ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - GENERAL AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Ormat Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") have been prepared in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2019, the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
The financial data and other information disclosed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
These condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The condensed consolidated bata as of December 31, 2018 was derived from the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
Dollar amounts, except per share data, in the notes to these financial statements are rounded to the closest \$1,000.
Puna
On May 3, 2018, the Kilauea volcano located in close proximity to our Puna 38 MW geothermal power plant in the Puna district of Hawai's Big Island erupted following a significant increase in seismic activity in the area. Before it stopped flowing, the lava covered the wellheads of three geothermal wells, monitoring wells and the substation of the Puna complex and an adjacent warehouse that stored a drilling rig that was also consumed by the lava. The insurance policy coverage for property and business interruption is provided by a consortium of insurers. All the insurers accepted and started paying for the costs to rebuild the destroyed substation, and during the first quarter of 2019, we received an additional \$1.5 million of such proceeds. However only some of the insurers accepted that the business interruption coverage started in May 2018 and during the first quarter of 2019, we recorded an additional \$1.3 million of such proceeds which were included under cost of revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company is still in discussions to reach an understanding with all insurers to start paying for the business interruption as of May 2018. In April 2019 the Company reached an agreement with another insurance company and received an additional \$4.1 million for current and future business interruption loss. The business interruption coverage compensates the Company for the loss of profits that resulted from the inability of the onsurface property to generate electricity.
The Company is still assessing the damages in the Puna facilities and continue to coordinate with Hawaii Electric Light Company ("HELCO") and local authorities to bring the power plant back to operation. The Company continues to assess the accounting implications of this event on the assets and liabilities on its balance sheet and whether an impairment will be required. Any significant damage to the geothermal resource or continued shut-down following the lava event at the Puna facilities could have an adverse impact on the power plant's electricity generation and availability, which in turn could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
DEG 3 Loan
On January 4, 2019, an indirect subsidiary of the Company ("OrPower 4") entered into an additional \$41.5 million subordinated loan agreement with DEG (the "DEG 3 Loan Agreement") and on February 28, 2019, OrPower 4 completed a drawdown of the full loan amount, with a fixed interest rate of 6.04% for the duration of the loan (the "DEG 3 Loan"). The DEG 3 Loan will be repaid in 19 equal semi-annual principal installments commencing June 21, 2019, with a final maturity date of June 21, 2028. Proceeds of the DEG 3 Loan were used by OrPower 4 to refinance upgrades to Plant 1 of the Olkaria III Complex, which were originally financed using equity. The DEG 3 Loan is subordinated to the senior loan provided by OPIC for Plants 1-3 of the Olkaria III Complex. The DEG 3 Loan is guaranteed by the Company.

Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and accounts receivable.
The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions located in the United States ("U.S.") and in foreign countries. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had deposits totaling \$28.6 million, respectively, in ten U.S. financial institutions that were federally insured up to \$250,000 per account. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company's deposits in foreign countries amounted to approximately \$75.9 million and \$93.9 million, respectively.
At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, accounts receivable related to operations in foreign countries amounted to approximately \$106.8 million and \$102.0 million, respectively. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, accounts receivable from the Company's primary customers amounted to approximately 55% and 56% of the Company's accounts receivable, respectively.
Sierra Pacific Power Company and Nevada Power Company (subsidiaries of NV Energy, Inc.) accounted for 18.2% and 17.4% of the Company's total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Southern California Public Power Authority ("SCPPA") accounted for 19.4% and 16.3% of the Company's total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Kenya Power and Lighting Co. Ltd. accounted for 15.3% and 15.1% of the Company's total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
We have historically been able to collect on substantially all of our receivable balances. Recently, we have been receiving late payments from KPLC in Kenya related to our Olkaria Complex and from ENNE in Honduras related to our Platanares power plant. As of March 31, 2019, the amounts overdue are \$29.4 million and \$18.0 million related to KPLC and ENNE, respectively, of which \$20.4 million, respectively, were paid during April 2019. As we believe we will be able to collect all past due amounts, no provision for doubtful accounts has been recorded.
Additionally, Pacific Gas and Electric Corporation") and its subsidiary Pacific Gas and Electric Company ("PG&E"), which accounts for 1.2% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019, are facing extraordinary challenges relating to a series of catastrophic wildfires that occurred in Northern California in 2017 and 2018. As a result, on January 29, 2019, PG&E Corporation and its subsidiary, PG&E, voluntarily filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. We are closely monitoring our PG&E account to ensure cash received timely each month. Our monthly invoice relating to January 2019 was not paid as it occurred before PG&E filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but cash was received for the February and March invoices.
Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Contract assets related to our Product segment reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities related to our Product segments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. We receive payments from customers based on the terms established in our contracts. Total contract assets and contract liabilities as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:
| March 31, 2019 |
December 31, 2018 |

(*) Contract assets and contract liabilities are presented as "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts" and "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts", respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.
On March 31, 2019, we had approximately \$226.1 million of remaining performance obligations not yet satisfied or partly satisfied related to our Product segment. We expect to recognize approximately 100% of this amount as Product revenues during the next 24 months.
