world. Moreover, the Operator and LTSA provider WMU is one of the global leaders in operating and maintenance of power projects using RE technology, bringing significant experience and track-record of managing similar projects.

Operational and technological risks

The operational risks may prevent Musandam 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, Musandam Power’s current financial covenants prohibit it from diversifying its operations in the future and it is unlikely that Musandam Power will be able to generate revenue or cash flow, except through the PPA during the PPA period. However, the business plan of Musandam 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 also account for degradation of the technical performance. The plant outage risk is minimized by the utilization of multiple units to produce power.

Page 86: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

84

Technological advances in the power and utilities sector are constantly evolving and newer technologies may evolve in future which may make the current technology of the Plant obsolete or uneconomical in future.

The Company believes that the technological risk for the Company is low as the Plant uses proven technology from renowned international suppliers like WMU. WMU is the operator for the Plant and the LTSA provider. A substantive portion of the O&M risk is transferred by Musandam Power to WMU under the O&M Agreement and LTSA to ensure maximum availability of power systems and to prevent any performance degradation throughout the Plant’s PPA period. Further operational risks are mitigated by the following risk mitigation factors:

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

ii. A strategic stock of back-up Fuel Oil is available on site to cover more than ten days of operations at full capacity;

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

iv. Effective forced outage and annual maintenance rates scheme were introduced in the contractual terms with WMU in order to ensure the availability of the plant’s generation capacity as set in the PPA are met:

• Scheduled unavailability (mainly the scheduled maintenance). April to September : 0% , October and March is 12.5%, November to February only 25% is allowed; and

• Unscheduled maintenance/force outages: only 2% is allowed.

Change in Omani Tax Law

The projected financial statements for the Company have been based on the prevalent tax laws in Oman. The Omani Tax Law was recently amended in 2017 to expand the scope of withholding tax to dividends, interest payments and services fees and the Government may adjust the tax laws from time to time in the future. The change in tax laws may increase the tax burden for the Company, thereby adversely affecting the Company’s, financial position, results of operations and dividend distribution capabilities.

A change in the Omani Tax Law is mitigated by the fact that the PPA provides that any change of law shall constitute a buyer risk event, and change of law has been defined under the PPA to include any amendment to or modification of applicable laws in force at the date on which the PPA came into effect, which was 13 April 2015. The PPA further provides that if it is determined that a material adverse change has occurred and such material adverse change was caused by a buyer risk event (in this case due to a change of law), OPWP shall propose a mechanism to the Company in order to adjust the Power Capacity Charges and/or the Power Output Charges, as appropriate, or reimburse the Company by some other agreed reimbursement mechanism. This, in turn, will result in passing-through the effect of the changes in the Tax Law to OPWP under the PPA.

Performance Risk

The Company is required to carry out annual, and if required periodic, as well as additional performance tests to demonstrate the available capacity. If the Plant is unable to achieve the required targets, then the Company may no longer be eligible to receive the Power Capacity Charges until such time as the Plant successfully achieves the targets in a subsequent performance test.

The Plant has successfully passed all the Performance tests required under the PPA prior to COD and all of the performance tests since COD to date. The Plant has been operated at an excellent reliability of 99.9% since the most recent test.

Page 87: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

85

PROSPECTUS

A further mitigation of this risk is provided by the terms of the O&M Agreement and the LTSA which should help to ensure the Plant is well maintained by experienced technical specialists, thereby ensuring it can achieve its required performance levels.

Post PPA risk

The 15-year term of the PPA expires well before the Plant reaches the end of its expected useful life of 40 years. Consequently, a substantial part of the value is expected to be realized beyond the PPA. However, at that point of time, the Plant, as any other plant with an expiring off-take agreement, will face 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; and

• Macro-economic risk.

Further, loan repayment of the Company under the Facilities Agreement includes a balloon component at the end of its PPA period. The above mentioned post PPA risks might affect the Company’s cash flows and impact the Company’s ability to service the balloon portion of the loan repayment.

With the exception of three existing power units, with capacity of c. 27 MW, the rest of the power units located in Musandam Governorate are expected to be at the end of their technical life. These plants are expected to be decommissioned as the Plant reaches its peak capacity and substitutes the supply to the Governorate. Musandam Power is the only IPP currently servicing and expected to service the growing electricity demand of Musandam Governorate. Musandam Power is considered as an asset of strategic importance for the region and the absence of an alternative gas based generator to service the demand in Musandam Governorate mitigates the risks faced by the Company post PPA.

An independent study was conducted by IPA, for the Company on behalf of the investors, to assess the evolution of market structure and the value of the Company under various scenarios after the expiry of the PPA. On the aspect of, 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 Musandam Power System will not be sufficient to cover demand thereafter. Therefore, IPA forecasts that the Plant will have value after the PPA expires. Refer to section titled Revenue Overview in “Chapter X – Description of Musandam Power and Business Overview” for summary of the IPA report.

Increased operating and maintenance costs or capital expenditure may not be recovered under the PPA

Operating the Plant involves, among other things, general technical, legal, regulatory and other factors that may be beyond Musandam 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 Musandam 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

Page 88: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

86

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.

The risks faced by the Company in this respect are reduced as the majority of the Plant’s maintenance is being covered under the LTSA for 15 years with WMU, and hence the risk of increased costs for the Plant remains limited.

Dependence on Major Shareholder

The Company is reliant on OGC, which is the parent company of OOFDC and a wholly owned subsidiary of Oman Oil Company SAOC, in matters related to the provision of certain services under a SLA. Please see “Chapter XVII –Related Party Transactions & Material Contracts” of this Prospectus. The Company is reliant on the support it is provided under the SLA including but not limited to the provision of payroll support, legal support, office accommodation, office equipment supply and IT support services. The termination of the SLA or the loss of OGC’s support for any other reason or failure to obtain the services mentioned above on comparable terms could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business operations, financial condition, cash-flows, operating results and/or prospects. Furthermore, the loss of the connection to OGC and the association with the group or damage to the reputation of OGC’s group brand may have an adverse impact on the perception of the Company in the market.

Post IPO the Company will be subject to the requirements of the Code of Corporate Governance which is a binding framework for corporate governance through a series of specific and defined policies, processes and procedures. This Code includes a requirement to disclose related party transactions such as the SLA and subject such transactions to scrutiny of the Audit Committee and approval of the Board and in some cases the shareholders.

By virtue of their ownership of OOFDC, OGC will continue to remain the largest shareholder in the Company. The Company believes it is unlikely that would be such a sudden cessation of the support services, outlined above, without an alternative arrangement having first been put in place.

Dependence on OPWP as the sole customer

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, Musandam 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 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 Musandam Power, including the market price of the Shares.

Musandam 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, (iii) variable operation and maintenance costs defined as Electrical Energy Charges in the PPA) 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 and a good track record of timely payments. Musandam 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

Page 89: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

87

PROSPECTUS

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, Musandam Power’s revenue may be adversely affected. This is considered as unlikely.

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

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

OPWP is entitled to terminate the PPA for default by Musandam Power which, if not cured within the agreed cure periods by Musandam Power, will give rise to such termination right. In such a case, Musandam 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 Musandam. 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 Musandam Power, including the market price of the Shares.

Musandam Power is the only IPP servicing the electricity demand of the Musandam Governorate. The Plant is efficient with established operating history and contracted gas supply (key raw material for the power plant) which is available from next door Musandam Gas Plant. Due to the strategic importance of the Plant for the Musandam Governorate and lack of commercially viable alternatives, the Company believes that there is a low probability of OPWP terminating the PPA. Further, an independent study was conducted by IPA, for the Issue Manager on behalf of the investors anticipates that the capacity of existing plants and firm new builds in the Musandam Power System will not be sufficient to cover demand after the end of PPA for the Company. Therefore, IPA forecasts that the Plant will have value after the PPA expires.

No ownership of the land on which the Plant is situated

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 Musandam Power with a term of 25 years from the effective date, which may be renewed for a further term of 25 years. The MoH may, at its option, elect to terminate the UAS, evict Musandam Power from, and repossess the Site at any time following the termination of the PPA. The MoH may terminate the UAS if Musandam Power’s Generation Licence is revoked and not reissued/replaced within 18 months or Musandam Power ceases to operate the Plat for a period of two years. A termination of the UAS would have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of Musandam Power, including the market price of the Offer Shares. The UAS suggests that at least 6 months’ notice is required prior to the termination.

If the MoH were to serve a notice of breach of the terms of the UAS to the Company, the Company will have a period of six months to remedy such breach failing which the MoH can require the Company to suspend activities on the site until the breach is remedied. The Company believes this time period is a sufficient time period for it to remedy any breach. Consequently, the risk of suspension of the Company’s activities by the MoH, as a result of breach of the UAS, remains significantly mitigated.

Availability of skilled personnel

The Company depends to a significant degree on the continued services of key personnel, both employed by it and those employed by WMU. Their skills and experience are crucial elements to the success of the Company’s business. The Company has a limited number of employees, as the labour-intensive operation and maintenance is outsourced to the Operator.

Page 90: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

88

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 the Company, including the market price of the Shares. However, if the Company was exposed to a loss of senior executives and employees, it would be able to pool resources from and rely on the support of the Project Founders, and this serves to significant mitigate the risk faced by the company in this respect.

Transactions with certain related parties

The Company 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 interest may arise between the Company and such related parties, potentially resulting in the conclusion of transactions on terms not determined by market forces.

The Company has put in place certain policies for dealing with conflicts of interest and intends to abide by applicable laws and regulations relating to transactions with related parties and mitigate any risk related to related party transactions.

Risk associated with fuel supply and fuel price risks within the PPA period

Natural gas is the primary fuel for the Plant. Natural gas is supplied by the neighbouring Musandam Gas Plant through a pipeline built and commissioned by the Company during the Plant construction and subsequently handed over to MoG for operation and maintenance of the pipeline as per the provision of NGSA. The Plant therefore completely relies on the natural gas supply from Musandam Gas Plant. In addition, Musandam Power is subject to all of the usual operating risks associated with gas supply, which may cause a delay or interruption in the supply of natural gas to the Plant, which, in turn, could have an adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of Musandam Power, including the market price of the Shares.

However, the terms of the NGSA with the MoG goes hand in hand with the PPA mitigating fuel supply risk. Musandam Power is not exposed to a fuel price risk as the fuel cost is passed through to OPWP under the PPA. Further, the technology employed by the Plant allows the Plant to be operated on secondary fuel (Fuel Oil) in absence of natural gas supply which mitigates the fuel supply risk. The NGSA provides protection against cost escalation due to the use of Fuel Oil in the event of disruption of natural gas supply by assuring payment to the Company for the incremental fuel costs without any maximum limit and operating cost up to OMR 7.5 million per annum. These arrangements serve to mitigate the risks faced by the Company in this respect.

Government risk

The PPA provides protection against various political and economic risks including but not limited to war, hostilities, belligerence, blockade, occurring in Oman; expropriation, requisition, confiscation, nationalisation, import restrictions or closure of harbours, docks, facilities for the use of, or services to, shipping or navigation by any competent authority; rationing or allocation (other than any such existing or applied as at the effective date of the PPA) where imposed by law or otherwise by any competent authority and any Change of Law (as defined in the PPA).

Operations are subject to government regulation and licences

Regulations that apply to Musandam Power’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. Musandam Power is subject to a varied and complex body of laws and regulations that both public officials and private parties may

Page 91: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

89

PROSPECTUS

seek to enforce. Musandam Power conducts its power generation operation under several licences, leases and permits and the UAS. Such licences, permits and usufruct may be suspended, terminated or revoked if Musandam 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 Musandam Power is subject to, impose requirements on the modification, ownership and operation of the Plant. If Musandam Power fails to comply with these requirements, this may prevent it from modifying or operating the Plant, and Musandam Power could be subject to civil or criminal liability, fines and the imposition of clean-up obligations, including liens, to secure those obligations. Musandam 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 Musandam 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 Musandam Power, including the market price of the Shares.

The Project Documents contain provisions which are expected to provide flexibility and protection in the event of an adverse change in the applicable law, thus mitigating the risk associated with these matters.

Adequate insurance may not be available to cover all potential losses

Musandam 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, Musandam Power may from time to time become exposed to significant liabilities for which it may not have adequate insurance coverage.

Musandam 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 Musandam 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 Musandam Power may be subject.

Further, if there are changes in the insurance markets or increases in insurance costs, Musandam 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 Musandam 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 Musandam Power’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In the event there is a total or partial loss of Musandam Power’s assets, there can be no assurances that the insurance proceeds received by Musandam Power would not have an adverse effect on the financial condition of Musandam Power, including the market price of the Shares.

Depegging or adjustment in Omani Rial/US Dollar peg

Musandam Power, as part of its operation makes certain payments to its vendors in US Dollars. As at the date of this Prospectus, the Omani Rial remains pegged to the US Dollar. Any such de-pegging could have an adverse or beneficial effect on the financial condition of Musandam Power, including the market price of the Shares. 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 Musandam Power.

Page 92: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

90

In the event that the Omani Rial is unpegged, the PPA provides for adjustment of the tariff linked to the USD – OMR exchange rate for certain portions of its cost base (Current peg being OMR 0.3845 / USD 1). The risks of any depegging event are somewhat mitigated by the “Buyer Risk Event” provisions contained in clause 24 of the PPA. Under clause 24 a depegging is a “Change of Law”, and as such should the depegging prevent Musandam Power from performing its obligations under the PPA their liability would be limited.

Inflation could increase Musandam Power’s costs and adversely affect its results of operations

Pursuant to the terms of the PPA, Musandam 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.

Adverse changes in interest rate movements

Musandam Power is funded substantially through long term loans therefore any changes in the interest rates could impact its profitability. As per the current financing agreement, Musandam Power’s interest cost on the term loan is fixed for a certain period and is expected to be reset after the period. Depending on the interest rate scenario prevailing at the time of the reset Musandam Power is exposed to the risk of rising interest cost consequently curtailing its ability to pay dividend. Further, Musandam Power has not utilized any hedging arrangement to mitigate this risk.

Musandam Power’s Term Facility and other facilities are OMR denominated which negates the requirement for using any hedging instrument. The Facilities Agreement provides for protection against unfavourable movement in interest rate by capping the interest rate at a certain rate (subject to market disruption clause) for the term of the debt facility.

Limited experience complying with listed company obligations

Musandam 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 Musandam Power’s business, financial condition and results of operations, including the market price of the Shares.

The Company has the support of marquee founders and can utilize the experience of the management team of the Shareholders to comply with listed company obligations. Further, the Company intends to appoint appropriate advisors to assist them in complying with the rules applicable to SAOG’s.

No existing market for the Shares

Prior to the Offer, there has not been a public market for the Shares. The Selling Shareholders cannot predict whether investor interest in Musandam Power will lead to the development of an active trading market on the MSM, or otherwise, or how liquid any market that does develop might be. The Offer Price for the Offer Shares may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the open market following the Offer.

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 Musandam Power’s operations, variations in its half yearly or yearly operating results and its business developments or those of its competitors.

PROSPECTUS

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 Musandam Power’s business.

Dividend policy may not be fulfilled

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

Dividend payments are not guaranteed and the Board may decide, in their absolute discretion, at any time and for any reason, not to recommend dividends. Further, any dividend policy, to the extent implemented, will significantly restrict Musandam 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, Musandam 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.

Changes in policy and IFRS

Any change in the accounting policies followed by the Company, which arises internally or as a result of any changes to IFRS, could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company and its ability to declare and pay dividends. The management of the Company will consider what impact these may have on the Company’s financial statements as they arise.

Dilution risk and Founders exit risk

This risk mitigated by contractual provisions set out in the PFA, which are as follows:

• From the PPA Effective Date up to but excluding the date on which the Project Founders complete the IPO, the lead founder, Oman Oil Company SAOC, is committed under the PFA to retain directly or indirectly, hold and maintain at least 50.1% per cent of the Shares;’

• 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 is required to, directly or indirectly, hold and maintain at least 30.060% per cent of the Shares;

• From the PPA Effective Date up to but excluding the date on which the Project Founders complete the IPO, the other founders, are committed under the PFA to retain directly or indirectly, hold and maintain at least the following amount of Shares:

– OETCL, at least 0.1 %, and,

– LGI, at least 30%;

• Pursuant to the SHA, if any of the Founders transfer the whole (or any part) of their respective Shares to a third party, such third party would be required to execute a deed of adherence pursuant to which such third party shall be obligated to observe and perform the provisions and obligations of the SHA; and

• The Shares held by the Founders are also pledged in favour of the Finance Parties making them less liquid and such pledge can only be lifted in accordance with the Facilities Agreement and with the approval the lenders thereunder.

OETCL’s proposal to divest its entire shareholding in MPC has been approved by the other Project Founders and such other parties as are required to allow such a divestment. The exit of OETCL from the Company will not adversely affect MPC due to its small shareholding and the fact that its parent company, Oman Oil Company SAOC, through its subsidiary OGC and in turn its subsidiary OOFDC,

Page 94: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

92

will continue to retain a significant shareholding. As such the value that Oman Oil Company SAOC and its subsidiaries and affiliates bring to MPC will be preserved.

