	(i)		the Margin;

	(ii)		the rate notified to the Global Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and

	(b)		Paragraph (a) above does not apply with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party under the laws of the jurisdiction in which:

	(i)		that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

	(ii)		that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

	(c)		participate or sub-participate any of its Available Commitment or its share of any outstanding Loans,

to another bank or financial institution (in the case of assignments and transfers by novation, such bank or financial institution being the “New Lender”), in each case, provided that such transfer, assignment, participation or sub-participation of any portion of the Lender’s Available Commitment or its share of the outstanding Loans under any Facility shall be made in accordance with the provisions of:

	(i)		the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed;

	(ii)		the relevant Loan Agreement; and

	(iii)		this Clause 27 (Changes to Lenders).

27.2

Procedure for Assignment or Transfer

(a)

Subject to Clause 27.1 (Assignments and Transfers by the Lenders) and the conditions of the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed and the relevant Loan Agreement, an assignment will only be effective on receipt

117

by the Global Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender, such confirmation to be in the form set out in Schedule 5 (Form of Accession Letter), that the New Lender will be bound by the obligations of the Finance Documents and will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it were an Original Lender.

(b)

Subject to Clause 27.1 (Assignments and Transfers by the Lenders) and the conditions of the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed and the relevant Loan Agreement, a transfer will only be effective on:

	(i)		receipt by the Global Agent of a Transfer Certificate, together with duly executed accession documents, pursuant to which the New Lender has acceded to the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed and such other documents as are necessary to enable the New Lender to assume all of the rights and obligations of the Lender under the Finance Documents;

	(ii)		execution by the Global Agent of the Transfer Certificate, which it shall execute as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

	(iii)		receipt of the consent of the Company for an assignment or transfer by a Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is to another existing Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Default has occurred and is continuing and provided that:

	(A)		the consent of the Company to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

	(B)		the Company will be deemed to have given its consent seven (7) days after the Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Company within that time; and

	(C)		the consent of the Company to an assignment or transfer must not be withheld solely because the assignment or transfer may result in an increase to the Mandatory Cost.

(c)

If:

	(i)		a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

	(ii)		as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Company would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new

118

Facility Office under Clause 11.1 (Gross-up) or Clause 11.2 (Tax Indemnity) or Clause 12 (Increased Costs),

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

(d)

On the Transfer Date:

	(i)		to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Lender transfers by novation any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents, the Company and the Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another in respect of such rights and obligations under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

	(ii)		the Company and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as the Company and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Company and the Lender;

	(iii)		the New Lender and the other Finance Parties shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Lender and the other Parties hereto shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

	(iv)		the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.

	(ii)		the financial condition of any Major Project Party;

119

	(iii)		the performance and observance by any Major Project Party of its obligations under the Principal Documents; or

	(iv)		the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Principal Documents,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

Each New Lender confirms to the Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

	(i)		has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Major Project Party and its related entities in connection with its participation in the Principal Documents and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Lender in connection with any Principal Documents; and

	(ii)		will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Major Project Party and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Available Commitment under any Loan Agreement is in force.

(c)

Nothing in any Finance Document obliges a Lender to:

	(i)		accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 27 (Changes to the Lenders); or

	(ii)		support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Major Project Party of its obligations under the Principal Documents or otherwise.

27.5

126

	(d)		Nothing in this Agreement will oblige any Administrative Party to satisfy any know your customer requirement in relation to the identity of any person on behalf of any Finance Party.

29.11

Compliance

	(a)		constitute a breach of any law or regulation or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any person, and may do anything which, in its opinion, is necessary or desirable to comply with any law or regulation; or

	(b)		cause it to expend or risk its own funds if it has reasonable grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity in respect thereof is not assured to it.

29.12

Relationship with Lenders

	(a)		The Global Agent may treat each Lender as a Lender, entitled to payments under this Agreement and any relevant Loan Agreement and as acting through its Facility Office(s) until it has received not less than seven (7) days’ prior notice from that Lender to the contrary.

127

29.13

Individual position of an Administrative Party

	(i)		carry on any business with any Major Project Party or its related entities (including acting as an agent or a trustee for any other financing); and

	(i)		deduct from any amount received by it for that Finance Party any amount due to the Global Agent from that Finance Party under a Finance Document but unpaid; and

	(ii)		apply that amount in or towards satisfaction of the owed amount,

and that Finance Party will be regarded as having received the amount so deducted.

