Chairman’s Statement

I have pleasure  in  presenting  the  results  for  the  financial  year  ended  31st  March  2010  which  is  the 
second set of full year results since the listing of the Company on AIM in May 2008.

Financial Results

Group revenue of GBP 12.87 Million (2009: GBP 7.31 Million) includes a full year contribution from the 
10 MW waste heat plant commissioned in September 2008. The revenue for the year includes sale of 
power in the short term market at attractive prices. 

Income from continuing operations before tax, period expenses relating to projects under construction 
and non-recurring items was GBP 6.62 Million (2009: GBP 5.75 Million). 

Progress

The principal  milestone  attained  by  your  Company  since  the  previous  year’s  report  has  been  the 
commissioning, in April 2010, of the 77 MW coal fired power plant near Chennai.  The Company has 
thus delivered the first of the two major projects for which resources were raised in the AIM listing.

Following this development, the operating capacity of your Company’s plants now stands at 107 MW, 
an increase of over 250 % from the previous level of about 30 MW.  The commissioning of the 77 MW 
plant represents the first step in the transformation of your company to a power producer,  whose 
stated aim is to achieve a critical mass of 400 MW and beyond over the next few years.

The Environmental Clearance for the Gujarat project has now been obtained and construction on site 
will commence shortly.

The Indian Economy & the Power Sector

In my previous report to shareholders, I referred to a growth rate of 6.7 % attained by the Indian
Economy in 2008 – 09, a significant result given the overall global economic conditions prevailing
during that period. Early indications are that the growth rate is likely to be 7.5 % if not higher for the 
year 2009 - 10, a significant level of performance in the context of the slow growth in major world 
economies and second only to that of China among the BRIC countries.

The growth rate announced for the most recent quarter (January – March 2010) is still higher at 8.6 
% and, within this overall growth rate, growth in the manufacturing sector has been higher at 10.3 %,
indicating strong consumer spending on cars and other manufactured goods. The corollary to this rate
of industrial growth is, of course, increased demand for power with a multiplier effect, usually thought 
to be about 1.2 times the growth in other sectors.

1

1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:25 Page 2

Per capita electricity consumption has risen from 566 Kwh in 2003 to 704 Kwh in 2008.  However, the 
creation of new generating capacity of some 27 GW (2007 – 10) suggests the 5 year target of 78 GW 
(2007 -12) will not be met. This is underscored by an all-India peak power deficit of 13.3 % as at March 
2010 (2009: 11.1 %). As a result, investment in power generation continues to be a highly promising 
proposition.

The Current Year  

With the increased throughput of power available from the 77 MW facility and, given buoyant conditions 
in the power market, the current year promises increased growth and scale of operations for the Group.  
OPG looks to the year ahead with confidence and enthusiasm.

Chief Executive’s Review of Operations

The commissioning of the 77 MW power plant in April 2010, immediately following the financial year 
end, rounded off another year of progress for your Company.  With an operating capacity today of 107 
MW, we look ahead to the completion of the 2 x 150 MW development under way in Kutch, Gujarat.

Significant Developments during the Period

The newly commissioned 77 MW facility is undergoing a period of stabilization.  We expect to stabilize 
the output at high levels.

As previously announced, the Environmental clearance in respect  of  the  2  x  150  Mw  Kutch  project 
has now been received. Site work will commence in August 2010.  Tata Power Ltd are taking steps 
to expedite the implementation of the project.  An assured supply of coal from the public sector coal 
mines for the life of the plant has been obtained from the Government of India for 70 % of the fuel 
requirements of the Kutch plant. This linkage spells enhanced fuel security and diversity for this unit 
when it goes on stream.

Following the Carbon Credit registration in respect of the 19.4 MW gas fired  plant  at  Mayavaram 
received last year, a process of validation and verification is expected to be completed in about three 
months. Certified Emission Reductions will become available for trading thereafter.  For the 10 MW 
waste heat fired facility near Chennai, a similar process of validation of the emission levels is also under 
way on completion of which, Verified Emission Reductions will become available.

Financial Review

The Group’s revenue  during  the  year  ended  March  31,  2010  was  GBP  12.87  Million  (2009:  GBP  7.3 
Million). Profit from Continuing Operations  before  Tax,  period  expenses  relating  to  projects  under 
construction and extraordinary items at GBP 6.62 Million (2009: GBP 5.75 Million) was after provision 
of GBP 1.20 Million towards amortization for the period of fair value cost of stock options awarded, a
non cash item (2009: Nil). The Net Income after Taxes amounted to GBP 4.02 Million (2009: GBP
5.33 Million inclusive of a one time release of negative goodwill of GBP 1.49 Million) with EBITDA for
the period (prior to deduction of pre-operative expenses on new projects in the course of construction) 
being GBP 5.43 Million. Cash as at 31 March 2010 was GBP 14.17 Million.