Non Compliance with Deadline for Listing under PFA

The PFA states that the listing of the Offer Shares must occur within a period of four years commencing from the date of incorporation of the Company, i.e. on or before 19 November 2018. The Selling Shareholders have by their letter, reference MPC-MIPP-GEN-EHC-002 dated 6 November 2018, notified EHC of the delay that has occurred in listing the Company’s shares and it has requested EHC to postpone the IPO until all procedures, including CMA approval, required for the IPO are complete. EHC responded its letter, reference NH/CEO/185/2018 dated 2 December 2018, to the Selling Shareholder by noting the content of the Selling Shareholders letter and reminding the Selling Shareholders of the their obligations under the PFA. In addition the Selling Shareholders have confirmed their ongoing obligations under the PFA to complete process of undertaking the IPO. Notwithstanding the general provisions of Omani Law being applicable, the PFA does not however, provide for potential adverse action against, or penalties to be levied on, the Company for failure to meet the deadline specified in the PFA.

Under the PPA, there are no consequences for failure to meet the deadline in the PFA, except that OPWP is entitled to terminate the PPA if there is a repudiation by the Project Founders (or any of them) of the PFA. However, none of the Project Founders have repudiated or expressed their intention to repudiate the PFA and all the Project Founders are committed to undertake the IPO.

The PFA also provides that in the event that if all of the Offer Shares are not fully subscribed in the Offer, the EHC will have an option to acquire the unsubscribed Offer Shares according to the pricing mechanism set out in the PFA. Should the EHC not wish to exercise its option the Project Founders are required to continue offering the remaining (i.e. unsold) Offer Shares for sale to the public on an annual basis for a three year period following the initial listing on the MSM. Notwithstanding MPC’s contractual obligations under the PFA, MPC has been informed by the CMA that in the event of an undersubscription, the next steps will be undertaken as advised by the CMA in consultation and agreed with the Issue Manager on behalf of MPC and this may prevent MPC from complyinng with its contractual obligations under the PFA. In order to mitigate the risk of non-compliance MPC shall write to the EHC informing them of the CMA’s position and seek the EHC’s consent to the arrangement.

Compliance with the Facilities Agreement

Under the terms of the Facilities Agreement, the Company is under obligations to both do, and refrain from doing, certain things. Failure to comply with these obligations and or prohibitions and other covenants may allow the Lender to terminate the Facilities Agreement and demand repayment of the sums provided by them to the Company.

A summary of the “Positive Covenants”, those obligations the Company must actively pursue, and the “Negative Covenants”, those prohibitions the Company must abide by, are summarised in Chapter XII – Project Costs and Sources of Financing. In addition, Chapter XII also summaries the “Events of Default”, these being the occurrences upon which the Lender may terminate the Facilities Agreement and seek repayment of the loans.

In order to mitigate the risks associated with this matter the Company will take steps to ensure that it is always compliant with the terms of the Facilities Agreement and the covenants set out therein in order to avoid an “Event of Default”. The Company shall also establish such reasonable internal regulations and policies as are necessary to achieve compliance and to avoid an accidental breach of the terms of the Facilities Agreement.

Notes to the financial projections for the years ending 31 December 2019 to 31 December 2023

1 Legal status and principal activities The Company is a closed joint stock company registered and incorporated in the Sultanate of

Oman on 18 November 2014. The Company is engaged in the design, construction, ownership, financing, operation and maintenance of a dual fuel power plant (the “Plant”) with natural gas as the primary fuel and diesel oil as the alternative fuel with a capacity of 120 Mega Watt (MW) located in Wilayat Bukha in the Musandam Governorate, Sultanate of Oman (the “Project”). The registered address of the Company is Muscat, PO Box 261, Postal code 118, Sultanate of Oman. The Company is a subsidiary of Oman Oil Company SAOC (the “Parent”), a closely held joint stock Company incorporated in the Sultanate of Oman, whose registered address is PO Box 261, Postal Code 118, Sultanate of Oman. The Parent holds 69.9% of the Company’s issued share capital.

The Company commenced commercial operations on 17 June 2017. The electricity generated from the Project is sold to Oman Power and Water Procurement Company SAOC under a 15 years Power Purchase Agreement. Natural gas required for the Project is supplied by the Ministry of Oil & Gas under a 15 years gas supply agreement

The Company has entered into the following significant agreements:

i) An Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract with Wartsila Muscat LLC (‘the contractor’) to carry out and complete all design, engineering, procurement and construction of the power plant and implement the Project.

ii) A Long Term Services Agreement (“LTSA”) with Wartsila Muscat LLC.

iii) A power purchase agreement (“PPA’) with Oman Water and Power Procurement Company SAOC (‘OPWP’) to sell the electricity generated from the Plant.

iv) A Natural Gas Sales Agreement (“NGSA”) with Ministry of Oil & Gas to supply and purchase natural gas to and for the Plant.

v) An operation and maintenance agreement with Wartsila Muscat LLC to operate and maintain the Plant.

vi) An electrical connection agreement with Rural Areas Electricity Company SAOC (“RAECO”) for the evacuation of the generated electricity from the Plant.

vii) Usufructs Agreement with Ministry of Housing for the project Site, temporary areas and RAECO substation Area.

viii) A senior facility loan agreement with Bank Muscat SAOG as the lead banker to fund the costs of the Project.

2 Basis of preparation

These financial projections of the Company have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with the accounting policies and key assumptions set out in notes 3 and 4 respectively.

The financial projections are intended to show a possible outcome based on the stated assumptions. Because of the length of the period covered by the financial projections, the assumptions are necessarily more subjective than would be appropriate for a profit forecast. The financial projections do not therefore constitute a forecast.

Since the financial projections relate to the future, actual results are likely to be different from the projected results because events and circumstances do not occur as expected, and the differences may be material.

These financial projections are presented in Rial Omani (RO), rounded to the nearest thousand.

Notes to the financial projections for the years ending 31 December 2019 to 31 December 2023 (continued)

3 Significant accounting policies

The financial projections have been presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The Company has adopted all the new and revised standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) of IASC that are relevant to its operations and effective for the period beginning on 1 January 2019.

IFRS 16 “Leases” is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Company has applied the IFRS 16 in these projected financial statements from 1 January 2019 onwards as required, refer note 4.15.

The company has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has been not restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. On adoption of IFRS 16 Leases, an entity is not required to reassess whether existing contracts contain a lease, but can choose to carry forward the assessments under IFRIC 4 and IAS 17, and apply the definition of a lease only to new contracts entered into after the date of initial application. The company has adopted this choice and applied it consistently for all leases.

Basis of accounting

The financial projections are prepared on the historical cost convention. These financial projections are presented in Rial Omani (RO), rounded to the nearest thousand which is also the functional currency of the Company.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies, which have been adopted and applied consistently in the financial projections.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, any identified impairment loss and residual value.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Plant and machinery 40 years

Office equipment 3 years

Furniture and fixtures 3 years

Motor vehicles 3 years

Page 104: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

102

Notes to the financial projections for the years ending 31 December 2019 to 31 December 2023 (continued)

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

Property, plant and equipment (continued)

Capital spares shall be recognised in the carrying amount of the affected item of property, plant and equipment when it is put in use. The carrying amount of the replaced item is derecognised. When it is not practical to determine the carrying amount of the replaced part, the cost of the capital spares may be used as an indication of what the cost of the replaced part was at the time it was acquired.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount, being the higher of their fair value less costs to sell and their value in use.

Expenditure incurred to replace a component of an item of property, plant and equipment that is accounted for separately is capitalised and the carrying amount of the component that is replaced is written off. Other subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases future economic benefits of the related item of property, plant and equipment. All other expenditure is recognised in the statement or profit or loss as the expense is incurred.

Interest costs on borrowings to finance the construction of qualifying assets are capitalised, during the year that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. All other finance costs are charged to the statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method.

When each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement or profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate, at each financial year end.

Capital work in progress

Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost, less impairment, if any. When commissioned, capital work-in-progress is transferred to the appropriate property, plant and equipment category and depreciated in accordance with the Company’s policy.

Notes to the financial projections for the years ending 31 December 2019 to 31 December 2023 (continued)

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

Leases (Policy applicable before 1 January 2019)

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Amounts receivable under operating leases, as lessor, are recognised as lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which use benefit derived from the leased asset is diminished. In accordance with IFRS, revenue stemming from (substantial) services in connection with the leased asset is not considered as lease revenue and is accounted for separately.

IFRIC 4 deals with the identification of services and take-or-pay sales or purchasing contracts that do not take the legal form of a lease but convey the rights to customers/suppliers to use an asset or a group of assets in return for a payment or a series of fixed payments. Contracts meeting these criteria should be identified as either operating leases or finance leases. This interpretation is applicable to the Company’s PPA.

Leases (Policy applicable after 1 January 2019)

At inception of a contract the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

• the contract involves the use of an identified asset- this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;

• the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

• the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:

- the Company has the right to operate the asset; or

- the Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

This policy is applied to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after 1 January 2019. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices.

Notes to the financial projections for the years ending 31 December 2019 to 31 December 2023 (continued)

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)(i) As a lessee

The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

- fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

- variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

- amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

- the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in ‘property, plant and equipment’ and lease liabilities in ‘Trade and other payables”’ in the statement of financial position.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of machinery that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, including IT equipment. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.(ii) As a lessor

When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.

To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ‘other income’.

The accounting policies applicable to the Company as a lessor in the comparative period were not different from IFRS 16.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Company’s statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Classification of financial assets

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost:• the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in

order to collect contractual cash flows; and• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are

solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial instruments (continued)

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):

• the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets; and

• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Company’s financial assets include trade and other receivable and cash at bank. These financial assets qualify for and are classified as debt instruments measured at amortised cost.

By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The Company does not have any FVTOCI and FVTPL financial assets.

Amortised cost and effective interest rate method

(i) The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period.

For financial instruments other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets (i.e. assets that are credit-impaired on initial recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses, through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition. For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, a credit-adjusted effective interest rate is calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows, including expected credit losses, to the amortised cost of the debt instrument on initial recognition.

The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortised cost and at FVTOCI. For financial instruments other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired (see below). For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If, in subsequent reporting periods, the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Company recognises interest income by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset from initial recognition. The calculation does not revert to the gross basis even if the credit risk of the financial asset subsequently improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired.

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the “finance income - interest income” line item.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on investments in debt instruments that are measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI and trade receivables. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.

The Company always recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.

For all other financial instruments, the Company recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition instead of on evidence of a financial asset being credit-impaired at the reporting date.

Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

(i) Significant increase in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Company considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. Forward-looking information considered includes the future prospects of the industries in which the Company’s debtors operate, obtained from economic expert reports, financial analysts, governmental bodies, relevant think-tanks and other similar organisations, as well as consideration of various external sources of actual and forecast economic information that relate to the Company’s core operations.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition:

• an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument’s external (if available) or internal credit rating;

• significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk for a particular financial instrument, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor, or the length of time or the extent to which the fair value of a financial asset has been less than its amortised cost;

• existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations;

• an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor;

• significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same debtor;

• an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations.

Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Company presumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the Company has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.

Despite the aforegoing, the Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. A financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk if:

(1) The financial instrument has a low risk of default,

(2) The borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term, and

(3) Adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations.

The Company considers a financial asset to have low credit risk when the asset has external credit rating of ‘investment grade’ in accordance with the globally understood definition or if an external rating is not available, the asset has an internal rating of ‘performing’. Performing means that the counterparty has a strong financial position and there is no past due amounts.

For financial guarantee contracts, the date that the Company becomes a party to the irrevocable commitment is considered to be the date of initial recognition for the purposes of assessing the financial instrument for impairment. In assessing whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition of a financial guarantee contracts, the Company considers the changes in the risk that the specified debtor will default on the contract.

The Company regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.

(ii) Definition of default

The Company considers the following as constituting an event of default for internal credit risk management purposes as historical experience indicates that receivables that meet either of the following criteria are generally not recoverable:

• when there is a breach of financial covenants by the counterparty; or

• information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Company, in full (without taking into account any collateral held by the Company).

Irrespective of the above analysis, the Company considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Company has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.

(iii) Credit-impaired financial assets

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:

(a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;

(b) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event (see (ii) above);

(c) the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;

(d) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or

(e) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

(iii) Write-off

The Company writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or in the case of trade receivables, when the amounts are over two years past due, whichever occurs sooner. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Company’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss.

(iv) Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses

The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information as described above. As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting date; for financial guarantee contracts, the exposure includes the amount drawn down as at the reporting date, together with any additional amounts expected to be drawn down in the future by default date determined based on historical trend, the Company’s understanding of the specific future financing needs of the debtors, and other relevant forward-looking information.

For financial assets, the expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For a financial guarantee contract, as the Company is required to make payments only in the event of a default by the debtor in accordance with the terms of the instrument that is guaranteed, the expected loss allowance is the expected payments to reimburse the holder for a credit loss that it incurs less any amounts that the Company expects to receive from the holder, the debtor or any other party.

If the Company has measured the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to lifetime ECL in the previous reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that the conditions for lifetime ECL are no longer met, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month ECL at the current reporting date, except for assets for which simplified approach was used.

The Company recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve, and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of financial position.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. In addition, on derecognition of an investment in a debt instrument classified as at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. In contrast, on derecognition of an investment in equity instrument which the Company has elected on initial recognition to measure at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred to retained earnings.

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

However, financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies, and financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company, are measured in accordance with the specific accounting policies set out below.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held for trading or (iii) it is designated as at FVTPL. The Company does not have financial liabilities at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortised cost

Financial liabilities that are not (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held-for-trading, or (iii) designated as at FVTPL, are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Notes to the financial projections for the years ending 31 December 2019 to 31 December 2023 (continued)

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.

Foreign exchange gains and losses

For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortised cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortised cost of the instruments. These foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in the ‘other gains and losses’ line item in profit or loss (note 11) for financial liabilities that are not part of a designated hedging relationship. For those which are designated as a hedging instrument for a hedge of foreign currency risk foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity.

The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. For financial liabilities that are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognised in profit or loss for financial liabilities that are not part of a designated hedging relationship.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

When the Company exchanges with the existing lender one debt instrument into another one with the substantially different terms, such exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, the Company accounts for substantial modification of terms of an existing liability or part of it as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new liability. It is assumed that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective rate is at least 10 per cent different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. If the modification is not substantial, the difference between: (1) the carrying amount of the liability before the modification; and (2) the present value of the cash flows after modification should be recognised in profit or loss as the modification gain or loss within other gains and losses.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position if, and only if:

• there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts; and

• there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, in which case they are recognised at fair value. The Company holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Trade and other payables

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

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the costs to settle the obligation are both probable and able to be reliably measured.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding 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. Where some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Taxation

Taxation is provided for in accordance with Omani fiscal regulations.

Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts.

Page 116: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

114

Notes to the financial projections for the years ending 31 December 2019 to 31 December 2023 (continued)

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on laws that have been enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Income tax is recognised in the statement of profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in the statement of comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Delay liquidated damages

Delay liquidated damages paid to Oman Power and Water Procurement Company SAOC are recognised as other receivables. Delay liquidated damages receivable are recognized when they are determined to be virtually certain of recovery.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and at bank. Cash and cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and have maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition.

Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All differences are taken to the profit or loss.

Employee benefits

Provision for end of service indemnity for non-Omani employees’ is made in accordance with the Oman labour law, and is based on current remuneration and cumulative years of service at the reporting date.

End of service indemnity for Omani employees are contributed in accordance with the terms of the Social Security Law of 1991.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets:

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised where:

• the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

• the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and

• Either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset

Financial liabilities:

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are only offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the Company intends to either settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted by the accounting standards or for gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions.

Fair values

The fair value of interest-bearing items is estimated based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for items with similar terms and risk characteristics.

Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued) Impairment of non-financial asset

Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

Interest bearing loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortisation process.

Deferred financing costs

The cost of obtaining equity bridge loan and senior facility loan is deferred and amortised over the term of the respective loans using the effective interest rate method. Deferred financing costs less accumulated amortisation are offset against the drawn amount of equity bridge loan and senior facility loan.

Revenue

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer.

Revenue comprises tariffs for power capacity, electrical energy and fuel charges. Tariffs are calculated in accordance with the PPA.

Lease revenue

The PPA with OPWP is considered as a lease within the context of IFRIC 4 and has been classified as an operating lease under IAS 17. Under the PPA, the Company is entitled to the Capacity charges for each hour during which the plant is available for power generation. Capacity charge is treated as lease revenue under operating lease and is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Other revenue from the contracts with the customers

Revenue is measured based on the terms specified in the contract with a customer. The Company recognizes Electrical energy and fuel charges revenue when it transfers the control of a product or service to a customer i.e. when electricity is delivered and the customer has accepted the deliveries and the control has been transferred to the customer. Energy charge and fuel charge is determined based on the fuel and variable cost of power.

No revenue is recognised if it is not probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to customers. In evaluating whether collectability of an amount of consideration is probable, the Company considers only the customers’ ability and intention to pay that amount of consideration when it is due.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are those expenses incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

As of reporting date, inventories consist of diesel and lube oil.