(c)

The provisions of this Clause 29.14 (Lenders’ Indemnity to the Global Agent) shall continue in full force and effect not withstanding termination of this Agreement or the retirement or removal of the Global Agent in accordance with Clause 30.3(a) (Rights and Obligations).

		Until the Final Termination Date, the Company shall effect and maintain, or cause to be effected and maintained, insurances in respect of the risks and in the amounts and with such other provisions specified in Exhibit A (Insurances). All such insurances (including any Global Policy) shall comply with the requirements of this Schedule.

1.2		Other Insurances

		Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Schedule, until the Final Termination Date, the Company shall effect and maintain, or cause to be effected and maintained, any additional insurance not specified in Exhibit A which:

	(b)		is required pursuant to Clause 4.1 (Additional Insurances) of this Schedule.

2		ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO INSURANCES

The Company shall procure that all insurances shall at all times:

	(b)		where relevant, all policy provisions (except those relating to limits of liability) shall operate as if they were a separate policy covering each insured party;

6.3		Larger Claims

		In respect of any loss where the actual or estimated totality of its claims arising is one million US Dollars (US$1,000,000) or more (before any deductible or excess) (other than with respect to third party liability) the Company shall not negotiate, compromise or settle any claim with respect to such loss without the written consent of the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

6.4		Rights following Event of Default

		Notwithstanding any other provisions of Clauses 6 (Claims) of this Schedule and 7 (Insurance Proceeds) of this Schedule, in relation to claims under the insurances (other than as provided in Clause 7.2 (Pursuing Liability Claims) of this Schedule), if an Event of Default has occurred and is outstanding:

	(a)		the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) shall have the right to take over sole conduct of the Company’s claims; and

	(b)		the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) shall be entitled to require all Insurance Proceeds (including funds in the Insurance Proceeds Account) not required to be applied in accordance with the PPA, to be applied by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents.

		Any loss hereunder shall be settled and accounted for by the Reinsurers (pro rata to their respective shares, and taking account of the proportion of the underlying risk of the Insurer reinsured hereunder) in the same currency as the currency in which the loss has been properly claimed by an Insured, and applying the same exchange rate as was applied in calculating the Insurer’s liability to the Insured where the Insured’s loss has been converted into a different currency for the purpose of the claim against the Insurer.

8		Timing of claim payment obligation

		The Reinsurers’ obligation to pay under this reinsurance and in accordance with the loss payment provisions of this policy arises when the ceding Insurer’s reinsured liability becomes payable (whether by agreement or compromise by the Insurer of a claim, court order or arbitral award) and is not dependant on the Insurer having actually paid a claim or settled a liability to the Company or the Onshore Security Agent (acting on behalf of the Finance Parties).

9		Loss Payments

		The Insurer irrevocably authorises and instructs the Reinsurer to pay, and the Reinsurer agrees to pay, all claims, return premiums, ex gratia settlements and any other monies payable under or in relation to this contract to the account of the company to the Offshore Insurance Proceeds Account or to such other account as the Onshore Security Agent as loss payee may specify in writing, and that no instruction, whether by the Insurer or by any person other than the Onshore Security Agent, to make any payment to any other person or account shall be honoured by the Reinsurer unless given or countersigned by the Onshore Security Agent, or such other person as the Onshore Security Agent may notify to the Reinsurer in writing. All such payments shall be made by the Reinsurer without any deduction or set-off on any account or of any kind except deductions for any unpaid premiums. A payment to the loss payee in accordance with this provision shall, to the extent of that payment, discharge (a) the liability of the Reinsurer to pay the Insurer, and (b) the liability of the Insurer to the Insureds under the underlying insurance contract reinsured hereby. The arrangements in this clause

206

		shall continue to apply notwithstanding the liquidation or insolvency of the Insurer or the Reinsurer or the Company.

10		Waiver of subrogation

		The Reinsurers hereby waive all rights of action that they may have or acquire by way of subrogation or otherwise howsoever (a) against any of the Insureds or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents or (b) involving the exercise of rights or powers vested in any Insureds (acting in any capacity) under or by virtue of any agreement relating to the Project.

