Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

Note 1.- Nature of the business

Myah Bahr Honaine S.p.a. (“MBH” or “the Company”), was incorporated in Algeria as a Société par actions on September 16, 2006.

The main activity of the Company is the operation of a water desalination plant located in Taffsout, Algeria, near three important cities: Oran, to the northeast, and Sidi Bel Abbés and Tlemcen, to the southeast. The offices are located in Dely Ibrahim, Alger (Algeria).

The technology selected for the Honaine plant is currently the most commonly used in this kind of project. It consists in desalination using membranes by reverse osmosis. MBH has a capacity of seven million of cubic feet (M ft3) per day of desalinated water and has been in operation since July 2012. The project serves a population of approximately 1 million.

The water purchase agreement is a U.S. dollar indexed 25-year take-or-pay contract with Sonatrach/Algerienne des Eaux (“ADE”), from Commercial Operation Date (“COD”) in July 2012. The tariff structure is based upon plant capacity and water production, covering variable cost (water cost plus electricity cost). Tariffs are adjusted monthly based on the indexation mechanisms that include local inflation, U.S. inflation and the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and local currency.

The Company does not anticipate the effect of the application of any of the above standards, interpretations or amendments to have a significant effect in the financial statements of the Company.

2.3.	Critical accounting policies and estimates

Some of the accounting policies applied require the application of significant judgment by management to select the appropriate assumptions to determine these estimates. These assumptions and estimates are based on historical experience, advice from experienced consultants, forecasts and other circumstances and expectations as of the close of the financial period. The assessment is considered in relation to the global economic situation of the industry and region where the Company operates, taking into account future development of the businesses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty; therefore, actual results could materially differ from the estimates and assumptions used. In such cases, the carrying values of assets and liabilities are adjusted.

The most critical accounting policies, which reflect significant management estimates and judgment to determine amounts in these financial statements, are Contracted concessional agreements (see Note 3.1.).

As of the date of preparation of these financial statements, no relevant changes in the estimates made are anticipated and, therefore, no significant changes in the value of the assets and liabilities recognized at December 31, 2017, are expected.

Although these estimates and assumptions are being made using all available facts and circumstances, it is possible that future events may require management to amend such estimates and assumptions in future periods. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized prospectively, in accordance with IAS 8, in the income statement of the year in which the change occurs.

2.4.1.

Useful lives of contracted concessional assets items

The useful lives of contracted concessional assets are estimated in accordance with the foreseeable life cycles for the use of desalination plants. The Company reviews the useful lives of the plant every year. In the case of technical innovations and changes in the cycles of the sector in which it operates, the Company determine whether it is necessary to correct that estimate, and if the estimate differs from that previously performed, the effect of the change is accounted on a prospective basis beginning from the year in which the change is made.

2.4.2.

Revenue recognition

As mentioned in Note 1, MBH signed a “public-to-private” arrangement to build, operate and transfer of a concessional infrastructure for a 25 year period which includes the design of the infrastructure, as well as the services related to its operation and maintenance for the period agreed.

Consequently, as per the provisions of International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee 12 (“IFRIC 12”), the Company recognized a financial asset at the fair value of the construction services and measured revenue and costs for providing construction services during the period of construction of the infrastructure in accordance with IAS 11 “Construction Contracts”.

Project name		Country		Period of Concession		Offtaker		Arrangement Terms (price)		Description of the Arrangement
Honaine		Algeria		25 Years		Sonatrach & ADE		U.S. dollar indexed take-or-pay contract with Sonatrach / ADE		25 years purchase agreement

The financial asset is subsequently recorded at amortized cost calculated according to the effective interest method. Revenue from operations and maintenance services is recognized in each period according to IAS 18 “Revenue”. The remuneration of managing and operating the asset resulting from the valuation at amortized cost is also recorded in revenue.

2.4.	Functional currency and presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in thousands of US Dollars (Usd). The functional currency of the Company is the Dinar (DZD).