Operational Review

The 19.4 MW gas-cum-waste heat fired plant at Mayavaram operated satisfactorily for the seventh year
running. On account of a reduction in gas flow from the on shore fields, the plant output levels for the

3

 
1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:25 Page 4

year were 71 % as against 83 % in the previous year.  During the year ahead the gas flow position has 
improved and a higher output level for the plant is forecast.

The 10 MW waste heat  fired  facility  operated  satisfactorily  during  its  second  year  of  continuous 
operation. Output levels averaged a stable 78 % of capacity.

A sizeable proportion of the total generation from these two plants was sold on the short term markets 
at higher realizations. The average price earned during the year was Rs. 5.54 per Kwh (2009: Rs 4.11).

Projects in the Pipeline

We reported last year that further expansion of the facilities at the Chennai 77 MW plant and at the 
Kutch 2 x 150 MW development was under active consideration.

In Chennai, it will be possible to add three further units of 77 / 80 MW at the existing site.  Aside from 
the availability of land, we hold final Environmental clearance in respect of an additional unit.  Firm 
offers of debt have been obtained in respect of all three additional units as well as coal linkages from 
the Government of India.

Outlook

With the enhanced generation capacity and the buoyant power markets, we anticipate an increase in 
operating and financial performance in 2010 – 11.  The key next step for us is to commence ground 
works on our site at Kutch in August.  Our focus will continue to remain the development and operation 
of power generation assets and the achievement of higher sale realizations.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The management of the business and the implementation of the Group’s plans are potentially exposed 
to a variety of risks. A fuller listing of the risks factors that could potentially affect the Group is laid out 
in the Group’s AIM Admission Document. The principal risks affecting the Group are discussed below.

Financial risk
The Group deals with a variety of financial instruments and bank loans as well as trade debtors and 
trade creditors resulting from its operations. These financial instruments are used in the normal course 
of business to support and conduct the Group’s ongoing operations and business plans. The principal
risks associated with such financial instruments are interest rate and credit risk as the Group conducts
its business operations exclusively within the Indian domain.

The Directors review these risks on an ongoing basis.

7

1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:25 Page 8

The Regulatory Environment

The power industry in India is subject to regulation. Both pricing and access are, in general, regulated 
by government agencies. Although the power sector in the  country  is  increasingly  being  liberalized, 
specific policies and regulatory pronouncements could result in potential changes likely to affect the 
Group’s business operations. Whilst the Group operates in segments of the industry, namely the Group 
Captive producer and short term market, which are relatively less regulated, the regulatory environment 
and changes thereto are closely monitored so as to manage the Group’s operations in a pro-active and 
efficient manner.

Fuel security
Fuel sourcing which is the basis of all power generation initiatives has a number of risks associated 
with it such as sourcing, quality, freight and pricing risks. The Group seeks to counteract the effects of 
these risks by spreading its sourcing among different suppliers to supply feedstock and to reduce third 
country dependence by obtaining firm commitments for coal under the Government of India’s policy 
from the public sector mines. Other risk mitigation measures such as flexibly designing the plant and 
equipment to accept a wide range of coal, location of the plants near major ports or gas fields and so 
on are also resorted to.

Completion Risk
The Group has one project under development and intends to build additional power generation assets 
in the future. Any delays in construction could result in an adverse impact on the Group’s financial 
results. The Group regularly reviews its pipeline and Projects under construction to mitigate any such 
risks.

Competition
The Group faces competition from both state utilities as well as from other private producers of power. 
Existing and potential competitors may have access to greater resources than the Group. This could 
potentially give such players a competitive edge as compared  to  the  Group’s  market  position  and 
capabilities. The Group regularly reviews the business environment to develop appropriate strategic 
responses to present  and  emerging  competition  and  to  consolidate  and  position  itself  as  a  power 
producer with sufficient capacity and critical mass.

Auditors
At the annual general meeting held on the 16th July, 2009, Deloitte & Touche, Douglas, Isle of Man were 
appointed as auditors to the Company. Upon their resignation the Board appointed Deloitte, Haskins
& Sells, Chennai, another constituent member of the Deloitte partnership worldwide, as auditor to the
Company. A resolution to ratify the appointment of Deloitte Haskins & Sells as auditors, in place of
Deloitte & Touche, and to ratify the auditor’s remuneration agreed by the Board will be placed before
the shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of the Company.

Report on Corporate Governance 

Policy Statement

In accordance with the statements made in the Admission Document at the time of the IPO in May 
2008 the Board is creating a Corporate Governance framework commensurate with the emerging scale 
of the Group. While full compliance with the Combined Code is not a formal obligation,  the  Board 
has taken and will take steps to implement a growing framework that takes account of the Scale of 
operations.