Asset retirement obligation

The provision for asset retirement obligation is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of assets constructed on land under usufruct contracts with the Ministry of Housing, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of provision can be measured reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of removing the facilities and restoring the affected areas. A corresponding asset is recognised in property, plant and equipment and depreciated accordingly.

The provision for asset retirement obligation is a best estimate of the present value of expected costs required to settle the obligation, at the reporting date based on the current requirements of the Usufruct agreement, using estimated cash flows. The cash flows are discounted at a current pre tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the asset retirement obligation. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as a finance cost.

The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are dealt with prospectively and reflected as an adjustment to the provision and corresponding decommissioning asset recorded as property, plant and equipment.

If there is an indication that the new carrying amount of the asset is not fully recoverable, the asset is tested for impairment and an impairment loss is recognised where necessary.

Directors’ remuneration

The Board of Directors’ remuneration is accrued within the limits and the requirements of the Commercial Companies Law of the Sultanate of Oman.

Dividend on ordinary shares

Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as a liability and deducted from equity when they are approved by the Company’s shareholders.

Earnings per share

The Company presents earnings per share (EPS) and net assets per share for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Segmental reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Project Director who manages the Company on a day-to-day basis, as per the directives given by the board of directors that makes strategic decisions.

The following are the significant estimates used in the preparation of the financial projections:

Lease classification

The Company has entered into the PPA”) with OPWP to generate electricity and make available the power capacity from its Plant.

Management believes that IFRIC 12 is not applicable to the arrangement as the residual interest is borne by the Company and not OPWP. The estimated useful life of the power plant of 40 years takes into account the Company’s right to extend the land lease under a Usufruct Agreement for an additional term of 25 years. Furthermore, the residual value of the assets will have substantial value at the conclusion of the PPA and the Company will be able to continue to generate revenue through supply of power taking into account the government’s future plans to deregulate the power sector in Oman.

PROSPECTUS

Notes to the financial projections for the years ending 31 December 2019 to 31 December 2023 (continued)

3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Management considers the requirements of IFRIC 4, “Determining Whether an Arrangement

Contains a Lease”, which sets out guidelines to determine when an arrangement might contain a lease. The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

Once a determination is reached that an arrangement contains a lease, the lease arrangement is classified as either financing or operating according to the principles in IAS 17, Leases. A lease that conveys the majority of the risks and rewards of operation is a finance lease. A lease other than a finance lease is an operating lease.

Based on management’s evaluation, the PPA with OPWP is considered as a lease within the context of IFRIC 4 and has been classified as an operating lease under IAS 17 since significant risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the plant lies with the Company and not with OPWP.

The primary basis for this conclusion is that the PPA is for a term of 15 years while the economic life of the power plant is estimated to be 40 years. The present value of minimum lease payments under the PPA do not substantially recover the fair value of the plant at the inception of the lease.

Provision for asset retirement obligation

Upon expiry of their respective Usufruct, the Company will have an obligation to remove the facilities and restore the affected area. The estimated cost, discount rate and risk rate used in the provision for decommissioning costs calculation is based on management’s best estimates.

Useful lives and residual value of equipment

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, less their residual value, over their estimated useful lives. The calculation of useful lives is based on management’s assessment of various factors such as the operating cycles, the maintenance programs, and normal wear and tear using its best estimates. The calculation of the residual value is based on the management best estimates.

Impairment of inventories

Inventories are held at the lower of cost and net realisable value. When inventories become old or obsolete, an estimate is made of their net realisable value. For individually significant amounts this estimation is performed on an individual basis. Amounts which are not individually significant, but which are old or obsolete, are assessed collectively and a provision applied according to the inventory type and the degree of ageing or obsolescence.

Taxes

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships and nature of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded.

The company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of finalization of tax assessments of the company. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax assessments and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority.

4 Key assumptions

The financial projections of the Company’s activities for the years 2019 to 2023 have been prepared by the Company’s management in good faith and with due care and attention, based on assumptions, which they consider appropriate. A careful effort has been made to estimate the future plant capacity utilisation and the related income generated by the Company on the basis of existing facilities to arrive at the projected statement of profit or loss. However, there can be no certainty as to the extent to which the actual results will match the projections or whether the assumptions will remain valid.

The following is a summary of key assumptions:

4.1 Revenue

The Company’s revenue stream comprises of energy charges, capacity charges and other charges.

Details of projected revenue from the revenue stream mentioned above for the five years are set out below:

2019 2020 2021 2022 2023

RO ’000 RO ’000 RO ’000 RO ’000 RO ‘000

Energy charges 2,266 2,452 2,638 2,680 2,724

Capacity charges 10,851 10,947 11,016 11,056 11,170

Other charges 10,110 13,737 15,071 15,499 15,976

23,227 27,136 28,725 29,235 29,870

The PPA provides that the Company will make available and sell to OPWP a guaranteed electricity capacity, for which the Company will receive payment that will compensate for the investments made and the operating costs as follows;

i) Electricity Energy charge

The charge which comprises the Electrical Energy Variable Operation and Maintenance charge.

Electricity energy variable operations and maintenance charge

Electricity energy variable operations and maintenance charge is designed to cover the variable operation and maintenance costs to produce the electricity output delivered (other than in respect of fuel). The charge is calculated based on the electricity output and the electricity capacity operation and maintenance charge rate.

ii) Power Capacity Charge

The charge which comprises the power capacity investment charge and the power capacity fixed operation and maintenance charge.

PROSPECTUS

Notes to the financial projections for the years ending 31 December 2019 to 31 December 2023 (continued)

4 Key assumptions (continued)

4.1 Revenue (continued)

Power Capacity investment charge

Power capacity charge is designed to cover the investment by the Company such as debt service, return on equity, tax payments and connection fee (capital component). The charge is calculated based on the power capacity investment change rate and adjusted for scheduled unavailability, forced outages, any de-rating of the plant and seasonal weighting factor. The PPA allows for adjustment for any change in the RO/USD exchange rate.

Power Capacity fixed operation and maintenance charge

Power capacity fixed operation and maintenance charge is designed to cover the fixed costs to operate and maintain the plant, spare parts, insurance and overhead, manpower, generator license fee and connection fee (O&M component). Similar to the power capacity investment charge, it is calculated based on the power capacity operation and maintenance charge rate and adjusted for scheduled unviability, forced outages, any de-rating of the plant and seasonal weighting factor. Power capacity fixed O&M charge is indexed to the inflation rate and is adjusted for any change in the RO/USD exchange rate.

iii) Fuel Charge

The Fuel charge is the amount payable to compensate the generator for the total fuel demand required for the production of electricity energy delivered.

4.2 Operating cost

The operating cost over the period is as follows:

2019 2020 2021 2022 2023

RO ’000 RO ’000 RO ’000 RO ’000 RO ‘000

The Company is liable to income tax at 15% of taxable income.

4.6 Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, in which case they are recognised at fair value. The Company holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

In accordance with Deed of Settlement dated 20 December 2018 in relation to the EPC delay LDs with the EPC Contractor, the Fixed Fee payable under clause 10.3 of the LTSA will be reduced by the total amount of US$ 2.1 million by way of pro-rata reduction of the monthly fee payable over three (3) years from 1 January 2019. In the event the Fixed Fee in any month is less than the pro-rata amount payable towards the US$ 2.1 million, the balance will be deducted from the Variable Fee payable under clause 10.3 of the LTSA. Receivables is shown as current and non-current parts.

Trade receivables (current portion) represent amounts receivable from Oman Power and Water Company and Ministry of Oil & Gas for the last invoice as of the reporting date and the non-current portion of other receivables represent amounts receivable (non-current portion) from LTSA as of the reporting date:

4.8 Share capital

The authorized share capital is currently 20 million ordinary shares of RO 1 each. Each share will be split into ten before the initial public offering (IPO).The issued and fully-paid share capital of the Company is RO 7.039 million. The founding shareholders of the Company are divesting a portion of their shareholding in the Company in accordance with the regulatory requirements through an IPO of 28,156,000 ordinary shares with a value of 100 baisas per share. The issued and fully paid up share capital of the Company will remain unchanged during the period of the financial projections. The IPO proceeds and related share issue expenses will accrue to the founding shareholders. Thus the IPO is cash neutral for the Company.

4.9 Legal reserve

Article 106 of the Commercial Companies Law of 1974 requires that 10% of a Company’s net profit be transferred to a non-distributable statutory reserve until the amount of the statutory reserve becomes equal to at least one-third of the Company’s paid up share capital.

4 Key assumptions (continued)

4.11 Provision for asset retirement obligation

The provision for asset retirement obligation is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of assets constructed on land under usufruct contracts with the Ministry of Housing, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of provision can be measured reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of removing the facilities and restoring the affected areas. A corresponding asset is recognised in property, plant and equipment and depreciated accordingly.

The provision for asset retirement obligation is a best estimate of the present value of expected costs required to settle the obligation, at the reporting date based on the current requirements of the Usufruct agreement, using estimated cash flows. The cash flows are discounted at a current pre tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the asset retirement obligation. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as a finance cost.

The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are dealt with prospectively and reflected as an adjustment to the provision and corresponding decommissioning asset recorded as property, plant and equipment.

If there is an indication that the new carrying amount of the asset is not fully recoverable, the asset is tested for impairment and an impairment loss is recognised where necessary.

The decommissioning obligation represents the present value of management’s best estimate of the future sacrifice of the economic benefits that will be required to remove the facilities and restore the affected area at the Company’s leased site. The estimate has been made on the basis of the independent calculation by a professional consultant discounted at 5.5% to its present value, over the plant’s estimated useful life of 40 years. The annual unwinding of discount is part of finance cost (Note 4.4).

4.12 Shareholders’ loans

Facilities

Shareholders’ provided funding of RO 13.05 million during 2016, which was fully utilized to repay the equity bridge loan. During 2017, the shareholders have resolved to convert one half of these funding into share capital of the Company and remaining half RO 6.539 million has been classified as loans from shareholders.

Chapter XV

Dividend Policy

As per the Articles of Association (AoA) of the Company, 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 the Company ending 31 December 2018 on a pari-passu basis, and any subsequent years. Following the Offer, the Shareholders’ register of the Company 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.

Musandam 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 Article 132 of the CCL, the company’s Board of Directors shall subtract 10% from the net profits of each financial year, after the deduction of taxes, to form a legal reserve till it reaches at least one-third of the company’s capital. Such reserve may be used to cover the company’s losses and to increase its capital by issuing shares. Such reserve, however, may not be distributed as share dividends to shareholders except when the company reduces its capital, provided the legal reserve shall not be less than one third of the capital after reduction.

• Distribution may be made only from net profits after the deduction of all the necessary costs and set aside required amortizations, allocations and reserves including allocations made by the company from the profits to increase its capital, pursuant to Article 131 of the CCL.

• the remaining profit thereafter may be distributed as an additional dividend to Shareholders or be carried forward to the following year on the Board’s recommendation;

• Dividend distribution will also be limited in time to respect prepayment clauses in the Facilities Agreement;

• The constraints on any payment of a dividend are given by way of a payment waterfall under the Facilities Agreement, where the Company 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 Facilities Agreement.

Additionally, as set out in Chapter XII – Project Costs and Financing, The repayment of the outstanding Shareholders’ Loans amount of c. OMR 3.1 million is anticipated to be completed by November 2019 as detailed in Chapter XII – Project Costs and Financing.

After the IPO, it is intended that Shareholders will receive a stream of cash flows (dividend stream) during the term of the Project and for the post PPA period. The dividends are expected to be declared twice in a Financial Year subject to the terms of the Facilities Agreement. The first dividend post IPO would be paid in December 2019. Thereafter dividend would be paid twice every year in March and September.

Chapter XVI

Valuation and Price Justification

I. Overview

The pricing of the Company’s IPO is underpinned by various qualitative and quantitative factors based on the Company’s competitive strengths and form the basis for delivering steady cash flows to the shareholders. The key strengths of the Company can be summarized into four groups. These are:

i. Well defined contractual framework

ii. Strong Project Founders and Operator with an established track record

iii. Strategic importance of the Plant and efficient technology

iv. Financial strength

Each of these are discussed and elaborated below.

Well-defined contractual framework

• Steady and reliable cash flows till 2032, even in a scenario of power demand volatility

The Company has entered into a 15-year PPA (expires in January 2032) with OPWP. OPWP is owned by the Government of Oman and has a proven track record of contractual payments to similar utility companies in Oman. With a long term PPA, the Company has a well-established contractual framework ensuring cash flow protection against adverse events such as potential shocks in electricity demand during the PPA period. Under the PPA, the Company receives capacity charges from OPWP based on the Plant’s availability irrespective of the quantity of power output dispatched. This makes the Company resilient to power demand fluctuations during the PPA period.

• Natural gas supply and price risk is mitigated through the NGSA

The primary fuel used by the Company is natural gas. Under the 15 year NGSA entered into by the Company, MoG is responsible for the procurement and delivery to the Plant of all of its natural gas requirements over the PPA period. In the event that PPA is extended, the NGSA will automatically be extended. Any increase in the price of natural gas charged by MoG is directly passed through to OPWP under the PPA. Additional information on the NGSA can be found in Chapter XI - Contractual Framework of this prospectus. Further, in the event that natural gas is not available, the Plant will automatically change over to Fuel Oil operation and the Company is entitled to receive capacity charges as well as variable fuel cost from OPWP. Any incremental costs for the use of Fuel Oil instead of natural gas are also borne by the MoG.

Strong Project Founders and Operator with an established track record

• Strong experience of the Project Founders

The Company has the backing of Project Founders with a proven track record of implementing large and complex projects in Oman, GCC and globally. It should be noted that the most significant Project Founders, Oman Oil Company SAOC and LGI, will remain major shareholders in the Company immediately after the IPO, with a collective holding of 60%. The Project Founders namely Oman Oil Company SAOC and LGI have prior experience in owning and operating power plants across the globe. For more details on the Project Founders please refer “Chapter X - Description of Musandam Power and Business Overview”.

• Experienced Operator to ensure efficient operations for the Plant

Further, WMU has been appointed as the operator under the O&M Agreement and LTSA provider. WMU’s parent company, Wärtsilä Corporation, is a global leader in smart technologies and complete lifecycle solutions for the energy and marine markets with a history of c. 180 years and a global market share of c. 13% in market for gas and liquid fuel power plants with less than 500 MW capacity. For more details on the Operator please refer “Chapter X - Description of Musandam Power and Business Overview”.

Strategic importance of the Plant and efficient technology

• Strategic importance of the Plant

The Plant with contracted capacity of c. 120.7 MW is the only independent power plant servicing the electricity demand of the Musandam Power System. Unlike other IPPs in Oman, the Plant was awarded on “closed procurement” basis to Oman Oil Company SAOC and LGI. Further, given the relatively small size of the Musandam Power System and the strategic importance of this Plant within Musandam Power System, IPA expects the continuation of the single buyer approach by OPWP in Musandam Governorate with the Company continuing to serve the requirements of the Musandam Power System in the post PPA period.

• State-of-the-art Plant with competitive heat rate and flexibility

In line with the unique requirement of Musandam Governorate, WMU’s reciprocating engines are optimally designed to:

(i) operate using both natural gas and Fuel Oil,

(ii) operate at extreme temperatures of up to 50°C,

(iii) deliver superior performance in highly humid conditions,

(iv) operate at very competitive heat rates,

(v) have flexibility of fast start-up and shutdown, and

(vi) switch over between gas and Fuel Oil operation seamlessly.

The Plant’s design is also suited to the island like mode of operations of the Musandam Power System and has low water requirement for cooling. Moreover, the Plant is designed to provide high flexibility to effectively handle the load variation which results in cost savings for the Company.

• Operating at high reliability since the COD

The Plant has achieved excellent operating performance parameters since the COD with a Plant reliability of 99.9% which evidences efficient plant operation.

Financial strength

The projected financial statements of the Company show a steady financial performance. This is underpinned by a well-defined contractual framework for a Plant with efficient technology managed by experienced Project Founders and WMU with an established track record.

• Value in the post PPA period

As per IPA, which was appointed on behalf of the investors to ascertain the cash flows for the Company in the post PPA period, there will be significant value for the Company in the post-PPA period. This is because IPA expects that the capacity of existing plants and firm new builds in the Musandam Power System will not be sufficient to cover demand thereafter. Moreover, given the size of the Musandam Power System and the strategic importance of the Company, IPA expects the continuation of the single buyer approach by OPWP in Musandam Power System. The base case average annual EBITDA projected by IPA for the Company from the expiry of the PPA period to 2056 is c.RO 12.8mn.

II. Price Range

A Price Range of Bzs 260 to Bzs 325 per Share has been fixed for the IPO. This is based on a number of valuation methodologies that that have been used in the past for power sector IPOs in Oman while taking into consideration the current market conditions.

