ANNUAL REPORT 2008

INTRODUCTION

This Report covers the period of activity of the first 4 years of the Management Contract (2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008) and can be considered like a final report for the first part of the Contract.

The review of the indicators of AWSC shows improvements during this period, big tasks have been implemented and still are under implementation.

We have to emphasize the increase of efficiency of the AWSC employees, as well as the raise of our customers confidence.

Despite these good results achieved by AWSC we faced some difficulties:

. In the war we lead against the illegal connections, the research is long and difficult. . In the program of installation of water meters AWSC encountered obstacles such as bad quality of WM in the market with law price, big debts of the customers created by the method of calculation by pipe diameter.

We have to mention some other things which have a negative impact on improvement of the Company’s activities:

. Lack of finances due to the low Tariff (unchanged since May 2005). . Lack of finances due to the level of subsidies.

Activities 2004-2008

G e n e r a l

Analyzing the dynamics of sales indicators for 2004-2008, it can be clearly stated that there is a trend of serious increase of all indicators. The company improves its indicators with steady steps. One of the main steps was strict interdiction of payments cash collection (by the employees of the Company). Presently the payments are 100% implemented in the departments of the Banks and Haypost offices.

A part of the activities of the Department became random checkings. The works of the control groups of the Company became stricter and more purposeful. The purpose is to struggle stronger against illegal connections. In the beginning of 2005 illegal connections could be detected everywhere, while presently the picture is different. Meantime we are still far from our main objectives. New methods of control are under development and will be implemented from 2009.

Special attention was paid (as an important commercial indicator) to calculation adjustment, especially in case of customers with water meters. Average monthly consumption of the resident- customers with water meters in 2004 from 4.0-5.0m3 in 2008 reached 8.0-8.5m3. There are a lot of activities to be implemented in this direction.

The debts of “Armenin Water and Sewerage” CJSC and “Water and Sewerage” CJSC were separated in the customers database.

Improvement of the following indicators is recognized as the objective of the Company:

Installation of water meters Improvement of recording (especially for the customers with water meters) Increase of number of paying customers Straggle against illegal connections Collection level improvement

A range of pilot projects has been implemented; some of them are presented below:

Private houses water meters installation out of the customer’s households in special chambers. Agarak town is a good example. Shortly concluding we can state that production of water decreased for about 5 times (150 l/sec. instead of 30 l/sec), daily water supply duration from 5 hours reached 24 hours, billing and collection for about two times.

Similar activities have been implemented also in Tashir, Yeghegnadzor, Ashtarak and towns.

10

ANNUAL REPORT 2008

Charentsavan town pilot project was also productive. About 1000 resident customers have been separated (residents of multi-storey buildings) with average monthly consumption of about 1-2m3. The water meters of all the customers (installed in the past of low quality) have been replaced with new high quality water meters, which were procured by the Company. The old water meters have been sent to the laboratory of the Company for testing. In the result of the testing it became clear that 99% of the water meters do not comply with the required standards, or does not work. Moreover, the old water meters are not anti-magnetic. The analysis implemented after installation of the new water meters revealed that the average monthly consumption of the mentioned customers is about 6-7m3 (instead of 1-2m3). The results give the basis to conclude that the water meters should be owned by the Company…

The company has some problems connected with water meter installation

. First of all breakdown and replacement of a lot of water meters during winter period every year (in the figures of the diagram replaced water meters are also included).

. 35 % of the customers still do not have water meters. The company has already implemented and even presently is implementing some pilot projects with this purpose. Involvement of legal services has increased.

. We have problems also with the previously installed low quality water meters (magnet application, etc.). Pilot project has been implemented and the results are obvious.

11

ANNUAL REPORT 2008

With the purpose of water meters installation and payments level increase once per each 4 months the Company is organizing LOTTERY. Those resident-customers can participate at the lottery, which have water meters installed and during the mentioned four months have paid for the consumption properly. A special computer program will choose four customers (one resident- customer from each region). Each winner will receive AMD 300 000. The lottery is periodically announced through Central and local mass media. The first pulling took place in October 2008 and 38645 resident-customers were participating. The analysis implemented each month after the drawing reveal that there is an obvious improvement in the process of water meters installation, as well as payments level. Next drawing of lots will take place in February 2009. The number of participating customers is about 47 000. If we compare it with the first drawing of lots, the results are satisfactory.