Board and Committees 

The Board

The Board comprises two Executive  Directors  and  four  Non-executive  Directors.  The  roles  of  the 
Chairman and Chief Executive are separated. Of the four Non-executive Directors three are independent. 
They are the Chairman who is based in Delhi and there are two UK based Non-executive Directors. 
The Board meets at least four times a year, The  Board  papers  include  matters  relating  to  strategy, 
investments including both new and expansionary capital items, operating  budgets  and  monthly 
management accounts (including cash flows). Non-executive Directors have access to all information 
and, if required, external advice at the expense of the Company.

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee comprises  Mr  M.C.  Gupta,  Mr  Ravi  Gupta,  Mr  Mike  Grasby  and  Mr 
Martin Gatto. Mr Ravi Gupta has not been present when any remuneration matter relating to the Chief 
Executive has been discussed as he is related to Mr Arvind  Gupta.  The  Committee  operates  under 
Terms of Reference approved by the Board. The principal matters discussed in the period have been 
the creation of the Share Option Scheme Rules and a recommendation on the issue of share options 
which subsequently were approved by the Board.  

Nominations Committee
A Nominations Committee has not been needed in the period.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee comprises Mr MC Gupta, Mr Ravi Gupta, Mr Mike Grasby and Mr Martin
Gatto. The Chief Executive and Finance Director attend by invitation. The Committee operates under
Terms of Reference approved by the Board and there is provision for the Committee to meet with the

1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:25 Page 10

Internal control and risk management 

The Board is responsible for maintaining an appropriate system of internal control to provide reasonable 
(but not absolute) assurance of the quality and reliability of financial and operating information used to 
assess the business, safeguard assets and recognize liabilities in accordance with the relevant company 
law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The Group faces financial risks such as currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. The 
Group’s risk management programme aims to minimize potential adverse performance on the Group’s 
financial performance. The Finance Director  and  Managing  Director  monitor  and  manage  financial 
risks. The Group does not enter into or trade in financial instruments or derivatives for speculative 
purposes.

The Group is evaluating the new operating risks associated with the coal based power plants that has 
been commissioned in order to develop of frame work for managing operating risks.

Going concern

The Directors have  reviewed  the  financial  position  of  the  Group  having  regard  to  its  cash  needs  in 
completing the major projects which are in progress. Each project and operation is incorporated within 
its specific special purpose  vehicle,  (SPV),  and  borrowings  are  specific  to  each  SPV  without  cross 
guarantees. The loan funds needed to complete projects in progress are committed and being drawn 
under binding contracts. The IPO raised the equity portions needed for the various committed projects. 
The Directors are satisfied that, having taken all these  factors  into  account  and  given  that  trading 
subsidiaries are cash generative, it is appropriate to prepare accounts on a going concern basis. 

Investor relations

Management endeavours to maintain regular dialogue with institutions and the financial community, 
particularly in relation to the half-year and full-year results. In the period, meetings with investors were 
offered on at least three occasions and the UK based directors took an active part in those meetings. The 
Group website has an investor section and all regulatory announcements, including these Accounts, 
are posted therein, www.opgpower.com.

An electronic version of these Accounts is available from the Company Secretary on request.

* The ownership structure results in a “Non Controlling” voting and economic stake in OPGE and
OPGRE, with captive customers holding the majority of shares. However, voting agreements have
been entered into with key shareholders - Tamil Nadu Property Developers and Salem Food Products by
which there is a commitment that these shareholders will exercise all voting rights in accordance with
the directions of OPGPG (in the case of OPGE) and G E Cyprus (in the case of OPGRE). This gives
the Group effective voting control about 66% of OPGRE shares and 67% of OPGE shares. As such, the
results of OPGE and OPGRE will be consolidated in producing group accounts for OPGPV.

The activities of the various entities listed above are as detailed below:

Note 2 : Significant accounting policies

2.1
2.1.1

Adoption of New and Revised Standards
Standards and Interpretations effective in the Reporting Period

The following new and revised Standards and interpretations have been adopted in these consolidated 
financial statements. Their adoption has not had any significant impact  on  the  amounts  reported 
in these consolidated financial statements but may affect the accounting for future transactions  or 
arrangements.

IFRS 8: Operating Results

Amendments to IFRS 2: Share-based Pay-
ment – the Vesting Conditions and Can-
cellations

IFRS  8  is  a  disclosure  Standard  that  requires  re-  
designation of the Group’s  reportable  segments   
based on the segments. The Managing Director of 
the Group is the Chief Operating Decision Maker 
(CODM) to allocate resources and assess  perfor-
mance.

