Mytrah Energy Limited
("Mytrah Energy" or the "Company")
Interim Results for the six months ended 30 September 2011
Mytrah Energy Limited ("MEL" or "Mytrah"), (formerly Caparo Energy Limited), the India-based independent power producer ("IPP") today announces its consolidated results for the six month period ended 30 September 2011.
Financial and Operational Highlights:
·; Maiden revenue reported of USD 2.27 million (H1'10: USD nil) as our first commissioned projects became operational during the period.
·; Group's EBITDA* for the period amounted to USD 0.94 million (H1'10: loss of USD 0.44 million).
·; For the period ended September 2011, the Group achieved profitability for its wholly owned subsidiary Mytrah Energy (India) Limited ("MEIL"), (formerly Caparo Energy (India) Limited), posting a net profit after tax of USD 0.55 million (H1'10: loss of USD 0.44 million). At a consolidated level the Group recorded a loss from continuing operations of USD 0.70million (H1'10: loss of USD 0.44million).
·; 67.2 MW of fully operational wind power capacity was delivered ahead of schedule and is performing in line with our expectations.
·; 260 MW of orders were placed with Suzlon Energy Limited ("Suzlon") in August 2011, taking the total orders to 360 MW at the period end. The senior debt financing for the majority of this commitment has been secured, and as noted in the post period end highlights, we are in discussions with lenders for the remaining senior debt funding of USD 72.60 million needed to fund the purchase orders placed during the period.
·; Drawn down USD 33.05 million of Compulsory Convertible Debentures ("CCDs") and the first tranche of Compulsory Convertible Preference Shares ("CCPSs") worth USD 39.08 million. These were both drawn from the total mezzanine financing of US$111.50 million announced earlier in the period.
·; The management team was strengthened during the period with new hires announced in August 2011
Post Period End Highlights:
·; Drawn down USD 39.37 million, being the remaining second tranche of the CCPSs.
·; Appointed two new Non-Executive Directors, Peter Neville and Russell Walls, who joined the Board in November 2011.
·; The Group has agreed in principle a further USD 20.15 million of mezzanine financing in the form of subscription to CCDs with expected draw down in January 2012.
·; The Group has secured new senior loan funding of USD 120.92 million which is fully underwritten by Infrastructure Development Finance Corporation Limited ("IDFC").
·; The Group is also in discussion with lenders to raise a further USD 72.60 million.
·; A further 143 MW of project sites are being planned with Suzlon and Gamesa Wind Turbines Private Limited ("Gamesa") as the suppliers. Once the purchase orders for these sites have been placed, and the financing obtained, the total purchase orders would grow to 500 MW, with a total of 11 projects, either commissioned or under construction.
·; The Group's strategy remains on track to achieving its goal of becoming a leading IPP in India, with 5 GW of wind power generating capacity targeted by 2017.
Ravi Kailas, Chairman and CEO said:
"I am very pleased to report our first set of interim results that include turnover generated from our initial projects. Mytrah is engaging in a rapid roll out of wind generation on a utility scale in India and as we have highlighted in this statement and previous updates to the market we have made significant progress over the last twelve months.
The Indian energy market remains robust, supporting the rationale for our accelerated development schedule. In this light by the end of December, the Group should have 500 MW of projects distributed over 11 sites that are either commissioned or are under construction. I look forward to the 2012 calendar year during which I believe Mytrah will achieve its target of becoming one of the largest renewable IPPs in India."
*EBITDA is calculated by taking the consolidated loss on continuing operations of USD 0.70 million (H1'10: loss of USD 0.44 million) and adding back tax, depreciation and finance costs amounting to USD 0.28 million (H1'10: USD nil), 0.62 million (H1'10: USD nil) and 0.74 million (H1'10: USD nil) respectively

