MYTRAH ENERGY - REVENUES AND EBITDA BLOWN HIGHER THROUGH SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT
OF INDIAN WIND FARMS - OPERATIONAL CAPACITY OF 524.85 MW



NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA OR JAPAN 24 September 2014 Mytrah Energy Limited ("Mytrah Energy" or the "Company") Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2014 Financial Highlights for the period: * Revenue of USD 29.4 million, an increase of 7.4% over the comparative period (1H 2013: USD 27.4 million) * Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA") for the period amounted to USD 28.01 million, an increase of 11.6% over the comparative period (1H 2013: USD 25.12 million) * An EBITDA margin of approximately 95.2%1 (1H 2013: 91.6%2) * Profit before tax (PBT) of USD 5.91 million, an increase of 12.8% over the previous period (1H 2013: PBT of USD 5.21 million) * Achieved 7.4% increase in revenue, 11.3% increase in EBITDA and 12.8% increase in PBT, excluding exceptional1 items, despite depreciation in the average Indian Rupee/USD exchange rate by 10.4% from 54.9 to 60.6 from June 2013 to June 2014 * Tax expense of USD 0.54 million (1H 2013: USD 0.79 million).

The tax expense is primarily non-cash in nature and represents a net deferred tax liability on timing differences net of earlier year tax provision written back on completion of tax assessment * In Indian Rupee terms revenue increased by 18.6%, EBITDA by 23.3%, and PBT by 24.6%.

This is in line with increase in weighted average operating capacity * Adequate liquidity position comprising of USD 16.5 million cash equivalents and liquid investments and undrawn loan facilities of USD 20 million to fund the current under construction pipeline * USD 24.6 million invested in new capacity additions Current Operational Highlights: * 524.85 MW (including 8.35 MW capacity under stabilisation) of revenue generating wind assets and 23.25 MW under final stages of construction * Assets have performed well at the start of the 2014 wind season despite some press reports suggesting a late and weak monsoon due to an El Nino effect.

Plant Load Factors (PLFs) were slightly below average during May, but above average during June, July and August * Strong receivable position with no significant payment delays * Post period end, secured in principal approval of USD 142 million senior loans for projects under active development
1Excluding one-off doubtful advances and LD claims write-off of USD 2.1 million (30 June 2013: USD nil) and non-cash cost relating to employee stock options of USD 0.51 million (30 June 2013: USD 0.58 million) (note 25). 2Adjusted for one-off costs of USD 0.63 million incurred during the previous year, relating to un-eliminated indirect tax cost on eliminated intra-group transactions. Ravi Kailas, Chairman and CEO said: "From a standing start three years ago, Mytrah has grown to be one of the largest wind independent power producers ("IPPs") in India.

The first half has been a strong period of asset growth for the Company with operational capacity increased significantly to 497.35 MW at 30 June 2014 and additional capacity of 27.5 MW was added post interim period end.

This takes our total operational portfolio over the landmark of 500 MW to a total capacity of 524.85 MW (including 8.35 MW capacity under stabilisation) and has been achieved within a span of less than three years of operations.

This additional generating capacity represents a 70% increase since 30 June 2013, when the operating capacities stood at 309 MW.

These assets have been installed with one of the lowest capital costs in the industry and have performed above our initial expectations. "The beginning of the wind season this year started slowly with capacity factors in May being below average.

However since then we have seen a pick up in the utilisation rates across the portfolio, particularly during July and August, and we at this point in time we expect this years total PLF to be in line with our expectations.

As we have mentioned previously, the benefits of a large and diversified portfolio are significant and provide very visible long-term revenue that is highly predictable on a year by year basis. "The stabilised sites are performing well ahead of our initial expectations, in some cases exceeding P50 estimates, with machine and grid availability in excess of 97%.

Mytrahs new assets at Burgula in Andhra Pradesh (37.4 MW), Savalsang 1 in Karnataka (87.55 MW) and Vagarai in Tamil Nadu (90 MW) are expected to be amongst the Groups strongest performing assets and are all performing well during and after their stabilisation periods. "The interim figures reflect the slower start to the wind season this year but as we have seen an increase in the capacity factors since the period end, we would expect that the annual performance will be in line with our expectations. "In an environment of ever increasing demand for power in India, the attraction of developing, owning and operating a diversified portfolio of wind assets puts Mytrah in a strong position for profitable and sustained growth.

We believe that Mytrahs continued access to financing in India, from established relationships with major lenders in public and private sectors and our access to land facilities, enables us to take greater control over our roll-out schedule.

Our diversified range of strong partnerships with domestic and overseas wind turbine manufacturers, our ability to build assets at a competitive cost whilst managing development risk, and the quality of our management and teams, will enable the Group to continue to grow rapidly and generate significant value for our shareholders."