The amendments  clarify  the  definition  of  vesting 
conditions for the purposes of IFRS 2, introduce 
concept of ‘non- vesting’ conditions, and clarify the 
accounting treatment for cancellations.

21

1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:26 Page 22

IAS 23 (as revised in 2007) - Borrowing
Costs

Amendments to IAS 32:
Financial Instruments: Presentation and
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial
State-
instruments
ments - Puttable Financial
and Obligations Arising on Liquidation

IFRIC 13: Customer Loyalty Programmes

IFRIC 16: Hedges of Net Investment in a
Foreign operation.

IFRIC 9

IFRS 1

The principal change to the Standard was to elimi-
nate the option to expense all borrowing costs 
when incurred. This change has had no impact on 
these consolidated financial statements because it 
has always been the Group’s accounting policy to
capitalize borrowing costs incurred on qualifying
assets

The revisions to IAS 32 amend the criteria for debt/
equity classification by permitting certain puttable 
financial instruments and instruments (or compo-
nents of instruments)  that  impose  on  an    entity 
an obligation to deliver to another party a pro-rata
share of the net assets of the entity only on liquida-
tion, to be classified as equity, subject to specified 
criteria being met.

The  Interpretation  provides  guidance  on  how  en-
tities should account for customer loyalty pro-
grammes by allocating revenue on sale to possible
future award attached to the sale.

The Interpretation  provides  guidance  on  the  de-
tailed requirements for net investment hedging for 
certain hedge accounting designations

Amendment to IFRIC 9 (revised): Reassessment of 
Embedded Derivatives relating to assessment  of 
embedded derivatives in case of reclassification of
financial assets out of the FVTPL category;

(Revised) First time Adoption of IFRS - Amend-
ment relating to cost of an Investment  in  a 
Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associ-
ate;

jority effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,2010);

beginning on or after July 1, 2009); and

annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010).

material financial impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

These accounting policies have been consistently applied to the results, gains and losses, assets,
liabilities and cash flows of all entities included in the consolidated financial statements for all the
periods presented unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are presented in Great Britain
Pounds (GBP/£)

23

 
1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:26 Page 24

The financial information has been prepared on an historical cost basis. In the process of applying the 
Group’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions 
that may affect the financial statements. Management  believes  that  the  judgments  made  in  the 
preparation of the historical financial information are reasonable. Actual results could materially differ 
from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting 
estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that 
period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future 
periods. Judgments made by management in the application of IFRS that have significant effect on the 
historical financial information and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next
year are discussed in note 3.20. Also refer Policy 2.2.

2.4

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the company and entities 
controlled by the Company made up to 31st March each year.

Intra-group balances and transactions  and  any  resulting  unrealised  gains  arising  from  intra-group 
transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions 
are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Amounts reported in the financial statements of 
the subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies 
adopted by the Group.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities 
controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) made up to 31 March each year. Control is achieved where 
the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to 
obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently 
exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. 
Controlled entities are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. 
They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The excess of cost of acquisition over the group’s interest in the net value of the identifiable assets, 
liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiaries on the date of acquisition is accounted as Goodwill 
arising on consolidation. If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s 
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, 
the excess is recognised immediately in profit. Goodwill is initially recognized as an asset at Cost and 
subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. 

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity therein. The
interests of non controlling shareholders may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-
controlling interests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The
choice of measurement basis is made on an acquisition by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition,
the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition
plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity. Total comprehensive income
is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a
deficit balance.

Changes in the Group’s interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for
as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests

24

1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:26 Page 25

are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between 
the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration 
paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference 
between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained 
interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the 
subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive 
income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred 
directly to retained earnings) in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities 
were disposed of. The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when 
control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IAS 39 
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition 
of an investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity.

2.5

Foreign Currency

2.5.1 Translation to Presentation Currency

The functional currency of the Indian subsidiaries in Indian Rupee (INR) and Cyprus and IOM Company 
is Great British Pound (GBP).

Functional and presentation currency: Items included in the financial statements in each of the Group’s 
entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment  in  which  the  entity 
operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Great Britain 
Pound (£), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

At the reporting date the assets and liabilities of the Indian entities are translated into the presentation 
currency, which is the Great Britain Pound (£) at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date 
and the income statement is translated at the average exchange rate for that year. Exchange differences 
arising, if any, are classified as equity and recognised in the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve. 
Such exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation 
is disposed of.

2.5.2 Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the 
transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date 
are translated into functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange
differences arising on translation are recognized in the Income statement. Non-monetary assets and
liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments, arising on consolidation of financial statements and presentation
of financial instruments acquired other than by subscription of subsidiaries, are treated as assets of the
purchasing entity.

Goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Impairment review is performed
at least annually. Any impairment is recognized immediately in the income statement and is not
subsequently reversed.

25

 
1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:26 Page 26

On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, 
or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, loss of joint 
control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or loss of significant influence 
over an associate that includes a foreign operation),all  of  the  accumulated  exchange  differences  in 
respect of that operation attributable to the Group are reclassified  to  profit  or  loss.  Any  exchange 
differences that have previously been attributed to non-controlling interests are derecognised, but they 
are not reclassified to profit or loss.

In the case of a partial disposal (i.e. no loss of control) of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, 
the proportionate share of accumulated  exchange  differences  are  re-attributed  to  non-controlling 
interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. of associates or 
jointly controlled entities not involving a change of accounting basis), the proportionate share of the 
accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation  are  treated  as 
assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

2.6

Property, Plant and Equipment

2.6.1 Owned assets

Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Direct 
cost is capitalized until the asset is ready for use and includes inward freight, duties  and  expenses 
incidental to acquisition and installation.

The cost of self constructed assets includes the cost of material  and  direct  labour,  any  other  costs 
directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the cost of 
dismantling and removing any items on and restoring the site on which they are located.

Parts of some items of property, plant and equipment require replacement at regular intervals. OPG 
recognizes in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part 
of such an item when that cost is incurred and correspondingly, any carrying amount of those parts that 
are replaced is derecognized.

Certain items of plant and equipment require the performance of regular major inspections for faults 
regardless of whether parts of the item are replaced. When each major inspection is performed, its cost 
is recognized in the carrying amount of the item of property, plant and equipment as a replacement and 
any remaining carrying amount of the previous inspection is derecognized. This occurs regardless of 
whether the cost of previous inspection was identified in the transaction in which the item was acquired 
or constructed. Where necessary, the estimated cost of a future similar inspection is be used as an
indication of what the cost of the existing inspection component was when the item was acquired or
constructed.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing
the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognized
within “other gains and losses” for gains and “other operating expenses” for losses in the statement of
income.

26

 
1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:26 Page 27

2.6.2 Depreciation

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided based on the straight line method over the 
economic useful life of assets as estimated by the management,  on  a  pro-rata  basis.  The  economic 
useful lives estimated by the management for depreciation of the assets are as under:

Asset

Building

Plant and Machinery

Furniture and Fixtures

Office Equipments

Vehicles

Computers

Estimated
useful life
(years)

30

4-30

5-15

3-10

5-11

3

The useful life of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually and, wherever a change is made to 
the estimates of useful life of an asset, the depreciation charge is adjusted.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the primary period of the lease or estimated useful lives 
of the assets whichever is less. Assets under construction are not depreciated, as they are not ready for 
use.

2.6.3 Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, 
which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or 
sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their 
intended use or sale.

Transaction cost incurred on raising long term borrowings are deferred in the year of payment and are 
capitalized as part of costs of the qualifying asset and depreciated over the useful life on straight line 
method.

Borrowing cost, including amortization  of  transaction  cost  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  or 
construction of qualifying property, plant and equipment are capitalized as part of the cost of asset when 
it is probable they will result in future economic benefit and the cost can be measured reliably. 

2.6.4 Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment

The Group’s property, plant and equipment are subject to impairment testing.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are
separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually
for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.

All individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

27

1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:26 Page 28

An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the assets or cash-generating unit’s carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting 
market conditions less costs to sell and value in use, based on an internal discounted  cash  flow 
evaluation. The impairment loss is charged pro rata to the assets in the cash-generating unit. All assets 
are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss  previously  recognized  may  no 
longer exist.

Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications 
that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed  if  there  has  been  a 
change in the estimate used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only 
to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been 
determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

2.7

Financial Assets

Investments are recognized and derecognized on the date of trade where the purchase or sale of an 
investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe 
established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs, 
except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss,  which  are  initially 
measured at fair value.

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories:  financial  assets  ‘at  fair  value 
through profit or loss’ (FVTPL), ‘held-to-maturity’ investments, ‘available-for-sale’ (AFS) financial assets 
and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets 
and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

2.7.1 Held to Maturity Investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments 
and fixed maturity. Investments are classified  as  held-to-maturity  if  it  is  the  intention  of  Group’s 
management to hold them until maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are subsequently measured at 
amortized cost using the effective interest method. In addition, if there is objective evidence that the 
investment has been impaired, the financial asset is measured at the present value of estimated cash 
flows. Any changes to the carrying amount of the investment are recognized in income statement.

