Chairman’s Statement
j
Dear Honored Shareholders:
I am pleased to welcome you all to the 55th General Meeting to discuss the Company’s
achievements for the year 2009 and its future plans.
The company has continued to perform its duties to meet the needs of the Kingdom of various oil products under continued volatility of oil prices with an average price of $ 62 per
barrel of oil during the year 2009, compared with $ 100 per barrel in 2008, which had a
positive impact on cash flows for the company as a result of lower crude oil prices, which
constitute a main element in the cost of sales .
Despite these factors and by reviewing the financial statements of the company in 2009,
we note that the value of the company,s sales decreased by 24.3% as it reached JD (1,818)
billion, compared to JD (2,403) billion in 2008 , and that due to decrease in petroleum
products, sales prices in line with falling global crude oil prices despite the increase in sales
quantities which increased by 1.57% from the year 2008; However, the company achieved
a JD 13.2 Million as a net Profit before tax compared to JD 9.7 Million in 2008.,with a
growth of 36 % . Additionally, the company,s total assets fell to JD 534 million compared to
JD 542 million in 2008, mainly as a result of the decrease of JD (64) million in the Ministry
of Finance debit account caused by collection of due amounts received from the Ministry.
Dear Honored Shareholders:
The company is continuing its enormous efforts to attract a strategic or financial partner
to enable it to implement the fourth expansion project, which aims to increase the refining
capacity and to produce high quality products in accordance with the latest international
specifications and to convert heavy fuel oil into light products of high value to enable the
company to compete in the open market.
On 1/9/2009 the council of Ministries decided in its Resolution No. 5954 to grant the company an exclusivity for 15 years, consisted of 5 years to implement the project and ten years
thereafter to serve the debt and all of that is subject to the ability of the company to attract a
strategic partner. The government directed the company to invite all interested investors and
those who showed interest to submit their bids for entering into strategic partnership in the
refinery. On 15/12/2009 the Council of Ministers decided to suspend all measures associated
with the resolution No. 5954 and formed a ministerial committee to study the procedures
that the refinery followed to attract the strategic partner and determine the conditions to be
developed by the government to grant exclusivity.
The company and the government agreed to renew the Service Agreement to import, store
and distribute oil derivatives which was signed on 25/2/2008 and was approved by the extraordinary general meeting of the company on 22/3/2008 till the end of 31/12/2010. Accordingly, the company paid JD 3 million to the Ministry of Finance as a settlement of 2008
,
profits and agreed to fix the company s refining and distribution profits for 2009 to be JD

7.5 million after tax and exclude the profit of Lube oils activities plus an amount of 10
cents as extra profit for each barrel received from Iraqi oil .
Continuing company,s policy to expand its share in the market, the company bought four
gas stations, and is currently in negotiation with some other stastions owners in order to
purchase their stations. Moreover, the company intends to build more stations, and it has
bought some lands for this purpose.
Dear Honored Shareholders:
I am pleased to inform you that, after reviewing the outcome of the Company,s performance
and net profits for year 2009, the Board of Directors recommends to the General Assembly
to approve the distribution of (25%) dividend of the paid capital.
In conclusion, I would like to express my thanks to our enlightened government for its
continued support to enable the Company achieve its mission and to all the parties that cooperated with the Company, and specially, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Energy
and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Standards and Meteorology
Corporation, the General Directorate of Civil Defense and all other official bodies. I would
like also to express my thanks and appreciation to the Union of Petrol Filling Stations and
to the owners of the filling stations themselves and to the gas distribution centers as well as
the Jopetrol Lube Oil distribution centers for their continued cooperation with the Company.
In addition, I would like to express my thanks and gratitude to members of the Board of
Directors, The Company General Management and its employees, for their sincere efforts in
serving the Company.

A Historical Brief
The idea of building a Refinery was first conceived by the Ministry of National Economy along with a Group of Jordanian businessmen in 1952.What prompted this idea, in
addition to the Kingdom’s need for fuels, was the passage of Tapline through Jordan.
The establishment of JPRC witnessed the following milestones:
> On 30/06/1956, The Council of Ministers granted the go-ahead to set up a refinery
in the Ha-shemite Kingdom of Jordan, and on 30/10/1957, The Council of Ministers
approved the Company,s regulation and the Company was registered in the Ministry
of Justice as a public limited company with a concession and with an issued share
capital of four million Jordanian Dinars to which the Government contributed 250
thousand Jordanian Dinars.
> On 16/11/1957, the Concession Agreement was signed between the Government
represented by the Minister of National Economy, the late Mr.Khulusi Al Khairi,
and Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company, represented by its then Chairman, the late
Mr.Abdul Majeed Shoman.
> On 10/2/1958, the concession agreement was endorsed by the Government and published in the Official Gazette (issue number 1373), on 03/03/1958.
> On 8/9/1958, The Board of Directors awarded a tender to construct a refinery to an
Italian Company, and on 9/10/1958 the agreement was signed to implement the
project that included the construction and running of a refinery with a daily production capacity of (1000) tons perday at a cost of approximately (3) million Jordanian
Dinars, also another tender was awarded to construct a pipeline of (8) inch diameter and a (43) kilometer long connecting the Refinery to the Tapline at a cost of
(235000) Jordanian Dinars.
> On 1/1/1961, the Company started producing different petroleum products .
> On 2/2/1961 the Jordan Petroleum Refinery was officially inaugurated by His Majesty the late King Hussein Bin Talal.
The Refinery through its lifetime had witnessed many expansion and development
projects, that included the following:
> Increased the Refinery,s capacity to (14000) tons per day through three expansion
projects, which were completed in (1970, 1973 and 1982,) raising the capacity to

( (8700) ton per day and the throughput was subsequently increased to (14000) tons
per day in 1998 by the technical and engineering staff of the Refinery.
Construction and commissioning of lube-oil blending and packing plant in the year
1977 of ( 25000) tons per year capacity with the technical cooperation of Shell.

Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company
Fourth Expansion Project
Due to the growth in demand on petroleum products in the Hashemite Kingdom of
Jordan, the existing refinery can no longer meet the local market requirements. Considering the high cost of importing refined petroleum products from the international
markets by sea to Aqaba, handling, storing and transporting these products by tankers
to the consumption points in all parts of the Kingdom, taking into consideration that
the oil dock is unable to handle large quantities or various types of petroleum products
in addition to crude oil. Feasibility studies proved that the fourth expansion project
is necessary to be executed to meet the expected increase in demand (and to produce
products that are as a whole, in accordance with the latest international specifications)
and to be ready for competition in an open market.
Decline in demand on fuel oil started in the later part of 2003 as a result of the use of
natural gas in electricity generating plants. During 2006, natural gas reached central
and northern Jordan, and will eventually replace heavy fuel oil and diesel in power
plants. This will create a need to add conversion units to the existing Refinery to
convert cheap, surplus heavy fuel oil into valuable petroleum products like diesel,
kerosene, gasoline and LPG.
The forthcoming expansion project will include new units to produce petroleum products meeting the International Specifications as will as to enable the company to continue the production of unleaded gasoline but at a lower cost. Moreover, sulfur in
diesel will be less than (10) ppm compared to the current sulfur content of (1.2%) .
Furthermore, the expansion project will greatly improve performance of the refinery.
In 1998 Jordan Petroleum Refinery contracted the services of Kellogg Brown &Root
and Purvin & Gertz Companies to study the expansion of the Refinery. The study
had to be revised following the Government signing in 2000 an agreement to import
natural gas from Egypt. The Company commissioned Consulting firms lead by Atlas
Group (Taylor Dejongh, McCarthy Tetrault and Jacobs) to revise the earlier studies.
«Jacobs» completed the feasibility study of the fourth stage expansion project and
the financial advisor «Taylor DeJongh» studied the financing alternatives in addition
to other financial issues like assets evaluation, concluding that there is a need for a
strategic partner.
Based on that study, the company with a grant from the Japan Bank for International
Cooperation commissioned the Japanese companies Toyo Engineering Company and
Mitsui Company to study the best technologies available for licensors selection.
On 19/12/2005,The Company commissioned Citigroup as a financial advisor to prepare the terms of reference and to give financial advice as well as doing all necessary
steps to help find a strategic partner to help in financing the fourth stage expansion
project. Three international consultants (Technical, Legal and Accounting) have been
appointed to prepare a concise information memorandum, conditions of financing and
qualification documents. On the 15th of December 2006, the financial consultant sent
this concise information memorandum (Teaser Document) to (29) Foreign investors
from outside the Kingdom requesting from interested investors to send their replies
prior to 31st January 2007. Replies from twelve interested investors were received by
31st of January 2007. They were requested to pay refundable deposit of US 100,000
in order to provide them with Information Memorandum as well as a letter indicating
how they are going to submit their technical and financial offers. Five consortiums
54th Annual Report
17
have deposited the amount required and as such they were provided with due information. They were asked to visit the Data Room which the company established in
cooperation with the financial advisor. The mentioned consortiums visited the Data
Room, met the management of the company, attended a management representation
and made a visit to the various sites of the company.
Based on the schedule prepared by the financial advisor, The company received two
offers from a consortium of the Future plans Co. and a consortium of Citadel Capital,
the offers were conditioned on obtaining an exclusive right and other requests, but the
government did not approve most of these requests because they were incompatible
with the government strategy for liberalizing the energy sector, which led to withdrawal of key members of the both consortiums. Therefore, the Board of Directors
decided to inform the consortiums of terminating the negotiations, in addition to that,
the company has developed an alternative plan in case efforts failed to attract a strategic partner to ensure the implementation of the expansion project by spontaneous
raising of the capital and assuring needed financing .
On 5/4/2009 a memorandum of understanding and information Non-Disclosure agreement was signed with INFRA (MENA) for three months exclusivity period to allow
them to conduct a study on the company,s status and the feasibility of implementing
the fourth expansion .
On 2/7/2009 INFRA(MENA) submitted financial, technical and legal offer within the
time frame and was transferred to the company,s internal and external consultants for
further studies and evaluations.
On 6/8/2009 a meeting was held by the committee that was formed on 15/6/2009
by a decision from the Prime Minister and their scope of work was to study the
time required for the exclusivty of the expansion program ,and on 10/8/2009 recommendations were submitted to the Prime Minister in accordance with the following
justification:1. To maintain the refinery as a national operating Company is a national strategic
goal because it is a safe and secure source to provide the Kingdom,s with its needs
of Petroleum products and it employs around (3600) Jordanian citizen and its
economic added value to the national economy, is high .
2. All offers of previous Investors for the partnership demanded exclusivity ranging
from 15-18 years (Including the period of implementation of the project).
3. Several countries have given an exclusivity period of not less than 15 years, including Turkey and others.
4. The withdrawal of the former bidders indicated the need to provide the best incentives that can attract investors especially in light of the global financial crisis
which led to difficulties in obtaining finance and the hesitancy of investors to invest in huge capital projects.
5. Risk associated with cash flow of the project is relatively high compared with
some other strategic projects, which requires assurance by the government to the
investors through granting the exclusivity .
6. Prices will be determined according to the specific and approved mechanism, and
there are technical controls to ensure the quality of the products is in accordance
18
Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company
with international specifications . On the other hand, distribution of products to
consumers are mostly carried out by other companies.
7. All companies which had interests in strategic partnership with the refinery subjected their offers to obtaining the exclusivity. The exclusivity becomes more
necessary in the light of global economic crisis and the scarcity of funding as a
result of banks, difficulties to grant loans and this was confirmed by the financial
advisor (Citigroup) in their letter dated 15/8/2009.
On 10/9/2009 the decision of the Council of Ministers resolution No. 5954 issued on
1/9/2009 granting an exclusive period for (15) years conditioned with the company
to attract a strategic partner , and to enable the company to negotiate and attract interested investors on this basis.
On 28/9/2009 The company asked both the financial advisor (Citigroup) and the legal
advisor (Norton Rose) to study the Council of Ministers decision and how to attract
interested investors and in the meantime giving priority to the Jordanian investors,
either through strategic partnership or through issuing shares to the public .
On 30/9/2009 the Board of Directors took the decision to entrust the financial advisor
(Citigroup) to send expression of interest invitations to investors who had expressed
interest in entering as a strategic partner and they were (12), and to clarify the conditions stated in the Council of Ministers decision .
On 16/10/2009 the financial advisor sent a memo to inform (15) investors who were
interested, that the last date for receipt of the expressions of interest letters, was extended from 30/10/2009 to 27/11/2009.
On 15/12/2010 the Council of Ministers decided to suspend resolution No. 5954 and
to set a ministerial committee to study the procedures that had been followed by the
refinery to attract a partner and the conditions for granting exclusivity.

