Please refer to clause 4.4 Valuer Assessed Value Assessment Date (Baht: Million) Ernst & Young Corporate 6,303-6, January 2013 Services Limited Capital Advantage Co., Ltd. 6,656-6,830 6 February 2013 Revenue Structure and Operating Results 1. Revenue Structure 1.1 Revenue from sale of power to EGAT EGAT is the largest customer of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2. In 2012, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 received revenue from sales of power to EGAT equivalent to 45.0% and 1.2% of their total revenue. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 entered into long term power purchasing agreements with EGAT with the term of 21 years, ending 16 September 2019 and on 27 September 2022 respectively. Those aforementioned agreements are power purchasing agreement for small
7 7 power producers ("SPP"), having standard form with similar substance among each small power producer. Under the agreement, a small power producer shall be responsible for its activities financial resources, construction, commissioning, power distribution, repair and maintenance of its power plant. EGAT is a public enterprise, established under the Power Generating Authority of Thailand Act, having a major role in Thai power business. EGAT is the sole purchaser of wholesale power, the operator of nation power distribution system, and is the largest power producer in Thailand. As of December 2012, Its gross capacity is 15,010 megawatts. Furthermore, its financial position is solid as, at present, shares of EGAT are wholly owned by the Ministry of Finance. In 2012, EGAT is the second highest income earner while PTT PLC. was the top earner. As of 31 March 2013, Standard & Poor's rated EGAT 'BBB+' which is a credit rating at the same level of the rating assigned to Thailand with stable credit trand B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 have good relationship with EGAT over 10 years during the operation period. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 have strictly complied with the terms of the relevant power purchasing agreements and are prepared to give full cooperation to EGAT in resolving any potential issues at all times. Revenue structure under the power purchasing agreements entered into with EGAT consists of capacity payment and power payment. (1) Capacity Payment Subject to the capacity payment agreements, EGAT has the obligation to make a monthly minimum capacity payment at the specified rate in accordance with the capacity volume under the agreements, equivalent to 90 megawatts (B.Grimm 1) and 90 megawatts (B.Grimm 2), on a monthly basis. Such volume is the highest capacity volume that a small power producer may sell to EGAT which is the availability to produce power, regardless of whether or not EGAT instructed the power producer to operate electric generator and purchased power. As power production cost partially varies in accordance with USD exchange rate, 80% of capacity payment is based on USD exchange rate. That is, EGAT would pay B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 a difference between actual exchange rate and basic exchange rate (basic exchange rate is Baht 27/ USD) in order to reduce risk from exchange rate volatility. (2) Power Payment Power payment is consideration payable by EGAT to B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 for the production and distribution of power in accordance with instructions to start the electric generator given by EGAT. Power payment covers fuel cost for the production and variable cost incurred in running the generator and repair and maintenance provided to the power plants. With respect to power payment which covers fuel cost will be based on natural gas price in the base year. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 applied 2 August 1995 as the base year, in which year natural gas price was Baht per million BTU. That is, EGAT would pay the difference of actual natural gas price and gas price in the base year, with the heat rate of 8,600 BTU/KW per hour. This reduces gas price volatility risk for B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm
8 8 2. EGAT has fixed minimum power volume to purchase from B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 in each month. 1.2 Revenue from sale of power to industrial users. In 2012, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 received revenue from sale of power to industrial users equivalent to 53.9% and 56.4% of their total revenue respectively. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 entered into their respective long-term power purchasing agreements with industrial users. Generally, the term of the agreement is 15 years from the commencement date of agreement. Industrial users may express their wish to renew the agreement for the period of not less than 3 years but not more than 5 years each time. This is a normal standard of power plant business which enters into an agreement with an industrial user. Such agreement term enables B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 to maintain stability of their cash flow, to find potential customers, to be able to amend conditions or adjust price in the renewed agreement to be in line with economic situation at the moment. At present, the remaining terms of the agreements to sell power and steam to industrial users range approximately 3 years to 5 years. Over 10 years of their power plant operation, industrial users customers of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 have a tendency to continue buying power and steam from them. Most of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 industrial users in Amata Nakorn Industrial Estates are medium and large industrial works manufacturing automobile parts and relevant products, steel, metals or plastic manufacturers, and electronic parts manufacturers. Most of them are companies with solid financial standing, good reputation. Several of them are subsidiaries or associated companies of multi-national corporation. B.Grimm 1's and B.Grimm 2's policies to sell power to industrial users focus on capability to produce power with quality and reliability, and provision of good services. The foregoing are factors are crucial to industrial users intending to receive dependable electric currents, with prevention of probable power failure which may adversely affect production process of those industrial users. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 arrange engineering teams available 24 hours a day to take action. Those arrangements are to guarantee power quality and ensure industrial users' satisfaction in order to continually maintain and expand their customer base. The main target group of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 is industrial users with high and consistent power demand. Consequently, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 may accurately anticipate power consumption demand and precisely design production plan. This will be factors that optimize efficiency of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 power production. A basic revenue structure under power purchasing agreements entered into with industrial users is based on an power tariff imposed on large business by PEA. Discount may be provided depending on negotiation between B.Grimm 1, B.Grimm 2 and their industrial users. A basic revenue structure consists of demand charge, power charge, service fee, power charge under an automatic tariff adjustment formula (FT), reactive power charge (if any) and discount (if any).
9 9 (1) Demand charge Demand charge is based on PEA power charge. Power charge reflects the investment of PEA, such as, investment in power plant construction, transmission system and distribution system to ensure availability of power supply distribution upon consumer's demand. (2) Power charge Power charge is based on PEA power charge which reflects cost of fuels consumed in producing power, and in accordance with actual power consumption. (3) Service fee Service fee is based on a prevailing tariff published by PEA imposed during the term of the relevant agreement. (4) Power charge based on an automatic tariff adjustment formula or FT Power charge based on an automatic tariff adjustment formula or FT is in the same rate imposed by PEA from general users. The FT will be calculated from variable cost of EGAT in the purchase of fuels to produce and purchase power including transmission and generating cost and other variable costs, such as, currency exchange rate, inflation rate. Office of the Energy Regulatory Commission is in charge of reviewing and determining an automatic adjustment formula or FT. (5) Reactive power charge (if any) B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 determine power factor to control efficiency and power loss in transmission and generating system. Users are required to pay the difference if they fail to comply with the determined value. (6) Discount (if any) B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 provide to industrial users a discount on power payment at the determined percentage in comparison to EGAT power payment as incentive discount. As of 31 March 2013, agreements entered into between B.Grimm 1, and B.Grimm 2 and industrial users are: B.Grimm 1 entered into 40 power sale and purchase agreements with 35 industrial users - total power of megawatts, and a steam sale and purchase agreement - 6 tons per hours. B.Grimm 2 entered into 47 power sale and purchase agreements with 39 industrial users - total power of megawatts, and three steam sale and purchase agreements - 19 tons per hours In 2012, the ratios of revenue from sale of power to top ten industrial users of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 are as follows:
10 10 Revenue from Sale of Power to top 10 industrial users B.Grimm 1 B.Grimm 2 Per revenue from the sale of power to industrial users 64% 50% Per total revenue 35% 26% Top 10 industrial users of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 in 2011 (ordered by revenue) No. B.Grimm 1 B.Grimm 2 1 Siam Toyota Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

Mitsubishi Electric Consumer Products (Thailand) Limited 3 AGC Techno Glass (Thailand) Limited Calsonic Kansei (Thailand) Co., Ltd. 4 Yamaha Motor Parts Manufacturing (Thailand) Thai Tohken Thermo Co., Ltd. Co., Ltd. 5 Colgate-Palmolive (Thailand) Limited Asahi Tec Aluminium (Thailand) Co., Ltd. 6 Srithai Superware PCL. Niles (Thailand) Co., Ltd. 7 Asahi Tec Aluminium (Thailand) Co., Ltd. TRW Fuji Serina Co., Ltd. 8 Daikin Industries (Thailand) Ltd. NSK Bearing Manufacturing (Thailand) Ltd. 9 Denso (Thailand) Co., Ltd. Denso (Thailand) Co., Ltd. 10 Cobra International Co., Ltd. Toyoda Gosei (Thailand) Co., Ltd Revenue from sale of steam In 2012, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 gained revenue from sale of steam to industrial users, equivalent to 0.2% and 1.7% of total revenue of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, respectively. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 entered into their respective long-term agreements with industrial users with the agreement term of average 5 years. Basic revenue structure under steam sale and purchase agreement with industrial users consists of thermal power cost and water supply cost. (1) Thermal power costs Thermal power costs consist of capacity cost and power cost. Minimum capacity cost payable by industrial users must be paid at the rate determined for the month, based on the steam volume set out in the agreement. Power cost covers fuel costs, based on natural gas price of the month. (2) Water supply cost Industrial users will pay water supply cost at the rate set out in the relevant agreement. Water supply cost is based on a producer price index, divided in accordance with production activity of the business in the specified year. A producer price index indicates changes of average product price which domestic producer receives from sale of goods ex-factory, exclusive of transportation cost and VAT.