2.7.2 Available for Sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not 
classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management 
intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date – the date on which
the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus
transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through income statement. Financial
assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or
have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
Available for sale financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are carried
at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

28

1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:26 Page 29

Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are 
recognized in equity. When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated 
fair value adjustments recognized in equity are included in the income statement as ‘financial expenses 
(gains and losses from investment securities)’.

Dividends on available-for-sale mutual fund units are recognized in the income statement as part of 
other income.

2.7.3 Impairment of Financial Assets

A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence 
that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that 
one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. In case 
of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, objective evidence would include a significant or 
prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset  measured  at  amortised  cost  is  calculated  as  the 
difference between its carrying amount, and the present value  of  the  estimated  future  cash  flows 
discounted at the original effective interest rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for sale 
financial asset is calculated by reference to its fair value. 

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining 
financial assets are assessed collectively in Groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any cumulative loss in respect of an available for-
sale financial asset recognised previously in equity is transferred to profit or loss.

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the 
impairment loss was recognised. For available-for-sale  financial  assets  that  are  equity  securities,  the 
reversal is recognised directly in equity.

2.8

Trade and other Receivables

Trade receivables are initially measured at fair value and subsequently  measured  at  amortized  cost 
using the effective interest rate method. They are as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated 
irrecoverable amounts. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is
objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original 
term of the receivable. The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and 
the recoverable amount and this difference is recognized in the income statement. Interest income is 
recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition
of interest would be immaterial.

2.9

Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost is based on the first-in-first-
out principle and includes duties and taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from taxing
authorities), freight inward, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition.

29

1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:26 Page 30

2.10 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits and other short-term highly 
liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of  cash  and  are  subject  to  an 
insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.11

Share Capital

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable  to  the  issue  of  new 
shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Equity instruments, 
convertible into fixed number of ordinary shares at a fixed pre-determined price, and which are exercisable 
after a specific period, are accounted for as and when such instruments are exercised. The transaction 
costs pertaining to such instruments are adjusted against equity.

2.12

Employee Benefits

Short term employee benefits obligations, including salary,  are  measured  on  an  undiscounted  basis 
and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected 
to be paid under short term cash bonus or profit sharing plans if the company  has  a  present  legal 
or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of the past service of the employee and the 
obligation can be estimated reliably.

The Group’s net obligation in respect of gratuity includes amounts payable to employees on termination, 
resignation or retirement on completion of a minimum service period with the Group. The discount rate 
is the yield at the balance sheet date on government bonds that have maturity  dates  approximating 
to the terms of the Group’s obligations. The calculation is performed by a qualified actuary using the 
projected unit credit method. When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased 
benefit relating to past service by employees is recognised as an expense in the income statement on 
a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. To the extent that the 
benefits vest immediately, the expense is recognised immediately in the income statement.

2.12.1 Share based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured 
at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. Details regarding the determination of the fair 
value of equity-settled share-based transactions are set out in note No. 3.17.1. The fair value determined 
at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the 
vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At the end
of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to
vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that
the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-
settled employee benefits reserve.
.
2.13

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of
a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation.

30

1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:26 Page 31

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the 
present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding 
the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to  settle  the  present 
obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered 
from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will 
be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

2.14

Trade Payables

Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using 
the effective interest method.

2.15

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the 
transaction will flow to the Group, and revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the 
fair value of the consideration received or receivable in accordance with the relevant agreements, net of 
discounts, rebates and other applicable taxes and duties. 

Sale of power
Revenue from the sale of electricity is recognised when earned on the basis of contractual arrangement 
with the customers and reflects the value of units supplied including an estimated value of units supplied 
to the customers between the date of their last meter reading and period end.

Financial Income
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest 
rate applicable. Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholders’ / units holders’ 
rights to receive payment have been established. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a 
net basis

2.16 Operating lease payments

Payments made under non-cancellable operating leases are recognized in the income statement on a 
straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Payments made under cancellable operating leases are 
recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred.  

2.17

Pre Operative Expenses

Adminsitration expenses, salaries, travels rents, rates, taxes and other professional fees incurred in
respect in the plants under construction and not directly attributable to cost of assets constructed are
expensed in the period in which they were incurred and has been included as Pre Operative expenses in
the income statement.

2.18

Income Tax

Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized
in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in
which case it is recognized in equity.

31

1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:26 Page 32

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or 
substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous 
years.

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, on  temporary  differences  between 
the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their  tax  base. 
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the 
carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance 
sheet date. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary 
differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the 
reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset 
current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the 
same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets 
on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be 
available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is 
no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

2.19

Earnings per Share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS 
is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable  to  ordinary  shareholders  of  the  Group  by  the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined 
by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number 
of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Refer Note 3.17 for 
the calculation of EPS.

