RISK FACTORS
Changes in tax benefits and incentives and other applicable regulations, including various tax laws; The Companys ability to retain its management team and skilled personnel; Changes in laws and regulations that apply to NBFCs in India, including laws that impact its lending rates and its ability to enforce its collateral; and Changes in political conditions in India.
(These are only illustrative and not exhaustive) By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual future gains or losses could materially differ from those that have been estimated. Neither the Company nor any of its Directors nor any of their respective affiliates have any obligation, or intent to update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition.
publications prepared by providers of industry information, Government sources and multilateral institutions. Such publications generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable but that their accuracy and completeness are not guaranteed and their reliability cannot be assured. Although the Issuer believes that industry data used in this Information Memorandum is reliable, it has not been independently verified.
with the same. The Company believes that its overall financial profile, capitalization levels and risk management systems, provide significant risk mitigation.
(g) A ailment of foreign currency borrowings in the future, which will expose Company to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
While PFS currently do not have any foreign currency borrowings, it may avail foreign currency borrowings in the future. As an IFC, PFS is eligible to raise external commercial borrowings without prior RBI approval up to 50.00% of its Owned Funds and are likely to avail significant external commercial borrowings in the future. In October 2010, the Company has also entered into a loan agreement with Deutsche Infestations - und Entwicklungsgesellschaft me H ("DEG") for an aggregate amount of U.S. $26 million for onlending to renewable energy projects and therefore may be exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates in the future. Although PFS may enter into hedging transactions with respect to its foreign currency borrowings, there can be no assurance that any such measure will be effective or that PFS will enter into effective hedging with respect to any new foreign currency borrowings. Volatility in currency exchange rates could adversely affect Companys business, financial condition and results of operations and the price of its Equity Shares.
(h) Failure to recover the expected value of collateral when borrowers default on their obligations to Company may adversely affect its financial performance.
As of September 30, 2010, all loans were secured by project assets. For debt provided on a senior basis, PFS generally seek a first ranking pair passu charge on the project assets. For loans provided on a subordinated basis, PFS generally seek to have a pari passu charge on the project assets. Although we seek to maintain a collateral value to loan ratio of at least 1.25:1 for our secured loans, an economic downturn or other project risks could result in a fall in collateral values. Moreover, foreclosure of such collateral may require court or tribunal intervention that may involve protracted proceedings and the process of enforcing security interests against collateral can be difficult. Additionally, the realizable value of all collateral in liquidation may be lower than its book value. PFS cannot guarantee that it will be able to realize the full value of its collateral, due to, among other things, defects in the perfection of collateral, delays on its part in taking immediate action in bankruptcy foreclosure proceedings, stock market downturns, claims of other lenders, legal or judicial restraint and fraudulent transfers by borrowers. In the event a specialized regulatory agency gains
jurisdiction over the borrower, creditor actions can be further delayed. In addition, to put in place an institutional mechanism for the timely and transparent restructuring of corporate debt, the RBI has devised a corporate debt restructuring system. Any failure to recover the expected value of collateral security could expose PFS to a potential loss. Apart from the RBI guidelines, PFS may be a part of a syndicate of lenders the majority of whom elect to pursue a different course of action than the Company would have chosen. Any such unexpected loss could adversely affect business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
(b) Risk of competition in lending and resource raising could cause the Companys business to suffer Management Perception: PFS offers a financial products and services, such as Term Loans and Bridge Loans, catering to varied cross section of customers. The management believes that the Companys brand equity, reach and strategic alliances along with its resource base would provide the necessary strength to perform well in a competitive market. (c) A slowdown in economic growth in India could cause the Companys business to suffer
Management Perception: The Companys performance and the quality and growth of its assets are necessarily dependent on the health of the overall Indian economy. A slowdown in the Indian economy could adversely affect its business, including its ability to grow its asset portfolio, the quality of its assets, and its ability to implement its strategy. Indias economy could be adversely affected by a general rise in interest rates, or various other factors affecting the growth of industrial, manufacturing and services sector or general down trend in the economy.

COMPANY PROFILE
PTC India Financial Services Limited (PFS) is an Indian non-banking financial institution promoted by PTC India Limited (PTC") to make principal investments in, and provide financing solutions for companies with projects across the energy value chain, which interalia includes investing in equity and/or extending debt to power projects in generation, transmission, distribution; fuel sources, fuel related infrastructure like gas pipelines, LNG terminals, ports, equipment manufacturers and EPC contractors etc. PFS is regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as a systemically important non-deposit taking, non-banking financial company ("NBFC"), and have recently been classified by the RBI as an Infrastructure Finance Company, or IFC. PFS also believes that it is one of few NBFCs that have been granted this status. The IFC status enhances PFSs ability to raise funds on a costcompetitive basis and enables Company to assume higher debt exposure in infrastructure projects. PFS is a one stop solution provider offering a comprehensive range of financial products and services that add value throughout the life cycle of projects across all areas of the energy value chain. PFS believes this has enabled it to establish itself as a preferred financing provider for power projects. PFS believes its power sector knowledge and experience enables it to identify investment opportunities with high potential and effectively manage risks associated with such opportunities. PFS also believes its exclusive focus on the power sector has enabled it to develop strong relationships and become a preferred financing provider for power projects, particularly for smaller and medium sized projects, compared to competitors that are not similarly focused on the power sector. The investment decision by PFS into the equity and/or debt is based on many factors such as the valuation offered by the power projects, commitment shown by the developers and overall techno-economic viability. The investment made by PFS adds to the valuation of the project (investee company) by bringing the core competency of its promoter i.e. PTC in off-take and marketing of power, side by side the brand value of Goldman Sachs and Macquarie, which assists in tying up the balance funding requirements for the project.

Investment in India has, remained relatively stable despite the global slowdown and has been growing at a rate higher than that of GDP. There has been upward trend in the growth of the private investment. The recovery was broad based with mining and quarrying, manufacturing, and electricity, gas and water supply recording impressive growth rates. (Source: Ministry of Finance: Economic Survey, 2009-10) Indias ability to recover from the global slowdown and its own domestic liquidity crunch has been driven by the countrys large domestic savings (including corporate retained earnings) and private consumption. Further, the GoIs fiscal policies and the monetary policies of the Reserve Bank of India have also played an important role in the revival of economic growth. In particular, the GoI as part of its fiscal stimulus package took the following initiatives to promote consumption in the economy: (i) increased GoI expenditure especially on infrastructure; and (ii) reduced taxes to spur consumption.
The RBI has also taken various other steps to stimulate the economy including by (a) reducing the cash reserve ratio (CRR) to 6.00%; (b) maintaining the statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) at 25.00%; (c) reducing the repo rate to 6.25%; and (d) reducing the reverse repo rate to 5.35%. (Source: RBI) A strong recovery in the industrial sector combined with a resilient services sector muted the impact of a deficient South-West monsoon on overall output. The contribution of the industrial sector to the overall growth increased sharply from 9.5% in 2008-2009 to 28.0% in 2009-2010. (Source: RBI, 2009-2010 Annual Report).

The shortages in energy and peak power have been primarily due to the sluggish progress in capacity addition. During the 10th Five Year Plan (fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2007), capacity addition achieved compared to target capacity addition was 51.5%. During the 11th Five Year Plan (fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2012), capacity addition achieved was 9,263 MW or 56.7% of target capacity addition of 16,335 MW in fiscal 2008, while in fiscal 2009, capacity addition achieved was 3,454 MW, or 31.2% of target capacity addition of 11,061 MW, while in fiscal 2010, capacity addition achieved was 9,585 MW, or 66.1% of target capacity addition of 14,507 MW. According to the Monthly Review (October 2010), the total installed power generation capacity in India was 167278.36 MW as of August 31, 2010.
Power Consumption
The per capita consumption of power in India has grown from 566.7 kWh/year in fiscal 2003 to 733.5 kWh/year in fiscal 2009, at a CAGR of 4.39% (Source: Monthly Review (July 2010)). The following table sets forth information relating to India's per capital consumption of power for the periods indicated: Year Per Capita Consumption (kWh) 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 566.7 592.0 612.5 613.5 671.9 717.1 733.5
The total energy consumption in India is estimated to grow from 566 Mtoe in 2006 to 1280 Mtoe in 2030. (Source: World Economic Outlook 2008, IEA). This implies growth at a CAGR of 3.5% CAGR in India's energy requirement over the next 25-30 years and hence, there is a huge potential for investments in the energy sector in India.

The GoI has set a goal of 1,000 kWh per capita by fiscal 2012 in its mission of Power for All by 2012 under the National Electricity Policy.
According to the CIA Fact book, India is sixth largest consumer of electricity in the world after the United States, China, European Union, Russia and Japan with an estimated 568 billion kWh in total electricity generated plus imports and minus exports in 2007.
The deficits in electric energy and peak power requirements vary across different regions in India. The peak deficit was 17.2% in the Western Region, followed by 18.5% in the North Eastern Region in the period from April to October 2010. The deficit is a result of the slow development progress of additional power generation capacity in those areas. The following table outlines the peak and normative power shortages in India in fiscal year 2010 across the regions of India:
Demand Projections
According to the Integrated Energy Policy (IEP) report dated August 2006 issued by the Planning Commission, India would require additional capacity of about 220-233 gigawatt (GW) by 2012, 306-337 GW by 2017 and 425-488 GW by 2022, respectively, based on normative parameters in order to maintain a 8-9% GDP growth rate (Source: GoI, "Integrated Energy Policy, Report of the Expert Committee", August 2006, available at http://planningcommission.gov.in/reports/genrep/rep_intengy.pdf).
The table below lays out the additional capacity needed by 2012, 2017 and 2022 under different GDP growth rate scenarios:
Assume d GDP Growth (%) By fiscal 2012 By fiscal 2017 By fiscal 8.0 9.0 8.0 9.0 8.0
Power Generation
Historical Capacity Additions The energy deficit in India is a result of insufficient progress in the development of additional energy capacity. The Indian economy is based on planning through successive five year plans (Five-Year Plans) that set out targets for economic development in various sectors, including the power sector. In the last three Five-Year Plans (the Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Five-Year Plans, covering fiscal years 1992 to 2007), less than 55% of the targeted additional energy capacity level was added. According to the White Paper on Strategy for Eleventh Plan, prepared by CEA and Confederation of Indian Industry, August 2007 (the White Paper)),India added an average of approximately 20,000 MW to its energy capacity in each of the 9th and 10th Five-Year Plan periods (fiscal years 1997 to 2002 and 2002 to 2007).
The following table sets forth the targeted energy capacity addition, the installed capacity actually achieved at the end of those fiscal year and the installed capacity actually achieved as a percentage of the targeted capacity additions for each of those fiscal years:
The total capacity addition during the past 25 years between the 6th and the 10th Five-Year Plans was approximately 91,000 MW. A total capacity addition of 78,700 MW is planned for the 11th Five-Year Plan which should result in significant investments in the power generation sector.
Thermal
Nuclear
The private sector has historically been hesitant to enter into the market for power plants because of onerous governmental regulations on the construction and operation of power plants and sourcing of Fuel for such plants. The participation of the private sector has, however, been increasing over time, Thanks to some key power sector reforms.
This represents a growth in capacity of 9.8% per annum during the 11th Plan period. According to the White Paper, the total fund requirement has been assessed to ` 10.32 trillion.
Planned Expansion
The aim for the 11th Plan i.e. by 2012 is a capacity addition of 15,000 MW from renewable. By the end of the 11th Plan, renewable power capacity could be 25,000 MW in a total capacity of 2, 00,000 MW accounting for 12.5% and contributing around 5% to the electricity mix. A capacity addition of around 30,000MW is envisaged for the 12th and 13th Plans. Renewable power capacity by the end of the 13th plan period i.e. by 2022 is likely to reach 54,000 MW, comprising 40,000 MW wind power, 6,500 MW small hydro power and 7,500 MW bio-power, which would correspond to a share of 5% in the then electricity-mix. (Source: 11th Five Year Plan MNRE)
Investments in generation
The total fund requirement for generation projects, during the Twelfth Plan period is estimated at approximately ` 4,950,830 million, with approximately ` 1,266,490 million being required for the hydro sector, approximately ` 3,306,680 million is being required for the thermal sector and approximately ` 377,660 million is being required for the nuclear sector. (Source: Base Paper, International Conclave on Key Inputs for Accelerated Development of Indian Power Sector for Twelfth Plan and Beyond, 18-19 August 2009, Mop and CEA)
Capacity Utilisation
Capacity utilization in the Indian power sector is measured by the plant load factor (PLF) of generating plants.
Coal
The average PLF for coal-fired plants in India has increased from 69.0% in the fiscal year 2001 to 76.65% in the fiscal year 2010. The following table sets forth the average PLF for coal-fired plants in India: PLF varies significantly across ownership segments. According to the Mop, 2008-2010 Annual Report, coal-fired generating plants owned by the state electricity boards (SEBs) operated at an average PLF of around 69.72% as of January 31, 2010, while those owned by private companies operated at an average PLF of 84.43%. The average PLF of central public sector undertakings (CPSUs) was 84.13% during the same period.
Renewable Power
Power from renewable energy sources such as wind, biomass, small hydro and solar energy is being generated for meeting the electricity requirements in different locations across the country. 15,691 MW grid power from renewable sources of power has been installed up to December 31, 2009. In addition, renewable energy sources are being utilised for off-grid power generation to meet electricity requirements at decentralised locations. Renewable power projects based on wind power, biomass, and small hydro and solar are mainly private investment driven with favorable tariff policy regimes established by State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERC), and almost all-renewable power capacity addition during the year has come through this route. (Source: Annual Report 2009-10 MNRE)
Wind Power
Wind energy, today, has emerged as the most promising renewable energy technology for generating grid connected power amongst various renewable energy sources. A total capacity of 10,925 MW has been established up to December, 2009 in the country. India is now the fifth largest wind power producer in the world, after USA, Germany, Spain and China. The on shore wind power potential has been estimated at about 48,500 MW, assuming 1% land availability in potential areas for setting up wind farms @12 ha/MW in sites having wind power density greater than 200 W/sq.m at 50 m height. (Source: Annual Report 2009-10 MNRE)
Biomass
The current potential for power generation from surplus agro and forestry residues is estimated at 16,000 MW. With progressive higher steam parameters and efficient project configuration in new sugar mills and modernization of existing ones, the potential of surplus power generation through bagasse cogeneration in sugar mills is estimated at 5000 MW. Thus the total estimated biomass power potential is approximately 21,000 MW. Between April and December 2009, biomass power and bagasse cogeneration capacity addition of 384 MW (125 MW biomass projects and 259 MW bagasse cogeneration) has been achieved in the States of Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal against a target of 400 MW. Current trends indicate that it is likely that a total capacity of 450 MW would be added during fiscal 2009. The cumulative biomass power
and cogeneration based power capacity has reached approximately 2,136 MW which comprises of 829 MW of biomass power projects and 1307 MW of bagasse cogeneration projects. (Source: Annual Report 2009-10 MNRE)
Power Trading
Historically the main suppliers and consumers of bulk power in India have been the various government controlled generation and distribution companies who usually contracted power on a long-term basis through power purchase agreements (PPAs) with regulated tariffs. However, in order to encourage the entry of merchant power plants and private sector investment in the power sector, the Electricity Act recognized power trading as a separate activity from generation and has facilitated the development of a trading market for electricity in India by allowing for open access to transmission networks for normative charges. Power trading involves the exchange of power from suppliers with surplus to those with deficit. Seasonal diversity in generation and demand, as well as the concentration of power generation facilities in the resources rich eastern region of India, have created significant opportunities for the trading of power. Recent regulatory developments include the announcement of rules and provisions for open access and licensing related to interstate trading in electricity. Several entities have started trading operations or made application for trading licenses. With the help of the reforms, the volume of power traded as well as its traded price has increased rapidly over the last few years.
Tariffs
The main objectives of the National Tariff Policy (NTP) notified by the GOI on January 6, 2006, include promoting competition, efficiency in operations and improvements in the quality of power supply and ensuring the accessibility of electricity to consumers at reasonable and market-competitive rates. The NTP reiterates the importance of implementing competition in different segments of the electricity industry as highlighted in the Electricity Act and that competition will lead to significant benefits to consumers through reduction in capital costs and improved efficiency of operations. It will also facilitate the shaping of price through competition. The NTP stipulates that all future power requirements should be procured competitively by distribution licensees except in cases of expansion of pre-existing projects or where there is a state controlled or state-owned developer involved, in which case, regulators must resort to tariffs set by reference to standards of the CERC, provided that expansion of generating capacity by private developers for this purpose will be restricted to a one time addition of not more than 50% of the existing capacity. Under the NTP, even for public sector projects, tariffs for all new generation and transmission projects will be decided on the basis of competitive bidding after a certain time period.
dependence on captive power has been rising, due to the continuing shortage of power and India's sustained economic growth. The Electricity Act 2003 provided further incentives to captive power generation companies to grow by making them exempt from licensing requirements. This has resulted in an increase in captive power capacity. Reliability of power supply and better economics are other variables pushing industries to develop captive generation plants.
The primary providers of power sector financing in India are power sector specific government companies, financing institutions, public sector banks and other public sector institutions, multilateral development institutions and private banks.
Governments to initiate reform and restructuring of their power sector in order to make them commercially viable and in this regard, is providing financial assistance to reform-minded States under relaxed lending criteria/exposure limit norms. It is also providing funds based services like Term Loans, Equipment Leasing, Bill Discounting, Buyers Line of Credit and also non funds based services like Guarantee Services and Consultancy Services.
Financial Institutions
Financial institutions were established to provide medium-term and long-term financial assistance to various industries for setting up new projects and for the expansion and modernization of existing facilities. These institutions provide fund based and non-fund based assistance in the form of loans, underwriting, direct subscription to shares, Bonds and guarantees. The primary long-term lending institutions include IDFC Limited, IIFCL Limited, IFCI Limited, and Industrial Investment Bank of India Limited and Small Industries Development Bank of India.
million;
IFCs enjoy benefits including a lower risk weight on their bank borrowings (from a flat 100.0% to as low as 20.0% for AAA-rated borrowers), higher permissible bank borrowing (up to 20.0% of the banks net worth as against 15%. for an NBFC that is not an IFC), access to external commercial borrowings (up to 50.0% of owned funds on an automatic basis) and relaxation in their single party and group exposure norms. IFCs are also eligible for issuance of infrastructure bonds. These benefits should enable a highly rated IFC to raise more funds, of longer tenors and at lower costs, and in turn lend more to infrastructure companies.
efficiency. The primary international development financial institutions involved in power sector lending in India include several international banking institutions such as Japan Bank for International Cooperation, Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the International Finance Corporation. In the early 1990s, the World Bank decided to finance mainly projects in states that demonstrate a commitment to implement a comprehensive reform of their power sector, privatize distribution, and facilitate private participation in generation and environment reforms. Recent loans from the World Bank have gone to support the restructuring of SEBs. In general, the loans are for rehabilitation and capacity increase of the transmission and distribution systems, and for improvements in metering the power systems in states that have agreed to reform their power sector. The overall strategy of the Asian Development Bank for the power sector is to support restructuring, especially the promotion of competition and private sector participation. Like the World Bank, the ADB also provides loans for restructuring the power sector in the states and improving transmission and distribution.