Chairman and CEO Statement:
I am very pleased to announce Mytrah's interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2011.
India Economy and Energy Market
Despite the challenging global economic environment, rising inflation and slowing demand, the World Bank still expects the India economy to grow by 8% in 2011-2012. A significant potential inhibitor to GDP growth in India continues to be the shortage of power supply. With a population of approximately 1.1 billion as at March 2011, India had energy generating capacity of only 175 GW compared to China's population of approximately 1.3 billion and energy generating capacity of 860 GW. Progress in increasing installed capacity to the government's target of 342 GW by March 2017 has been slow and the country's demand for energy remains unabated.
As I have previously highlighted, India is currently the world's fifth largest wind energy producer with 13 GW of installed capacity. As this market continues to mature I believe that we will continue to see regulatory incentives move away from tax based incentives towards IPP production. Along with the introduction of the Generation Based Incentive for which revenue has been accrued during the current period, we have recently seen the introduction of the Renewable Energy Certificate ("REC"), which the Group is currently in the process of registering for. Recent trading of the REC has been towards its upper band at approximately Rs 3.00/Unit (~USD 0.06/Unit), and there has also been a significant increase in the volumes traded. I believe that the REC market may provide significant returns for the Group in the future as the demand supply gap for RECs is expected to remain for the foreseeable future.
I believe that as the Indian wind market grows Mytrah is well placed to become one of India's largest renewable IPPs. I remain confident that our strategy of being a first mover to secure a leading position in our market is a compelling one and has the potential for generating significant shareholder value.
Operational and Development Review
In order to achieve our strategy, the Board set an ambitious target of 5 GW of installed capacity by 2017. To meet this target, we have entered into strong partnerships with two of the world's leading wind turbine manufacturers, Suzlon and Gamesa. The Board believes these agreements will enable the Group to install capacity on a utility scale at a competitive cost with low lead times to construction and minimal execution and development risk.
During the period our first two projects totalling 67.2 MW were installed ahead of schedule and I am pleased to report that these two projects are performing in line with our expectations. These initial projects delivered our maiden revenue of USD 2.27 million for the period. Our Indian subsidiary, MEIL is now profitable posting a profit in the period of USD 0.55 million (H1'10: loss of USD 0.44 million).
During the period we placed a further 260 MW of orders with Suzlon taking the total portfolio of assets commissioned or under construction to 360 MW by September 2011. The senior debt financing for the majority of this commitment has been secured, and we are in discussions with lenders for the remaining senior debt funding of USD 72.60 million. In addition we have recently announced that we are planning to place purchase orders for a further 143 MW capacity, once financing has been obtained, comprising 63 MW to be placed with Suzlon and 79.9 MW to be placed with Gamesa. Once placed and combined with our previous orders the Group's total sites will have grown to 500 MW, with 11 projects either commissioned or under construction.
Significant progress has been made with regard to the financing of our development pipeline. During the period we announced two tranches of mezzanine financing in the form of CCDs and CCPSs totalling USD 111.50 million and I believe that this will result in enhanced equity returns for investors. The Group expects to repurchase/buy-back both the CCDs and CCPSs from internal cash flows and/or the issue of senior debt instruments, bonds or other debt refinancing, within three to five years so that there is no equity dilution for Mytrah's existing shareholders. I believe that securing this financing was a significant step forward for the business and that it is the first time that an IPP in the wind sector in India has been able to arrange this type of financing.
In addition we recently announced a further tranche of mezzanine financing which will be provided by the issue of CCDs for USD 20.15 million. Together with the previous tranches of similar financing, this latest tranche will take the Group's total mezzanine funding to USD 131.65 million.
Equally important as our access to the equity and mezzanine market has been our ability to secure senior debt financing. We have recently announced that the Group has secured senior loan funding totalling USD 120.92 million. The Group is in discussions with lenders for a further USD 72.60 million of senior debt financing.
I believe that Mytrah's continued access to financing will enable the Group to maintain its rapid growth and demonstrates the Group's business strength in India.
Financial Results
The Group posted its maiden revenue of USD 2.27 million (H1'10: USD nil) as our first commissioned projects became operational during the period, and I am pleased to say that these assets have performed in line with our expectations.
I am pleased to report that for the period ended 30 September 2011 the Group achieved profitability at EBITDA level at USD 0.94 million (H1'10: loss of USD 0.44 million). EBITDA is calculated by taking the consolidated loss on continuing operations of USD 0.70 million (H1'10: loss of USD 0.44 million) and adding back, depreciation and finance costs amounting to USD 0.28 million (H1'10: USD nil), 0.62 million (H1'10: USD nil) and 0.74 million (H1'10: USD nil) respectively.
At a consolidated level the Group recorded a loss from continuing operations of USD 0.70 million (H1'10: loss of USD 0.44million) which was in line with our expectations and is largely due to revenues being generated part way into the period.
Due to the 10.54% fall in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and US dollar, there is an exchange loss on translating foreign operations of USD 9.08 million (H1'10: USD 0.01 million) included within a total other comprehensive loss of USD 8.96 million (H1'10: USD 0.01 million), this is a translation reserve and has no cash impact.
The cash used in operations during the period was USD 1.63 million (H1'10: USD 0.05 million). At 30 September 2011 the Group had cash and bank balances of USD 1.47 million (FY11: USD 16.86 million). The Group also had USD 24.45 million (FY11: USD nil) invested in mutual fund units and bonds. The Group has made progress in developing wind farm assets, and at the period end had wind farms assets commissioned totalling USD 69.07 million (FY'11: nil) and wind farms assets under the course of construction of USD 4.47 million (FY'11: nil). Further, the Group had made advance payments of USD 89.77 million (FY11: USD 29.92 million) towards the development of further wind farm assets.
Summary
The Group has continued to meet its milestones and maintain its high rate of expansion. We are fully committed to our strategy of building one of India's leading IPP by achieving 5GW of wind power generation by 2017, the Group expects to continue to grow through deploying cash revenues from operations as they come on stream and seeking further financing opportunities to utilise our strong pipeline of projects and expand our wind generating capacity. Given the demand in India for energy, along with specific incentives to encourage the supply of renewable energy, and the fragmented nature of the existing wind energy market, your Board believes the Group is well placed to achieve its ambitious targets and generate additional value for shareholders.