11 11 As of 31 December 2012, B.Grimm 1 entered into a steam sales agreement with: Sermsuk Beverage Co., Ltd. As of 31 December 2012, B.Grimm 2 entered into steam sales agreements with: Colgate-Palmolive (Thailand) Limited; Sermsuk Beverage Co., Ltd.; and Thai Daizo Aerosol Co., Ltd. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 determined the price by offering discount from cost avoidable by customers if they purchase steam from B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 instead of producing steam by themselves ("Avoided Cost"). The foregoing determination method is efficient and provide good profit rate Revenue from sale of power among B.Grimm 1, B.Grimm 2 and B. Grimm 3 Sales of power among B.Grimm 1, B.Grimm 2 and B. Grimm 3 will be calculated based on the same calculation formula, consisting of 2 rates: a peak demand rate and off-peak rate. In principle, a revenue structure pertaining to sales of power among B.Grimm 1, B.Grimm 2 and B. Grimm 3 is to divide profits among the companies that produces power and the companies that sells power, based on an average price offered to EGAT or industrial users of B.Grimm 1, B.Grimm 2 and B. Grimm 3. Technical consultants would review such pricing formula and the formula would apply if found appropriate Revenue from provision of public utility services For 2012, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 earned revenue from provision of public utility services, equivalent to 0.4% and 0.1% of total revenue of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 respectively. As B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 share public utilities systems, they entered into a joint public utility agreement. Under such agreement, B.Grimm 1 owns and provides to B.Grimm 2 the services of public utilities systems, consisting of water pump stations and water tanks for fire prevention, buildings for administration work, work stations and warehouse for tools and equipment storage, a control room, fences, access to and within B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 power plants, PTT connected natural gas pipe located in B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, meter stations, wastewater treatment station, treatment facilities and chemicals, diesel reserve tanks, diesel generators, telecommunications systems within those power plants, 115 KW power cables, and a steam distribution station. While B.Grimm 2 owns and provides to B.Grimm 1 the service of a station distributing power to industrial users in Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate. B.Grimm 3 which started its commercial operation on 29 September 2012 entered into a joint public utility agreement with B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 which own the foregoing systems. A structure of revenue from provision of public utilities services consists:
12 12 (1) Machinery and facilities fees B.Grimm 3 agrees to pay fees for the provision of public utilities services, i.e.: machinery and facilities, on a monthly basis, in the amount of Baht 293,000 per month to B.Grimm 1, and Baht 215,000 per month to B.Grimm 2 for the period of 25 years, ending 17 October 2035; and (2) Special fees 1.6. Other revenue If the machinery and facilities need special repair or maintenance, other than a regular maintenance, B. Grimm 3 would be jointly responsible with B.Grimm 1 and/or B.Grimm 2 for the expenses incurred in the amount equivalent to 21.06% thereof. In 2012, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 earned the remaining revenue from proceeds of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, and other revenue incurred indirectly to core business of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, equivalent to 0.5% and 0.5% of total revenue of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 respectively. However, other revenue is not deemed a part of income of the Mutual Fund and would not be assessed in the value assessment of the infrastructure business in which the Mutual Fund would be invested. 2. Operating Expenses Structure 2.1. Production cost B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 production cost consists of natural gas expense, water supplies fee, power purchase fee between B.Grimm 1, B.Grimm 2 and B. Grimm 3, power reserve supply fee with PEA. Natural gas expense is a major production cost of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2's operation. In 2012, production cost of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 was equivalent to 82.1% and 85.1% of their operation costs respectively while the natural gas expense was equivalent to 87% and 97% of the production cost of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 respectively Expenses under management and maintenance agreement with B. Grimm Power Service The management and maintenance agreement entered into with Amata B.Grimm Service expired on 31 December B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 agreed with Amata B. Grimm Service to relocate personnel of Amata B. Grimm Service, having knowledge and skills in managing as well as understanding technologies of the power plants owned by B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, to be employees of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2. Personnel of these companies would be distinctly separated. The foregoing approach is intended to cut down management procedures, allow personnel to speedily work on repair/maintenance processes and also allow B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 to control performance quality of those personnel which then would enhance production efficiency and result in production and sale of high quality power and steam. This would also reduce certain operating costs as those personnel would be employees of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, not Amata B. Grimm Service as well as boosting profitability of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2. From and on 1 January 2013, expenses mentioned in this clause would no longer be incurred.
13 Repair and maintenance costs Power plant repair and maintenance costs are not included in the management and maintenance agreement. The power plant repair and maintenance costs are as specified in the maintenance program plan. In 2012, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 had such repair and maintenance costs in the amounts equivalent to 2.9% and 2.5% of their operating costs respectively. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 pay special attention to power plant repair and maintenance which is one of major operation in power plant business. This ensures that B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 power plants can operate uninterruptedly with sufficient efficiency to produce power in accordance with the terms of the long-term power purchasing agreements. Maintenance program plan includes a hot gas path inspection program which will be carried out every 3 years and a major overhaul program every 3 to 6 years, based on a maintenance standard of each machinery. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 would at their own cost engage suppliers to supply spare parts for the maintenance. The most recent major overhaul program for B.Grimm 1 power plant was carried out in 2012 for gas turbine generator I. B.Grimm 1 plans to carry out next major overhaul program for gas turbine generator II in The most recent major overhaul program was carried out by B.Grimm 2 in 2012 for its gas turbine generator II and III. B. Grimm 1 plans to carry out next major overhaul program for its gas turbine generator I in When the maintenance is needed, B.Grimm 1 will use power generator from Siemens AG Limited and will engage an independent supplier to provide spare parts and repair its facilities. While, B.Grimm 2 had entered into an agreement with GE Thailand Limited ("GE"), the manufacturer of B.Grimm 2's power generator to provide spare parts, repair its facilities and provide technical supports. The term of such agreement covers the term of the power purchasing agreements made with EGAT, and the Revenue Sharing Agreement entered into by B.Grimm 2. GE's scope of services covers planned maintenance, encompassing of a major overhaul program and an unplanned maintenance. The agreement is intended to build confidence in quality of B Grimm 2's spare part inventory and to reduce operating costs incurred in spare part storage and spare part prices. A limit on annual maximum increased rates set out in the agreement allows B. Grimm 2 to project cost of e maintenance service in advance throughout the agreement term, as well as increasing quality of the production of power and steam as GE guarantees the quality of spare parts supplied by it, as well as guaranteeing efficiency of the operation. This is to ensure that the power plant will produce power uninterruptedly and with efficiency to achieve the goal. B. Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 entered into a power reserve sale and purchase agreement with PEA in order to distribute power supply to industrial users during the course of the maintenance service, in order to ensure that the industrial users will receive uninterrupted distribution of power and minimize potential interruption to their machinery Overhead Overhead consists of contribution to the power development fund established under the notification of the Energy Regulatory Commission RE: Submission of Contributions to Power Development Fund for Power Generating Business Licensees B.E (2010) at the rate of Baht 0.01 per unit produced, contributions to the power development fund under section 97 (1) of Energy Business Act B.E (2007) to subsidize power fee for the underprivileged, at the rate of Baht 0.12 per unit produced, power

As of 31 December 2012, debt-to-equity ratio of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 is equivalent to 0.6 and 0.8 respectively. Prior to the investment of the Mutual Fund in assets of the infrastructure business under the Revenue Sharing Agreement, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 will amend their refinance agreements by extending the repayment period, thus, the full payment will be made by 2018 and 2019 respectively. Following the amendment to the refinance agreements, B.Grimm 1 debt to equity ratio will increase to 0.96 and B.Grimm 2 to 1.2, exclusive of other liabilities under the Revenue Sharing Agreement. In order to minimize volatility of cash flow initially transferred to the Mutual Fund, additional loans will be used for a major overhaul program to be carried out in Once the Mutual Fund is established, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 will reserve funds in money reserve list for the major overhaul program on order to minimize volatility of cash flow transferred to the Mutual Fund. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 have financial limitation under the refinance agreement which bars B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 from incurring more debts. Under the draft long-term financial institutions loan agreement to be entered into between B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, 3 Thai commercial banks and 2 foreign banks, the details of credit facilities are:
18 18 long-term credit facilities of Bath 1,967 million for refinancing of the existing loans, money reserve for the major overhaul expense and for the investment cost of the power plant in ; long-term credit facilities of USD 24.3 million for refinancing of the existing loans; revolving credit facilities with guarantee agreement of Baht 365 Million for operation and borrower's obligation guarantee between EGAT and PEA; and revolving credit facilities of Baht 490 million for working capital, including overdraft, short-term loans, guarantee letters, letters of credit and trust receipts. Thai and foreign commercial banks have applied financial terms on B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 under the relevant credit facilities agreement as follows: (a) the debt to equity ratio (D/E) may not exceed 2:1; (b) (c) the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) may not less than 1.1:1; and B. Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 may transfer cash surplus from the bank accounts specified by the creditors, and may share the revenue from power business to the Mutual Fund only if the DSCR is not less than 1.2:1 or with the written consent by the creditors; and Net debt per earnings before proceeds, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Net debt/ebitda) may not exceed 3.5:1. In the event that the security under the agreements are enforced, the Mutual Fund is entitled to receive payment after other creditors.

Total revenue of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 have constantly increased. In 2012, approximately 98% of total revenue came from sale of power in which 44% of such amount was earned through sale of power to EGAT and 56% of such amount was earned through sale of power to industrial users. In 2012, earnings before corporate income tax and earnings before depreciation and amortization margin (EBITDA margin) is equivalent to 13.9% and 15.4%. B.Grimm 2 was granted tax privilege for 8 years under the investment promotion certificate issued by the Board of Investment. The tax privilege for block 2.0 of B.Grimm 2 was expired in June However, such tax privilege was further granted and expired in March 2013 as production efficiency with respect to energy and environment was improved. The investment promotion certificate granted to B.Grimm 2 for block 2.1 will expire in August In 2012, B.Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2's growth rates of revenue from power sale, equivalent to 12% and 10%, are less than the growth rates of their production cost, equivalent to 16% and 20%. The main reason of the increase of production cost is due to the increase of gas price while the adjustment of FT was delayed. As FT adjustment did not take place in the first half of the year, thus, there is no effect on the revenue. Even though, the FT was adjusted up Baht 0.3 in June, and up by Baht 0.18 to Baht 0.48 in September 2012, net profit of B.Grimm 1 had increased from that its net profit recorded in While, net profit of B.Grimm 2 had dropped because B.Grimm 2 planned to carry out its major overhaul program in 2012 with expenses exceeding Baht 100 million under the maintenance program which was carried out every 3 years - 6 years. Upon the establishment of the Fund, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 will set up reserve list in order to minimize volatility of their cash flow. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 must maintain their debt service recovery rate not less than 1.1:1 under the refinance agreements; otherwise, such failure shall be deemed a default of payment. If B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 wish to transfer cash surplus from the accounts specified by the creditors and transfer the
22 22 revenue from power business to the Mutual Fund, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 must have their debt service recovery rate not less than 1.2:1 under the credit facilities agreement and the refinance agreements. In 2012, the debt service recovery rates of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 are equivalent to 1.4 and 1.0, respectively.

