NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM COMBINED CARVE-OUT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

 

1. Description of business

 

Höegh LNG Colombia Holding Ltd., a Cayman Islands company, was incorporated on January 27, 2016 for the purpose of owning companies that have a 100% ownership of, and operate, the Höegh Grace, a floating storage regasification unit (the “FSRU” or the “vessel”) and the associated contracts for the time charter. Höegh LNG Colombia Holding Ltd. is 100% owned by a subsidiary of Höegh LNG Holdings Ltd. (“Höegh LNG”).

 

Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd., a Cayman Islands company (the “FSRU owning entity”), is an indirect 100% owned subsidiary of Höegh LNG. On November 1, 2014 Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd. entered into an International Leasing Agreement (“ILA”) with Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao S.A. E.S.P (“SPEC” or the “Charterer”) for the lease of an FSRU being constructed by Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. (“HHI”). The FSRU will serve as a LNG import terminal in Cartagena, on the Atlantic coast of Colombia. The initial term of the lease is 20 years. However, the Charterer has an unconditional option to cancel the lease after 10 and 15 years. As a result, non cancellable lease period is for ten years. The lease is expected to commence in December 2016. On November 1, 2014 Höegh LNG also entered into an Operation and Service Agreement (“OSA”) with SPEC to operate and provide certain services for the FSRU for SPEC for the duration of the ILA.

 

A subsidiary of Höegh LNG had the shipbuilding contract with HHI for the delivery of the Höegh Grace. This subsidiary of Höegh LNG transferred the Höegh Grace along with associated assets and liabilities to Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd. as of the delivery date of the FSRU by HHI on March 30, 2016.

 

On March 17, 2016, Höegh LNG Colombia S.A.S. (the “Contractor”) was incorporated in Colombia as a limited liability company with Colombian tax residency. The Contractor is a 100% owned subsidiary of Höegh LNG Colombia Holding Ltd. and will provide ship management services, including technical management to SPEC under the OSA. The OSA was novated from Höegh LNG to Höegh LNG Colombia S.A.S. on October 17, 2016.

 

In June 2016, the 100% ownership of Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd., the owner of the Höegh Grace, was transferred to Höegh LNG Colombia Holding Ltd.

 

These combined carve-out financial statements include the individual financial statements of Höegh LNG Colombia Holding Ltd., Höegh LNG Colombia S.A.S., Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd. and the carve-out assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows related to the Höegh Grace from the accounting records of Höegh LNG (prior to the transfer of the FSRU to Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd.). The combined carve-out financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for the purpose of meeting the requirements of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X.

 

Höegh LNG Colombia Holding Ltd., Höegh LNG Colombia S.A.S., Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd. and activities related to the Höegh Grace carved-out of Höegh LNG are collectively referred to in these combined carve-out financial statements as the “Combined entities.”

 

Subsidiaries of Höegh LNG provided building supervision, commercial and technical services for the Höegh Grace for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

Under Cayman Islands law, Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd. may only pay distributions out of profits or capital reserves if it is solvent after the distribution. Dividends from Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd. may only be distributed (i) out of profits and not from the share capital of the company and (ii) if after the dividend payment, Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd. would remain in compliance with the financial covenants under the Gallant/Grace facility (refer to note 8).

2. Significant accounting policies

 

a. Basis of presentation

 

The combined carve-out financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim combined carve-out financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, which are of a normal recurring nature, have been included. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated. The footnotes are condensed and do not include all of the disclosures required for a complete set of financial statements. Therefore, the unaudited condensed interim combined carve-out financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combined carve-out financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, appearing elsewhere in the Report on Form 6-K to which this document is an exhibit.

 

On March 30, 2016, Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd. acquired 100% ownership of the Höegh Grace, along with associated assets and liabilities. In June 2016, the 100% ownership of Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd., the owner of the Höegh Grace, was transferred to Höegh LNG Colombia Holding Ltd. Both transactions were accounted for as reorganization of entities under common control and the transfer of net assets were recorded at Höegh LNG’s historical book value as adjusted to be in accordance with US GAAP.

 

b. Carve-out principles

 

The carve-out principles used in the preparation of the unaudited condensed interim combined carve-out financial statements are consistent with those applied in the audited combined carve-out financial statements for Höegh LNG Colombia Holding Ltd. for the year-ended December 31, 2015 appearing elsewhere in the Report on Form 6-K to which this document is an exhibit.