Valuation Methodologies

The methods used are as follows:

– Relative valuation; and

– Dividend discount model (DDM) valuation

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

Page 136: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

134

Relative Valuation Method

Under this approach, the valuation is benchmarked against other listed comparable companies which have a similar regulatory framework and 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 in the utility sector in Oman include the dividend yield method and the price to earnings 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 sometimes be difficult to find a sample of truly comparable companies. This is mitigated by the presence of a number of listed utility companies in Oman which have similar business and contracts

- 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

Dividend Discount Model (DDM) Valuation Method

The DDM 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 DDM method Disadvantages of DDM method

- DDM may be one of the most theoretically sound valuation methods

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

- Potentially less influenced by volatile market conditions

- Allows valuation of the entire business in aggregate or of each of its components separately

- Valuation may be highly sensitive to underlying assumptions for future cash flows particularly by those relating to the post PPA period (mitigated by the presence of long term contracts in place in the case of the Company during the PPA period) and discount rate;

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

Page 137: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

135

PROSPECTUS

Relative valuation: Dividend yield

Dividend yield may be considered the primary relative valuation benchmark for the Company in view of its stable business model with no identified expansion plans.

Applicability of DDM for valuing the Company The Company has a business model with stable and reliable cash flows owing to the contractual framework discussed earlier in this Chapter. This is expected to provide reliable projected dividend distributions to investors, which have been used for discounting purpose. This approach is consistent with the IPO valuations of power and water sector companies in Oman in the past where projected dividends were discounted for DDM valuation.

Cashflows projections for the PPA and post PPA periods- Owing to the contractual agreement with OPWP, the Company’s operating cashflows can be

estimated with a fair amount of certainty for the PPA period (i.e. till January 2032).

- For the post-PPA period cashflows, projections have been provided by IPA, an independent consultant, appointed on behalf of potential investors. IPA’s estimates involve several assumptions including demand for power, available capacities, off-take arrangements, etc. in the post PPA period. IPA, drawing on its experience from more than 80 countries, has developed projected cash flows of the company under ten different scenarios.

- For the purpose of DDM valuation of the Company, the highest cash flows have been used as the optimistic case, the lowest cash flows have been used as the pessimistic case and the base case is the same as provided by IPA as the base case.

DDM Valuation:

Present value per share based on projected cashflows

The price per Share in Baizas based on projected dividend flows until FY2056 i.e., based on the cashflow projections by the Company during the PPA and the cashflow projections by IPA during the post-PPA period throughout the estimated useful life of the plant, under various scenarios is as follows:

Offer Period

The Phase I Offer Period will commence on 3 November 2019 and end on 7 November 2019 at 2 PM Oman Time.

Subscription and Application Process for Phase I Applicants

(a) Applicants who wish to subscribe for Phase I Offer Shares may do so by completing an Application. Applications for Phase I will be available at the head offices of the Collection Agents and can be submitted at the head offices of the Collection Agents. The list of name, address and contact details of Collection Agents for Musandam Power IPO are provided later in this chapter. The Application must be completed in full in accordance with the instructions contained in this Prospectus. Incomplete Applications may be rejected. Applicants may only use the specified Application for the purpose of making a subscription for the Phase I Offer.

(b) Each Applicant may only submit one Application. Phase I Applicants may place an Application with a Collection Agent from 3 November 2019 to 7 November 2019. Along with the Application, all Phase I Applicants must make a payment equal to the Phase I Application Money in the manner described under the paragraph “Terms of Payment”.

(c) Each Applicant may make up to three (3) bids in the Application and will need to specify in the Application the price applicable to the Shares that are the subject of each such bid, which is within the Price Range (each “a Bid Price”), accompanied with the number of Phase I Offer Shares bid for at that Bid Price.

(d) The bids must be listed in descending price order on the Application, starting with the highest Bid Price and ending with the lowest Bid Price. For each Phase I Application, the quantity of Offer Shares bid for at the highest Bid Price must be the minimum number of Offer Shares bid for in the Application. Subsequent bids at lower Bid Price levels in the application must contain a bid for an equal or higher number of Offer Shares than the preceding price point. No Phase I Applicant would be allowed to withdraw their Application after it is submitted to the Collection Agent. Please see below an indicative illustration of the application process.

Indicative illustration of the bids in an Application

Applicant Name Applicant A Applicant B

Bids submitted by Phase I Applicants

No. of Offer Shares at each Bid Price

5,000 at Bzs 26010,000 at Bzs 300

5,000 at Bzs 32510,000 at Bzs 30015,000 at Bzs 260

In the illustration above, two applications have been received for Phase I Offer. Each Applicant has placed different bids. For Applicant A, the bid at Bzs 260 should have been greater than 10,000 Offer Shares as Applicant A is already willing to buy 10,000 Offer Shares at Bzs 300. As a result the bid of 5,000 at Bzs 260 for Applicant A will be rejected. Applicant B has made valid bids as the quantity of Offer Shares demanded at every lower price point is higher. Further, in case the cut-off price is determined as Bzs 300, then Applicant B will receive allotment base on only the bid of 10,000 Offer Shares at Bzs 300 and the bid of 5,000 Offer Shares at Bzs 325 will not be considered.

Page 164: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

162

(e) The Phase I Application Money represents the highest value single bid in Omani Rials on an Application. For example, if an Applicant submits a bid for 1,000,000 Offer Shares at a Bid Price of Bzs 325 per Share, a bid for 1,200,000 Offer Shares at a Bid Price of Bzs 310 per Share, and a bid for 1,500,000 Offer Shares at a Bid Price of Bzs 300 per Share, the highest value single Order in Omani Rials is for 1,500,000 Offer Shares at a Bid Price of Bzs 300. Hence the Phase I Application Money in this case would equal to OMR 450,000 and the Applicant must pay OMR 450,000 for the Application to be valid.

Indicative illustration of the bids in an Application

Bid 3 300 (A3) 1,500,000 (B3) 450,000 (A3 * B3)

(f) Each Phase I Applicant, who has placed his bid and would like to revise his Application should do the following:

a. Submit an Application Revision Form in the last 2 working days of the Phase I Offer Period i.e. 6 November 2019 and 7 November 2019, for those who have applied in the first 3 days of the Phase I Offer Period only;

b. Applicants would be allowed to make revisions in relation to both the desired number of Shares and the Bid Price, but only once, by filling out the Application Revision Form;

c. Only upward revision of Bid Prices or number of Shares or both is allowed, subject to payment of the Additional Application Money to the respective Collection Agent. For the sake of clarity, an Applicant cannot make any downward revision of Bid Prices or number of Phase I Offer Shares or both; and

d. The Applicant will not be able to increase or decrease the number of bids using the Application Revision Form. For example, if an Applicant submitted 2 bids in the original Application, the Applicant must submit 2 bids in the Application Revision Form as well.

e. The Applicant who submits the Application within the last two days of the Phase I Offer Period; i.e. 6 November 2019 or 7 November 2019, may not submit the Application Revision Form.

Indicative Price Determination and Allocation Process

The price determination and allocation for the Phase I Offer Shares shall be determined by the MCDC in consultation with the Issue Manager and the CMA, according to the conditions set out in this Prospectus.

1) Indicative Price Determination Process

(a) In Phase I, Applications for Offer Shares at each Bid Price mentioned in the Applications will be grouped together to determine the total demand at each Bid Price;

(b) in respect of the Offer Shares that the Issuer will issue, the Bid Price shall be accepted in descending order until aggregate demand for Offer Shares at a certain Bid Price is equal to, or more, than the total Offer Shares, the Bid Price so accepted shall be the Offer Price;

(c) the Offer Price shall be based on the bid which covers the total Offer Shares amongst the bids which are at or higher than the Offer Price.

Page 165: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

163

PROSPECTUS

2) Indicative Allocation Process

(a) each applicant will be allotted Offer Shares at the Offer Price regardless of whether it bids at a higher Bid Price than the Offer Price;

(b) bids in Applications for Shares at a Bid Price lower than the Offer Price shall not receive any allocation.; and

(c) MCDC will refund all amounts to unsuccessful Applicant for whom all the bids in the Application are less than the announced Offer Price, within three working days from the end of the Phase I Offer Close date. Such Applicants shall also be entitled to submit Application for the Phase II Offer Shares in accordance with the conditions mentioned in the Prospectus.

@325 Bzs - 5,000 5,000 - - 10,000

Offer Price

300 Bzs

In the illustration above, five applications have been received for Phase I Offer. Each Applicant has placed different bids. Applicants A and D do not wish to purchase Offer Shares at a Bid Price above Bzs 300 and Applicant E does not wish to purchase Offer Shares at a Bid Price above Bzs 260. Applicants B and C have provided multiple bids indicating that they will purchase less Offer Shares as the share price goes higher. Based on the bids received, MCDC will analyse the effective demand at each Bid Price within the offer range. For example while Applicant A has placed a bid at a Bid Price of Bzs 300 he would be willing to buy the same number of Offer Shares for less and his demand will be included in the demand at the Offer Share at Bid Price of Bzs 260.

MCDC will review the order book to determine the Offer Price. As can be seen from the analysis above, the highest price at which the Company has received sufficient demand for the total Offer Shares offered i.e. 30,000 is at a Bid Price of Bzs 300 and is thus able to price the offering at Bzs 300. This will mean that all Phase I Applicants who have applied at or above a Bid Price of Bzs 300 will receive a pro-rata allotment.

Minimum Subscription Limit for Phase I

The minimum number of Shares for Phase I Applicants will be 200,100 Offer Shares and in multiples of 100 Offer Shares thereafter.

Maximum Subscription Limit for Phase I

The maximum number of Shares that can be applied for by a Phase I Applicant is 10 per cent (10%) of the total Offer size which equates to 2,815,600 Offer Shares. It is not permissible for any Applicant to subscribe for more than this amount.

For the purpose of calculation of the maximum subscription percentage, an Application for subscription of a father (or guardian) shall be aggregated with any Applications submitted on behalf of related minor children. If the amount of the Phase I Offer Shares subscribed for following this aggregation exceeds the said percentage, the Phase I Offer Shares applied for under each Application shall be reduced proportionately before making the allotment.

None of Musandam Power and/or the Issue Manager is liable for any changes in applicable laws or regulations that occur after the date of this Prospectus. Applicants are advised to make their own independent investigations to ensure that their Applications comply with prevailing laws and regulations.

2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND DISCLOSURES

2.1 Standards and amendments effective in 2015 and relevant for the Company’s operations:

For the year ended 31 December 2015, the Company has adopted all of the new and revised standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for periods beginning on 1 January 2015.

The adoption of these standards and interpretations has not resulted in changes to the Company’s accounting policies and has not affected the amounts reported for the current and prior periods.

2.2 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Company:

The following new standards and amendments have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) but are not yet mandatory for the year ended 31 December 2015:

IFRS 9: Financial Instruments

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments which reflects all phases of the financial instruments project and replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. Except for hedge accounting, retrospective application is required but comparative information is not compulsory. The Company has performed a high-level impact assessment of all three aspects of IFRS 9 and expects no significant impact on its balance sheet and equity. The Company plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and establishes a new five-step model that will apply to revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15 revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in IFRS 15 provide a more structured approach to measuring and recognising revenue. The new revenue standard is applicable to all entities and will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. Either a full or modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 15 and plan to adopt the new standard on the required effective date. The Company is considering the clarifications issued by the IASB in an exposure draft in July 2015 and will monitor any further developments.

IFRS 16 Leases

The IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases (IFRS 16), which requires lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for most leases. For lessors, there is little change to the existing accounting in IAS 17 Leases. The Company will perform a detailed assessment in the future to determine the extent. The new standard will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early application is permitted, provided the new revenue standard, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, has been applied, or is applied at the same date as IFRS 16.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAt 31 December 2015 (continued)

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the Commercial Companies Law of 1974, as amended.

The financial statements have been presented in Rial Omani (“RO”) which is also the functional currency of the Company.

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention.

A summary of significant accounting policies, which are consistent with those used in the previous period, are set out below.

3.2 Equipment and capital work in progress

(a) Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Office equipment 3 years

Furniture and fixtures 3 years

An item of equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit or loss, when the asset is derecognized.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

(b) Capital work in progress

Capital work in progress includes all expenditure incurred on process design, detailed engineering, construction, equipment, project management, legal fees, and other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Certain costs which are attributable to the project though cannot be identified to a specific asset are being charged to capital work-in-progress.

Interest costs on borrowings to finance the construction of qualifying assets are capitalised, during the period that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. All other finance costs are charged to the statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method.

Capital work in progress is recorded at cost less impairment, if any.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAt 31 December 2015 (continued)

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

3.3 Impairment and un-collectability of financial assets

An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a specific financial asset may be impaired. If such evidence exists, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss. Impairment is determined as follows:

(d) For assets carried at fair value, impairment is the difference between cost and fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the profit or loss;

(e) For assets carried at cost, impairment is the difference between carrying value and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset;

(f) For assets carried at amortised cost, impairment is the difference between carrying amount and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

3.4 Other receivables

Other receivables are stated at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when there is no possibility of recovery.

3.5 Account payables and accruals

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether billed by the supplier or not.

3.6 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the costs to settle the obligation are both probable and able to be reliably measured.

The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income of any reimbursements.

3.7 Income tax

Taxation is provided for in accordance with Omani fiscal regulations.

Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on laws that have been enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised.

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

3.7 Income tax (continued)

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the profit or loss.

3.8 Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All differences are taken to the profit or loss.

3.9 Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets:

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised where:

• the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

• the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and

• Either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Financial liabilities:

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are only offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the Company intends to either settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted by the accounting standards or for gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions.

3.10 Fair values

The fair value of interest-bearing items is estimated based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for items with similar terms and risk characteristics.

Page 190: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

F-188

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAt 31 December 2015 (continued)

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

3.11 Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

3.12 Impairment of non-financial asset

Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

3.13 Interest bearing loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortisation process.

3.14 Deferred financing costs

The cost of obtaining equity bridge loan and senior facility loan is deferred and amortised over the term of the respective loans using the effective interest rate method. Deferred financing costs less accumulated amortisation are offset against the drawn amount of equity bridge loan and senior facility loan.

3.15 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the reporting date.

2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND DISCLOSURES

2.1 Standards and amendments effective in 2016 and relevant for the Company’s operations:

For the year ended 31 December 2016, the Company has adopted all of the new and revised standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for periods beginning on 1 January 2016.

The adoption of these standards and interpretations has not resulted in changes to the Company’s accounting policies and has not affected the amounts reported for the current and prior periods.

2.2 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Company:

The following new standards and amendments have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) but are not yet mandatory for the year ended 31 December 2016:

IFRS 9: Financial Instruments

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments which reflects all phases of the financial instruments project and replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. Except for hedge accounting, retrospective application is required but comparative information is not compulsory. The Company has performed a high-level impact assessment of all three aspects of IFRS 9 and expects no significant impact on its financial statements. The Company plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and establishes a new five-step model that will apply to revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15 revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in IFRS 15 provide a more structured approach to measuring and recognising revenue. The new revenue standard is applicable to all entities and will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. Either a full or modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 15 and plan to adopt the new standard on the required effective date. The Company is considering the clarifications issued by the IASB in an exposure draft in July 2015 and will monitor any further developments.

IFRS 16 Leases

The IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases (IFRS 16), which requires lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for most leases. For lessors, there is little change to the existing accounting in IAS 17 Leases. The Company will perform a detailed assessment in the future to determine the extent. The new standard will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early application is permitted, provided the new revenue standard, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, has been applied, or is applied at the same date as IFRS 16.The Company will assess the implementation of the new standards during 2017.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAt 31 December 2016 (continued)

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the Commercial Companies Law of 1974, as amended.

The financial statements have been presented in Rial Omani (“RO”) which is also the functional currency of the Company.

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention.

A summary of significant accounting policies, which are consistent with those used in the previous period, are set out below.

3.2 Equipment and capital work in progress

(a) Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Office equipment 3 years

Furniture and fixtures 3 years

An item of equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit or loss, when the asset is derecognised.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

(b) Capital work in progress

Capital work in progress includes all expenditure incurred on process design, detailed engineering, construction, equipment, project management, legal fees, and other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Certain costs which are attributable to the project though cannot be identified to a specific asset are being charged to capital work-in-progress.

Interest costs on borrowings to finance the construction of qualifying assets are capitalised, during the period that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. All other finance costs are charged to the statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method.

Capital work in progress is recorded at cost less impairment, if any.

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)3.3 Impairment and un-collectability of financial assets

An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a specific financial asset may be impaired. If such evidence exists, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss. Impairment is determined as follows:

(g) For assets carried at fair value, impairment is the difference between cost and fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the profit or loss;

(h) For assets carried at cost, impairment is the difference between carrying value and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset;

(i) For assets carried at amortised cost, impairment is the difference between carrying amount and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

3.4 Other receivables Other receivables are stated at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible

amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when there is no possibility of recovery.

3.5 Account payables and accruals Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received,

whether billed by the supplier or not.

3.6 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the costs to settle the obligation are both probable and able to be reliably measured.

The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income of any reimbursements.

3.7 Income tax Taxation is provided for in accordance with Omani fiscal regulations.

Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on laws that have been enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the profit or loss.

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

3.8 Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All differences are taken to the profit or loss.

3.9 Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets:

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised where:

• the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

• the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and

• Either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset

Financial liabilities:

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are only offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the Company intends to either settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted by the accounting standards or for gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions.

3.10 Fair values

The fair value of interest-bearing items is estimated based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for items with similar terms and risk characteristics.

