KENON HOLDINGS LTD. (Incorporated in the Republic of Singapore) (Company Registration No. 201406588W)
PROXY STATEMENT for the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of KENON HOLDINGS LTD.
To Be Held on June 22, 2017 10 a.m. (Singapore time) at One Marina Boulevard #30-00, the Boardroom, Singapore 018989
We are furnishing this Proxy Statement, dated as of June 2, 2017, in connection with the solicitation by our Board of Directors (the "Board") of proxies to be voted at the Annual General Meeting of our shareholders, to be held on June 22, 2017 (the "AGM"), or at any adjournments thereof, for the purposes of voting on the proposals to be considered at the AGM (the "Proposals"), as set forth in the Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, dated as of June 2, 2017, accompanying this Proxy Statement (the "AGM Notice"). Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Proxy Statement to "the Company", "Kenon", "we", "us", "our" and similar terms, shall mean Kenon Holdings Ltd., together with our subsidiaries and associated companies.
This Proxy Statement and the AGM Notice are each being published for the benefit of all holders of Kenon's ordinary shares, no par value ("Kenon Shares") ("Kenon Shareholders"), are being posted on Kenon's website, will be furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on a Report on Form 6-K, and will also be filed with the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the "TASE") on an Immediate Report. If you are a beneficial shareholder holding Kenon Shares other than in registered form as a "shareholder of record", that is, if you hold Kenon Shares in "street name" as, or through, a participant in the Depositary Trust Company (the "DTC") (which includes those Kenon Shareholders that hold Kenon Shares through the TASE), Kenon has fixed the close of business (EST) on June 2, 2017, (the "Record Date") as the record date for determining whether you are entitled to receive printed copies of this Proxy Statement and the AGM Notice.
This Proxy Statement and the AGM Notice will be mailed to beneficial shareholders as of the Record Date, on or about June 6, 2017, and to shareholders of record (members) on June 2, 2017. Kenon will bear the cost of the preparation and mailing of these proxy materials and the solicitation of the proxies and will, upon request, reimburse banks, brokerage houses, other institutions, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses in forwarding these solicitation materials to Kenon Shareholders.
Representation of not less than 33 1/3 per cent. of the total number of issued and fully paid Kenon Shares as at the date of the AGM, in person or by proxy, is required to constitute a quorum. Accordingly, it is important that your shares be represented at the AGM.
The affirmative vote by a show of hands of at least a majority of the Kenon Shareholders present and voting, or, if a poll is demanded by the chairman of the AGM (the "Chairman of the AGM") or, amongst other circumstances set forth in Article 63 of our Constitution, by holders of at least 5 per cent. of the total number of our paid-up shares, a simple majority of the Kenon Shares voting, is required at the AGM, to re-elect the directors nominated pursuant to Proposals No. 1(a) – 1(g), to re-appoint KPMG LLP as our statutory Auditor pursuant to Proposal No. 2, and to approve the ordinary resolutions contained in Proposals No. 3 through 6. The Chairman of the AGM will demand a poll in order to enable the Kenon Shares represented in person or by proxy to be counted for voting purposes.
Under the laws of Singapore, abstentions and "broker non-votes" are considered present and entitled to vote for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the AGM.
Abstentions will not be counted in the tabulation of votes cast on a Proposal and are therefore not counted for purposes of determining whether a Proposal has been approved.
A "broker non-vote" will not be counted in the tabulation of votes cast on the relevant Proposal and is therefore not counted for purposes of determining whether such Proposal has been approved. A "broker non-vote" occurs when a bank, broker or other nominee holding shares on behalf of a beneficial owner may not vote ordinary shares held by it because it (i) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares and (ii) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares. Please note if you are a beneficial owner, your broker, bank, nominee or other institution is only entitled to vote your shares on "routine" matters if it does not receive voting instructions from you. The Proposals listed below are not "routine" matters for purposes of the broker vote:
Shareholders of Record: Kenon has convened an AGM to be held on June 22, 2017, to consider and vote upon the Proposals. You are entitled to vote at the AGM if you are a shareholder of record (member) holding Kenon Shares in your own name and registered in the Branch Register of Members maintained by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. ("Computershare"), as at the date of the AGM. Each outstanding Kenon Share that you own entitles you to one vote on a poll.
Beneficial Shareholders: If you hold Kenon Shares other than in registered form as a "shareholder of record" (i.e. if you hold Kenon Shares in "street name" as, or through, a participant in the DTC (which includes those Kenon Shareholders that hold Kenon Shares through the TASE)), in order for your vote to be counted at the AGM, you must have been a Kenon Shareholder as at, and with effect from, the Record Date.
If you have sold or transferred all of your Kenon Shares, you should immediately forward this Proxy Statement to the purchaser or transferee, or to the broker, bank, nominee, or other institution through whom the sale was effected, for onward transmission to the purchaser or transferee.
If you become a beneficial holder of Kenon Shares after the Record Date, but before the date of the AGM, and you wish to vote your Kenon Shares, you must become a "shareholder of record" prior to the AGM and vote as a "shareholder of record" according to the manner of voting set forth below. Please contact your broker, bank, nominee, or other institution holding your Kenon Shares if you wish to become a "shareholder of record."

Manner of Voting.
Whether you plan to attend the AGM or not, we urge you to vote by proxy.
Shareholders of Record: A shareholder of record (member) entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint a proxy, or proxies, to attend and vote on his or her behalf. A proxy need not be a shareholder of record (member). To vote by proxy, you should complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly to Computershare in accordance with the instructions set forth in the AGM Notice, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM (or within such other time as may be required by the Companies Act, Chapter 50 of Singapore (the "Singapore Companies Act")).
Where a member appoints two or more proxies, the appointments shall be valid only if he specifies the proportion of his shareholding (expressed as a percentage of the whole) to be represented by each proxy. In the case of a joint appointment of two proxies, the Chairman of the AGM will be a member's proxy by default in relation to the number of shares represented by this proxy card if either or both of the proxies appointed does/do not attend the AGM. In the case of an appointment of two proxies in the alternative, the Chairman of the AGM will be a member's proxy by default in relation to the number of shares represented by this proxy card if both the proxies appointed do not attend the AGM.
Returning the proxy card will not affect your right to attend the AGM, and your proxy will not be used if you are personally present at the AGM or have, pursuant to the procedures set forth below, informed Kenon in writing prior to the voting that you wish to vote your Kenon Shares in person.
The proxy card must be signed under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing. Where the proxy card is executed by a corporation, it must be executed either under its common seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised. A corporation which is a member may authorise by resolution of its directors or other governing body such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at the AGM.
If you sign the proxy card, but do not make specific choices, the proxy holder will vote your Kenon Shares as recommended by Kenon's Board.
Beneficial Shareholders (New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE")): If you hold Kenon Shares other than in registered form as a "shareholder of record" (i.e. if you hold Kenon Shares in "street name" as, or through, a participant in the DTC, but do not hold your Kenon Shares through the TASE), you have the right to instruct your broker, bank, nominee or other institution on how to vote the Kenon Shares in your account. Your broker, bank, nominee or other institution will send a voting instruction form for you to use to direct how your Kenon Shares should be voted. You may not vote your Kenon Shares in person at the AGM unless you (i) obtain a legal proxy from the DTC (in compliance with the voting requirements under Singapore law) through your broker, bank, nominee, or other institution that holds your Kenon Shares, giving you the right to vote the Kenon Shares instead of the broker, bank, nominee, or other institution holding your Kenon Shares, (ii) bring a letter or recent account statement from such broker, bank, nominee, or other institution that confirms that you are the beneficial owner of the Kenon Shares, and (iii) bring a picture identification, such as a valid driver's license or passport, for purposes of personal identification.
If you do not intend to vote in person at the AGM, your Kenon Shares must be voted no less than 48 hours prior to the AGM (or within such longer period prior to the AGM as may be specified by the DTC's, or the DTC participants', procedures).
Beneficial Shareholders (TASE): If you hold Kenon Shares other than in registered form as a "shareholder of record" and your Kenon Shares are traded on the TASE, you are regarded as a beneficial holder of Kenon Shares and you may only vote your shares in one of the following ways: (a) sign and date a proxy card in the form filed by Kenon on MAGNA, the distribution site of the Israeli Securities Authority, at www.magna.isa.gov.il ("MAGNA"), on June 2, 2017 and attach to it a proof of ownership certificate from the TASE Clearing House Member through which your Kenon Shares are held, which certificate indicates that you were the beneficial owner of such Kenon shares on the Record Date, and return the proxy card, along with the proof of ownership certificate, to Kenon c/o Meitar Liquornik Geva Leshem Tal, Law Offices via fax to +972-3-6103661, Attention: Tomer Sela, Partner, or by e-mail to: [email protected], or (b) if you choose to vote in person at the AGM, you must bring the proof of ownership certificate from the TASE's Clearing House member through which your Kenon Shares are held, which certificate indicates that you were the beneficial owner of the shares on the Record Date, as well as a picture identification, such as a valid driver's license or passport, for purposes of personal identification. In addition, you will also need to request a legal proxy from the DTC (in compliance with the voting requirements under Singapore law).
If you do not intend to vote in person at the AGM, your Kenon Shares must be voted no less than 48 hours prior to the AGM (or within such longer period prior to the AGM as may be specified by the DTC's, the DTC's participants', or the TASE's procedures).
Shareholders of Record: If you are a "shareholder of record," your proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the time it is voted by (i) providing appropriate written notice to Kenon at c/o Computershare Shareholder Services, P.O. BOX 30170, College Station, TX 77845-3170, no less than 48 hours prior to the AGM or (ii) attending the AGM and voting in person.
Beneficial Shareholders (NYSE): If your Kenon Shares are held in "street name" through a broker, bank, nominee, or other institution (other than those Kenon Shareholders that hold Kenon Shares through the TASE), please contact the broker, bank, nominee or other institution which holds your Kenon Shares to determine how to change or revoke your voting instructions.
Beneficial Shareholders (TASE): If you hold Kenon Shares that are traded on the TASE, you may revoke such proxy at any time prior to the time it is voted by (i) communicating such revocation in writing to Kenon or by executing and delivering a later-dated proxy to Kenon c/o Meitar Liquornik Geva Leshem Tal Law Offices via fax to +972-3-6103661, Attention: Tomer Sela, Partner, or by e-mail to: [email protected], no less than 48 hours prior to the AGM or (ii) attending the AGM and voting in person, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in "Manner of Voting – Beneficial Shareholders (TASE)" above.

Proposals 1(a) – 1(g) to re-elect each of the above nominees to our Board.
KPMG LLP served as our statutory Auditor for the financial year ended December 31, 2016. Pursuant to section 205(2) and 205(4) of the Singapore Companies Act, any appointment after the Board's initial appointment of our statutory Auditor, or its subsequent removal, requires the approval of our shareholders. The Audit Committee of our Board has authorised, approved, and recommended to our Board the re-appointment of KPMG LLP as our statutory Auditor for the financial year ending 31 December 2017 and to perform other appropriate services. As a result, our Board has approved, subject to shareholders' approval, the re-appointment of KPMG LLP and, pursuant to section 205(16) of the Singapore Companies Act, is requesting that the shareholders authorise the Directors to fix the Auditor's remuneration for services rendered through the AGM. We expect that a representative from KPMG LLP will be present at the AGM. This representative will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. In addition, the fees paid to KPMG LLP for the financial year ended December 31, 2016 shall be reported to Kenon Shareholders at the AGM upon request.
Proposal 2 to re-appoint KPMG LLP as our statutory Auditor for the financial year ending 31 December 2017, and to authorise the Directors to fix their remuneration.
Under section 169 of the Singapore Companies Act, we may only provide compensation to our Directors for services rendered in their capacity as Directors with the prior approval from our shareholders at a general meeting.
We believe that it is advisable and in the best interests of our shareholders for our shareholders to authorise the Company to provide cash compensation to any non-executive Director appointed from time to time in the manner specified below:
such standing authority to commence with effect from 1 July 2017 and in relation to:
If Proposal 3 is approved by our shareholders, this authority will vary and replace in its entirety, with effect from 1 July 2017, the standing authority passed by the shareholders of the Company on 30 June 2015. This mandate, when passed by shareholders will continue on a perpetual basis without the need for renewal at subsequent annual general meetings, unless subsequently varied or revoked by an ordinary resolution passed by shareholders at a general meeting.
The cash compensation due to Mr. Cyril Pierre-Jean Ducau, Mr. Aviad Kaufman and Mr. Antoine Bonnier will be paid to and retained by Ansonia Holdings Singapore B.V. ("Ansonia") or an entity designated by Ansonia.
We believe that this authorisation will benefit our shareholders by enabling the Company to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as Directors of the Company and to continue to provide leadership for the Company with the goal of enhancing long-term value for our shareholders.
The Board recommends a vote "FOR" Proposal 3 to approve the standing authority for the cash compensation for our non-executive Directors.

We believe that it is advisable and in the best interests of our shareholders for our shareholders to authorise the Company to provide annual equity compensation to any non-executive Director appointed from time to time, in the following manner:
(a) an annual award covering such number of ordinary shares of the Company, fully paid-up, reflecting a fair market value of US\$68,000, in accordance with the SIP 2014 and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the award letter to be issued to him, or at the election by the CC to instead pay the cash amount of US\$68,000 in lieu of ordinary shares, which shall be determined by the CC in its sole discretion for services rendered and/or to be rendered as a Director ("NED Annual Award"); and
(b) an annual award covering such number of ordinary shares of the Company, fully paid-up, reflecting a fair market value of US\$32,000, in accordance with the SIP 2014 and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the award letter to be issued to him, or at the election by the CC to instead pay the cash amount of US\$32,000 in lieu of ordinary shares, which shall be determined by the CC in its sole discretion for services rendered and/or to be rendered as Chairman of the AC ("AC Chairman Annual Award"),
such standing authority to commence with effect from 1 July 2017, and a pro-rated amount of fees in ordinary shares or cash as aforesaid shall be payable to him if he does not complete a full calendar year of service.
This mandate, when passed by shareholders will continue on a perpetual basis without the need for renewal at subsequent annual general meetings, unless subsequently varied or revoked by an ordinary resolution passed by shareholders at a general meeting.
Any grant of (i) an NED Annual Award and (ii) an AC Chairman Annual Award, and issue of ordinary shares pursuant thereto shall be conditional upon there being a subsisting valid authority conferred upon the Directors pursuant to section 161 of the Singapore Companies Act in respect of the issue of ordinary shares. In the event that there is no valid authority pursuant to section 161 of the Singapore Companies Act that is subsisting, each such non-executive Director(s) will then be entitled to receive in cash in lieu of ordinary shares, Director's fees equivalent to (i) US\$68,000 with respect to an NED Annual Award and (ii) US\$32,000 with respect to an AC Chairman Annual Award.
If Proposal 4 is approved by our shareholders, this authority will vary and replace in its entirety, with effect from 1 July 2017, the standing authority passed by the sole shareholder of the Company on 30 June 2015 with respect to any annual equity compensation. This mandate, when passed by shareholders will continue on a perpetual basis without the need for renewal at subsequent annual general meetings, unless subsequently varied or revoked by an ordinary resolution passed by shareholders at a general meeting.
The Board recommends a vote "FOR" Proposal 4 to approve the standing authority for the annual equity compensation for non-executive Directors.
We are incorporated in the Republic of Singapore. Under Singapore law, our Directors may only issue ordinary shares and make or grant offers, agreements or options that might or would require the issuance of ordinary shares, with the prior approval from our shareholders. We are submitting this Proposal 5 because we are required to do so under the laws of Singapore before we can issue any ordinary shares in connection with our equity compensation plans, possible future strategic transactions, or public and private offerings.
If this Proposal 5 is approved, the authorisation would be effective from the date of the AGM until the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the 2018 Annual General Meeting or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the 2018 Annual General Meeting is required by law to be held. The 2018 Annual General Meeting is required to be held no later than 15 months after the date of the AGM and no later than six months after the date of our 2018 financial year end, whichever is the earlier date.
Our Board believes that it is advisable and in the best interests of our shareholders for our shareholders to authorise our Directors to issue ordinary shares and to make or grant offers, agreements or options that might or would require the issuance of ordinary shares.
We are not submitting this Proposal 5 in response to a threatened takeover. In the event of a hostile attempt to acquire control of the Company, we could seek to impede the attempt by issuing ordinary shares, which may dilute the voting power of our existing shareholders. This could also have the effect of impeding the efforts of our shareholders to remove an incumbent director and replace him with a new director of their choice. These potential effects could limit the opportunity for our shareholders to dispose of their ordinary shares at the premium that may be available in takeover attempts.
Notwithstanding this general authorisation to issue our ordinary shares, we will be required to seek shareholder approval with respect to future issuances of ordinary shares where required under the rules of NYSE, such as where we propose to issue ordinary shares that will result in a change in control of the Company.
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, other than issuances of ordinary shares or agreements that would require the issuance of new ordinary shares in connection with our equity compensation plans and arrangements, we have no specific plans, agreements or commitments to issue any ordinary shares for which approval of this Proposal 5 is required. Nevertheless, our Board believes that it is advisable and in the best interests of our shareholders for our shareholders to provide this general authorisation in order to avoid the delay and expense of obtaining shareholder approval at a later date and to provide us with greater flexibility to pursue strategic transactions and acquisitions and to raise additional capital through public and private offerings of our ordinary shares as well as instruments convertible into our ordinary shares.
The Board recommends a vote "FOR" Proposal 5 to authorise the ordinary share issuances.

