These companies’ stock prices are greater than their issue prices and face value. The strongest
reasons are the earning potential of the companies. Most of the companies are operating in their
full capacity and they are consistent in their operating performance and market dominance.
Qualitative factors: Rationales for fixing indicative price of KPCL
A)
B)
CRISL has assigned “AA” (pronounced as double A ) rating in the Long Term and “ST-1” rating in the
Short Term to Khulna Power Company Ltd. based on financials and other relevant quantitative and
qualitative information. The above ratings have been done on the basis of its good fundamentals such
as sound equity based capital structure, sound debt repayment background, high quality plant,
satisfactory profitability, government guarantee against power purchase, insignificant market risk on
demand, government supportive policies for power sector etc. Entities rated in this category are
adjudged to be of high quality, offer higher safety and have high credit quality. This level of rating
indicates a corporate entity with sound credit profile and without significant problems. Risk factors
are modest and may vary slightly from time to time because of economic conditions. The short term
rating indicates highest certainly of timely payment. Short-term liquidity including internal fund
generation is very strong and access to alternative sources of fund is outstanding. Safety is almost risk
free like Government short-term obligations.
Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB), off-taker of KPCL, acknowledges KPCL as the best
available and the most reliable power plant for its excellent track record in operation. It has been
successfully supplying reliable power to the national grid since 1998 without any interruption for a
single day. KPCL plant has also been recognized by the third party inspectors, surveyors and
specialists as the best maintained fuel oil operated power plant. The plant availability has always
been near to 100%.
3
C)
KPCL never compromises with the quality of operation, maintenance, safety of plant and personnel
and in that consideration, engaged Wartsila, Finland, a world renowned equipment manufacture (also
the manufacturer of KPCL plant), for the operation and maintenance of KPCL plant. KPCL plant
operation has been certified by Bureau Veritas (BV) on :
•
Quality Management System (QMS) with ISO 9001 – 2008
•
Environmental Management System (EMS) with ISO 14001 – 2007
•
Occupational Health and Safety Administration System (OHSAS) 18001 – 2007
D) KPCL plant engines are having the dual fired capability i.e it can be converted into natural gas
whenever gas will be available at the south-eastern region. Conversion into natural gas will enable
the company to earn more revenue as compared to running on furnace oil, since the gas tariff
structure as fixed by BPDB is more attractive than furnace oil based tariff structure.
E) The strategic location of the KPCL plant at the south-eastern region is an added advantage for KPCL.
There are only few power plants in that region and as such KPCL is required to meet major portion of
the demand of that region. Therefore, the utilization of the entire capacity of KPCL plant through out
the year is almost certain.
F) The useful life of KPCL plant is 30 years. Therefore, no further capital investment will be required for
the existing plant to carry out another extended term.
G) BPDB is the only buyer of KPCL and thus the revenues are 100% realizable. Unlike DESCO or DESA,
KPCL has no system loss or no bad or doubtful debt.
H) In the context of Bangladesh economy, the demand for power or the demand of power sector is
thriving and insatiable. At present, the demand and supply gap is 1,700 MW. In consideration of
current generation capacity, also together with the future planning for generation of additional
capacity, Bangladesh will not be able to meet the increasing demand for power. As a result, the
power sector will continue to rule as top most demanding and dominating sector in the economy and
no other sectors enjoys such a high demand profile. Therefore, KPCL’s revenue earnings and its
further growth and future potential is highly certain beyond any doubt.
I) The proposed expansion of KPCL plant will enhance the KPCL earnings almost three times higher than
the existing one. There will be no further fixed operating expenditure except the variables for the
additional unit as the same will be run by the same management and production team. No further
land will be required and the engines are likely to be more efficient for improved technology over the
years.
J) KPCL’s long eleven years of experience in running liquid fuel power plant and proven record of
operation will help KPCL management to run the expansion unit more efficiently and diligently and to
achieve more optimization and economy of operation which will contribute to the enhancement of
KPCL’s earning.
Extension for another term of the project and Expansion of the capacity for additional 100 MW
(+/- 10 MW):
Rationale:
i) The Article 2.3 of PPA has a clear provision that the project is renewable for a further period, subject to
agreement in writing by the parties at the latest twelve months prior to the expiry.
ii) The KPCL plant is most reliable and efficient plant in the BPDB grid, available for 365 days of the year and
with its 19 generating units, it is the most flexible and capable to meet BPDB’s ever varying load demand.
iii)
For dwindling natural gas production in the country, the natural gas based power plants are in deep
crisis. Natural gas is being used in 85% of total generation and due to short supply, a few of the
existing plants running on gas may face shut down in the near future. Taking the above into
consideration, the Govt. has already adopted a policy to use liquid fuel for generation of electricity.
Accordingly, the future power plants will be built based on liquid fuel operation. Therefore, the
extension of the term of KPCL plant is the imperative for the BPDB to meet the shortage of power.
iv)
KPCL plants runs on Furnace Oil, the least cost liquid fuel, shall be most viable commercially.
v)
The existing shortage in generation capacity of the country shall continue to exist much beyond the
year 2013, when the tenure of the current PPA expires. Even in the year 2013 many of the BPDB old
plants shall retire and many will face shut down or capacity reduction owing to gas shortage
Therefore, the extension of current PPA with BPDB shall take place as a natural consequence.
Currently maximum generation capacity of all public and private power plants together is about 4,300 MW but
country’s peak demand is about 6,000 MW. There is a demand supply gap of 1,700 MW and it will be widen
further as a result of the general increase of demand. Considering of the increasing demand of power and the
4
govt.’s future planning for addition of new generation, yet the demand supply gap will be increasing like 2,648
MW in 2011, 3,132 MW in 2012, 3,259 MW in 2013, 3,799 MW in 2014 and 4,362 MW in 2015. Most interestingly,
in 1998 when KPCL plant was connected to the national grid, the demand supply gap was about 1,000 MW and
over the last 11 years it has gone up to 1,700 MW. In order to minimize the shortage of power, initiatives are
being taken by the Govt. to welcome private sectors to set up more power plants.
KPCL is currently in negotiation with BPDB for its expansion for additional capacity of 100 MW (+/-10 MW). In
view of the above mentioned existing shortage, further worsening in future due to gradual increase of demand
of the power and the short supply of natural gas, the Govt. has decided to offer the expansion of the capacity
of existing power plants which are running on liquid fuel. KPCL plant is among the two plants that are running
on liquid fuel and thus proposed for expansion which is in process.
Therefore, for the reasons stated above the Govt. of Bangladesh is strongly considering the expansion of KPCL
plant capacity by another 100 MW (+/- 10 MW).
Energy sector companies are strong player with huge operating profit and its shareholders have taken
the benefit of direct listing from the gain of offloading of shares. Superior asset management and
earning potential, strong fundamental position, greater liquidity and technological soundness make
these companies better player in the stock market. KPCL is a peer company of these companies
which also has a sound financial background and operational efficiency. So, it is optimistic to
expect that KPCL will perform better than its Competitors and Peer companies. Considering the
average value and the fact that the company is renowned “Electricity generating company” having
well known client’s base and brand image, so the indicative price is just and fair.
4. The company has opened an Escrow account with BRAC Bank Limited “Khulna Power EII Escrow
Account” No. 1501100976943002 for collecting bid money from the eligible institutional bidders
under Book Building Method.