11		Underlying Insureds not liable for reinsurance premiums

		The Reinsurers acknowledge that none of the Insureds is liable for payment of any premium payable in respect of this reinsurance.

12		Offset

		No Reinsurer shall be entitled to offset any sums payable to it by the Insurer or any Insured on any account whatsoever (other than premium outstanding from the Insurer in respect of this contract of reinsurance) against any amount payable by that Reinsurer under this reinsurance.

13		Notices by Reinsurers

		Reinsurers shall give to the Onshore Security Agent at least 45 days notice in writing:

	(a)		of any act or omission or of any event of which the Reinsurer has knowledge and which the Reinsurer considers would invalidate or render unenforceable in whole or in part this reinsurance or any claim under it or which might entitle the Reinsurer to terminate, rescind, repudiate or avoid this policy, or to treat it as terminated, or to exclude or decline any claim under it, in whole or part for any reason;

	(b)		if they have not agreed to renew this Reinsurance policy at its next expiry date.

		The Insurer confirms that it has given irrevocable authority to the Company’s insurance broker, as agent of the Insurer, to pay reinsurance premiums direct to the Reinsurers.

A payment to the loss payee in accordance with this provision shall, to the extent of that payment, discharge (a) the liability of the Reinsurer to pay the Insurer; and (b) the liability of the Insurer to the Insureds under the underlying insurance contract reinsured hereby.

SCHEDULE 14
HIV Protective Measures

(Adopted from ILO Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and the World of Work — Key principles)

The following principles are part of the International Labor Organization’s Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and the World of Work. The code is voluntary and meant for use by the private sector in the development of workplace policies and guidelines.

HIV/AIDS is a workplace issue, not only because it affects the workforce, but also because the workplace can play a vital role in limiting the spread and effects of the epidemic.

Non-Discrimination — There should be no discrimination or stigmatization against workers on the basis of real or perceived HIV status.

Gender equality — More equal gender relations and the empowerment of women are vital to preventing the spread of HIV infection and enabling women to cope with HIV/AIDS.

Healthy work Environment — The work environment should be healthy and safe, and adapted to the state of health and capabilities of workers.

Social Dialogue — A successful HIV/AIDS policy and program requires cooperation, trust and dialogue between employers, workers, and governments.

Screening for purposes of employment — HIV/AIDS screening should not be required of job applicants or persons in employment, and testing for HIV should not be carried out at the workplace except as specified in this code.

Confidentiality — Access to personal data relating to a worker’s HIV status should be bound by the rules of confidentiality consistent with existing ILO codes of practice.

Continuing the employment relationship — HIV infection is not a cause for termination of employment. Persons with HIV-related illnesses should be able to work for as long as medically fit in appropriate conditions.

Prevention — The social partners are in a unique position to promote prevention efforts through information and education; and support changes in attitudes and behaviour.

Care and Support — Solidarity, care and support should guide the response to AIDS in the workplace. All workers are entitled to affordable health services and to benefits from statutory and occupational schemes.

Part 2
Form of Audited Financial Statements for Kenyan Branch

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE DIRECTORS OF ORPOWER 4 INCORPORATED IN RESPECT OF THE KENYA BRANCH

Report on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Orpower 4 Incorporated (Kenya) Branch set out on pages 3 to 16. These financial statements comprise the balance sheet at 31 December 2006, and the profit and loss account, statement of changes in head office account and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Managements’ responsibility for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s responsibility

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

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

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

Opinion

In our opinion the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the branch’s financial affairs at 31 December 2006 and of its profit and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Orpower 4 Incorporated (Kenya) Branch
Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2006

Notes

1		General information

		Orpower 4 Incorporated (Kenya) Branch is a branch of Orpower 4 Inc., incorporated in Cayman Islands under the Companies Act as a private limited liability company, and is domiciled in Kenya. The address of its registered office is:

		P.O Box 1566, Code 20177 NAIVASHA.

		The principal activity of the branch is electricity generation and sale from geothermal power,

2		Summary of significant accounting policies

		The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a)		Basis of preparation

		The financial statements are prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The measurement basis applied is the historical cost basis, except where otherwise stated in the accounting policies below. The financial statements are presented in US dollars ($).

		The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the branch’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 4.