Proposal 6 is to authorise the Directors to (i) offer and grant awards, allot and issue ordinary shares, in accordance with the provisions of the SIP 2014, and/or (ii) offer and grant options, and allot and issue ordinary shares upon the exercise of options and payment of the exercise price, in accordance with the provisions of the SOP 2014 provided the total number of shares which may be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the SIP 2014 and options granted under the SOP 2014 on any date, when added to the total number of new shares allotted and issued and/or to be allotted and issued and issued shares (including treasury shares) delivered and/or to be delivered (i) pursuant to awards already granted under the SIP 2014; and (ii) pursuant to options already granted under the SOP 2014, shall not exceed three (3) per cent. of the total number of issued shares (excluding shares held by the Company as treasury shares) from time to time (measured at the time of grant) or such other limit as may be amended from time to time.
The Company intends to continue to rely upon equity as a component of compensation. If shareholder approval is not granted to authorise the Directors to issue shares pursuant to the equity awards, we would have to review our compensation practices, and would likely have to substantially increase our cash compensation to retain key personnel.
Our Board expects that we will continue to issue ordinary shares and grant awards pursuant to the SIP 2014 and/or offer and grant options pursuant to the SOP 2014 in the future under circumstances similar to those in the past.
The Board recommends a vote "FOR" Proposal 6 to authorise the grant of awards under the SIP 2014 and/or options under the SOP 2014 and the allotment and issuance of ordinary shares.
Kenon is a holding company that operates dynamic, primarily growth-oriented, businesses. The companies which Kenon owns, in whole or in part, are at various stages of development, ranging from established, cash generating businesses to early stage development companies.
Kenon remains committed to its strategy to realize the value of its businesses for Kenon Shareholders.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders Kenon Holdings Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Kenon Holdings Ltd., which comprise the statements of financial position of the Group and Company as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of profit and loss, other comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We did not audit the combined financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries, Distribuidora de Electricidad de Occidente, S. A. ('DEOCSA') and Distribuidora de Electricidad de Oriente, S. A. ('DEORSA'), the combined financial statements of which reflected total assets and total revenues that constituted 16.4% percent and 27.1% percent, respectively, of the related consolidated totals of Kenon Holdings Ltd. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016. Those combined financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for DEOCSA and DEORSA, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards as established by the Auditing Standards Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the statements of financial position of the Group and of the Company as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of operations of the Group and cash flows of the Group for the years then ended in conformity with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50 (the Act) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards ('FRSs').

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Distribuidora de Electricidad de Occidente, S.A. and Distribuidora de Electricidad de Oriente, S.A. (Guatemalan entities)
We have audited the combined statement of financial position of Distribuidora de Electricidad de Occidente, S.A. and Distribuidora de Electricidad de Oriente, S.A. (together, the "Combined Entities") as of December 31, 2016, and the related combined statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein). These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Combined Entities' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Combined Entities are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Combined Entities' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Combined Entities as of December 31, 2016, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Deloitte LATCO Firma miembro de Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited

As stated in Note 23 of the accompanying Combined Financial Statements, on December 2, 2016, a reduction in the capital stock was approved by the respective Combined Entities shareholders through the decrease in the nominal value of the Combined Entities' respective shares. According to Guatemala's Commerce Code, the reduction of capital stock can be recorded only when it is registered in the Commercial Register. As further indicated in Note 23, as of the date of issuance of the accompanying Combined Financial Statements the registration in the Commercial Register is pending, and as such the above mentioned reduction was not recognized.
As stated in Note 30.c) of the accompanying combined financial statements, in July 2016, the Guatemalan Tax Authority (Superintendencia de Administración Tributaria, or the "SAT") filed a criminal complaint against DEOCSA and DEORSA, which requested the initiation of a criminal proceeding for tax fraud, and the payment of alleged back taxes, interest and fines in relation to fiscal years 2011 and 2012, on the grounds that the structure of the 2011 acquisition of DEOCSA and DEORSA was used solely to generate tax deductions in respect of interest and amortization of goodwill. As of December 31, 2016, the Combined Entities paid a total of approximately US\$ 18,093 thousand (Q. 137,505 thousand) for the fiscal years 2014 and 2015; and on 19 August 2016, they paid a total of US\$ 13,189 thousand (Q. 100,236 thousand) for the fiscal year 2013. In addition, during 2016 the Combined Entities made additional payments of income tax in advance by Q. 40,729 thousand (US\$ 5,393 thousand) corresponding to fiscal year 2016, not computing as deductible amounts the items related to goodwill, depreciation and interest that were subject of the criminal complaint. The Combined Entities' management considers, based on the opinion of its tax and legal advisors, that the receivable generated by these payments is more likely than not to be recovered as a result of the final outcome of this criminal complaint and of the other recourses to be initiated by the Combined Entities.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements.
Kenon Holdings Ltd (the "Company" or "Kenon") was incorporated on March 7, 2014 in the Republic of Singapore under the Singapore Companies Act. Our registered office and principal place of business is located at 1 Temasek Avenue #36-01, Millenia Tower, Singapore 039192.
The Company is a holding company and was incorporated to receive investments spun-off from their former parent company, Israel Corporation Ltd. ("IC"). The Company was formed to serve as the holding company of the businesses (together referred to as the "Group"). The primary focus will be to continue to grow and develop the primary businesses, I.C. Power Asia Development Ltd. (formerly known as I.C. Power Ltd.) ("I.C. Power") and Qoros Automotive Co., Ltd. ("Qoros").
On January 22, 2016, I.C. Power Distribution Holdings Pte Ltd ("ICP Distribution") acquired Estrella Cooperatief BA group of companies collectively known as Energuate, see Note 11.A.1.a.
On March 21, 2016, as part of an internal restructuring, a wholly owned subsidiary, I.C. Power Pte. Ltd. "I.C. Power Singapore" (was subsequently renamed as I.C. Power Ltd.) acquired Kenon's subsidiary I.C. Power, the holding company for Kenon's energy generation and distribution business. As a result, I.C. Power Singapore is now the parent holding company of Kenon's power generation and distribution businesses.
The split-up of IC's holdings on January 7, 2015 involved the contribution of IC's holdings in I.C. Power, Qoros, ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd ("ZIM"), Tower Semiconductor Ltd. ("Tower") and other assets and entities, to Kenon, in exchange for shares of Kenon. Kenon's shares were, in turn, distributed on January 9, 2015 to the shareholders of IC as a "dividend in kind". IC's debt to banks and debenture holders remain in IC, and were not transferred to Kenon.
The split-up was completed on January 7, 2015 and on January 15, 2015 and January 11, 2015, Kenon shares were traded on New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and on Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) (NYSE and TASE: KEN) respectively.
After the split-up, I.C. Power is the primary subsidiary that Kenon holds. I.C. Power, through its operating subsidiaries and associates, provides electricity generation using different technologies such as hydroelectric, natural gas and diesel turbines and heavy fuel oil engines in Peru, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Bolivia, El Salvador, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Guatemala and Israel.
In March 2016, Kenon announces an amendment to its loan agreement with IC and related pledge arrangements to accommodate the new holding company within the Group, I.C. Power Singapore.
Based on the loan agreement, Kenon pledged 66% of I.C. Power shares held by Kenon. In relation to the internal reorganization above, the pledge effectively continues as Kenon pledged 66% of its shares in I.C. Power Singapore to IC. Kenon also pledged 66% of certain intercompany debt receivables owing from I.C. Power Singapore to Kenon, which receivables resulted from this internal restructuring.
The pledge over the shares of I.C. Power Singapore and the related intercompany debt receivables were expected to be released following the consummation of an IPO of I.C. Power Singapore, subject to Kenon's request, and provided that no default, breach of or non-compliance with any material undertaking or material condition contained in the loan agreement and the ratio of holdings value to net debt on such day is at least equal to 2:1 (See Note 11.A.3).
c. Distribution to IC's shareholders as a dividend in kind of the shares of Kenon; including registration of these shares for trading, both on NYSE and on TASE;
In relation to the reorganization in Note 1.A, I.C. Power Singapore issued a \$145 million note and \$75 million note payable to Kenon. The proceeds of the notes were applied by I.C. Power Singapore towards paying the purchase consideration for the acquisition of Kenon's entire equity interest in I.C. Power. The notes both bear interest at a rate of LIBOR+6% per annum until the date the notes are fully paid.
On October 12, 2016, Kenon received a \$78 million payment from I.C. Power Singapore representing repayment of the \$75 million note, together with accrued interest.
In these consolidated financial statements -
The consolidated financial statements were prepared by management of the Group in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards ("FRS") as issued by the Accounting Standards Council ("ASC").
The consolidated financial statements were approved for issuance by the Company's Board of Directors on April 15, 2017.
These consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars, which is Kenon's functional currency, and have been rounded to the nearest thousands, except when otherwise indicated. The US dollar is the currency that represents the principal economic environment in which Kenon.
The consolidated financial statements were prepared on the historical cost basis, with the exception of the following assets and liabilities:
For additional information regarding measurement of these assets and liabilities – see Note 3 "Significant Accounting Policies".
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with FRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The preparation of accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Group to make assumptions regarding circumstances and events that involve considerable uncertainty. Management prepares the estimates based on past experience, various facts, external circumstances, and reasonable assumptions according to the pertinent circumstances of each estimate.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Following the Group's business combination ("Note 11.A.1"), the Group had implemented additional accounting policies under the group of companies and information about assumptions made by management of the Group with respect to the future and other reasons for uncertainty with respect to estimates that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are set forth below:
Property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life.
At every year-end, or more often if necessary, management examines the estimated useful life of the property, plant and equipment by comparing it to the benchmark in the relevant industry, taking into account the level of maintenance and functioning over the years. If necessary, on the basis of this evaluation, the Group adjusts the estimated useful life of the property, plant and equipment. A change in estimates in subsequent periods could materially increase or decrease future depreciation expense.
Each reporting date, the management of the Group examines whether there have been any events or changes in circumstances which would indicate impairment of one or more of its nonfinancial assets or Cash Generating Units ("CGUs"). When there are indications of impairment, an examination is made as to whether the carrying amount of the non-financial assets or CGUs exceeds their recoverable amount, and if necessary, an impairment loss is recognized. Assessment of the impairment of goodwill and of other intangible assets having an indeterminable life is performed at least once a year or when signs of impairment exist.
The recoverable amount of the asset or CGU is determined based on the higher of the fair value less selling costs of the asset or CGU and the present value of the future cash flows expected from the continued use of the asset or CGU in its present condition, including the cash flows expected upon retiring the asset from service and its eventual sale (value in use).
The future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
The estimates regarding future cash flows are based on past experience with respect to this asset or similar assets (or CGUs), and on the Group's best possible assessments regarding the economic conditions that will exist during the remaining useful life of the asset or CGU.
The estimate of the future cash flows relies on the Group's budget and other forecasts. Since the actual cash flows may differ, the recoverable amount determined could change in subsequent periods, such that an additional impairment loss needs to be recognized or a previously recognized impairment loss needs to be reversed.
The Group is a party to derivative financial instruments used to hedge foreign currency risks, interest risks and price risks. The derivatives are recorded based on their respective fair values. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is determined using acceptable valuation techniques that characterize the different derivatives, maximizing the use of observable inputs. Fair value measurement of long-term derivatives takes into account the counterparties credit risks. Changes in the economic assumptions and/or valuation techniques could give rise to significant changes in the fair value of the derivatives.
Management of the Group exercises significant judgment in determining whether it is necessary to separate an embedded derivative from a host contract. If it is determined that the embedded derivative is not closely related to the host contract and that it is necessary to separate the embedded derivative, this component is measured separately from the host contract as a financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss. Otherwise, the entire instrument is measured in accordance with the measurement principles applicable to the host contract.
Changes in the fair value of separable embedded derivatives are recognized immediately in profit or loss, as financing income or expenses.
Deferred tax assets are recorded in relation to unutilized tax losses, as well as with respect to deductible temporary differences. Since such deferred tax assets may only be recognized where it is probable that there will be future taxable income against which said losses may be utilized, use of discretion by management of the Group is required in order to assess the probability that such future taxable income will exist. Management's assessment is re-examined on a current basis and deferred tax assets are recognized if it is probable that future taxable income will permit recovery of the deferred tax assets.
The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase gain is recognized in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are recognized in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not re-measured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in profit or loss.
From time to time, the Group is involved in routine litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business. Provisions for litigation are recognized as set out in Note 3(P). Contingent liabilities for litigation and other claims do not result in provisions, but are disclosed in Note 20. The outcomes of legal proceedings with the Group are subjected to significant uncertainty and changes in factors impacting management's assessments could materially impact the consolidated financial statements.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. The Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise stated.
Common control transactions of companies that involve the setup of a new group company and the combination of entities under common control are recorded using the book values of Group's parent company.
The Group accounts for all business combinations according to the acquisition method.
The acquisition date is the date on which the Group obtains control over an acquiree. Control exists when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the acquiree and it has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the acquiree. Substantive rights held by the Group and others are taken into account when assessing control.
The Group recognizes goodwill on acquisition according to the fair value of the consideration transferred less the net amount of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired less the fair value of liabilities assumed.
If the Group pays a bargain price for the acquisition (meaning including negative goodwill), it recognizes the resulting gain in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
The Group recognizes contingent consideration measured at fair value at the acquisition date. The contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument that is not classified as equity will be measured at fair value through profit or loss; except for non-derivative financial instrument contingent consideration which will be measured through other comprehensive income.
Furthermore, goodwill is not adjusted in respect of the utilization of carry-forward tax losses that existed on the date of the business combination.
Costs associated with acquisitions that were incurred by the acquirer in the business combination such as: finder's fees, advisory, legal, valuation and other professional or consulting fees are expensed in the period the services are received.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date when control ceased. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Company.
The Company has no interest in structured entities as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.
NCI comprises the equity of a subsidiary or combined entity that cannot be attributed, directly or indirectly, to the parent company, and they include additional components such as: sharebased payments that will be settled with equity instruments of the subsidiaries and options for shares of subsidiaries.
NCI are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.
Changes in the Group's interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
Transactions with NCI, while retaining control
Transactions with NCI while retaining control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the consideration paid or received and the change in NCI is included directly in equity.
Profit or loss and any part of other comprehensive income are allocated to the owners of the Group and the NCI. Total comprehensive income is allocated to the owners of the Group and the NCI even if the result is a negative balance of NCI.
Furthermore, when the holding interest in the subsidiary changes, while retaining control, the Group re-attributes the accumulated amounts that were recognized in other comprehensive income to the owners of the Group and the NCI.
Cash flows deriving from transactions with holders of NCI while retaining control are classified under "financing activities" in the statement of cash flows.
Upon the loss of control, the Group derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any NCI and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. The difference between the sum of the proceeds and fair value of the retained interest, and the derecognized balances is recognized in profit or loss under other income or other expenses. Subsequently, the retained interest is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an available-for-sale asset depending on the level of influence retained by the Group in the relevant company.
The amounts recognized in capital reserves through other comprehensive income with respect to the same subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss or to retained earnings in the same manner that would have been applicable if the subsidiary had itself realized the same assets or liabilities.
The Group's interests in equity-accounted investees comprise interests in associates and a joint-venture.
Associates are entities in which the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. In assessing significant influence, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible into shares of the investee are taken into account.
Joint-venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, whereby the Group has the rights to assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities.
Associates and joint-venture are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the income and expenses in profit or loss and of other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.
The Group's share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognized in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero. When the Group's share of long-term interests that form a part of the investment in the investee is different from its share in the investee's equity, the Group continues to recognize its share of the investee's losses, after the equity investment was reduced to zero, according to its economic interest in the long-term interests, after the aforesaid interests were reduced to zero. When the group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the entity's net investment in the associate, the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation to support the investee or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
The Group discontinues applying the equity method from the date it loses significant influence in an associate and it accounts for the retained investment as a financial asset, as relevant.
On the date of losing significant influence, the Group measures at fair value any retained interest it has in the former associate. The Group recognizes in profit or loss any difference between the sum of the fair value of the retained interest and any proceeds received from the partial disposal of the investment in the associate or joint venture, and the carrying amount of the investment on that date.
Amounts recognized in equity through other comprehensive income with respect to such associates are reclassified to profit or loss or to retained earnings in the same manner that would have been applicable if the associate had itself disposed the related assets or liabilities.
When the Group increases its interest in an equity accounted investee while retaining significant influence, it implements the acquisition method only with respect to the additional interest obtained whereas the previous interest remains the same.
When there is a decrease in the interest in an equity accounted investee while retaining significant influence, the Group derecognizes a proportionate part of its investment and recognizes in profit or loss a gain or loss from the sale under other income or other expenses.
Furthermore, on the same date, a proportionate part of the amounts recognized in equity through other comprehensive income with respect to the same equity accounted investee are reclassified to profit or loss or to retained earnings in the same manner that would have been applicable if the associate had itself realized the same assets or liabilities.
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group's interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Common control transactions that involve the setup of a new group company and the combination of entities under common control are recorded using the book values of the parent company.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost would be reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for differences relating to qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent the hedge is effective which are recognized in other comprehensive income.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into US dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into US dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign operation translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
When the foreign operation is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, then the relevant proportionate share of the foreign operation translation difference is allocated to the NCI.
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control or significant influence is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as a part of the gain or loss on disposal.
Furthermore, when the Group's interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation changes, while retaining control in the subsidiary, a proportionate part of the cumulative amount of the translation difference that was recognized in other comprehensive income is reattributed to NCI.
The Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate that includes a foreign operation, while retaining significant influence, the proportionate part of the cumulative amount of the translation difference is reclassified to profit or loss.
Generally, foreign currency differences from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, including foreign operations that are subsidiaries, are recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income, and are presented within equity in the translation reserve.
The Bolivian government under the mandate of Evo Morales has nationalized companies that were privatized during President Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada's 1993-1997 administration and some other companies that were never owned by the Bolivian government.
As of the date of this report, the Bolivian government has not taken any specific action nor threatened to take any specific action against COBEE. Currently, I.C. Power has full control of COBEE´s operations and maintains all the associated economic rights and risks. Therefore, COBEE´s financial statements are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Group classifies non-derivative financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, held-to-maturity financial assets, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.
The Group classifies non- financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities categories.
The Group initially recognizes loans and receivables and debt securities issued on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date.
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retains control over the transferred asset. Any interest in such derecognized financial asset that is created or retained by the Group is recognized as a separate asset or liability.
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, or cancelled or expire.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
| Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss |
A financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Directly attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss. |
|---|---|
| Held-to-maturity financial assets | These assets are initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. |
| Loans and receivables | These assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. |
| Available-for-sale financial assets | These assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on debt instruments, are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI") and accumulated in the fair value reserve. When these assets are derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss. |
Non-derivative financial liabilities include loans and credit from banks and others, debentures, trade and other payables and finance lease liabilities.
Non-derivative financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures.
Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value; any directly attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss.
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in OCI and accumulated in the hedging reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The amount accumulated in equity is retained in OCI and reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects profit or loss.
If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.
A financial guarantee is initially recognized at fair value. In subsequent periods, a financial guarantee is measured at the higher of the amount recognized in accordance with the guidelines of FRS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and the liability initially recognized under FRS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and subsequently amortized in accordance with the guidelines of FRS 18 Revenue. Any resulting adjustment of the liability is recognized in profit or loss.
In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Items of property, plant and equipment comprise mainly power station structures, power distribution facilities and related offices. These items are measured at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment items have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognized.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group, and its cost can be measured reliably.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognized in profit or loss. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.