B. RISK FACTORS AND MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION ABOUT RISK:
As with all investments, investors should be aware that there are some risks associated with an
investment in the Company. The investors should carefully consider the following risks in addition
to the information contained in the prospectus for evaluating the offer and taking decision whether
to invest in shares of the company.
a) Interest Rate Risk:
Interest/financial charge are paid against any kind of borrowed fund/ preference shares. Instability
in money market and increased requirement for fund may put pressure on interest rate structure.
Rising of interest rate increases the cost of borrowed fund and consequently it may impact on the
profitability.
Management Perception: Currently, KPCL has working capital debt obligation from several banks
and preference shares which are comprised with fixed financial charges. But the Company has solid
revenue source and is highly profitable. The rate for the financial charges are fixed so, KPCL
doesn’t have such risk.
b) Exchange Rate Risk:
KPCL imports mostly fuel against payment of foreign currency. Unfavorable volatility or currency
fluctuation may affect the profitability of the company.
Management Perception: KPCL is fully aware of the risk related to currency fluctuation but
practically doesn’t possess any foreign exchange risk as 99% of the Other Monthly Tariff (OMT)is
convertible and fuel is being imported through L/C and the exchange rate Sonali Bank Ltd. is
acceptable to BPDB under pass through payment process. Moreover, KPCL executes favorable and
competitive foreign exchange rate from its bankers against its L/C payments.
c) Industry Risk:
The supply of electricity and alternative energy is not adequate than the demand of it. For that
reason organizations engaged in generating electricity can’t provide all required amount of
electricity. Power companies mainly supply electricity to national power distributors to supply
electricity.
Management Perception: KPCL supplies electricity to BPDB in the south-western region of
Bangladesh and it’s a dedicated power plant with a guaranteed payment from BPDB and GoB under
the PPA. So, possibilities of entering new power companies wouldn’t create any industry risk for
the company.
d) Market and technology related Risk:
Technology is related to generation, transmission, distribution, quantity measuring and maintaining
of required electricity generation.
Management Perception: The Company is operated by the plant manufacturer, Wärtsilä, the
leading power plant manufacturer and plant operator in the world. Wärtsilä is technologically
advanced enough to keep KPCL plant out of such risk.
e) Potential or existing Government regulation:
The business activities of KPCL is fully controlled by policies, rules and regulation framed by
government, that is policies related to electricity price fixation, demand & supply and distribution
is fully under the control of Government. So, government policies in this regard may impact
business operation of KPCL.
6
Management Perception: The Power Purchase Agreement with BPDB safeguards KPCL from any
changes in government regulation. The PPA agreement is valid for 15 years till 2013 and can be
extended upon the consent of both parties. Moreover, in case of PPA termination, KPCL will get
compensation under the agreement from BPDB or GoB. Additionally, the huge shortage of power in
the country minimizes the chances of terminating the PPA agreement that mitigates related risks.
f)
Potential changes in the global or national policies, natural calamities etc:
The performance of the company may be affected due to unavoidable circumstances in Bangladesh,
as such political turmoil, war, terrorism, political unrest in the country may adversely affect the
economy in general. Moreover, natural disasters like Cyclone, Tide, and Earthquake may hamper
normal performance of power generation.
Management Perception: The risk due to changes in global or national policies is beyond control
for any company. Yet the company is well prepared for adoption of policies and preventive
measures as and when required to reduce the risk. The routine & proper maintenance of the
distribution network undertaken by BPDB reduces major disruption due to natural calamities. But
severe natural calamities, which sometimes are unpredictable and unforeseen, have the potential
to disrupt normal operations of KPCL. But with prudent rehabilitation schemes and the very
effective and quick repair and maintenance lessened the damages caused by such disasters.
Political unrest leading to strikes, hortals etc. certainly plays negative impact in any business. But
electricity service being considered a daily necessity & in consideration of its use by all
irrespective of their political thoughts is always kept out of obstructions.
Furthermore, all such above risks are covered under the insurance agreement with CODAN Marine
(a subsidiary of RSA Group) to compensate the damages due to such uncertainties in extreme
cases. Thus, the risk due to natural calamities & political unrest is minimized.
g) Operational Risk:
ª Risk associated with limited tenure of the present Power Purchase Agreement:
The tenure of the present PPA between the Company and BPDB is limited to 15 (fifteen) years from
the date of commercial operation i.e. till 13th October, 2013.
Management Perception: On the backdrop of development need for the economy, power
generation is one of the priority sectors of the government. With the existing deficit in power
generation capacity, the government is expected to continue with the same policy level support
for the sector. Dispute with any one operator may lead to adverse repercussions throughout the
industry. As such, no major dispute with the government is envisaged. There is a provision in the
PPA for enhancement of the project life. BPDB and KPCL have been considering to expand the
capacity of the Berge Mounted Power Plant utilizing the area of its leasehold property, KPCL wants
to install additional 7 generation units with the capacity of 15 MW each to generate total 100 MW.
The strategy is to generate and produce more electricity by using fewer big engines with higher fuel
efficiency.
ª Risk associated with single party exposure:
The BPDB is the single buyer who purchases total electricity generated by the Company. The
Company’s ability to service its both existing and future financial obligations rest on the BPDB’s
ability to meet the tariff payments under the PPA.
Management Perception: KPCL is out of the single party risk exposure as it is guaranteed by BPDB
for the payment in case the plant runs lower than 50%. Moreover, L/C issued by BPDB for two
months’ minimum guaranteed payment. Therefore, the Implementation Agreement signed by the
Government through Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources is considered to be
Government guarantee to protect the Company from single party risk exposure.
7
ª Risk associated with tariff of electricity:
The BPDB is the single buyer who purchases total electricity generated by the Company. In these
circumstances usually it is the buyer who may determine the tariff value of the electricity
generated by the Company.
Management Perception: In this case no risk is associated as BPDB and the Company have predetermined and contracted the terms and condition regarding the tariff of electricity, expressed
under two slabs – Other Monthly Tariff (OMT) and Fuel Tariff (FT) where OMT is based on delivered
MWh and FT is pass through. Tariff for each year is adjusted and indexed from time to time in
accordance with the PPA and the said Reference Tariff is used to calculate the Tariff in Effect for
any Billing Month during the Term of the Agreement.
ª Risk associated with supply of raw materials:
The main raw material for generating electricity is Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). Any interruption of
supplies of the fuel to the power plants will hamper the generation of electricity, the only product
of the Company.
Management Perception: Kuo Oil Pte Ltd. Singapore has been supplying Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) to the
Company through United Summit Coastal Oil Limited and the risk of price fluctuation in the global
oil market is automatically done by the very FT structure which is based on fuel cost as a pass
through item. Moreover, KPCL can source HFO from other sources if Kuo Oil is unable to supply.
ª Risk associated with supply of spare parts:
The power plants are dependent on timely supply of spare parts for smooth operation purpose. Any
disruption in supply flow of spares parts will put an adverse impact on power generation.
Management Perception: Under the Operations & Maintenance Contract with Wartsila, the
Company has signed a Spare Parts Support Agreement (SPSA). Wärtsilä also maintains sufficient
spares parts inventory for smooth operation of KPCL plants. In addition, KPCL maintains safety
spare parts stock of US$ 2 million.
ª Risk associated with payment:
There is an impending risk in the case of delayed payment from BPDB. In case of any dispute with
BPDB or failure to comply with certain rules and regulations, BPDB may stop making payments to
KPCL resulting into non-payment to its lenders.
Management Perception: KPCL is getting the payment regularly from BPDB. Sometimes, there are
delays in payment but that is mainly due to administrative reasons. Till date, no payment has been
defaulted. As per the PPA with BPDB, there is a penalty clause and BPDB needs to ensure minimum
guaranteed payment supported by Letter of Credit. .
Additionally, GoB through the Implementation Agreement provides sovereign guarantee with
regard to payments, hence possibly mitigating risk of any non-payments.
ª Risk associated with systems failure and sabotage:
System failure may take place resulting into damages for KPCL. Moreover, internal conflict among
the workers and engineers may also disrupt operation.
Management Perception: There is an agreement with the O & M Contractor and equipment
supplier to provide maintenance and equipment support. Additionally, any equipment and
mechanical support will be provided for in case the plant needs to be converted from a fuel based
to a gas based plant. In addition, the company has prudent insurance coverage with CODAN Marine
which covers all risks package including Machinery Breakdown, Business Interruption, Third Party
Liability, Sabotage and Terrorism.
8
h) Force Majeure:
Force Majeure events are circumstances in which a delay in the performance of any obligation
under the PPA is beyond the reasonable control, and occurs without the faults or negligence, of the
parties concerned.
Management Perception: If the Company is affected by a Force Majeure event after commencement of
commercial operation, the BPDB will only pay capacity components and energy components to the Company,
to the extent that the unit is available. However, financial loss due to unavailability of the plant after a
Force Majeure event will be mitigated by the Company’s insurance policy. If BPDB is affected by a Force
Majeure event after commercial operation, it will pay the Company its debt servicing costs less insurance
proceeds and / or any available capacity component and energy component received by the company during
the Force Majeure period. In case of Political Force Majeure event or change in law, the BPDB will pay the
Company, to the extent that the unit is available and the Government of Bangladesh will pay required
amount to cover the capacity component up to 50%.
i)
Risk associated with environmental pollution:
KPCL plant operation may cause air and water pollution which may affect the ecological balance
and living condition and health of the people around the plant.
Management Perception: The Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contractor of KPCL plant,
Wärtsilä Bangladesh Ltd, Khulna Plant (WBD-KP) is responsible for environmental management of
the project.
Plant operation is certified by Bureau Veritas (BV) on:
• Quality Management System (QMS) with ISO 9001 - 2008
• Environmental Management System (EMS) with ISO 14001-2007
• Occupational Health and Safety Administration System (OHSAS) 18001 - 2007
The EMS Manual covers all the elements that are required to be monitored for compliance of ISO 14001 and
local Department of Environmental Guidelines. Under the EMS, ambient air quality by passive sampling
method continuously, basin water quality and sanitary discharge tested on monthly basis and ambient noise
level is measured on monthly basis, and is monitored for compliance. Quarterly reports, compiling all the test
and measurement results are submitted to Department of Environment (DOE). Exhaust gas emission is
monitored by stack testing annually, and elaborate reports are submitted to DOE every year. For each and
every fuel oil delivery and handling, containment boom is used to minimize the risk of accidental spillage and
pollution. At regular intervals, independent auditors or Bureau Veritas carry out surveillance audit to assess
the compliance with the EMS of ISO 14001-2007 but so far no non-conformity noted. Similarly, DOE officials
inspect regularly and monitor environmental performance of the plant and till date no non-conformity
reported. Overall, plant operation does not pose any hazard to the environment of the plant area and its
surroundings.
j)
Non-Operating history
There is no history of non-operation in the case of KPCL.
Management Perception: To overcome these uncertainties, the Company has its own extra Engine
and fuel backup, efficient management and continuous monitoring systems, which reduce the nonoperating risk.
k) Risk of “Operation and Maintenance Agreement” by “Wartsila”
There is a risk of on non-continuation of “Operation and Maintenance Agreement” (“O&M Agreement)
by “Wartsila”
Management Perception: In case of discontinuation of the O&M agreement with Wartsila, KPCL shall
take over the O&M under own management since Summit and United group have been operating &
maintaining their own power plants over 300 MW capacity by themselves. Moreover, the existing
personnel of the Wartsila can be retained too by KPCL if required.

C. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS:
Information about the Company

Background
In 1997 the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) was faced with the challenge to ease a
critically short power supply in the South Western Zone of Bangladesh. The electrical demand had
been consistently higher than available capacity, and generation costs in the area had been very
high due to the low efficiency of existing equipment and the heavy use of expensive, lowavailability fuel. In October 1997, BPDB signed a Power Purchase Agreement with Khulna Power
Company Ltd. for a 110 MW floating base load power plant at Khulna, to help ease the electricity
shortage.