23 23 Subject to the power purchasing agreements entered into with EGAT, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 are required to sell power to EGAT at a volume equivalent to 90 megawatts. If B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 fail to comply with the power purchasing agreements, they must pay a fine set out in the agreements. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 occasionally sold power to EGAT at a volume less than 90 megawatts; hence, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 were liable for the fine in an amount equivalent to 20% of the power volume which is lower than 90 megawatts. Previously, average power price charged to industrial users was higher than the price charged to EGAT. The financial statements were affected as the revenue from sale of power to EGAT would reduce as a result of the drop of sales volume and the fine, while the revenue from sale of power to industrial users would increase. EGAT also requires that thermal energy used for the thermal process or steam production process be at least 10% and the efficiency value of power production from the production process be not less than 45%. During the last four years, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 paid fines (steam fines) imposed to EGAT because thermal energy used for the thermal process failed to reach 10%, in an amount equivalent to 50% of the capacity payment paid by EGAT to B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 over the year, multiplied by the ratio equivalent to the difference of the specified thermal energy required and the actual energy produced by B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2. This would affect expenses in relation to standard management fees recorded in the financial statements. However, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 were not subject to a fine imposed on the efficiency of power production from the production process during the past four years. Value of Assets and Assessed Value 1. Assessed value of the infrastructure business assets, in which the Mutual Fund will be invest, prepared by valuers: Valuer Assessed Value Assessment Date (Baht: Million) Ernst & Young Corporate Services Co., Ltd. 6,303-6, January 2013 Capital Advantage Co., Ltd. 6,656-6,830 6 February Approaches and significant assumptions applied in the assessment by valuer No. 1, Ernst & Young Corporate Services Co., Ltd. With respect to the assessment, the valuer applied the approach based on income less expenses of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, specified in the Revenue Sharing Agreement (the income approach). Calculation method of the net present value of income which are cash flows (discounted cash flow analysis) is a significant assumption applied to valuing the assets in the assessment report. As the establishment date of the Infrastructure Fund was scheduled for 1 February 2013, the projections of cash flows for the Infrastructure Fund would be, in case of B.Grimm 1, projections for the period starting 1 February 2013 and ending 16 September 2019, approximately 7 years, and incase of B.Grimm 2, projections for the period starting 1 February 2013 and ending 27 September 2022, approximately 10 years according to the expiration of the power purchasing agreement made with EGAT or the expiration of the Revenue Sharing Agreement. The significant assumptions include: revenue of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 consisting of revenue from sale of power to EGAT, sale of power and steam to industrial users, and joint public utility service;
24 24 growth rates of revenue from sale of power to EGAT are at -3.5% to 11.8% for B.Grimm 1, and -3.3% to 8.9% for B.Grimm 2; growth rates of revenue from sale of power to industrial users are at 2.0% to 6.5% for B.Grimm 1 and 2.1% to 9.4% for B.Grimm 2, from the assessment date until the expiration of the Revenue Sharing Agreement; major cost of sales, consisting of fuel costs, costs of power purchased from related parties, operating and maintenance costs, sales expense and administrative expense. Fuel costs are the highest cost of sales, equivalent to 72% to 77% of B.Grimm 1 total revenue, and 67% to 73% of B.Grimm 2 total revenue; and equivalent to 84% to 89% of B.Grimm 1 total expenses, and 80% to 88% of B.Grimm 2 total expenses. From financial projections of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, assessed value range of Baht billion billion is divided into 2 scenarios based on discount rate which are the discount rate in the event of low particular risk (particular risk = 1%) resulting in high assessed value, and the discount rate in the event of high particular risk (particular risk = 3%) resulting in low assessed value. Particular risks are risks that might happen to B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 which depends on varieties of sources of income compared with comparable companies, controlling rights, time limit of the Infrastructure Fund, power consumption demand risk, secondary mortgage right and arrangements between the Mutual Fund and B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 for risk prevention. The valuer noted that different discount rates are applied to the each relevant period in order to reflect a financial structure risk of each power plant. 3. Approaches and significant assumptions applied for the assessment by valuer No. 2, Capital Advantage Co., Ltd. With respect to the assessment of revenue from the power business, the valuer has applied the discounted cash flow (DCF) approach, by calculating the net present value of cash flows, based on potential revenue from the power business under the Revenue Sharing Agreement during the term of the power purchasing agreement entered in to with the EGAT, including the cash balance at the beginning of the year, at the discount rate. Capital Advantage Co., Ltd. found that the appropriate rate is 6.61% p.er annual. The assessment is made in 2 scenarios: the discount rates are 6.28% per annual and 6.94% per annual according to the discount rate adjusted, up and down, by approximately 5% of said appropriate rate. This is to indicate the sensitivity of the value of the revenue from the power business. The projection period, with respect to B.Grimm 1, starting February 2013 and ending September 2019, and with respect to B.Grimm 2, starting February 2013 and ending September The financial projection of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 is at the range of Baht billion - 6,830 billion.

Future investment As for future investment, the Management Company may consider the additional investment by purchasing agreements in related to the transfer of the interests of the power plants business operations proceeded by other operators or infrastructure business assets on behalf of the Fund, and to seek the interests from infrastructure business assets which additionally invested, and to undertake following investment guideline and management of fund in scope and direction that are consistent with the objectives of the project and investment policy in the initial investment. The Management Company shall take into consideration the proceeds of the Fund as a matter of priority and investment by the Fund shall be consistent with the scope specified by the project. However, in case the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any authorized agencies under the law gives order or issues announcement to require, revise, change, amend, direct or relax or approve the expansion of scope of asset types that the Fund is allowed to invest in; for example, to allow the Fund to invest in assets located outside Thailand or expand the scope in which the Fund is allowed to seek interest from the Mutual Fund's assets. In that case, the Fund shall undertake to follow the instruction or announcement to specify, revise, change, amend, direct or relax or approve the expansion of scope to enable the Fund to expand investment and seek wider range of interests. Prevention of conflicts of interest 1. The Management of Amata B. Grimm Power Co., Ltd. to prevent conflicts of interest between B. Grimm 1, B. Grimm 2 and subsidiaries As Amata B. Grimm Power Co., Ltd. is a shareholder of several power producers located in the Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate, it thus has a clear management guideline for fair income and expense sharing. 1) Reciprocal power sale Amata B. Grimm Power Co., Ltd. has a management structure that includes reciprocal power sale to improve efficiency of power plants. When power plants reciprocate in power production, the power prices are calculated according to formulas as specified in the agreement on reciprocal power sale, which require fair profit-sharing. Such formulas was approved by MOT MacDonald (Thailand) Co., Ltd., which is the technical adviser to the Fund. 2) Shared use of utilities Subsidiaries of Amata B. Grimm Power Co., Ltd. share the use of utilities, for instance, machinery and equipment, including the transmission lines. B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have an arrangement for reciprocal payment for the use of utilities. In this respect, B. Grimm 2 agrees to make reciprocal payment for the use of utilities to B. Grimm 1 in the amount of Baht 1,111,000
61 61 per month, and B. Grimm 1 agrees to make reciprocal payment for the use of utilities to B. Grimm 2 in the amount of Baht 383,000 per month. In addition, B. Grimm 3 shall make reciprocal payment for the use of utilities to B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 in the amount of Baht 293,000 per month and Baht 215,000 per month, respectively. 3) Transfer of manpower from Amata B. Grimm Service Amata B. Grimm Service shall transfer personnel responsible for the management and maintenance of power plants along with facilities to B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 by clearly arrange them to be under command of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2. 4) Competition in sale of power to industrial users by B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 and subsidiaries located in Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate Due to the fact that B.Grimm Power has several small power plants apart from the power plans of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2, this may create the risk to B.Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have from competition with other power plants of their subsidiaries. However, Amata B. Grimm Power Co., Ltd. and the Mutual Fund shall agree to enter into Executed Agreement on non-competition with B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 on condition that such action shall not significantly cause negative impact on the company's performance, financial standing and/or ability to follow the transfer of the interests agreement of B. Grimm 1 and/or B. Grimm 2. Furthermore, the demand for power in the Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate exceeds the combined capacity of all power plants in the industrial estate and power prices do not differ in a significant way nor the use of price competition as a tactic to attract industrial users. 2. Business transactions between the Mutual Fund and related persons, the Management Company shall proceed as followed: 1) In business transactions related to assets belonging to infrastructure business, the Management Company shall undertake to follow the announcement that provides for guideline on actions that may cause conflicts of interest in fund management and additional guidelines as followed: (a) business transactions based on fair pricing; (b) business transactions in which interested parties do not participate in decision making on whether to enter into those transactions; (c) calculation of expenses incurred by entering into the business transactions of Mutual Fund to be fair and appropriate rates. 2) In the following circumstances, the Management Company shall arrange to seek prior approval from the unitholders: (a) to enter into business transactions with related persons on further acquisition or disposal of assets belonging to infrastructure businesses in which the value of assets is not less than Baht 20,000,000 or not less than 3% of the net asset value of the Mutual Fund, whichever value is higher, except in case where the Management Company is required to comply with the agreement or contract with the public sector as specifically required in the Mutual Fund management project; (b) to act, revise or cancel contract related to pursuing of interest from assets belonging to infrastructure businesses, in which value of contract is not less than specified in (a); and
62 62 (c) to agree, acquiesce or exercise voting right to enable company/companies of which the Management Company is a unitholder to enter into business transactions in (a) or (b) with related persons. Environmental impacts Office of the Natural Resources and Environment Policy and Planning Commission approved the Environmental Impact Assessment of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 for the environmental management of the power plants in 1996 and 2010, respectively. In addition, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have each appointed committees to continuously control, monitor and mitigate environmental impacts on air quality, atmospheric noise level and waste water discharge to meet relevant standards. In this respect, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have installed online systems to control the environmental management, monitor problem-solving as well as environmental protection and safety along with the preparation of reports on mitigation and monitoring of the environment, which found no discrepancies or shortcomings and which have also been awarded ISO and TSI certification consistently up to the present. Risk factors Investment in units of the offered Mutual carries risks, investors are advised to consider details of this project carefully, especially risk factors as followed before making the decision to invest in this Mutual Fund. The following information indicates certain significant risk factors that can potentially affect the Mutual Fund or the value of Mutual Fund's units. In addition to the risk factors as indicated in the details of this project, there may also be other risk factors which cannot be foreseen by the Mutual Fund at this time or risk factors deemed by the Mutual Fund at this time as insignificant, which may become significant risk factors in the future. Risk factors detailed in this project documents and future risk factors can have significant impact on the business, business performance and financial position of the Mutual Fund. Description of risk management guideline, risk management measures and/or ability of the Mutual Fund in reducing any of the risks does not serve as guarantee by the Mutual Fund that the Mutual Fund will undertake to implement in all or in part of the risk management measures and does not give assurance that risks specified in the details of the project shall be mitigated or shall not happen. That is because the success and/or ability to reduce risks also depend on other factors that may be beyond the control of the Mutual Fund. This forward-looking statements as detailed in this project document, such as believed to, expected to, plans to, approximately, etc. or financial estimate, future plan, business performance forecast, business expansion plan, change in law governing the conduct of business of the Mutual Fund, government policy and others are forecast of future events which inform the Mutual Fund's present opinion and are by no means a guarantee of the Mutual Fund performance or the realization of those events. In addition, the Mutual Fund performance that is realized may differ significantly from estimates or forecasts. Information in reference to or related to the government or the overall economic outlook of the country is cited from published or excerpted from government publications or other sources that the Mutual Fund has not verified or certified as correctness or accuracy in whatever manner. Since the return on investment in the Infrastructure Fund's units is long-term in nature, investors should not expect short-term return. In addition, the offered price of investment units in the future may rise or fall, consequently investors may not receive the principal of the investment. Therefore, would-be investors are advised to consult professionals and seek advice before making the decision to invest in the