| Years | |
|---|---|
| Roads, buildings and leasehold improvements | 2 – 50 |
| Installations, machinery and equipment: | |
| Thermal power plants | 10 – 35 |
| Hydro-electric plants | 70 – 90 |
| Wind power plants | 25 |
| Power generation and electrical | 20 |
| Dams | 18 – 80 |
| Office furniture, motor vehicles and other equipment | 3 – 16 |
| Substations, medium voltage equipment and transf.MV/LV | 30 – 40 |
| Meters and connections | 10 – 25 |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed by management of the Group at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
| Goodwill | Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In respect of equity accounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment; and any impairment loss is allocated to the carrying amount of the equity investee as a whole. |
|---|---|
| Research and development | Expenditures on research activities is recognized in profit and loss as incurred. |
| Development activities involve expenditures incurred in relation to the design and evaluation of future power plant projects before the technical feasibility and commercial viability is fully completed, however the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset. |
|
| At each reporting date, the management of the Group performs an evaluation of each project in order to identify facts and circumstances that suggest that the carrying amount of the assets may exceed their recoverable amount. |
|
| Concessions | Intangible assets granted by the Energy and Mining Ministry of Guatemala to DEORSA and DEOCSA to operate power distribution business in defined geographic areas, and acquired as part of business combination. The Group measures Concessions at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Customer relationships | Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination and are recognized separately from goodwill if the assets are separable or arise from contractual or other legal rights and their fair value can be measured reliably. Customer relationships are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Other intangible assets | Other intangible assets, including licenses, patents and trademarks, which are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Amortization is calculated to charge to expense the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their useful lives, and is generally recognized in profit or loss. Goodwill is not amortized.
The estimated useful lives for current and comparative year are as follows:
| Concessions | 33 years* |
|---|---|
| Customer relationships | 1-12 years |
| Software costs | 5 years |
| Others | 5-27 years |
* The concessions are amortized over the remaining life of the licenses from the date of the business combination.
Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed by management of the Group at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill is expensed as incurred.
In the distribution industry, an entity may receive from its customers items of property, plant and equipment that must be used to connect those customers to a network and provide them with ongoing access to supply electricity. Alternatively, an entity may receive cash from customers for the acquisition or construction of such items of property, plant and equipment. In these cases, where the Group determines that the items qualify for recognition as an asset, the transferred assets are recognized as part of the property plant and equipment in the statement of financial position in accordance with FRS 16 and measured the cost on initial recognition at its fair value.
The transfer of an item of property, plant and equipment is an exchange for dissimilar goods or services. Consequently, the Group recognize revenue in accordance with FRS 18. The timing of the recognition of the revenue arising from the transfer will take place once the Company has control on the assets and the customers are connected to the distribution network.
The Group has examined the characteristics, conditions and terms currently in effect under its electric energy distribution license and the guidelines established by INT FRS 112. On the basis of such analysis, the Group concluded that its license is outside the scope of INT FRS 112, primarily because the grantor does not control any significant residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the arrangement and the possibility of renewal.
The Group accounts for the assets acquired or constructed in connection with the Concessions in accordance with FRS 16 Property, plant and equipment.
Assets held by the Group under leases that are transferred to the Group substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
Asset held under other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognized in the Group's consolidated statement of financial position.
Payments made under operating leases, other than conditional lease payments, are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate if interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventories consist of fuel, spare parts, materials and supplies. Cost is determined by using the average cost method.
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for the energy and capacity in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
The Group considers evidence of impairment for trade receivables at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant trade receivables are assessed for specific impairment. All individually significant trade receivables found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Trade receivables with similar risk characteristics that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment. In assessing collective impairment the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management's judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.
Specific and non-specific borrowing costs are capitalized to qualifying assets throughout the period required for completion and construction until they are ready for their intended use. Non-specific borrowing costs are capitalized in the same manner to the same investment in qualifying assets, or portion thereof, which was not financed with specific credit by means of a rate which is the weighted-average cost of the credit sources which were not specifically capitalized. Foreign currency differences from credit in foreign currency are capitalized if they are considered an adjustment of interest costs. Other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. Income earned on the temporary investment of specific credit received for investing in a qualifying asset is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Financial assets not classified as at fair value through profit or loss, including an interest in an equity- account investee, are assessed by management of the Group at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes:
Default or delinquency by a debtor;
Observable data indicating that there is measurable decrease in expected cash flows from a group of financial assets.
For an investment in an equity security, objective evidence of impairment includes a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost.
| Financial Assets measured at amortized costs |
The Group considers evidence of impairment for these assets at both an individual asset and a collective level. All individually significant assets are individually assessed for impairment. Those found not to be impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet individually identified. Assets that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment. Collective assessment is carried out by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. |
|---|---|
| In assessing collective impairment, the group uses historical information on the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, and makes an adjustment if current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or lesser than suggested by historical trends. |
|
| An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. Losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account. When the Group considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, then the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. |
|
| Available-for-sale financial assets | Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognized by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair value reserve to profit or loss. The amount reclassified is the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortization) and the current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss. If the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security subsequently increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, then the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss; otherwise, it is reversed through OCI. |
| Equity-account investees | An impairment loss in respect of an equity-accounted investee is measured by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss, and is reversed if there has been a favorable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount and only to the extent that the investment's carrying amount, after the reversal of the impairment loss, does not exceed the carrying amount of the investment that would have been determined by the equity method if no impairment loss had been recognized. |

At each reporting date, management of the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or whenever impairment indicators exist.
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from these synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an assessment is performed at each reporting date for any indications that these losses have decreased or no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount and is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably. The employee benefits are classified, for measurement purposes, as short-term benefits or as other long-term benefits depending on when the Group expects the benefits to be wholly settled.
The Group's senior executives receive remuneration in the form of share-appreciations rights, which can only be settled in cash (cash-settled transactions). The cost of cashsettled transactions is measured initially at the grant date. With respect to grants made to OPC Rotem Ltd's ("OPC") senior executives, this benefit is calculated by determining the present value of the settlement (execution) price set forth in the plan. The liability is re-measured at each reporting date and at the settlement date based on the formulas described above. Any changes in the liability are recognized as operating expenses in profit or loss.
Severance pay is charged to income statement when there is a clear obligation to pay termination of employees before they reach the customary age of retirement according to a formal, detailed plan, without any reasonable chance of cancellation, The benefits given to employees upon voluntary retirement are charged when the Group proposes a plan to the employees encouraging voluntary retirement, it is expected that the proposal will be accepted and the number of employee acceptances can be estimated reliably.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed at the end of each reporting period by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements of the defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in OCI. Interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plan are recognized in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
Qualifying employees are awarded grants of the Group's shares under the Group's 2014 Share Incentive Plan. The fair value of the grants are recognized as an employee compensation expense, with a corresponding increase in equity. The expense is amortised over the service period – the period that the employee must remain employed to receive the benefit of the award. At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of grants that are expected to vest. It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates in employee expenses and in a corresponding adjustment to equity over the remaining vesting period.
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue comprises the fair value for the sale of electricity, net of value-added-tax, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group.
Revenues from the sale of energy are recognized in the period during which the sale occurs. The revenues from the generation business are recorded based upon output delivered and capacity provided at rates specified pursuant to our Power Purchase Agreements ("PPAs"), or at marginal costs determined on the spot market, if the sales are made on the spot market.
Our revenues are determined substantially by long-term, U.S. dollar-linked PPAs. PPAs are usually entered into at prices that are equivalent to, or higher than, the prevailing spot market rates, the majority of which are indexed to the underlying fuel cost of the related long-term supply agreements. Under the terms of the majority of our PPAs, the power purchaser is contractually obligated to purchase its energy requirements, and sometimes capacity and/or ancillary services, from the power generator based upon a base price (denominated either in U.S. Dollars or in the local currency) that is generally adjusted for a combination of some of the following: (1) fluctuations in exchange rates, (2) the U.S. inflation index, (3) a local inflation index, (4) fluctuations in the cost of operating fuel, (5) supply costs of natural gas, and (6) transmission costs. Additionally, in Peru, PPAs include provisions that change the contractual unitary energy prices in the case of an interruption of the supply or transportation of natural gas through the use of a methodology based on spot prices existing on the dates in which the interruption event occurred. Many of the prices in our PPAs differentiate between peak and off-peak periods. As of December 31, 2016, the weighted average remaining life of our PPAs based on firm capacity was 9 years.
Revenues from the operation of electric energy distribution and other income from exploitation are measured at the fair value of the consideration received. Estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances are deducted from the revenue recognized.
Revenues from the distribution of electric energy are recognized based on the energy delivered, through invoicing and the estimate of sales from the energy supplied which has not been billed yet at the reporting date.
Revenues from toll services are recognized by the owner of the transmission, transformation or distribution facilities for allowing its use for the transportation of energy and capacity by a third party.

Revenue from cargo traffic is recognized in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date. The stage of completion is assessed for each cargo by the reference to the time-based proportion. The operating expenses related to cargo traffic are recognized immediately as incurred. If the incremental expenses related to the cargo exceed the related revenue, the loss is recognized immediately in income statement.
(i) Sales of vehicles
Revenue from the sale of vehicles in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of value-added tax ("VAT"), consumption tax and other sales taxes, returns or allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customers, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of vehicles can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
(ii) Rental income of vehicles
Rental income from operating leases is recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognized as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.
(iii) Licensing income
License fee and royalties received for the use of the Group's assets (such as platform technology and patent) are normally recognized in accordance with the substance of the agreement.
Revenues are recorded if the material risks and rewards associated with ownership of the goods/merchandise sold have been assigned to the buyer. This usually occurs upon the delivery of products and merchandise.
Revenue is recorded to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of the revenues can be reliably measured.
Government grants related to distribution projects are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received. Government grants are recorded at the value of the grant received and any difference between this value and the actual construction cost is recognized in profit or loss of the year in which the asset is released.
Government grants related to distribution assets are deducted from the related assets. They are recognized in statement of income on a systematic basic over the useful life of the related asset reducing the depreciation expense.
Deposits received from consumers, plus interest accrued and less any outstanding debt for past services, are refundable to the users when they cease using the electric energy service rendered by the Group. The Group has classified these deposits as current liabilities since the Group does not have legal rights to defer these payments in a period that exceed a year. However, the Group does not anticipate making significant payments in the next year.
In the power distribution industry, an entity may receive from its customer items in the form of property, plant and equipment that are used to connect these customers to a network with continuous access to power supply. Alternatively, an entity may receive cash from customers in return for the acquisition or construction of such items of property, plant and equipment. In such cases, where the Group determines that these items qualify for recognition as an asset, the transferred assets are recognized as part of the property plant and equipment in the statement of financial position in accordance with FRS 16 and measured its cost on initial recognition at its fair value.

The transfer of an item of property, plant and equipment would be an exchange for dissimilar goods or services. Consequently, the Group recognizes revenue in accordance with FRS 18. The timing of the recognition of the revenue arising from the transfer will depend on the separately identifiable service included in the agreement.
The Group has examined the characteristics, conditions and terms currently in effect under its electric energy distribution license and the guidelines established by INT FRS 112. On the basis of such analysis, the Group concluded that its license is outside the scope of INT FRS 112, primarily because the grantor does not control any significant residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the arrangement and the possibility of renewal.
The Group accounts for the assets acquired or constructed in relation to the Concessions in accordance with FRS 16 Property, plant and equipment.
Deposits received from customers, plus interest accrued and less any outstanding debt for past services, are refundable to the users when they cease using the electric energy service rendered by the Group. The Group has classified these deposits as current liabilities since the Group does not have legal rights to defer these payments in a period that exceed a year. However, the Group does not anticipate making significant payments in the next year.
Costs from energy purchases either acquired in the spot market or from contracts with suppliers are recorded on an accrual basis according to the energy actually delivered. Purchases of electric energy, including those which have not yet been billed as of the reporting date, are recorded based on estimates of the energy supplied at the prices prevailing in the spot market or agreed-upon in the respective purchase agreements, as the case may be.
Financing income includes income from interest on amounts invested and gains from exchange rate differences. Interest income is recognized as accrued, using the effective interest method.
Financing expenses include interest on loans received, commitment fees on borrowings, and changes in the fair value of derivatives financial instruments presented at fair value through profit or loss, and exchange rate losses. Borrowing costs, which are not capitalized, are recorded in the income statement using the effective interest method.
In the statements of cash flows, interest received is presented as part of cash flows from investing activities. Dividends received are presented as part of cash flows from operating activities. Interest paid and dividends paid are presented as part of cash flows from financing activities. Accordingly, financing costs that were capitalized to qualifying assets are presented together with interest paid as part of cash flows from financing activities. Gains and losses from exchange rate differences and gains and losses from derivative financial instruments are reported on a net basis as financing income or expenses, based on the fluctuations on the rate of exchange and their position (net gain or loss).
The Group's finance income and finance costs include:
Interest income; Interest expense; The net gain or loss on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets; The net gain or loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; The foreign currency gain or loss on financial assets and financial liabilities; The fair value loss on contingent consideration classified as financial liability; Impairment losses recognized on financial assets (other than trade receivables); The net gain or loss on hedging instruments that are recognized in profit or loss; and The reclassification of net gains previously recognized in OCI.
Interest income or expense is recognized using the effective interest method.