		Adoption of new and revised standards

		In 2006 new and revised standards and interpretations became effective for the first time and have been adopted by the branch where relevant to its operations. The adoption of these new and revised standards and interpretations had no material effect on the Branch’s accounting policies or disclosures.

		The following amendment to an existing standard and new standard will be mandatory for the Branch’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007, but which the Branch has not early adopted:

		— IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures. IFRS 7 introduces new disclosures to improve the information about financial instruments. It requires the disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, including sensitivity analysis to market risk.

Orpower 4 Incorporated (Kenya) Branch
Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2006

Notes (continued)

(b)		Revenue recognition

		Sales are recognised upon supply of electricity and are stated net of Value Added Tax (VAT).

		Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

(c)		Translation of foreign currencies

		Transactions are recorded on initial recognition in United States dollars, being the functional currency. Transactions in other currencies are converted into United States dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies are recognised in the profit and loss account.

(d)		Property, plant and equipment

		All categories of property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation.

		Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the branch and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit and loss account during the financial period in which they are incurred.

		Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method to write down their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:


Buildings		23 years
Plant and machinery		23 years
Motor vehicles		6.7 years
Equipment		4.3 years

		The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

		Property, plant and equipment 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).

		Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amounts and are taken into account in determining operating profit.

(e)		Accounting for leases

		Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating teases. Payments made under operating leases are

Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2006

Notes (continued)

(f)		Inventories

		Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

(g)		Receivables

		Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. A provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the branch will not be able to collect all the amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the profit and loss account.

(h)		Cash and cash equivalents

		Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

(i)		Employee benefits

(i)

Retirement benefit obligations

		The branch operates a defined contribution retirement benefit scheme for its pensionable employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the branch pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The branch has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

		The assets of the scheme are held in separate trustee administered funds, which are funded by contributions from both the branch and employees. The branch and all its employees also contribute to the National Social Security Fund, which is a defined contribution scheme.

		The branch’s contributions to the defined contribution schemes are charged to the profit and loss account in the year to which they relate.

(ii)

Other entitlements

The estimated monetary liability for employees’ accrued annual leave entitlement at the balance sheet date is recognised as an expense accrual.

(J)		Income tax

		Income tax expense is the aggregate of the charge to the profit and loss account in respect of current income tax and deferred income tax.

		Current income tax is the amount of income tax payable on the taxable profit for the year determined in accordance with the Kenyan Income Tax Act.

240

Orpower 4 Incorporated (Kenya) Branch
Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2006

Notes (continued)

(j)		Income tax (continued)

		Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes. However, if the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, it is not accounted for.

		Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax liability is settled.

		Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

3		Financial risk management objectives and policies

		The branch’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk and the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The branch’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on its financial performance, but the branch does not hedge any risks.

4		Critical accounting estimates and judgements

		Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including experience of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

		(i) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

		Property, plant and equipment

		Critical estimates are made by the directors in determining depreciation rates for property, plant and equipment. The rates used are set out in Note 2(d) above.

		(ii) Critical judgments in applying the entity’s accounting policies

		In the process of applying the branch’s accounting policies, management has made judgments in determining whether the assets are impaired.

5		Operating profit

		The following items have been charged in arriving at operating profit:


	2006		2005
	$		$

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment (Note 10)		1,749,095		1,754,031

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

OrPower4, Inc. (the “Company”) incorporated in Cayman Islands under the Companies Act as a private limited liability company, and is domiciled in Kenya.

The principal activity of the Company is generation and sale of electricity from geothermal power plants.

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are prepared in accordance International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and include the accounts of the Company and its Kenyan branch. The measurement basis applied is the historical cost basis, except where otherwise stated in the accounting policies below. The financial statements are presented in US dollars (dollars or $).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 2.

Foreign currency translation

1		Functional and presentation currency -

		Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar.

2		Transactions and balances -

		Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate, while non-monetary items are translated at historical rates. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year, except for depreciation, which is translated at historical rates. Translation adjustments and transactions gains or losses are included in results of operations.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements are capitalized and repairs and maintenance costs are expensed

256

The cost and accumulated depreciation of items sold or retired are removed from the accounts. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized currently and is recognized in operating income.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method to write down cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life, as follows:


Buildings		23 years
Plant and machinery		23 years
Motor vehicles		6.7 years
Equipment		4.3 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized 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).

Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amounts and are taken into account in determining operating income.

Financial assets

Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets in receivables and prepayments in the balance sheet.

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired

Receivables

Receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. A provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect

255

all the amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognized in income.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments, with an original maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.

Income taxes

Income tax expense is the aggregate of the charge to income in respect of current income taxes and deferred income taxes.

Current income tax is the amount of income tax payable on the taxable income for the period determined in accordance with the Kenyan Income Tax Act.

Deferred income taxes are provided in full, using the liability method, on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes. However, if the deferred income taxes arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable income or loss, they are not accounted for.

Deferred income taxes are determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Employee benefits

1.		Retirement benefit obligations

		The Company operates a defined contribution retirement benefit scheme for its pensionable employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

		The assets of the scheme are held in separate trustee administered funds, which are funded by contributions from both the Company and employees.

		The Company and all its employees also contribute to the National Social Security Fund, which is a defined contribution scheme.

258

		The Company’s contributions to the defined contribution schemes are charged to income in the period to which they relate.

2.		Other entitlements

		The estimated monetary liability for employees’ accrued annual leave entitlement at the balance sheet date is recognized as an expense accrual.

		Revenues and cost of revenues

		Revenues related to the sale of electricity from geothermal power plants and capacity payments are recorded based upon supply of electricity and are stated net of Value Added Tax (“VAT”).

		Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

		Accounting for leases

		Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

		Recently issued accounting pronouncements:

1.		Standards and interpretations that became effective in the year ended December 31, 2007:

		In the year ended December 31, 2007, the following new and revised standards and interpretations to published standards became effective for the first time and have been adopted by the Company where relevant to its operations. The comparative figures have been restated as required.

	(a)		IAS No. 1 Amendment, “Capital Disclosures”

			The amendment to IAS No. 1 introduces disclosures about the level of the Company’s capital and how to manage capital.

	(b)		IFRS No. 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”

			IFRS No. 7 introduces new disclosures relating to financial instruments. This standard did not have any impact on the classification or measurement of the Company’s financial instruments.

2.		Standards and interpretations to existing standards that became effective in the year ended December 31, 2007, but not relevant to the Company:

		IFRS No. 4, “Insurance Contracts”;

259

		IFRIC No. 7, “Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyper-inflationary Economies”;

		IFRIC No. 8, “Scope of IFRS 2”; and

		IFRIC No. 9, “Re-assessment of Embedded Derivatives”.

3.		An interpretation to existing standard that became effective in the six month period ended June 30, 2008:

		IFRIC No. 14 to IAS No. 19, “The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction”

		IFRIC No. 14 provides guidance on assessing the limit in IAS No. 19 on the amount of the surplus that can be recognized as an asset. It also explains how the pension asset or liability may be affected by a statutory or contractual minimum funding requirement. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

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

	(a)		IAS No. 23 (Revised), “Borrowing Costs” (“IAS No. 23R”) (effective for periods commencing January 1, 2009 or thereafter)

			IAS No. 23R requires an entity to capitalize borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) as part of the cost of that asset. The option of immediately expensing those borrowing costs has been removed. The Company did not use the above option and therefore the application of IAS No. 23R from January 1, 2009 is not expected to have an effect on its financial statements.

	(b)		IFRS No. 3 (Revised), “Business Combinations” (“ IFRS No. 3R”) (effective for periods commencing July 1, 2009 or thereafter)

			IFRS No. 3R outlines principles and requirements essentially describing how the purchaser has to: (i) recognize and measure in its financial statements the identified assets purchased under a business combination, the liabilities it has undertaken, and the minority interest in the purchased entity; (ii) recognize and measure the acquired goodwill in a business combination or the gain arising from the purchase transaction; and (iii) determine what information has to be disclosed in the financial statements to allow an evaluation of the nature of the business combination and its financial impact. Management is currently assessing the possible impact of applying IFRS No. 3R on the Company’s financial statements in the coming periods.

260

	(c)		IAS No. 1 (Revised), “Presentation of Financial Statements” “ IAS No. 1R”) (effective for periods commencing January 1, 2009 or thereafter)

			IAS No. 1R outlines overall requirements for financial statement presentation, guidelines for financial statement structure and minimum requirements as to the content of financial statements. IAS No. 1R requires, among other things, that any change in equity, arising from transactions with shareholders, in their capacity as owners, should be presented in the statements of changes in equity separately from changes not stemming from such transactions.