3.11 Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

3.12 Impairment of non-financial asset

Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

3.13 Interest bearing loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortisation process.

3.14 Deferred financing costs

The cost of obtaining equity bridge loan and senior facility loan is deferred and amortised over the term of the respective loans using the effective interest rate method. Deferred financing costs less accumulated amortisation are offset against the drawn amount of equity bridge loan and senior facility loan.

3.15 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the reporting date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAt 31 December 2017 (continued)

2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND DISCLOSURES (continued)

2.1 Standards and amendments effective in 2017 and relevant for the Company’s operations:

• Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows: Disclosure Initiative

• Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses

• Annual Improvements Cycle - 2014-2016

• Amendments to IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities:

Clarification of the scope of disclosure requirements in IFRS 12

The adoption of these standards and interpretations has not resulted in any major changes to the Company’s accounting policies and has not affected the amounts reported for the current and prior periods.

2.2 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Company:

The following new standards and amendments have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) but are not yet mandatory for the year ended 31 December 2017:

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014, and amended in April 2016, and establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

The new revenue standard will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. Either a full retrospective application or a modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Company plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date using the modified retrospective approach.

The Company has performed an initial assessment and concluded that the impact is not material as in majority of the Company’s contracts with customers, rendering of service is generally expected to be the only performance obligation and accordingly, adoption of IFRS 15 is not expected to have any significant impact on the Company’s revenue and profit or loss. This assessment is based on currently available information and may be subject to changes arising from further reasonable and supportable information being made available to the Company.

IFRS 16 Leases

The IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases (IFRS 16), which requires lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for most leases. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of ’low-value’ assets (e.g., personal computers) and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). For lessors, there is little change to the existing accounting in IAS 17 Leases. Company will perform a detailed assessment in the future to determine the extent.

2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND DISCLOSURES (continued)

2.2 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Company: (continued)

Early application is permitted, provided the new revenue standard, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, has been applied, or is applied at the same date as IFRS 16. A lessee can choose to apply the standard using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The standard’s transition provisions permit certain reliefs.

IFRS 16 also requires lessees and lessors to make more extensive disclosures than under IAS 17.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments that replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. IFRS 9 brings together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments project: classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. Except for hedge accounting, retrospective application is required but providing comparative information is not compulsory. For hedge accounting, the requirements are generally applied prospectively, with some limited exceptions. The Company plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date and will not restate comparative information. During 2017, the Company has performed an impact assessment of all three aspects of IFRS 9. This assessment is based on currently available information and may be subject to changes arising from further reasonable and supportable information being made available to the Company in 2018 when the Company will adopt IFRS 9. Overall, the Company expects no significant impact on its statement of financial position and equity.

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB and the Commercial Companies Law of 1974 of the Sultanate of Oman, as amended.

On adoption of IFRIC 4 “Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease” the management concluded that its PPA contain lease arrangements. The lease arrangement has been determined to be operating leases under IAS 17.

The financial statements have been presented in Rial Omani (“RO”) which is also the functional currency of the Company.

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention.

A summary of significant accounting policies, which are consistent with those used in the previous year, are set out below.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAt 31 December 2017 (continued)

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

3.2 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, any identified impairment loss and residual value.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Plant and machinery 30 years

Office equipment 3 years

Furniture and fixtures 3 years

Motor vehicles 3 years

Capital spares shall be recognised in the carrying amount of the affected item of property, plant and equipment when it is put in use. The carrying amount of the replaced item is derecognised. When it is not practical to determine the carrying amount of the replaced part, the cost of the capital spares may be used as an indication of what the cost of the replaced part was at the time it was acquired.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount, being the higher of their fair value less costs to sell and their value in use.

Expenditure incurred to replace a component of an item of property, plant and equipment that is accounted for separately is capitalised and the carrying amount of the component that is replaced is written off. Other subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases future economic benefits of the related item of property, plant and equipment. All other expenditure is recognised in the statement or profit or loss as the expense is incurred.

Interest costs on borrowings to finance the construction of qualifying assets are capitalised, during the year that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. All other finance costs are charged to the statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method.

When each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement or profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate, at each financial year end.

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)3.2 Property, plant and equipment (continued)

Capital work in progress

Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost, less impairment, if any. When commissioned, capital work-in-progress is transferred to the appropriate property, plant and equipment category and depreciated in accordance with the Company’s policy.

3.3 Impairment and un-collectability of financial assets

An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a specific financial asset may be impaired. If such evidence exists, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss. Impairment is determined as follows:(a) For assets carried at fair value, impairment is the difference between cost and fair value, less

any impairment loss previously recognised in the profit or loss;(b) For assets carried at cost, impairment is the difference between carrying value and the present

value of future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset;

(c) For assets carried at amortised cost, impairment is the difference between carrying amount and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

3.4 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are stated at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when there is no possibility of recovery.

3.5 Account payables and accruals

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether billed by the supplier or not.

3.6 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the costs to settle the obligation are both probable and able to be reliably measured.

The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income of any reimbursements.

3.7 Income tax

Taxation is provided for in accordance with Omani fiscal regulations.

Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on laws that have been enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised.

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

3.7 Income tax (continued)

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the profit or loss.

3.8 Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All differences are taken to the profit or loss.

3.9 Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets:

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised where:

• the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

• the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and

• Either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset

Financial liabilities:

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are only offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the Company intends to either settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted by the accounting standards or for gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions.

3.10 Fair values

The fair value of interest-bearing items is estimated based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for items with similar terms and risk characteristics.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAt 31 December 2017 (continued)

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

3.11 Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

3.12 Impairment of non-financial asset

Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

3.13 Interest bearing loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the amortisation process.

3.14 Deferred financing costs

The cost of obtaining equity bridge loan and senior facility loan is deferred and amortised over the term of the respective loans using the effective interest rate method. Deferred financing costs less accumulated amortisation are offset against the drawn amount of equity bridge loan and senior facility loan.

3.15 Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment.

Revenue comprises tariffs for power capacity, electrical energy and fuel charges. Tariffs are calculated in accordance with the PPA. Capacity charge payable to the Company for each hour during which the plant is available for power generation. Capacity charges income is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term. Energy charge revenue which compensates the Company for the fuel and variable cost of power is recognised based on the supply of generated power. The operating revenue is recognised by the Company on an accrual basis of accounting.

No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due and associated costs.

3.16 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are those expenses incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

As of reporting date, inventories consist of diesel and lube oil.

3.17 Asset retirement obligation

The provision for asset retirement obligation arose on assets constructed on land under usufruct contracts with the Ministry of Housing. A corresponding asset is recognised in property, plant and equipment. The asset retirement obligation is provided at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows. The cash flows are discounted at a current pre tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the asset retirement obligation. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognised in the statement of income as a finance cost. The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset.

3.18 Directors remuneration

The Board of Directors’ remuneration is accrued within the limits and the requirements of the Commercial Companies Law of the Sultanate of Oman.

3.19 Dividend on ordinary shares

Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as a liability and deducted from equity when they are approved by the Company’s shareholders.

3.20 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The presentation of financial statements, in conformity with IFRS, requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, incomes and expenditures. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAt 31 December 2017 (continued)

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

3.20 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued)

The following are the significant estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements:

a) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

Depreciation is charged so as to write-off the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives. The calculation of useful lives is based on management’s assessment of various factors such as the operating life, the maintenance programs, and normal wear and tear using its best estimates.

b) Allowance for doubtful debts

Provision for doubtful debts is based on management’s best estimates of recoverability of the amounts due along with the number of days for which such debts are due. As of 31 December 2017, trade receivables amounting to RO 115 thousands is past due for more than 120 days. The management is in advanced stage of discussion with OPWP towards recovery of this amount and accordingly, this balance is not impaired.

c) Impairment of inventories

Inventories are held at the lower of cost and net realisable value. When inventories become old or obsolete, an estimate is made of their net realisable value. For individually significant amounts this estimation is performed on an individual basis. Amounts which are not individually significant, but which are old or obsolete, are assessed collectively and a provision applied according to the inventory type and the degree of ageing or obsolescence, based on historical selling prices.

d) Deferred tax

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships and nature of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of finalisation of tax assessments of the Company. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax assessments and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority.

e) Asset retirement obligation

Asset retirement obligation costs are based on management’s technical assessment of the probable future costs to be incurred in respect of the decommissioning of the plant facilities.

f) Going concern

As at reporting date, the Company has a net current liability position of RO 14.30 million (2016: RO 19.50 million). The Company has commenced commercial operations on 17 June 2017 and has reported a profit after tax amounting to RO 1.97 million for the year ended 31 December 2017. The above coupled with the strong cash position of the Company and undrawn commitment on the senior facility loan has allowed the management to view the Company as a going concern and is satisfied that the Company has the resources and shareholders support to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Therefore, these financial statements continue to be prepared on the going concern basis.

The Company shall at its sole cost and expense dismantle, demobilise, safeguard and transport the assets, eliminate soil and ground water contamination, fill all excavation and return the surface to grade of the designated areas. The fair value of asset retirement obligation provision has been calculated using an expected present value technique. 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.

14 TAXATION (continued) The tax rate applicable to the Company is 15% (2016: 12%). The corporate tax rate in Oman

increased to 15% in 2017 effective from 26 February 2017. For the purpose of determining the taxable result for the year, the accounting profit has been adjusted for tax purposes. Adjustments for tax purposes include items relating to both income and expense. The adjustments are based on the current understanding of the existing tax laws, regulations and practices.

The Company has incurred a taxable loss during the year. Therefore the applicable tax rate is nil. The average tax rate cannot be determined in view of the tax loss.

As of 31 December 2017, none of the Company’s tax assessments have been completed by the Omani taxation authorities.

15 COMMITMENTS (i) Capital commitments

During 2014, the Company had entered into an agreement with Wartsila Muscat LLC towards engineering, procurement and construction amounting to RO 68.35 million (USD 177.54 million). As at 31 December 2017, commitments to Wartsila Muscat LLC amounted to RO 10.26 million (USD 26.63 million).

The Company has issued a performance bond to OPWP in accordance with the PPA, which amounted to RO 5 million as of reporting date.

(ii) Operating leases

The Company has entered into a lease agreement on 9 February 2015 with the Government of the Sultanate of Oman, represented by the Ministry of Housing in respect of the land used for project site and temporary areas. The lease agreement for land used for project site is for an initial term of 15 years, renewable for further periods. At 31 December 2017, the Company had lease commitments of RO 0.12 million as follows:

2017 2016

RO ‘000 RO ‘000

Due within one year 10 10

Due after one year but within five years 41 41

Due after five years 71 81

122 132

(iii) Other commitments

17 RISK MANAGEMENT

Currency risk

The Company’s majority of foreign currency transactions are denominated in US Dollar. As the Rial Omani is pegged to the US Dollar the transactions are not expected to have any significant currency risk.

Capital management

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to members, return capital to members, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt. During 2017, the shareholders of the Company authorised the conversion of RO 6.54 million payable by the Company to the shareholders, into share capital of the Company.

Liquidity risk

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will 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. Further, the Company maintains sufficient bank balances and approved bank credit limits to meet its obligations as they fall due for payment.

2. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

2.1 New and revised IFRSs applied with no material effect on the financial statements

The following new and revised IFRSs, which became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, have been adopted in these financial statements.

The Company applies, for the first time, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as revised in July 2014) and IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers ) and the related consequential amendments to other IFRS Standards that are effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 January 2018. The impact of the initial application of these standards is disclosed as below:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

The Company has adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments effective from 1 January 2018. This standard replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The Company has not restated comparative information for 2017 as permitted by the transitional provisions of the standard. Therefore, the information presented for 2017 does not reflect the requirements of IFRS 9. The key changes to the Company’s accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 are summarised below:

Impact of initial application of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

In the current year, the Company has applied IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as revised in July 2014) and the related consequential amendments to other IFRS Standards that are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2018. Transition provisions of IFRS 9 allow an entity not to restate comparatives.

Additionally, the Company adopted consequential amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments Disclosures that were applied to the disclosures about 2018 and to the comparative period.

IFRS 9 introduced new requirements for:

The classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, Impairment of financial assets

Details of these new requirements as well as their impact on the Company’s financial statements are described below.

Business model assessment

The business model reflects how the Company manages the assets in order to generate cash flows, whether the Company’s objective is solely to collect contractual cash flows from the assets or is it to collect both the contractual cash flows and cash flows arising from the sale of the assets. If neither of these are applicable, then the financial assets are classified as other business model. Factors considered by the Company in determining the business model for a group of assets includes the past experience on how the cash flows for the asset were collected, how the asset’s performance was evaluated by the key management personnel, how risks are assessed and managed and how managers are compensated.

2. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) (continued)

2.1 New and revised IFRSs applied with no material effect on the financial statements (continued)

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (continued)

Contractual cash flows comprise of solely payment of principal and interest

Where the Company has a business model to collect contractual cash flows, the Company assesses whether the financial instrument cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI). ‘Principal’ for the purpose of this test is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and may change over the life of the financial asset. Interest is defined as consideration for time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal and for other basic lending risks and costs as well as a profit margin.

In making this assessment, the Company considers whether the contractual cash flows are consistent with the basic lending agreement which means the interest paid only includes the consideration for time value of money and credit risk. Financial instruments whose cash flows characteristics include elements other than time value of money and credit risk do not pass the test and are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company classifies its financial assets upon initial recognition into the financial assets carried at amortised cost. The accounting policy has been disclosed in note 3 to these financial statements.

The Company has applied IFRS 9 in accordance with the transition provisions set out in IFRS 9.

(a) Classification and measurement of financial assets

The date of initial application (i.e. the date on which the Company has assessed its existing financial assets and financial liabilities in terms of the requirements of IFRS 9) is 1 January 2018. Accordingly, the Company has applied the requirements of IFRS 9 to instruments that have not been derecognised as at 1 January 2018 and has not applied the requirements to instruments that have already been derecognised as at 1 January 2018.

All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of IFRS 9 are required to be measured subsequently at amortised cost or fair value on the basis of the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.

In the current year, the Company has not designated any debt investments that meet the amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria as measured at FVTPL.

The directors of the Company reviewed and assessed the Company’s existing financial assets as at 1 January 2018 based on the facts and circumstances that existed at that date and concluded that the initial application of IFRS 9 has no material impact on the Company’s financial assets as regards their classification and measurement. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity and loans and receivables under IAS 39 that were measured at amortised cost continue to be measured at amortised cost under IFRS 9 as they are held within a business model to collect contractual cash flows and these cash flows consist solely of payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

2. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) (continued)

2.1 New and revised IFRSs applied with no material effect on the financial statements (continued)

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (continued)

(b) Impairment of financial assets

In relation to the impairment of financial assets, IFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under IAS 39. The expected credit loss model requires the Company to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial assets. In other words, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

Specifically, IFRS 9 requires the Company to recognise a loss allowance for expected credit losses on:

(1) Trade and other receivables and

(2) Bank balances

In particular, IFRS 9 requires the Company to measure the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, or if the financial instrument is a purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset. However, if the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition (except for a purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset), the Company is required to measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-months ECL. IFRS 9 also provides a simplified approach for measuring the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime ECL for trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables in certain circumstances.

As permitted by transitional provisions of IFRS 9, the Company elected not to restate the comparative figures. All adjustments to carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities at the date of transitions were recognised in opening retained earnings and other reserves of the current period.

Because the Company has elected not to restate comparatives, for the purpose of assessing whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition of financial instruments that remain recognised on the date of initial application of IFRS 9 (i.e. 1 January 2018), the directors have compared the credit risk of the respective financial instruments on the date of their initial recognition to their credit risk as at 1 January 2018.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (continued)

The result of the assessment is as follows:

Items existing as at 1 January 2018 that are subject to the impairment provisions of IFRS 9

Credit risk attributes at 1 January 2018

Cumulative additional loss allowance recognised

Trade and other receivables

The Company applies the simplified approach and recognises lifetime ECL for these assets.

These includes receivables from OPWP and EPC contractor. The Company has determined that the application of IFRS 9’s impairment requirements has resulted in no material impact on the opening balances as of 1 January 2018.

Cash and bank balances All bank balances are assessed to have low credit risk at each reporting date as they are held with reputable international banking institutions.

The consequential amendments to IFRS 7 have also resulted in more extensive disclosures about the Company’s exposure to credit risk in the financial statements.

(c) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

The application of IFRS 9 has had no impact on the classification and measurement of the Company’s financial liabilities.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’, has replaced IAS 18 which covers contracts for goods and services and IAS 11 which covers construction contracts. The new standard provides enhanced detail and a five-step revenue recognition approach to reflect the transfer of goods and services to customers. The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognises revenue related to the transfer of promised goods or services when control of the goods or services passes to customers. The amount of revenue recognised should reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This differs from the principle under the current revenue standard that requires an assessment of when risks and rewards of goods and services are transferred rather than control of those goods or services.

The standard permits a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. Under this approach entities will recognise transitional adjustments in retained earnings on the date of initial application, i.e. without restating the comparative year. They will only need to apply the new rules to contracts that are not completed as of the date of initial application. The mandatory application date for IFRS 15 is 1 January 2018. The adoption of IFRS 15 has not resulted in a material impact on the opening balance as of 1 January 2018.