2.20 Significant Estimates in the financial statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain 
critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the 
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The principal accounting policies adopted by the Group in the consolidated financial statements are 
as set out above. The application of a number of these policies required the Group to use a variety of 
estimation techniques and apply judgement to best reflect the substance of underlying transactions.

The Group has determined that a number of its accounting policies can be considered significant, in
terms of the management judgement that has been required to determine the various assumptions
underpinning their application in the consolidated financial statements presented which, under different
conditions, could lead to material differences in these statements.

The policies where significant estimates have been made are as follows:
Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustments to the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

their value in use. The assessment of value in use requires assumptions to be made with respect to 
the operating cash flows of the CGUs as well as the discount rates.

Share based payments – In determining  the  fair  value  of  the  share  based  payments  and  the  related 
charge to the statement of comprehensive income, certain assumptions have to be made about future 
events and market conditions. In particular, judgments were made about the likely number of options 
that would vest, and the fair value of the option granted, which si again dependent on other assumptions 
like market volatility, dividend policy, prevailing interest rates etc.

The Group has adopted IFRS 8 Operating Segments with effect from 1 April 2009.  IFRS  8  requires 
operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group 
that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the
segments and to assess their performance. In contrast, the predecessor Standard  (IAS  14  Segment 
Reporting) required an entity to identify two sets of segments (business and geographical),  using  a 
risks and returns approach, with the entity’s ‘system of internal financial reporting to key management 
personnel’ serving only as the starting point for the identification of such segments.

Based upon the risks and returns of the Group and reviews done regularly by the chief operating decision 
maker, the Group has concluded that there is only one business segment, this being the generation and 
sale of electricity to customers. There are no segments classified based on other risks and rewards and 
the power plants are all only in India.

The revenue from sale of power is derived from government undertakings (65.61%)  (Previous  year 
14.37%) and private sector customers (34.39%) (Previous year 85.63%). There is no individual customer 
who accounts for 10% or more of the total revenue except for two government undertakings which are 
considered sovereign risk free from default.

The item “Differences on account of items taxed at zero/lower rates” in the above table represents the
difference between notional Indian income tax at standard rate (not applicable to the Company and
the Cyprus subsidiaries) on the consolidated profits before tax and the actual tax liability of the Indian
subsidiaries.

The Company is subject to Isle of Man corporate tax at the standard rate of zero percent. As such, the
Company’s tax liability is zero. Additionally, Isle of Man does not levy tax on capital gains. However,
considering that the Company’s operations are entirely based in India, the effective tax rate of the
Group has been computed based on the current tax rates prevailing in India. Further, a substantial

35

1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:26 Page 36

portion of the profits of the Group’s India operations are exempt from Indian income taxes being profits 
attributable to generation of power in India. Under the tax holiday the taxpayer can utilize an exemption 
from income taxes for a period of any ten consecutive years out of the fifteen years of commencement 
of the operations. The Group is subject to the provisions of Minimum Alternate Tax (‘MAT’) under the 
Indian Income taxes for the year ended 31 March 2010 and 2009. Accordingly, the Group calculated the 
tax liability for current taxes in India after considering MAT. The MAT Credit as at March 31, 2010 is £ 
1.67 million and a 100% valuation allowance has been considered on a prudent basis. However, the 
Indian entities can avail credit of the MAT paid against future tax liabilities and can carry forward and set 
off within ten years from the end of the financial year in which MAT is paid.

3.17.1 Employee Stock Option Issued to Directors - On 16 July 2009, Board has granted share options  
which are limited to 10% of the Group’s Share Capital(Presently  28,698,979  shares).  Once  granted, 
options must be exercised within ten years of the date of grant otherwise the options lapse.

The Vesting of these options is based on following conditions:

1)

The power plant at Kutch (2x150MW) in the State of Gujarat  must  have  been  in  commercial 
operation for three months.

2)

The closing share price being at least £1.00 for 3 consecutive business days.

Under IFRS 2 – Share Based Payments, these outstanding options being in the nature of share based 
payment, are amortized over the estimated vesting period of 3.71 years (expected completion of Kutch 
Plant - Gujarat by April 2013).

Accordingly, the attributable expense for the period was GBP 1,206,959.

3.17.2 Fair value of share options granted in the year

The weighted average fair value of the share options granted during the financial year is £0.28. Options 
were priced using a Black Scholes Model – European Option. Where relevant, the expected life used in 
the model has been adjusted based on management’s best estimate for the effects of non-transferability, 
exercise restrictions (including the probability of meeting market conditions attached to the option), 
and behavioral considerations. Expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility.