	(d)		IFRIC No. 15 (Revised), “Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate” (effective for periods commencing January 1, 2009 or thereafter)

			IFRIC No. 15 outlines guidelines for determining when IAS 11, “Construction Contracts” should be applied to the construction and sale of real estate, and when, IAS 18, “Revenue” from the contractor’s point of view, a determination that depends on the specific circumstances and requires the application of judgement. It also explains when revenue from the construction of real estate should be recognized in accordance with each of the two applicable standards (IAS 11 and IAS 18). The Group will apply IFRIC No. 15 as from January 1, 2009, and does not expect that such application will have a significant impact on its financial statements.

	(e)		IFRIC No. 16, “Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation (effective for periods commencing October 1, 2008 or thereafter)

			IFRIC No. 16 provides guidelines on several issues, including:

	(1)		Hedge accounting in respect of a net investment in a foreign operation may not be applied to foreign exchange differences resulting from the difference in presentation currency, but only to foreign exchange differences arising from a difference between the parent entity’s functional currency and that of its foreign operation.

	(2)		In the event of a group of companies, IFRIC No. 16 concludes that the hedging instrument may be held by any entity within the group (provided it meets the criteria of IAS No.39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”).

	(3)		In the event of disposal of the foreign operation, the amount to be reclassified from equity to the statement of operations will be the cumulative profit or loss on the hedge relating to the effective portion recognized directly in equity.

The Company will apply IFRIC No.16 as from January 1, 2009, and does not expect that such application will have a significant impact on its financial statements.

261

5.		Standards and interpretations to existing standards that became effective in the six month period ended June 30, 2008 but not relevant to the Company:

		IFRIC No. 11, “Group and Treasury Share Transactions”; and

		IFRIC No. 12, “Service Concession Arrangements”.

6.		Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards not yet effective in and not relevant to the Company:

		IAS No. 27 (Revised), “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” (“IAS No. 27R”)

		IFRS No. 8, “Operating Segments”; and

		IFRIC No. 13, “Customer Loyalty Programs”.

NOTE 2 — CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including experience of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

	(a)		Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

			Property, plant and equipment

			Critical estimates are made by management in determining depreciation rates for property, plant and equipment. The rates used are set out in Note 1 above.

	(b)		Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies

			In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made judgements in determining whether the assets are impaired.

			Income taxes

			Significant judgement is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

262

NOTE 3 — FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

		The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk and the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company’s overall risk management programmed focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance, but the Company does not hedge any risks.

		Credit Risk

		Credit risk arises from trade and other receivables. The Company has only one customer, Kenya Power and Lighting Co. Ltd. (“KPLC”). The Company credit controller assesses the credit quality of KPLC, taking into account the Power Purchase Agreement, past experience and other factors. There are no credit limits but credit terms are in accordance with limits set by the power purchase agreement (“PPA”).

		The amount that best represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 is as follows:


	June 30,		December 31,
	2008		2007
	(in U.S. dollars)


Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,564,020	$	143,908
Trade receivables		2,235,518		1,552,771
VAT receivable		1,260,144		455,644
Other receivables		14,127		11,515

	$	5,073,809	$	2,163,838

		No collateral is held for any of the above assets. All receivables that are neither past due or impaired are within their approved credit limits, and no receivables have had their terms renegotiated.

		None of the above assets are past due or impaired except for the following amounts in trade receivables (which are due within 30 days of the end of the month in which they are invoiced):


	June 30,		December 31,
	2008		2007
	(in U.S. dollars)

Past due, but not impaired	$	1,114,756	$	698,662

263

Market Risks

1.		Foreign exchange risk

		The Company transactions are primarily in dollars, the functional currency. Foreign exchange risk is therefore restricted to transactions and balances in Kenya Shillings. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities.

		At June 30, 2008, if the Kenya Shilling had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the dollar with all other variables held constant, the net income for the year would have been $14,590 lower/higher), mainly as a result of Kenya Shilling bank balances and trade payables.

		At December 31, 2007 if the Kenya Shilling had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the dollar with all other variables held constant, the net income for the year would have been: $8,068 higher/lower), mainly as a result of Kenya Shilling bank balances and trade payables.