63 63 Infrastructure Fund. Direct risks to the Fund or unitholders 1. General risks General economic and business situations, which cover inflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates, power prices, natural gas prices, the monetary and financial policies of the government, the Bank of Thailand and relevant government agencies as well as political situation can affect the performance, financial position and investment of the Mutual Fund, and economic slowdown in general and reduction in consumer demand can have significant negative impact on the performance and financial position of the Mutual Fund or those of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2, which, in turn, affect the return of the Mutual Fund. 2. Political risk may have an impact the conduct of business, financial position, performance and growth of the Mutual Fund Political change, ideological conflict, political uncertainty may have impact on the economic situation in Thailand along with the Stock Exchange of Thailand; for example, the closure of Suvarnabhumi airport, occupation of Rajprasong business district by protesters. Such political factors may have serious impact on the financial position of the Mutual Fund. There can be no guarantee that political situation in Thailand at present or in the future or any change in political policy of the government shall not have serious impact on the conduct of business, financial position, performance and growth of the Mutual Fund. 3. Risks derived from investment by the Mutual Fund Mutual Fund Managers have studied information on obtaining benefits from future revenue under the agreement on the transfer of the interests of the power business by having conducted due diligence on all related documents and thoroughly considered valuator's report and reports from independent technical experts on the Mutual Fund. However, such actions are by no means guarantee that assets being used in the power production business are without defects or shortcomings that may incur upgrade or maintenance costs. Valuator's report and reports from independent technical experts on the Mutual Fund that the Mutual Fund Managers use as basis for evaluation and examination of assets used in the power production plants may contain shortcomings, errors because certain defects in the assets used in the power production plants are difficult or impossible to detect because of limitations of examination as well as techniques employed in the examination or other factors which limit the examination of valuators and independent technical experts of the Mutual Fund. 4. Risks from change in accounting standards or applicable laws Performance of the Mutual Fund may be impacted by the enforcement of the new accounting standards law or upgrade in accounting standards, which is a factor beyond the control or unforeseen by the Mutual Fund. As for the revision of law, announcement, requirement, regulation, provision, legislation, policy guideline and/or orders given by government agencies or organizations authorized by law along with environmental laws applicable to the conduct of business of the Mutual Fund, tax regimes, tax burden and fees for investment in assets of infrastructure business and other taxation conditions related to proceeds that the Mutual Fund obtains from investment in assets of infrastructure business. These are considered unforeseen events as well. Therefore the Mutual Fund is in no position to make assessment on impacts these changes can cause and to guarantee that such changes will not affect the performance of the Mutual Fund or its ability to pay dividends. Furthermore, net incomes that the Mutual Fund shall receive from B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 under Revenue Sharing Agreement, and
64 64 the Mutual Fund's ability to pay dividends may be affected by guidelines and taxation conditions on specific business tax imposed on the Mutual Fund in entering into the agreement on the transfer of proceeds or for the difference of the relevant period between the proceeds that B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 transfer to the Mutual Fund and the consideration for entering into the agreement to transfer proceeds that the Mutual Fund paid to B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 (the "Difference") and/or income taxes applicable to transactions (which include income taxes of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 incurred in entering into agreement on transfer of proceeds or the recognition of the Difference in the calculation of taxable incomes of B. Grimm 1 and B, Grimm 2). These tax guideline and taxation conditions are considered events that Mutual Fund cannot predict. In this respect, the valuation of assets of infrastructure business by the Mutual Fund was conducted by asset valuation company on the basis of tax guideline that exists at the present time (which does not include other tax burdens related to transactions under Revenue Sharing Agreement) coupled with agreements by B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 to compensate for tax burden of specific business taxes to the Mutual Fund in the amounts that the Mutual Fund is required to pay in case the specific business taxes are incurred on the differentials under contract that the Mutual Fund is to receive. However, while the Revenue Department is in the process of coming up with an opinion on tax burdens related to transactions that B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 entered into with the Mutual Fund, in order to mitigate possible impact from tax guideline and taxation conditions related to differentials under the contract, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 agreed to deposit a reserve Mutual Fund for compensation for tax burden that the Mutual Fund may incur in the amount of 300,000,000 Baht by compensating the tax burdens in the form of fees to the Mutual Fund from the reserve amount that B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 agreed to deposit and maintain in the reserve account (details in accordance with the requirement in the agreement on transfer of proceeds which are summed up in on the reserve account to pay fees of the Mutual Fund) when: (a) in case the opinion given by the Revenue Department on these business transactions to the effect that related tax burdens are specific business taxes and no other income tax burdens related to the entering into the contract (except income taxes that may incur from the proceeds that B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 received from entering into Revenue Sharing Agreement from power business, which is considered income from sale of assets of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 (if applicable)). In addition, the differences under contract (other incomes), the reserve fund that shall be reduced and maintained at 100,000,000 Baht which B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 shall compensate for specific tax burden to the Management Company to make up for shortfall if such amount proves insufficient; or (b) in case in its opinion, the Revenue Department deems that there are other taxable incomes, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 agree to compensate for such tax burden to the Mutual Fund from the aforementioned reserve in the total amount of no more than 300,000,000 Baht. In this respect, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have no obligation to additional compensate the Mutual Fund beyond that reserved amount. The aforementioned reserve shall be maintained until the Revenue Department gives its opinion or issues clear guideline on the transactions under the agreement on transfer of proceeds to ascertain that no other tax burdens exist related to the difference under the agreement, which include specific taxes of the Mutual Fund or other taxes that may relate to the flow of proceeds (interest) from power businesses that the Mutual Fund shall receive under the agreement. 5. Risks related to investment unit (a) price of investment units may change after the initial public offering (b) lack of liquidity in trading of investment units in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (c) the use of net asset value (NAV) of the Mutual Fund in determining the trade in investment units or (d) net asset per investment unit may fall if prices of additional investment units issued and
65 65 offered are lower than net asset value of investment units in the period before the issuing and offering of additional units Following the listing of investment units of the Mutual Fund on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, investment unitholders may encounter some of the following events: (a) Price of investment units may fall after the listing of investment units of the Mutual Fund with the Stock Exchange of Thailand and may not be consistent with the net asset value of the investment unit. The trading prices of investment units depends on several factors, such as performance of the Mutual Fund, fluctuation in trading at the Stock Exchange of Thailand, trade volumes of investment units, impacts from several external factors beyond the control of the Mutual Fund, such as movements or changes in foreign stock exchanges, domestic and foreign interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, direct or indirect policies or measures that affect inbound and outbound foreign currency movements, domestic and international economic situations, general risk factors associated with the conduct of businesses, political factors, fluctuation in private consumption, rules and regulations, taxation and any other policies of the government along with impacts from change in macroeconomic situations, such as introduction of town and city planning, impacts from natural disasters, epidemics, political disturbances, etc. Therefore, investors may not be able to sell investment units at the offered prices or at the price of the net asset value of the investment units, including that the change in the aforementioned external factors may significantly affect the prices of the investment units of the Mutual Fund. (b) Investment units of the Mutual Fund may lack liquidity in trading at the secondary market, depending on frequency and trade volumes of the investment units at the Stock Exchange of Thailand and bid-offer. Demand and supply in bid-offer depends on several factors beyond the control of the Mutual Fund, such as demand of the market. (c) Calculation of net asset value (NAV) of the Mutual Fund that the Management Company publicizes is based on the latest valuation report in determining the assets of the infrastructure businesses. Such value may not reflect the real market value of the assets of the infrastructure businesses. (d) Following the initial public offering, the Mutual Fund may undertake to issue and offer new investment units in subsequent offerings. Such new investment units may be offered at prices lower than the net asset value of the Mutual Fund at any given time, which may cause the net asset value of the Mutual Fund to fall after the issuing and offering of such new investment units. 6. Risks of the infrastructure Mutual Fund in comparison to other types of Mutual Funds The fact that the Infrastructure Fund is required to invest in assets of infrastructure businesses at no less than 75% of the asset value of the Mutual Fund results in investment that is concentrated in assets of infrastructure businesses while other types of Mutual Funds have the policy to distribute investment fund among different types of financial instruments. 7. Risks related to ability to pay dividends by the Mutual Fund Payment of dividends by the Mutual Fund shall be determined by performance of the Mutual Fund and conditions under the Creditors Agreement, including that B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 must have their