Description
Khulna Power Company Ltd. is a public limited company which was incorporated as a private
limited company in Bangladesh on October 15, 1997. Its paid up capital is BDT 2085.93 million (US$
44.10 million) It is the first independent 110MW barge-mounted power plant that commenced
operation in October 1998 under a 15 year PPA from the government (expiry 2013). When
established, KPCL shareholders were Coastal Power Company (later Coastal was merged with El
Paso Corporation, USA) through its direct wholly-owned subsidiary El Paso Khulna Power ApS,
Summit Industrial & Mercantile Corporation (Pvt.) Ltd. (Bangladesh), United Enterprises & Co Ltd.
(Bangladesh) and Wärtsilä Development and Financial Services (Asia) Ltd. Now only local
shareholders hold 100% ownership of the company. KPCL project was initially financed by the IFC
and the sponsors’ equity with a debt-to-equity ratio of 54:46. The total initial project cost was USD
96.07 million
The principal activity of KPCL is to own and operate barge mounted power plants in Khulna and
supply electricity to the national grid of Bangladesh. The plant came into operation in October
1998. Nine engines generators are mounted on one barge and ten on the other. The barges, shipped
as deck cargo on a submersible dry tow ship, are moored in a closed basin. Each barge is
approximately 91 meters long and 24 meters wide. These two barge-mounted plants were
connected to the national grid. The plant consumes about 600 MT of Heavy Fuel Oil daily to
generate 110 MW power by the 19 generators on the two barges located in Khalishpur, Khulna.
The project was the first IPP implemented under the then new Government of Bangladesh
guidelines for private power projects. As Bangladesh has enjoyed steady growth in recent years, the
infrastructure to supply electricity to the economy has not kept pace with this growth. Reliability
of electricity supply, which has been a growing problem over the years, has now reached crisis
proportions. Peak demand is about 5500-6000 MW, whereas available generation is about 4200-4500
MW. The demand supply imbalance has now become a major bottleneck to economic growth. The
Khulna power project is a fast-track response to the power shortage.
KPCL plant was designed to alleviate the severe power shortages in the Khulna and adjacent areas,
identified as industrial growth Centres by the Government of Bangladesh, while improving the
overall reliability of the country's power supply. The facility displaced the generating capacity of
the older, less efficient, and high-cost plants in the region. The plant conformed to all applicable
environmental standards.
The plant has already changed the economy of the adjacent region directly and positively. It has
provided employment to over 110 people from the surrounding areas and many of the jobs are
technical and managerial in nature. Significant numbers of jobs have been created at the fuel
terminal, barges, restaurants, transportation services, and other ancillary businesses created to
serve the needs of the plant. New industrial and commercial establishments have been opened to
take advantage of the stable and reliable power, and existing establishments do not require backup generators. In addition, the plant has contributed significant funds toward social causes in the
region.
10
The plant is managed by the O&M operator – Wärtsilä, a globally recognized power plant
manufacturer and operator. A team of skilled technical people are engaged in the operations of the
plant. The operational process has been developed by an expert team. For any technical assistance,
the equipment suppliers extend their support, this is backed by other consultants support as and
when needed. Management team is professional and has a successful track record and possesses
requisite expertise to run the operations.
KPCL financials is audited by Rahman Rahman Huq, a member of KPMG. The company has shown
stable performance with steady sales as in any typical utility companies. The company has received
power a tariff of BDT 8.06/kWh during the January – December 2009 period, whereas it received a
tariff of BDT 10.51/kWh during the January – December 2008 period. The differences between the
period was due to tariff slabs variation of cost of fuel and foreign currency rate.
This is an environmental review category B project. Environmental and social issues associated with
the project include: site selection and land use, site contamination from past activities, air
emissions and noise from construction and plant operation, liquid effluents, liquid and solid waste
disposal, oil transportation safety and spill potential, social impacts, fire prevention and emergency
response, employee health and safety programs, and impact management and monitoring. KPCL has
prepared an environmental assessment for the project to address these issues and demonstrate that
the proposed project will comply with applicable governmental and World Bank requirements. The
proposed site for the project was identified by BPDB in their RFP for the project. The project is
located on an uninhabited, vacant property owned by PADMA, the state oil company. No
resettlement of residents or economic displacement was required.

Expansion plan
During establishment of the company, the project concept envisaged expansion. KPCL is now
discussing the next expansion plan of the company with BPDB which the management wants to
finalize within one year.
The experience gathered by the management during the implementation of initial 110 MW project
will be applied for formulating new strategy in tariff determination and operation of the future
projects. Accordingly management took the strategy of negotiating with BPDB for the revised Power
Purchase Agreement (PPA) and other project documents for easy operation, maintenance and better
return of the expansion project. Accordingly the BPDB and KPCL have been considering the
agreements to expand the capacity of its Berge Mounted Power Plant to land based power plant.
With the area of its leasehold property, KPCL wants to install additional 110 MW capacities with
power generating engines. The strategy is to generate and produce more electricity by using fewer
engines. The expansion plan will be for 22 years effective from Commercial Operation Date.

(1) Principal Product or Service of the Company:
KPCL is engaged in business of generation of electricity and sells the same in bulk to BPDB through
its national transmission grid and BPDB distributes the energy in the south-western region of
Bangladesh.
(2) The relative contribution to sales and income of each product or service that accounts for
more than 10% of the company’s total revenues:
Electricity is the only product of KPCL. So, contribution of more than 10% by any other product to
the total revenue of the company doesn’t arise.
(3) Name of associates, the subsidiary/related holding company and their core areas of
business:
Khulna Power Company Ltd. (KPCL) has no associates, the subsidiary/related holding company
however there are common directorship in the following related companies:
Sponsors
KPCL is now fully owned by the local entrepreneur group, namely – Summit Industrial and
Mercantile Corporation (Pvt.) Ltd. and United Enterprises & Co. Ltd. However, the Khulna Power
Project was originally developed by a consortium led by Wärtsilä Corporation (“Wärtsilä”) with
which BPDB signed a Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”). Wärtsilä is a leading manufacturer of
medium speed diesel engines and had successfully developed similar power projects at several
locations worldwide.
Coastal Power Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Coastal Corporation (“Coastal”), joined
the consortium in August 1998. Thereafter, Coastal and El Paso Energy Corporation merged in
January 2001 to form El Paso Corporation (“El Paso”). El Paso is one of the world’s largest and
most diversified natural gas exploration and pipeline companies with an enterprise value in excess
of $50 billion. As the major equity holder in KPCL with 73.9% interest, El Paso was responsible for
the management of the Plant up to April, 2008.
The local Shareholders are Summit Industrial and Mercantile Corporation (Pvt.) Ltd. (“Summit”) and
United Enterprises & Co. Ltd. (“United”). Summit is an investment group with significant holdings in
liquid fuel storage terminals. It is also an investor in six Rural Electrification Board (“BPDB”) small
power projects, gas pipeline construction on a build-transfer basis, liquid fuel shipping, and real
estate construction. United has ownership in Bangladesh’s largest private liquid product bulk
storage terminal, real estates, and one of the largest Hospitals and a private University. It has
implemented several BPDB small power projects, and has worked very closely with Summit. Summit
and United have contributed a combined 20% of the Project’s equity.
The sponsors have invested total equity capital of US$ 44 million, with 73.9% ownership by El Paso
Energy; 10% by Summit Industrial and Mercantile Corporation (Pvt.) Ltd.; 10% by United Enterprises
& Co. Ltd.; and 6.1% by Wärtsilä.
But changes were made in the Ownership Structure as El Paso Corporation, as part of its global
repositioning strategy, offered its stake of 73.9% in KPCL for sale. Reportedly CDC Globeleq has
principally agreed to purchase El Paso's interests in Asia on a portfolio basis (Bangladesh, Indonesia,
Pakistan, Philippines). However, for sale of shares in the company per terms of the shareholders'
agreement allows existing shareholders first right of refusal and therefore local shareholders –
Summit Industrial & Mercantile Corporation (Pvt.) Ltd. and United Enterprises & Co. Ltd. have
expressed interest to purchase El Paso's 73.9% stake in KPCL, at the offered price of CDC Globeleq.
Consequently, Summit and United jointly acquired El Paso shareholding and later Wärtsilä’s share
was also acquired by Summit and United.

past 10 years resulting in increased efficiency and economies of scale.
Brief history of the growth and development of SIMCL
•
SIMCL was incorporated as a private limited company in Bangladesh on 7th
December 1985.
•
In 1988, the company in addition to the import business started the export of
Molasses from Bangladesh.
•
The year 1989 marked SIMCL's first foray into infrastructure development with the
establishment of Summit United Tanks Terminal (SUTT), which established SIMCL
as the first owner in Bangladesh of a liquid storage tank terminal.
•
In 1991 SIMCL bought Van Omaren Tanks Terminal becoming the largest private
terminal owner and operator in Bangladesh. Subsequently the two terminals were
sold off.
•
In 1992, the SIMCL started to export Urea fertilizer becoming the largest fertilizer
exporter in Bangladesh. That same year SIMCL purchased BTT, the oldest liquid
Tanks Terminal depot in Chittagong Port area, renaming it to SUTTL. After the
purchase the storage capacity of SUTT expanded from 17200 MT to 65100 MT.
SUTT further increased after the acquisition of VOTTL, a private sector tank
terminal, in Chittagong port.
•
In 1997 the company took another leap in infrastructure development by
establishing the first private sector electricity generation plant of 114 MW, which
operated on furnace oil. Khulna Power Company (KPCL) continues to flourish till
date and is planning on expanding and also going public.
15
•
The year 1999 marked one of the highest rates of growth in the company’s history
through the formation of various companies in partnership with other major
companies and conglomerates both domestic and international. In 1999 SIMCL
partnered the United Group and Wartsila USA to form KPCL, the country’s first
110 MW Barge Mounted power Generation plant. That year also led to the
formation of USPCL, an LPG plant in Mongla, in association with the United
Group. Finally, the year was rounded to a close, in terms of energy development
through the formation of USCOL, an energy oil company, in conjunction with EL
Paso USA and the United Group. The year 1999 also earmarks the establishment
and development of USSL, a shipping company, created with joint partnership
between Summit and United Group. In its year of conception it bought two Ocean
going tanker vessels and became the first ISO 9002 certified shipping company in
Bangladesh. Summit continued its extraordinary growth through the formation of
Summit Pipeco Limited in partnership with the Alliance Group. Summit Pipeco
teamed up with Daquing a company based out of China to execute the EPC of 54
Km Ashuganj- Hobiganj gas pipe line construction work in Bangladesh
•
In 2000 summit power limited (SPL) was established to set up ‘distributed
power’ in Bangladesh. Presently SPL has seven power plants providing electricity
to 600,000 homes, generating 215 MWs of electricity with natural gas as its fuel.
•
In 2004, the company formed SAPL to expand its capacity and operations in the
container terminal field. SAPL is also traded and publicly listed in the Dhaka Stock