NOTE 2 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
New accounting pronouncements effective in the three-month period ended March 31, 2019
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This new standard introduced a number of changes and simplified previous guidance, primarily the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. The new standard retained the distinction between finance leases and operating leases and the classification criteria between the two types remains substantially similar. Also, lessor accounting remained largely unchanged from previous guidance. However, key aspects of the new standard were aligned with the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606. Additionally, the new standard defined a lease as a contract, or part of a conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the identified asset means that the customer has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and accordingly recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, which was an immaterial amount, with no restatement of comparative information.
ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) (Unaudited)
In accordance with the new standard, for agreements in which the Company is the lessee, the Company applies a unified accounting model by which it recognizes a right-of-use asset ("ROU") and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease contract for all the leases in which the Company has a right to control identified assets for a specified period of time. The classification of the lease or an operating lease determines the subsequent accounting for the lease arrangement.
Upon the adoption of the new standard the Company, both as a lessor, chose to apply the following permitted practical expedients:
-
- Not reassess whether any existing contracts are or contain a lease;
-
- Not reassess the classification of leases that commenced before the effective date (for example, all existing leases that were classified as operating leases in accordance with Topic 840 will continue to be classified as operating leases, and all existing leases that were classified as capital leases in accordance with Topic 840 will continue to be classified as finance leases);
-
- Exclude initial direct costs from measurement of the ROU asset at the date of initial application;
-
- Applying the practical expedient (for a lessor) to not separate non-lease components accounted for under Topic 606 from lease components and, instead, to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single component. If the non-lease components are the predominant components, the Company will account for the combined component as a single performance obligation entirely in accordance with Topic 606. Otherwise, the combined component will be accounted as an operating lease entirely in accordance with the new standard.
-
- Applying the practical expedient (for a lessee) regarding the recognition and measurement of shortterm leases, for leases for a period of up to 12 months from the commencement date. Instead, the Company will continue to recognize the lease payments for those leases in statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Since the Company elected to apply the practical expedients above, it applied the new standard to all contracts entered into before January 1, 2019 and identified as leases in accordance with Topic 840.
The new significant accounting policies regarding leases that were applied as from January 1, 2019 following the application of the new standard are as follows:
1. Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease
On the inception date of the lease, the Company determines whether the arrangement is a lease, while examining if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company as a lessee 2.
Lease classification: a.
At the commencement date, a lease is a finance lease if it meets any one of the criteria below; otherwise the lease is an operating lease:
- · The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term.
- · The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise.
- · The lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset.
- · The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset.
- .
The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of lease term.
ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) (Unaudited)
b. Leased assets and lease liabilities - initial recognition
Upon initial recognition, the Company recognizes a liability at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term, and concurrently recognizes a ROU asset at the liability, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, plus initial direct costs incurred in respect of the lease. Since the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the incremental borrowing rate of the Company is used. The subsequent measurement depends of whether the lease is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease.
The lease term C.
The lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease plus periods covered by an extension or termination option if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option.
d. Subsequent measurement of operating leases
After lease commencement, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement (as long as the discount rate hasn't been updated as a result of a reassessment event).
The Company subsequently measures the ROU asset at the remaining lease payments, adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term and any unamortized initial direct costs.
Further, the Company will recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
e. Subsequent measurement of finance leases
After lease commencement, the Company measures the lease liability by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made during the period. The Company shall determine the interest on the lease liability in each period during the lease term as the amount that produces a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability, taking into consideration the reassessment requirements.
After lease commencement, the Company measures the ROU assets at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses, taking into consideration the reassessment requirements. The Company amortizes the ROU asset on a straight-line basis, unless another systematic basis better represents the pattern in which the Company expects to consume the ROU asset's future economic benefits. The ROU asset is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the ROU asset as follows:
| (in years) | |
|---|---|
| Land | 1 - 35 |
| Automobiles | ל |
| Building |
The total periodic expense (the sum of interest and amortization expense) of a finance lease is typically higher in the early periods and lower in the later periods.

The Operating leases right of use is higher than the related lease liabilities as a result of prepayments of leases, including the Puna lease and deferred financing lease costs.
b) A weighted-average nominal incremental interest rate of 5% and 7% was used to discount future lease payments in the calculation of the operating and finance lease liabilities, respectively.

Derivatives and Hedging
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this update better align an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act"). The guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
New accounting pronouncements effective in future periods
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance will be effective beginning on January 1, 2020, including interim periods within that year. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5-FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon selling an asset or paid upon transferring a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance are described below:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
The following table sets forth certain fair value information at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy, as well as cost or amortized cost. As required by the fair value measurement guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The fair value of the long-term debt is determined by a valuation model, which is based on a conventional discounted cash flow methodology and utilizes assumptions of current borrowing rates. The fair value of revolving lines of credit is determined using a comparison of market-based price sources that are reflective of similar credit ratings to those of the Company.
The carrying value of financial instruments such as revolving lines of credit and deposits approximates fair value.