2.		Interest rate risk

		The Company’s only interest bearing assets are its cash deposits, all of which are at variable rate. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, an increase/decrease of about 50 basis points would have resulted in an increase/decrease in net income of $48 and $4,645, respectively.

3.		Liquidity risk

		Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash.

		Management monitors rolling forecast of the Company’s liquidity reserve on the basis of expected cash flow and budget control.

		The table below analyses the Company’s financial liabilities that will be settled in net basis relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances, as impact of discounting is not significant.


	Between 1 and
	1 and 3 Months
	(in U.S. dollars)
At June 30, 2008: —
— trade and other payables	£	3,498,531


At December 31, 2007 —
— trade and other payables	$	53,046

264

		Capital risk management

		The Company is funded by the parent company and other related parties.

		Pursuant to a 20-year PPA with KPLC, the Kenyan parastatal electricity transmission and distribution company, the Company agreed to design, construct and operate geothermal power plants in Kenya in several phases.

NOTE 7 — CONSTRUCTION-IN-PROCESS

The Company has incurred $84,801,016 and $68,155,262 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, in connection with the construction of Phase II of the Olkaria III project. Pursuant to the amended and restated PPA, the parties agreed to shorten the construction period for Phase II to approximately twenty-one months commencing on February 7, 2007 and to reduce the tariff payable by KPLC on the total capacity of the plant upon completion of Phase II. Management believes that the project will be completed in the required timeframe. If the Company does not complete the construction of Phase II by the required date, the Company may lose some or all of its investment in the construction-in-process relating to Phase II.

NOTE 9 — POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT

The Olkaria III project is located in Naivasha, Kenya. The Olkaria III project is currently comprised of one plant, which commenced commercial operation in August 2000, and a geothermal field. The plant currently has a generating capacity of approximately 13 MW (Phase I) .The Company is working on the construction of Phase II of this project which it expects, upon completion, will increase the generating capacity of the Olkaria III project to approximately 48 MW. Phase I of the Olkaria III project utilizes a binary system. In November

266

		1998, following an international tender, the Company entered into a PPA with KPLC, which was recently amended and restated in January 2007. The PPA for the project will expire 20 years from the completion of Phase II, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2008.The Company leases the site on which the geothermal resources and the plant facilities are located from the Kenyan government, pursuant to an agreement which will expire in 2040. The Kenyan government granted the company a license giving it exclusive rights of use and possession of the relevant geothermal resources for an initial period of 30 years, expiring in 2029, which initial period may be extended by the Company for two additional five-year terms. The Kenyan Minister of Energy has the right to terminate or revoke the license in the event the Company ceases work in or under the license area during a period of six months, or has failed to comply with the terms of the license or the provisions of the law relating to geothermal resources. The Company is obligated to pay the Kenyan government monthly fees and royalties based on the amount of power supplied to KPLC.

		On January 19, 2007, the company entered into an Amended and Restated PPA and a Project Security Agreement with KPLC with respect to Phase II of the Olkaria III project. These agreements were executed after the receipt of appropriate regulatory approvals from the Kenyan authorities. The construction of the second phase of the project is expected, upon completion, to add approximately 35 MW to the existing facility, bringing the project’s total capacity to approximately 48 MW. Following completion of Phase II, total anticipated annual revenues from the project will be approximately $32 million. Under the Project Security Agreement, KPLC provided a letter of credit in an amount equal to the value of four months of anticipated revenues from the project under the Amended and Restated PPA (currently valued at approximately $8 million).

SCHEDULE 21
Calculation of the Mandatory Cost

The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with:

	(a)		the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions); or

	(b)		the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2		On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Global Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Global Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

3		The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Global Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Global Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.

4		The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Global Agent as follows:


E x 0.01 300		per cent. per annum.

		Where:

		E: is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Global Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Global Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5		For the purposes of this Schedule:

(a)

“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force

278

			from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

	(b)		“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

	(c)		“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

6		If requested by the Global Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Global Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

7		Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Global Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

	(a)		the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

	(b)		any other information that the Global Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

		Each Lender shall promptly notify the Global Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

8		The rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Global Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Global Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.

9		The Global Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects.

279

10		The Global Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.

11		Any determination by the Global Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

12		The Global Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.