 

c. Accounting policies

3. Time charter revenues

 

Following the delivery of the Höegh Grace from the shipyard in March 2016, the FSRU was employed until August 2016 on a short term contract as an LNG carrier.

 

The time charter for the Höegh Grace with SPEC has a non-cancelable lease term of ten years and is expected to commence in December 2016.

 

4. Financial income (expense), net

 

The components of financial income (expense), net are as follows:

 

    Nine months ended
September 30,
 
(in thousands of U.S. dollars)   2016     2015  
Interest expense:            
Interest expense   $ (7,714 )   $ (2,089 )
Commitment fees     (496 )     (1,540 )
Amortization of deferred debt issuance cost     (333 )      
Capitalized interest           2,778  
Total interest expense     (8,543 )     (851 )
Gain (loss) on derivative financial instruments     (250 )     (937 )
Other financial items, net:                
Foreign exchange gain (loss)     3       (3 )
Bank charges and fees and other     (4 )      
Total other financial items, net:     (1 )     (3 )
Total financial income (expense), net   $ (8,794 )   $ (1,791 )

 

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included interest expense of $2,890 and $2,089, respectively, on loans due to owners and affiliates (note 9). The gain (loss) on derivative financial instruments related to the interest rate swaps (note 11).

 

5. Income tax

 

Income tax expense has been prepared for the Combined entities on a separate returns basis. Höegh LNG Colombia Ltd. and Höegh LNG FSRU VI Ltd. are not liable for income taxes to the Cayman Islands. In addition, the subsidiary of Höegh LNG that owned the newbuilding prior to the transfer to Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd. is not subject to income taxes. The activities of Höegh LNG Colombia S.A.S. are subject to income tax in Colombia at a combined corporate tax rate of 40%. As of September 30, 2016, Höegh LNG Colombia S.A.S. had a tax loss carryforward of $221 which will be carried forward indefinitely. The deferred tax asset for the tax loss carryforward was $88 as of September 30, 2016.

 

A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the benefit will not be realized based on consideration of all the positive and negative evidence. Given the lack of historical operations in Colombia, it was concluded a valuation allowance should be established to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount deemed more-likely-than-not of realization. A valuation allowance of $88 was established reducing the deferred tax asset for the tax loss carryforward to zero as of September 30, 2016.

Gallant/Grace facility

 

Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd., the owner of the Höegh Grace, together with Höegh LNG Cyprus Limited, the owner of Höegh Gallant, are borrowers (the “Borrowers”) under a term loan facility (the “Gallant/Grace facility”) with a syndicate of banks and an export credit agency for purpose of financing a portion of the Höegh Grace and the Höegh Gallant. As of December 31, 2015, the Höegh Grace had not been delivered from the shipyard and no amounts had been drawn related to the Höegh Grace. The Höegh Grace was delivered from the shipyard on March 30, 2016 and, accordingly, amounts were outstanding as of September 30, 2016 related to the Höegh Grace. The Höegh Gallant was delivered from the shipyard on November 4, 2014 and, accordingly, amounts were outstanding as of December 31, 2015 and as of September 30, 2016 related to the Höegh Gallant.

 

The facility is secured by, among other things, a first priority mortgage of the Höegh Grace and the Höegh Gallant, an assignment of Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd.’s rights under the ILA with SPEC, an assignment of Höegh LNG Colombia S.A.S.’s rights under the OSA with SPEC, an assignment of Hoegh LNG Cyprus Limited’s rights under the time charter with Höegh LNG Egypt LLC (“EgyptCo”), a 100% owned subsidiary of Höegh LNG, the assignment of EgyptCo’s rights under its time charter with Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (“EGAS”), the assignment of bank guarantees for the performance of SPEC and EGAS under the time charter and a pledge of the Borrower’s, Höegh LNG Colombia S.A.S.’s and EgyptCo’s cash accounts. There is a pledge of shares as security for the facility in Höegh LNG Colombia Holding Ltd., Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd., Höegh LNG Colombia S.A.S., Höegh LNG FSRU III Ltd., Hoegh LNG Cyprus Limited and EgyptCo. As of September 30, 2016, Höegh LNG, Höegh LNG Partners LP (the “Partnership”), Höegh LNG Colombia Holding Ltd. and Höegh LNG FSRU III Ltd. are guarantors for the facility.