Operational and Development Review Projects in operation: Our operational portfolio comprises 524.85 MW (including 8.35 MW capacity under stabilisation) of installed capacity.

Within the portfolio the stabilised sites are performing well ahead of our initial expectations, in some cases exceeding P50 estimates, with machine and grid availability in excess of 97%.

The machine availability at Jamanwada, Gujarat and Kaladongar, Rajasthan sites has improved from 90% during last year to 97% for the current wind season.

This productivity will add a further positive impact on the overall revenue and financial performance of the portfolio. Projects in construction and development Mytrah has added 238.2 MW of new capacity, across three sites, since 30 June 2013.

Of this, 214.95 MW of assets are commissioned and started generating revenues.

The remaining 23.25 MW assets are under final stages of construction and expected to be commissioned by the end of October 2014. Burgula Wind Farm (37.4 MW) in Andhra Pradesh, Mytrahs first project under self-construction model, was commissioned during December 2013 and fully stabilised in March 2014.

Burgula is the only project to be accorded evacuation on a 132 KV substation of AP Transco.

During the interim period the assets have performed better than P75 estimates. Savalsang 1 Wind Farm (100.3 MW) in Karnataka is Mytrahs second major wind project.

As on date 87.55MW was commissioned with Gamesa 0.85 MW G-58 turbines.

The balance capacity of 12.75MW is under advance stage of construction and is expected to be commissioned by the end of October 2014.

We have demonstrated strong execution capability in self-development model by successfully building 62 KM of 33 KV OH transmission infrastructure facilities in Savalsang and laid 20,144 cubic meters of cement concrete for structural erection in Savalsang. Vagarai Wind Farm (100.5 MW) is Mytrahs first project operating under the Group captive model and is selling power directly to captive customers in Tamilnadu via attractive power purchase agreements ("PPAs") in the range of 10 to 15 years.

It uses the well-proven Vensys V87 1.5 MW gearless turbine made by ReGen, which should in an average year deliver a 28% capacity factor.

As on date we have commissioned 90 MW and the remaining 10.5 MW is expected to be commissioned by end of September 2014. Following the completion of these projects, Mytrahs total installed capacity will increase to 548.1 MW across ten projects in six states.

From a standing start three years ago, Mytrah has grown to be one of the largest wind independent power producers ("IPPs") in India.

These assets have been installed with one of the lowest capital costs in the industry and have performed above our initial expectations. The decision to spread our portfolio across ten different sites averaging 50-75 MW rather than two or three larger projects means that we benefit from a substantial portfolio effect across our asset base.

As a result, any variation in wind patterns across India and our sites year to year is spread across the portfolio, giving increased visibility on our revenue streams.

In addition, construction and operational risks for future development are significantly reduced as we have the ability to expand most of our existing sites, where infrastructure and grid connections are already in place.

We have also built up significant actual operational wind data that allows for increased confidence in our forecasting. With all this in place, I am pleased to announce further capacity of over 300 mw, out of which orders have been placed for 200 mw.

The details of these projects are as follows: Vajrakarur 2 Wind Farm (105 MW) in Andhra Pradesh is under active development and purchase orders are issued to Suzlon on a turnkey basis.

The Group is in the advance stage of discussion with the lenders to tie up the project finance.

The project is expected to be commissioned in about one year from the financial closure.

The wind resource assessment has been conducted and the PLF at P50 level has been estimated at 29.

0%. Viswa Wind Farm (50.4 MW) in Rajasthan is under active development.

The evacuation approval along with necessary infrastructure is in place.

The Group is in discussions with the lenders to finalise the terms of project finance.

The project is expected to be commissioned in about one year from the financial closure.

The wind resource assessment has been conducted and the PLF at P50 level has been estimated at 31.0%. Viraj Wind Farm (50.4 MW) in Maharashtra is under active development.

The project will be developed using S97 WTGs of Suzlon make with a capacity of 2.1MW.

The wind resource assessment has been conducted and the PLF at P50 level has been estimated at 27.6%. Anila Wind Farm (101.4 MW) in Telangana is under active development.

Terms of turbine supply are currently under progress with the suppliers.

Project expected to be commissioned in about one year from the financial closure. Business Development With a significant portion of the current portfolio having secured long term state PPAs, the Company is now working towards increasing the proportion of highly attractive open market contracts for new projects.

We are working towards optimising revenue with a mix of open market tariffs and state PPAs, which should improve returns and improve diversification. As at interim reporting date, we have a strong development pipeline of 3,100 MW across 6 states.

We are the first to get land GO (Government Order) under new land policy in Andhra Pradesh.

As always, we remain highly selective but expect to take forward only attractive opportunities.