Another pilot project was implemented in Martuni town. About 800 resident-customers were separated, who for a period of one year were using the service of the Company, but were not paying for it. The purpose of the project was understanding of the reasons through questionnaire and finding the ways of solving it. The questionnaire was implemented by an NGO. After the summarizing of the results each month comparing of data was implemented.

Installation of watermeters Number of payments Collection

In some towns serviced by the Company pilot projects of customers’ debts adjustment, water meter installation and Contracts signing (Kapan, , Echmiadzin, etc.) have been implemented. The result was satisfactory; for example in Kapan town during one month about 2000 customers have installed water meters (the mentioned customers were not even paying for the consumption), and started punctually paying for the services. Monthly average collection from 15.0-16.0 mln. AMD reached 24.0-25.0 mln. AMD. Local and public Mass media involvement into the project increased. In the rest of the towns the results are also satisfactory.

COMMENTS ON 2007 WORKS ACTIVITY

A WORKS (self financing)

By the policy adopted by AWSC CJSC besides implementation of investment programs also implementation of general repairing and rehabilitation activities, by the internal financing of the company, was foreseen. Besides implementation of the foreseen activities modern tools and equipment application was planned, together with training of the personnel, working on this equipment.

The following directions for implementation of the prioritized activities were taken:

. Increase the time schedule of water supply . Increase of supplied water quality, . Works on water supply facilities and mains, . Works on distribution and sewerage networks.

Activities towards improvement of the supplied water quality involved construction of new chlorination stations and installation of new modern equipment. In the result of this activities not only produced water quantity increased, but also chlorination process became more effective and the dozing and quantity of the used chlorine became more definite. In the result of these activities accomplishment, at the end of 2008, in all the chlorination stations, the old equipment was replaced with ALLDOS chlorinators and about 52 new chlorination stations have been constructed in the perimeter.

The map below presents the projects implemented under AWSC self financing (site name is fixed near the Company’s logo).

16

ANNUAL REPORT 2008

The most part of the activities, implemented by the own means of the Company, refer to the distribution network. In all the phases of implementation of these activities PE pipes were used for the first time. By the way, if in 2005 for mounting and welding of these pipes Contractors services were required, then starting from 2006 the Company obtained and distributed between the branches PE pipes welding units, and special trainings were conducted and these activities presently are implemented by our Employees, which reduced the cost price. During 2005-2008 while implementation of all these projects about 158,2 km of pipeline of different types and diameters have been installed.

In 2007 the Company procured «ROSKAFLEX» injection polymeric technology for repairing of DRR walls leakages without construction interference.

Similar activities have been implemented in Akhtala, Alaverdi, Tsaghkadzor and regions DRRs and in water treatment stations sedimentation tanks.

Planned activities for 2009-2010

Due to lack of finance, AWSC will not be able to implement capital expenses in 2009.

ANNUAL REPORT 2008

. In 2008 89 vehicles out of 313 operating vehicles are rented by the Company.

. New approach for fuel expenses control was implemented. The consumption of fuel, distributed to the Branches of the Company was made in accordance with the number of present vehicles and their usage, in compliance with the real activities of the Branch.

. In all the Branches of the Company responsibles for transportation have been appointed, for controlling vehicles operation and maintenance issues.

. Fuel centralized system and vehicles operation card, C form, has been implemented, which gave the possibility to make fuel consumption control more productive.

Average fuel consumption required for 1 car of AWS CJSC by years Table-2

Fuel type 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008

Liquid fuel 3 837 2 017 2 017 1 659 1 625 l/vehicle

Gas - - - 1 738 1 738 l/vehicle

As you can see, there is an interrelation between the fuel consumption increase and the number of operating vehicles increase, while the indicator of fuel consumption of each vehicle is stable. This indicator shows that the critically low marginal indicator of fuel consumption of each car annually is equal to about 1800-2000 l. This is the expected consumption of all types of vehicles.

. In 2007 gas systems were installed on 96 vehicles of the Company. In the result of average and actual difference between gas and gasoline prices the Company each month saves about 4-4.5 mln. AMD, which gave the possibility of covering the expenses of gas system installation already from the first quarter of 2008.