United Hospital Ltd
United Hospital Ltd was born out of a vision to provide a complete and one-stop healthcare solution
to the people of Bangladesh. Opening its doors in August 2006 and situated besides the picturesque
Gulshan Lake, this hospital is one of the largest private sector healthcare facilities in Bangladesh.
With a capacity to house over 450 patients and established across a total covered area of over
400,000 sft, the hospital has 11 state of the art operation theatres to cater to the needs of our
varied patient base.
Departments of cardiology, gynaecology, orthopaedic and paediatrics of United Hospital are staffed
by the most esteemed doctors in their respective fields. As an example, a glimpse at our cardiology
department would reveal that till date we have conducted over 2300 open heart surgeries and over
8300 angiograms and angioplasty operations. That’s over 12 heart related surgeries per day alone
since our inception. With its technology and expertise, and with the support of very friendly staff,
United Hospital strives each day to be the number one healthcare provider, not only within
Bangladesh but within the Asia-Pacific region.
Malancha Holdings Ltd
In January 2007 Malancha Holdings Ltd. was born out of the necessity for uninterrupted, quality
power supply to the industries housed within the Export Processing Zones (EPZ) of Bangladesh.
Currently operating a 35 megawatt unit in Dhaka EPZ and a 44 megawatt unit in Chittagong EPZ,
this company allows its clients to concentrate only on their core business rather than worrying
19
about their energy requirements. The total project cost of the plants stand at Tk. 3750 million and
is powered by the latest Wartsila gas engines with the ability to produce 8.73 megawatts of
electricity each. High voltage 33/11 KV substations comprising of two 16/25 MVA, 11/33 KV power
transformers along with required length of 11 KV distribution lines have been built by MHL under
each of the two project sites. Thus MHL has constructed multidisciplinary infrastructures like power
generation, high voltage transmissions and distribution and high/low pressure gas pipelines for the
project. In effect, this makes us the only true independent power generation and distribution
company in all senses of the term. It is a model that we plan to replicate across all the EPZs of the
country. On top of this unique achievement, MHL has been regularly providing its surplus energy to
the Rural Electrification Board (REB) of Bangladesh, thus lighting up thousands of homes across the
nation. We can only hope that one day our approach to power generation will make our country a
shining beacon within the Asian region.
Comilla Spinning Mills Ltd.
In a country where the textiles industry is one of the major contributors to the GDP and indeed one
of the largest earners of foreign exchange, Comilla Spinning Mills Ltd. has managed to make its
mark as a maker of high quality cotton, polyester and mixed yarns. Established in 1996, the factory
is nestled in the heart of Burichong, Comilla, spread over 13 acres of land, with 1100 full-time
dedicated workers managing and operating the plant around the clock. With 18,000 spindles
initially, it was projected to go under a progressive expansion program and methodical
development through scientific research, design and creative plan of operation. As it stands now,
the plant has almost 50,000 functioning spindles being complimented by other high-end European
machineries producing roughly 14 tons of yarn a day. A fun fact – that is almost enough high quality
yarn to cover over a 1000 kilometres a day. However, we have no plans of stopping now. In the near
future, we hope to increase this capacity to almost 70,000 spindles.
United International University
Proper education solidifies the backbone of a nation – the youth who are destined to lead the
country into the future. In 2003, United Group ventured into this noble professional sector by
uniting together some of the finest academic minds in the nation under the banner of United
International University.
With an excellent library, well equipped laboratories, proper classrooms and student recreational
facilities, it is an ideal place to excel in learning. It was surprising that even after a decade of
operations; similar educational institutions were yet to achieve the same. UIU believes that only by
providing the right environment could the desired results it achieved. Having such a campus was
thus an absolute necessity.
Even now the faculty is engaged in designing new disciplines that are relevant for the Bangladesh
economic context. They would of course include Accounting, Textile Engineering, Pharmacology
and Nursing departments, to name a few. With plans of opening a new major campus to evergrowing student base and faculty, steadily but surely it plans on becoming the largest private
university in the country within the next few years.
Neptune Land Development Ltd.
Neptune Land Development Ltd. began its commercial operation as a premium real estate company
in 2003 with United City being its flagship project. Imagine a scenic landscape where all the beauty
that nature has to provide resides in perfect harmony with the excellence of Man’s creativity in the
field of architecture. Imagine wide open fields echoing with children’s laughter, a lake beside
which to sit and while an evening away, and the absolute tranquility of suburbia. It will be the most
beautiful setting within one of the largest metropolitan cities in the world. Located a stone’s throw
distance away from the US Embassy in Baridhara, it can simply be described as a piece of heaven in
Dhaka, where families can start their lives anew, secure in their knowledge that they reside in one
of the finest of localities in the capital.
With over 300 acres currently under development in United City and 650 plots already handed over
to a most excellent clientele, the main goal of NLDL is to become the premier and most trusted
20
developer of real estate projects in the nation. To back up the claim, it only sells land that is
absolutely undisputed and owned by the company. This project has been developed according to
full compliance with RAJUK guidelines, thus becoming one of the only such real estate ventures to
be fully approved by this government body.
United Property Solutions Ltd.
Over the years United Group has profitably ventured into various segments of the real estate
industry. It is currently involved in the construction and development of residential plots and
houses as well as commercial properties, which include some of the best known buildings of the
city today. Notable examples would includes, the United Hospital, United House and the United
International University buildings. While these projects have been completed under several
different company banners, the Group has decided to go by its namesake and bring all these
different projects under one roof. Thus, United Property Solutions Ltd. was born.
Providing total real-estate involvement from designing to construction and finally to management,
this company is dedicated to be a comprehensive one-stop solution for people interested to invest
in us, thus further simplifying things for them.
Hafez Zamirudding Fisheries Ltd.
In early 2009, United Group literally began treading new waters with Hafez Zamiruddin Fisheries
Limited and their fleet of fishing trawlers. With ample capacity upwards of 140 tons, these vessels
have been assembled locally in their entirety, not only saving valuable foreign currency for the
country but boosting the blossoming ship building industry.
The maiden voyage of the ships saw them venturing into the ever grand Bay of Bengal, known for
her abundant wealth of marine life. With nets and gears designed for white fishing, as opposed to
shrimp fishing, they can remain out at sea for a month at a time returning only with their holds
filled to the brim with some of the best fish that the Bay has to offer. And why not – we plan to
take this company to export markets where such products are much sought after and buyers are
quite often willing to pay a premium for quality.
United Makkah Madina Travel & Assistance Co. Ltd.
United Makkah Madina Travel & Assistance Co. Ltd. embarked upon its mission to be a facilitator

such trips for nearly a decade now. By being fair and honest in its dealings and a strong adherence
to the Quran and Sunnah it have, by the Grace of the Almighty, become a market leader in this
profession. A testament of this lies in the fact that almost all of its dedicated clients have chosen
on referrals they get from pilgrims who have honored the company in the past by choosing to travel
with the company.
United Polymers Ltd.
Plastic is one of the core materials needed for many companies - from soda manufacturers to
pharmaceutical companies but there was a great lacking in quality plastic botling and other plastic
materials Thus United Polymers Ltd. was born as a value-based manufacturing unit focused on
innovating, manufacturing, and marketing of polyethylene (PET) products, as well as
comprehensive liquefied material handling systems for the consumer and industrial bottles. As a
pioneer in this sector, we introduced this product to many businesses since our inception, who just

United Land Port Teknaf Ltd.
United Land Port Teknaf Ltd is situated on 27 acres of land on the banks of the Naaf River at the
southernmost point of Bangladesh; this is a port of transit for goods between our country and
Myanmar. Winning a tender in 2006 from Bangladesh Land Port Authority has enabled to control
operations and management of the port while also signing Concession Agreement and Land Lease
Agreement with the same. Since then it has undergone both infrastructural and civil development
of the area, including earth filling, boundary wall construction, making pontoons, warehouses,
approach roads, a passenger jetty, cargo jetty and a rest house among other things. Through
significant ongoing investments, ULPTL plans to become a fully comprehensive port unit, providing
a one-stop solution for exporters, importers and the government alike.

(4) Distribution procedure of products or services:
KPCL purchases Heavy Fuel Oil from Kuo Oil Pte Ltd. Singapore and generates electricity as its sole
product and then sells to BPDB in bulk for electricity transmission through the national grid to
south-western region of Bangladesh.
(5) Competitive Condition of the Business:
As power sector is a capital-intensive industry, huge investment will be required for generation
capacity addition. Public sector is not in a position to secure this huge investment for power
generation. currently, at about 170 kWh per capita of energy consumption, Bangladesh ranks among
the lowest countries in the world in terms of electricity consumption per capita. Its distribution
networks currently serve only an estimated 43% of the total population of more than 150 million.
The severe shortage of electricity supply is due in part to BPDB’s inadequate generation capacity,
weak transmission and distribution systems, and operational difficulties at its existing power plants.
In addition to the overall demand-supply imbalance, the power sector in Bangladesh is also affected
by a regional imbalance 85% of the country’s generating capacity is located in the eastern zone,
where natural gas and associated infrastructure is available. The western zone, where the Plant is
located, has mostly smaller and less efficient power plants running on liquid fuel. The western zone
peak demand is about 1100 MW while its regional generating capacity is only about 600 MW.
According to the Power Cell, the Bangladesh Power Development Board generated 3400 MW of the
country’s 5245 MW of total commercial electricity, or about 64% of the total installed capacity.
Over the past several years although the demand of power and gas grew in geometric progression,
yet the power sector did not grow as per requirement and gas sector failed to explore its resources
and developed its reserve. Since natural gas dominates the power sector in Bangladesh, 95% of
electricity comes from conventional thermal power (primarily natural gas) and the remaining 5%
through hydroelectric power. In January 2006, Bangladesh’s first coal-fired power plant began
commercial production at the 250-MW Barapukuria facility in Parbotipur.
The installed generation capacity was about 5269 MW (as on June 2007) from a meager 88 MW in
1960. Electricity generation grew at about 7% p. a. during last fifteen (15) years compared with
average annual GDP growth rate of about 5.5%. Notwithstanding the progress made to date,
Bangladesh's per capita electricity generation of 165 kWh p.a. is still among the lowest in the
world. About 43% of the population has access to electricity, which is also low compared to many
developing countries. This implies that there is scope for significant growth in power sector. Given
the huge investment requirement for power development in the country, Bangladesh would be
looking forward to various sources of finance. The Government has already opened the power
sector for private investment and "The Private Sector Power Generation Policy" has been
formulated in 1996. The table bellow depicts power sector at a glance.

Currently, the GOB has no plans to have additional interconnection systems between the east and
west regions since it prefer to transport gas to the western region in order to build gas-fired plants
rather than transferring electricity. Natural gas availability in the western region is also likely to
spur further socio-economic developments in the region.