The conversion to the presentation currency from the functional currency has been performed using the following procedures:

Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented were translated at the closing rate;

For each period presented, income and expenses in the period were translated at the average exchange rate of the period;

All resulting exchange differences were recognized in the other comprehensive income.

The conversion to the presentation currency has a negative impact in equity, due to the appreciation of the USD against the DZD, within the line Other comprehensive income, of Usd 40,739 thousand and Usd 33,933 thousand as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Note 3.- Significant accounting policies

These are the principal accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements:

3.1.	Contracted Concessional Assets

Contracted concessional assets include fixed assets financed through project debt, related to service concession arrangements recorded in accordance with IFRIC 12.

The application of IFRIC 12 requires extensive judgment in relation with, among other factors, (i) the identification of certain infrastructures and contractual agreements in the scope of IFRIC 12, (ii) the understanding of the nature of the payments in order to determine the classification of the infrastructure as a financial asset or as an intangible asset and (iii) the timing and recognition of the revenue from construction and concessionary activity.

The Company recognizes a financial asset as the demand risk is assumed by the grantor, to the extent that the concession holder has an unconditional right to receive payments for the asset and the only substantial risk of non-recovery of the initial investment is credit deterioration of the counterparty.

This asset was initially recognized at the fair value of the construction services provided, in accordance with IAS 11. The financial asset is subsequently recorded at amortized cost calculated according to the effective interest method. Revenue from operations and maintenance services is recognized in each period according to IAS 18 “Revenue”. The remuneration of managing and operating the asset resulting from the valuation at amortized cost is also recorded in revenue.

3.2.	Financial investments

Financial investments are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets are added to the fair value of the financial assets on initial recognition.

The classification of financial investments depends on the nature and purpose for which they were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

Financial investments held by the Company other than Contracted Concessional Assets are classified as ‘Trade and other receivables'.

Trade and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments, not listed on an active market. After initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost in accordance with the 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. 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) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Trade and other receivables are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Trade receivables are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Company's past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

Pursuant to IAS 39, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of these assets exceeds the present value of future cash flows discounted at the initial effective interest rate.

3.3.	Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities include project debt and trade and other payables, which are further described in Note 10.

Borrowings and trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds initially received (net of transaction costs incurred in obtaining such proceeds) and the repayment value is recognized in the income statement over the duration of the borrowing using the effective interest rate method.

3.4.	Related party transactions

In general, operations with related parties are initially recorded at their fair value. The subsequent valuation is made in accordance with the terms set out in the corresponding regulations (refer to Note 13).

3.5.	Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, cash in bank and other highly-liquid current investments with an original maturity of three months or less which are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

3.6.	Classification of assets and liabilities as current or non-current.

The Company presents the Statement of financial position classifying assets and liabilities between current and non-current. For these purposes, assets and liabilities are considered current if they meet the following criteria:

Assets are classified as current if it is expected that they will be realized, sold or consumed within twelve months from the date of close;

Liabilities are classified as current if it is expected that they will be settled within twelve months from the date of close, or the Company does not have the unconditional right to defer the cancellation of the liabilities during the twelve months following the date of close.

Note 4.- Financial risk management

Financial risk factors

The activities carried out by the Company are exposed to different financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

Management of the Company seeks to minimize the potential adverse effects of these risks on the Company's financial profitability.

Market risk

The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk considering its debt is at a fixed interest rate. Tariffs of the water purchase agreement are adjusted monthly based on the indexation mechanisms that include local inflation, U.S. inflation and the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the local currency.

Credit risk

The Company considers that it has limited credit risk with clients as revenues are derived from revenue contracted agreement with state-owned entities.

Liquidity risk

The aim of the Company's liquidity and financing policy is to ensure that the Company has sufficient availability of funds to meet its financial commitments.

The Company aims to have adequate capacity for the repayment of its debt in relation to its cash generation capacity.

The Company has a project financing in place. The repayment profile of this debt is established on the basis of the projected cash flow generation of the business. This ensures that sufficient financing is available to meet deadlines and maturities, which mitigates the liquidity risk significantly.
