GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT

In 2010, performance of Elektroprivreda Hr- vatske zajednice Herceg Bosne, d.d. Mostar was good. In spite of difficult circumstances caused by the crisis, performance of all organizational parts was very good due to good coordination of all officials and rational use of the available resources. Compared with the previous year, power generation in- creased by 34%. The Company operates seven hydro power plants. Thanks to good operating conditions and favourable hy- drological circumstances, the total power generation in 2010 was 2,604.67 GWh. The gross income (mainly from sales of electricity and services) was BAM 382,991,119 or 23% higher than in the previous year. The Company operated at a profit of BAM 40,746,515. The amount of BAM 59,390,013 was invested in various projects in all organizational parts. Continuous investment in the distribution network contributed to loss reduction by 1.3% at all distribution voltage levels. The collection rate was 98.73% (European average) or 1.73% higher than the plan. At the same time we worked on safe and quality supply to all customers. The newly constructed HPP Mostarsko Blato was put into operation in 2010. This multipurpose and complex power-generating plant - civil structure worth BAM 140,000,000 was constructed within four years. In addition to power generation, it will contribute to the field flood protection and agricultural production. In February 2010, the FBiH Government approved a decision confirming the “existence of a public interest” for construction of priority power-generating plants. According to this decision, Elektroprivreda Hrvatske zajednice Herceg Bosne will construct 11 gen- erating plants including six hydro power plants, four wind farms and the integrated lignite mining and power project. The total investment value of these generating plants is about BAM 3,200,000,000. The above-mentioned projects are in different stages of preparation and construction. We particularly worked on promotion of renewable energy sources and greenhouse gas emission reduction. This was con-

ANNUAL REPORT 2010. 4 firmed by laying the foundation-stone for construction of the first wind farm in BiH – Mesihovina – with the planned annual output of 128-146 GWh. Its construction will cost BAM 155,000,000. The major portion of funds was provided out of the German Develop- ment Bank KfW loan and the rest are our own funds. Construction of new generating plants will contribute to development of economy and industry and offer new possibilities for employment and business for many contractors. In addition, traffic infrastructure will be improved and there will be many other benefits for the large social community. In 2010, considerable funds were invested in other renewable energy projects as well as in revitalization and modernization of the existing hydro power plants, construction and reconstruction of the distribution network and facilities, and the projects of systematic improvement and modernization of the business operation. One of the projects for construction and reconstruction of the distribution facilities and network worth BAM 21,000,000 was implemented and financed out of the European Investment Bank (EIB) loan. The project for in- stallation of remote reading meters in substations was also completed and installation of remote reading meters for households is in progress. Meeting the European standards in the field of information technologies, JP Elektroprivreda HZHB d.d.

Other operating expenses were 8% higher than the plan due to the increase in the reservoir tax (index 107.2), water rate (index 115.8) and fee for Elektroprijenos (index 3.1) as a result of overfulfilment of the generation plan by 15.91 since these costs are charged per kWh of the generated power. The salary budget amounted to BAM 57,651,151 and was 7% bigger than in the previous year and 2% smaller than the plan. This decrease in the salary is a result of a different method of payroll computation in the Gross Profit and Loss Account through the SAP system since the previous year salary included taxable items and contribu- tions on: jubilee cash awards, holiday cash grants, religious holiday allowances and compensations in kind, benefit and services.This method was used in preparation of the 2010 salary plan. The largest portion of other expenses included the bad and doubtful debts (BAM 37,383,646) written-off after one year. The remaining portion of BAM 1,424,548 included penalties and compensations for damages (BAM 162,484), subsequently determined expenses from the previous years (BAM 520,969), undepreciated value write-off (BAM 370,108) and other expenses (BAM 350,987). On December 31, 2009, the total receivables from the tariff customers at distribu- tion levels, customers at 110 KV or above and customers abroad amounted to BAM 168,243,008, adjustment of receivables (BAM 96,148,503) and receivables after adjustment (BAM 72,094,505) that were 8.5% higer than the same receivables at the beginning of the year.

Balance Sheet On December 31, 2010, the Company assets value was BAM 1,250,572,538. It was higher than on December 31, 2009 (index 103.9). The value of the fixed assets (real property, facilities and equipment, and long-term investments and loans) increased by 3.4% and of the current assets (home and foreign trade receivables, raw material and material inventories and other short-term receivables) by 8.8%.

The total realized investment amount- ed to 72.3% of the plan. The invest- ment out of our own funds (index 54.5) was realized because temporary construction permits were not ob- tained (unsettlement or slow settle- ment of property disputes) and other permits necessary for the planned investment realization, and slow set- tlement of legal disputes connected to procurement of goods and services and work performance according to the Law on Public Procurement (bid- ders often appeal the Company’s con- tract award decisions).

COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE

25 ANNUAL REPORT 2010. Independent Auditors’ Report to the shareholders of JP Elektroprivreda Hrvatske zajednice Herceg-Bosne d.d. Mostar We have audited the accompanying financial statements of JP Elektroprivreda Hrvatske zajednice Herceg - Bosne d.d. Mostar (‘the Company’) which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2010, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explana- tory notes.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as man- agement determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reason- able assurance on whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assess- ment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity‘s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the en- tity‘s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting principles used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

1. As explained in Note 16 to the financial statements, trade receivables disclosed in the cor- responding 2009 figures included irrecoverable overdue amounts of KM 30,551 thousand for which the Company did not raise an impairment. The Company has recorded the impairment allowance relating to these irrecoverable overdue amounts in the current 2010 year income statement. International Accounting Standard (‘IAS’) 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Ac- counting Estimates and Errors, requires such an adjustment to have been recorded as a prior year adjustment and accordingly, the profit for the current year should be increased byKM 30,551 thousand and opening accumulated loss on 1 January 2010 should be increased by KM 30,551 thousand.

2. We were appointed as auditors of the Company on 29 March 2011 and thus did not observe the counting of the physical inventories as of 31 December 2010. We were unable to satisfy our- selves by alternative means concerning inventory quantities held at 31 December 2010. Since closing inventories enter into the determination of the financial performance and cash flows, we were unable to determine whether adjustments might have been necessary in respect of the profit for the year reported in the statement of comprehensive income and the net cash flows from operating activities reported in the cash flow statement.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010. 26 3. As explained in Note 13 to the financial statements, the Company recognized the effects of the revaluation of donated property, plant and equipment as increase in deferred income liabilities of KM 30,544 thousand at the date of a prior revaluation, which is not in accordance with In- ternational Accounting Standard (‘IAS’) 16 Property, plant and equipment which requires that an increase of asset‘s carrying amount as a result of a revaluation shall be recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of revaluation reserves. Due to the nature of the accounting records of the Company, we are unable to determine the net effect of such accounting treatment to the balances for deferred income, revaluation re- serves, accumulated loss income from donations and depreciation expense as at and for the year ended 31 December 2010 and prior 2009 related corresponding information.

4. The Company did not account for deferred taxation in accordance with International Accounting Standard (‘IAS’) 12 Income Taxes in the financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2010. Had deferred tax been accounted for in accordance Interna- tional Accounting Standard (‘IAS’) 12 Income Taxes, adjustments would have been made to increase deferred tax liabilities and decrease revaluation reserves by KM 24,583 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2010.

Qualified Opinion

In our opinion, except for the effects of the matters referred to in paragraphs 1 and 4 and except for the possible effects of the matter described in paragraphs 2 and 3 above under Basis for Qualified Opinion, the financial statements gives a true and fair view of the financial position as at 31 Decem- ber 2010, and of its financial performance and cash flow for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Other matters

The financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2009 were au- dited by another auditor who expressed a modified opinion in respect of valuation of trade receivables of BAM 30,551 thousand on those financial statements on 6 April 2010.

The HPP Mostarsko Blato is located south-west of Mostar and uses energy potential at the head of 178m between Mos- tarko Blato and Bišće Field i.e. the Neretva river valley. The HPP Mostarsko Blato collects the Lištica catchment in- flow water. This plant will not only be used for power gen- eration but also for the field flood protection by construction of new structures of the headrace tunnel and enclosed flood channel to the Neretva river.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010. 36 The plant consists of 9 civil structures - power facilities: reservoir, intake structure, headrace tunnel, surge tank and valve chamber, penstock, power house, tailrace basin, enclosed flood channel and linking transmission line. The preparation and construction started in 2006 and investment amounted to BAM 140 M. The annual output is 170 GWh and installed capacity 60 MW.

Basic data on the HPP Mostarsko Blato:

INTAKE STRUCTURE The headrace tunnel intake structure and headrace tunnel are situated 50 m south of the existing flood intake structure (the Varda tunnel). The intake structure consists of two parts. Its bottom is at the level of the headrace tunnel.

HEADRACE TUNNEL The 2207 m long headrace tunnel is constructed through the Varda hill behind the intake structure. The bottom elevation at the entrance is 214 m and at the end 196.20 m. The headrace tunnel has a horseshoe cross section with a radius of 4.2 m. The reinforced concrete lining is 30 cm thick.

SURGE TANK – LOWER CHAMBER AND UPPER BASIN At the end of the headrace tunnel a surge tank is located to compensate the water oscillations within the system which are caused by load changes of the generating sets. The vertical shaft connects the 47.0 m long lower chamber and the upper basin which has a circular shape and volume of 3,000.0 m3.

VALVE CHAMBER The valve chamber is located downstream from the surge tank and its dimensions are 10.70x9.70 m. It houses the butterfly valve and is situated at the headrace tunnel entrance.

POWER GENERATION DIVISION

37 ANNUAL REPORT 2010. PENSTOCK The penstock with the internal diameter of 3m and the length of 360 m has 3 fix points and 2 deflection joints. Its underground section is 140 m long.

POWER HOUSE The power house accommodates two 30 MW units. It is connected to the 110 kV overhead line. The power house is situated at the right Jasenica bank downstream from the stilling basin of the existing flood spillway on the toe of the hill Dobraljina.

TAILRACE BASIN The tailrace basin has a volume of 10 000 m3 and is situated downstream from the power house. It receives the water from the Jasenica river, HPP Mostarsko Blato and the existing flood spillway. It has a function to regulate the Jasenica river discharge and discharge to the flood channel or to the Neretva river. At the end of the tailrace basin 3 flaps for water discharge regulation are installed.

TRANSMISSION LINE The new 110 kV transmission line connects the HPP Mostarsko Blato to the 110 kV Mostar 4 (Čule substation) – Mos- tar 5 (Rodoč substation) transmission line included in the BiH grid.

FLOOD CHANNEL The flood channel is constructed for evacuation of the total HPP Mostarsko Blato installed flow of 40 m3/s. This enables the plant operation independent on the Jasenica discharge downstream. The intake structure has two 5m wide spillways with gates.The capacity of the spillways with open gates is 2x20 m3/s.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND LOCAL COMMUNITY The Environmental Impact Study is a part of the Feasilbility Study for the HPP Mostarsko Blato prepared by Verbundplan from Austria. It confirms that construction of the HPP Mostarsko Blato has a minimum impact on environment. It does not jeopardize the existing state and in addition to power generation, it provides better field flood protection (increased water discharge to the Neretva river). This will considerably contribute to development of agriculture and other industries in the whole region.

49 ANNUAL REPORT 2010. Non-technical or commercial losses make the largest portion of the distribution network losses. These losses result from electricity thieving or non-recording through meters that are damaged or non-sealed. Intensified efforts on theft prevention as well as other activities (reading, meter replacement, investment in the network) resulted in considerable loss reduction.

These results were achieved due to the following activities: •• Meter inspection. 49,832 meters were inspected and 417 customers thieved electricity. •• Meter replacement. 17,308 meters were replaced. Most of them were electronic meters with remote reading and monitoring. •• Meter relocation. Meters were relocated when customers thieved electricity and in transformer areas with increased losses.

59 ANNUAL REPORT 2010. Hydrometeorological System Following the global environmental protection principles and developing consciousness of protection of water as one of the main links in power genera- tion, JP Elektroprivreda HZHB d.d. Mostar established the hydrometeorological system for monitoring water quality and quantity in the flows in the areas of re- sponsibility of the Company as well as for monitoring weather-related parameters (air temperature and humidity, rain amount, wind speed and direction) in the locations important for power generation and water supply to river basins. The system has been in operation since September 2004 when it was the only such system in the greater area. All stations are automated and connected through the remote data-reporting system. The system consists of 28 hydrological and 8 meteorological stations. In the hydrological sta- tions water quality and quantity are measured: water temperature, pH value, redox factor, melted oxygen, saturated oxygen, specific conductivity, nitrate, ammonia, turbidity and total melted gases. The stations are equipped with all devices necessary for independent operation, monitoring and measuring parameters and with the remote data transmission system (through GSM signal) connected to its center in the headquarters in Mostar.

Information Center Data are transmitted according to remote transmission requirements at regular intervals or at a call. A photovolt- age system supplies the stations with clean energy. Its part is also the Hydras 3 software package, an application software for collection, processing and transmission of the measured values in the field of hydrology, meteorology and environmental protection. The Hydras 3 has a high performance database that enables many functions. The stations and devices are maintained according to standards. These automated stations and hydrological informa- tion system enable a simple and fast access to relevant data on qualitative and quantitative changes of water flows over time and space. This ensures more efficient operation and power generation optimization.

Environmental Protection Activities JP Elektroprivreda HZHB d.d. Mostar has been continuously implementing environmental protection measures according to the adopted Environmental Protection Policy. Each devel- opment project of the Company starts with preparation of the Environmental Impact Study. We obtained environmental permits for all existing hydro power plants and the wind farm Mesi- hovina under construction.The procedure of obtaining environmental permits for other planned facilities is carried out according to legal provisions. We regularly stock reservoirs and the Neretva river with fish.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010. 60 Employees are regularly educated and trained for preparation and introduction of the environmental pro- tection system. Three employees acquired EOQ Certificates for EOQ Environmental Systems Manager. Electronic and electric waste is disposed by the selected certified firm in accordance with the Waste Manage- ment Procedure adopted by the Management Board of JP Elektroprivreda HZHB d.d. Mostar. We also started activities on preparation of a Project Plan for Construction of Temporary Dangerous and Undangerous Waste Disposal Facilities in the Company.

61 ANNUAL REPORT 2010. CONCLUSION

MANAGEMENT BOARD’S REPORT In 2010, the total power generation in the hydro power plants operated by our Company was 2604.67 GWh or 115.91% of the plan. Power generation in all hydro power plants was higher than the plan due to very favourable hydrological circumstances. The losses at the distribution levels (16.18%) were still higher than the plan (15%) but lower than in the previous year (17.21%). We kept on inspecting meters and classifying customers by transformer area. All distribution units re- located meters in transformer areas where big losses were noticed. There were activities on detection and categorization of possible meter faults that could increase total non-technical losses. In addition, we carried out activities on the project of installation of remote reading meters. 22 additional residential buildings were prepared for remote reading. All three supply area units intensified their activities on payment collection resulting in the collection rate of 98.73%. It was higher than the plan (97%). The Power Supply Division collected BAM 3.230.058 more than in 2009. The average price for customers at distribution levels was 15.41 pf/kWh. The number of suits for debt was significantly reduced due to efforts and actions of the Company taken according to legal provisions. Achievement of this collection rate had a positive influence on the Company liquidity. All liquidity ratios – ratios of current liquidity, day-to-day liquidity, ac- celerated liquidity and financial stability were within the scope of the plan and better than in the previous year . Compared to the revised investment plan for 2010 (BAM 82,140,088), the realized investment amounted to BAM 59,390,013 or 72.3%. As a result of good performance in 2010, the profitability ratios – gross profit margin, ROA (return on assets), ROE (return on equity), ROI(return on investment), EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) were better than in the previous year.