RATIONALE
CRISL has assigned “AA” (pronounced as double A ) rating in the Long Term and “ST-1” rating
in the Short Term to Khulna Power Company Ltd. (hereinafter referred “KPCL”) based on
financials and other relevant quantitative and qualitative information. The above ratings have
been done on the basis of its good fundamentals such as sound equity based capital
structure, sound debt repayment background, high quality plant, satisfactory profitability,
government guarantee against power purchase, insignificant market risk on demand,
government supportive policies for power sector etc. However, the ratings are constrained to
some extent by full dependency on O&M operator’s performance, low return compared to high
capital intensiveness, dependency on imported raw materials, tariff rate fixed by government
etc.
Entities rated in this category are adjudged to be of high quality, offer higher safety and have
high credit quality. This level of rating indicates a corporate entity with sound credit profile
and without significant problems. Risk factors are modest and may vary slightly from time to
time because of economic conditions. The short term rating indicates highest certainly of
timely payment. Short-term liquidity including internal fund generation is very strong and
access to alternative sources of fund is outstanding. Safety is almost risk free like
Government short-term obligations.
KPCL has been operating with comfortable financial profile including good profitability and
sustained stability in revenue. Structured Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Bangladesh
Power Development Board (BPDB) ensures payment for at least 50% deemed generation.
Moreover, pass-through nature of its fuel costs under the tariff guidelines resulting a low fuel
price risk for KPCL. Chronic power deficits in the country, growing demand for power in the
economy and KPCL’s long term power purchase agreement with government depicts low offtake risk for the producer. KPCL has consistently achieved better operational performance
over the years i.e. plant factor 89.27% in 1H of 2009, 74.05% in 2008, 74.66% in 2007 and
79.44% in 2006. In view of better operating efficiency the revenue of the company reached to
Tk. 2,993.70 million in 1H of FY2009 (6 months operation), which was Tk. 8,160.42 million in
FY2008 and Tk. 5,698.21 million in FY2007. With the favour of stable oil prices in the
international market and low financial expenses, net profit reached to Tk. 437.32 million in 1H
of FY2009 against Tk. 272.52 million in FY2008 and Tk. 309.18 million in FY2007. The sound
equity base (74% contribution in total capital employed) with low financial leverage made its
capital structure stronger.
KPCL is yet to develop core competency and is presently fully depends on O&M operator’s
performance. However, ‘Summit’ and ‘United’ (shareholders of KPCL) has good exposures to
run different power plants having more than 200 MW capacity under own management. High
fuel prices put pressure on profitability as the company can realize about 90% of the fuel cost
from BPDB.
CRISL also viewed the company with “Stable” outlook and believes that KPCL will be able to
maintain its good fundamentals in FY2009 also.

The Genesis
Khulna Power Company Ltd. (KPCL) is an Independent Power Producer (IPP) established in
1997 under the Government initiatives for private power projects. By considering that gas
burning large land based power project requires relatively long preparation and construction
period, this barge-mounted power plant was set up to alleviate the severe power crisis as a
faster track solution on short term basis. Through a public bidding process the consortium of
Wartsila NSD Power Development (Asia) Ltd., Summit Industrial & Mercantile Corporation
(Pvt.) Ltd. and United Enterprises & Co. Ltd. was awarded to establish this power plant in
Khulna. Two principal evaluation criteria of government were: early commissioning i.e. within
10 months of executing the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and the Implementation
Agreement (IA) and dual fuel capability. Liquid fuel fired with capacity of 110 Megawatts
(MW), KPCL is selling electricity to Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) under PPA
between the company and BPDB. The plant started supply of electricity to the national grid
from 13 October, 1998. Initially the company was started as private limited company and
later in FY2009 converted into public limited company. The corporate office is located at
Summit Centre, 5th Floor, 18 Karwan Bazar C/A, Dhaka-1215. The company has planned to
go public through direct listing during 2009.
2.2
Ownership Structure
At present Summit Industrial & Mercantile Corporation (Pvt.) Ltd. (Summit) and United
Enterprises & Co. Ltd. (United) equally own 99.9664% of 2,085,930 ‘Class A & B’ ordinary
shares. Rest 0.0336% i.e. 700 ordinary shares were transferred in favor of 14 individuals at
50 numbers of ‘Class-A’ shares each. Out of these shares, Summit and United each hold 3
‘Class-B’ ordinary shares, which get different treatment in respect of dividend payment
compared to ‘Class-A’ shares. However, the existing shareholders of the company on 19 July,
2009, in an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) passed and resolved that the existing
category of Ordinary ‘Class A’ and ‘Class B’ shares shall be reclassified as ordinary shares. At
the inception, El Paso Khulna Power ApS (incorporated in Denmark) were holding 73.90%,
Wartsila Development & Financial Services (Asia) Ltd. (incorporated in Cayman Island)
6.10%, Summit and United 10% each. Later in FY2008, EL Paso and in June, 2009 Wartsila
sold their holdings equally to Summit and United. El Paso determined share transfer package
through a competitive bid and Summit and United as existing shareholder got the first priority
to take the package. Other than ordinary shares, KPCL has issued 1,100,000 preference
shares of Tk. 1000 each on May 2008 to four private commercial banks. These preference
shares are cumulative and redeemable in five annual installments of 220,000 shares starting
from 14 May 2010, the second anniversary of the issue date.

PROJECT/PLANT DETAILS
4.1
Plant Location & Production Facilities
The plant is located near the city of Khulna. The riverbank project site provides easy access to
fuel shipments by river and is located next to an existing electrical substation and
transmission line. The plant consists of two barge-mounted facilities housing of a total 19
Wartsila diesel engine generators of 6.5 MW capacities. Generators are featured with low NOx
and dual fuel capability. Nine engines-generators are mounted on one barge and ten on the
other. The barges, shipped as deck cargo on a submersible dry tow ship, are moored in a
closed basin. Each barge is approximately 91 meters long and 24 meters wide. The plant’s
shore side auxiliary facilities include two Heavy Furnace Oil (HFO) storage tanks (7,500 cubic
meters each) and pumps to transfer heavy fuel oil to a buffer tank on either barge.
4.2
Main Features of PPA
Considering the BPDB as the single buyer, the Power Purchase Agreement between BPDB and
KPCL plays a very important role. The PPA inter alia includes the following important
provisions:
a) The term of the contract is for 15 years from the date of commercial operations;
b) BPDB is committed to a minimum guaranteed payment equivalent to 50% plant
factor on a monthly basis;
c) Two part monthly tariff structure: Fuel Tariff (FT); with full cost pass through and
Other Monthly Tariff (OMT), 99% of which is US$ indexed;
d) Allows KPCL to source its own fuel supply;
e) Tariff invoices payable within 45 days of the delivery of invoices;
f) Payment security back-up in the form of Letter of Credit covering two months
minimum tariff payments;
g) The minimum tariff payment obligations continue through political and Force Majeure
Events;
h) Compensation amount on termination to cover 65% of the NPV of the minimum tariff
payment for the remaining term of the PPA, plus consequent termination payment
liability to KPCL in respect of the O&M agreement and Fuel Supply Agreement, plus
taxes;
i)
KPCL is required to pay liquidated damages for lower output capacity and short
supply of energy;
j) BPDB would pay liquidity damages to KPCL in the event of failure by the GOB to meet
any of; its obligations provided under the Implementation Agreement (IA).
4.3
Tariff Structure
The PPA contains a two-part tariff: fuel tariff (“FT”) and other monthly tariff (“OMT”). The FT
reflects the pass-through nature of fuel expenses to the extent that the plant operates at the
specified heat rate. Under the tariff structure, the fuel cost is calculated in terms of volume
rather than energy content (i.e. $/liter versus $/BTU), since HFO is sold by volume or mass.
ON
Two part tariff i.e.
Fuel Tariff & Other
Monthly Tariff
OMTs were quoted for 15 years at 50%, 60%, 70%, and 80% plant factors, and together with
FT, account for the payment to the Company for electricity produced on a per Kwh basis. At
plant factors above 80%, the OMT used will be the same as that quoted for an 80% plant
factor.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The Ministry of Power, Energy, and Mineral Resources (MEMR) monitors the overall power
sector of the country through the Power Division and Power Cell. Generation and distribution
activities have been opened to foreign and private sector, although both the sectors remain
dominated by state-owned entities. Given the poor state-run electricity infrastructure, the
government issued the "Private Sector Power Generation Policy of Bangladesh" in 1996 and
began to invited proposals from Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in the private sector in
order to ease the country’s electricity supply shortage. In response, several IPPs were set up
after 1996. The Private Sector Power Generation Policy of 1996 (Amended a few clause in
September 11, 2001) offers attractive incentive packages to IPPs including exemption from
income tax for 15 years. However, the private power producers are still in hesitation due to
the tariff policy regarding gas supply and power sale etc. Recent move of the Government to
increase the tariff rate of gas supply is a major concern to the private power producers. Side
by side with the large IPP projects, the Government also adopted a policy of "Small Power
Generation Policy," which encourages development of small local generation projects of up to
10-MW in capacity in underserved areas. The country has an active rural electrification
program, which is supported by the ADB’s Power Sector Development Program (PSDP)
initiated in 2003.
Since natural gas dominates our power sector in Bangladesh, 95% of electricity comes from
conventional thermal power (primarily natural gas) and the remaining 5 percent through
hydroelectric power. In January 2006, Bangladesh’s first coal-fired power plant began
commercial production at the 250-MW Barapukuria facility in Parbotipur.
According to Power Cell, the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) generated 3400
MW of the country’s 5245 MW of total commercial electricity, or about 64% percent of the
total installed capacity. Over the last several years although the demand of power and gas
grew in geometric progression, yet the power sector did not grow as per requirement and gas
sector failed to explore its resources and developed its reserve. In the last one and half year’s
natural gas production, transmission and supply situation has deteriorated. PDB viewed that,
for gas supply shortage alone, it failed to generate about 850MW and for maintenance and
overhauling of plants another 323 MW power could not be generated.
Per capita Electricity in Bangladesh is one of the lowest in the world, at about 169.69 kilowatthours (kwh) in 2006. At present only 42.09% percent of the population has access to
electricity, primarily in the more developed eastern zone of the country. Since much of the
country is disconnected from the national electricity grid, noncommercial sources of energy
such as biomass are estimated to represent more than half of Bangladesh’s energy
consumption.

human resource size of the company is very small. The corporate management team is
headed by Mr. Hasan Mahmood Raja, the Managing Director of the company. Mr. Raja was the
leading sponsor of the United Group. He is also Chairman and Managing Director of United.
Managing Director is aided by Mr. Md. Abdur Rahim, the Project Director and Mr. Md. Aminur
Rahman FCA, Financial Controller and Company Secretary. Mr. Abdur Rahim, a marine
engineer having about 40 years experiences in steel, shipping, dockyard and power sector.
Mr. Aminur Rahman, a professional accountant having 22 year of service experience in the
field of accounts, finance and company secretarial matters in multinational companies. Total
human resource stood at 10, who are mainly for support services. The company formulated
structured ‘Employment Policy’ stating the benefits and privileges entitled by the employees.
6.3
Business Strategy
As mentioned earlier, KPCL an independent power producer operates under a 15-year PPA
with BPDB. A guarantee agreement between the company and Ministry of Energy and Mineral
Resources (MEMR) also ensures the company regarding the payment obligations of the BPDB
in the event of a breach, default or non-performance of BPDB under the PPA. Operation &
Maintenance is totally outsourced from Wartsilla, the engine supplier and previous shareholder
of the company. Fuel is independently sourced from Singapore by KPCL and cost of fuel
passed through to the BPDB.
Though the tenure of existing PPA expires on 2013, under the present electricity situation it is
highly probable that government will extend the agreement for the next tenure. After the
expiry O&M agreement in 2013, KPCL thinks to take over the O&M under own management.
The existing personnel of the operator can be retained by KPCL. Moreover, Summit and United
group have been operating different power plants having about 200 MW capacity under own
management.