66 66 debt service coverage ratio more than or equal to 1.2:1. This depends on several factors, such as domestic and international economic situations, performance of the asset owners who run power businesses, administrative and management cost of running power businesses, other costs which may be higher than estimates as the result of factors, such as rise in tax rates and fees, maintenance costs, repair expenses, insurance premiums, inflation rates and various tax burdens (including corporate income taxes) that may be incurred on the incomes of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2, etc.). More intense competition among power businesses, change in laws and regulations governing electrical power plant businesses, natural disasters, political situations, are risks that investors may not receive dividends as estimated. Ability of the Mutual Fund to pay dividends depends on fluctuation in the cash flow that the Mutual Fund will receive from interest transferred from the power businesses. Although B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 can transfer part of the risk from fluctuation in natural gas prices, which is a key production cost in power businesses to the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand and industrial users through automatic tariff adjustment formula, in which tariff is adjusted relative to natural gas prices to reduce impacts on fluctuation of interest from the power plants businesses of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 and the ability of the Mutual Fund to pay dividends, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 offers no guarantee on cash flow that the Mutual Fund shall receive through transfer of proceeds from the power businesses and the Mutual Fund also offers no guarantee on dividend payments. 8. Risks from dependence on the management of power businesses by B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 The Mutual Fund carries risks from dependence on the management, maintenance costs of the electrical power plants and expertise of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 to meet general production efficiency standards. If the electrical power plants are unable to maintain production efficiency standards, such as level of transmission preparedness is lower than specified, the power plants will be subject to fines payable to the EGAT, or in worst case could have their contracts be terminated. Since B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 entered into the power businesses more than 10 years ago until the present, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have consistently met the general production efficiency standards of thermal power co-production as specified by the power sale and purchase agreement made with the EGAT. In addition, the Management Company has put in place measures to mitigate such risks under which Amata B. Grimm Power Co., Ltd. entered into an agreement with the Mutual Fund to conduct business in accordance with the engineering professional standards, national industrial standards, which are widely recognized as Prudent Utility Practice, along with a clause in the agreement on non-competition with B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2. Moreover, by holding a stake in the Mutual Fund, Amata B. Grimm Power Co., Ltd. helps control the management efficiency of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 to keep it at a satisfactory level and to be able to make profits for B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2. In this respect, Amata B. Grimm Power Co., Ltd. and/or the same parties that belong to Amata B. Grimm Power Co., Ltd. are also major investment unitholders in the Mutual Fund, at no more than one-third of all subscribed investment units of the Mutual Fund. 9. Risks from financial institutions creditors being primary creditors The Mutual Fund carries risks due to the matter that B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have financial institutions as creditors, and in credit facilities agreements with such financial institution creditors, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 agree to offer collaterals to secure their performance of obligations under the credit facilities agreement, namely mortgaging of land and structures thereon and assets that are key machinery used in their power businesses, transfer of right under insurance policies and endorsements, conditional transfer of right in project documents, conditional assignment of accounts
67 67 receivable, pledge of accounts of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2, whereby those financial institution creditors take priority over other creditors of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2. The Mutual Fund is exposed to risk in the event of default on the part of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 under the loan agreement, which may result in financial institution creditors exercising their rights to seize collaterals, and may result in B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 not being able to operate and transfer proceeds from the power businesses under the agreement made with the Mutual Fund, or in the event of the amount of money received by the Mutual Fund after loan repayment to financial institution creditors is lower than the investment that the Mutual Fund made in entering into agreement on the transfer of proceeds, consequently, the Mutual Fund losing in part or in total the investment made in the agreement on transfer of proceeds. In entering into Revenue Sharing Agreement from power businesses between B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 and the Mutual Fund, the parties agree to enter agreement on mortgaging of land together with structures and assets, main machinery used in the power businesses as collaterals for compliance with Revenue Sharing Agreement from power businesses. However, the Mutual Fund does not have ownership of those assets throughout the period under the terms of Revenue Sharing Agreement, except in the event of enforcement of security resulting from failure to uphold the agreement on transfer of proceeds from the businesses that will give the Mutual Fund the right to seize collaterals. In this respect, the Mutual Fund has a right to seize collaterals is second in priority after financial institution creditors who are secured creditors but the Mutual Fund has priority over other creditors of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm Risks from distribution of cash flow The Mutual Fund is exposed to risks from the fact that creditors of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm are financial institutions. Under loan agreements, financial institution creditors determine the priority of distribution of cash flows of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2. B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 are required to pay administrative fees, loan repayment, interest payment and other fees related to such loans. Moreover, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 are required to set up reserve funds for repayment of loans and interest payment for the next due dates along with reserve funds for planned major maintenance as a matter of priority before transferring of proceeds from power businesses to the Mutual Fund. If the performance of the power businesses do not meet the hypothetical valuation, the proceeds that the Mutual Fund receives may be lower than estimates. B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 shall have the prior written consent from their financial institution creditors every time or shall maintain a ratio of cash balance/the principals and interest payable in the next 6 months greater than 1.2:1. Only in such case that B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 may transfer proceeds from their power businesses to the Mutual Fund. If financial institution creditors take long time in deciding whether to give consent to transfer of proceeds from power businesses to the Mutual Fund, or if cash at hand of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 is insufficient for loan repayment and interest payment in the next 6 months, the Mutual Fund s access to distributed cash flow may be delayed. Moreover, the period required for the transfer of proceeds from power businesses to the Mutual Fund is based on 6-month performance. In considering pay-in, pay-out cycles of the electrical power plants, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have to pay for natural gas to the PTT before they receive payment for power from the EGAT and industrial users, there is a need for cash flow for the mismatched pay-in, pay-out cycles. An example required cash flow of pay-in cycles from sale of power to EGAT and industrial users, pay-out cycles for payment for natural gas to the PTT in the period of 1 to 31 January as followed:
68 68 Due date Payment period Date of payment PTT (pay-out) 10 February 30 days from last date of natural gas consumption Industrial users (payin) 2-5 February 15 days from date of invoice EGAT (pay-in) 2-5 February 30 days from date of invoice EGAT FT (pay-in) February 30 days from the date of invoice 28 February February 2-5 March March Moreover, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have a need to reserve internal cash flow for maintenance even though B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 already have clear maintenance schedules. However, in case of need arises for maintenance outside the scheduled maintenances either due to failure of certain parts of machinery before scheduled replacement. The amounts required for such contingencies cannot be estimated for the setting of reserve. However, the Mutual Fund has been assigned second priority in the distribution of cash flow after financial institution creditors and has access to the distributed cash flow before B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 pays dividends to shareholders, or pay for items deemed non-essential to their operations. In the period between transfers of interest from power business, which takes place once every 6 months, clear arrangements under the credit facilities agreement are made to manage pay-in, pay-out cycles. Moreover, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have been able to generate stable cash flows consistently for more than 10 years since entering into power businesses, and to regularly pay dividends to shareholders. B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have entered into long-term agreement with EGAT and industrial users to ensure stable income. This, coupled with regular maintenance of electrical power plants, and the contracting of General Electric to manage the procurement of parts by setting maximum price increase for each year to mitigate fluctuation in the maintenance costs for electrical power plants. 11. Some unitholders who are individuals may not be eligible to tax privileges if the Mutual Fund fails to follow rules and regulations of the General Director of the Revenue Department A Royal Decree issued under the Revenue Code, dated 9 October 2012 exempts personal income tax for holders of investment units in an infrastructure Mutual Fund (this does not cover an ordinary partnership or an unincorporated body that are not legal entity) on dividends from Infrastructure Fund for a period of 10 consecutive taxation years from the year the Mutual Fund was established as per guideline, method and conditions specified by the Director General of the Revenue Department. On 7 March 2013, the Revenue Department issued directive setting condition and guideline compliance by Infrastructure Fund in order to make investment unitholders who are ordinary persons eligible to be exempted from the income tax on dividends. However, certain conditions that the Mutual Fund is not able to follow is the Management Company is required to notify the Revenue Department within 30 days from the date of application submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. In this respect, the Management Company submitted application on 1 February 2013 whereas the directive was issued on 7 March 2013, by which time the deadline had passed. Therefore the Mutual Fund has sought to consult or seek leniency to the Revenue Department in which the Management Company cannot offer guarantee that the Management Company or the Mutual Fund will
69 69 be able to comply to the Revenue Department s directive or whether the Revenue Department will offer leniency. In that case, investment unitholders who are ordinary person may be obligated to pay taxable income from dividends on investment units from the Mutual Fund, which is deemed negative impact to ordinary persons who are investment unitholders. 12. Attempt to register assets as a Mutual Fund may not be successful In the event that certain circumstances cause the planned registration of assets as Mutual Fund is not successful, for example, distribution of investment units to retail investors as required by rules and regulations set by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Stock Exchange of Thailand. In that case, the Management Company may not be able to register the establishment of the Mutual Fund and may be required to refund in full the amounts for subscription of investment units along with any interest on those amounts. Risks associated with ability to pursue business interest from investment in assets of infrastructure businesses which can affect performance of the Mutual Fund 1. Risks from operation 1.1 Risks from dependence on income from EGAT EGAT is the biggest customer of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2. EGAT agreed to buy power from B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 under 2 long-term power purchasing agreements that will end in September 2019 and September 2022 for B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2, respectively. The power purchasing agreements are vital to the businesses of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2, which account for 45% and 41% of total incomes in 2012 of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2, respectively. However, EGAT has strong business and financial standing, including that, EGAT is a leader in power business in Asia and plays an important role in the country s power industry. In addition to its role as power buyer and controller of wholesale power trade, EGAT is also the country s biggest power producers as well. EGAT is vitally important to the country s power security and has been under good governance with the Finance Ministry as the sole shareholder and is the state enterprise that ranks second in terms of income after the PTT in The Standard & Poor s rated EGAT BBB+ as of 31 December 2012, which is the same credit rating as Thailand with a trend toward stable credit rating. 1.2 Risks from the ability to pay for power by industrial users, defaults on power sale and purchase agreements by industrial users, fall in power consumption demand or failure to find buyers to replace industrial users not renewing agreements Income of 54% and 56% of total incomes in 2012 of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2, respectively, were from power sales to industrial users, which renew 3-5 years purchasing agreements. Although B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have renewed power purchasing agreements with several industrial users, some of the industrial users had financial problems which affected their ability to pay their power bills or cancelled purchasing agreements prematurely, and B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 had had difficulty finding new industrial users to replace those who cancelled, resulting in possible fall in demand for power by industrial users. Moreover, a fall in demand for power among industrial users could affect power payment of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2. Due to this shortfall, the financial results of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 could be negatively affected that could lead affect the ability of the Mutual Fund to pay dividends.