. All the Vehicles, registered in the balance of the Company passed insurance, which gives the possibility to reduce the risks of possible breakdowns during operation.

2009-2010 planned activities

. During 2009 it is foreseen to procure new Kamaz sewer evacuators, Loader truck, /which will give the possibility to implement chlorine delivery and distribution program smoothly/, UAZ, Niva, Lada cars, excavators, compressors, welding machines and other equipment. Operation of own vehicles will release the Company from the big part of rented machines, which will cause saving of fuel and renting fees.

. Works are planned to make annual and perspective program on extension of the period of useful operation of the Company’s vehicles. The project will be implemented by the Heads of Transportation Departments of the Branches with the purpose to create real preventive and service capacity.

FINANCE AND ACCOUNTS, 2005-2008

A C C O U N T I N G

During 2005-2008 (hereinafter the reporting period) the process of maintaining accounting has been improved due to changes made in the Company’s accounting system. Thus, before 2005 the accounting was maintained in accordance with the old accounting legislation of the RA applying old chart of accounts. Starting from 2005 the accounting system was centralized and maintained by the Company’s head office and 4 regional branches instead of 36.

In the reporting period the Company’s accounting has been maintained based on the RA accounting standards applying Soft Master software program. The subdivisions of the Company’s Accounting department have been guided and managed by “Accounting Policy” and “Accounting Guideline” developed on the basis of proposals made by KPMG within the framework of the ”Water Metering billing/collection improvement in Armenia” program financed by the USAID.

For the purpose of ensuring the application of changes made in the RA laws referring to the Company’s activities, the Accounting Division of the Company regularly sends notifications to the accounting divisions of the branches. In case of necessity respective regulations have been worked out to facilitate the fulfillment of the RA legislation requirements.

During 2007 the Company’s accounting divisions submitted proposals on the new draft chart of accounts worked out by the Public Services Regulatory Commission for the persons having water use permits which have been accepted. Starting from 2008 works have been implemented to introduce the new charter plan in the Company’s accounting system. According to the new chart of accounts the accounting is maintained by separating the Company’s activities into three parts (water production and delivery, water distribution and water discharge). In the reporting period the Company’s Head Office submitted to the taxation authorities required reports implementing its the tax liabilities in due time. The Head Office made centralized payments timely (salaries of the employees, electricity, fuel, chlorine etc), as well as possible measures have been taken both in the Head Office and regional branches to avoid payable debts (except current accrued liabilities). It is worth mentioning that in 2005 respective activities have been pursued to pay the employees salaries by cards (in particular contract was concluded with “ArdShinInvestBank” CJSC to provide the employees with “ArCa” cards, thus reducing the Company’s cash transactions).

In general, during the reporting period the activities of Finance Division can be estimated as successful. Negotiations have been carried out with various RA commercial banks, “HayPost” CJSC to introduce and develop the process of receiving payments from legal entities and physical persons against the water and wastewater services provided by the Company.

Taking into account the proper fulfillment of the Company’s contractual obligations during the reporting period, “ArdShinInvestBank” CJSC and “VTB Armenia” CJSC provided the Company the right of overdraft. Moreover, as a result of cooperation, in 2008 “VTB Armenia” CJSC expressed readiness to sponsor the drawing of lots initiated by the AWSC CJSC to encourage its good customers which is currently organized on high level.

During the reporting period the Company’s Financial Division prepared appropriate calculations, clarifications and applications for the projects financed by the RA state budget (in particular subsidy project for covering the Company’s financial deficit). In 2005-2008 the Company was provided with subsidies correspondingly AMD 1366.4 mln, AMD1381.26 mln, AMD1381.26 mln and AMD 1213.53 mln.

For transparent and effective management of the Company, the Division planned financial flows for each year. The financial plan worked out on yearly basis included all the incomes and expenses calculations and justifications enabling to exercise control in relevant directions and make realistic financial plan for the next year based on actual results.

In 2008 the Financial Division prepared an application for reviewing the tariff of water and wastewater services provided by the Company and submitted it to the discussion of the RA Public Services Regulatory Commission. The results of final discussions are expected by the end of February, 2009 upon which from April 1, 2009 the Company will be able to provide services with new increased tariff thus ensuring the Company’s financial sustainability and improving the quality of provided services.