Directors anticipates that IFRS 16 will be adopted in the Company’s financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 January 2019.

IFRS 16 Leases

General impact of application of IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 provides a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements for both lessors and lessees. IFRS 16 will supersede the current lease guidance including IAS 17 Leases and the related Interpretations when it becomes effective for accounting periods beginning on or after1 January 2019. The date of initial application of IFRS 16 for the Company will be 1 January 2019.

The Company has chosen the full retrospective application of IFRS 16 in accordance with IFRS 16:C5(a). Consequently, the Company will restate the comparative information.

In contrast to lessee accounting, IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17.

IFRS 16 Leases (continued)

Impact of the new definition of a lease

The Company will make use of the practical expedient available on transition to IFRS 16 not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease. Accordingly, the definition of a lease in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 will continue to apply to those leases entered or modified before 1 January 2019.

The change in definition of a lease mainly relates to the concept of control. IFRS 16 distinguishes between leases and service contracts on the basis of whether the use of an identified asset is controlled by the customer. Control is considered to exist if the customer has:

• The right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an identified asset; and

• The right to direct the use of that asset.

The Company will apply the definition of a lease and related guidance set out in IFRS 16 to all lease contracts entered into or modified on or after 1 January 2019 (whether it is a lessor or a lessee in the lease contract). In preparation for the first-time application of IFRS 16, the Company has carried out an implementation project. The project has shown that the new definition in IFRS 16 will not change significantly the scope of contracts that meet the definition of a lease for the Company.

Impact on Lessee Accounting

Operating leases

IFRS 16 will change how the Company accounts for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, which were off-balance sheet.

On initial application of IFRS 16, for all leases (except as noted below), the Company will:

a) Recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position, initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments;

b) Recognise depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities in the consolidated statement of profit or loss;

c) Separate the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion (presented within financing activities) and interest (presented within operating activities) in the consolidated cash flow statement.

IFRS 16 Leases (continued)

Impact on Lessee Accounting (continued)

Operating leases (continued)

Lease incentives (e.g. rent-free period) will be recognised as part of the measurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities whereas under IAS 17 they resulted in the recognition of a lease liability incentive, amortised as a reduction of rental expenses on a straight-line basis.

Under IFRS 16, right-of-use assets will be tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. This will replace the previous requirement to recognise a provision for onerous lease contracts.

For short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and office furniture), the Company will opt to recognise a lease expense on a straight-line basis as permitted by IFRS 16.

As at 31 December 2018, the Company has non-cancellable operating lease commitments towards Ministry of Housing. A preliminary assessment indicates this arrangements relate to leases other than short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, and hence the Company will recognise a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability in respect of all this lease. The impact on profit or loss is to decrease other expenses, to increase depreciation and to increase interest expense.

Under IAS 17, all lease payments on operating leases are presented as part of cash flows from operating activities. The impact of the changes under IFRS 16 would be to reduce the cash generated by operating activities and to increase net cash used in financing activities by the same amount.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB and the Commercial Companies Law of 1974 of the Sultanate of Oman, as amended.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements have been presented in Rial Omani (“RO”) which is also the functional currency of the Company.

A summary of significant accounting policies, which are consistent with those used in the previous year except as those set out in note 2, are set out below.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified impairment loss.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour and 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.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Plant and machinery 40 years

Computer and office equipment 3 years

Furniture and fixtures 3 years

Motor vehicles 3 years

Capital spares shall be recognised in the carrying amount of the affected item of property, plant and equipment when it is put in use. The carrying amount of the replaced item is derecognised. When it is not practical to determine the carrying amount of the replaced part, the cost of the capital spares may be used as an indication of what the cost of the replaced part was at the time it was acquired.

Expenditure incurred to replace a component of an item of property, plant and equipment that is capitalised if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably and the carrying amount of the component that is replaced is written off. Other subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases future economic benefits of the related item of property, plant and equipment. All other expenditure is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as the expense is incurred.

3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Property, plant and equipment (continued)

Interest costs on borrowings to finance the construction of qualifying assets are capitalised, during the year that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. All other finance costs are charged to the statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method.

When each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied and the carrying amounts of the replaced components are written off to the profit or loss.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period the asset is derecognised.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate, at each financial year end.

Capital work-in-progress

Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost, less impairment, if any. When commissioned, capital work-in-progress is transferred to the appropriate property, plant and equipment category and depreciated in accordance with the Company’s policy.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets other than inventories are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indications exist then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s 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. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which they are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Amounts receivable under operating leases, as lessor, are recognised as lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which use benefit derived from the leased asset is diminished. In accordance with IFRS, revenue stemming from (substantial) services in connection with the leased asset is not considered as lease revenue and is accounted for separately.

IFRIC 4 deals with the identification of services and take-or-pay sales or purchasing contracts that do not take the legal form of a lease but convey the rights to customers/suppliers to use an asset or a group of assets in return for a payment or a series of fixed payments. Contracts meeting these criteria should be identified as either operating leases or finance leases. This interpretation is applicable to the Company’s PPA.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Company’s statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Classification of financial assets

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost:

• the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 31 December 2018 (continued)

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):

• the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets; and

• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Company’s financial assets include trade and other receivable and cash at bank. These financial assets qualify for and are classified as debt instruments measured at amortised cost.

By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The Company does not have any FVTOCI and FVTPL financial assets.

Amortised cost and effective interest rate method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period.

For financial instruments other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets (i.e. assets that are credit-impaired on initial recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses, through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition. For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, a credit-adjusted effective interest rate is calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows, including expected credit losses, to the amortised cost of the debt instrument on initial recognition.

The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortised cost and at FVTOCI. For financial instruments other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired (see below). For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If, in subsequent reporting periods, the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 31 December 2018 (continued)

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Company recognises interest income by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset from initial recognition. The calculation does not revert to the gross basis even if the credit risk of the financial asset subsequently improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired.

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the “finance income - interest income” line item.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on investments in debt instruments that are measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI and trade receivables. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.

The Company always recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.

For all other financial instruments, the Company recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition instead of on evidence of a financial asset being credit-impaired at the reporting date.

Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

(i) Significant increase in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Company considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. Forward-looking information considered includes the future prospects of the industries in which the Company’s debtors operate, obtained from economic expert reports, financial analysts, governmental bodies, relevant think-tanks and other similar organisations, as well as consideration of various external sources of actual and forecast economic information that relate to the Company’s core operations.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition:

• an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument’s external (if available) or internal credit rating;

• significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk for a particular financial instrument, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor, or the length of time or the extent to which the fair value of a financial asset has been less than its amortised cost;

• existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations;

• an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor;

• significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same debtor;

• an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations.

Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Company presumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the Company has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.

Despite the aforegoing, the Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. A financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk if:

(1) The financial instrument has a low risk of default,

(2) The borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term, and

(3) Adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations.

The Company considers a financial asset to have low credit risk when the asset has external credit rating of ‘investment grade’ in accordance with the globally understood definition or if an external rating is not available, the asset has an internal rating of ‘performing’. Performing means that the counterparty has a strong financial position and there is no past due amounts.

For financial guarantee contracts, the date that the Company becomes a party to the irrevocable commitment is considered to be the date of initial recognition for the purposes of assessing the financial instrument for impairment. In assessing whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition of a financial guarantee contracts, the Company considers the changes in the risk that the specified debtor will default on the contract.

The Company regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.

Financial instruments (continued)

(ii) Definition of default

The Company considers the following as constituting an event of default for internal credit risk management purposes as historical experience indicates that receivables that meet either of the following criteria are generally not recoverable:

• when there is a breach of financial covenants by the counterparty; or

• information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Company, in full (without taking into account any collateral held by the Company).

Irrespective of the above analysis, the Company considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Company has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.

(iii) Credit-impaired financial assets

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:

(a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;

(b) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event (see (ii) above);

(c) the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;

(d) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or

(e) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

(iii) Write-off

The Company writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or in the case of trade receivables, when the amounts are over two years past due, whichever occurs sooner. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Company’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss.

Financial instruments (continued)

(iv) Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses

The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information as described above. As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting date; for financial guarantee contracts, the exposure includes the amount drawn down as at the reporting date, together with any additional amounts expected to be drawn down in the future by default date determined based on historical trend, the Company’s understanding of the specific future financing needs of the debtors, and other relevant forward-looking information.

For financial assets, the expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For a financial guarantee contract, as the Company is required to make payments only in the event of a default by the debtor in accordance with the terms of the instrument that is guaranteed, the expected loss allowance is the expected payments to reimburse the holder for a credit loss that it incurs less any amounts that the Company expects to receive from the holder, the debtor or any other party.

If the Company has measured the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to lifetime ECL in the previous reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that the conditions for lifetime ECL are no longer met, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month ECL at the current reporting date, except for assets for which simplified approach was used.

The Company recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve, and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of financial position.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

Page 274: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

F-272

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 31 December 2018 (continued)

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. In addition, on derecognition of an investment in a debt instrument classified as at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. In contrast, on derecognition of an investment in equity instrument which the Company has elected on initial recognition to measure at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred to retained earnings.

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

However, financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies, and financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company, are measured in accordance with the specific accounting policies set out below.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held for trading or (iii) it is designated as at FVTPL. The Company does not have financial liabilities at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortised cost

Financial liabilities that are not (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held-for-trading, or (iii) designated as at FVTPL, are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.

Foreign exchange gains and losses

For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortised cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortised cost of the instruments. These foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in the ‘other gains and losses’ line item in profit or loss (note 11) for financial liabilities that are not part of a designated hedging relationship. For those which are designated as a hedging instrument for a hedge of foreign currency risk foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity.

The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. For financial liabilities that are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognised in profit or loss for financial liabilities that are not part of a designated hedging relationship.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

When the Company exchanges with the existing lender one debt instrument into another one with the substantially different terms, such exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, the Company accounts for substantial modification of terms of an existing liability or part of it as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new liability. It is assumed that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective rate is at least 10 per cent different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. If the modification is not substantial, the difference between: (1) the carrying amount of the liability before the modification; and (2) the present value of the cash flows after modification should be recognised in profit or loss as the modification gain or loss within other gains and losses.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position if, and only if:

• there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts; and

• there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, in which case they are recognised at fair value. The Company holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Trade and other payables

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

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the costs to settle the obligation are both probable and able to be reliably measured.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding 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. Where some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursements.

End of service benefits

End of service benefits for Omani employees are contributed in accordance with the terms of the Social Security Law of 1991.

Provision for end of service indemnity for non-Omani employees’ is made in accordance with the Oman labour law as amended and is based on current remuneration and cumulative years of service at the reporting date.

Income tax

Taxation is provided for in accordance with Omani fiscal regulations.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on laws that have been enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different taxable entities, but they intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

Income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the profit or loss.

Delay liquidated damages

Delay liquidated damages paid to Oman Power and Water Procurement Company SAOC are recognised as other receivables. Delay liquidated damages receivable are recognized when they are determined to be virtually certain of recovery.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and at bank. Cash and cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and have maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition.

Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All differences are taken to the profit or loss.

Fair values

The fair value of interest-bearing items is estimated based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for items with similar terms and risk characteristics.

Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Interest bearing loans and borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Deferred financing costs

The cost of obtaining equity bridge loan and senior facility loan is deferred and amortised over the term of the respective loans using the effective interest rate method. Deferred financing costs less accumulated amortisation are offset against the drawn amount of equity bridge loan and senior facility loan.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenue

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer.

Revenue comprises tariffs for power capacity, electrical energy and fuel charges. Tariffs are calculated in accordance with the PPA.

Lease revenue

The PPA with OPWP is considered as a lease within the context of IFRIC 4 and has been classified as an operating lease under IAS 17. Under the PPA, the Company is entitled to the Capacity charges for each hour during which the plant is available for power generation. Capacity charge is treated as lease revenue under operating lease and is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Other revenue from the contracts with the customers

Revenue is measured based on the terms specified in the contract with a customer. The Company recognizes Electrical energy and fuel charges revenue when it transfers the control of a product or service to a customer i.e. when electricity is delivered and the customer has accepted the deliveries and the control has been transferred to the customer. Energy charge and fuel charge is determined based on the fuel and variable cost of power.

No revenue is recognised if it is not probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to customers. In evaluating whether collectability of an amount of consideration is probable, the Company considers only the customers’ ability and intention to pay that amount of consideration when it is due.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are those expenses incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. As of reporting date, inventories consist of spares, diesel and lube oil.

Asset retirement obligation

The provision for asset retirement obligation is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of assets constructed on land under usufruct contracts with the Ministry of Housing, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of provision can be measured reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of removing the facilities and restoring the affected areas. A corresponding asset is recognised as part of plant and machinery in property, plant and equipment and depreciated accordingly.

F-278

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 31 December 2018 (continued)

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Asset retirement obligation (continued)

The provision for asset retirement obligation is a best estimate of the present value of expected costs required to settle the obligation, at the reporting date based on the current requirements of the Usufruct agreement, using estimated cash flows. The cash flows are discounted at a current pre tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the asset retirement obligation. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as a finance cost.

The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are dealt with prospectively and reflected as an adjustment to the provision and corresponding decommissioning asset recorded as property, plant and equipment.

If there is an indication that the new carrying amount of the asset is not fully recoverable, the asset is tested for impairment and an impairment loss is recognised where necessary.

Directors’ remuneration

The Board of Directors’ remuneration is accrued within the limits and the requirements of the Commercial Companies Law of the Sultanate of Oman.

Dividend on ordinary shares

Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as a liability and deducted from equity when they are approved by the Company’s shareholders.

Earnings and net assets per share

The Company presents earnings per share (EPS) and net assets per share for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Net assets per share is calculated by dividing the net assets attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Net assets for the purpose is defined as total equity.

Segmental reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Project Director who manages the Company on a day-to-day basis, as per the directives given by the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.

4. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The presentation of financial statements, in conformity with IFRS, requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, incomes and expenditures. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements

Management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Lease classification

The Company has entered into the Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with Oman Power and Water Procurement Company SAOC (“OPWP”) to generate electricity and make available the power capacity from its Plant.

Management believes that IFRIC 12 is not applicable to the arrangement as the residual interest is borne by the Company and not OPWP. The estimated useful life of the power plant of 40 years takes into account the Company’s right to extend the land lease under a Usufruct Agreement for an additional term of 25 years. Furthermore, the residual value of the assets will have substantial value at the conclusion of the PPA and the Company will be able to continue to generate revenue through supply of power taking into account the government’s future plans to deregulate the power sector in Oman.

Management considers the requirements of IFRIC 4, “Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease”, which sets out guidelines to determine when an arrangement might contain a lease. The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

Once a determination is reached that an arrangement contains a lease, the lease arrangement is classified as either financing or operating according to the principles in IAS 17, Leases. A lease that conveys the majority of the risks and rewards of operation is a finance lease. A lease other than a finance lease is an operating lease.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 31 December 2018 (continued)

4. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)

Lease classification

Based on management’s evaluation, the PPA with OPWP is considered as a lease within the context of IFRIC 4 and has been classified as an operating lease under IAS 17 since significant risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the plant lies with the Company and not with OPWP.

The primary basis for this conclusion is that the PPA is for a term of 15 years while the economic life of the power plant is estimated to be 40 years. The present value of minimum lease payments under the PPA do not substantially recover the fair value of the plant at the inception of the lease.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the significant estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements:

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

Depreciation is charged so as to write-off the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives. The calculation of useful lives is based on management’s assessment of various factors such as the operating life, the maintenance programs, and normal wear and tear using its best estimates.

Deferred tax

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships and nature of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of finalisation of tax assessments of the Company. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax assessments and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority.

Asset retirement obligation

Upon expiry of their respective Usufruct and Power Purchase agreements, the Company will have an obligation to remove the facilities and restore the affected area. The estimated cost, discount rate and risk rate used in the provision for decommissioning costs calculation is based on management’s best estimates.

5. Property, plant and equipment (continued)

The Company had achieved the commercial operation start date on 17 June 2017.

The Company’s power plant is constructed on land leased from Ministry of Housing. The future minimum lease commitments in relation to these are disclosed in note 20.

The depreciation charge has been allocated in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as follows:

2018 2017

RO 000 RO ‘000

Restated

Operating expenses (note 15) 1,791 1,588

General and administrative expenses (note 16) 18 5

1,809 1,593

Borrowing costs amounting to RO 3.75 million incurred during the plant construction period is capitalised.

The Company carried out the review of the estimated useful lives of its property, plant and equipment and noted that the useful life of plant and machinery were longer than the estimated useful lives used for depreciation purposes. As a result, effective 1 January 2018, the Company changed its estimates of the useful lives of its plant and machinery to better reflect the estimated periods during which these assets will remain in service. The estimated useful lives of the plant and machinery that was previously 30 years was increased to 40 years. In accordance with the requirements of IAS 8, the change in estimate has been recognised prospectively. The effect of this change in estimate was to reduce 2018 depreciation expense by RO 0.369 million and, therefore, increase in net profit for the year 2018 by RO 0.313 million.