Independent Auditor’s Report
AM / 7609
To the Shareholders of
Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company
Amman - Jordan
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company (a Public Shareholding Limited Company), which comprise of
the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2009, and the consolidated statement of income, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in shareholders› equity, and consolidated statement of cash flows
for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. We have previously audited the consolidated financial statements of the
Company for the year 2008, and issued our qualified report thereon dated June 8, 2009.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control
relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying
appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in
the circumstances.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is toa express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements
based on our audit. Except for what is stated in paragraph (a) below, we conducted our
audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on
the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company,s preparation
and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company›s internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of ac-
54th Annual Report
61
counting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Basis of Qualified Opinion
As stated in Notes (2 and 30) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s
concession period ended on March 2, 2008. Accordingly, the Company signed a settlement agreement with the Jordanian Government on February 25, 2008, concerning the expiry of the concession, which was approved by its General Assembly in its extraordinary
meeting dated March 22, 2008. Moreover, no final settlement has been reached regarding
the provision for doubtful debts and provision for slow-moving and spoiled inventory,
whereby recoveries from these two provisions balances outstanding as of the concession expiry date should be credited to the Government, in addition to the Government›s
requirement that any new or additional provisions should be agreed on with the Government according to the Ministry of Finance letter dated November 15, 2009 concerning
the settlement of pending financial issues between the Government and the Company
provided that these provisions are to be reviewed quarterly. Furthermore, the Ministry of
Finance has been informed of the outstanding provisions amounts and balances with the
Government as of December 31, 2009 per the Company,s letter No. 2/25/7/2953 dated
March 18, 2010. The Minsitry of Finance approval of these balances and provisions as of
December 31, 2009 has been received per the Ministry of Finance letter No. 18/4/8801
dated March 30, 2010.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion, except for the effect of any adjustments that might have been determined
to be necessary had we been able to verify the financial impact of the settlement agreement with the Government mentioned in paragraph (a) above, the consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company as of December 31, 2009, its consolidated financial
performance, and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards.
Emphasis of Matter Paragraphs
Without further qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the following:
1. As stated in Notes (2 and 20) to the consolidated financial statements, the Ministry
of Finance, per its letter No. 18/4/9952 dated April 29, 2009, required the Company
to record the surplus in the targeted profit in excess of JD 7.5 million annually to the
Government,s account. Moreover, the Company,s Board of Directors rejected, in its
resolution No. 75/2009 dated May 14, 2009, to impose a profit ceiling for the Company. The Board of Directors reiterated this rejection in its resolution No. 127/2009 dat-
62
Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company
ed November 3, 2009. According to the Board of Directors, resolution No. 132/2009
dated November 15, 2009 and the Council of Ministers approval in its meeting dated
November 24, 2009, the relationship between the Government and the Company for
the year 2009 has been settled through the recognition of an annual profit of JD 7.5
million after tax excluding the profits from the Lube Oil Factory and the surplus realized from refining Iraqi crude oil provided that any new provisions or increase in the
outstanding provisions are agreed on with the Government. Consequently, the Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2009 on the basis of the targeted net profit of JD 7.5 million excluding the income
from the Lube Oil Factory and the Company,s share from the surplus realized from
refining Iraqi crude oil. This resulted in claiming JD 3,666,853 from the Government
according to this settlement.
2. As stated in Notes (2 and 10) to the consolidated financial statements, the Ministry
of Energy and Mineral Resources and the Ministry of Finance, through the Pricing Committee,s resolutions, adjusted the prices of some petroleum products. This
resulted in a reduction in the Company,s share of revenue according to IPP prices
compared to what the Company should have received according to the previously
approved arrangements over seven months period starting June 2009, and the surplus
is considered to be payable to the Ministry of Finance. However, the Company,s
management considers this procedure contradicting to the service agreement signed
between the Company and the Government which states that approval be granted to
the Company to carryout its activities on a commercial basis. This treatment resulted
in reduction of the Company,s realized profits of approximately JD 23.6 million for
the period from June 2009 to December 31, 2009, as reported by management.
Report on Legal Requirements
The Company maintains proper accounting records, and the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in agreement therewith and with the financial statements presented in the Board of Directors, report, and we recommend that the General Assembly
of Shareholders take into consideration the effect of what is mentioned in paragraph (a)
and paragrahs (1 and 2) above when approving these consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are a translation of the original
consolidated financial statements in the Arabic language to which reference should be
made.