Independent review report to Mytrah Energy Limited
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 September 2011 which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of financial position, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, the condensed consolidated cash flow statement and related notes 1 to 21. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to it in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
Directors' responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.
As disclosed in Note 1, the annual financial statements of the company are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting," as adopted by the European Union.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 September 2011 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.

1.3 Significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been presented for the six months ended 30 September 2011 in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2011, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS's) as adopted by the European Union. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been reviewed, not audited and were approved for issue by the Board on 21 December 2011. The financial information contained in this report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined by sections 243-245 of the Companies (Guernsey) Law 2008. A copy of the Group's audited statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2011 can be obtained from the Company's website or writing to the Company Secretary. The independent auditor's report on those accounts was unqualified did not include a reference to any matters which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and did not contain a statement under 263 (3) of the Companies (Guernsey) Law 2008.The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies set out in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2011, except for the new accounting policy described in Note 1.4.
The Group has made a number of capital commitments as described in Note 7. The capital commitments are in relation the supply of additional wind farm assets, the supply of which the Directorsconsider are aligned to the business plan. The Group's forecast which covers the period 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements shows that there is a senior debt requirement of USD 47 million that remains to be obtained. The Directors are in discussions with a number of lenders and are confident the financing will be in place for when the commitments crystallise. The Directors are confident that if the financing was not finalised, they would be able to re-negotiate the terms the supply of the wind farm assets that have been committed to with the supplier. Further, if this was not possible, the Directors believe that the Group's maximum liability under the agreements is capped at a level within available resources.
Therefore, after making enquiries and assessing the Group's financial position, anticipated future performance, its available and planned bank facilities and capital expenditure plans, together with other risks facing the Group, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.
1.4 Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and these benefits can be measured reliably.
Sale of electricity
Revenue from the sale of electricity is recognised when earned on the basis of contractual arrangements and reflects the number of units supplied in accordance with joint meter readings undertaken on a monthly basis by representatives of the buyer and the Group at rates stated in the contract, net of any actual or expected trade discounts.
Generation-based incentives
Revenue from generation-based incentives are recognised based on the number of units supplied at INR 0.50 (~USD 0.01) per unit , when registration under the relevant programme has taken place and its eligibility criteria met under the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited ('IREDA') - Generation Based Incentive scheme.