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in OCI.
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax liability arising from dividends.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for:
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profit improves.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
Management of the Group regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability, taking into consideration all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical pre-tax and taxable income, projected future pre-tax and taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. In arriving at these judgments, the weight given to the potential effect of all positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified.
Management believes the Group's tax positions are in compliance with applicable tax laws and regulations. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The Group believes that its liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, including related interest, are adequate in relation to the potential for additional tax assessments. There is a risk, however, that the amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of audits could be materially different from the amounts previously included in our income tax expense and, therefore, could have a material impact on our tax provision, net income and cash flows.
A provision for uncertain tax positions, including additional tax and interest expenses, is recognized when it is more probable than not that the Group will have to use its economic resources to pay the obligation.
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary share capital. The basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income or loss allocable to the Group's ordinary equity holders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The diluted earnings per share are determined by adjusting the income or loss allocable to ordinary equity holders and the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effect of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares including options for shares granted to employees.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares, net of any tax effects, are recognized as a deduction from equity.
The Group measures a liability to distribute non-cash assets as a dividend to the owners of the Group at the fair value of the assets to be distributed. The carrying amount of the dividend is remeasured at each reporting date and at the settlement date, with any changes recognized directly in equity as adjustments to the amount of the distribution. On settlement of the transaction, the Group recognized the difference, if any, between the carrying amounts of the assets distributed and the carrying amount of the liability in profit or loss. Distribution of non-cash assets are distributed to shareholders when the shareholder is given a choice of taking cash in lieu of the non-cash assets.
The Company's CEO and CFO are considered to be the Group's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). Based on the internal financial information provided to the CODM, the Group has determined that it has three reportable segments in 2016, which are I.C. Power Generation segment, I.C. Power Distribution segment and Qoros segment. In addition to the segments detailed above, the Group has other activities, such as a shipping services and renewable energy businesses categorized as Other.
The CODM evaluates the operating segments performance based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, financing income, income taxes and other items.
The CODM evaluates segment assets based on total assets and segment liabilities based on total liabilities.
The accounting policies used in the determination of the segment amounts are the same as those used in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statement, Intersegment pricing is determined based on transaction prices occurring in the ordinary course of business.
In determining of the information to be presented on a geographic basis, revenues are based on the geographic location of the customer and non-current assets are based on the geographic location of the assets.
Assets, liabilities and benefits with respect to which a transaction is executed with the controlling shareholders are measured at fair value on the transaction date. The Group records the difference between the fair value and the consideration in equity.
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2017, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except the following set out below:
1) Financial Reporting Standards FRS 109 "Financial Instruments" – the Standard replaces the existing guidance in FRS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. FRS 109 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from FRS 39.
The Standard is to be applied for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2018, with the possibility of early adoption. The Standard is to be applied retroactively, except in a number of circumstances. Management of the Group is examining the effects of FRS 109 on the financial statements with no plans for early adoption.
The Group has examined FRS 109 in order to determine the qualitative impacts of the implementation. As of 31 December 2016, the Group is not able to determine the quantitative impact and considers that the overall impact of the implementation of FRS 109 will be immaterial to the Group.
The examination of the potential qualitative impacts was conducted, considering the following three main areas of FRS 109:
There are no material impacts expected concerning the classification and measurement of financial assets due to the types of financial assets held by the Group entities. The Group does not hold complex financial assets nor enters in complex structured financing transaction such as securitization transactions, factoring-arrangements, etc.
In general, the most important financial assets of the Group, trade receivables, do not contain a significant financing component. Therefore, the simplified approach as established in FRS 109 is recommended to be applied. According to FRS 109, provision matrix may be used to estimate expected credit losses ("ECL") for these financial instruments without the use of hindsight of a default, and the matrix would include expectations of variations in credit risks of customers for the lifetime. Thus, the recognition of losses would be based on the maximum period over which ECL which is the maximum contractual period over which the entity is exposed to credit risk from the first day of the recognition of the receivable.
The Group expects that the application of FRS 109 will impact both power generation and distribution businesses, but substantially on the distribution business due to the underlying characteristics of this business with numerous private customers with different credit characteristics, compared to the generation business with regulated customers and only few non-regulated customers, resulting in:
Changes to the current matrix, including historical and forward looking information.
With consideration of both FRS 107 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures" and FRS 109, it introduces new disclosure requirements to disclosures relating to an impairment.
c) Hedge Accounting
The Group has not decided on continuing with the hedge accounting requirements under FRS 109 "Financial Instruments" or to adopt the new hedge accounting requirements under FRS 109. If the Group decides to apply the new hedge accounting requirements, it would require the Group to restore balance or equilibrium to existing hedges on transition to fulfill the new effectiveness requirements under the new hedge accounting requirements. The resulting gain or loss would be recognized in profit and loss. The applicable will be in relation to Cardones' and Amayo's interest rate swap derivatives.
d) Modification of financial liabilities measured at amortized cost that do not result in de-recognition
When a financial liability measured at amortized cost is modified without this resulting in de-recognition, a gain or loss should be recognized in profit or loss. Therefore the Group should evaluate the changes to the current accounting policy and should estimate the impacts resulting from the retrospective application from modification gains and losses arising from financial liability from Kallpa bond issuance that are still recognized at the date of initial application of FRS 109, adjustments might have need to be calculated and recorded through opening retained earnings on transition.
2) Financial Reporting Standards FRS 115 "Revenues from Contracts with Customers" – the Standard replaces (FRS 18 "Revenue") the presently existing guidelines regarding recognition of revenue from contracts with customers and provides two approaches for recognition of revenue: at one point in time or over time. The model includes five stages for analysis of transactions in order to determine the timing of recognition of the revenue and the amount thereof. In addition, the Standard provides new disclosure requirements that are more extensive that those currently in effect.
The Standard is to be applied for annual periods commencing on January 1, 2018, with the possibility of early adoption. The Standard includes various alternatives with respect to the transitional rules, such that companies may choose one of the following alternatives when applying the Standard for the first time: full retroactive application, full retroactive application with practical relaxations or application of the Standard commencing from the initial application date, while adjusting the balance of the retained earnings as at this date for transactions that have not yet been completed.
The Group has conducted an initial assessment in order to determine the qualitative impacts of the implementation of FRS 115. As of December 31, 2016, the Group is not able to determine quantitative impacts, however, under a qualitative point of view it is expected to have impacts in the following aspects, which are described below according to areas affected by the new standard and for each business unit.
With respect to the power generation business, the Group expects impacts on the following:
Transaction price: The Group's contracts with customers contain variable factors that may affect its cash flow, such as stepped pricing, volume discounts, adjustments based on fuel price or operating conditions of Sistema Eléctrico Interconectado Nacional del Peru ("SEIN") and penalties. All these features may impact the determination of the transaction price, thus, the Group expects the application of a high degree of judgment to estimate the amount of these variable consideration.
Allocation of the transaction price: For the allocation of the transaction price, the Group expects certain challenges to determine the stand alone selling prices of the several performance obligations. The Group expects to apply significant judgment to determine the stand-alone selling price for the supply energy and the other performance obligations that are not being separately recognized.
Recognition of revenue: Apart from the separation of the transaction prices in various performance obligations, the Group expects no significant impact in the timing of the revenue recognition of the major service (energy and capacity supply), this corresponds to a series of different promises that may be treated as a single performance obligation that may be recognized overtime, similar to the current treatment.
Other matters: the Group expects an enhancement in the disclosures that relates to revenue. In addition, with respect to transition, the Group plans to evaluate the results of the initial quantification of the impacts of the new standard for decision-making about the transition method to be applied.
With respect to the distribution business, the Group expects impacts on the following topics:
Treatment of modifications of contracts as described in the preceding generation business section above.
Performance obligations: Some new performance obligations has been identified, for example, certain administrative activities that the Group carries out on behalf of some customers (municipalities). However, the Group estimate this may be considered as not material obligations.
Transaction price: The Group identifies variable consideration associated with unbilled energy. Although, this concept is currently recognized as revenue, it is expected to change the method to quantify it. In addition, considering the collectability criteria are met for those contracts, there is a significant financing component concerning contracts with customers with payment agreements. These agreements allow the customers to pay in arrears (ranging from 8 to 120 months). The practical expedient to not adjust the transaction price for the time value of money cannot be used for payment terms which establish that the period between performance and payment for that performance is more than one year. Another impact is the determination of the discount rate. This rate should reflect the individual credit risk of the specific customer. To date, the discount rate used is that published quarterly by the Regulator, Comisión Nacional de Energía Eléctrica ("CNEE").
Allocation of the transaction price: Similar to the generation business.
Other matters: the Group expects an enhancement in the disclosures that relates to revenue. In addition, with respect to transition, the Group plans to evaluate the results of the initial quantification of the impacts of the new standard for decision-making about the transition method to be applied.
In addition, the Group is currently evaluating the impacts on internal controls and processes. The next steps include the preparation of an implementation plan and further trainings to the employees in order to ensure a successful implementation.
3) Financial Reporting Standards FRS 116 "Leases" - replaces FRS 17 "Leases". FRS 116's instructions annul the existing requirement from lessees to classify leases as operating or finance leases. Instead of this, for lessees, the new standard presents a unified model for the accounting treatment of all leases according to which the lessee has to recognize an asset and liability in respect of the lease in its financial statements. Similarly, the standard determines new and expanded disclosure requirements from those required at present. The standard will become effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2019, with the possibility of early adoption, so long as the Group has also early adopted FRS 115 "Revenue from contracts with customers". The standard includes a number of alternatives for the implementation of transitional provisions, so that companies can choose one of the following alternatives at the implementation date: full retrospective implementation or implementation from the effective date while adjusting the balance of retained earnings at that date.
The Group's initial assessment is in progress to examine the impacts for future implementation of FRS 116.
As part of its accounting policies and disclosure requirements, management of the Group is required to determine the fair value of both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The fair values have been determined for purposes of measurement and/or disclosure based on the following methods. Additional information regarding the assumptions used in determining the fair values is disclosed in the notes relating to that asset or liability. A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values.
When relevant observable market data does not exist, or when observable inputs require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, fair values are determined using a valuation technique based primarily on the Company's internal assumptions about future cash flows and appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates. Regardless of the valuation technique used, that technique should not ignore relevant information and reflect appropriate risk adjustments that market participants would make for credit and liquidity risks.
Based on each valuation scenario, management of the Group will decide on the use of observable transaction prices to the extent they represent the fair value of the instrument and consider using unobservable inputs when it is more appropriate than using observable inputs. If they do not represent the fair value of the instrument, and significant adjustments need to be made to the observable transaction prices, it might be more appropriate for the Group to use a valuation technique based on unobservable inputs.
In other scenarios, multiple inputs from different sources may collectively provide the best evidence of fair value with the expected cash flows considered alongside such information. The weighting of these inputs in the fair value measurement would depend on the extent to which they provide information about the fair value of the instrument and are relevant in developing a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The Group measures the value of the acquired assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities considering the fair value basis from the date on which the Group took control. The criteria considered to measure the fair value of the main items were the following:
Fixed assets were valued considering the market value provided by an appraiser;
Intangibles consider the valuation of Concessions;
Deferred taxes were valued based on the temporary differences between the accounting and tax basis of the business combination;
Non-controlling interests were measured as a proportional basis of the net assets identified on the acquisition date
Intangibles consider the valuation of its Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs); and,
Contingent liabilities were determined over the average probability established by third party legal processes.
See Note 14.C.
See Note 30 regarding "Financial Instruments".
Non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at their respective fair values, at initial recognition and for disclosure purposes, at each reporting date. Fair value for disclosure purposes, is determined based on the quoted trading price in the market for traded debentures, whereas for non-traded loans, debentures and other financial liabilities is determined by discounting the future cash flows in respect of the principal and interest component using the market interest rate as at the date of the report.

With the continuous deterioration in the shipping business environment and volatile bunker prices, ZIM's management continues to improve its operational results and liquidity position by optimizing ZIM's network rationalizations including establishment of new partnerships, invest in upgrading customer services and constantly strive to create and maintain efficiencies and cost reductions.
However, continuation of this trend could negatively affect the entire industry and also affect the ZIM's business, financial position, assets value, results of operations, cash flows and compliance with certain financial covenants.
As of December 31, 2016, ZIM had a net deficit of \$101 million (compared to net equity of \$79 million as of December 31, 2015) and it had negative working capital of \$65 million (compared to positive working capital of \$5 million as of December 31, 2015).
During the year ended December 31, 2016, ZIM incurred an operating loss of \$52 million (compared to operating profit of \$98 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 and net loss of \$164 million (compared to net profit of \$7 million during the year ended December 31, 2015).
As at December 31, 2016, ZIM complies with its amended financial covenants, ZIM's liquidity amounts to \$182 million (Minimum Liquidity required is \$125 million) - see also Note 10.C.a.2 (ii).

In order to improve its financial position and liquidity, ZIM took the following steps:
(i) ZIM approached some of its creditors and lessors of vessels and equipment, for the purpose of rescheduling payments.
Below are the main components of the agreements reached:
The binding approvals of these agreements were obtained and the modified terms of these agreements were applied in ZIM's financial statements in the fourth quarter. In this respect, certain agreements of containers leases previously classified as operational leases were reclassified as financial leases, resulting in recognition of additional assets and liabilities in a total amount of \$73 million.
ZIM's financial position, liquidity and the risk of deviation from financial covenants depend on the recovery of the shipping industry and especially the freight rates. Current economic conditions make forecasting difficult, and there is possibility that actual performance may be materially different from ZIM's management plans and expectations.
In the opinion of ZIM's management and its Board of Directors, the updated forecast and the abovementioned actions with regards to rescheduling of payments and covenants amendment, enables ZIM to meet its liabilities and operational needs and to comply with the new set of financial covenants for a period of at least 12 months following the balance sheet date.
As of June 30, 2016, ZIM tested its assets for impairment based on FRS 36, where ZIM operates an integrated liner network, as one cash-generating unit ("CGU"). ZIM estimated its recoverable amount on the basis of fair value less costs to sell, using the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method, measured at Level 3 fair value measurement under FRS 113 "Fair Value Measurement". The impairment test resulted with a recoverable amount exceeding the carrying amount of the CGU with a range between \$291 million and \$330 million, and therefore no impairment was recognized. Although ZIM believes the assumptions used for impairment are reasonable and acceptable, no assurance can be made against the level of bunker prices and freight rates sustainability.
Kenon, independently and separately from ZIM, appointed a third-party to perform a valuation of its 32% equity investment in ZIM in accordance with FRS 28 Investments in Associates and FRS 36 Impairment of Assets. On October 3, 2016 Kenon concluded that as of June 30, 2016, the carrying amount of the investment in ZIM is higher than the recoverable amount, and therefore, Kenon recognized impairment losses of \$72 million in its financial statements in respect of its investment in ZIM.
The impairment losses recognized by Kenon was mainly in relation to goodwill and other fair value adjustments recognized by Kenon as part of its investment in ZIM.
For the purposes of management's impairment evaluation of the Group's investment, ZIM, which operates integrated network liner activity, has one CGU, which consists of all of ZIM's assets. The recoverable amount is based on the higher of the value in use and the fair value less cost of disposal ("FVLCOD"). The valuation is predominantly based on publicly available information and earnings of ZIM over the 12-month periods to both March and June 2016. The valuation approach was based on the equity method, recognizing the cost of investment and share of losses in ZIM, and subsequently to assess a maintainable level of earnings to form a view on the appropriate valuation range as at June 30, 2016.
During the recent valuation, due to the uncertainty experienced in shipping sector, and a limited evidence of a sustained industry recovery as at June 30, 2016, the following data points and benchmarks were considered by the independent valuer:
The independent valuer arrived at a range of equity valued between \$60 - \$120 million after adjustments for Net Debt. The fair value measurement was categorized as Level 3 fair value based on the inputs in the valuation technique used.
Based on the valuation range abovementioned, Kenon adopted the mid-point value of \$90 million to appropriately reflect the relevant carrying value of Kenon's investment in ZIM as at June 30, 2016.