RISK MANAGEMENT
7.1
Plant Protection and Risk Mitigation
Wartsila, the plant Operator has taken adequate protection measures to protect the plant. It
has established 42 fire hydrant points covering the key areas, 28 CO2 flooding fixed
installation for T1 & T3 (for control room, switchgear room and HFO separator room). There
are also about 200 hand-held fire extinguishers which include foam, powder and CO2 types.
The Khulna power plant has been identified as a Key Point Installation (KPI) by the
government of Bangladesh. Hence services of the Bangladesh Rifles, Army and private
security can be utilized. The Operator also established an Emergency Response Plan, which
address all types of emergency that may arise in the plant. KPCL is currently insured all risks
packages including machinery breakdown, increased cost of replacement payable, business
interruption, marine and non marine liabilities, sabotage and terrorism.
7.2
Operating and Maintenance Risk
KPCL has signed a 15-year O&M agreement with Wartsila, a leading supplier of flexible power
plants worldwide. The operator is responsible for the activities necessary to operate the plant
except fuel purchase. It will determine the needed spare parts and supplies and will provide
all services necessary to obtain the parts and supplies. It will also employ and be responsible
for all operating personnel. The O&M costs include a fixed fee usually of US$ 144,000 per
month prorated for partial months; however, it may extend to US$ 179,000 for any month in
certain circumstances. The operator shall invoice at variable cost of US$ 5.05 per MWh during
ON
Low Maintenance
Risk
No counter party
risk due to huge
power shortage
the months when capacity factor is below 30% or above 60% and US$ 4.6 per MWh when
capacity factor is between 30% and 60%. Variable cost will be subject to annual adjustment
in certain circumstances. KPCL is responsible for unplanned maintenance in excess of
US$100,000 per event and extraordinary expenses for additional work. The operator
guarantees an annual availability rate for the plant at 85%. For each percentage below up to
a maximum of 13% the operator will pay KPCL US$15,000 and vice versa.
7.3
Counter Party Risk
Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) is the only purchaser of electricity from the
KPCL. According to the agreement BPDB will pay all the net electricity output delivered to the
grid system from the plant with commitment to a minimum purchase equivalent to 50% plant
factor on a monthly basis. As additional, payment security is backed by Letter of Credit
covering two months of minimum tariff payments (and a Government of Bangladesh
Guarantee). Tariff invoice is payable within 45 days of the delivery of invoice. In last 12
months, the company received payment on an average 10 days ahead of due date. There has
been no dispute with BPDB regarding meter readings or invoice amounts. At present KPCL
does not seem counter party risk, because the country faces huge power shortage.
Minimum Foreign
Exchange Risk
7.4
Foreign Exchange Risk
KPCL faces minimum foreign exchange risk. Presently there is no foreign currency
denominated loan amount. The company receives revenue almost fully in US dollars. The PPA
provides exchange rate protection with the pass-through fuel cost and 99% of OMT (Other
Monthly Tariff) indexed to the exchange rate as applicable on the date of credit equivalent US
dollars in the company’s account.
Exposes fuel price
escalation risk
7.5
Fuel Price Escalation Risk
The pass through of the fuel cost under the PPA is limited to the fuel cost if the plant was
running at the heat rate as specified in the PPA. As the plant may not be running at that
specified rate due to variation in fuel quality, the extra fuel cost will not be passed through
and there is a risk that earnings will be affected by extra cost especially in the period of
higher fuel prices in the international market However, the OMT portion of the tariff generates
sufficient revenues till present period to absorb the price escalation risk.
Low supplies risk
7.6
Supplies Risk
KPCL has formal Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA) with United Summit Coastal Oil Ltd. (USCOL),
a sister concern of Summit and United for only inland carrier. KPCL imports fuel on its own
account i,e. full responsibility bestowed on KPCL. KUO Oil (Singapore) PTE LTD, a foreign
company, commercially agreed to render the offshore services (such as procurement, freight,
FOB cost differential risk, inspection, supervision of loading). USCOL acts only onshore
(Bangladesh) in connection with the portion of services of unloading, storage, transportation
and delivery to the discharge port. KPCL faces low supply risk as it can import fuel from any
commercially viable supplier and MOPS (Mean of Platts Singapore) indexed fuel costs pass
through to BPDB.

MWh of energy in FY2007 whereas licensed capacity was 963,600 MWh in both of the periods.
ON
During first half of FY2009, net energy dispatched was 410,301 MWh against 477,840 MWh of
installed capacity. The plant factor stood at 89.27% in 1H of FY2009 and 74.05% in FY2008
against 74.66% in FY2007. In terms of Economic Efficiency (production cost to energy output)
the company has improved its performance over last period. Cost per MWh of Tk. 6,267.70 in
1H of FY2009 was lower than Tk. 10,866.16 in FY2008 and Tk. 7,051.65 in FY2007. Volatility
of oil price in international market was the prime reason of volatility in ratio of economic
efficiency over the periods. Operational Efficiency (energy output to potential output at 100%
capacity) also improved in 1H of FY2009 at 87.21% from 73.20% in FY2008 and 75.86% in
FY2007.

* First Half growth of FY2009 has been annualized
KPCL is a highly profitable company and the profitability indicators were stable over the last
few years. The company enjoys exemption from tax on income for 15 years from the date of
its commercial operation. Net profit stood at Tk. 437.51 million during 1H of FY2009 against
Tk. 272.52 million in FY2008 and Tk. 309.18 million in FY2007. The profitability is highly
influenced by the fuel tariff, which is volatile in the international market. According to PPA,
PDB reimburses the fuel cost as per specified quantity of fuel per MW electricity generated.
However, due to different configuration of engines than specified in PPA, the burn rate of fuel
per MW is higher. Consequently KPCL can realize about 90% of fuel cost from BPDB and rest
10% put pressure on profitability, which were more acute during 2008 (Tk. 44,644 per MT)
and 2007 (Tk. 26,996 per MT) when fuel price was sky high than 1H of FY2009 (Tk. 23,733
per MT). Other than influence of fuel price, net profit of 1H, FY2009 substantially increased
from irregular income from EL Paso’s (a previous equity partner) term loan waiver (Tk. 91.48
million) and reduced financial expenses.
While analyzing profitability, Return on Average Asset (ROAA) has substantially increased to
17.52% (annualized) at end of 1H of FY2009 from 4.76% at YE2008 and 4.78% at YE2007.
By nature power generation industry is very capital intensive; moreover, significant trade
debtors and huge raw materials inventory induced to reduce the return on assets. Due to fall
in net profit by 11.80% and 4.25% increase in equity reduced Return on Average Equity
(ROAE) to 9.58% at YE2008 from 9.81% at YE2007. Though total amount of capital employed
decreased, the Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE) declined further to 6.99% at
YE2008 from 7.30% at YE2007. However, at end of 1H of FY2009, both annualized ROAE and
ROACE increased substantially to 35.87% and 25.16% respectively. The Earning Per Share
(EPS) of Tk. 1000 stood at Tk. 352 (annualized) at end of 1H of FY2009 against Tk. 88 at
YE2008.

The cost efficiency (cost of goods sold to sales revenue) was improved in 1H of FY2009
though the ratio was very high in the last several years. It stood at 87.24% in 1H2009 against
93.93% in FY2008 and 90.46% in FY2007. As mentioned earlier, high oil prices and freight
charges in international market caused to high cost to revenue ratio. KPCL imports furnace oil
from Singapore. C&F of fuel is calculated as the five day (immediately and after 2 days of date
of bill of lading) rolling average of MOPS (Mean of Platts Singapore). Contribution of raw
materials cost to cost of goods sold increased 90.56% in FY2008 from 85.26% in FY2007;
however, it was 84.86% in 1H of FY2009. It revealed that the price of heavy furnace oil
decrease by 46.84% in 1H of FY2009 than FY2008, however, it was 65.37% higher in FY2008
than FY2007.
Finance cost to revenue decreased to 0.21% in 1H of FY2009 against 2.13% in FY2008 and
2.60% in FY2007. Early payment of IFC term loan and preference share’s dividend, which
charged against retained earnings induced to improve the finance cost to revenue ratio in 1H
of FY2009. Administrative expense to revenue ratio stood at 1.05% in 1H of FY2009 against
0.75% in FY2008 and 1.78% in FY2007.

cumulative preference shares are redeemable in five annual installments starting from 14
May, 2010 at the second anniversary of the date of issue. By considering its nature, these
preference shares are long term liability. The internal capital generation was good and stood
at 17.62% at end of 1H of FY2009 against 11.45% at YE2008. Other than Tk.113.44 million
preference dividend, Tk. 208.59 million and Tk. 1200 million paid for FY2008 and FY2007
respectively as cash dividend. Against the above equity structure, outside liabilities stood at
Tk. 2,264.58 million representing the leverage ratio 0.91 times as on 30 June 2009 against
1.19 times at YE2008. The leverage ratio consists 0.36 as long term gearing and 0.56 as short
term gearing. Net asset value per TK. 1000 share increased to Tk. 1196.52 at end of 1H of

Small cash
conversion cycle
KPCL is basically an import based (considering volume of raw materials) company requiring
significant inventory (heavy furnace oil). Due to comparatively shorter receivable collection
period and lengthy repayment of payables, liquidity position of the company always remains
at modest level. It is reflected by its liquidity ratio which stood at 0.99 times, 1.06 times and
1.30 times at end of 1H of FY2009, FY2008 and FY2007 respectively. As per agreement, KPCL
has to keep 11,000 MT furnace oil in country for on an average 30 days production. Supplier’s
payment can be delayed upto 90 days as per L/C terms. The credit sales/receivables backed
by PPA realizable within 45 days induced to reduce average cash conversion cycle to 20-25
days. On the over, the liquidity cycle depends on as early as realization of receivables from
BPDB.
Analysis of the fund flow reveals that the company generated sufficient funds internally to
service its debt burden and other liabilities also. In FY2008, the company generated cash flow
from operation of Tk 546.87 million (1.11 times of debt coverage) and free operating cash
flow of Tk 546.45 million (1.10 times of debt coverage).