70 70 Industrial users who are customers of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 are companies with strong businesses. Many of them are subsidiaries or joint venture partners of multinational companies and have good credit ratings. B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have never encountered problems in seeking payment for power or entered into any significant dispute with industrial users over payment. Nava Nakorn Industrial Estate is also an industrial estate that is home to the greatest number of factories in the country. As of October 2012, a total of 549 factories are operating inside the industrial estate. Of this, more than 400 industrials have never entered into agreements to purchase power from either B. Grimm 1 or B, Grimm 2. Furthermore, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 has entered into agreements with the Mutual Fund that they would maintain their customer bases while redoubling efforts to find new customers to enter into power purchasing agreements in order to do away with excess capacity. In addition, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 also have put in place management system to retain and find new customers with good distribution among industries as part of risk management to prevent over-dependence on any one of their industrial user customers. As of 31 March 2013, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have 35 and 39 industrial user customers, respectively. In 2012, income from the top 10 industrial user customers accounted for 64% and 50% of the total incomes of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2, respectively. 1.3 Risks from shortage of fuel sources The operations of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 depend on ability to procure fuels, especially natural gas, which constitutes the key production costs of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2. In the event of natural gas shortage, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 may not be able to continue operation producing power or steam power, which may result in B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 being forced to suspend production of power temporarily, lower power production below demand or fail to comply with power and steam power trading agreements. B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 are exposed to risk of natural gas shortages due to the fact that future demand for natural gas may differ from estimates made by public sector agencies or regulatory bodies. In case of higher than expected demand, procurement of enough natural gas to meet demand may become a challenge, particularly if the global economy resumes growth. However, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have a risk management measures to maintain natural gas reserves in the world market by monitoring the movement and setting up of guideline among public sector agencies and regulatory bodies in procuring and forecasting natural gas demand, particularly the Energy for the Environment Foundation and the Natural Fuels Department, which made forecast as of end of 2011 that the level of Thailand s natural gas reserves was sufficient to meet the domestic demand for another 11 years, based on verified sources, whereas the level of natural gas reserves based on verified existing sources, unverified and probable sources combined would be sufficient to meet the domestic demand for the next 30 years. Therefore, the supply of natural gas is sufficient for the demand of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 for the production of power and steam power throughout the terms of the Revenue Sharing Agreement from power businesses. 1.4 Risks from shortage of water in the production of power and steam power The power production process requires water that must pass through demineralization to feed into cooling systems and steam engines. Risk of water shortages may cause the suspension of power production. Such risk is associated with the climate change, particularly when there is unusually lower rainfalls on certain years, or late arrival of rainy season that could result in insufficient water supply to feed into electrical power production process.
71 71 However, Amata Water Co., Ltd., which is supplier of water for B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 has put in place water management to ensure sufficient supply, and has increase water holding capacities for years with unusually low rainfalls. At the present, reservoirs at Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate is capable of supplying 16.5 million cubic meters of water per year for use within the industrial estate, which meet the demand of water of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 in the production of electrical power and steam power, which stands at about 3 million cubic meters per year. Moreover, Amata Corporation Plc. has agreed to procure additional water to B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 if and when Amata Water Co., Ltd. is unable to supply water. 1.5 Risks from dependence on PTT as sole supplier of natural gas PTT is monopolistic distributor of fuels in Thailand and is the only operator that is capable of delivering natural gas in quantities that meet the requirement of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2. If PTT is unable to deliver natural gas in quantities specified by the long-term natural gas purchasing agreements, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 may be forced to suspend their operations. Even though the agreements have clauses that require PTT to compensate for failure to meet the quantities specified in the agreements, such compensation specifically covers only the quantities required to produce power for sale to EGAT only. The compensation clause does not cover production of power for sale to industrial users. Although the production facilities of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 were designed to be able to switch to diesel as fuel, a switch to diesel will cause the production costs of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 to rise and efficiency of productivity to fall. Moreover, the production of power by using diesel will lead to higher rates of consumption of diesel than B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 to procure diesel to put in reserve because of limited capacity of diesel storage tanks at the power plants. Therefore, the use of diesel as alternative fuel cannot be sustained over long period. Therefore, risks from a disruption in delivery of natural gas, which may cause either by faulty delivery pipelines or closure during maintenance or as the result of events beyond the control of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2, can significantly and negatively affect the operations, financial position and financial results of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2. However, since B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have commenced their operations in the production of power and steam power for more than 10 years, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have never encountered the aforementioned fuel shortages. Since PTT is a reliable natural gas producer and has consistently meet its obligation under the agreement in natural gas trade, the Management Company has no reason to believe that the PTT would not be able to continue delivering natural gas under the agreements to B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 in the future. 1.6 Risks from volatility of natural gas prices Fuels constitute the main production costs of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2. Prices of natural gas paid to the PTT under the natural gas purchasing agreements are linked to natural gas prices, drilling costs, along with prices of petrochemical products in the world market, which tend to fluctuate and move in cycles. Price volatility is linked to several factors, such as global economic situations and regional economic volatility, change in supply demand of natural gas reserves and petrochemical products in the world market, political stability, and production policy of natural gas producing and exporting countries, weather conditions, man-made or natural disasters. As for fuel as part of production costs for the production of power sold to EGAT, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 are able to transfer the risk of fluctuating natural gas prices under the sale and
72 72 purchase agreement to EGAT through the automatic tariff adjustment formula and Contracted Heat Rate at the rate of 8,600 BTU per KWh. If B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have the Actual Heat Rate lower than the rate specified in the agreements, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm will be eligible to full compensation for impacts from natural gas price fluctuation for the fuels used in production of power that is sold to EGAT. As for cost of fuels used in the production of electrical power and steam power for sale to industrial users, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 are able to transfer risks associated with fuel price volatility to industrial user customers through the automatic tariff adjustment formula that is levied on industrial users referencing to the power rates charged by the PEA that is set by Energy Business Regulatory Committee (ERC). However, the power rates of the PEA reflect the fluctuating fuel prices by combining the automatic tariff adjustment formula or FT, which is adjusted every 4 months according to costs of a variety of fuels that are used in power production, such as natural gas, coal, fuel oil and other fuels, as well as inflation rates, currency exchange rates and factors other than natural gas prices, including that the natural gas prices tend to change every month, the reference to fuel price index may therefore not reflect and is not designed to reflect the real production costs of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 specifically. Moreover, the FT may not be adjusted in accordance with the specified mechanism consistently. Therefore, any change in FT may impact the financial results of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 if such automatic tariff adjustment formula is not consistent with the volatility of natural gas prices that move significantly higher. This will in turn negatively affect profitability of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 and could cause negative and significant impact on financial position and financial results and the ability to pay dividends. However, ever since B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 commenced operations and produced power for sale for more than 10 years, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have been able to manage their businesses to make sustainable profits. Although impacts from FT that sometimes does not reflect the actual production costs of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2, such events are only short-term impacts in nature. 1.7 Risks from natural disasters, accidents and other unforeseen events that may occur in production process The power production process may result in hazards caused by fires, explosions, gas pipeline leakages, noxious fumes, oil contamination, terrorism, natural disasters, harms caused by outsiders and other unforeseen events. Although the chance of such hazards occurring is low, such an event has the potential to cause significant damage to people s safety, assets, the environment, operations, damage to reputation, financial position and financial results of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2. The Management Company and B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 attach great importance to management of such risks. The Management Company required B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 to insure against risks of damage to all key assets used in the production and at a coverage values that are consistent with the standards of other companies in the power production industry, such as insurance policies that cover all risks as well as additional insurance against business disruption along with Third Party Liability Insurance to minimize risks of being sued for compensations from persons related to B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 in case power plants are partially damaged, compensation from insurance companies can be used for repair works to restore production. In case of total loss or significant loss, the Mutual Fund shall distribution compensation to investors who hold investment units in the Mutual Fund after having paid financial institution creditors.