During 2015, Kenon and Chery each, through a subsidiary, provided a RMB800 million (\$130 million) convertible loan to Qoros to support its ongoing development.
Qoros had given careful consideration to the future of liquidity of Qoros and its available sources of finance in assessing whether Qoros will have sufficient financial resources to continue as a going concern, with unused bank loan facilities of RMB 205 million (approximately \$29 million) as at 31 December 2016, with plans to refinance most of its short-term loans in 2017.
a. Overview
On April 22 and September 2, 2016, Ansonia Holdings Singapore B.V. ("Ansonia"), which owns approximately 58% of the outstanding shares of Kenon, entered an agreement to provide loans ("Ansonia loans") in an aggregate amount of up to RMB 450 million (\$72 million) with an interest rate of 6% per annum, subjected to late payment penalty interest calculated by increasing the prevailing loan interest rate to 120%, through Quantum, to support Qoros. Wuhu Chery completed its provision of loans to Qoros in the same amount and on similar conditions. Set forth below is an overview of the Ansonia loans as of December 31, 2016:
| Date Granted | RMB million | Plus certain interest | Convertible into Equity Discount Rate 1 |
Loan Transfer Date from Quantum to Qoros 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tranche 1 / Apr 2016 | 150 | May 20, 2016 | ||
| Tranche 2 / Apr 2016 | 150 | 6% | 10% | June 28, 2016 |
| Tranche 3 / Sep 2016 | 150 | 25% | September 6, 2016 | |
| Total | 450 (\$72 million) |
To facilitate potential investment by a third party in Qoros, Ansonia loans are automatically convertible into equity in Quantum in the event of a third-party financing at Qoros meets certain conditions, or when Ansonia loans are repaid in relation to such third-party financing. The loans will be convertible into equity of Quantum at a 10% (Tranche 1 and 2) and at a 25% discount (Tranche 3) discount to the implied value of Qoros based upon the third-party financing.
Loans carry the same term of 9 months from the first transfer date
As of December 31, 2016, Kenon engaged a third party to perform the fair value of the Ansonia loans that amounted to RMB 450 million (approximately \$72 million) and were valued at approximately RMB 303 million (\$45 million; loan \$16 million and equity derivative \$29 million). The accounting for Ansonia loans at fair value gain are measured in accordance with FRS 39.
Upon the conversion, Kenon's indirect interest in Qoros will be diluted. From the point of the conversion until the third anniversary of such conversion, Ansonia will have the option to convert its equity in Quantum into an equivalent value of equity in Qoros, subject to regulatory acceptance, Qoros', Chery's and Wuhu Chery's approvals.
In view of Qoros' financing needs, Kenon believes that the amendment of the Loan Agreement to facilitate the Third Tranche, is in the best interests of Kenon and its shareholders. As Ansonia is a major shareholder in Kenon, this transaction has been reviewed and approved by Kenon in accordance with its related party transaction policy.
On June 30, 2016, Kenon increased its previously recognized provision of \$30 million to \$160 million in respect to Kenon's "back-to-back" guarantee obligations to Chery (RMB1,100 million), in respect of guarantees that Chery has given for Qoros' bank debt and has pledged a portion of its interests in Qoros to secure Qoros' bank debt. In addition to the current liquidity needs of Qoros, its financial position and Kenon's strategic intent, the provision was made due to uncertainty in the Chinese automobile market. As a result, Kenon recognized a \$130 million charge to expense for such financial guarantees in its consolidated statement of profit or loss in 2016.
These back-to-back guarantees consist of (i) a back-to-back guarantee of one-half of the principal amount of Chery's guarantee of RMB1.5 billion with respect to Qoros' RMB3 billion facility, and (ii) a back-to-back guarantee of one-half of the principal amount of Chery's guarantee of Qoros' RMB700 million facility, and interest and fees, if applicable.
On December 25, 2016. Kenon has agreed to provide a RMB250 million (approximately \$36 million) shareholder loan to Qoros, and in relation to this loan, the maximum amount of Kenon's back-to-back guarantee obligations to Chery has been reduced by RMB250 million as follows. As part of the loan to Qoros, Kenon's back-to-back guarantee obligations to Chery with respect to Chery's guarantee of Qoros' RMB3 billion loan facility with the Export-Import Bank of China ("EXIM Bank") have been reduced by one third, and the maximum amount of Kenon's obligations under this back-to-back guarantee (subject to certain obligations to negotiate fees and interest described in the table below) has been reduced from RMB750 million to RMB500 million (approximately \$72 million). In addition, Ansonia has committed to fund RMB25 million (approximately \$4 million) of Kenon's remaining back-to-back guarantee obligations to Chery in certain circumstances ("Ansonia Commitment").
As at December 31, 2016, Kenon's back-to-back guarantee obligations to Chery is RMB 850 million including any interest and charges (approximately \$119 million).
Chery has agreed to make a corresponding RMB250 million loan to Qoros. The proceeds of these loans will be used to support Qoros' ordinary course working capital requirements and Qoros' investments in new initiatives, such as new-energy vehicles, while it continues its fund raising efforts.
As part of this transaction, Quantum has pledged approximately 9% of the outstanding shares of Qoros to Chery to secure the amount of the back-to-back guarantee reduction. Chery may also borrow from Quantum up to 5% of Qoros' outstanding shares to meet its pledge obligations under a Qoros RMB 1.2 billion loan facility with EXIM Bank. The number of Qoros shares pledged to Chery is subject to adjustment from time to time. In certain circumstances Quantum must pledge additional shares (to the extent it has unencumbered shares), and in other circumstances the pledged shares may be released and the borrowed shares must be returned, e.g., in the event that Quantum is required to pledge additional shares to secure the RMB1.2 billion EXIM Bank facility (Quantum has previously pledged a significant portion of its Qoros shares to secure Qoros' obligations under Qoros' RMB 1.2 billion loan facility with EXIM Bank).
Kenon has been informed that, in order to facilitate Kenon's above mentioned reduction in Kenon's back-to-back guarantee obligations to Chery, an affiliate of Kenon's major shareholder has given certain undertakings to Chery with respect to the released guarantee obligations.

a. Set forth below is an overview of the guarantees provided by Kenon in respect of Qoros' debt as of December 31, 2016:

In the event that Chery's liability under its guarantee exceeds RMB1.5 billion, Kenon has committed to negotiate with Chery in good faith to find a solution so that Kenon's and Chery's liabilities for the indebtedness of Qoros under this credit facility are equal in proportion. This is subject to the reduction of Kenon's back-to-back guarantee obligations by one-third as described above.
Following the reduction in back-to-back guarantee obligations of Kenon as described above, Kenon's maximum guarantee obligations (subject to certain obligations to negotiate fees and interest.) in respect of Qoros' RMB3 billion facility have been reduced to RMB500 million. Pursuant to the Ansonia Commitment described above, Ansonia has agreed to pay up to RMB25 million (approximately \$4 million) to Kenon in certain circumstances in the event that Kenon is required to make payments on its back-to-back guarantees under the RMB3 billion facility; any payment by Ansonia would be made only after all obligations under Kenon's back-to-back guarantees in excess of the amount of the Ansonia Commitment have been satisfied. Giving effect to the Ansonia Commitment, Kenon's effective maximum guarantee obligations are RMB475 million.
On March 10, 2017, Kenon announces that it has agreed to fund up to RMB777 million (approximately \$114 million) to Qoros in relation to the full release of its remaining RMB825 million (approximately \$125 million) back-to-back guarantee obligations to Chery in two tranches, which releases Kenon from commitments to pay any related interest and fees to Chery under the guarantees.
On March 10, 2017, Kenon transferred RMB388.5 million (approximately \$57 million) ("First Tranche Loans") to Qoros in relation to a reduction of RMB425 million (approximately \$63 million) of Kenon's back-to-back guarantee obligations to Chery, including related interest and fees and the provision of the Second Tranche Loans shall be at Kenon's discretion.
As part of the First Tranche Loans, in relation to 50% reduction of the guarantee, Kenon funded 50% for Kenon and 50% on behalf of Chery. Kenon will also pledge Qoros shares to Chery (as discussed below) in relation to the remaining 50% of the guarantee reduction.
Kenon agreed to provide an additional RMB388.5 million to Qoros (the "Second Tranche Loans") on similar terms (subject to the signing of additional agreements and certain other conditions) in relation to a further RMB425 million reduction in its back-to-back guarantees, which will release Kenon completely from all of its back-to-back guarantee obligations to Chery.
In the event that Chery's obligations under its guarantees are reduced, through amortization of the loans or guarantee releases, Kenon is entitled to the proportionate return from Chery of the loans provided on Chery's behalf (i.e., up to RMB388.5 million (approximately \$57 million) with respect to the First Tranche Loans and the Second Tranche Loans) and the release of the pledges described above.
Quantum will pledge approximately 10.3% of the outstanding shares of Qoros to Chery in relation to 50% of the guarantee releases, which pledges are enforceable to the extent Kenon would have been required to make payments under such guarantees but for the guarantee releases.

In addition, Chery may also borrow from Quantum 5% of Qoros' outstanding shares in relation to Kenon's provision of the First Tranche Loans and the Second Tranche Loans. The number of Qoros shares pledged to Chery which are borrowed from Quantum is subject to adjustment from time to time.
Set forth below is an overview of the RMB850 million back-to-back guarantees provided by Kenon in respect of Qoros' indebtedness, reflecting the reduction of the back-to-back guarantees described above:

Kenon's major shareholder Ansonia Holdings Singapore B.V. has committed to fund RMB25 million (approximately \$4 million) of Kenon's back-to-back guarantee obligations in certain circumstances.
Excludes up to 5% of Qoros shares which Chery may borrow from Quantum to meet its pledge obligations under the Qoros RMB1.2 billion loan facility, as discussed above. 3. Plus interest and fees.
Following the pledges above, and taking account of prior pledges by Quantum of Qoros shares to Qoros' lenders and to Chery, substantially all of Kenon's interest in Qoros will be pledged, or could be pledged pursuant to the equity borrowing arrangements with Chery described above.
The proceeds of the First Tranche Loans will be used to support Qoros' ordinary course working capital requirements, debt service requirements and investments in new initiatives, such as new-energy vehicles, while Qoros continues its fund raising efforts. The transactions enable Kenon to support Qoros and its fundraising efforts, while reducing its back-to-back guarantee obligations to Chery.
a. In July 2012, Chery provided a guarantee to the banks, in the amount of RMB1.5 billion (\$242 million), in relation to an agreement with the banks to provide Qoros a loan, in the amount of RMB3 billion (\$482 million). In November 2015, Kenon has provided back-to-back guarantees to Chery of RMB750 million (approximately \$115 million) in respect of certain of Qoros' indebtedness and has committed to negotiate with Chery in good faith to find a solution so that Kenon's and Chery's liabilities for the indebtedness of Qoros under Qoros' RMB3 billion credit facility are equal in proportion; Kenon has similarly agreed to try to find an acceptable solution in respect of Kenon's and Chery's liabilities for the indebtedness of Qoros under Qoros' 1.5 RMB billion facility, but without any obligation on Kenon to be liable for more than the amount set forth in its back-to-back guarantee to Chery. As a result, if Qoros is unable to meet its operating expenses or is unable to comply with the terms of certain of its debt agreements, Kenon may be required to make payments under its guarantees to Chery. In a back-toback arrangement Kenon committed to Chery to pay half of every amount it will be required to pay with respect to the above-mentioned guarantee ("the 2012 Guarantee"). The fair value of the guarantee has been recorded in the financial statements.
Prior to Kenon's spin-off from IC, IC provided the 2012 Guarantee to Qoros. This guarantee by IC is a back-to-back guarantee of Chery's guarantee of up to RMB1.5 billion (approximately \$240 million) under this credit facility, and the obligation of IC under this back-to-back guarantee is up to RMB888 million (approximately \$142 million), including related interest and fees. In relation to Kenon's spin-off from IC, IC continued to provide this guarantee and Kenon entered into a\$200 million credit facility with IC, and to the extent that IC is required to make payments under its back-to-back guarantee in respect of Qoros' credit facility, the amount of the loans owed by Kenon to IC under the credit facility will be increased accordingly.
On February 12, 2015, Kenon has agreed to provide a RMB400 million (approximately \$64 million) loan to Qoros to support its ongoing development, and in relation to the provision of this loan, IC's back-to-back guarantee of Qoros' debt was released in full. Chery's guarantee under the Qoros facility of up to RMB1.5 billion (approximately \$240 million) is not being released in relation to the release of IC's back-to-back guarantees and, as described above, in November 2015 Kenon has provided back-to-back guarantees to Chery of RMB750 million.
With relation to the above, Kenon provided a RMB350 million (\$54 million) guarantee of this financing agreement to Chery for up to 50% of Chery's Guarantee. As at December 31, 2016, Qoros had drawn down the Facility of RMB700 million (\$108 million) with an interest rate of 5.39% (RMB 700 million as at December 31, 2015). The fair value of the guarantee has been recorded in the financial statements.
d. On May 15, 2015, Kenon and Chery each provided a RMB400 million (\$65 million) loan to Qoros to support its ongoing development. RMB25 million (\$5 million) of each loan can be converted into equity on conditions set out in the agreement. As a result, Kenon's ownership percentage in Qoros will not increase upon Qoros' full, or partial, conversion of Kenon's RMB400 million (\$65 million) shareholder loan into equity.
Kenon expects all, or a portion, of the shareholder loans to convert into additional equity in Qoros upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the approval by the relevant Chinese authority.
Kenon funded the RMB400 million (\$65 million) shareholder loan through drawdowns of \$65 million under a Credit Facility with its former parent, IC as disclosed in Note 1.B.
e. On July 31, 2014, in order to secure additional funding for Qoros of approximately RMB 1.2 billion (\$200 million as of August 7, 2014) IC pledged a portion of its shares (including dividends derived therefrom) in Qoros, in proportion to its share in Qoros's capital, in favor of the Chinese bank providing Qoros with such financing. Simultaneously, the subsidiary of Chery that holds Chery's rights in Qoros also pledged a proportionate part of its rights in Qoros. Such financing agreement includes, inter alia, liabilities, provisions regarding covenants, events of immediate payment and/or early payment for violations and/or events specified in the agreement. The lien agreement includes, inter alia, provisions concerning the ratio of securities and the pledging of further securities in certain circumstances, including pledges of up to all of Quantum's shares in Qoros (or cash), provisions regarding events that would entitle the Chinese Bank to exercise the lien, certain representations and covenants, and provisions regarding the registration and approval of the lien.
As part of the reduction of guarantee obligations in Note 10.C.b.7, Kenon has pledged approximately 9% of the outstanding shares of Qoros to Chery to secure the amount of the back-toback guarantee reduction. Chery may also borrow from Kenon up to 5% of Qoros' outstanding shares to meet its pledge obligations under the abovementioned RMB 1.2 billion loan facility. As of December 31, 2016, in relation to this loan facility of RMB 1.2 billion, Kenon and Chery have each pledged 22.6% of its equity interest in Qoros.
a. In September 2014, Qoros' board of directors reviewed a business development plan for the next ten years. Subsequently, Qoros' board of directors approved a five-year business plan, which reflected lower forecasted sales volumes and assumed the minimal level of capital expenditure necessary for such sales volumes. As a result, Qoros management performed impairment tests in October 2015 and February 2016. In March 2017, Qoros' board of directors approved a new business development plan for the next five years. As a result, Qoros management performed impairment tests in March 2017 on Qoros' operating assets as of December 31, 2016 and intangible assets.
Based on Qoros' 2017 business plan, cash flow forecast, unutilised bank loan facilities and the plan to refinance the existing short term loans, Qoros' is projected to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its liabilities over the next twelve months from 31 December 2016. In preparing the cash flow forecast, Qoros considered the unused bank loan facilities of RMB 205 million (approximately \$29 million), the roll forward of its short-term loans from banks, and Qoros' management opinion that the assumptions which are included in the cash flow forecast are reasonable. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In the event where Qoros is unable to continue as a going concern, then this could have a material impact on Qoros' ability to realise their assets at their recognised values and to fulfill liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements.
The recoverable amount of this CGU containing the intangible asset which is not available for use yet has been determined based on fair value less costs of disposal using discounted cash flow projections. These calculations were based on the cash flow projections from the 2017 business plan approved by management covering a five-year period ending 31 December 2021 and the terminal value. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using an estimated weighted average growth rate of 3% which is consistent with the forecasts included in independent expert report. The growth rates used do not exceed the long-term average growth rates for the business in which the CGU operates.
Qoros concluded that the recoverable amount of its CGU was higher than the carrying value (adjusted for depreciation and amortization). The recoverable amount was determined based on fair value of Qoros' assets less the costs of disposal and its value in use, using discounted cashflow method. Therefore, no impairment was recognized in Qoros' December 31, 2016 financial statements in respect of its CGU.
Although Qoros believes the assumptions used to evaluate the potential impairment of its assets are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are highly subjective. There can be no assurance as to future levels of cars produced or sold by Qoros, the development of Qoros' distribution and dealer network, and Qoros' utilization of its facility.
The analysis for the impairment test is sensitive to variances in each of the assumptions used and if the assumptions used by Qoros to evaluate the potential impairment of its assets change, Qoros may recognize significant impairment charges in its financial statements in the future. Qoros management has determined that the forecasted volume of sales and Qoros' receipt of certain subsidies from local Chinese governments are the most important elements of Qoros' business plan and accordingly are the most sensitive key assumptions for which there reasonably could be a possible change that could cause the carrying amount of Qoros' CGU to exceed the recoverable amount.
The conclusion of its asset evaluation and future liquidity from available sources of finance through, renewal of borrowings, rollover financing, additional shareholder loans and steps to improve its working capital, provides Qoros its future financial resources.

Qoros has restrictions with respect to distribution of dividends and sale of assets deriving from legal and regulatory restrictions, restrictions under the joint venture agreement and the Articles of Association and restrictions stemming from credit received.
The holders of ordinary shares of ZIM are entitled to receive dividends when declared and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of ZIM. All shares rank equally with regard to the ZIM's residual assets, except as disclosed below.
In the framework of the process of privatizing ZIM, all the State of Israel's holdings in ZIM (about 48.6%) were acquired by IC pursuant to an agreement from February 5, 2004. As part of the process, ZIM allotted to the State of Israel a special State share so that it could protect the vital interests of the State.
On July 14, 2014 the State and ZIM have reached a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") that has been validated as a judgment by the Supreme Court. The Settlement Agreement provides, inter alia, the following arrangement shall apply: State's consent is required to any transfer of the shares in ZIM which confers on the holder a holding of 35% and more of the ZIM's share capital. In addition, any transfer of shares which confers on the holders a holding exceeding 24% but not exceeding 35%, shall require prior notice to the State. To the extent the State determines that the transfer involves a potential damage to the State's security or any of its vital interests or if the State did not receive the relevant information in order to formulate a decision regarding the transfer, the State shall be entitled to inform, within 30 days, that it objects to the transfer, and it will be required to reason its objection. In such an event, the transferor shall be entitled to approach a competent court on this matter.
The Special State Share, and the permit which accompanies it, also imposes transferability restrictions on our equity interest in ZIM. Furthermore, although there are no contractual restrictions on any sales of our shares by our controlling shareholders, if major shareholders' ownership interest in Kenon (controlling shareholders of Kenon) is less than 36%, or major shareholders cease to be the controlling shareholder, or sole controlling shareholder of Kenon, then Kenon's rights with respect to its shares in ZIM (e.g., Kenon's right to vote and receive dividends in respect of its ZIM shares),will be limited to the rights applicable to an ownership of 24% of ZIM, until or unless the State of Israel provides its consent, or does not object to, this decrease in major shareholders' ownership or "control" (as defined in the State of Israel consent received by IC in relation to the spin-off). The State of Israel may also revoke Kenon's permit if there is a material change in the facts upon which the State of Israel's consent was based, upon a breach of the provisions of the Special State Share by Kenon, Mr. Ofer, or ZIM, or if the cancellation of the provisions of the Special State Share with respect to a person holding shares in ZIM contrary to the Special State Share's provisions apply (without limitation).
The Special State Share is non-transferable. Except for the rights attached to the said share, it does not confer upon its holder voting rights or any share capital related rights.
On December 29, 2015, I.C. Power Distribution Holdings Pte Ltd ("ICP Distribution") entered into an agreement with Deorsa-Deocsa Holdings Ltd. to acquire 100% of the shares of Estrella Cooperatief BA, a holding company that indirectly owned two distribution companies in Guatemala (90.6% of Distribuidora de Electricidad de Occidente S.A.-DEOCSA and 92.68% of Distribuidora de Electricidad de Oriente S.A.-DEORSA) and 100% of two smaller related businesses (Redes Electricas de Centroamerica S.A.-RECSA and Comercializadora Guatemalteca Mayorista de Electricidad S.A.-GUATEMEL), collectively referred as "Energuate" for a purchase price equal to (i) the base purchase price, plus (ii) the deferred payment, and (iii) the final adjustment amount.