Due to sound equity and legal backings, KPCL enjoys good financial flexibility to raise funds
from different sources. With sound creditability, it enjoys a large credit limit from different
banks (BRAC Bank, Citibank NA, Pubali Bank, Shahjalal Islami Bank and Standard Bank).
Presently, KPCL enjoys funded limit of Tk. 1,109 million and non-funded limit of Tk. 2,440
million as on 30 June, 2009. However, out of the above limit, the outstanding funded bank
loan liability was Tk. 293.70 (i.e. 26.48% utilization of the limit) and non funded liability was
Tk. 316.87 million (i.e. 13% utilization of limit) as on 30 June, 2009.
While analyzing creditworthiness of the company, it revealed that with the company has been
utilizing the revolving credit limits duly. Initially the company made agreement with IFC for
$51.968 million for project loan. However, due to some compliance fulfillment by KPCL, IFC
delayed to disburse the loan. Consequently, the then two foreign sponsors i.e. El Paso and
Wartsilla provided the amount as ‘Bridge Loan’ in the proportion of 85% and 15%
respectively. Later in August, 1999 IFC disbursed $22.539 million and in October, 2002
$21.539 million. Foreign two sponsors’ loan was partially replaced by IFC loan and remaining
amount of foreign sponsors’ loan treated as term loan. The above term loans were being
repaid in semi-annual installments for a term of 9 years effective from 15 December 2002.
The remaining balance of IFC loan of Tk. 1,120.58 million had fully re-paid earlier in FY2008
from the proceeds of redeemable cumulative preference share of TK. 1,100 million. The
balance i.e. Tk. 91.98 million of El Paso loan was waived by El Paso under share transfer deal
with Summit and United. Remaining balance of Wartsilla’s loan was fully repaid in March,
2009.
The cash generation of the company was good to serve the interest obligation against the
revolving loan. Debt service coverage ratio stood at 14.53 times in 1H of FY 2009 against
1.26 times in FY2008. In term of interest coverage ratio, the earnings against the fixed cost
burden was commendable to 87.22 times in 1H of FY2009 against 3.55 times in FY2008 due
to no long term loan except preference shares in FY2009. However, by considering
redeemable preferred share as liability, the interest coverage ratio (including preferred
dividend as fixed charge) stood at 4 times in 1H of FY2009.

CONCLUSION
The power sector of Bangladesh has been passing through a critical stage due to many
reasons including shortage of production compared to demand. According to PBD, the demand
of electricity reached to 5500 MW, whereas daily power generation stayed between 3300 MW
to 3400 MW, the same was also produced in 2004-05. This wide gap between generation and
demand is not solely for no new production but also lack of consistent expansion of
transmission and distribution channels. Consequently, per capita electricity generation or
coverage of population under electricity not achieved as per Power Sector Master Plan (PSMP).
Moreover acute shortage of natural gas makes volatile the power generation. Overall, the
power sector of Bangladesh falls in a disaster. KPCL as a power generation company runs
successfully since its commercial operation. The profitability, solvency and efficiency of the
company improved over the periods. Good exposures of the entrepreneurs in power sector
and government supportive policy help to maintain company’s present stability.

Entities rated in this category are adjudged to be of best quality, offer highest
safety and have highest credit quality. Risk factors are negligible and risk
free, nearest to risk free Government bonds and securities. Changing
economic circumstances are unlikely to have any serious impact on this
category of companies.
Entities rated in this category are adjudged to be of high quality, offer higher
safety and have high credit quality. This level of rating indicates a corporate
entity with a sound credit profile and without significant problems. Risks are
modest and may vary slightly from time to time because of economic
conditions.
Entities rated in this category are adjudged to offer adequate safety for timely
repayment of financial obligations. This level of rating indicates a corporate
entity with an adequate credit profile. Risk factors are more variable and
greater in periods of economic stress than those rated in the higher
categories.
Entities rated in this category are adjudged to offer moderate degree of
safety for timely repayment of financial obligations. This level of rating
indicates that a company is under-performing in some areas. Risk factors are
more variable in periods of economic stress than those rated in the higher
categories. These entities are however considered to have the capability to
overcome the above-mentioned limitations.
Speculative Grade
Entities rated in this category are adjudged to lack key protection factors,
which results in an inadequate safety. This level of rating indicates a company
as below investment grade but deemed likely to meet obligations when due.
Overall quality may move up or down frequently within this category.
Entities rated in this category are adjudged to be with high risk. Timely
repayment of financial obligations is impaired by serious problems which the
entity is faced with. Whilst an entity rated in this category might be currently
meeting obligations in time through creating external liabilities.
Entities rated in this category are adjudged to be vulnerable and might fail to
meet its repayments frequently or it may currently meeting obligations in
time through creating external liabilities. Continuance of this would depend
upon favorable economic conditions or on some degree of external support.
Entities rated in this category are adjudged to be very highly vulnerable.
Entities might not have required financial flexibility to continue meeting
obligations; however, continuance of timely repayment is subject to external
support.
Entities rated in this category are adjudged to be with extremely speculative

expected to be in default.
Note: For long-term ratings, CRISL assigns + (Positive) sign to indicate that the issue is ranked at
the upper-end of its generic rating category and - (Minus) sign to indicate that the issue is ranked at
the bottom end of its generic rating category. Long-term ratings without any sign denote mid-levels
of each group.

Good certainty of timely payment. Liquidity factors and company fundamentals are
sound. Although ongoing funding needs may enlarge total financing requirements,
access to capital markets is good. Risk factors are small.
Moderate Grade
Moderate liquidity and other protection factors qualify an entity to be in investment
grade. Risk factors are larger and subject to more variation.

Reporting entity
1.1

each. On 8 January 2007 the authorised capital was increased to Tk. 5,000,000,000 divided
into 3,000,000 ordinary shares of Tk. 1,000 each and 2,000,000 preference shares of Tk.
1,000 each. Out of 2,000,000 preference shares, 1,100,000 were issued and fully paid up.
Further, on 19 July 2009, at an extra ordinary general meeting (EGM), the existing

class A and class B shares shall be reclassified as ordinary shares. It was also decided that
the face value of each ordinary shares be fixed at TK. 10 each instead of TK. 1, 000 each.
1.2
Nature of business
The principal activity of the company is to set up a nominally rated 110 MW liquid fuelfired, convertible to dual fuel-fired (liquid gas), barge mounted power plant in Khulna,
Bangladesh for generation of electricity, to sell generated power to any legal entity and
to acquire fuel required for such power generation from home and abroad. Since inception
the company is supplying electricity to the national grid of Bangladesh through selling the
same to Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) under Power Purchase Agreement
(PPA) between the company and BPDB.
2.
Basis of preparation
2.1
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Bangladesh Accounting
Standards (BAS) and Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRS), the Companies Act
1994 and the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987.
2.2
Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. Exceptions are
property, plant and equipment where foreign exchange gain or loss arising from foreign
currency debts taken to finance the assets is adjusted against the value of the assets as
per Companies Act 1994 .
2.3
Functional and presentational currency
The financial statements (except notes 22 and 23, where the currency mentioned as USD
for presentation purpose) are prepared in Bangladesh Taka (Taka/Tk/BDT), which is the
company's functional currency and have been rounded off to the nearest integer.
2.4
Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with BAS and BFRS requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application
of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and
in any future periods affected.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical
judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the
amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes:
Note 4 - depreciation
Note 5 - inventory valuation
Note 13 - accrued expenses and others
Note 15 - deferred liability for gratuity and earned leave
2.5
Reporting period
The financial period of the Company covers one year from 1 January to 31 December.
3.
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods
presented in these financial statements.
3.1
Property, plant and equipment
3.1.1 Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment (PPE) are measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditures that
are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. Adjustment of power plant during
the year is the adjustment for foreign exchange loss or gain as stated in note 3.1.2.
3.1.2 Capitalisation of foreign exchange gain or loss
Foreign exchange difference arising from project debts foreign currency is adjusted
against the value of the assets financed by such debt, in accordance with the Schedule XI
Part I of the Companies Act 1994. BAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange
Rates , however requires that such exchange gains/losses be recognised as
income/expense in the relevant period. The difference arising from capitalisation of
foreign exchange gain in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 1994 is,
however, not considered material by management.
3.1.3 Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the
carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied
within the part will flow to the company and its cost can be measured reliably. The
carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day to day servicing
of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.
3.1.4 Maintenance activities
The company incurs maintenance costs for all of its major items of property, plant and
equipment. Repair and maintenance costs are charged as expenses when incurred.
3.1.5 Depreciation
Depreciation on power plant has been charged considering 30 years of useful life and
residual value at 15%. Addition during the year is depreciated for full year irrespective of
date of purchase, while no depreciation is charged in the year of disposal.
The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
Power plant
30 years
Vehicles
4 years
Building and construction
10 years
Furniture and fixtures
5 years
Office equipment
5 years
Office renovation
5 years
3.1.6 Retirements and disposals
An asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected
from its use, whichever comes earlier. Gains or losses arising from the retirement or
disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the
proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the same, and are recognised net
within 'other income' in the profit and loss account.
3.2
Inventories
Inventories are measured at cost. The fuel tariff calculation formula as per PPA between
the company and BPDB assures recovery of cost. The cost of inventories is based on the
first in first out principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories
and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. When
inventories are used, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised in the period
in which the related revenue is recognised.
3.3
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and cash at bank.
3.4
Trade receivables and bad debts
Trade receivables are recognised at cost which is the fair value of the consideration given
for them.
Provision for debts doubtful of recovery, if any, are made at the discretion of management.
3.5
Provisions
A provision is recognised on the balance sheet date if, as a result of past events, the
company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and
it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation.
3.6
Impairment
The carrying amounts of the assets, other than inventories, are reviewed at each reporting
date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication
exists, then the assets' recoverable amount is estimated. No such indication of impairment
has been raised to date.
3.7
Revenue
Revenue is recognised in the profit and loss account upon supply of electricity to BPDB,
quantum of which is determined by survey of meter reading.
3.8
Foreign currency transactions
BAS 21, The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, requires balances resulting
from transactions denominated in a foreign currency to be converted into Taka at the rate
prevailing on the date of the transaction. All monetary assets and liabilities at balance
sheet date, denominated in foreign currencies, are to be retranslated at the exchange
rates prevailing on balance sheet date.
Foreign exchange difference arising from all foreign currency transactions, except for the
project debts, are charged or credited to profit and loss account. Foreign exchange
difference arising from project debts is adjusted against the value of the assets financed
by such debt, as provided in the Schedule XI Part I of the Companies Act 1994, which
requires all exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings for property,
plant and equipment to be added or deducted from the value of the assets which were
financed by such borrowings.
3.9
Lease
Lease payments under operating lease are recognised as expenses in profit and loss
account on a straight line basis over the lease term. The lessor reserves the right to revise
the rent after each period of five years and can increase the rent by a maximum of twenty
percent for five years.
3.10
Finance income and expenses
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is
recognised on accrual basis.
Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings and other finance related
costs. All borrowing costs are recognised in the profit and loss account when they accrue
using the nominal interest rate stated in related loan agreements.
3.11
Borrowing cost
Borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred unless
capitalisation of such is allowed as an alternative under Bangladesh Accounting Standard
23 Borrowing Costs .
3.12
Provision for tax
No provision for tax has been made in the accounts as the company is entitled to tax
exemption for a period of 15 years with effect from commencement of commercial
production, vide SRO no. 114-Law/99 dated 26 May 1999 issued by Government of
Bangladesh, under private sector power generation policy.
3.13
Deferred tax
As there is considerable uncertainty with regard to the taxation of such companies after
the expiry of the tax exemption period, management feels it is not possible to make a
reasonable estimate of deferred tax assets/liabilities at this stage.