73 Risks from management, maintenance of electrical power plants and efficiency of power plants Risk from premature deterioration of equipment and machinery Factors that contribute significantly to the electrical power and steam power outputs are the conditions of equipment and machinery of power plants; for example, Gas Turbine Generator (GTG), Steam Turbine Generator (STG), Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG). Although findings from studies conducted on behalf of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 by the Mutual Fund s independent technical advisor indicated that key essential machineries were still in good working order and their useful life cover period beyond the duration of the agreements to transfer proceeds from power businesses, there are the possibility that these essential machineries to deteriorate sooner than expected if the maintenance does not proceed according to schedules or meet certain quality standards. Power output may be compromised which could negatively impact the operations, financial position and financial results of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 and may, in turn, affect the ability of the Mutual Fund to pay dividends. However, the Management Company believes that B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have put in place measures to minimize such risks. B. Grimm 2 has contracted GE to procure and offer warranty for parts as well as repair services and technical support as GE is the manufacturer of some machineries in the electrical power plant of B. Grimm 2. Consequently, it is familiar with technologies of B. Grimm 2 s power plant, including that GE also has long experience and expertise in maintenance of power plants in all parts of the world. B. Grimm 1 uses machineries manufactured by Siemens AG Co., Ltd., which has good worldwide reputation, and, B. Grimm 1 also attaches great importance to maintenance of machineries with scheduled major maintenance every 3-6 years to minimize risks from untimely deterioration of machineries Risks from B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 s steam power output falling below 10% and production efficiency falling below 45% According to provision under the power sale and purchase agreements with EGAT, power plants of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 are required to consume power continuously with a ratio of thermal power used in the thermal process at not less than 10% in average per year, and shall have productivity value of not less than 45%. If the power plants of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 fails to meet the conditions, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 are liable to pay fines to EGAT according to the power sale and purchase agreements. Since the demand to use of thermal power in Amata Estate is low, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have a ratio of thermal power used in the thermal process to product steam power less than 10%; consequently, they are liable to pay fines to EGAT. Since the use of the thermal power in the thermal process to product steam power affect productivity value of power production from production process, EGAT shall not overlapping impose fines if a ratio of thermal power used by B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 in the thermal process is less than 10% and cause efficiency value to fall below 45%. Therefore, B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 are not liable to fines imposed by EGAT for the productivity value falling below 45%. Such event shall be deemed normal for small-scale private power producers that belong to cogeneration category which enter into power sale and purchase agreements with EGAT. Most of these power producers are liable to same fines as B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2
74 74 are liable. As a result, governmental sectors and regulatory bodies such as ERC and EGAT have been made aware of the problem and have undertaken to revise rules and regulations governing the purchase of power and drawn up a model power sale and purchase agreement between EGAT and small scale private power producers in cogeneration category to be consistent and more realistic. As for the 2 power sale and purchase agreements made between B. Grimm 1, B. Grimm 2 and EGAT in the first round, EGAT has revised the agreements to offer leniency with respect to compliance with the conditions of the agreements. B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have been offered 50% reduction in fines for failing to use thermal power in the thermal process at no less than an average of 10% per year under the power sale and purchase agreement with EGAT which leads to the reduction of burden to pay fines. The Management Company has also taken into consideration the fines in the estimates Risks from strike, demands and labor disputes with employees Employees of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 may strike for demanding higher wages or engage in disputes with the management that could disrupt the power production of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2. However, the managements of B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 are experienced in such matter and have cultivated good working relationships with the employees from the very beginning until the present. B. Grimm 1 and B. Grimm 2 have never encountered such problems. 1.9 Risks associated with insurance Risk associated with insurance premium which may be increased Although the industrial estate in which B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 are located was not affected by the flood crisis faced by Thailand in September through November 2011, the Management Company expects the insurance premium for coverage of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2's power plants to increase due to such event. The Management Company cannot foresee when or to what extent such premium will increase but such change may affect the financial position and operating results of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2. Furthermore, some damage including damage arising from natural disasters, accidents, or terrorist acts, or loss arising from such events may require such high premium that the insurance coverage may not economically efficient. This is why B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 may need to reduce their coverage or may not be insured. In an event of severe damage, the coverage under existing policies may not be sufficient for compensating the damage claimed or be in the amount which is consistent with the market price or replacement cost. However, the Management Company has required B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 to procure all risks insurance including insurance in the event of flood, with the limit of liability which is consistent with the insurance standards of other companies in the power plant business Risk from not obtaining coverage or compensation under insurance policies Although the Management Company has arranged for insurance policies for B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, covering both property of the power plants and liability related to operation of power plant business of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, and the Management Company believes that the clauses and sum insured of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 are in
75 75 accordance with the general practice in the power plant business, such insurance may not cover all types of damage which may arise as the Management Company only chooses coverage for certain risks. Moreover, the clauses which are beyond the control of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 and the Mutual Fund may limit the scope of coverage under the insurance policies which B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, including that the Mutual Fund are able to procure or have the ability to procure under appropriate insurance premium. Defects of buildings of the power plants or undetected defect of the power plants or machinery in the power plants of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 may cause B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 not to receive coverage under the policy. Furthermore, some damages may involve several people such as loss adjuster, forensic engineer, or other technical experts as the case may be, or may require arbitration, which requires a long period of time for settling disputed insurance claim. Therefore, the Mutual Fund has the abovementioned risks, which may be categorized into 2 cases, i.e.(i) in the event of partial damage of the property; if compensation received by B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 is insufficient for the repair of the damaged property, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 may incur additional expenses for such repair in order to continue the business operation, and (ii) in the event of total loss or significant loss, if the compensation received by B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 is insufficient, the Mutual Fund may lose part or all of its investment under the agreement on transfer of proceeds. This is because the Mutual Fund will receive compensation for such damage after the financial institution creditors of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, who will be fully compensated under the loan agreement Risk associated with operation of Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate Since the businesses of all industrial user customers of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 are located in the same area, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 have the risks associated with changes in requirements concerning operation within Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate, which may cause the license to operate business in the industrial estate to be revoked. Although such risks are common for all private small power producers located in industrial estates or industrial parks, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 have a contingency plan for operation of Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 are able to generate power and steam for industrial user customers in the neighboring area if the return is worth the investment in the line for transmitting electric current to industrial user customers. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 may sell power to industrial user customers who remain in the same location even though such customers may no longer be under the supervision of the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand Risk associated with competition in distributing power to industrial user customers among B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, and B.Grimm 3 or any affiliated companies of Amata B. Grimm Power Since Amata B.Grimm Power has several small power plants apart from B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 may face risks of competition between B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, and other power plants. The following factors may help reduce such risk: a. Undertaking agreement between Amata B.Grimm Power and the Mutual Fund
76 76 Amata B.Grimm Power and the Mutual Fund agree to enter into an undertaking agreement consisting of agreements on non-competition with B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2. Amata B.Grimm Power will ensure that its affiliated companies offer power and/or steam to any contractual parties of power purchasing agreement and/or new power purchasing agreement of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 on conditions that such offer for sale of power and/or steam shall not have a significant negative effect on the operating results, financial position and/or ability to comply with agreement on transfer of proceeds of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2. In this respect, the Mutual Fund may request Amata B.Grimm Power to provide explanation or submit additional information. If Amata B.Grimm Power is unable to provide such explanation, the Mutual Fund and Amata B.Grimm Power may jointly appoint an expert to provide opinion on such matters and Amata B.Grimm Power is requested to be responsible for all relevant expenses. b. The demand for power within Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate is higher than the combined capacity of all power plants currently operating in the industrial estate B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 have entered into agreements with industrial user customers until the capacity of the power plants is almost full. B.Grimm 3 entered into agreements with industrial user customers, equivalent to 116% of its capacity available for sale to all industrial user customers. This shows that the demand for power within Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate is higher than the capacity of all power plants currently operating in the industrial estate combined. The terms of the power purchasing agreements made with industrial user customers of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 are 5 years and 15 years with the renewal term of 3 to 5 years. Industrial user customers with 5-year agreements account for 80% and 89% of all agreements, respectively. B.Grimm 1 B.Grimm 2 5-year agreement 32 agreements 42 agreements 15-year agreement 8 agreements 5 agreements Total 40 agreements 47 agreements Furthermore, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 have the policy to select customers who are likely to renew the agreement, as follows: 1) industrial user customers who own land within the industrial estate, which means stable and long-term need for power; 2) famous industrial user customers with secure financial position. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 value its customer base by maintaining good relation with industrial user customers. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 have never had any significant dispute with their industrial user customers. At present 91% and 49% of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2's customers, respectively, have been their customers from the first 3 years of operation of the power plants. c. Power price which is not significantly different In the past, the market for sale of power within Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate is monopolized by only a few sellers (B.Grimm 1, B.Grimm 2 and EGAT). Subsequently, even though Amata B.Grimm Power constructed additional power plants, the market for sale of
77 77 power within Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate is still monopolized by a few sellers (B.Grimm 1, B.Grimm 2, Amata B.Grimm Power group companies and EGAT). In this type of market, sellers have the negotiating power in determining the price in the market. This, combined with the demand of power from power plants located in the industrial estate being higher than the capacity, prevents the power price from being significantly different. This is apparent from late 2012 when B.Grimm 3 started selling power to customers and the price of power sold to industrial user customers of B.Grimm 1, B.Grimm 2 and B.Grimm 3 was not significantly different Risk associated with renewal of agreement of B.Grimm 1, B.Grimm 2 and Amata B.Grimm Power 2. Financial risks B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 entered into agreements engaging Amata B.Grimm Power, namely service agreement for storage area for works, documents, computers and office supply, service agreement of vehicle, internet system and system, and consultant agreement. With respect to the agreements ended 31 December 2013, it is possible that Amata B.Grimm Power will not renew the agreements, making it necessary for B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 to find a new service provider. However, since Amata B.Grimm Power has an undertaking agreement to hold investment units throughout the term of the agreement on transfer of proceeds in the amount not less than 27.5%, it is highly likely that Amata B.Grimm Power will renew the agreement until the expiration of the agreement on transfer of proceeds. 2.1 Risk associated with fluctuation of currency exchange rate Change in the exchange rate of Thai Baht and US dollar affects both income and expenses. As most power producers have some interest to be paid in US dollar and EGAT wishes to reduce risk from the fluctuation of exchange rate for power producers, EGAT thus specifies that 80% of the price of power will be varied based on the exchange rate of US dollar. Interests expense in US dollar are interest accruing upon loans from financial institutions which is appeared in US dollars for purchase of power generating unit and equipment from aboard. Therefore, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 may manages this risk by using natural hedge, namely management of income and expenses in the same currency. However, natural hedge employed by B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 may not reduce all risks associated with foreign exchange rate but may contribute to mitigating effects of foreign exchange rate on the overall financial position. 2.2 Risk associated with fluctuation of interest rate B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 will repay existing long-term loans with new long-term loan acquired from financial institutions prior to investment by the Mutual Fund in proceeds from operation of power business. Interests accruing upon the loan agreement of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 are floating rate interest. If the interest increases, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 will incur more interest payable to the creditor. This may negatively affect the dividend payment to unitholders. However, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 plan to prevent risks associated with volatility of interest rate by employing financial tools such as interest rate swap, not for the purpose of speculation but for hedging. The interest rate from hedging using financial tools will depend on the prevailing money market condition.