(a)

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk (for example, currency 
risk) interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme places 
stress on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects 
on  the  Group’s  financial  performance.  The  financial  instruments  of  the  Group,  other  than 
derivatives, comprise loans from banks and financial institutions, nonconvertible bonds, demand 
deposits and short-term bank deposits.

(b)

Financial risk management objectives

The Finance Director and Managing Director of the Group, co-ordinate access to domestic and 
international financial markets, monitor and manage the financial risks relating to the operations 
of the Company through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude 
of risks. These risks include fair value interest rate risk component of market risk, credit risk, 
liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.

The Company does not seek to manage fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate
risk on its fixed and floating borrowings, as these risks are managed at the Group level. The
company does not enter into any financial derivative contracts. The Company follows Group’s
policies approved by the board of directors, which provide written principles on, interest rate
risk, credit risk, the use of non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess
liquidity. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is reviewed by the internal auditors on
a continuous basis. The Company does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including
derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:26 Page 44

3.19.2 Market risk

(a)

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group prepares consolidated financial statements in UK Pounds and conducts substantially all its 
business in Indian rupees (‘INR’). As a result, it is subject to foreign currency exchange risk arising from 
exchange rate movements which will affect the Group’s translation of the results and underlying net 
assets of its foreign Subsidiaries. 

(b)

Cash fl ow and fair value interest rate risk

As the Group has no significant interest-bearing assets other than investment  in  bank  deposits,  the 
Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest 
rates. The Company considers that the impact of fair value interest rate  risk  on  investment  in  bank 
deposits is not material. The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings 
issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates 
expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. During the period, the Group’s borrowings at variable 
or fixed rates were entirely denominated in the functional currency of its Indian entities, being INR.

The carrying amount reflected above represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for 
such loans and receivables.

(c)

Credit risk

The Group’s credit risk arises from accounts receivable balances on sale of electricity. The Indian entities 
have entered into exclusive Power Purchase Agreements (PPA’s) with industrial buyers to export the 
entire electricity generated. The Group is therefore committed to sell power to these customers and 
regards any potential risk of default as being a commercial one. The Group is paid monthly by the buyers 
for the electricity it supplies.

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual  obligations  resulting  in 
financial loss to the Company. For cash and cash equivalents the Company only transacts with entities 
that are rated the equivalent to investment grade and above. Other financial assets consist of amounts 
receivable from related parties.  The company’s exposure to significant concentration of credit risk on 
receivables from related parties is detailed in note 3.24.

The group has not entered into any derivative financial instruments during the year and hence there is 
no credit risk exposure on derivatives 
The table below shows the credit limit set by the group for and outstanding deposits there against in 
respect of 2 major bank counterparties at the balance sheet date using the Standard and Poor’s credit 
rating symbols.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents and
maintaining adequate credit facilities. In respect of its existing operations the Group funds itself
primarily through bank borrowings secured against each power plant. The Group’s objective in relation
to its existing operating business is to maintain sufficient funding to allow the plants to operate at an
optimal level and in particular purchase the necessary raw materials required.
In respect of each plant under development, the Group prepares a model to evaluate the necessary

45

 
 
1619_TEXT:Layout 1 7/9/10 10:26 Page 46

funding required. The Group’s strategy is to primarily fund such acquisitions by assuming debt in the 
development companies secured on the power plant to be built. In  relation to the  payment towards 
equity component of companies to be developed, the Group ordinarily seeks to fund this by the injection 
of external funds by debt or equity.

The Group has identified a large range of development opportunities which it is continually evaluating 
and which are subject to constant change. In respect of its overall business the Group therefore does 
not, at the current time, maintain any overall liquidity forecasts. The table below analyses the Group’s 
financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet 
to the contractual maturity date. 

(e)

Capital risk management

The Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going 
concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for stakeholders.  The  Group  also 
proposes to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. Hence, the Group may 
adjust any dividend payments, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. Total capital is the 
equity as shown in the consolidated balance sheet. Currently, the Group primarily monitors its capital 
structure in terms of evaluating the funding of potential developments. It plans to strike  a  balance 
between risks and returns. Management is continuously evolving strategies to optimize the returns and 
reduce the risks. It includes plans to optimize the financial leverage of the Group.

The Group’s debt of £ 19,032,713 (net of Cash & Cash Equivalents of £ 14,168,453 and restricted cash of 
£ 1,481,894) represents a gearing of 23.56% on a net debt basis.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. 
The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate 
borrowings.

The Company’s exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the 
liquidity risk management section of this note.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-
derivative instruments at the balance sheet date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared 
assuming the amount of liability outstanding at balance  sheet  date  was  outstanding  for  the  whole 
year. A 0.5 per cent increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key
management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change
in interest rates.