I.C. Power has measured the value of the acquired assets and liabilities at fair value on January 22, 2016, the date in which the Company gained control over Estrella Cooperatief BA. Additional information regarding the fair value measurement of the main items acquired is as follows:
Goodwill arising from the acquisition has been recognized as follows:
| \$ thousands | |
|---|---|
| Total consideration transferred | 266,286 |
| Non-controlling interest | 20,325 |
| Fair value of identifiable net assets | (249,509) |
| Goodwill* | 37,102 |
* This amount is not deductible for tax purposes and was determined in Guatemalan Quetzals.
Goodwill is explained by the strategic interest of I.C. Power to expand its presence in distribution business. The goodwill is attributable mainly to the synergy from the acquisition of the complimentary business in I.C. Power.
During the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2016, the revenues and profit or loss contributed by Estrella Cooperatief BA. to the consolidated results are \$515 million and \$29 million respectively. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2016, the Group's management estimates that consolidated revenue would have been \$551 million, and consolidated profit for the period would be \$30 million. In determining these amounts, it was assumed that the fair value adjustments, determined provisionally, that arose on the date of acquisition would have been the same if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2016.

Inkia´s subsidiaries have no restrictions to transfer cash or other assets to the parent company as long as each subsidiary is in compliance with the covenants derived from the borrowing agreements described in Note 15.
OPC originally had restrictions to transfer cash or paid dividends up to the third anniversary of Construction Completion. On October 13, 2015, OPC and its senior lenders amended this restriction in order to allow OPC to transfer cash and pay dividends, which ended on June 30, 2015. Therefore, on October 19, 2015, OPC paid NIS 295 million (equivalent to \$77 million). Out of this total, NIS 222 million (equivalent to \$58 million) was paid as repayment of capital notes and NIS 73 million (equivalent to \$19 million) as intercompany loan.
Inkia has restrictions to transfer cash or other assets to I.C. Power. Pursuant to its senior notes agreement, dividend payments are treated as restricted payments and are subject to mainly the following conditions:

(1) During the period ended December 31, 2016, the Group acquired assets with a cost of \$319 million, mainly for the construction of the Cerro del Aguila and Samay facilities and acquired assets for an amount of \$392 million in relation to Estrella Corporation BA business combination (See Note 11.A.1.a).
(2) During the period ended December 31, 2015, the Group acquired assets with a cost of \$576 million and \$9 million in relation to AIE business combinations (See Note 11.A.1.b).

The total net carrying value of the identified damaged parts from Units 2, 3 and 4 amounts to \$14.2 million and these damaged parts were determined to have no future or disposal value. Consequently, during 2016, Samay I recognized an impairment charge for the net carrying value of these assets.
Samay I´s management has developed a plan to repair the units, and, based upon current estimates, it is expected that all four units should be operational within the next six months. Samay I´s management intends to seek coverage for the costs of the outage, including repair costs and loss of profits, as appropriate, from the EPC contractor, equipment manufacturer and/or the insurance coverage (subject to deductibles), and believes there is a reasonable basis to recover these costs, including for loss of profits. The EPC Contract establishes that the cost of remedying any defects in order to provide Samay with a fully functional plant are to be borne by the EPC Contractor, unless proven by the EPC Contractor that the cause of failure was not attributable to it. In addition, Samay I carries a property damage and business interruption insurance coverage for its assets to protect against all risks of direct physical loss or damage including machinery breakdown, earthquake and other main risks associated with the operation of the plant. The coverage includes (1) property damage with a limit of \$293.5 million and (2) business interruption with a 18-month indemnity period with a limit of \$72.6 million. Samay's management deems that this event is covered by the insurance policy. Therefore, as of December 31, 2016, it recognized a receivable of \$8.8 million representing the original amount of \$14.2 million equivalent to the value of the damaged parts less the value of replacements parts and net of the insurance deductibles, see Note 8.

For the purpose of testing impairment, goodwill is allocated to the Group's cash-generating units that represent the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
Goodwill arises from the following Group entities in I.C. Power (cash generating unit):

* Goodwill in Colombia's, Israel's and Guatamalan's subsidiaries recorded in Columbian pesos, New Israeli shekels and Guatamalan Quetzales, respectively; translated into US dollars at the exchange rate at the reporting date.
The recoverable amount of each CGU is based on the estimated value in use using discounted cash flows. The cash flows are derived from the 5-year budget.
The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount are shown below. The values assigned to key assumptions represent management of the Group´s assessment of future trends in the power sector and have been based on historic data from external and internal sources.
| 2016 | 2015 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | In percent | |
| Peru | 6.7 | 7.4 |
| Energuate | 8.9 | — |
| El Salvador | 9.8 | 10.0 |
| Colombia | 8.2 | 9.2 |
| Terminal value growth rate | 2 | 1.2-2.0 |
The discount rate is a post-tax measure based on the characteristics of each CGU with a possible debt leveraging of 32% in 2016 and of 48% in 2015.
The cash flow projections included specific estimates for five years and a terminal growth rate thereafter. The terminal growth rate was determined based on management´s estimate of the long term inflation
In addition to the discount and growth rates, the key assumptions used to estimate future cash flows, based on past experience and current sector forecasts, are as follows:
• Existing power purchase agreements (PPAs) signed and existing number of customers
With regard to the assessment of value in use of the CGUs, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of Nejapa, Kallpa, AIE, Energuate and Surpetroil to materially exceed its recoverable amount.
Following are the contractual conditions of the Group's interest bearing loans and credit, which are measured based on amortized cost.

I.C. Power
Since 2010, the Peru Customs Authority (known as "SUNAT" for its abbreviation in Spanish) issued tax assessments to Kallpa and its lenders for payment of import taxes allegedly owed by Kallpa in relation to imported equipment for installation and construction of Kallpa I, II, III and IV. The assessments were made on the basis that Kallpa did not include the value of the engineering services rendered by the contractor of the project in the tax base of import taxes. Kallpa disagrees with this tax assessment on the grounds that the engineering services rendered include the design of the plant and not the design of the imported equipment. Kallpa appealed the tax assessments before SUNAT in first instance and before the Peruvian Tax Court (known as "Tribunal Fiscal") in second instance. SUNAT and the Peruvian Tax Court are administrative institutions under the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
In January 2015, the Tax Court rejected Kallpa's appeal regarding the Kallpa I assessment. Kallpa disagrees with the court´s decision and filed a judicial action (Demanda Contencioso Administrativa) before the Superior Court of Lima on April 15, 2015. In order to file an appeal, Kallpa was required to pay the amounts requested by SUNAT which was was \$12 million (S/. 38 million). Subsequently, Kallpa recovered the VAT paid related to this amount. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 the remaining amount is approximately \$10 million (approximately S/. 32 million) respectively.
On January 27, 2016, the amount of the claim in relation with Kallpa IV was reduced by S/. 17 million (\$5 million) without interests, from approximately \$5 million to \$152 thousand (S/. 18 million to S/. 0.5 million ) referred to the engineering services assessment. On February 12, 2016, Kallpa filed an appeal against the part of the resolution that refers to the insurance. As of the date herein, such appeal is pending to be submitted by SUNAT to the Tax Court.
On September 12, 2016, the Superior Court of Lima issued a ruling on the Kallpa I case declaring its claims to be groundless. Kallpa disagreed with the Court´s decision and, on September 21, 2016, filed an appeal to the Superior Court of Lima. As of December 31, 2016, the Kallpa I assessment liability (including tax, fines and interest) is nil as Kallpa has already paid the total amount under discussion. With this approach, favorable result of the process would imply a refund of the amounts paid.
As of the end of December 2016, the total tax exposure related to these assessments is as follows:
| Amount | Amount | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage | (In million S/.) | (In million \$) | |
| Kallpa I | Superior Court of Lima | 32.5 | 9.7 |
| Kallpa II | Peruvian Tax Court | 23.0 | 6.8 |
| Kallpa III | Peruvian Tax Court | 22.3 | 6.6 |
| Kallpa IV | SUNAT | 1.3 | 0.4 |

Kallpa's management and its legal advisors are of the opinion that Kallpa´s appeals will more likely than not be successful; accordingly, no provision was recognized in the financial statements because Kallpa has determined it does not have a present obligation.
On February 15, 2016, as a result of the 2012 income tax audit, SUNAT issued a preliminary income tax assessment against Kallpa on the basis that certain interest accrued on its debt and some maintenance expenses amounting to approximately \$6 million (approximately S/.22 million) should not have been deducted from its 2012 taxable income but rather treated as an asset.
On March 11, 2016, SUNAT issued a final tax assessment for approximately \$5 million (approximately S/.17 million), related to the interest expenses accrued during the construction of the steam turbine (Kallpa IV) as part of the combined-cycle conversion of the plant. This tax assessment has been confirmed with SUNAT resolution (Resolución de Determinación) notified to Kallpa on April 18, 2016. On May 16, 2016, Kallpa filed a complaint appeal against the SUNAT assessment which was rejected by SUNAT through a resolution (Resolución de Intendencia) notified on February 14, 2017. This resolution has been appealed at the Tax Court.

Kallpa´s management and its tax counsel have determined that Kallpa should prevail in its appeal as the Tax Court has previously issued precedents that allow for the deduction of interest expenses in similar circumstances based on the language of article 37a) of the Peruvian Income Tax Law; accordingly, no provision has been recognized in the financial statements because Kallpa has determined it does not have a present obligation.
As of December 31, 2016, the tax liability is approximately \$3 million (S/.12 million) including interest and fines.
Compensations for Technical Service Quality:
Based on the current legal framework in Guatemala, I.C. Power is obliged to compensate its customers for failures in technical service quality. The CNEE establishes parameters for continuity (number and length of interruptions) and establishes fines for failure to comply with such parameters. As of December 31, 2016, sanction processes initiated by the CNEE corresponding to a group of processes related to these fines amounted to:
Actual compensations to customers in accordance with the regulations issued by the CNEE depends on the following future events:
DEORSA and DEORSA's management and its legal advisors have determined that there is no current obligation that results under the claims and therefor no provision was recognized in the financial statements.
In 2011, the previous owners of DEORSA and DEOCSA acquired the companies through a leveraged buy-out transaction. Years after the transaction, the Guatemalan Tax Authority (Superintendencia de Administración Tributaria, or the "SAT") raised questions concerning tax deductions for interest expenses and amortization of goodwill that derived from that transaction. This culminated in the issuance in February 2015 of two binding tax opinions, one for DEOCSA and another for DEORSA (the "Binding Opinions") allowing the deductions.
The government of Guatemala changed in January 2016. After the new government took power, in July 2016, the SAT filed a complaint against DEORSA and DEOCSA (the "Complaint") in disregard of its own conclusions stated in the Binding Opinions, which Opinions remain in force as of this date. The Complaint requests the payment of alleged back taxes, interest, and fines in relation to tax years 2011 and 2012.
On 9 August 2016, the court hearing the Complaint ordered DEORSA and DEOCSA to pay \$17 million (Q. 130 million) in alleged back taxes immediately, plus interest and fines within 60 days following the court order, as a condition to lift an order freezing the bank accounts of DEORSA and DEOCSA. Pursuant to this and another court order of 12 December 2016, on 10 August 2016, DEOCSA and DEORSA paid \$17 million to the SAT corresponding to the alleged back taxes, and, on 13 December 2016, they paid \$26 million (Q. 193 million) corresponding to the alleged fines and interest.
Due to the actions of the government and in order to avoid the initiation of complaints concerning tax years 2013, 2014, and 2015, and the corresponding imposition of further fines and interest, DEORSA and DEOCSA followed the instructions of the SAT and paid the alleged back taxes and interest for those years in the following manner: on August 9, 2016, DEORSA and DEOCSA paid a total of \$18 million (Q. 138 million) for the years 2014 and 2015; and on August 19, 2016, they paid a total of \$13 million (Q. 100 million) for the year 2013. In addition, during 2016, DEORSA and DEOCSA made additional payments of income tax paid in advance by approximately \$5 million (Q. 41 million) corresponding to year 2016.
The abovementioned measures were adopted in order not to put at risk to the continuing operation and prevent irreversible damage to DEORSA and DEOCSA. All payments were made under protest and subject to a broad reservation of rights, including but not limited to seeking restitution of such payments. DEORSA and DEOCSA and their legal and tax advisors are of the view that the deductions for interest expenses and amortization of goodwill are legitimate tax deductions and in the opinion of DEORSA and DEOCSA's management and its legal advisors it is not more likely than not that that their position under applicable legal frameworks are favourable. DEORSA and DEOCSA are defending against the SAT Complaint and considering all available remedies with respect to this matter. Accordingly, no provision was recorded in the financial statements because DEORSA and DEOCSA has determined it does not have a present obligation.
As of December 31, 2016, the total tax claim amounts to \$80 million (Q. 603 million). This tax claim has been recorded as a receivable.
In July 2013, the EA published four generation component tariffs/power cost indicators, ranging from NIS 386 per megawatt hour, or MWh, to NIS 333.2 per MWh, instead of the single tariff that had previously been used. In January 2015, the EA published new tariffs, which reduced the tariff rates by approximately 10%. In connection with the indexation of their natural gas price formula for OPC's gas supply agreement with the Tamar Partner, OPC and the Tamar Partners disagreed as to which of the EA's July 2013 tariffs applied to the Tamar's supply agreement and have a similar disagreement with respect to the tariffs published in January 2015. Subsequent to the period of the report, on February 2, 2017, OPC received a letter from Tamar's attorney claiming a debt of \$25 million (including accrued interest) and requesting that such amount be deposited in escrow pursuant to the GSPA. Based on the OPC's legal consultant's opinion, it is more likely than not that OPC's defence of this claim will ber successful. Consequently, no provision was recognized in the financial statements as OPC's management has concluded it does not have a present obligation under this claim.