78 78 3. Risk from changes in official rules and regulations 3.1 Risk from changes in rules and regulations concerning purchase of power Power business is an power business which involves public utility important to manufacturing cost of the industrial sector of the nation. Therefore, changes in the public policy in different aspects such as change of power business structure, consumer protection, increasing efficiency and environmental requirement result in risks in determining the direction of operation of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 in the future. In the past, supervision guidelines applied to local power producers have always changed from time to time and there may be more significant changes in the future. Furthermore, there were various suggestions on change of power industry structure, most of which were delayed, canceled or significantly amended prior to coming into effect. Power purchasing agreements made with EGAT for power plants of small power producers do not contain specific clauses on privatization of EGAT or reformation of power business structure. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 cannot foresee the effects of changes in rules and regulations governing power business or privatization of EGAT on the power purchasing agreements of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, and on the power business as a whole. For example, if the changes in rules and regulations result in cancelation of the power rate specified by EGAT, which is the reference rate used by B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 for sale of power to industrial user customers, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 may need to renegotiate the price structure of power sold to industrial user customers. In such case, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 may not be able to maintain the price structure under appropriate commercial conditions. However, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 are closely monitoring and assessing effects of changes in rules and regulations and have a plan to improve efficiency in different aspects in order to be able to respond to changes in a timely manner. 3.2 Risk associated with possible privatization of state enterprise operating power business (including EGAT and PEA) 4. Other risks In the future, state enterprises operating power business (including EGAT and PEA) may be privatized into a public limited company with the shares listed of the Stock Exchange of Thailand. Any changes resulting from privatization of state enterprises may have significant effects on B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm Risk associated with possible dispute with EGAT Although throughout the period of operation of power plant business of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 there has been no event or dispute with EGAT, disputes or inconsistent opinions between B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, and EGAT may arise, and lead to termination of agreement, which will have a significant negative effect on the operation of business, financial position, and operating results of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, and may affect the ability of the Mutual Fund to pay dividend. However, if B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 receives any notice of termination of power purchasing agreement from EGAT and cannot take necessary actions required in order for cancellation of
79 79 such notice of termination, the Mutual Fund is entitled to terminate the agreement on transfer of proceeds immediately and the Mutual Fund will receive a refund of the remaining purchase price of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 as specified in such agreement. The Mutual Fund has the right to wait for results of dispute resolution procedures concerning termination of agreement by EGAT. If it is found that B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 are indeed at fault and must comply with the notice of termination of EGAT, the Mutual Fund will receive indemnification from B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 as specified in the agreement on transfer of proceeds. However, if it is found that B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 are not at fault and are not required to comply with the notice of termination of EGAT, the Mutual Fund will not be indemnified for the period of interruption of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2's businesses as a result of such dispute with EGAT. 4.2 Risk associated with possible dispute with PTT Cogeneration thermal power plants of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 will mainly use natural gas as the fuel. PTT is a monopoly distributor of fuel and the only business operator who may supply sufficient natural gas for operation of business of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2. Although throughout the period of operation of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2's businesses, there has been no event or dispute with PTT, disputes or inconsistent opinions between B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, and PTT may arise, and lead to termination of natural gas purchasing agreement, which will have a significant negative effect on the business operation, financial position, and operating results of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, and may affect the ability of the Mutual Fund to pay dividend. However, if B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 receive any notice of termination of natural gas purchasing agreement from PTT and cannot take necessary actions required for cancellation of such notice of termination, the Mutual Fund will be entitled to compensation calculated from the date on which B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 receive the notice of termination from PTT. B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 have been operating power plant business for over 10 years and the management of B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2's power plants have over 30 years of experience working in the power industry, making them prepared to handle any situation. The Management Company believes that B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 will be able to settle any dispute with PTT should it occur. 4.3 Risk associated with safety, hygiene, environment and society Power production process involves risks concerning safety, hygiene, environment and society which may affect the safety, the environment and the quality of life of employees and the community around the power plants. Such risks may be the result of production efficiency and management measures that are not sufficient in those respects. For the past several years, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 have never faced such an event. However, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 have specified measures to prevent negative effects and reduce the chance of occurrence. In this respect, a sector is assigned to closely monitor and analyze the results, prepare report on monitoring the measures, monitor the environment management, and monitor the changes in the laws and regulations related to environmental effects and safety. This way, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 will be able to determine measures and emergency plan in a timely manner. Community relations activities are also continuously conducted.
80 Risk from Default by B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 The Mutual Fund will suffer risks in the event that B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 take any actions which are events of default of the agreement on transfer of proceeds such as by not transferring proceeds from operation of the power business to the Mutual Fund on the due date or not complying with agreements given in the agreement on transfer of proceeds. This may affect the ability of the Mutual Fund to pay dividend. However, the Mutual Fund is entitled to terminate the agreement with B.Grimm 1 and/or B.Grimm 2 (as the case may be) as specified in Revenue Sharing Agreement. If the default is caused by B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2's failure to transfer proceeds from operation of power business to the Mutual Fund on the due date specified in the agreement on transfer of proceeds, or B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 intentionally stop their power business operation permanently without reasonable cause (except in the case that B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 have to stop operating the power business due to damage of property or expropriation of property, or in the case that B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 temporarily suspend business operation for maintenance, or in the case that B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 stop their operation of power business in accordance with a public order), or B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2 are subject to order of receivership, bankruptcy, or reorganization. After the Mutual Fund terminates such agreement, B.Grimm 1 or B.Grimm 2 (as the case may be) shall compensate the Mutual Fund for the damage in accordance with the details specified in the agreement on transfer of proceeds. If B.Grimm 1 or B.Grimm 2 is in default by other reasons such as non-compliance with material undertaking agreements, or misrepresentation given in the agreement on transfer of proceeds, the Mutual Fund has the right to take legal actions against and/or demand damages incurred from B.Grimm 1 or B.Grimm 2 including interest accruing on the actual damages at the rate specified in the agreement on transfer of proceeds if B.Grimm 1 or B.Grimm 2 (as the case may be) fails to rectify such default within the time specified by the Mutual Fund. However, the Mutual Fund is not entitled to terminate the agreement in this case. 4.5 Risk associated with projection of income statement and profit allocation based on assumptions Projection of income statement and profit allocation based on assumptions for the year commencing 1 April 2013, ending 31 March 2014 is a presentation of financial position which the Mutual Fund should be in after the 12-month period, based on various assumptions specified in attachment 5. Although the Management Company has carefully prepared the projection, assumptions on which the projection is based are subject to risks, uncertainty and other factors in terms of business, economy, finance, and rules, most of which are beyond the control of the Management Company. This may cause actual results to be significantly different from the projection. Projection of income statement and profit allocation based on assumptions shall not be considered warranty, representation, or expectation based on accurate assumptions of the Mutual Fund, the Management Company, Amata B.Grimm Power, B.Grimm 1 and B.Grimm 2, investment unit buyers, underwriter, financial advisor, trustee, or other persons and shall not guarantee that such projection will be achieved or likely be achieved.