We own a significantly large fleet of around 150 wind masts and our wind development team is actively working on the upcoming projects having cleared the micrositing of 3,580 MW across 6 states. Financial Results The Groups revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2014 was USD 29.4 million (2013: USD 27.4 million) despite a fall in the average exchange rate between the Indian rupee and US dollar from 54.9 to 60.6 from June 2013 to June 2014.

These revenues were generated from our portfolio of commissioned projects in the states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. I am pleased to report that the Group has recorded a gross profit of USD 24.6 million during the period (2013: USD 23.2 million) and an EBITDA of USD 28.03 million (2013: USD 25.14 million) representing an increase of USD 1.4 million and USD 2.9 million respectively. At a consolidated level the Group recorded a net profit before tax of USD 5.93 million (2013: USD 5.23 million).

The tax expense for the period ended 30 June 2014 was USD 0.54 million (30 June 2013: USD 0.79 million).

The tax expense primarily represents the net deferred tax liability on timing differences accounted for during the period net of tax provision written back relating to earlier years based on completed tax assessment. A significant advantage of the geographical spread of our assets across different states has resulted in efficient receivable management.

As at 30 June 2014, the Groups receivables from sale of power and generation based incentive ("GBI") were USD 13.99 million representing an average 63 days receivable cycle on an annualised revenue receipt.

Below is the aging summary of the Groups receivables. Not due 0 - 60 days 61 -90 days more than 90 days Total USD 5.93 million USD 2.41 million USD 2.44 million USD 3.21 million USD 13.99 million
It can be noted that USD 5.93 million (42%) is not due representing primarily current month revenues for a monthly billing cycle, 17.3% is under 60 days, 17.5% is under 90 days and the remaining 3.21 million (23%) under 365 days.

Amounts due for more than 90 days primarily comprise of receivables of USD 3.04 million from IREDA which is paid on semi-annual basis.

This performance by our Group is notable given the general perception of delays in this sector. The cash generated by operations during the period was USD 12.6 million (2013: USD 7.7 million).

As of 30 June 2014, the Group was in a strong liquidity position having (1) USD 16.5 million (31 December 2013: USD 32.6 million) in cash equivalents and liquid investments, and (2) USD 20.0 million in undrawn long-term loan facilities.

The dollar strengthening had no cash and economic impact on the Company as all of its contracts are in Indian rupees.
Going concern The Directors have considered the net current liabilities of USD 48.5 million of the Group at 30 June 2014, the Groups cash position and forecast cash flows for 18 months period from the date of these consolidated interim financial statements.

The Directors also continue to monitor the cash flows from time to time including the short term and long term liquidity position.

At the balance sheet date, the Company has unused long-term credit facilities to offset the short-term loans taken.

The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue its operational existence for a foreseeable future and thus adopt going concern basis of accounting in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Summary The first-half of 2014 has seen Mytrah consolidate its position as a leading IPP with operating capacity crossing the landmark 500MW.

I believe that our continued development has the potential to transform the Group by generating significant shareholder value and enabling greater visibility of our asset roll-out plans during the next two years.

Through our access to finance, the quality of our people and third party partnerships as well as our commitment to building high quality assets at a competitive cost, we will continue to be a utility scale IPP with a sustainable long-term development pipeline, and generate strong and predictable cash flows.

Adoption of new and revised standards and interpretations
The Company has adopted the following new standards and amendments, including any consequential amendments to other standards with date of initial application of 1 January 2014: Standard or interpretation Effective for reporting periods starting on or after IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 IAS 28 IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as amended in 2011) Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 IFRIC 21 Levies Annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2014 IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation- offsetting financials assets and financial liabilities (amendments to IAS 32) Annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2014 IAS 36 Impairment of Assets (Amendments to IAS 36) Annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2014
Based on the Companys current business model and accounting policies the adoption of these standards or interpretations did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group. Standard issued but yet effective and early adopted by the company: IFRS 9- Financial instruments In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9, "Financial instruments".

With this issuance, IFRS 9 is complete in all respects.

IFRS 9 significantly differs from IAS 39, "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement", and includes a logical model for classification and measurement, a single, forward-looking expected loss impairment model and a substantially-reformed approach to hedge accounting.

IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early application permitted.

The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements. IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers".

The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Further, the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entitys contracts with customers.

The new revenue recognition standard is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.
3 Significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group have been presented for the six months ended 30 June 2014 in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as adopted by the European Union.

A copy of the Groups audited statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2013 can be obtained from the Companys website or writing to the Company Secretary.

The independent auditors report on those accounts was unqualified and did not include a reference to any matters which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and did not contain a statement under 263 (3) of the Companies (Guernsey) Law 2008.