NOTE 8 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share attributable to the Company's stockholders is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to the Company's stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company does not have any equity instruments that are dilutive, except for employee stock-based awards.
The table below shows the reconciliation of the number of shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, |

The number of stock-based awards that could potentially dilute future earnings per share and that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive was 249,908 and 62,409 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

NOTE 9 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company has three reporting segments: the Electricity segment, the Product segment and the Other segment. These segments are managed and reported separately as each offers different products and serves different markets. The Electricity segment is engaged in the sale of electricity from the Company's power plants pursuant to PPAs. The Product segment is engaged in the manufacture, including design and development, of turbines and power units for the supply of electrical energy and in the associated construction of power plants utilizing the power units manufactured by the Company to supply energy from geothermal fields and other alternative energy sources. The Other segment is engaged in management of curtailable customer loads under contracts with U.S. retail energy providers and directly with large commercial and industrial customers as well as battery storage as a service.
Transfer prices between the operating segments are determined based on current market values or cost-plus markup of the seller's business segment.
Summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable segments is shown in the following tables:

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- · On May 21, 2018, a motion to certify a class action was filed in Tel Aviv District Court against Ormat Technologies, Inc. and 11 officers and directors. The alleged class is defined as "All persons who purchased Ormat shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange between August 3, 2017 and May 13, 2018". The motion alleges that the Company violated Sections 31(a)(1) and 38C of the Israeli Securities Law because it allegedly: (1) misled investors by stating in its financial statements that it maintains effective internal controls over its accounting policies and procedures, however the Company's internal controls had material weaknesses which led to erroneous accounting in its 2017 unaudited quarterly reports that had to be restated, including adjustments to the Company's net income and shareholders' equity; and (2) failed to issue an immediate report in Israel until May 16, 2018, analogous to the report that was released in the United States on May 11, 2018 stating, inter alia, that the errors in its financial reports affected its balance sheet and would be remedied in its 2017 annual report. The Company filed an agreed motion to the Tel Aviv District Court to stay the proceedings in Israel until a final decision in the U.S. case (Mac Costas) is adjudicated.
- · On June 11, 2018, a putative class action was filed by Mac Costas on behalf of alleged shareholders that purchased or acquired the Company's ordinary shares between August 8, 2017 and May 15, 2018 was commenced in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The complaint asserts claim against all defendants pursuant to Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and against its officers pursuant to Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint alleges that the Company's Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, and Form 10-Qs for each of the quarters in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 contained material misstatements or omissions, among other things, with respect to the Company's tax provisions and the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, and that, as a result of such alleged misstatements and omissions, the plaintiffs suffered damages. Following the Mac Costas filing and in accordance with the terms of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA"), a number of law firms filed applications on behalf of entities purporting to hold shares in the Company, seeking to be appointed as lead plaintiff and lead counsel in the action. On March 12, 2019 the court appointed Phoenix Insurance Company Ltd. ("Phoenix Insurance") as lead plaintiff and approved their selection of lead counsel. Pursuant to a scheduling stipulation entered between the parties, Phoenix Insurance must file a consolidated amended complaint by May 13, 2019, the Company's motion to dismiss must be filed by July 12, 2019, Phoenix Insurance must file their Opposition by August 26, 2019, and the Company must file their reply by September 25, 2019. The Company believes that it has valid defenses under law and intends to defend itself vigorously.
- · On September 11, 2018, the Klein derivative action ("Klein Action") was filed against the Company, our board and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, and on October 22, 2018, the Matthew derivative action ("Matthew Action") was filed against the company, certain named present and former board members (Barniv, Beck, Boehm, Clark, Falk, Freeland, Granot, Joyal, Nishigori, Sharir, Stern and Wong) in the U.S. District Court, District of Nevada. The Klein complaint asserts four derivative causes of action generally arising from Ormat's restatement of its financial statements: (i) the individual defendants allegedly breached their fiduciary duties by allowing the company to improperly report its financials; (ii) the individual defendants allegedly were unjustly enriched by being compensated while breaching their fiduciary duties; (iii) the individual defendants allegedly committed corporate waste in paying officers and directors and by incurring legal costs and potential liability; and (iv) the director defendants allegedly breached Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act in connection with the issuance of 2018 proxy. The Matthew complaint similarly alleges derivatively a breach of fiduciary duties, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and corporate waste by the named directors. On January 24, 2019, the Nevada Court entered an order consolidating the Klein Action and Matthew Action, and staying all deadlines and hearings in the consolidated action pending entry of an order on the motion to dismiss in the Mac Costas putative class action. Within thirty days of entry of an order on the motion to dismiss in the Mac Costas putative class action, the parties are required to meet and to submit a proposed schedule for further proceedings in the consolidated action.
ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) (Unaudited)
- · Following the announcement of the Company's acquisition of U.S. Geothermal Inc. ("USC"), a number of putative shareholder class action complaints were initially filed on behalf of USG shareholders between March 8, 2018 and March 30, 2018 against USG and the individual members of the USG board of directors. All of the purported class action suits filed in Federal Court in Idaho have been voluntarily dismissed. The single remaining class action complaint is a purported class action filed in the Delaware Chancery Court, entitled Riche v. Pappas, et al., Case No. 2018-0177 (Del. Ch., Mar. 12, 2018). An amended complaint was filed on May 24, 2018 under seal, under a confidentiality agreement that was executed by plaintiff. The amended Riche complaint alleges state law claims for breach of fiduciary duty against former USG directors and seeks post-closing damages. The Company believes that it has valid defenses under law and intends to defend itself vigorously.
- · On August 5, 2016, George Douvris, Stephanie Douvris, Michael Hale, Cheryl Cacocci, Hillary E. Witt and Christina Bryan, acting for themselves and on behalf of all other similarly situated residents of the lower Puna District, filed a complaint in the Third Circuit Court for the State of Hawaii seeking certification of a class action for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, consequential and punitive damages, attorney's fees and statutory interest against Puna Geothermal Venture ("PGV") and other presently unknown defendants. HELCO and other parties were later joined as co-defendants. The Parties have reached an amicable settlement in an immaterial amount which, on April 4, 2019, was recorded by the Court, and the claim dismissed.
- · On March 29, 2016, a former local sales representative in Chile, Aquavant, S.A., filed a claim on the basis of unjust enrichment against Ormat's subsidiaries in the 27th Civil Court of Santiago, Chile. The claim requests that the court order Ormat to pay Aquavant \$4.6 million in connection with its activities in Chile, including the EPC contract for the Cerro Pabellon project and various geothermal concessions, plus 3.75% of Ormat geothermal products sales in Chile over the next 10 years. Pursuant to various motions submitted by the defendants and the plaintiffs to various courts, including the Court of Appeals, the case was removed from the original court and then refiled before the 11th Civil Court of Santiago. The Civil Court has heard oral testimonies and the "factual" stage of the proceedings are completed. The Company believes that it has valid defenses under law and intends to defend itself vigorously.
In addition, from time to time, the Company is named as a party to various other lawsuits, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, the Company accrues when a loss is probable, and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. It is the opinion of the Company's management that the outcome of these proceedings, individually and collectively, will not be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements as a whole.
NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective tax rate expense (benefit) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was 34.1% and (58.4)%, respectively. The effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to: (i) the impact of the recently enacted global intangible low tax income ("GILTI"); (ii) the increase in the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets related to the limitation on interest expense under the recently enacted IRC section 163((); (ii) withholding taxes on future dividend distributions; (iv) mix of business in various countries with higher and lower statutory rates than the federal rate; partially offset by (v) forecasted generation of production tax credits.
The Company is required by the Tax Act to include in U.S. taxable income amounts on related to GILTI. The Company elected as an accounting policy in 2018 to treat taxes due on future U.S, inclusions in taxable income under GILTI as a period cost when incurred. The Company has elected and applied the tax law ordering approach when considering GILTI as part of the Company's valuation allowance.
As a result of the Tax Act, the Company is also subject to certain statutory restrictions on its interest deductions under IRC section 163(i) which limits the interest deductions to business interest income plus 30% of adjusted taxable income. Disallowed interest expense does not expire but can only be utilized in future years when an adjusted taxable income provides excess limitation. The Company is projecting an \$8.8 million interest expense carryforward attribute which has a full valuation allowance.
NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Cash dividend
On May 6, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company declared, approved and authorized payment of a quarterly dividend of \$5.6 million (\$0.11 per share) to all holders of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock on May 20, 2019, payable on May 28, 2019.

Trends and Uncertainties
Different trends, factors and uncertainties may impact our operations and financial condition, including many that we do not or cannot foresee. However, we believe that our results of operations and financial condition for the foreseeable future will be primarily affected by trends, factors and uncertainties discussed in our 2018 Annual Report under "Part II - Item 7 - Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation" in addition to the information set forth in this report. These trends, factors and uncertainties are from time to time also subject to market cycles:
· Pacific Gas and Electric Corporation ("PG&E Corporation") and its subsidiary Pacific Gas and Electric Company ("PG&E"), which accounts for 1.2% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019, are facing extraordinary challenges relating to a series of catastrophic wildfires that occurred in Northern California in 2017 and 2018. If PG&E Corporation and PG&E are found liable for the wildfires, its potential liabilities could exceed \$30 billion. As a result, on January 29, 2019, PG&E Corporation and its subsidiary, PG&E, voluntarily filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. We are closely monitoring our PG&E account to ensure cash receipts are received timely each month. Our monthly invoice relating to January 2019 was not paid as it occurred before PG&E filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but cash was received for our February and March invoices.
Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, approximately 98.3% of our Electricity segment revenues were from PPAs with fixed energy rates, which are not affected by fluctuations in energy commodity prices. We have variable price PPAs in California and Hawaii, which provide for payments based on the local utilities' avoided cost, which is the incremental cost that the power purchaser avoids by not having to generate such electrical energy itself or purchase it from others, as follows:
- · the energy rates under the PPAs in California for each of Heber 2 power plant in the Heber Complex and the G2 power plant in the Mammoth Complex, a total of between 30 megawatts ("MW") and 40 MW, change primarily based on fluctuations in natural gas prices; and
- · the prices paid for the electricity pursuant to the 25 MW PPA for the Puna Complex in Hawaii change primarily as a result of variations in the price of oil as other commodities.