JORDAN PETROLEUM REFINERY COMPANY
(A PUBLIC SHAREHOLDING LIMITED COMPANY)
AMMAN - JORDAN
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General
The Company was established on July 8, 1956 with a capital of JD 4 million. In 1968,
the Company doubled its capital to JD 8 million, and in 1976 the capital was increased
to JD 32 million.
In addition to the main units of refining and producing hydrocarbon products, the Company owns four factories for the production of lube-oils, LPG cylinders, containers, and
asphalt drums. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of the main refining units and those of the subsidiary factories.
In addition to the refining and production of hydrocarbon products, the Company transports and distributes the products to distribution stations all over the Kingdom. It is
also responsible for the maintenance of these stations and the marketing of lube-oils.
According to the settlement agreement with the Jordanian government, dated February
25, 2008 concerning the termination of the concession, the Company should segregate some of the Company›s activities through establishing new companies wholly or
partially owned by Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company after the expiry of the concession agreement on March 2, 2008. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the
Company established two subsidiary companies wholly owned by Jordan Petroleum
Refinery Company, namely: Jordan Liquid Gas Manufacturing and Packing Company
and Jordan Lube-oil Manufacturing Company. These companies have been founded in
preparation of the segregation of the activities of gas packing and lube-oil manufacturing. Moreover, none of these companies has conducted any commercial activities yet.
Additionally, Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company is still in the process of segregating
the Company›s other activities.
The Board of Directors approved the accompanying consolidated financial statements
in its decision No. (65/2010) in its meeting held on March 17, 2010; and they are subject to the approval of the General Assembly of Shareholders.
2. The Concession Agreement
On February 10, 1958, Law No. (19) of the Year 1958 was issued to ratify the concession agreement signed between the Government and the Company on November 16,
1957. According to this agreement, the Government granted the Company a concession for fifty years, giving it the exclusive right to establish and invest in facilities for
the refining and processing of petroleum and hydrocarbon products and derivatives
thereof; to engage in the storage, distribution and selling of these products; to own and
lease lands; and other rights. Furthermore, the Company is exempted from all fees and
customs duties that would otherwise be charged on goods and materials imported for
the Company›s operations.
In accordance with the concession agreement, the Government has the right to determine and monitor the prices of oil, crude oil and products supplied for local consump-
72
Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company
tion. Furthermore, the Company shall submit to the Government a detailed statement
of production costs. In consultation with the Company, the Government shall specify
sales prices, and make every now and then amendments thereto as necessary. However, profit including income tax shall neither exceed 16% nor be lower than 7.5% of
the nominal value of the Company,s shares (taken on the basis of accounting periods of
five years each). The last period started in the year 2006 and ended on March 2, 2008,
the date on which the concession agreement expired.
The Company together with the Ministry of Finance settled the excess earnings for
the period ending in the year 2005 according to the concession agreement. The differences of JD 3.6 million have been settled from the statutory reserve in accordance with
the Ministry of Finance Letter No. 18/4/10494 dated October 31, 2006. Moreover, the
concession agreement expired on March 2, 2008. Accordingly, the Company signed a
settlement agreement with the Government dated February 25, 2008, concerning the
expiry of the concession agreement, which was approved by the Company,s General
Assembly in its extraordinary meeting dated March 22, 2008. Moreover, the financial
effect of some items in this agreement has not been determined nor reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as stated in (Note 30). Additionally, no
final settlement has been reached regarding the provision for doubtful debts and provision for slow-moving and spoiled inventory, and excess earnings for the period from
the beginning of the year 2006 up to the end of the concession period on March 2, 2008.
Moreover, during the year 2009 the Company transferred an amount of JD 1,159,933
from the statutory reserve to the account of the Ministry of Finance to settle the excess
earnings for the period from the beginning of the year 2006 to the expiry of the concession dated March 2, 2008.
The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and Ministry of Finance, through the
Pricing Committee,s resolutions, adjusted the prices of some petroleum products. This
resulted in a reduction in the Company,s share of revenue according to IPP prices
compared to what the Company should have received according to the previously approved arrangements over seven months period starting June 2009, and the surplus is
considered to be payable to the Ministry of Finance, contrary to what it is stated in item
4-2 of the service agreement signed between the Company and Government, which
states that approval be granted to the Company to carryout its activities on a commercial basis so that the local market petroleum derivatives prices are made according to
the pricing mechanisms approved by the Governmental Petroleum Derivatives Pricing
Committee based on international prices (IPP).This treatment resulted in reduction of
the Company,s realized profits of approximately JD 23.6 million for the period from
June 2009 to December 31, 2009.
According to Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company,s Board of Directors, resolution
No. 132/2009 dated November 15, 2009, the subject matter of His Excellency the Minister of Finance,s letter No. (18/4/25741) dated November 15, 2009, was approved to
settle the outstanding financial issues between the Company and both the Ministry of
Finance and Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources on the following basis:
1. Through the petroleum derivatives pricing mechanisms, annual profit of JD 7.5 million after tax will be achieved related to the refining and distribution activities taking
into consideration that the change in the Company,s expenses is within the normal
ratios.
54th Annual Report
73
2. The Lube - Oil Factory,s income referred to item (1) above shall be excluded provided that it is subject to income tax.
3. The Company shall be granted an amount of 10 cents / barrel from the surplus realized for the Government as additional income from refining the Iraqi crude oil.
This consideration is calculated based on the quantity of the barrels received by the
Company provided that this income shall be subjected to tax.
4. Agreement shall be made between the Government’s representatives and Director
of the Audit Committee arising from the Company,s Board of Directors concerning
any new provisions or increasing the outstanding provisions. These provisions shall
be reviewed quarterly.
According to the Prime Ministry,s resolution in its meeting held on November 24,
2009, the above items have been approved to settle the financial relationship between
the Government and Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company for the year 2009.
Consequently, the Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2009 on the basis of the targeted income of JD 7.5 million.
This resulted in a claim by the Company of JD 3,666,853 from the Government according to this settlement.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements
- The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and related interpretations.
- The consolidated financial statements are stated in Jordanian Dinar.
The accounting policies adopted in this year are consistent with those applied in the
year ended December 31, 2008 except for the following:
- IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’
The IASB published amendments to IFRS 7 in March 2009, which became effective
in 2009. The amendment requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements and liquidity risk. In particular, the amendment requires disclosure of fair
value measurements by level of a fair value measurement hierarchy. The adoption of
the amendment results in additional disclosures but does not have an impact on the
financial position or the comprehensive income of the Company and subsidiaries.
- IFRS 8 – Operating Segments. This standard, which replaced International Accounting Standard No. 14 «segment reporting», requires the adoption of the «management style in the presentation of internal reports» in the presentation of operating segments. This resulted in the presentation of additional operating segments.
Moreover, these operating segments will be presented in a manner consistent with
the internal reports presented to decision makers.
The adoption of this standard has had no impact on the financial position or the comprehensive income of the Company and subsidiaries
- IAS 1 (2007) Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for annual peri-
74
Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company
ods on or after January 1, 2009). The amendment to IAS 1 has led to some changes
including amended titles for the financial statements in addition to some changes in
their presentation and disclosure. However, this standard has had no effect on the
results of operations and financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries. This
standard requires that all changes in non – equity holders’ accounts within shareholders’ equity (i.e. comprehensive income) be presented separately in the statement
of comprehensive income.
The details of significant accounting policies are as follows:
a. Basis of Consolidation of the Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, and entities under its control, control is achieved when the
Company has the ability to control the financial and operating policies of the subsidiary company to obtain benefits from its activities. Transactions, balances, revenues,
and expenses between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated.
- The financial statements of the subsidiary companies are prepared for the same fiscal
year of the Company through adopting the same accounting policies of the Company. If the accounting policies adopted by the subsidiary differ from those adopted
by the Company, the necessary adjustments to the subsidiary company,s financial
statements are made so that its accounting policies match those of the Company.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company owns the following subsidiaries:

b. The crude oil and finished products price is determined according to the lower of
cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined according to the weighted average
method.
Finished and under process products at the subsidiaries, lube-oil and cylinders factories are stated at the lower of cost, following the weighted average method, or net
realizable value.
Raw materials, spare parts and supplies are stated at the lower of cost, following
the weighted average method, or net realizable value. A provision is taken for slow
moving-inventory items.
54th Annual Report
75
c.Available-for-Sale Investments
These represent financial assets that the Company does not intend to classify as trading financial assets or held to maturity.
Available-for-sale investments are stated at cost, plus acquisition expenses when
acquired, and are revalued at fair value subsequently. Changes in the fair value of investments are recorded in a separate account within the statement of comprehensive
income and shareholders’ equity. In case any of these investments is sold wholly or
partially, or impaired, then the recorded gain or loss therefrom is transferred from
shareholders’ equity to the consolidated statement of income.
The impairment loss previously recorded in the consolidated statement of income
can be recovered if it becomes objectively evident that the increase in fair value
occurred in a period subsequent to the recording of the impairment loss. Moreover,
the impairment loss of debt instruments can be recovered through the consolidated
statement of income, while the impairment loss in companies shares can be recovered through the cumulative change in fair value.
d. Fair Value
Fair value represents the closing market price of financial assets and derivatives on
the date of the consolidated financial statements. In case declared market prices do
not exist, active trading of some financial assets and derivatives is not available, or
the market is inactive, fair value is estimated by one of several methods including
the following:
- Comparison with the present market value of a very similar financial instrument.
- Analysis of future cash flows and discounting expected cash flows at a rate used
for a similar financial instrument.
- Adoption of options pricing models.
The evaluation methods aim at obtaining a fair value that reflects market expectations and considers market factors and any expected risks or benefits upon valuing
financial instruments. Furthermore, financial instruments the fair value of which
cannot be reliably measured are stated at cost net of any impairment in their value.
e. Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. Moreover, a provision for
doubtful debts is computed according to management’s estimates, and the recoverable amounts.
f. Fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment
(if any), and depreciated (except for land), when ready for use, according to the
straight-line method over their expected operating lives at annual rates as follows:
76