The Company has one customer (OPWP) which accounts for the trade receivables balance as at 31 December 2018. The ageing of trade receivables at the reporting date is disclosed in note 21.

The average credit period on sales of goods is 30 days. No interest is charged on outstanding trade receivables.

The Company always measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECL using the simplified approach. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date. The Company has not ECL against because OPWP is a government based entity historical experience has indicated that these receivables are generally recoverable.

There has been no change in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the current reporting period.

The Company writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or when the trade receivables are over two years past due, whichever occurs earlier. None of the trade receivables that have been written off is subject to enforcement activities.

The Company achieved Commercial Operation Date (“COD”) on 17 July 2017 against the originally scheduled date of 18 December 2016 as stated in the Power Purchase Agreement (“the PPA”). In the year 2017, Oman Power and Water Procurement Company SAOC (“OPWP”) claimed liquidated damages (“LDs”) of RO 4.525 million from the Company and deducted them from invoices submitted to it by the Company. In turn the Company has taken the following steps:

• The Company has sought contractual relief from OPWP for liquidated damages being a Buyer Risk Event (“BRE”) under the PPA.

• The Company has imposed liquidated damages and claimed revenue losses from the EPC contractor in relation to the above delays.

In respect of BRE, OPWP has accepted 37 days as being a Buyer Risk Event due to non-readiness of the Rural Area Electricity Company SAOC (“RAECO”) transmission grid and allowed the relief for payment of LDs during this year and returned RO 0.925 million of LDs to the Company.

In relation to the LDs imposed on the EPC contractor, the Company withheld the milestone payment of 15% of the EPC Contract price amounting to RO 10.253 million (equivalent to US$ 26.6 million). This amount is equivalent to the maximum cap of delay LDs under the EPC Contract the Company is entitled to.

Based on above, management of the Company and external legal counsel believe that the final settlement of its disputes with EPC Contractor would not result in any outflow from the Company. Accordingly, management recorded RO 4.525 million in other receivables comprising of RO 0.925 million on account of BRE and RO 3.6 million on account of LDs imposed on EPC contractor as of 31 December 2017.

In the current year, the EPC contractor and the Company entered into the settlement of deed to resolve all matters relating to the LDs and claims levied by the Company and the claims levied by the EPC Contractor in the prior year. As per the settlement deed, the EPC contractor has accepted liquidated damages of RO 3.6 million and also agreed to settle an additional amount of RO 1.5 million in respect of the Company’s claims relating to losses and other expenditure incurred.

Balances with banks are assessed to have low credit risk of default since these banks are highly regulated by the central banks of the respective countries. Accordingly, the management of the Company estimates the loss allowance on balances with banks at the end of the reporting period at an amount equal to 12 month ECL. None of the balances with banks at the end of the reporting period are past due and taking into account the historical default experience and the current credit ratings of the bank, the management of the Company have assessed that there is no impairment, and hence have not recorded any loss allowances on these balances.

Bank balances includes the restricted funds of RO Nil (2017: RO 3.47 million) which represents the amount to be maintained under the DSRA as disclosed in noted 20. Accordingly, unrestricted cash and cash equivalent amounted to RO 7.056 million (2017: RO 1.578 million).

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company. All shares rank equally with regard to the Company’s residual assets.

10. Statutory reserve

As per the Commercial Companies Law of the Sultanate of Oman, 10% of the profit for the year is required to be transferred to a statutory reserve until the reserve is equal to one third of the issued share capital. Accordingly, during the year 2018, RO 372 thousands [2017: 70 thousands (restated)] of Company’s profit was transferred to the legal reserve. The reserve is not available for distribution.

13. Provision for asset retirement obligation Under the Usufruct Agreement, the Company has an obligation to remove the plant and restore the

land. The provision for asset retirement obligation has been calculated using an expected present value technique. 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. In estimating the costs an inflation rate is applied until the retirement obligations expire in order to determine the value of the future obligation and a discount rate is applied to determine the present value of the obligation. The costs to be incurred in the future may differ from the estimates in terms of their nature and timing of payment. The provisions may be subsequently adjusted in line with changes in the above-mentioned inputs.

During the year, the Company appointed an independent external firm with relevant expertise to reassess the estimated asset retirement obligation provision. Based on the expert’s report, the provision was reduced by RO 3.631 million and a corresponding adjustment was made in the de-commissioning asset as at 31 December 2018.

Terms of these transactions are approved by the Company’s management. Government of Sultanate of Oman (the Government), indirectly owns 70% of the Company shares. The Company has applied the exemptions in IAS 24 related to transaction with the Government and other entities controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by the Government. In this respect, the Company has disclosed certain information, to meet the disclosure requirements of IAS 24, in this note.

Balances with related parties included in the statement of financial position are as follows:

Loan from shareholders

Loan from shareholders includes amounts payable to Oman Oil Company SAOC (69.9%) and its subsidiary, Oman Energy Trading Company Limited (0.1%) amounting to RO 2.139 million (2017: RO 4.577 million) and LG International Corp. amounting to RO 0.917 million (2017: RO 1.962 million) as at the reporting date. This also includes accrued interest of RO 0.01 million.

In the year 2016, the Company received advances from the shareholders amounting to RO 13.08 million, which was utilised to repay the equity bridge loan obtained from commercial bank.

20. Commitments (continued)

Other commitments

Under the terms of the debt financing agreement, the Company is required to maintain a debt service reserve amount (DSRA) equal to its next repayment instalment for the half-year till the final instalment of the term loan. Thus, at 31 December 2018, the bank balances includes DSRA of RO 3.47 million (2017: RO 3.47 million).

21. Financial risk management

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk. However, the Company’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance.

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.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of 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.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and prices 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.

Price risk

The permitted tariff (prices) for the generation of electricity are determined in accordance with the Power Purchase Agreement with OPWP. Hence, the Company is not subject to significant price risk.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognised assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures primarily with respect to the US Dollar. The Rial Omani is pegged to the US Dollar. Since most of the Company’s foreign currency transactions are in US Dollars or other currencies linked to the US Dollar management believes that exchange rate fluctuations would have an insignificant impact on the Company’s pre-tax profit.

Market risk (continued)

Interest rate risk

The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk on its loan from shareholders and senior facility loan as these carry fixed interest rate. At the reporting date the interest rate risk profile of the Company’s interest bearing financial instruments were:

2018 2017

RO ‘000 RO ‘000

Senior facility loan 69,902 63,062

Loan from shareholders 3,067 6,539

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments

The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rate at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

Credit risk

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.

Under the terms of the PPA, the Company’s sales are billed wholly to OPWP which is indirectly owned wholly by the Government. Therefore, the Company’s credit risk on receivables from OPWP is limited.

The age of trade and other receivables and related impairment loss at the reporting date is:

21. Financial risk management (continued)

Credit risk (continued)

For trade receivables, the Company has applied the simplified approach in IFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance at lifetime ECL. The Company determines the expected credit losses on these items by using a provision matrix, estimated based on historical credit loss experience based on the past due status of the debtors, adjusted as appropriate to reflect current conditions and estimates of future economic conditions. Management believe that no provision is required on the balances past due but not impaired as these amounts have been agreed / accepted by OPWP and EPC contactor as disclosed in note 6.

Bank balances

The Company limits its credit risk with regard to bank balance deposits by only dealing with reputable banks and financial institutions with strong credit ratings. The Company’s bank accounts are placed with reputed financial institutions with a minimum credit rating of P-2 as per the recently ratings issued by Moody’s Investors Service.

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will 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. Further, the Company maintains sufficient bank balances.

26. Operating lease arrangement where the Company acts as a lessor

As disclosed in note 1 of these financial statements, the Company has entered into a PPA with OPWP for a substantial element of the production of power with 100% ‘take-or-pay’ arrangement. As disclosed in note 4, management has determined that the PPA with OPWP is covered under International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC 4) and such arrangement in substance represents an operating lease under IAS-17 Leases.

27. Prior period adjustment

The corresponding figures for the year 2017 have been restated in these financial statements to rectify the following in the accounting records of previous year:

The liquidated damages claim receivable of RO 4.5 million in the year 2017 was capitalized in property, plant and equipment. As a result, property, plant and equipment for the year 2017 had increased by RO 4.5 million with a corresponding decrease in other receivable by the same amount. Further, depreciation for the year 2017 had increased by RO 75 thousands. Accordingly, retained earnings and net profit for the year 2017 had been reduced by RO 75 thousands.

Deferred tax asset of RO 0.9 million had been recognized in the year 2017 in respect of unused tax losses despite non-availability of future taxable profits. As a result, deferred tax expense and deferred tax liability for the year 2017 were decreased by RO 0.9 million. Accordingly, retained earnings and net profit for the year 2017 had been increased by RO 0.9 million.

Invoice disputes notes amounting to RO 1.1 million were received in 2017 from OPWP and had not been recorded in the same year due to management’s expectation of possible recovery. The resolution of such disputes was notified by OPWP in the year 2018. As a result, revenue and other receivable for the year 2017 has increased by RO 1.1 million. Accordingly, retained earnings and net profit for the year 2017 were increased by RO 1.1 million.

Tax depreciation for the year 2017 was not proportionally reduced to period from PCOD of 17 June 2017 to 31 December 2017. As a result, deferred tax expense and deferred tax liability had been increased by RO 0.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2017 and retained earnings and net profit for the year 2017 had been decreased by RO 0.7 million.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the period ended 30 June 2019 (continued)

2. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

2.1 New and revised IFRSs applied with no material effect on the financial statements

The following new and revised IFRSs, which became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, have been adopted in these financial statements.

IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”)

The Company applied, for the first time, IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”). IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 Leases (“IAS 17”), IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease (“IFRIC 4”), SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

Impact on Lessee Accounting

IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to the lessee accounting and it changes how the Company accounts for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, which were off-balance-sheet. IFRS 16 stipulates that all leases and the associated contractual rights and obligations should generally be recognize in the Company’s financial Position, unless the term is 12 months or less or the lease for low value asset. Thus, the classification required under IAS 17 into operating or finance leases is eliminated for the lessees.

For each lease, the lessee recognizes a liability for the lease obligations incurred in the future. Correspondingly, a right to use the leased asset is capitalized, which is generally equivalent to the present value of the future lease payments plus directly attributable costs and which is amortized over the useful life. Also, lessee recognises depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities in the statement of profit or loss.

Applying IFRS 16 separates the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion (presented within financing activities) and interest (presented within operating activities) in the statement of profit or loss.

Under IFRS 16, right-of-use assets are tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. This replaces the previous requirement to recognise a provision for onerous lease contracts.

For short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets, the Company will opt to recognise a lease expense on a straight-line basis as permitted by IFRS 16.

The Company has made use of the practical expedient available on transition to IFRS 16 not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease. Accordingly, the definition of a lease in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 will continue to be applied to those leases entered or modified before 1 January 2019.

Details of these new requirements are described below and in note 3. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 on the Company’s financial statements as a lessee are described below.

IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) (continued)

Impact on Lessee Accounting (continued)

The Company has opted for the modified retrospective application permitted by IFRS 16 upon adoption of the new standard. During the first time application of IFRS 16 to operating leases, the right to use the leased assets was generally measured at the amount of lease liability, using the interest rate at the time of first time application. IFRS 16 transition disclosures also requires the Company to present the reconciliation. The off-balance sheet lease obligations as of 31 December 2018 are reconciled as follows to the recognized the lease liabilities as of 1 January 2019.

The Company has elected to apply the transition approach as set out in para C5(b) of IFRS 16 whereby the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application in accordance with paragraphs C7-C13 of IFRS 16. The detailed methodology adopted by the Company for transition of operating leases where Company is a lessee is highlighted below:

Lease liability accounting treatment upon transition:

The lease liability measurement at the date of initial application is done in accordance with para C8 (a) which requires the Company to recognize a lease liability at the date of initial application for leases previously classified as an operating lease applying IAS 17. The Company has measured that lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.

Right of use asset accounting treatment upon transition:

The right of use assets have been measured by the Company in accordance with para C8(b)(ii) of IFRS 16 which requires the Company to recognize the right of use asset at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the statement of financial position immediately before the date of initial application.

2.3 New and revised IFRSs applied with material effect on the financial statements (continued)

IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) (continued)

Impact on Lessee Accounting (continued)

The impact of adoption of IFRS 16 Leases on the Company financial statements is described below:

• The right-of-use asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located (if any), less any lease incentives received.

• The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the lease term using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits.

• The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. Lease terms is 25 years. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurement of the lease liability.

Practical expedient

In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Company has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

• the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 January 2019 as short-term leases, and

• the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

The change in accounting policy affected the following items in the financial statements on 1 January 2019 and the Company has:

• Recognised right of use asset and lease liability initially measured at the present value of future lease payments amounting to RO 114 thousands.

• Recognised depreciation of right of use assets and interest on lease liabilities amounting to RO 3 thousands and RO 4 thousands respectively.

• Presented depreciation on right-of-use-assets and interest on lease liability as adjustment to cash flow from operating activity.

There were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application.

Impact on Lessor Accounting

In contrast to lessee accounting, the requirements for lessor accounting have remained largely unchanged. Under IFRS 16, a lessor continues to classify leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. However, IFRS 16 has changed and expanded the disclosures required.

IFRIC 4 dealt with the identification of services and take-or-pay sales or purchasing contracts that do not take the legal form of a lease but convey the rights to customers/suppliers to use an asset or a group of assets in return for a payment or a series of fixed payments. Contracts meeting these criteria should be identified as either operating leases or finance leases. This interpretation was applicable to the Company’s PPA. As a practical expedient, IFRS 16 does not require the Company to reassess the contract that has already been assessed as a lease under IFRIC 4, i.e. whether or not a contract existing at transition is, or, contains lease.

The application of following interpretation and amendments has had no impact on the Company’s financial statements:

• Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015–2017 Cycle amending IFRS 3 Business Combinations, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 23 Borrowing costs.

• IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

• Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments relating to prepayment features with Negative Compensation

• Amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures relating to long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures

• Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits relating to plan amendment, curtailment or settlement

Other than the above, there are no other significant IFRSs and amendments that were effective for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified impairment loss.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour and 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.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Plant and machinery 40 years

Computer and office equipment 3 years

Furniture and fixtures 3 years

Motor vehicles 3 years

Capital spares shall be recognised in the carrying amount of the affected item of property, plant and equipment when it is put in use. The carrying amount of the replaced item is derecognised. When it is not practical to determine the carrying amount of the replaced part, the cost of the capital spares may be used as an indication of what the cost of the replaced part was at the time it was acquired.

Expenditure incurred to replace a component of an item of property, plant and equipment that is capitalised if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably and the carrying amount of the component that is replaced is written off. Other subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases future economic benefits of the related item of property, plant and equipment. All other expenditure is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as the expense is incurred.

Interest costs on borrowings to finance the construction of qualifying assets are capitalised, during the year that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. All other finance costs are charged to the statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method.

When each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied and the carrying amounts of the replaced components are written off to the profit or loss.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period the asset is derecognised.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate, at each financial year end.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Capital work-in-progress

Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost, less impairment, if any. When commissioned, capital work-in-progress is transferred to the appropriate property, plant and equipment category and depreciated in accordance with the Company’s policy.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets other than inventories are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indications exist then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s 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. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which they are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

Leases

Upon adoption of IFRS 16 – applicable from 1 January 2019

The Company as a lessee

The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-liñe basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.

Lease liability

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Company, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Leases (continued)

Upon adoption of IFRS 16 – applicable from 1 January 2019 (continued)

To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company:

• where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was received;

• uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate; and

• makes adjustments specific to the lease, e.g. term, country, currency and security.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:

• fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives; and

• variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date.

The lease liability is presented as a line item in the statement of financial position.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

The Company remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:

• the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.

• the lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used).

• a lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease li ability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.

The Company did not make any such adjustments during the periods presented.

Upon adoption of IFRS 16 – applicable from 1 January 2019 (continued)

Right-of-use asset

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cast of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.

The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate note line item in the property, plant and equipment. The Company applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any Identified impairment loss as described in the ‘Property, plant and equipment’ policy.

Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in the line ‘Operating expenses” in the statement of profit or loss.

As a practical expedient, IFRS 16 permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement- The Company has not used this practical expedient.

The Company as lessor

The Company has entered into a Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with Oman Power and Water Procurement Company SAOC (“OPWP”) on take or pay arrangement for the sale Electricity Generated by the Company to OPWP. PPA do not take the legal form of a lease but convey the rights to OPWP to use the Company’s power generation plant in return for a payment or a series of fixed payments. Contracts meeting these criteria are identified as either operating leases or finance leases.

Leases for which the Company is a lessor are classified as finance or operating leases. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.

When a contract includes lease and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration under the contract to each component.

Leases (continued)

Leases under IAS 17, applicable before 1 January 2019

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Amounts receivable under operating leases, as lessor, are recognised as lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which use benefit derived from the leased asset is diminished. In accordance with IFRS, revenue stemming from (substantial) services in connection with the leased asset is not considered as lease revenue and is accounted for separately.