12. Compulsory Convertible Preference Shares
In July 2011 the Group issued 5,833,233 Series A compulsory convertible preference shares ("CCPS") at Rs.300 (~USD 6) each to India Infrastructure Fund ("IIF") under an Investment Agreement between the Group, IIF and Mr. Ravi Kailas. The following are the salient features of the CCPS:
·; IIF are entitled to receive a preference dividend before any dividends are declared to the ordinary shareholders. These carry a step-up dividend, which is cumulative.
·; The Company entered into an option agreement with IIF on the same date whereby the Company can call the CCPS (the "call option") or alternatively, IIF can put the CCPS (the "put option") in exchange for cash providing IIF a stated rate of return. The call option can be exercised at any time after four years three months and the put option can be exercised at any time after five years three months from the date of issue.
·; The CCPS convert into equity shares of MEIL at a fixed price of Rs.300 (~USD 6) per share, for a fixed number of shares, at the end of six years if the call and put options are not exercised by either of the parties.
·; As part of the investment agreement, IIF were issued with 100 ordinary shares in MEIL (see Note 11).
Consistent with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation, and IAS 39Financial Instruments: Measurement, on initial recognition, the issue proceeds have been segregated in the financial statements.
The issue proceeds of USD 37,520,008 (net of issue costs of USD 1,564,067) were first attributed to the embedded derivatives, with the fair value of the options amounting to USD 1,386,950. As the instrument entitles the holder to a fixed number of shares the remaining value of the proceeds are bifurcated such that there is a liability component and an equity component. The liability component, being USD 6,132,552was estimated by discounting the mandatory preference share dividend of six year cashflows using an interest rate from an equivalent instrument without a conversion feature, with the residual value of USD 30,000,506 representing equity. The effective interest rate on the financial liability is 5.6%.
The options are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss, and the financial liability is subsequently measured at amortised cost. Theperiod end balance of the options was USD 1,242,351, (See condensed consolidated statement of financial position), for the liability component of the preference shares was USD 5,937,517, (see condensed consolidated statement of financial position) and for the equity component of the CCPSs was USD, 30,000,506 (see Note 11).

During the period MEIL has drawn down the term loan facility with Infrastructure Development Finance Company Limited ("IDFC") to finance the construction of wind farm assets. The carrying amount of the liability measured at amortised cost is USD 35,515,892. In compliance with the terms of the loan agreement MEIL has created a charge on all project movable, immovable properties, cash flows, receivables and revenues in favour of IDFC. The effective interest rate on the term loan is 12.98%. The loan is for a period of 14 years and will be maturing on 15 September 2024.
During the period MEIL has drawn down USD 9,049,977 in the form of Letter of Credit facility from Indusind Bank to finance the construction of wind farm assets. The financial liability is measured at amortised cost. The effective interest rate on this facility is 10.50%. The amount is repayable in February 2012.
15. Compulsory Convertible Debentures
In August 2011 the Group issued 5,000,000 compulsory convertible debentures ("CCDs") at Rs. 300 (~ USD 6) each to Infrastructure Development Finance Company Limited ("IDFC") including any of its affiliates (the "Investor") under an agreement between the Group and IDFC. The purpose of this is to fund the capital projects of the Group. The following are the significant terms in relation to the CCDs:
·; the CCDs carry a fixed rate of interest payable quarterly in arrears on the principal amount of the CCDs outstanding;
·; the CCDs, along with unpaid interest, if any, mandatorily convert into such number of equity shares of MEIL at the end of 48 months from the date of issue so as to provide the investor a stated rate of return;
·; The CCDs will be secured by collateral support in the form of pledge of Bindu Urja Capital Inc (which Ravi Kailas controls) shareholding, certain non-disposal undertakings by the Company and an irrevocable and unconditional corporate guarantee by the Company to IDFC, the details of which are being finalised.
Further, the Group entered into an option agreement with IDFC on the same date whereby IDFC can put the CCDs (the "put option") or alternatively, the Group can call the CCDs (the "call option") in exchange for cash providing IDFC a stated rate of return. The call option can be exercised any time after 18 months from the date of issue whereas the put option can be exercised over a period beginning from 36 months to 48 months from the date of issue of CCDs.
Consistent with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation, and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Measurement, on initial recognition, the issue proceeds have been segregated in the financial statements. The issue proceeds of USD 32,661,428 (net of issue costs of USD 388,848) were first attributed to the fair value of the options, amounting to USD 5,068 with the residual allocated to the financial liability amounting to USD 32,656,360, with the effective interest rate being 15.1%. The options are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss, and the financial liability is subsequently measured at amortised cost. The period end balance of the options was USD 4,608 (see condensed consolidated statement of financial position) and for the CCD financial liability was USD 30,513,441 (see Note 14).

19. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Options to purchase ordinary shares that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because they are anti dilutive were 4,877,400 at 30 September 2011, and 4,877,400 at 31 March 2011.
The impact of the CCDs (see Note 15) and the CCPSs (see Note 12) in the period is anti-dilutive.

The financial statements combine the results, assets and liabilities of the Group businesses acquired by the Company under the reorganisation prior to IPO. To reflect this in the earnings per share calculation for the six month period ending 30 September 2010, the weighted average number of shares has been calculated on the basis that the number of shares outstanding in the comparative period was the number of shares outstanding after the completion of the IPO.