Employee benefit schemes
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined
contribution plan. The company operates an unfunded gratuity scheme, which is a defined
benefit scheme, a provision in respect of which is made periodically covering all
permanent employees by applying period of employment to latest basic salary. Although
no valuation was done to quantify actuarial liabilities as per Bangladesh Accounting
Standard 19 Employee Benefits for the year ended 31 December 2009, such valuation for
only 9 employees is not likely to yield a result significantly different from the current
provision.
The company maintains a provident fund for all local employees, recognised by the
National Board of Revenue, Bangladesh. This is a defined contribution scheme as per
Bangladesh Accounting Standard 19 Employee Benefits.
The company has also a policy of earned leave encashment. Under this policy, an
employee is allowed twenty one days earned leave for each completed twelve months of
continuous service with a maximum accumulation of one hundred and five days.
3.15
Earnings per share
The company presents basic earnings per share (EPS) data for ordinary shares.
3.15.1 Basic earning per share
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to
ordinary shareholders by the number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

New standards not yet adopted
Bangladesh Accounting Standards 8 “Accounting policies: Changes in Accounting estimates
and Errors” para 30 requires that an entity makes certain disclosures when it does not
apply a new BAS/BFRS that has been issued but is not yet effective.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) had made the following
standards effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010.
(a) BAS 32: Financial Instruments Presentation
(b) BAS 39: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
(c) BFRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures
Currently the company presents its redeemable cumulative class ‘A’ preference shares as
an equity instrument and dividend paid on such preference shares has shown in Statement
of Changes in Equity. However after adoption of above standards, redeemable cumulative
preference class ‘A’ shares will be treated as liability. Dividends paid under such
arrangements will be accounted for as interest and charged to Profit and Loss Account.

Additional disclosure by the management as requested by DSE
Khulna Power Company Ltd. (“KPCL”) shall continue its operation on expiry of the current Power
Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with Bangladesh Power Development (“BPDB”) for the reasons:1.1
1.2
1.3
1.4
1.5
1.6
That Article 2.3 of the PPA has the clear provision for extension of duration of the PPA.
That KPCL plant is the most reliable plant in the BPDB grid, available for 363 days of the
year and with its 19 generating units, it is the most flexible and capable to meet BPDB’s
ever varying load demand.
That the plant operates on Furnace Oil, for dwindling natural gas production in the country,
the operation of the KPCL plant shall be continued for the years to come. The Government
policy on utilization of energy has already been shifted to use of liquid fuel for generation
of electricity, accordingly the future power plants are being built based on liquid fuel
operation.
That KPCL plant is the least cost plant operated on liquid fuel.
That the existing shortage in generation capacity of the country shall continue to exist
much beyond the year 2013, when the tenure of the current PPA expires.
That for the reasons stated above the Government of Bangladesh is actively considering
expansion the KPCL plant capacity by another 100 MW, its apparent that the extension of
the current PPA would be natural viable option for BPDB to minimize overall generation
shortfall.
Additional disclosure by the management as requested by CSE
1.
El Paso Corporation (“El Paso”) was the sponsor shareholder of Khulna Power Company Ltd. (“KPCL”) and
provided Term Loan amounting to USD 44.17 million during the implementation of the project. The loan
was being repaid on 18 semi-annual installments. In the year 2008, before the full repayment of term
loan, El Paso, as a part of its corporate business strategy, decided to withdraw from the power sector of
this region. Accordingly disposed of their shareholding in KPCL to other existing sponsor shareholders, i.e
Summit Industrial & Mercantile Corporation (Pvt) Ltd. and United Enterprises & Co. Ltd. The outstanding
balance of Term Loan amounting to USD 1.322 million (Equivalent BDT 91.48 million) was waived as being
a part of total purchase consideration package.
2.
As mentioned above, as a part of their corporate business strategy, El Paso had withdrawn their
investment from the power sector of this region. Apart from Bangladesh, they had also sold out their
power establishment in India, Pakistan, China, Phillipine and Korea. El Paso’s earnings from the power
segment comparing to their credit exposure, country risk and other financial involvement was
insignificant. Moreover, El Paso wanted to focus on their core business i.e, Gas exploration and pipeline
network. Therefore, their main object was to get rid of their power investment in this region. Under the
Members’ Agreement, El Paso was obligated to dispose their share holding in KPCL to the other interested
existing shareholders. Accordingly, El Paso had offered their shareholding to Summit and United. Under
the Members Agreement, El Paso was obligated to shoulder about USD 40 million exposure required for the
operation of the project. Therefore, in order to get rid of those obligations, El Paso had disposed of their
share under special consideration.
As per the Members Agreement, Wartsila was also required to provide corporate guarantee and other
undertakings required for the working capital facilities and operation of the project. Wartsila was not
interested to take all these huge exposure for their small shareholdings, rather wanted to focus on their
O&M operation business and other business prospect with Summit and United and therefore offered their
shareholding to the existing shareholders under special consideration.

CSE’s observation for Direct listing of Khulna Power Company Limited
1)
The terms and conditions of El Paso’s term loan waiver resulting in an income of Tk. 91,481,290
(equivalent to USD 1,322,365.89) should be mentioned in the Information Document (ID). (ref. page # 83)
2)
The per share price / consideration value at which the shares of El Paso (73.9%) and Wartsila (6.1%) in
Khulna Power Company Ltd. have been acquired by Summit Industrial and Mercantile Corporation (Pvt)
Ltd. and United Enterprises & Co. Ltd should be disclosed in ID. (ref. page # 13)
3)
The names and addresses of shareholders of Summit Industrial and Mercantile Corporation (Pvt.) Ltd. and
United Enterprises & Co. Ltd. along with their holding positions in the share capital in these respective
companies and also their interest in other listed companies as sponsors/directors, if any, should be
provided in ID.
4)
In justifying the indicative price the company has considered the following quantitative factors:
i)
Earning Based Value Per Share (EBVPS) based on the last financial statement ended on December 31, 2009
with an average market P/E of 30.
ii)
Earning Based Value Per Share (EBVPS) based on projected financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 2010 to 2014 with the same P/E.
It would have been more rational if EBVPS could be calculated also on weighted average basis considering the
financial statements for immediately preceding five years.
iii) The company has considered market value of some companies which are not similar as per the nature of
their businesses. Only the market value of Summit Power Limited should be considered as similar share,
the six months average price of which is Tk. 129.46 as mentioned in the ID.
5)
The indicative price which has been determined by the company is seemed to be high in consideration of
the observations in serial (4) mentioned above. However, the company has given some qualitative
justifications in favor of their indicative price.
6)
As per the indicative price mentioned in the information document the P/E stands at 58.06 which is
unusually high. As per SEC’s Directive, the investors are not presently allowed to use the security, having
P/E in excess of 50, as marginable securities and enjoy credit facility to purchase it under the Margin
Rules, 1999. This is presumably because the equity security with P/E exceeding 50 is too risky.
7)
In order to have a full range of justification on the indicative price, other quantitative factors such as
Price /Book Value (P/BV) multiple, Dividend Discount Model etc. should also be provided for the interest
of the investors.
8)

should also be provided under the Projected Balance Sheet. (ref. page # 88)
9)

management perceptions should be included in the risk factors as a separate point.
10) In page# 84 in serial 21.(a). detail calculation to arrive at the attributable profit (from net profit) to the
ordinary shareholders amounting Tk 582.65 mil should be provided in ID.
11) The designated bank account (Escrow Account) number for collecting bid money from the bidders should
be mentioned in ID.
12) Information on “non-operating history” should be mentioned in Risk Factors.
13) The latest development of the expansion plan with BPDB which was mentioned in the draft information

95

operating ratios, profitability ratios and solvency ratios. (ref. page # 83)
19) The shares of the company which are intended to offload should be dematerialized as per relevant rules
and regulations prior to commencement of trading.
20) The words “exchange does” in the 3rd line of the statement in the cover page of the ID should be replaced
by the words “exchanges do”.
21) The web site addresses of CSE and DSE should be mentioned under the head of “Availability of Information
Document”.
22) The words “The company shall offload” under the head of A. 1. (page # 1) should be replaced by the
words “The existing shareholders of the company shall offload”.
23) In page # 2, the content should not include future direction under the head “Declaration about Listing of
Shares with the stock exchange(s)”.
24) The words “which has been hosted at DSE & CSE Trading System” mentioned in serial # 2. (vi) (page # 2)
should be omitted.
25) In serial # 3 (page # 3), the reference no. of rule should be mentioned as “8.B.(16)(4)( c)” in place of
“16(4)( c)”. Moreover, the words “five” and “three” in the first line should be consistent with the relevant
information in the table.
26) In page # 31 in serial # F, the title of Anjuman Aziz Khan should be mentioned as “Mrs” in place of “Mr”.

provided under the head of “ certain relationships and related transactions with related parties”. (ref.