As of December 2010, COBEE was engaged in the generation of electricity under a concession granted to it by the Government of Bolivia, in October 1990 for a period of 40 years. The Bolivian government unilaterally transformed by supreme decree, all concessions to generate, transmit and distribute electricity to special temporary licenses. However, to date, the government has not issued regulations nor approved any procedure or guideline to convert such special temporary licenses into permanent licenses.
In March 2008, COBEE signed a long-term PPA agreement with Minera San Cristobal. Pursuant to the agreement, COBEE will supply 43 MW of availability and energy, commencing from December 22, 2008. The PPA agreement provides a fixed price for availability, and an energy price that is linked to the price of natural gas for production of electricity in Bolivia. Surplus energy and availability are sold in the spot market. The PPA agreement is scheduled to expire in October 2017.
In December 2011, the Bolivian Government amended the applicable law to prohibit generation companies from entering new PPAs. Therefore, COBEE will be unable to extend or replace this PPA, under which we have contracted 18.9% of COBEE's installed capacity.
As of December 31, 2016, Kallpa has entered into thirty two PPAs with unregulated consumers to provide capacity and the associated energy of 621 MW (twenty seven PPAs of 522 MW as of December 31, 2015). These contracts have various commencement dates, and expires between 2013 and 2028. Also, as of December 31, 2016, Kallpa has signed twenty seven PPAs with 7 distribution companies for 590 MW (thirteen PPAs with 8 distribution companies for 660 MW as of December 31, 2015).
The Peruvian market functions on the marginal cost method in which the generators bid their marginal cost to the market regulator who instructs the most efficient generators to produce electricity for the system. In the event Kallpa is not capable to meet its commitments under the contracts, Kallpa will be required to purchase energy in the spot market.
Kallpa purchases natural gas for its generation facilities from the Camisea consortium under an exclusive natural gas supply agreement dated January 2, 2006, as amended. Under this agreement, the Camisea Consortium agreed to supply Kallpa's natural gas requirements, subject to a daily maximum amount and Kallpa agreed to acquire natural gas exclusively from the Camisea Consortium.
The Camisea consortium is obligated to provide a maximum of 4,250,000 cubic meters of natural gas per day to our Kallpa plant and Kallpa is obligated to purchase a minimum of approximately 2,225,000 cubic meters of natural gas per day as follows:
| Cubic meters per day | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To be provided | Minimum | ||
| by Consortium | Purchase | ||
| First gas turbine | 1,200,000 | 648,000 | |
| Second gas turbine | 1,300,000 | 702,000 | |
| Third gas turbine | 1,300,000 | 650,000 | |
| Combined cycle | 450,000 | 225,000 | |
| Total | 4,250,000 | 2,225,000 |
In the event that Kallpa does not consume the contracted minimum on any given day, Kallpa is permitted to use that lacking quantity on any day during the course of the following 18 months from the day of under-consumption.
The price that Kallpa pays to the Camisea consortium for the natural gas supplied is based on a base price in U.S. dollars set on the date of the agreement, indexed monthly based on a basket of market prices for heavy fuel oil, with discounts available based on the volume of natural gas consumed. This agreement expires in June 2022.
Kallpa's natural gas transportation services are rendered by Transportadora de Gas del Peru S.A. ("TGP") pursuant to a natural gas firm transportation agreement dated December 2007, as amended. In April 2014, this agreement was further modified to include the transportation agreement between Duke Energy Egenor S. en C. por A. and Las Flores. This agreement expires in December 2033.
In addition, Kallpa is party to two additional natural gas transportation agreements that expire in April 2030 and April 2033, respectively.
Set forth below is a summary of the natural gas transportation services under these agreements (in cubic meters of gas per day):
| Periods | Firm | Interruptible |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Date – April 21, 2016 | 3,474,861 | 1,329,593 |
| April 22, 2016 - March 20, 2020 | 4,854,312 | 764,463 |
| March 20, 2020 - January 1, 2021 | 4,655,000 | 764,463 |
| January 2, 2021 - March 31, 2030 | 4,655,000 | 530,000 |
| April 1, 2030 - March 31, 2033 | 3,883,831 | 1,301,169 |
| April 1, 2033 - December 31, 2033 | 2,948,831 | 1,301,169 |
Natural gas distribution services are rendered by Cálidda, under two natural gas distribution agreements. Under such agreements, which expire on December 31, 2033, Cálidda is obliged to distribute up to approximately 3,710,000 cubic meters of natural gas per day to Kallpa combined-cycle plant and 1,144,312 cubic meters of natural gas per day to Las Flores power plant.
On November 29, 2013, Samay I won one of the public bid auctions promoted by the Peruvian Investment Promotion Agency ("Proinversion") to build an open cycle diesel and natural gas (dual-fired) thermoelectric plant in Mollendo, Arequipa (southern Peru), with an installed capacity of approximately 616 MW (when operated with diesel fuel). The two- bid auction, which was won by Samay I and a subsidiary of Engie, is part of an effort by the Peruvian government to promote the construction of a power node in southern Peru, which will be fueled by natural gas once a natural gas pipeline (the Gasoducto Sur Peruano) delivers gas to the area.
The Samay I plant is expected to have three operational stages. First, it will operate as a cold reserve plant with diesel until natural gas becomes available in the area through a pipeline currently under construction. It is uncertain when the pipeline will be completed. Second, once natural gas becomes available to the facility through the new natural gas pipeline, the Samay I plant will have the obligation to operate as a natural gas-fired power plant and will be able to do so with minor investments by us in Samay I's facilities. When fueled by natural gas, the Samay I plant will have an installed capacity of approximately 720 MW. Finally, following an additional investment in the conversion of the Samay I plant, which we have not committed to make, the Samay I plant could operate as a combined cycle thermoelectric plant, which would increase Samay I's installed capacity to approximately 1,080 MW. Samay I has entered into an agreement with the State of Peru, with a term of 20 years, under which Samay I will receive fixed monthly capacity payments denominated in U.S. Dollars and we will passthrough all of the variable costs during the cold reserve phase. The amount of monthly payments required to make up the total amount to which Samay I is entitled will be calculated by the COES, and will be paid by all generators that form part of the SEIN who, in their turn collect the corresponding fee from their customers through a surcharge in the transmission tariffs applicable to, and payable by, all end consumers. The surcharge does not involve the use of state funds or any appropriation process, being a mechanism that has been used for almost 20 years in Peru to cover the cost of various energy projects.
In addition to receiving a 20-year stream of capacity payments, Samay I has an advantage in being one of only two power generation companies that have defined rights to a natural gas supply and transportation capacity once the Gasoducto Sur Peruano is completed. The developer of such pipeline has a contractual obligation under its concession agreement with the State of Peru to build a branch of the pipeline to connect it with the Samay I plant. Our strategic development of the Samay I plant will provide us with a significant advantageous position in the future southern Peru power node, which will develop once the Gasoducto Sur Peruano is completed. Pursuant to the terms of its tender, Samay I must receive gas and transportation services pursuant to terms which are similar to other power plants located in other parts of Peru and served by the existing TGP pipe line, such as the Kallpa plant. According to Law 29970, natural gas transportation costs of the Samay I plant will be eventually subsidized by additional tariffs on the electricity transmission toll periodically determined by OSINERGMIN with the purpose of decentralizing the generation of electricity with natural gas, which is one of the main purposes of the State of Peru developing the southern Peru power node. ElectroPerú has commenced negotiations with suppliers and concessionaires for the supply and transport of natural gas to each of Samay I and the other plant with a defined right to the firm supply of natural gas. However, as ElectroPerú may not be successful in obtaining an agreement which conforms to the conditions as contemplated in the tender documents of the cold reserve bidding process, we believe Samay I has the right to reject entering into any supply and transportation agreements which do not comply with the conditions set forth in its tender.
Samay I reached COD in May 26, 2016.
As of December 31, 2016, CDA has entered into three PPAs which are a 15-year PPA with ElectroPerú to provide 200 MW of capacity and the associated energy that commenced in 2016 a 10-year PPA with Luz del Sur S.A.A., Edelnor and Edecañete, to provide 202 MW of capacity and the associated energy that commences in January 2018, and a 10-year PPA with Edelnor and Edecañete to provide 81 MW that commences in January 2022 which will account for a significant portion of CDA's expected generation capacity. The PPA with ElectroPerú is denominated in U.S. Dollars and is indexed to the U.S. producer price index. Although CDA operates a hydroelectric plant, its PPAs are indexed to natural gas prices, with exposures to fluctuations in such prices.
On November 2, 2009, OPC signed a PPA with Israel Electric Company Ltd. ("IEC") whereby OPC undertook to construct a power plant within 49-52 months from the PPA signing date, while IEC undertook to purchase capacity and energy from OPC., over a period of twenty (20) years from the commencement date of COD of the plant. The PPA is a "capacity and energy" agreement, meaning, a right of OPC to provide the plant's entire production capacity to IEC, and to produce electricity in the quantities and on the dates as required by IEC.
The PPA with IEC provides OPC with the option to allocate and sell the generated electricity of the power station directly to end users. OPC has exercised this option and sells all of its energy and capacity directly to end users. Most of the agreements are for a period of 10 years. The consideration tariff, are based on the time of use electricity tariff ("TAOZ"), the generation component of the time of use electricity tariff, less a discount from the generation component. Both the TAOZ and the generation component are determined by the Public Utility Authority - Electricity ("PUA") and are updated from time to time.
If the consideration is less than a minimum tariff of the generation component, I.C.Power has the right to terminate the agreements.
The agreements guarantee a certain level of availability of the power plant below which, customers are entitled to compensation.
On November 25, 2012, OPC signed an agreement with Noble Energy Mediterranean Ltd., Delek Drilling Limited Partnership, Isramco Negev 2 Limited Partnership, Avner Oil Exploration Limited Partnership and Dor Gas Exploration Limited Partnership ("Tamar Partners") regarding the natural gas supply to the power plant. The agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of: a 16 years term as from the date of gas flow to the power plant or until OPC has consumed the entire contractual quantity .In addition, each party has the right to extend the period of the agreement for a period of up two additional years under certain conditions or until the date of consuming the total contract quantity, whichever is earlier ("Tamar Agreement").
The price of the gas is linked to changes in the "Production Cost" Tariff, which is part of TAOZ, and partially linked to the USD representative exchange rate, and includes "a floor price". According to the Tamar Agreement, OPC shall purchase natural gas with a total contractual quantity of 10.6 BCM (billions of cubic meters). OPC is under a "take or pay" obligation regarding a certain annual quantity of natural gas based on a mechanism set forth in the Tamar Agreement. The Tamar Agreement contains certain conditions that provide in the future flexibility to reduce the minimum annual quantity.
On December 28, 2015, the agreement received the Israeli Antitrust Authority, ("Authority") approval.
The Tamar Agreement allows curtailing OPC's gas supply during the interim period in case of a shortage in gas supply, and gives preference, in this scenario, to certain Tamar Partners customers over OPC. However, in December 2012, the Natural Gas Committee published a decision (6/2012) (the "Gas Committee's Decision") with respect to the regulation of the use of the capacity of the gas pipe from the Tamar reserve, in case of a shortage in the gas pipe's capacity, and the foregoing regulation differs from the relevant arrangement in the Tamar Agreement. OPC believes that a proportional (pro rata) allocation as described in the Gas Committee's Decision may increase the quantity of gas received by OPC under the Tamar Agreement, in case of shortage in the capacity of the gas pipe. The manner of implementation of the Gas Committee's decision, if it is implemented, and the potential effect, if any, on the Tamar Agreement are unknown. On April 12, 2016, in preparation for a potential shortage which could have been caused as the result of planned maintenance operations by the Tamar Partners, the Chairman of the Natural Gas Committee sent a notice to the buyers of gas from the Tamar Partners, reflecting a materially different mechanism from the Gas Committee's Decision. According to the foregoing notice, the system's administrator (IEC) shall be responsible for the allocation of gas among the electricity producing gas consumers. In case of shortage, low-pressure distribution grid users shall have preference over high-pressure national transmission systems (such as OPC), which shall be allocated gas proportionally (pro rata). The legal effect of the foregoing notice is unclear, and OPC is unable of assessing its effect on it, if any, in case of potential gas shortage.
During the years 2015 and 2016, the Electricity Authority ("EA", formerly known as PUA) updated the generation component of the TAOZ. This tariff is used to determine the price calculation between OPC and the end users, and for the natural gas price indexation. As a result of these adjustments, the generation component was reduced in about 10% starting February 2015 and in about 5% starting September 13, 2015. A decline in generation component will result in a corresponding decline in the rates the Group charges its customers and, accordingly, its revenues. In December 2016, the EA published its decision regarding an update of the generation component of the TAOZ, which became effective on January 1, 2017, and further reduced the generation component tariff by approximately 0.5% from NIS 265.2 per MWh to NIS 264 per MWh (as opposed to the 8% reduction that was initially proposed in the October 2016 EA draft decision). However, as part of the December 2016 EA decision, TAOZ was also adjusted to reflect a decrease in certain payments made by IPPs to the IEC. As a result of such adjustment, OPC's tariffs effectively increased by approximately 2% (despite the 0.5% reduction in the generation component tariff). The next annual update of the generation component tariff is expected to be conducted in December 2017.
Since 2013, the EA had been in the process of determining a system cost tariff. In August 2015, the EA published a decision that IPPs in Israel would be obligated to pay system management service charges, which charges are retroactively effective as of June 1, 2013. According to the EA decision, as amended in September 2015, the amount of system management service charges that would be payable by OPC from the effective date of June 1, 2013 to June 30, 2015, was approximately NIS 159 million (approximately \$41 million), excluding interest rate and linkage costs, based upon the "average rate" of the system management service charges. However, as the rate of the new system management service charges, like other rates of the EA, varies by season (e.g., summer and winter) and by demand period (peak, shoulder and off-peak), IEC's final calculation of the amount payable by OPC was based upon the applicable time of use rates, which provides different energy rates for different seasons (e.g., summer and winter) and different periods of time during the day, or "Time of Use" rates. In December 2015, OPC received an invoice from IEC (in its capacity as the system manager) regarding the NIS 163 million (approximately \$42 million) amount of system management service charges that would be payable by OPC for such period, including interest rate and linkage costs.
In February 2016, OPC paid NIS154 million (approximately \$40 million) to IEC in satisfaction of this amount (excluding the interest rate, and linkage costs). In August 2016, the EA published a decision to change the method of calculation of the interest rate and to reduce the interest rate payable by IPPs (including OPC) with respect to system management service charges payable by them from the effective date of June 1, 2013 to September 13, 2015 (amounting to approximately 2.5% of the total amounts payable by IPPs in respect of the system management charges). As a result of the resolution, the system management cost provision was updated to a total amount of NIS 3 million (approximately \$768 thousand). The adjustment of the provisions was allocated to the cost of sales and to the finance expenses.
On August 10, 2015, AIE and Hadera Paper entered into two agreements for the supply of electricity and steam to Hadera Paper's facility:
Short Term PSPA - Pursuant this agreement, AIE will supply steam and electricity until COD of the power plant, which shall be done through the existing energy center.
Long Term PSPA – Pursuant this agreement, AIE will supply steam and electricity during the period commencing upon COD of the power plant and for a period of 18 years thereafter.
In consideration for electricity purchased under each of the PSPAs, Hadera Paper will pay an electricity tariff which is based on a certain discount in comparison with the electricity tariffs charged by the Israeli Electric Company Ltd. The steam price paid by Hadera Paper is subject to adjustment based upon Hadera Paper's annual steam consumption.
Hadera Paper is under a "take or pay" obligation ("the TOP") regarding a certain annual quantity of steam based on a mechanism set forth in the agreements.
Under the PSPAs, the AIE is obligated to certain availability with respect to the supply of electricity and steam, which obligation excludes unavailability due to events predominately not in the control of the AIE. In addition, in certain circumstances, the AIE may be subject to penalties in the event of delays in the COD of the power plant. AIE's liability is subject to an annual cap, as set out in the agreements.
During 2016, AIE signed 10-year agreements for sale of most of its capacity of its power plant, to end users. The agreements are for a period of 10 years, where under some of the agreements the end user has an early termination right after 5 years giving counter offer 6 months in advance. AIE has the right of first refusal. In addition, under some of the agreements the end user has an early termination right if it constructs a power plant for its needs, provided it gives notice 18 months in advance. The consideration was set based on the TAOZ tariff less a discount from the generation component. If the consideration is less than a minimum tariff of the generation component, has the right to terminate the agreements and to sell the electricity to the IEC, in accordance with the PPA agreement.
The agreements include compensation in the event of delay of power plant's COD and compensation for unavailability of the power plant below an agreed minimum level.
On January 25, 2012, Hadera Paper entered into a gas sale and purchase agreement (hereinafter- the "GSPA") with Noble Energy Mediterranean Ltd., Delek Drilling Limited Partnership, Isramco Negev 2 Limited Partnership, Avner Oil Exploration Limited Partnership, Dor Gas Exploration Limited Partnership and Everest Infrastructures Limited Partnership (hereinafter- the "Tamar Partners") regarding the natural gas supply to Hadera Paper's existing gas consuming facilities (i.e. the Energy Center) as well as the intendedadditional capacity of the power plant under construction. The agreement was amended on October 16, 2012.
On August 10, 2015, the GSPA was assigned to AIE pursuant to the terms of the share purchase agreement. The GSPA will terminate upon the earlier of 15 years following the commencement of supply from the Tamar reservoir (April 2013) or until the date of consuming the total contract quantity (118,000,000 MMBTU). In addition, both parties have an option to extend the GSPA by up to two years in the event the total contract quantity was not yet consumed by the end of the GSPA term.
The price of the gas is linked to the weighted average generation cost tariff, published by the EA, and includes a "floor price". In addition, the GSPA includes the TOP regarding a certain annual quantity of natural gas based on a mechanism set forth in the GSPA.
In addition, on September 6, 2016, AIE and the Tamar Partners entered into an additional GSPA ("Additional GSPA") for the supply of additional quantities of natural gas (in addition to the original GSPA) as of the commissioning of the intended power plant.
The additional GSPA will terminate upon the earlier of 15 years following the completion of the commissioning of the power plant (which shall be concluded by no later than March 31, 2019) or until the date of consuming the total contract quantity (68,000,000 MMBTU, which shall be adjusted if and when the additional GSPA were to become on a firm supply basis). In addition, both parties have an option to extend the term of the additional GSPA by up to three years in the event the total contract quantity was not yet consumed by the end of the additional GSPA term.
The price of the gas is linked to the weighted average generation cost tariff, published by the EA, and includes a "floor price."
On July 11, 2007, Hadera Paper signed a gas transmission agreement with Israel Natural Gas Lines Ltd. (hereinafter- "INGL"), which was assigned to AIE on August 10, 2015, in accordance to the SPA.