To comply with obligations under their respective PPAs, certain of our project subsidiaries are structured as special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities and their assets and liabilities are ring-fenced. Such assets are not generally available to pay our debt, other than debt at the respective project subsidiary level. However, these project subsidiaries are allowed to pay dividends and make distributions of cash flows generated by their assets to us, subject in some cases to restrictions in debt instruments, as described below.
Electricity segment revenues are also subject to seasonal variations and can be affected by higher-thanaverage ambient temperatures, as described below under "Seasonality".
Revenues attributable to our Product segment are based on the sale of equipment, engineering procurement and construction ("EPC") contracts and the provision of various services to our customers. Product segment revenues may vary from period to period because of the timing of our receipt of purchase orders and the progress of our equipment manufacturing and execution of the relevant project.
Revenues attributable to our Other segment are mainly derived from BSAAS systems, demand response and energy management services and may fluctuate period. Pricing of such services and products are dependent on market supply and demand trends, market volatility, the need and price for ancillary services and other factors that may change over time.

The contribution of our domestic and foreign operations within our Electricity segment and Product segment to combined pre-tax income differ in a number of ways.
In the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 46% and 53% of our revenues were derived from international operations, respectively, and our international operations were more profitable than our U.S. operations. A substantial portion of international revenues came from Kenya and Turkey and, to a lesser extent, from Guadeloupe, Guatemala and Honduras and other countries. Our operations in Kenya contributed disproportionately to gross profit and net income.
Electricity Segment. Our Electricity segment domestic revenues were approximately 64% and 63% of our total Electricity segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. However, domestic operations in our Electricity segment have higher costs of revenues and expenses than the foreign operations in our Electricity segment. Our foreign power plants are located in lower-cost regions, like Kenya, Guatemala, Honduras and Guadeloupe, which favorably impact payroll and maintenance expenses among other items. They are also newer than most of our domestic power plants and therefore tend to have lower maintenance costs and higher availability factors than our domestic power plants. Consequently, in 2019 the international operations of the segment accounted for 46% of our total gross profits, 44% of our net income and 44% of our EBITDA.
Product Segment. Our Product segment foreign revenues were approximately 79% and 99% of our total Product segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our Product segment foreign activity also benefits from lower costs of revenues and expenses than Product segment domestic activity such as labor and transportation costs. Accordingly, our Product segment foreign activity contributes more than our Product segment domestic activity to our pre-tax income from operations.
Seasonality
Electricity generation from some of our geothermal power plants is subject to seasonal variations; in the winter, our power plants produce more energy primarily attributable to the lower ambient temperature, which has a favorable impact on the energy component of our Electricity segment revenues and the prices under many of our contracts are fixed throughout the year with no time-of-use impact. The prices (primarily for capacity) paid for electricity under the PPAs with Southern California Edison and PG&E in California for the Heber 2 power plant in the Heber Complex, the Mammoth Complex and the North Brawley power plant are higher in the months of June through September. The higher payments payable by Southern California Edison and PG&E in the summer months partially offset the negative impact on our revenues from lower generation in the summer attributable to a lower ambient temperature. As a result, we expect the revenues in the winter months to be higher than the revenues in the summer months.
Breakdown of Cost of Revenues
The principal cost of revenues attributable to our three segments are discussed in our 2018 Annual Report under "Part II - Item 7 - Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation".
Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting estimates and assumptions is included in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section in our 2018 Annual Report.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements set forth in Item 1 of this quarterly report for information regarding new accounting pronouncements.
Results of Operations
Our historical operating results in dollars and as a percentage of total revenues are presented below. A comparison of the different years described below may be of limited utility due to (i) our recent construction or disposition of power plants and enhancement of acquired power plants; (ii) fluctuation in revenues from our Product segment; and (iii) the impact of the lava eruption on our Puna plant in Hawaii.

This increase was primarily attributable to: (i) additional cost of revenues from the commercial operation of the third phase of our McGinness Hills Complex plant in Nevada, effective December 2018, and commencement of commercial operation of our Plant 1 expansion project in the Olkaria III Complex in Kenya, effective June 2018 and (ii) the consolidation of USG which was acquired on April 24, 2018, offset partially by a decrease in cost of revenues at our Puna power plant that was shut down immediately following the Kilauea volcanic eruption on May 3, 2018. As a percentage of total Electricity revenues, our total cost of revenues attributable to our Electricity segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 54.3%, compared to 55.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in gross profit due to the commencement of commercial operation of the third phase of our McGinness Hills Complex and due to the gross profit from USG, offset partially by the Puna power plant in Hawaii, under which we recorded cost of revenues with no associated revenues due to the shut-down of the power plant following the Kilauea volcanic eruption in May 3, 2018. The cost of revenues attributable to our international power plants was 26.9% of our Electricity segment cost of revenues.