Distribution stations assets
10 – 15
Other fixed assets
7 – 11

40
- When the recoverable amount of any fixed asset becomes less than its net book
value, its value is reduced to the recoverable amount and the impairment loss is
charged to the consolidated statement of income.
- The productive lives of fixed assets are revalued at the end of every year. If revaluation differs from previous estimates, the change is recorded in subsequent years,
being a change in estimate.
- Fixed assets are eliminated when disposed of or when no future benefits are expected from their use or disposal.
g. A provision for income tax is taken through estimating the expected tax liabilities.
The realized differences in estimated income tax are recorded in the consolidated
statement of income when paid upon reaching a final settlement with the Income
and Sales Tax Department.
h. Deferred taxes are taxes expected to be paid or recovered due to temporary
timing differences between the value of the assets or liabilities in the consolidated
financial statements and the value on the basis of which tax is calculated. Furthermore, deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method in the consolidated
financial statements according to the tax rates expected to be applied at the time of
settlement of the income tax liability or the recognition of the deferred tax assets.
- On the consolidated financial statements date, the balance of deferred tax assets
and liabilities are reviewed and reduced in case it is expected that the Company
would not benefit in whole or in part from the deferred tax assets, or the tax liability is settled or no longer needed.
54th Annual Report
77
i. Provisions are recognized when the Company has liabilities at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position arising from previous events, settlement of
these liabilities is probable, and their value can be reliably measured.
j. Revenue from fuel sales is recognized upon delivery of fuel to the customer and
issuance of the invoice.
k. Interest is charged to the consolidated statement of income on the accrual basis.
l. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in Jordanian Dinars at the exchange
rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated to Jordanian Dinars at the average exchange rates
published by the Central Bank of Jordan at year-end. The resulting exchange gains
or losses are taken to the consolidated statement of income.
m. A provision for the replacement of damaged gas cylinders is taken based on technical studies that estimate the number of cylinders intended to be destroyed every
year.
n.The Company adopts the self-insurance policy for vehicles. A provision is taken
against vehicles accidents equivalent to the value of the comprehensive insurance
premiums of the vehicles and their cargo.
o.A provision for slow-moving, idle, and spoiled goods is taken based on technical
studies performed by the Company,s specialized committees.
p.A Provision for end-of-service indemnity is booked for any legal or contractual
obligations related to end-of-service indemnity, death and disability at the end of the
employees, services according to the accumulated service terms at the date of the
consolidated statement of financial position and the Company,s internal regulations.
q.Accounting Estimates
Preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the application of accounting polices require the Company,s management to estimate and
assess some items affecting financial assets and liabilities and to disclose contingent liabilities. These estimates and assumptions also affect revenues, expenses,
provisions, and changes in the fair value within shareholders› equity and require the
Company,s management to estimate and assess the amounts and timing of future
cash flows. The aforementioned estimates and assumptions are based on multiple
factors with varying degrees of assessment and uncertainty. Moreover, the actual results may differ from the estimates due to the changes resulting from the conditions
and circumstances of those estimates in the future.
The Company,s management believes that the estimates in the consolidated finan-
78
Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company
cial statements are reasonable. The details are as follows:
- A provision for doubtful debts, and slow-moving and spoiled inventory items is
taken on the basis and estimates approved by management in conformity with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
- Income tax expense for the year is accounted for in accordance with the prevailing
laws, regulations, and International Financial Reporting Standards.
- Management periodically reassesses the economic useful lives of tangible assets
for the purpose of calculating annual depreciation based on the general condition of these assets and the assessment of their expected useful economic lives in
the future. Impairment loss (if any) is charged to the consolidated statement of
income.
- A provision for cylinders expected to be scrapped and replaced in the future is
taken on the basis and assumptions approved by the Company,s management according to International Financial Reporting Standards.
- A provision is booked for any legal or contractual obligations related to end-ofservice indemnity and death and disability according to the Company,s internal
regulations.
- Management frequently reviews financial assets stated at cost to estimate any
decline in their value. Impairment loss (if any) is charged to the consolidated
statement of income.
- A provision for lawsuits raised against the Company is taken based on an approved
legal study prepared by the Company’s legal consultants. According to the study,
probable future risks are identified. This study is reviewed periodically.
- Fair value hierarchy:
The Company is required to determine and disclose the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are categorised in their entirety,
segregating fair value measurements in accordance with the levels defined in
IFRS. Differentiating between Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements, i.e.,
assessing whether inputs are observable and whether the unobservable inputs
are significant, may require judgement and a careful analysis of the inputs used
to measure fair value, including consideration of factors specific to the asset or
liability.
r. Adoption of New and Revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
r.a Standards affecting presentation and disclosure
The following new and revised standards have been adopted in these consolidated
financial statements for the current period. The details of other Standards and Inter-
54th Annual Report
79
pretations that have been adopted but that have had no effect on the consolidated
financial statements are set out in section r.b.
IAS 1 (as revised in 2007) Presentation of Financial
Statements
IAS 1 (2007) has introduced terminology changes
(including revised titles for the financial statements)
and changes in the format and content of the financial statements.
Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments
(Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments:
Disclosures)
The amendments to IFRS 7 expand the disclosures
required in respect of fair value measurements
and liquidity risk. The Company has elected not to
provide comparative information for these expanded
disclosures in the current year in accordance with the
transitional reliefs offered in these amendments.
IFRS 8 Operating Segments
IFRS 8 is a disclosure standard that has resulted in
re-designation of the Company,s reportable segments.
r.b Standards and Interpretations adopted with no effect on the financial statements
The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have also been adopted in these consolidated financial statements of the Company. Their adoption
has not had any significant impact on the amounts or disclosure reported in these
consolidated financial statements but may affect the accounting for future transactions or arrangements.
Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments
(Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures)
The amendments to IFRS 7 expand the disclosures required in respect of fair value measurements and liquidity
risk.
IFRS 8 Operating Segments
IFRS 8 is a disclosure Standard that requires re-designation of the Company,s reportable segments based on the
segments used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to
allocate resources and assess performance. [There was no
material impact of this Standard on the previous disclosures and reported results or the financial position of the
Company since the business segments reported earlier as
per the requirements of IAS 14 Segment Reporting are
also used by the General Manager to allocate resources to
the segments and to assess their performance.
IFRS for SMEs Small and Medium-sized Entities
80
This Standard is available immediately but the adoption
has to be decided by the jurisdiction of implementation
Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company
Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment - Vesting Conditions and Cancellations
IAS 23 (as revised in 2007) Borrowing Costs
Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
– Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations
Arising on Liquidation
IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes
IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real
Estate
IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign
Operation
The amendments clarify the definition of vesting conditions for the purposes of IFRS 2, introduce the concept
of ‘non-vesting’ conditions, and clarify the accounting
treatment for cancellations.
The principal change to the Standard was to eliminate the
option to expense all borrowing costs when incurred. This
change has had no impact on these financial statements
because it has always been the Company›s accounting
policy to capitalise borrowing costs incurred on qualifying assets.
The revisions to IAS 32 amend the criteria for debt/equity classification by permitting certain puttable financial
instruments and instruments (or components of instruments) that impose on an entity an obligation to deliver
to another party a pro-rata share of the net assets of the
entity only on liquidation, to be classified as equity, subject to specified criteria being met.
The Interpretation provides guidance on how entities
should account for customer loyalty programmes by allocating revenue on sale to possible future award attached
to the sale.
The Interpretation addresses how entities should determine whether an agreement for the construction of
real estate is within the scope of IAS 11 Construction
Contracts or IAS 18 Revenue and when revenue from the
construction of real estate should be recognized.
The Interpretation provides guidance on the detailed
requirements for net investment hedging for certain hedge
accounting designations.
The Interpretation addresses the accounting by recipients for transfers of property, plant and equipment from
‘customers’ and concludes that when the item of property,
IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers (adplant and equipment transferred meets the definition of an
opted in advance of effective date of transfers of assets asset from the perspective of the recipient, the recipient
from customers received on or after 1 July 2009)
should recognise the asset at its fair value on the date of
the transfer, with the credit recognised as revenue in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue.
Improvements to IFRSs (2008)
Amendments to IFRS 3, 5, IAS 1, IAS 16, IAS 19, IAS
20, IAS 27, IAS 28, IAS 29, IAS 31, IAS 36, IAS 38,
IAS 39, IAS 40 and IAS 41 resulting from May and October 2008 Annual Improvements to IFRSs the majority
of which is effective for annual periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2009.