I. The separation agreement
The following summarizes the material provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement between Kenon and IC in relation to the consummation of the spin-off. The Separation and Distribution Agreement sets forth, among other things, Kenon agreements with IC in respect of the principal transactions which separated Kenon's businesses from IC and its other businesses. The Separation and Distribution Agreement also sets forth other agreements that govern the distribution, as well as certain aspects of our relationship with IC after the consummation of the spin-off. See Note 1.B for transactions between Kenon and IC since the spin-off.
The Separation and Distribution Agreement identified the assets to be transferred, the liabilities to be retained by IC or assumed by Kenon, and the contracts to be retained by IC or assigned to Kenon in relation to the spin-off and transfer of IC's interests, direct or indirect, in each of I.C. Power, Quantum (the holder of IC's 50% equity interest in Qoros), ZIM, Tower and ICG to Kenon.
Concurrent with the transfer of the aforementioned businesses to Kenon, IC assigned and transferred to Kenon, IC's full rights and obligations according to, and in relation to, certain loans it has provided to, and certain undertakings it had made in respect of, these businesses. Set forth below is a summary of the material rights and obligation that IC transferred to Kenon in relation to the spin-off:
| Business | Instrument | Outstanding Amount as of December 31, 2014 |
|---|---|---|
| Financial Instruments | ||
| Qoros | Capital note issued by Quantum to IC | \$626 million |
| I.C. Green | Capital note issued by ICG to IC Loan borrowed by ICG |
NIS 508 million (approximately \$131 million) 22 million Euro (approximately \$27 million) |
| Qoros | Shareholder loan to be provided to Qoros | In February 2015, Kenon provided RMB400 million (approximately \$65 million) as a shareholder loan to Qoros, subject to the release of IC's back-to-back guarantees in respect of certain of Qoros' indebtedness. |
Additionally, certain guarantees and undertakings made by IC in relation to OPC's financing agreement shall not be transferred to Kenon and, instead, have been replaced with guarantees or undertakings of I.C. Power, as well as a provision of cash collateral, so that IC is released from its obligations under the existing guarantee or undertaking, as applicable.
Other than certain limited corporate representations and warranties made by Kenon and IC, neither Kenon nor IC make any representations or warranties regarding any assets or liabilities transferred or assumed, any consents or approvals that may be required in relation to such transfers or assumptions, the value or freedom from any lien or other security interest of any assets transferred, the absence of any defenses relating to any claim of either party or the legal sufficiency of any conveyance documents, or any other matters. Except as expressly set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement or in any ancillary agreement, all assets were transferred on an "as is," "where is" basis.
The Separation and Distribution Agreement provides that it may be terminated by IC at any time in its sole discretion prior to the consummation of the spin-off.
Except with respect to (i) those legal proceedings pending against IC at the time of the consummation of the spin-off, and that relate to any of the businesses to be transferred to Kenon, and (ii) certain other exceptions set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Kenon shall be liable for the claims of each of the businesses being transferred to it as part of the spin-off, including such claims that arose out of, or relate to events, circumstances or actions occurring or failing to occur, or with respect to any conditions existing prior to, the distribution date.
Kenon and IC agree to indemnify each other against certain liabilities incurred in relation to Kenon respective businesses, and as otherwise allocated to each of us in the Separation and Distribution Agreement. These indemnities are principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our business, and each of our businesses, with us and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of IC and its business with IC. The Separation and Distribution Agreement also specifies procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification and related matters.
Kenon agrees to indemnify IC for any liabilities arising after the consummation of the spin-off as a result of legal matters relating to the businesses Kenon will receive in the spin-off.
The Separation and Distribution Agreement provides that IC will be responsible for all fees, costs and expenses relating to it and will finance all fees, costs and expenses related to Kenon, in each case as incurred prior to the distribution date in relation to the spin-off.

Other matters governed by the Separation and Distribution Agreement include access to financial and other information, access to and provision of records, intellectual property, confidentiality, treatment of outstanding guarantees and similar credit support and dispute resolution procedures.
The Separation and Distribution Agreement provides that the distribution of our ordinary shares is subject to several conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to the distribution. Each of IC and Kenon may, in their sole discretion, waive the conditions precedent applicable to their entry into the Separation and Distribution Agreement. IC may, in its sole discretion, at any time prior to the record date of the distribution, decide to abandon the distribution.

The Group has extensive international activity in which it is exposed to credit, liquidity and market risks (including currency, interest, inflation and other price risks). In order to reduce the exposure to these risks, the Group holds derivative financial instruments, (including forward transactions, interest rate swap ("SWAP") transactions, and options) for the purpose of economic (not accounting) hedging of foreign currency risks, inflation risks, commodity price risks, interest risks and risks relating to the price of inputs. Furthermore, I.C. Power holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its risk in respect of changes in the cash flows of issued bonds, and such instruments are accounting hedges.
This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, and the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing the risk.
The risk management of the Group companies is executed by them as part of the ongoing current management of the companies. The Group companies monitor the above risks on a regular basis. The hedge policies with respect to all the different types of exposures are discussed by the boards of directors of the companies.
The comprehensive responsibility for establishing the base for the risk management of the Group and for supervising its implementation lies with the Board of Directors and the senior management of the Group.
Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the financial benefits of contracts with a specific counterparty will be lost if a counterparty defaults on their obligations under the contract. This includes any cash amounts owed to the Group by those counterparties, less any amounts owed to the counterparty by the Group where a legal right of set-offs exist and also includes the fair values of contracts with individual counterparties which are included in the financial statements. The maximum exposure to credit risk at each reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets mentioned in this note.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and adverse credit and market conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.
The Group manages its liquidity risk by means of holding cash balances, short-term deposits, other liquid financial assets and credit lines.
As of December 31, 2016, the Group has a negative working capital on a consolidated basis mainly due to I.C. Power's negative working capital. I.C. Power may seek to extend the final maturity of or refinance its indebtedness. The management believes that they will have sufficient cash resources from operating cashflows and refinance of long-term borrowings that matures in 2017, if necessary, to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due.
Set forth below are the anticipated repayment dates of the financial liabilities, including an estimate of the interest payments. This disclosure does not include amounts regarding which there are offset agreements:

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, the CPI, interest rates and prices of capital products and instruments will affect the fair value of the future cash flows of a financial instrument.
The Group buys and sells derivatives in the ordinary course of business, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Boards of Directors of the companies. For the most part, the Group companies enter into hedging transactions for purposes of avoiding economic exposures that arise from their operating activities. Most of the transactions entered into do not meet the conditions for recognition as an accounting hedge and, therefore, differences in their fair values are recorded on the statement of profit and loss.
The Group's functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The exposures of the Group companies are measured with reference to the changes in the exchange rate of the dollar vis-à-vis the other currencies in which it transacts business.
The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases, assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group entities. The primary exposure is to the shekel, euro, pound, Peruvian Nuevo Sol and yuan (RMB).
The Group uses options and forward exchange contracts on exchange rates for purposes of hedging short-term currency risks, usually up to one year, in order to reduce the risk with respect to the final cash flows in dollars deriving from the existing assets and liabilities and sales and purchases of goods and services within the framework of firm or anticipated commitments, including in relation to future operating expenses.
The Group is exposed to currency risk in relation to loans it has taken out and debentures it has issued in currencies other than the dollar. The principal amounts of these bank loans and debentures have been hedged by swap transactions the repayment date of which corresponds with the payment date of the loans and debentures.
The Group has CPI-linked loans. The Group is exposed to high payments of interest and principal as the result of an increase in the CPI. It is noted that part of the Group's anticipated revenues will be linked to the CPI. The Group does not hedge this exposure beyond the expected hedge included in its revenues.
(a) Exposure to CPI and foreign currency risks The Group's exposure to CPI and foreign currency risk, based on nominal amounts, is as follows:

The Group is exposed to changes in the interest rates with respect to loans bearing interest at variable rates, as well as in relation to swap transactions of liabilities in foreign currency for dollar liabilities bearing a variable interest rate.
The Group has not set a policy limiting the exposure and it hedges this exposure based on forecasts of future interest rates.
The Group enters into transactions mainly to reduce the exposure to cash flow risk in respect of interest rates. The transactions include interest rate swaps and "collars". In addition, options are acquired and written for hedging the interest rate at different rates.
Set forth below is detail of the type of interest borne by the Group's interest-bearing financial instruments:

| 116 |
The Group's assets and liabilities bearing fixed interest are not measured at fair value through the statement of profit and loss and the Group does not designate derivatives interest rate swaps as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore, a change in the interest rates as at the date of the report would not be expected to affect the income or loss with respect to changes in the value of fixed – interest assets and liabilities.
A change of 100 basis points in interest rate at reporting date would have increased/(decreased) profit and loss before tax by the amounts below. This analysis assumes that all variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

The Group's financial instruments include mainly non-derivative assets, such as: cash and cash equivalents, investments, deposits and short-term loans, receivables and debit balances, investments and long-term receivables; non-derivative liabilities: such as: short-term credit, payables and credit balances, long-term loans, finance leases and other liabilities; as well as derivative financial instruments.
Due to their nature, the fair value of the financial instruments included in the Group's working capital is generally identical or approximates the book value.
The following table shows in detail the carrying amount and the fair value of financial instrument groups presented in the financial statements not in accordance with their fair value.

The fair value of forward contracts on foreign currency is determined using trading programs that are based on market prices. The market price is determined based on a weighting of the exchange rate and the appropriate interest coefficient for the period of the transaction along with an index of the relevant currencies.
The fair value of contracts for exchange (SWAP) of interest rates and fuel prices is determined using trading programs which incorporate market prices, the remaining term of the contract and the credit risks of the parties to the contract.
The fair value of currency and interest exchange (SWAP) transactions is valued using discounted future cash flows at the market interest rate for the remaining term.
The fair value of transactions used to hedge inflation is valued using discounted future cash flows which incorporate the forward CPI curve, and market interest rates for the remaining term.
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability might be categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The fair value of marketable securities held for trade is determined using the 'Discounts for Lack of Marketability' ("DLOM") valuation method, which is a method used to calculate the value of restricted securities. The method purports that the only difference between a company's common stock and its restricted securities is the lack of marketability of the restricted securities which is derived from the price difference between both prices.

The following table shows the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 2 fair values as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

The fair value of financial guarantee was based on the Merton model using the method known as Monte Carlo Simulation "MCS". MCS approximates the probability of certain outcomes by running multiple simulations, using various inputs. The MCS performed over the financial guarantee was based on the inputs and the assumption that Qoros has a certain amount of risk-free debt that will be repaid at a later date. The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation are Qoros' assets value, debt exercise price and the volatility of its assets. The estimated fair value would increase if the asset value decreased, debt exercise price increased and volatility of its assets in the market.
On March 10, 2017, Kenon announces that it has agreed to fund the provision of up to RMB777 million (approximately \$114 million) to Qoros in relation to the full release of its remaining RMB850 million (approximately \$125 million) back-to-back guarantee obligations to Chery in two tranches, which releases Kenon from commitments to pay any related interest and fees to Chery under the guarantees (See Note 10.C.b.8).
In April 2017, Quantum and Chery entered into an agreement with Yibin Municipal Government ("Yibin"), Sichuan province, People's Republic of China. This provides Yibin a platform to join as a strategic partner to invest in Qoros in connection with the establishment of a New Energy Vehicle manufacturing base. Further agreements are necessary to establish the investment framework for new facilities and the implementation of the strategic cooperation and investment. Such further agreements, once executed, are expected to involve significant investments by Yibin in Qoros, which would dilute Quantum's and Chery's interests in Qoros.
Further to that stated in Note 13.B(4), on January 17 and 31, 2017, Unit 2 and 3 of Samay I power plant restarted commercial operations and became available for system dispatch.
On January 20, 2017, the authority of Singapore approved (i) the change of name of I.C. Power Singapore from "I.C. Power Pte. Ltd." to "I.C. Power Ltd.";. and, (ii) the conversion of I.C. Power Singapore from "Private Company Limited by shares" to "Public Company Limited by shares".
In addition, on January 20, 2017, I.C. Power Singapore conducted a share split whereby each of its ordinary shares was subdivided into 143.03338 ordinary shares following such share split. After the share spilt the number of issued ordinary shares is 80 million.
On February 20, 2017, I.C. Power Singapore, withdrew its US initial public offering, citing market conditions. It had filed to raise \$350 million by offering 25.9 million shares at a price range of \$12 to \$15.
On March 2, 2017, Samay III S.A. and Yesid Gasca Durán (NCI of Supertroil and Surenergy in Colombia) signed an agreement to split the assets of Supertroil and Surenergy. A period of 90 days is established from the date of signature for closing the precedent conditions. As a result of this agreement, Inkia has updated its impairment analysis expecting that the book value of the subsidiaries' assets will exceed their recoverable amount. Therefore, during the first quarter of 2017 the company is expecting to record an impairment in the amount of approximately \$14 million.
On December 29, 2016, I.C. Power Asia Development Ltd executed an agreement to acquire 85% of Greenday Renewable Energy Ltd subject to \$550 thousand payment and Anti-Trust Authority's approval, which occurred on January 12, 2017. Greenday has a potential pipeline of over 240 MW of solar fields, andout of which six projects of approximately 50 MW, which are expected to participate in 2017 tenders.
On April 6, 2017, ICPI has entered into an agreement to acquire 95% of the shares of Zomet Energy Ltd. ("Zomet") from Ipswich Holdings Netherlands B.V. (47.5%) and Rapac Energy Ltd. (47.5%). Zomet holds the rights to develop a natural gas fired power station at Plugot Junction, Israel with an estimated capacity of approximately 396 MW, in addition to land rights and statutory approvals. Completion of the transaction is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including various regulatory approvals.
The project has been approved as a national infrastructure project by the government and the National Infrastructure Committee of Israel. The natural gas power plant will produce electricity using open cycle technology, and is expected to serve as a peaking unit. The project is expected to be funded through a combination of equity and project finance debt. The Group is currently unable to make an estimate of the financial effect of this event.
On April 11, 2017, Kanan's 92 MW power plant in Panama, consisting of a 55 MW barge and, a 37 MW barge which experienced fire with significant damage, and both barges have been placed off-line. There were no injuries resulting from the fire.
I.C. Power intends to seek coverage for the costs of such outage, including repair costs and loss of profit, as appropriate, from insurance coverage (subject to deductibles). I.C. Power's management is still assessing the impact of the damage and the resulting outage, I.C. Power does not expect the fire and outage to have a material adverse effect on I.C. Power's results of operations. I.C. Power is assessing various options to resume the Kanan power plant's operations and a reasonable estimate of the damage will be made after the impact assessment. The Group is currently unable to make an estimate of the financial effect of this event.

The accompanying notes form an integral part of these financial statements.
The statements of financial position have been prepared in accordance with the Group's basis of preparation (see Note 2.A of consolidated financial statements).
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the statements of financial position.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Investments in subsidiaries are stated in the Company's statements of financial position at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Associates are entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20% and 50% of another entity. In assessing significant influence, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible into shares of the investee are taken into account.
Associates are stated in the Company's statements of financial position at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
An impairment loss in respect of an associate is measured by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss, and is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank and financial institution counterparties, which are rated AA- to AA+, based on rating agency Standard & Poor's ratings.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company's value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Company's interest-bearing financial instruments was as follows.
A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.
| Profit or loss | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nominal amount US\$'000 |
100bp increase US\$'000 |
100bp decrease US\$'000 |

The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the Company's functional currency, the US dollar (USD). The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated is Singapore dollar (SGD).
In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company's policy is to ensure that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.
At the reporting date, the Company's exposure to foreign currency risk was as follows:
| 2016 | 2015 | |
|---|---|---|
| US\$'000 | US\$'000 | |
| Financial guarantee (CNY) | 115,223 | - |
| Trade and other payables (GBP) | 725 | - |
| Trade and other payables (SGD) | 47 | 80 |
A weakening (strengthening) of the foreign currency, as indicated below, against the US dollar at December 31, would have increased/(decreased) profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Company considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecasted sales and purchases.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
The Company monitors its liquidity and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Company's operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
The contractual obligations of financial liabilities as at financial year/period end are as follows:
| Contractual cash | More than 5 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrying amount US\$'000 |
flows US\$'000 |
1 year US\$'000 |
1-5 years US\$'000 |

* Financial Guarantees contractual period in Qoros is dependent on Qoros's timeliness to meet the obligation of current loans payable. \$179,073 thousand is the maximum projected cashflow in connection with the financial guarantees provided to Chery in respect to the obligations of Qoros.
Except for these financial liabilities and the cash flow arising from the financial guarantees, it is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis above could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly higher amounts.
Due to their nature, the fair value of the financial instruments included in the Company's working capital is generally identical or approximates the book value.
The following table shows in detail the carrying amount and the fair value of financial instrument groups presented in the financial statements not in accordance with their fair value.
| As at December 31, 2016 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrying amount US\$ thousands |
Level 2 | Discount Rate (range) |

| Long-term loan payable (excluding interest) | 200,000 | 152,030 | 11.79% | |
| As at December 31, 2015 | ||||
| Carrying amount US\$ thousands |
Level 2 | Discount Rate (range) |
||
| Long-term loan payable | 110,000 | 76,650 | 12.60% |
* The fair value is measured using the technique of discounting the future cash flows with respect to the principal component and the discounted interest using the market interest rate on the measurement date.
The following table presents an analysis of the financial instruments which are presented in the statement of financial position at fair value, using an evaluation method. The levels were defined as follows:
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset of a liability might be categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest input that is significant to the entire measurement.
| Level 1 US\$'000 |
Level 2 US\$'000 |
Level 3 US\$'000 |
Total US\$'000 |

| Financial guarantees* | - | - | 34,263 | 34,263 |
* The fair value of financial guarantees was based on the Merton model using the method known as Monte Carlo Simulation "MCS". MCS approximates the probability of certain outcomes by running multiple simulations, using various inputs. The MCS performed over the financial guarantee was based on the inputs and the assumption that Qoros has a certain amount of risk-free debt that will be repaid at a later date. The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation are Qoros' assets value, debt exercise price and the volatility of its assets. The estimated fair value would increase if the asset value decreased, debt exercise price increased and volatility of its assets is higher.