 

The Gallant/Grace facility includes one commercial tranche and one export credit tranche related to the Höegh Grace (the “Grace facility”) and includes two commercial tranches and one export credit tranche related to the Höegh Gallant (the “Gallant facility”). All of the tranches under the Gallant/Grace facility are cross-defaulted, cross-collateralized (except that the banks cannot enforce any of their rights to the security provided by Hoegh LNG Cyprus Limited, Höegh LNG FSRU III Ltd., the Partnership or EgyptCo unless an event of default occurs directly and expressly with respect to the Partnership, its subsidiaries or EgyptCo and its direct shareholders) and cross-guaranteed (except that the Partnership does not guarantee the obligations of Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd). The obligations of the Borrowers are joint and several.

 

The interest rates vary by tranche. The commercial tranche related to the Grace facility has an interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 2.7% based on the facility agreement. The interest rate for the export credit tranche related to the Grace facility has a fixed interest rate and guarantee commission of 4.07% based on the facility agreement. The commercial tranche is repayable quarterly with a final balloon payment of $123 million due in June 2020. The export credit tranche will be repayable in quarterly installments with the final payment in March 2028 assuming the balloon payments of the commercial tranches are refinanced. If not, the export credit agent can exercise a prepayment right for repayment of the outstanding balance of $24 million upon maturity of the commercial tranche.

 

Commitment fees for the Grace facility are 1.08% and 0.72% of the undrawn portions of the commercial tranche and the export credit tranche, respectively. There is no unused portion of the commercial tranche and the export credit tranche as of September 30, 2016. There are no other lines of credit or revolving credit facilities for short- or long-term financing as of September 30, 2016.

Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd. will be required to maintain the current assets to current liabilities covenant when it begins it long term charter with SPEC. The Gallant/Grace facility includes provisions which come into effect in the event that Höegh LNG Partners LP acquires the Höegh Grace. In such an event, Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd. will be required to maintain the covenant for the ratio of EBITDA to debt service.

 

In addition, a security maintenance ratio based on the aggregate market value of the Höegh Grace, the Höegh Gallant and any additional security must be at least 125% of the aggregate outstanding loan balance.

 

If the security maintenance ratio is not maintained, the relevant Borrower has 30 days to provide more security or to repay part of the loan to be in compliance with the ratio no later than 30 days after notice from the lenders.

 

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Höegh LNG, Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd. and Hoegh LNG Cyprus Limited were in compliance with the financial covenants under the Gallant/Grace facility. No financial covenants were applicable for the Grace facility for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Under the Gallant/Grace facility, cash accounts are freely available for the use of the Borrowers, unless there is an event of default. Cash can be distributed as dividends or to service loans of owners and affiliates provided that after the distribution the Borrowers would remain in compliance with the financial covenants and security maintenance ratio. The Gallant/Grace facility limits, among other things, the ability of each of the Borrowers to change its business, sell or grant liens on its property including the Höegh Grace, incur additional indebtedness or guarantee other indebtedness, make investments or acquisitions and enter into intercompany debt that is not subordinated to the Gallant/Grace facility.

   September 30,   December 31, 
(in thousands of U.S. dollars)  2016   2015 
Loans and promissory notes due to owners and affiliates  $133,146   $102,298 

 

Höegh LNG and its affiliates have provided loans and promissory notes for the construction of the Höegh Grace. The loans and promissory notes bear interest at three month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.5% until August 31, 2015 and 2.7% as of September 1, 2015, based upon the applicable intercompany loan agreement. The loans and promissory notes accrued interest are payable on demand.

 

Prior to transfer of the Höegh Grace to Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd. and the establishment of the loans on March 30, 2016, the carve-out financial statements included an allocation of loans and interest expense from a subsidiary of Höegh LNG for the funding of construction of the Höegh Grace.

 

On March 30, 2016, the Höegh Grace and associated net assets were transferred from a subsidiary of Höegh LNG to Höegh LNG FSRU IV Ltd. for consideration in the form of a $103.9 million promissory note valued as the transfer price of the FSRU less the acquired long-term debt (refer to note 8). The transfer was accounted for as a common control transaction and the assets and liabilities were recorded at the carryover basis of Höegh LNG.

 

10. Financial instruments

 

Fair value measurements

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

 

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash – The fair value of the cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates its carrying amounts reported in the combined carve-out balance sheets.