1 January 2013
The Company,s management anticipates that the adoption of these Standards and Interpretations in future periods will have no material impact on the consolidated financial
statements of the Company in the period of initial application except for the following:
IFRS 9
The application of the current version of IFRS 9 would mainly result in applying different classification and measurement criteria for financial assets. The requirements
of IFRS 9 apply a consistent approach to classifying financial assets and replace the
numerous categories of financial assets in IAS 39, each of which has its own classification criteria. They also result in one impairment method, replacing the numerous
impairment methods in IAS 39 that arise from the different classification categories.
IFRS (3), IAS (27), (28), and (31) - Revised:
The application of these revised standards leads to the adoption of new policies relating to the Company,s acquisition of new shares in associate and subsidiary Companies,
partial disposal of the Company,s shares in subsidiary and associate companies and an
increase in the investment in subsidiary and associate companies.

*** According to the Council of Ministers, resolution No. 58/1/1/4941 dated April 9,
2006, the additional commission on gas cylinders has been raised to fils 50 instead of
fils 25 provided that the commission proceeds are collected in an account maintained

of oil derivatives subject to international prices IPP.
**** This item includes the funds arising from pricing the gas cylinders and petroleum
derivatives price differences between total cost including taxes, fees, and transportation fees and actual selling prices and the rounding-up of fractions effective from
March 2, 2008. This is considered a Government right according to the Ministry of
Energy and Mineral Resources Letter No. 9/4/1/719 dated February 16, 2009 and
Ministry of Finance Letter No. 18/4/9952 dated April 29, 2009. Consequently, the

from December 14, 2008 according to the resolution of the Petroleum Derivatives
Pricing Committee, in its meeting held on December 13, 2008, provided that the pricing surplus be recorded as a deposit under liabilities within the consolidated financial
statements of the Company.
*****According to the Prime Ministry›s resolution No. 58/1/2444 dated February 7,
2008, the pricing mechanisms of oil derivatives, subject to international prices during
the year 2008, were made to include the municipalities fees at 6% of the ex-refinery
price excluding lube oil as per the Municipalities Law No. (14) for the year 2007 instead of one fils per liter applied during the concession period.