IFRIC 4 deals with the identification of services and take-or-pay sales or purchasing contracts that do not take the legal form of a lease but convey the rights to customers/suppliers to use an asset or a group of assets in return for a payment or a series of fixed payments. Contracts meeting these criteria should be identified as either operating leases or finance leases. This interpretation is applicable to the Company’s PPA.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Company’s statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Classification of financial assets

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost:

• the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Page 322: MUSANDAM ON - Pages

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the period ended 30 June 2019 (continued)

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):

• the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets; and

• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Company’s financial assets include trade and other receivable and cash at bank. These financial assets qualify for and are classified as debt instruments measured at amortised cost.

By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The Company does not have any FVTOCI and FVTPL financial assets.

Amortised cost and effective interest rate method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period.

For financial instruments other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets (i.e. assets that are credit-impaired on initial recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses, through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition. For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, a credit-adjusted effective interest rate is calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows, including expected credit losses, to the amortised cost of the debt instrument on initial recognition.

The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortised cost and at FVTOCI. For financial instruments other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired (see below). For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If, in subsequent reporting periods, the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the period ended 30 June 2019 (continued)

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Company recognises interest income by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset from initial recognition. The calculation does not revert to the gross basis even if the credit risk of the financial asset subsequently improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired.

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the “finance income - interest income” line item.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on investments in debt instruments that are measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI and trade receivables. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.

The Company always recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.

For all other financial instruments, the Company recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition instead of on evidence of a financial asset being credit-impaired at the reporting date.

Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

(i) Significant increase in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Company considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. Forward-looking information considered includes the future prospects of the industries in which the Company’s debtors operate, obtained from economic expert reports, financial analysts, governmental bodies, relevant think-tanks and other similar organisations, as well as consideration of various external sources of actual and forecast economic information that relate to the Company’s core operations.

(i) Significant increase in credit risk (continued)

In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition:• an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument’s external (if available)

or internal credit rating;• significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk for a particular financial

instrument, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor, or the length of time or the extent to which the fair value of a financial asset has been less than its amortised cost;

• existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations;

• an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor;• significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same debtor;• an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological

environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations.

Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Company presumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the Company has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.

Despite the aforegoing, the Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. A financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk if:(1) The financial instrument has a low risk of default, (2) The borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near

term, and (3) Adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not

necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations.

The Company considers a financial asset to have low credit risk when the asset has external credit rating of ‘investment grade’ in accordance with the globally understood definition or if an external rating is not available, the asset has an internal rating of ‘performing’. Performing means that the counterparty has a strong financial position and there is no past due amounts.

For financial guarantee contracts, the date that the Company becomes a party to the irrevocable commitment is considered to be the date of initial recognition for the purposes of assessing the financial instrument for impairment. In assessing whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition of a financial guarantee contracts, the Company considers the changes in the risk that the specified debtor will default on the contract.

The Company regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.

(ii) Definition of default

The Company considers the following as constituting an event of default for internal credit risk management purposes as historical experience indicates that receivables that meet either of the following criteria are generally not recoverable:

• when there is a breach of financial covenants by the counterparty; or

• information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Company, in full (without taking into account any collateral held by the Company).

Irrespective of the above analysis, the Company considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Company has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.

(iii) Credit-impaired financial assets

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:

(a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;

(b) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event (see (ii) above);

(c) the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;

(d) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or

(e) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

(iii) Write-off

The Company writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or in the case of trade receivables, when the amounts are over two years past due, whichever occurs sooner. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Company’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss.

(iv) Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses

The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information as described above. As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting date; for financial guarantee contracts, the exposure includes the amount drawn down as at the reporting date, together with any additional amounts expected to be drawn down in the future by default date determined based on historical trend, the Company’s understanding of the specific future financing needs of the debtors, and other relevant forward-looking information.

For financial assets, the expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For a financial guarantee contract, as the Company is required to make payments only in the event of a default by the debtor in accordance with the terms of the instrument that is guaranteed, the expected loss allowance is the expected payments to reimburse the holder for a credit loss that it incurs less any amounts that the Company expects to receive from the holder, the debtor or any other party.

If the Company has measured the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to lifetime ECL in the previous reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that the conditions for lifetime ECL are no longer met, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month ECL at the current reporting date, except for assets for which simplified approach was used.

The Company recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve, and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of financial position.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

Financial instruments (continued)

Derecognition of financial assets (continued)

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. In addition, on derecognition of an investment in a debt instrument classified as at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. In contrast, on derecognition of an investment in equity instrument which the Company has elected on initial recognition to measure at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred to retained earnings.

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

However, financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies, and financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company, are measured in accordance with the specific accounting policies set out below.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held for trading or (iii) it is designated as at FVTPL. The Company does not have financial liabilities at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortised cost

Financial liabilities that are not (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held-for-trading, or (iii) designated as at FVTPL, are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

F-326

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the period ended 30 June 2019 (continued)

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial liabilities (continued)

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.

Foreign exchange gains and losses

For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortised cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortised cost of the instruments. These foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in the ‘other gains and losses’ line item in profit or loss (note 11) for financial liabilities that are not part of a designated hedging relationship. For those which are designated as a hedging instrument for a hedge of foreign currency risk foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity.

The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. For financial liabilities that are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognised in profit or loss for financial liabilities that are not part of a designated hedging relationship.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

When the Company exchanges with the existing lender one debt instrument into another one with the substantially different terms, such exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, the Company accounts for substantial modification of terms of an existing liability or part of it as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new liability. It is assumed that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective rate is at least 10 per cent different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. If the modification is not substantial, the difference between: (1) the carrying amount of the liability before the modification; and (2) the present value of the cash flows after modification should be recognised in profit or loss as the modification gain or loss within other gains and losses.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position if, and only if:

• there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts; and

• there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, in which case they are recognised at fair value. The Company holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Trade and other payables

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

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the costs to settle the obligation are both probable and able to be reliably measured.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding 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. Where some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursements.

End of service benefits

End of service benefits for Omani employees are contributed in accordance with the terms of the Social Security Law of 1991.

Provision for end of service indemnity for non-Omani employees is made in accordance with the Oman Labour Law as amended and is based on current remuneration and cumulative years of service at the reporting date.

Income tax

Taxation is provided for in accordance with Omani fiscal regulations.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on laws that have been enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different taxable entities, but they intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

Income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and at bank. Cash and cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and have maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition.

Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All differences are taken to the profit or loss.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Fair values

The fair value of interest-bearing items is estimated based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for items with similar terms and risk characteristics.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Interest bearing loans and borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Deferred financing costs

The cost of obtaining equity bridge loan and senior facility loan is deferred and amortised over the term of the respective loans using the effective interest rate method. Deferred financing costs less accumulated amortisation are offset against the drawn amount of equity bridge loan and senior facility loan.

Revenue

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue comprises tariffs for power capacity, electrical energy and fuel charges. Tariffs are calculated in accordance with the PPA.

Capacity revenue

The PPA with OPWP is considered as a lease within the context of IFRS 16 (2018: IFRIC 4) and has been classified as an operating lease under IFRS 16 (2018: IAS 17). Under the PPA, the Company is entitled to the Capacity charges for each hour during which the plant is available for power generation. Power capacity investment charge is treated as lease revenue under IFRS 16 and is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term. Fixed O&M charge is recognised based on the capacity made available in accordance with contractual terms stipulated in PPA.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the period ended 30 June 2019 (continued)

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Other revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is measured based on the terms specified in the contract with a customer. The Company recognizes electrical energy and fuel charges revenue when it transfers the control of a product or service to a customer i.e. when electricity is delivered and the customer has accepted the deliveries and the control has been transferred to the customer. Energy charge and fuel charge is determined based on the fuel and variable cost of power.

No revenue is recognised if it is not probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to customers. In evaluating whether collectability of an amount of consideration is probable, the Company considers only the customers’ ability and intention to pay that amount of consideration when it is due.

The Company has a long term agreement with OPWP which determines performance obligation, transaction price and allocates the transaction price to each of the separate performance obligations. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.

The Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for time value of money as the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer does not exceed one year and the sales are made with agreed credit terms which is in line with the industry practice.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are those expenses incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. As of reporting date, inventories consist of spares, diesel and lube oil.

Asset retirement obligation

The provision for asset retirement obligation is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of assets constructed on land under usufruct contracts with the Ministry of Housing, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of provision can be measured reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of removing the facilities and restoring the affected areas. A corresponding asset is recognised as part of plant and machinery in property, plant and equipment and depreciated accordingly.

The provision for asset retirement obligation is a best estimate of the present value of expected costs required to settle the obligation, at the reporting date based on the current requirements of the Usufruct agreement, using estimated cash flows. The cash flows are discounted at a current pre tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the asset retirement obligation. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as a finance cost.

Asset retirement obligation (continued)

The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are dealt with prospectively and reflected as an adjustment to the provision and corresponding decommissioning asset recorded as property, plant and equipment. If there is an indication that the new carrying amount of the asset is not fully recoverable, the asset is tested for impairment and an impairment loss is recognised where necessary.

Directors’ remuneration

The Board of Directors’ remuneration is accrued within the limits and the requirements of the Commercial Companies Law of the Sultanate of Oman.

Dividends on ordinary shares

Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as a liability and deducted from equity when they are approved by the Company’s shareholders.

Earnings and net assets per share

The Company presents earnings per share (EPS) and net assets per share for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Net assets per share is calculated by dividing the net assets attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Net assets for the purpose is defined as total equity.

Segmental reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Project Director who manages the Company on a day-to-day basis, as per the directives given by the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.

4. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The presentation of financial statements, in conformity with IFRS, requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, incomes and expenditures. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements

Management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Lease classification

The Company has entered into the Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with Oman Power and Water Procurement Company SAOC (“OPWP”) to generate electricity and make available the power capacity from its Plant.

Management believes that IFRIC 12 is not applicable to the arrangement as the residual interest is borne by the Company and not OPWP. The estimated useful life of the power plant of 40 years takes into account the Company’s right to extend the land lease under a Usufruct Agreement for an additional term of 25 years. Furthermore, the residual value of the assets will have substantial value at the conclusion of the PPA and the Company will be able to continue to generate revenue through supply of power taking into account the government’s future plans to deregulate the power sector in Oman.

Management considers the requirements of IFRS 16 Leases (2018: IFRIC 4, “Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease”), which sets out guidelines to determine when an arrangement might contain a lease. The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

Once a determination is reached that an arrangement contains a lease, the lease arrangement is classified as either financing or operating according to the principles in IFRS 16 Leases (2018: IAS 17, Leases). A lease that conveys the majority of the risks and rewards of operation is a finance lease. A lease other than a finance lease is an operating lease.

PROSPECTUS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the period ended 30 June 2019 (continued)

4. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)

Lease classification

Based on management’s evaluation, the PPA with OPWP is considered as a lease within the context of IFRIC 4 and has been classified as an operating lease under IFRS 16 Leases (2018: IAS 17 Leases) since significant risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the plant lies with the Company and not with OPWP.

The primary basis for this conclusion is that the PPA is for a term of 15 years while the economic life of the power plant is estimated to be 40 years. The present value of minimum lease payments under the PPA does not substantially recover the fair value of the plant at the inception of the lease.

Fuel incremental costs

The Company and Ministry of Oil and Gas (“MoG”) have entered into a Natural Gas Sales Agreement (“NGSA”), which includes a clause for reimbursement of the incremental fuel oil costs which represents amount by which the cost of Fuel Oil is more than the cost of Natural Gas. Due to the shortage of the gas supply the Company has incurred additional fuel oil costs to maintain the operations of the Plant (since the commercial operation date). The Company had received correspondence from MoG, wherein it has established a mechanism whereby it would be reimbursing the Company for the additional fuel oil costs incurred on account of shortage of the gas supply. The Company has recognised reimbursement of incremental fuel oil cost in view of the correspondence with MoG and OPWP in respect of this matter and the confirmation from OPWP that the parameters used by the Company in the calculation of the fuel oil incremental does not materially differ from their basis.

Subsequent to the period end, OPWP has sent the aforesaid confirmation to MoG and the Company believes that the amount receivable would be settled in the 2nd half of the current financial years.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the significant estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements:

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

Depreciation is charged so as to write-off the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives. The calculation of useful lives is based on management’s assessment of various factors such as the operating life, the maintenance programs, and normal wear and tear using its best estimates.

Asset retirement obligation

Upon expiry of their respective Usufruct Agreement (in relation to land lease) and Power Purchase agreements, the Company will have an obligation to remove the facilities and restore the affected area. The estimated cost, discount rate and risk rate used in the provision for decommissioning costs calculation is based on management’s best estimates.

13. Provision for asset retirement obligation

Under the Usufruct Agreement with the Ministry of Housing, the Company has an obligation to remove the plant and restore the land to its original condition. The provision for asset retirement obligation has been calculated using an expected present value technique. 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. In estimating the costs an inflation rate is applied until the retirement obligations expire in order to determine the value of the future obligation and a discount rate is applied to determine the present value of the obligation. The costs to be incurred in the future may differ from the estimates in terms of their nature and timing of payment. The provisions may be subsequently adjusted in line with changes in the above-mentioned inputs.

During 2018, the Company appointed an independent external firm with relevant expertise to reassess the estimated asset retirement obligation provision. Based on the expert’s report, the provision was reduced by RO 3.631 million and a corresponding adjustment was made in the de-commissioning asset as at 31 December 2018. The movement in the provision for asset retirement obligation is as follows:

22. Financial risk management The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk,

foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk. However, the Company’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance.

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.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of 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.

Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates

and prices 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.

Price risk The permitted tariff (prices) for the generation of electricity are determined in accordance with the

Power Purchase Agreement with OPWP. Hence, the Company is not subject to significant price risk.

Foreign currency risk Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognised assets or liabilities

are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures primarily with respect to the US Dollar. The Rial Omani is pegged to the US Dollar. Since most of the Company’s foreign currency transactions are in US Dollars or other currencies linked to the US Dollar management believes that exchange rate fluctuations would have an insignificant impact on the Company’s pre-tax profit.

Interest rate risk The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk on its loan from shareholders and senior facility

loan as these carry fixed interest rate. At the reporting date the interest rate risk profile of the Company’s interest bearing financial instruments were:

30 June 2019 31 December 2018

RO ‘000 RO ‘000

Senior facility loan 68,077 69,902

Loan from shareholders 3,056 3,067

71,133 72,969

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments

The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rate at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the period ended 30 June 2019 (continued)

22. Financial risk management (continued)

Credit risk

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.

As at reporting date, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking into account any collateral held or other credit enhancements, which will cause a financial loss to the Company due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties arises from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the statement of financial position.

The Company has significant concentration of credit risk with the Government of the Sultanate of Oman represented by the MoG and OPWP. Under the terms of the PPA and NGSA, the Company’s sales and fuel incremental costs are billed wholly to OPWP (indirectly owned wholly by the Government) and MoG (as disclosed in note 4) respectively. Therefore, the Company’s credit risk on receivables from OPWP and MoG is limited.

In order to minimise credit risk, the management develop and maintain the Company’s credit risk gradings to categorise exposures according to their degree of risk of default. The credit rating information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the Company uses other publicly available financial information and the Company’s own trading records to rate its major customers and other debtors. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.

The Company’s current credit risk grading framework comprises the following categories:

Category Description Basis for recognising expected credit losses

Performing The counterparty has a low risk of default and does not have any past-due amounts

12-month ECL

Doubtful Amount is >30 days past due or there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition

Lifetime ECL – not credit-impaired

In default Amount is >90 days past due or there is evidence indicating the asset is credit-impaired

Lifetime ECL – credit-impaired

Write-off There is evidence indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and the Company has no realistic prospect of recovery

Amount is written off

10,072 9,061 78 818 115 10,072

The Company measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECL using the simplified approach. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date. The Company has not accounted for ECL against OPWP and MoG because these are government and/or government owned entities and taking into account the historical default experience and the current credit ratings of the Government, the management of the Company have assessed that there is no significant impairment loss. In relation to receivable from MoG further details are disclose in note 4.

The Company writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or when the trade receivables are over two years past due, whichever occurs earlier. None of the trade receivables that have been written off are subject to enforcement activities.

Credit risk (continued)

Bank balances

Balances with bank are assessed to have low credit risk of default since these banks are highly regulated by the central banks of the respective countries. Accordingly, the management of the Company estimates the loss allowance on balances with bank at the end of the reporting period at an amount equal to 12 month ECL. None of the balances with bank at the end of the reporting period are past due and taking into account the historical default experience and the current credit ratings of the bank, the management of the Company have assessed that there is no impairment, and hence have not recorded any loss allowances on these balances.

The Company limits its credit risk with regard to bank balance deposits by only dealing with reputable bank and financial institution with strong credit ratings. The Company’s bank accounts are placed with reputed financial institutions having credit rating of Ba1 (P-3) as per the recently ratings issued by Moody’s Investors Service.

Liquidity risk

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will 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. Further, the Company maintains sufficient bank balances. The table below summarises the maturities of the Company’s undiscounted financial liabilities at the reporting date:
