KSK Power Ventur plc 


("KSK", the "Company" or the "Group") 

Interim Results 

for the six months ended 30 September 2009


KSK Power Ventur plc (AIM: KSK), the power project development company with interests in multiple power plants across India, today announces its unaudited interim financial results for the six months ended 30 September 2009.

 

Financial Highlights 


  • Turnover maintained at $24.4m (2008: $25m) 


  • Gross profit up 39 % at $12.1m (2008: $8.7m) 


  • Profit from operations up 350% at $15m (2008: $3.3m) 


  • Profit before tax up 483% at $40.34m (2008: $6.91m ) 


  • Net profits up 340% at $18.25m (2008: $4.14m) 



Operational Highlights 


  • Operational capacity of 144 MW 


  • Power generation revenue and profitability on these assets higher than previous year as a result of increased productivity and tariff realisation on surplus power sales


  • Plants under construction of 718 MW, expected to begin commissioning shortly.


  • Wardha Power 3,600 MW power plant in Chhattisgarh.


  • Projects in the pipeline - 5,400 MW thermal and 1,000+ MW renewable energy.


  • Total 10+ GW, as a combination of projects under operation, construction, development and in the pipeline.


  • Settlement of the fund business with liquidators and acquisition of the associated investments. 


  • Equity fund raising by Indian subsidiary KSKEV in November 2009, raising approximately $112 of new monies under Qualified Institutional Placement.



Commenting on the results, T L Sankar, Chairman of KSK said: 


"The period under review saw definitive forward movement of the Company, its power plant capacity plans and new initiatives but we also saw delays in commissioning two of its power plants VS Lignite and Wardha Warora. 


These commissioning delays and disruptions have been primarily on account of the new government policies governing employment visas issued to the EPC contractor project execution personnel coming from outside India. It is now expected that these severe restrictions, both quantitative and qualitative, will last longer than anticipated and hence could impact on the commissioning of the later units of the power projects under construction. The Group has initiated a plan to mitigate such commissioning disruptions and has also currently initiated effort for a long term mitigation plan including local resource mobilization to address not only the immediate two power plants but also the construction of the larger capacity 3.6 GW power plants being pursued and expected to commence power generation during 2012 and 2013


We now look forward to 2010 being a substantial year for commissioning and commencement of power production by three of the power projects under construction of VS Lignite, Wardha Power and Arasmeta, expansion, with respective cash flows and internal accruals commencing. The untied surplus from these projects are expected to actualise superior realization on power sales and provide the much required incremental cash flow support for equity requirements of the Chhattisgarh project. Further, we anticipate that the effort on KSK Mineral and KSK Solar initiatives would gather momentum and the Company would explore opportunities to bring in investors (financial or strategic) to further the plans of these businesses.


These are exciting and challenging times for the Company, with commissioning of a number of projects underway. We expect to remain on course in 2010 and are confident in our ability to meet the longer term goals."

Directors Review 


Introduction 


The period under review has been mixed for the Group, accounting for significant positive performance improvements of the operating power plants while also experiencing delays in commissioning of the various construction projects, primarily on account of restrictions on availability of Chinese EPC contractor personnel on site at this most critical stage of project execution. 


The results for the period detail the unaudited consolidated results for the Company for the six months period ending 30 September 2009. Overall, the financial performance for the period has been good, with continuing development activities as well as the profitable underlying power plant operations. The current results show the consolidated position for the underlying power generation business and development revenue of KSK's energy business. Over the next few years and upon commencement of generation activities at the various large power plants, KSK EV is expected to enjoy enhanced revenues that would greatly enhance the consolidated financial results for the Group. 



Review of Projects 


The Group is currently working with project pipeline opportunities of 10,000+ MW total capacities, as detailed below. 


Projects under Operation 


Three plants (with primary off take by respective industrial consumers and surplus sale to local utilities)


  • Arasmeta 43 MW coal based power plant in the state of Chhattisgarh operating with supplies to Lafarge India


  • Sai Regency 58 MW natural gas based power plant in the state of Tamil Nadu operating with supplies to multiple industrial customers. 


  • Sitapuram 43 MW coal based power plant in state of Andhra Pradesh with supplies to Zuari Cements & Sri Vishnu Cements (Italcementi Group). 


Total     144 MW 



Projects under Construction and expected to commission shortly


Three plants (with off take by respective industrial consumers with deferred consumption and surplus sale to tied up with local utilities)


  • VS Lignite, 135 MW lignite based power plant in Rajasthan with supplies to multiple industrial customers. This plant is now due for completion Jan-Mar 2010. The works on boiler light up and synchronisation are expected to be taken up in the next fortnight  


  • Wardha Power, 540 MW Warora power plant, the coal based power plant in Maharashtra is due for completion and commissioning during calendar year 2010. Erection and commissioning and construction works on the first two units fairly completed and currently underway on the balance two units. With part of the visa issues addressed we anticipate that the first two units would commission between Jan-Mar 2010


  • Arasmeta expansion, 43 MW coal based power plant in Chhattisgarh with supplies to Lafarge and other industrial or utility customers. This plant is now due for completion around June 2010. 


Total 718 MW 



Projects under Development 


Two plants:


  • Wardha Power Chattisgarh power project (shortly to be demerged into a separate company KSK Mahanadi Power), 3,600 MW power plant in Chhattisgarh has witnessed significant progress with respect to land acquisition, permitting including environmental clearances, water linkages, fuel supply, evacuation, and granting various statutory approvals required for the project. This project has completed equipment ordering in its entirety, released various requisite advances and is now proceeding on construction activity at site. 


  • KSK Dibbin Hydro Power, 130 MW hydro electric power plant in Arunachal Pradesh has witnessed substantial progress over the last few months. A detailed project report was prepared by Pyory Energy AG, Switzerland and the relevant compliance report to the Central Electricity Authority. The next immediate steps on the project would include, amongst others, land acquisition, completion of equipment ordering and beginning of preliminary project preparatory works at site.


Total 3,730 MW 



Planned Projects 


Three Thermal power projects based on planned long term coal supplies from State Mineral Development Corporations (the same contingent upon progress from Memorandum of Understanding to Definitive Fuel Supply Agreements) and two Hydro Power project opportunities in Arunachal Pradesh


Total 6,345 MW 



Divestments


We have completed the divestment of our 50% interest in each of the 20 MW power projects of RVK and KPCL in favour of the other joint venture partner with an objective to focus management time and effort on the larger power project initiatives and other new business opportunities being pursued.  With the completion of this divestment, all power generation plants of the group are now held under KSK Energy Ventures, the Indian subsidiary.   



KSK Mineral and KSK Solar initiative


The Groups envisages an ever increasing shortage of coal, a vital raw material for various thermal projects in India (both for peak and base load requirements) and hence additional spur in demand for businesses that can enable such fuel linkages and development. Leveraging its experience in the power generation and the recent experience in development and operating the Gurha(E) lignite block in India, the Company has now finalised plans for a foray into the mineral business in India and currently working on contracts for various mine development operations..


As part of the strategy to address global environmental concerns on carbon and emissions as well as having a balanced portfolio including renewable sources and complement the Group's extensive footprint in thermal power, the group has finalised contract with leading manufacturer of solar panel manufacturing equipment for a potential setup of a facility in India. While the short term opportunity is envisaged towards an export oriented business, the group envisages a long term viable business opportunity of solar power generation in India. Also integral to such strategy, the group continues to explore other renewable opportunities of hydro and wind energy opportunities. 



Financial Overview


The consolidated operating revenue for the reporting period of the Company from power generating activities and project development activities stood at $24.4m. Gross Profit on the Operating Revenue stood at $12.2m. Operating income for the period stood at $15.0m while Profit before Tax stood at $40.3m


The finance income for the reporting period stood at $32.2m on account of sale of investment, foreign exchange gains as well as interest income.


Profit after tax and minority interest stood at $18.2m and earnings per share for the period was $0.13m.

 

The consolidated cash balance at the end of the period to 30 September 2009 stood at $81.9m (as against $154m at the beginning of the period) reflecting the higher investments in property plant and equipment as against the cash provided by financing activities. It is anticipated that this should ensure the implementation by KSK EV of the various power plants remains unhindered and provides positive cash flows that are expected to accrue from the various power plants in due course of 2010 and 2011.



Outlook


With increasing participants in the private power generation sector in India during recent months and the evolution of market dynamics based operation and maintenance of power projects across the country, the Group intends to maintain its differentiation form competitive peers through a focussed on ground execution of projects, actively engage on fuel security and leverage the brown field expansion opportunities in active consultation and support of the vital public stakeholders. 


A full set of interim figures can be found on the company website and below is a summary of the interim accounts.

1 As of 1 April 2009 the group sold its interest in RVK and KPCL to the other joint venturer for a consideration of US $ 4,112(See note 26)


As of 30 Sep 2009 the group holds 85.47 percent of the outstanding share capital of WCPL, of which 7.69 percent is held temporarily on behalf of the consumer shareholders for the Wardha Warora project and 14.53 percent, is held in Wardha for Chattisgarh project which will be extinguished post approval of the scheme of demerger of Wardha Chattisgarh (See note 27). According to the contractual agreements and established legal practices, the group would ultimately hold 74 percent in WPCL and hence no adjustments have been done for the additional interest held in these financial statements.


The terms of the contractual agreements and established legal practices provides the Group and the joint venture partners (JV partners) to jointly control the key operating decisions to which both parties must agree unanimously. Accordingly, these entities have been treated as jointly controlled entities. 

     


2.    Basis of preparation


The interim condensed consolidated and separate financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss account and available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value.


The interim condensed consolidated financials statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financials statements in accordance with IFRS, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated and separate annual financial statements as at 31 March 2009.


The financial statements have been presented in United States Dollars ('U.S. $'), which is the presentation currency of the Company. All amounts have been presented in thousands, unless specified otherwise.


Balances represent consolidated amounts for the Group, unless otherwise stated.



3.    Significant accounting policies 


The interim condensed and separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policy adopted in the last annual consolidated and separate financial statement for the year ended 31 March 2009, except for the adoption of new standards as of 1 April 2009, noted below:


  • IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised)

  • IFRS 8 Operating Segments


The principal effects of these changes are as follows:


IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised)

The adoption of IAS 1 (Revised) makes certain changes to the format and titles of the primary financial statements and to the presentation of some items within these statements. It also gives rise to additional disclosures. The measurement and recognition of the Group's assets, liabilities, income and expense is unchanged. However, some items that were recognised directly in equity are now recognised in other comprehensive income, for example revaluation of property, plant and equipment. IAS1 affects the presentation of owner changes in equity and introduces a 'Statement of comprehensive income'. In accordance with the new standard the entity does not present a 'Statement of recognised income and expenses', as was presented in the 31 March 2009 consolidated and separate financial statements. Further, a 'Statement of changes in equity' is now presented as a primary statement.


IFRS 8 Operating Segments

The adoption of IFRS 8 has not affected the identified operating segments for the Group. However, reported segment results are now based on internal management reporting information that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. In the previous annual and interim financial statements, segments were identified by reference to the dominant source and nature of the Group's risks and returns.

    

The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group and the parent Company for the purposes of the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated and separate financial statements.



4.    Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions


There have been no significant changes in the significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions applied for the purposes of the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated and separate financial statements.



5.    Dilution of ownership interest in a subsidiary


Initial Public Offering made by KSK Energy Ventures Limited ('KEVL')    


As of 1 April 2008, KSK Energy Limited (KEL) held 191,221,952 equity shares (65 percent equity ownership) in KSK Energy Ventures Limited ('KEVL'). During the period ended 30 September 2008, KEVL issued additional 51,917,000 equity shares of face value of Rs. 10 (U.S. $ 0.25) each at a premium of Rs. 230 (U.S. $ 5.46) per share in the Indian domestic market by way of Initial Public Offering. The issue was fully subscribed and KEVL raised Rs. 12,460,080 (U.S. $ 291,664)The transaction cost incurred adjusted with the consideration received, net of deferred taxes amounting Rs. 154,191 (U.S. $ 3,609), is Rs. 299,445    (U.S. $7,009).


Pursuant to the issuance of the equity shares to general public the ownership interest of the Group in KEVL decreased from 65 percent to 55.25 percent resulting in a 9.75 percent deemed partial disposal of the Group's controlling interest in a subsidiary without loss of control. 


The Group accounted for partial disposal of the investment in a subsidiary without loss of control as an equity transaction, and no gain or loss is recognised in the income statement. The difference of U.S. $ 140,998, between the fair value of the net consideration received (U.S. $ 284,655) and the amount by which the minority interests are adjusted (U.S. $ 143,656), has been credited to 'other reserve' within statement of changes in equity and attributed to the equity holders of the parent. 


Further, an adjustment to revaluation reserve attributed to the equity holders of the parent amounting to U.S. $ 1,024 has been transferred to minority interest on the deemed disposal of the asset without loss of control.



6.    Segment information


The Group has adopted the "management approach" in identifying the operating segments as outlined in IFRS 8. Management has analysed the information that the chief operating decision maker reviews and concluded on the segment disclosure.


For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their services, and has two reportable operating segments as follows:


  • Power generating activities, and

  • Project development services


No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments. 


Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss which in certain respects, as explained in the table below, is measured differently from operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. Group financing (including finance costs and finance income) and income taxes are managed on a Group basis and are not allocated to operating segments. There is only one geographical segment as all the operations and business is carried out in India.


The Group accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers based on market prices.

1 Outstanding balances at the period/year-end are unsecured, interest-bearing in case of loans and inter-corporate deposits and non-interest bearing in case of other loans and advances and settlement occurs in cash. There have been no guarantees provided or received for any related party receivables or payables. For the period ended 30 Sep 2009, the Group has not recorded any impairment of receivables relating to amounts owed by related parties (Sep 2008: U.S. $ Nil). This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.


25.    Commitments and contingencies 


Capital commitments


The Group is committed to incur capital expenditure of U.S. $ 2,263,574 (March 2009: U.S. $ 2,114,262). Out of the above, U.S $ 350,405 is expected to be settled in the following financial year and U.S. $ 1,913,169 is expected to be settled within 3 years. 


Other commitments


Legal claim


Sitapuram Power Limited ('SPL') received billings totalling to U.S. $ 1,098 from Transmission Corporation of AP Limited ('AP Transco') to pay contracted demand charges for the full month without any deference to the period of actual outage (and consequent drawl by SPL from the grid). The Group contends that since the electricity consumption was only in the time blocks of 15 minutes each, action of vendor of raising demand charges for full month is against the regulations and burdensome. Considering the facts and nature of claim and the judgement of Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission and Chattisgarh State Electricity Regulatory Commission, the Group believes that the final outcome of the above dispute should be in favour of the Group and there should be no material impact on the financial statements. 


SPL also received claims for penal charges totalling to U.S. $ 120 from state utility board for excess sourcing of power on account of failure of reverse switch mechanism maintained by the state electricity board. The Group contends that excess sourcing was not deliberate but on account of failure of reverse switch mechanism, maintenance of which is duty of state utility board. Considering the facts and nature of claim and a stay has been granted by appellate authorities in India, the Group believes that the final outcome of the above dispute should be in favour of the Group and there should be no material impact on the financial statements.  



26.    Disposal of interest in RVK and KPCL:


As of 1 April 2009, the Group has disposed its interests in the joint controlled entities RVK and KPCL for a consideration of US $ 4,112. The Group has accordingly derecognized the assets and liabilities and recorded the differential loss of US $ 2,743 between the consideration received and the carrying value of the assets and liabilities through the statement of comprehensive income.


The share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the jointly controlled entities at 
31 March 2009 are as follows:
