About Arise Windpower

Arise Windpower AB (publ), Box 808, SE-301 18 Halmstad, Sweden, tel. +46 (0)35 20 20 900, org.no. 556274-6726 E-mail: [email protected], www.arisewindpower.se

Arise Windpower is one of Sweden's leading companies in onshore wind power. Arise Windpower's business concept is to sell electricity generated at the company's own onshore wind turbines in southern Sweden. The company is aiming to install and put into operation about 300 wind turbines with an annual output of about 2 TWh of green electricity by 2014. Arise Windpower is listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm.

The CEO's comments on Q2 2010

In the second quarter we continued to expand capacity at the company's wind farms, and we now have 102.5 MW in operation or under construction, which is in line with plan.

According to Danish wind energy figures, the energy content of the wind was relatively normal during the period (96 per cent of a normal year).

The construction projects in Idhult (8 Vestas turbines, 16 MW) and Fröslida (6 GE turbines, 15 MW) are going to plan, and the two farms are scheduled to be taken into operation in late autumn 2010. A decision has also been made to add a further 3 turbines (7.5 MW) at the Fröslida farm, which will be taken into operation at the same time as the other turbines.

Construction has begun on the Kåphult wind farm (7 GE turbines, 17.5 MW) and a long-term loan agreement has been concluded with Swedbank. The specific investment cost is about SEK 5.3 per annual kilowatt hour and the estimated pre-tax return comfortably exceeds 10 per cent.

The Swedish krona has continued to strengthen against the euro, which is positive, as a large portion of the company's investments are in euro. Another positive factor is that interest from banks to provide loan funding for wind power projects remains strong. This is partly due to the general decline in the number of wind power projects in Europe but is also explained by the proven success of the company's business model and the fact that the company is now listed.

The company's model of projectfunding individual projects as they are realised has proved advantageous, and the company has therefore chosen, for the time being, to decline an offer of a major SEK 1.5 billion credit facility. This will avoid unnecessary up-front credit expenses.

The sale of the power grid station in Knäred was recognised in the accounts during the quarter, resulting in a one-off gain of about SEK 4.7 million, which is slightly more than the previously communicated figure of SEK 3.8 million.

Wind-wise, the second quarter is seasonally weak, and this proved to be the case this year too. See the following graph, which shows the quarterly distribution of available energy in the wind (wind energy) based on Danish wind energy figures for the years 1979–2009 (www.vindstat.dk).

The best time for annual servicing of the turbines is during the less windy months when the loss of income during standstill periods is generally lowest. All operational turbines were therefore serviced during the reporting period.

The average income per megawatt hour for electricity and electricity certificates in the quarter were slightly above the market price (SEK 725/MWh compared with an average market price at NordPool of SEK 667/MWh), which was due to previous price hedges.

Access to wind turbines has been further secured through a supplementary agreement with GE, which was concluded on favourable terms and covers deliveries also in 2012.

The Swedish Armed Forces have announced certain restrictions on the construction of wind turbines in the proximity of ten named airfields. The company's wind farms which are currently in operation or under construction are not affected by the restrictions. Nor do they affect the company's short-term or long-term expansion targets.

A partnership agreement has been signed with Solid Vind under which Solid, for a limited period, will prospect for new wind turbines in Skåne.

The company's crane has been delivered and an agreement on operation and maintenance of the crane has been signed with Jinert AB, a crane operator in Hässleholm. The crane is now fully employed in lifting the company's turbines in Idhult.

Events after the reporting period: A long-term loan agreement has been signed with Nordea in respect of the Idhult wind farm and the company's crane and related equipment.

The expansion target for 2010 has now largely been achieved, and the company is therefore focusing on the planned expansion in 2011 (approx. 160 MW, which is equivalent to 65– 70 turbines) and beyond.

Our projects and operations organisation has been further strengthened and the company's financial position remains very strong, with cash assets of SEK 620 million and a further SEK 446 million in unused credit facilities, grants and committed lines of credit. The company is therefore well equipped for the planned expansion.

Comments on Q2 2010

Summary of events

All turbines, with a combined capacity of 10 MW in Råbelöv and 12.5 MW in Brunsmo, are now operational and have been handed over by the suppliers, Vestas and GE Wind.

Decisions have been made to build turbines with a capacity of a further 17.5 MW in Kåphult outside Laholm and 7.5 MW in Fröslida outside Hylte, which will increase capacity at the Fröslida farm to 22.5 MW. Both wind farms as well as 16 MW in Idhult outside Mönsterås are being built and are expected to go into operation in the second half of 2010.

The energy content of the wind in the second quarter was close to normal.

Cash flow

Arise Windpower's cash flow from operating activities was TSEK 17,363 (- 85,975) and cash flow after investing activities was TSEK -210,848 (-418,930). Long-term and current interest-bearing liabilities were reduced through repayments, TSEK -7,250 (180,000). The share offering raised a net TSEK 525,407 (-) for the Group while interest payments reduced cash flow by TSEK - 15,231 (-8,377). TSEK 13,800 (-) has been paid into frozen accounts, mainly under agreements on loan funding, resulting in a six-month cash flow of TSEK 278,278 (-247,307).

Funding and liquidity

Due to previous share offerings the Group reports an interest-bearing net asset of TSEK 26,836 compared with interest-bearing net liabilities of TSEK -308,385 for the same period the year before. The equity/assets ratio at the end of the period was 63.4 (39.2) per cent.

Cash and cash equivalents were TSEK 619,586 (161,615), in addition to which there were unused credits and grants at the end of the period of TSEK 266,000 (237,000).

Taxes

As Arise Windpower only has Swedish subsidiaries, tax has been calculated at the Swedish rate of corporate tax, 26.3 per cent.

Related-party transactions

During the period one Board Director has worked on a number of clearly specified tasks on a contract basis, receiving a market-based compensation of TSEK 882. There have been no other transactions with related parties.

Contingent liabilities

There have been no changes in the Group's contingent liabilities.

Outlook

The company's finances are strong, with cash assets of SEK 620 million as well as unused credits, grants and committed lines of credit totalling a further SEK 446 million. The company's expansion is going to plan. The target is to build 35 new turbines in 2010, including Brunsmo, which would bring the total capacity in operation or under construction at year-end to about 110 MW. The company's long-term target is to build 300 turbines by 2014, representing a total production capacity of about 700 MW.

The IPO in the spring and subsequent share offerings have raised new equity capital for the Group, which together with unused credit facilities and committed lines of credit from banks give the company ample opportunity to achieve its planned expansion until the end of 2011. Any changes in access to new equity and loan capital will need to be continuously monitored and assessed in order to secure the Group's adopted expansion plan, also after 2011.

Financial risks have also diminished compared with last year in line with the improvement in financial markets. The main focus is on monitoring fluctuations in electricity and certificate prices as well as exchange rates, especially against the euro.

Risks and uncertainties affecting the Group are described on page 16 of the company's 2009 annual report and financial risk management is presented on pages 30–33. No significant changes have taken place that affect the reported risks.

About 15 per cent (approx. 150 MW) of the above project portfolio is affected by the restrictions, which relate to the JAS 39 Gripen fighter aircraft, announced by the Swedish Armed Forces. However, the introduction of such restrictions do not affect the company's expansion plans, as the remaining projects are available for the planned expansion and the lease portfolio is continually replenished. Wind farms in operation or under construction are not affected.

Projects are categorised based on the following criteria

In operation

Wind power projects where the wind farm has been taken into production after completion of test runs and is generating electricity.

Under construction

Refers to projects where the requisite permits have been obtained, an investment decision has been made by the company's Board of Directors, equity and loan funding is available and procurements have been made representing the majority of the project's total investment cost.

Permits received/acquired

Projects that have received the permits required to start construction but where construction has not yet begun. In some cases Arise Windpower will wait until sufficient wind data is available.

Permits pending

The permit application process has been initiated. The Company is applying for permits to build the wind farm from the relevant regional and local authorities. If the transmission network is to be built by Arise Elnät the company will also apply for a concession to operate the network from the Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate. This stage is concluded when all requisite permits have been obtained or if a permit application has been rejected.

Project planning completed

After signing land lease agreements Arise Windpower begins project planning work on the site's precise wind power characteristics. The area is carefully analysed and the exact coordinates of the planned turbines are determined.

The initial wind studies are based on theoretical maps but at a later stage actual wind measurements are made using the company's wind measuring equipment.

Leases signed

Land lease agreements have been signed after negotiations between landowners and Arise Windpower. Long-term land leases have been concluded for the entire project portfolio, giving the company the right, but not an obligation, to build wind turbines on the leased properties. For most of the projects, project planning has been initiated but has not yet been completed. The feasibility studies performed by the company before a lease is signed result in a preliminary specification of the siting of the new wind turbines.

Parent company

In 2010 the parent company continued to build up the Group, performed most of the project planning for suitable wind locations, concluded leases, produced impact assessments and detailed development plans, obtained building permits, procured products and services, handled the Group's power and certificate trading activities, and performed central services in the Group.

The parent company handles the Group's production plans and electricity hedges in accordance with the adopted financial policy. The electricity-producing subsidiaries (the Arise Wind Farm companies) sell all generated electricity to the parent company at contracted prices. The parent company then sells the electricity to customers based on bilateral agreements or in the spot market, and the net result of the trades is recognised in net sales.

The gross result in the parent company, which also comprises expenses billed within the Group, including work performed by the company for its own use and capitalised and other income, was TSEK 12,255 (8,489) in the first six months. The net result after tax was TSEK -2,818 (-859). The parent company has paid advances for some investments on behalf of subsidiaries. Net investments in the first six months of 2010 were TSEK -81,498 (-14,926).

Ownership structure

The company's ownership structure is presented on the company's website (www.arisewindpower.se).

AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT

We have reviewed the interim report of Arise Windpower AB (publ) for the six-month period 1 January to 30 June 2010. Responsibility for preparing and presenting this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act rests with the Board of Directors and CEO. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

We have conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SÖG) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review involves asking questions, primarily to individuals with responsibility for financial and accounting issues, making analyses and performing other review measures. A review has a different focus and a significantly narrower scope than a full audit conducted in accordance with the Auditing Standard in Sweden (RS) and generally accepted auditing standards. The procedures employed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance which would make us aware of all significant circumstances that would have been identified in an audit. The conclusion based on a review therefore does not have the same certainty as a conclusion based on an audit.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that would give us reason to believe that the interim financial information has not, in all material respects, been prepared, as regards the Group, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and, as regards the parent company, in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