Product Segment
Total cost of revenues attributable to our Product segment for the ended March 31, 2019 was \$42.1 million, compared to \$33.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which represented a 24.8% increase. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in Product segment revenues, as discussed above and due to higher competition, different product scope and different margins in the various sales contracts we entered into for the Product segment during these periods specifically related to two large but lower margin contracts in Turkey that had a significant impact on revenue and related cost of revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2019. As a percentage of total Product segment revenues, our total cost of revenues attributable to our Product segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 80.8%, compared to 69.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Other Segment
Cost of revenues attributable to our Other segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were \$5.2 million compared to \$3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Other segment includes cost of revenues related to the provision of energy storage, demand response and energy management services.
Research and Development Expenses, Net
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were \$0.9 million, compared to \$1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were \$3.9 million compared to \$3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 constituted 1.9% of total revenues for such period, compared to 2.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were \$15.7 million compared to \$13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to legal settlements, increase in stock-based compensation and professional fees. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 constituted 7.9% of total revenues for such period, compared to 7.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Operating Income
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was \$53.7 million, compared to \$54.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which represented a 1.6% decrease in operating income was attributable to the decrease in our Product segment gross margin, and the increase in general and administrative expenses, as discussed above, offset by an increase in our Electricity segment gross margin. Operating income attributable to our Electricity segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was \$51.6 million, compared to \$46.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Operating income attributable to our Product segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was \$4.3 million, compared to \$9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Operating loss attributable to our Other segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was \$2.1 million compared to \$1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was \$21.2 million, compared to \$14.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This increase was primarily due to: (i) \$100.0 million of proceeds from a senior unsecured on March 22, 2018; (ii) \$96.0 million debt as part of the acquisition of USG; (ii) \$2.2 million increase in interest related to the sale of tax benefits; and (iv) \$114.7 million of proceeds from a limited recourse loan received on October 29, 2018 from OPIC for financing the Honduras power plant, partially offset due to lower interest expense as a result of principal payments of long term debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity have been derived from cash flows from operations, proceeds from third party debt such as borrowings under our credit facilities, private offerings and issuances of debt securities, project financing, tax monetization transactions, short term borrowing under our lines of credit, and proceeds from the sale of equity interests in one or more of our projects. We have utilized this cash to develop and construct power plants, fund our acquisitions, pay down existing outstanding indebtedness, and meet our other cash and liquidity needs.
As of March 31, 2019, we had access to (i) \$79.4 million in cash equivalents, of which \$51.2 million is held by our foreign subsidiaries; and (i) \$159.7 million of unused corporate borrowing capacity under existing lines of credit with different commercial banks.
Our estimated capital needs for the remainder of 2019 include approximately \$200.0 million for capital expenditures on new projects under development or construction activity, storage activity, investment in our manufacturing facility and operating projects, as well as \$117.7 million for debt repayment, including \$60.9 million repayment of short-term revolving lines of credit that we assume will be renewed.
As of March 31, 2019, \$235.5 million in the aggregate was outstanding under credit agreements with several banks as described below under "Credit Agreements".
We expect to finance these requirements with: (i) the sources of liquidity described above; (i) positive cash flows from our operations; and (ii) future project financings (including construction loans and tax equity). Management believes that, based on the current stage of implementation of our strategic plan, the sources of liquidity and capital resources described above will address our anticipated liquidity, capital expenditures, and other investment requirements.
Although we plan to repatriate undistributed earnings related to Ormat Systems, Ltd. ("OSL") to support expected capital expenditure requrements in the U.S., based upon our plans to increase operations outside of the U.S. it is our intention to reinvest undistributed earnings of its other foreign subsidiaries and thereby indefinitely postpone their remittance given that we require existing and future cash to fund our anticipated investment and development activities as well as debt service requirements in those jurisdictions. In addition, we believe that existing and anticipated cash flows as well as borrowing capacity in the U.S. and cash to the U.S. from OSL will be sufficient to meet our needs in the U.S. If plans change, we may be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds.
Third-Party Debt
Our third-party debt consists of (i) non-recourse and limited-recourse project finance debt or acquisition financing debt that we or our subsidiaries have obtained for the purpose of developing and constructing, refinancing or acquiring our various projects and (ii) full-recourse debt incurred by us or our subsidiaries for general corporate purposes.

In May 2014, the Sarulla consortium ("SOL") closed \$1,170 million in financing. As of March 31, 2019, the credit facility has an outstanding balance of \$1,108.8 million. Our proportionate share in the SOL credit facility is \$141.4 million.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures primarily relate to: (i) the development and construction of new power plants, (ii) the enhancement of our existing power plants; and (iii) investment in activities under our strategic plan.
The following is an overview of projects that are fully released for construction:
Tungsten Mountain Solar power plant (Nevada). We are currently developing a Solar PV power plant adjacent to our geothermal Tungsten Mountain power plant in Nevada. The project is expected to generate approximately 7 AC MW that will be used for the ancillary needs of the power plant and will free similar MW to be sold from the geothermal resource to SCPPA under the portfolio PPA. Most of the equipment is onsite and construction is progressing. We expect commercial operation in the second quarter of 2019. We are in the process of amending the Tungsten Mountain geothermal Large Generator Interconnection Agreement with NV Energy to reflect this addition of Solar PV systems.
Steamboat Hills Power Plant (Nevada). We are planning to replace all of the old power plant equipment with new advanced technology equipment that will eventually increase the capacity by approximately 16 MW and reduce maintenance costs. Engineering work and procurement are ongoing, and we expect commercial operation in early 2020.
Heber Complex (California). We are currently in the process of repowering the Heber 2 power plants. We are planning to replace steam turbine and old OEC units with new advanced technology equipment that will add a net capacity of 11 MW. Following these enhancements, we expect the complex to reach 92 MW. Permitting, Engineering and procurement are ongoing. We expect commercial operation in early 2021.
The following is an overview of projects that are in initial stages of construction:
Carson Lake Project. We plan to develop between 10 MW to 15 MW Carson Lake project on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) leases located in Churchill County, Nevada. We drilled one well in 2016 that did not meet our commercial criteria and another in 2017 that tested favorably. Planning is in process for next steps including a flow test to evaluate reservoir volume. We signed a Small Generator Interconnection Agreement with NV Energy in December 2017. As of March 31, 2019, we postponed the drilling activity to next year.
CD 4 Project. We plan to develop a 30 MW project at the Mammoth complex on primarily BLM leases. We have completed two production wells, one of which was previously considered an injection well. We continued drilling in 2018. We signed a Wholesale Distribution Access Tariff Cluster Large Generator Interconnection Agreement with Southern California Edison in December 2017. We recently signed a 25-year PPA with SCPPA for 16 MW that will be sold to the City of Colton in California. We intend to sell the balance of 14MW to other offtakers or at the spot market. We expect commercial operation by the end of 2021.
We have estimated approximately \$285.0 million in capital expenditures for construction of new projects and enhancements to our existing power plants, of which we have invested approximately \$67.4 million as of March 31, 2019. We expect to invest approximately \$125.0 million of the total amount during the remainder of 2019 and the remaining of approximately \$92.6 million thereafter.
In addition, we estimate approximately \$75.0 million in additional capital expenditures in the remainder of 2019 to be allocated as follows: (i) \$45.0 million for maintenance capital expenditures to our operating power plants; (ii) \$10.0 million for exploration; (iii) \$13.0 million for the construction and development of storage projects; and (iv) \$7.0 million for enhancement to our production facilities.
In the aggregate, we estimate our total expenditures for the remainder of 2019 will be approximately \$200.0 million.
Exposure to Market Risks
Based on current conditions, we believe that we have sufficient financial resources to fund our activities and execute our business plans. However, the cost of obtaining financing for our project needs may increase significantly or such financing may be difficult to obtain.
We, like other power plant operators, are exposed to electricity price volatility risk. Our exposure to such market risk is currently limited because many of our long-term PPAs (except for the 25 MW PPA for the Puna complex and the between 30 MW and 40 MW PPAs in the aggregate for the Heber 2 power plant in the Heber Complex, and the G2 power plant in the Mammoth Complex) have fixed or escalating rate provisions that limit our exposure to changes in electricity prices.
The energy payments under the PPAs of the Heber 2 power plant in the Heber Complex and the G2 power plant in the Mammoth Complex are determined by reference to the relevant power purchaser's Short Run Avoided Cost ("SRAC"). A decline in the price of natural gas will result in a decrease in the incremental cost that the power purchaser avoids by not generating its electrical energy needs from natural gas, or by reducing the price of purchasing its electrical energy needs from natural gas power plants, which in turn will reduce the energy payments that we may charge under the relevant PPA for these power plants. The Puna Complex is currently benefiting from energy prices which are higher than the floor under the 25 MW PPA for the Puna Complex as a result of the high fuel costs that impact HELCO's avoided costs.
As of March 31, 2019, 97.1% of our consolidated long-term debt was fixed rate debt and therefore was not subject to interest rate volatility risk. As of such date, 2.9% of our long-term debt was floating rate debt, exposing us to interest rate risk in connection therewith. As of March 31, 2019, \$35.0 million of our long-term debt remained subject to some interest rate risk.
We currently maintain our surplus cash in short-term, interest-bearing bank deposits, money market securities and commercial paper (with a minimum investment grade rating of AA by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services).
Our cash equivalents are subject to interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely impacted by a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. As a result of these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations
because of changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value because of changes in interest rates.
We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk, in particular the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar versus the Israeli shekel and Euro. Risks attributable to fluctuations in currency exchange rates can arise when we or any of our foreign subsidiaries borrow funds or incur operating or other expenses in one type of currency but receive revenues in another. In such cases, an adverse change in exchange rates can reduce such subsidiary's ability to meet its debt service obligations, reduce the amount of cash and income we receive from such foreign subsidiary, or increase such subsidiary's overall expenses. Risks attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can also arise when the currency denomination of a particular contract is not the U.S. dollar. Substantially all of our PPAs in the international markets are either U.S. dollar-denominated or linked to the U.S. dollar except for our operations on Guadeloupe, where we own and operate the Boulliante power plant which sells its power under a Euro-denominated PPA with Electricité de France S.A. Our contracts from time to time contemplate costs which are incurred in local currencies. The way we often mitigate such is to receive part of the proceeds from the contract in the currency in which the expenses are incurred. Currently, we have forward contracts in place to reduce our foreign currency exposure and expect to continue to use currency exchange and other derivative instruments to the extent we deem such instruments to be the appropriate tool for managing such exposure. We do not believe that our exchange rate exposure has or will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We performed a sensitivity analysis on the fair values of our long-term debt obligations, and foreign currency exchange forward contracts. The foreign currency exchange forward contracts listed below principally relate to trading activities. The sensitivity analysis involved increasing forward rates at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 by a hypothetical 10% and calculating the resulting change in the fair values.
At this time, the development of our strategic plan has not exposed us to any additional market risk. However, as the implementation of the plan progresses, we may be exposed to additional or different market risks.
The results of the sensitivity analysis calculations as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are presented below:

Effect of Inflation
We do not expect that inflation will be a significant risk in the near term, given the current global economic conditions, however, that could change in the future. To address rising inflation, some of our contracts include certain provisions that mitigate inflation risk.
In connection with the Electricity segment, none of our U.S. PPAs, including the SCPPA Portfolio PPA, are directly linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Inflation may directly impact an expense we incur for the operation of our projects, thereby increasing our overall operating our profit and gross margin. The negative impact of inflation may be partially offset by price adjustments built into some of our PPAs that could be triggered upon such occurrences. The energy payments pursuant to our PPAs for some of our power plants such as the Brady power plant, the Steamboat 2 and 3 power plants and the McGinness Complex increase every year through the end of the relevant terms of such agreements, though such increases are not directly linked to the CPI or any other inflationary index. Lease payments are generally fixed, while royalty payments are generally calculated as a percentage of revenues and therefore are not significantly impacted by inflation. In our Product segment, inflation may directly impact fixed and variable costs incurred in the construction of our power plants, thereby increasing our operating costs in the Product segment. We are more likely to be able to offset all or part of this inflationary impact through our project pricing. With respect to power plants that we build for our own electricity production, inflationary pricing may impact our operating costs which may be partially offset in the pricing of the new long-term PPAs that we negotiate.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Our credit risk is currently concentrated with the following major customers: Sierra Pacific Power Company and Nevada Power Company (subsidiaries of NV Energy), SCPPA and Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC). If any of these electric utilities fail to make payments under its PPAs with us, such failure would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition. Also, by implementing our multi-year strategic plan we may be exposed, by expanding our customer base, to different credit profile customers than our current customers.
Sierra Pacific Power Company and Nevada Power Company accounted for 18.2% and 17.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
SCPPA accounted for 19.4% and 16.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
KPLC accounted for 15.3% and 15.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
We have historically been able to collect on substantially all of our receivable balances. Recently, we have been receiving late payments from KPLC in Kenya related to our Olkaria Complex and from ENNE in Honduras related to our Platanares power plant. As of March 31, 2019, the amounts overdue are \$29.4 million and \$18.0 million related to KPLC and ENNE, respectively, of which \$20.4 and \$3.0 million, respectively, were paid during April 2019. As we believe we will be able to collect all past due amounts, no provision for doubtful accounts has been recorded.
Government Grants and Tax Benefits
A comprehensive discussion on government grants and tax benefits is included in our 2018 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to this section in the three months ended March 31, 2019.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The information appearing under the headings "Exposure to Market Risks" and "Concentration of Credit Risk" in Part I, Item 2 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a. Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) required by Rules 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, as a result of the material weakness in internal over financial reporting described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2019 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Previously Identified Material Weakness in Internal Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We previously disclosed in our 2018 and 2017 Annual Reports the following material weakness which still existed as of March 31, 2019. In connection with the change in our repatriation strategy and the related release of the U.S. income tax valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2017, we did not perform an effective risk assessment related to our internal controls over the accounting for income taxes. As a result, we identified a deficiency in the design of our internal control over financial reporting related to our accounting for income taxes, which resulted in the restatements of the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and the restatement of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a misstatementioned balances and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Our management has concluded that this deficiency constitutes a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation Plan for Material Weakness
Subsequent to the evaluation made in connection with filing our Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, our management, with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, has continued the process of remediating the material weakness. In connection with the remediation process, we have:
- · performed an enhanced risk assessment related to our internal controls over the accounting for income taxes:
- · recruited additional tax personnel throughout the year, including a VP of Tax in January 2019;
- · engaged an external tax and accounting firm to prepare and review our annual and quarterly income tax provision;
- · implemented specific control procedures for the review, analysis and reporting of our income tax accounts, including control procedures of projections that support the deferred tax assets and liabilities;
- · strengthened our income tax controls with improved documentation, communication and oversight.
We have made substantial progress in accordance with our remediation plan. However, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to review, optimize and enhance our financial reporting controls and procedures, however, there can be no assurance that this will occur within 2019.
b. Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting in the first quarter of 2019 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