During the year 2008, the Company charged the above claims to the Ministry of
Finance›s account as the Company was subject to the concession agreement with the
Government during those years. Moreover, the Government was supposed to bear these
taxes according to the concession agreement, and the taxes should have been offset
against excess earnings for the period from the beginning of the year 2006 until the expiry of the concession. Additionally, the Company has submitted its income tax return
for the year 2008 and paid the tax declared thereon. However, the Income and Sales Tax
Department has reviewed the Company,s records and no final tax settlement has been
reached yet. In the opinion of the Company,s management and tax consultant, the provisions taken in the consolidated financial statements are adequate for the tax liabilities.

b. The number of gas cylinders in circulation is estimated to be (4.5) million cylinders. According to pertinent regulations, the Company will be charged with the
value of replacing damaged cylinders. As a result, the Company is building a gradual provision for the damaged cylinders to be replaced in the future. The provision

c. On July 12, 2006, and during the concession period, an accident occurred to a gas
ship tanker that resulted in legal claims being filed claiming compensations at Aqa-
100
Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company
ba Court of First Instance against the Company and the ship tanker›s captain by
the four deceased persons, heirs, the Ports Corporation, and the Jordanian Armed
Forces. On March 11, 2009, the said court issued its verdict by holding both parties
responsible, detaining the tanker, and disallowing it from traveling. The verdict
was appealed at M’ain Appellate Court, which issued its final verdict on June 1,
2009, endorsing the court of First Instance verdict, thus rendering it irrevocable.
The ship owner filed an arbitration case in London claiming USD 28 million as
compensation. Moreover, the Company presented its arguments on the unavailability of an arbitration agreement and the non-specialization, successively. Additionally, the ship owner filed a marine attachment lawsuit at South New York
Court. In its turn, the Company granted power of attorney to international legal offices in New York and London to follow up on the attachment case and arbitration
case. This resulted in the lifting off of the attachment on the Company,s funds in
New York. Consequently, the above court cancelled the previous attachment decision dated November 19, 2009. At the end of the year 2009, the arbitration case in
London was seized based on both parties, consents due to ongoing reconciliation
negotiations between the two parties.
In light of the above, and based on the legal consultants› opinion, the Company,s
management believes that no additional provisions are needed concerning this case.
There are lawsuits in courts raised against the Company claiming amounts estimated at JD 3,500,000 as of December 31, 2009. Some of the current lawsuits
originated in prior years and have been filed against both the Government and the
Company. The contingent liabilities arising from unsettled lawsuits have been estimated, and provisions have been taken in accounts payable and other credit balances. Based on the opinion of the Company,s management and its legal consultant,
no additional provisions are needed in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements concerning this matter.
d.According to the Customs Duties Law No. (20) for the year 1998, the Company’s
purchases from petroleum products have been subjected to customs duties, and its
sales, to sales tax in accordance with the General Sales Tax Law No. (6) for the year
1994 and its related amendments. As a result, the Company has raised its objection
to the related governmental parties. In accordance with the Ministry of Finance
Letter No. 18/4/2927 dated March 23, 2004, the financial relationship between the
Government and the Company entails that the Company should transfer the surplus

control is maintained over the credit limits granted to each customer separately
on a continuous basis.

33. Future Expansion Plan
The Board of Directors approved the fourth stage of expansion estimated cost of
USD 1 billion in order for the Company to continue its operation and to obtain offers from a strategic partner to finance this project. During the year 2008, two offers
have been received from two joint venturers. The offers were submitted provided
that certain privileges are obtained from the Government. However, the Government
did not agree on this matter as it contradicts the Government,s strategy to liberate the
energy sector. This led to the withdrawal of important members from the two joint
ventures. Consequently, the Company›s Board of Directors decided to inform the
two joint ventures of the termination of negotiations in order to allow other investors who expressed their willingness to enter as partners. In addition, an alternative
plan has been made to execute the project,s expansion through raising capital by the
Company itself and secure the necessary funding in case efforts to attract the strategic partner fail. On April 5, 2009, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed
with an investor interested in entering as a strategic partner with the Company for
3 months. During this period, the investor would study the Company›s status and
discuss related matters with the Government in preparation of submitting his technical and financial offer. On July 2, 2009, the Company received a financial, technical, and legal offer from the above investor within the grace period according to the
Memoradum of Understanding signed on April 5, 2009. The offer included raising
the Refinery›s refining capacity to 150,000 barrels per day. The project costs are estimated at USD 2.1 billion. Moreover, the expansion project shall be financed through
the investor,s subscriptions in the Company’s new shares and through obtaining the
necessary funding from local and international funding resources.
The offer included a set of requirments from the Government to ensure the success of
the 4th expansion project and to secure the necessary funding. Additionally, the Board
of Direcotrs decided not to accept this offer in light of the issuance of the Council of
Ministers› resolution No. 5954 dated September 1, 2009 which includes approval for
the Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company to invite the companies that have submitted
their offers and expressed their interest in strategically partnering with the Company
to execute the 4th expansion project on the basis of an exclusively ‎period of 15 years
at maximum of which 5 years are for executing the Refinery,s expansion project.
This is followed by 10 exclusive years after executing the 4th expansion project provided that this limited period is granted according to the agreement which shall be
made between the Government and the Company according to the terms and criteria
to be agreed on at that time so as to enable the Company to negotiate and attract the
interested investors accordingly. Consequenlty, the financial consultant « Citigroup»
sent expression-of- interest letters to 12 investors to confirm their interest in entering
as strategic partners. Their final replies were due on October 30, 2009. The deadline
has been extended to November 27, 2009 due to the inadequacy of the period upon
the investors, request. On December 15, 2009, the Council of Ministers resolved to
suspend implementation of resolution No. (5954) and to form a ministerial committee to study the Refinery,s measures to attract the partner and the exclusivity granting conditions. Moreover, the Ministerial Committee decided to appoint a financial

Energy concering the exclusivity agreement and related negotiations.