 

Loans and promissory notes due to owners and affiliates – The fair values of the variable-rate loans and promissory notes approximates their carrying amounts of the liabilities and accrued interest reported in the combined carve-out balance sheets since the amounts are payable on demand. Refer to note 9.

 

Grace facility – The fair values of the variable rate debt are estimated based on the present value of cash flows over the term of the instruments based on the estimated currently available margins and LIBOR interest rates as of the balance sheet date for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities and the current credit worthiness of the Combined Entities.

 

Derivative financial instruments – The fair values of the interest rates swaps are estimated based on the present value of cash flows over the term of the instrument based on the relevant LIBOR interest rate curves, adjusted for the Combined entities credit worthiness and the credit worthiness of the counterparty to the derivative, as appropriate.

 

The fair value estimates are categorized by a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value as follows:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

11. Risk management and concentrations of risk

 

Derivative instruments can be used in accordance with the overall risk management policy.

 

Foreign exchange risk

 

All revenues, financing, interest expenses from financing and expenditures for newbuilding are denominated in U.S. dollars. Certain operating expenses can be denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. For the periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and December 31, 2015, no derivative financial instruments have been used to manage foreign exchange risk.

 

Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate swaps can be utilized to exchange a receipt of floating interest for a payment of fixed interest to reduce the exposure to interest rate variability on outstanding floating-rate debt. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there are interest rate swap agreements and forward starting interest rate swap agreements, respectively, on the Grace facility floating rate debt that are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

(1)Excludes the margins paid on the floating-rate debt.

 

(2)All interest rate swaps are U.S. dollar denominated and principal amount reduces quarterly following the draw down of the facility and the start of quarterly repayments.

 

In April 2014, the Borrower of the Grace facility entered three forward starting swap agreements with an effective date of March 31, 2015 for a forecast first repayment date on June 30, 2015. The swaps amortized to match the outstanding balance of the commercial tranche of the Grace facility down to the balloon payment at the end of the five year term and exchanged 3 month USD LIBOR variable interest payments for fixed rate payments ranging from 2.305% to 2.311%. The interest rate swaps were designated for accounting purposes as cash flow hedges of the variable interest payments for the commercial tranche of the Grace facility.

 

Due to delays in the delivery date of the Höegh Grace, an amendment of the availability period under the Grace Facilities extended the period to draw down the credit facilities to the new delivery date of the Höegh Grace in 2016 but did not extend the final maturity of the loan. As a result, the interest rate swaps were also amended in 2015 to match the new forecast repayment dates of the Grace facility for a cash settlement of $3.2 million which resulted in a realized loss on the amendment of $0.9 million. The effective dates of the amended interest rate swap become March 31, 2016 with a four year term. The fixed rate payment rates were unchanged and, as of the effective date, the notional amount will equal the amortized notional amount under the original swaps. The original interest rate swaps were de-designated for accounting purposes and the amended interest rate swaps were re-designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes of the variable interest payments for the commercial tranche of the Grace facility.

 

The following table presents the location and fair value amounts of derivative instruments, segregated by type of contract, on the combined carve-out balance sheets.

The realized loss relates to the loss on the interest rate swap amendment for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The unrealized loss mainly relates to the amortization of interest rate swap amount excluded from hedge effectiveness for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. 

 

As of September 30, 2016, the estimated amounts to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings during the next twelve months is $1.1 million for amortization of accumulated other comprehensive income for losses on the de-designated interest rate swap.

 

The effect of cash flow hedges relating to interest rate swaps on other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and changes in accumulated OCI in the combined carve-out statements of changes in owner’s equity is as follows for the periods ended and as of September 30, 2016 and 2015:

Balance as of September 30, 2015       $(7,127)

 

There are no income tax effects on the interest rate swaps.

 

Credit risk and concentrations of risk

 

Credit risk is the exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties related to cash and cash equivalents, amounts due from owners and affiliates and interest rate swap agreements. In order to minimize counterparty risk, bank relationships are established with counterparties with acceptable credit ratings at the time of the transactions. Periodic evaluations are performed of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions. In addition, exposure is limited by diversifying among counter parties. There is a single charterer for the vessel so there will be a concentration of risk related to trade receivables when the vessel’s time charter commences. Additionally, credit risk related to trade receivables is managed by performing ongoing credit evaluations of the customer’s financial condition. No collateral or other security is required.
