    2. STATUTORY ACCOUNTS

    Management reportDear shareholders,

    In accordance with the Code des sociétés [Belgian Company law] and our articles of association, we are pleased to report to you on our management during the financial year

    ending on 31.12.2014 and to submit the annual accounts as of 31.12.2014 for your approval.

    A true and accurate review on business development, profit and loss and company’s situation

    INTRODUCTION

    Since 31 December 2013, ORES Assets scrl has been the official Distribution System Operator (DSO) of 197 municipalities until then affiliated within the eight former mixed intermunicipal distribution system operators which were Ideg, IEH, IGH, Interlux, Intermosane (sector 2), Interest, Sedilec and Simogel . The 2014 financial year is therefore the first full financial year realised under the name of ORES Assets .

    As an intermunicipal company taking the form of an scrl and designated as the distribution system operator, ORES Assets is operating in a particular setting . The management of distribution networks is a regulated activity, for which a monopoly is awarded for a specific period . A regulatory

    framework, consisting of laws, decrees, orders and decisions by the regulators, frames the regulated activity of ORES Assets . Thus the rates invoices by our intermunicipal company for the use of its network or for various services realised at the request of network users must be approved in advance by the regulator and the application of these rates is inspected afterwards . The principles and procedures for determining and inspecting the rates are provided in the regulatory framework . It also specifically stated the costs that may be passed on in the rates and their classification, established a “cost plus” system which determines the return on capital invested by the shareholders of ORES Assets, sets the depreciation rate, defines the regulatory balances and their allocation, etc

  • 9STATUTORY ACCOUNTS

    Since the full liberalisation of the energy markets, the fair return pays the average capital invested in the distribution networks (REMCI) . This is established on the basis of the average annual value of the regulated asset base (or RAB) and is calculated annually taking account of new investments, decommissioning, amortizations, as well as changes to the working capital requirements .

    The Royal Decrees of 12 September 2008, the main texts constituting the regulatory pricing framework, defined the formula to be used to determine fair pay as follows:

    • In the case that the equity represents over 33% of the regulated asset base (invested capital or RAB)(a) 33% * average RAB * (1 + alpha) *{(OLOn) +

    (Rp * Beta)} + (b) (S – 33%) * average RAB * (OLOn + 70 basis points)

    • In the case that the equity is less than or equal to 33% of the regulated assets33% * average RAB * (1 + alpha) * {(OLOn) + (Rp * Beta)}

    With:

    • S = equity compared to regulated asset

    • OLOn = Belgian linear 10 year bond rate for the year concerned

    • Beta = 0 .65 in the electricity sector and 0 .85 in the gas sector (as ORES Assets is not publicly listed); this Beta factor weights the risk premium Rp

    • Rp = risk premium for the operating year concerned = 3 .5%

    • (1 + alpha) = 1 .2 = illiquidity factor applied to the return on equity for S

    With regard to the non-controllable costs, the following developments are given:

    • The depreciation (20% per annum) of the premium paid in 2009 in the context of the repurchase of Netwall shares in Electrabel and activated in 2014 or 1,188 k€;

    • Use of the transmission network (Elia charge) increased by 14,775 k€ or 4 .7 % (increase in Elia prices);

    • The cost of PSO’s (Public Service Obligations) increased by 4,410 k€ or 9 .2 % (significant commercial bad debt on protected customers and “supplier X”) ;

    • the electricity road charge is stable compared to 2013;

    • The cost for compensation of losses, decreased in 2014 by 8,212 k€ (combination of prices and amounts);

    • The adjustment of provisions for risks and charges: in 2014, closure of several “movement of installations” cases which resulted in the reversal of the provision of 742 k€ .

    • The “Reconciliation” provision of 1,200 k€ has also been subject to a reversal of provision;

    • Non-capitalised pension costs decreased to 1,477 k€ .

    The result on “Other” activities is 753 k€ in 2014 versus 865 k€ in 2013 .

    The total profit in 2014 is 50,110 k€ versus 59,534 k€ in 2013, or a decrease of 9,424 k€ (-15 .8 %) . It should be remembered that the decrease of the profit is mainly explained by a decrease of the REMCI due to a sharp decrease in the average 10-year OLO price (-29 .2 % compared to 2013) .

    In the context of the allocation of the profits, appropriation of the available reserves was realised to an amount of 7,759 k€ and this in accordance with the dividend policy established by ORES Assets . In 2013, the appropriation to the available reserves increased to 6,037 k€ .

    The 2014 dividends attributable to shareholders are as follows:

    • Public sector: 33,422 k€ vs . 42,320 k€ in 2013

    • Electrabel: 8,929 k€ vs . 11,177 k€ in 2013

    C) GAS (all sectors)

    The result on the “Network Operator” activity (27,255 k€ vs . 27,729 k€) comprises:

    • Products (170,639 k€ vs . 165,101 k€) such as:- The transit fees invoiced: these amount to 147,621 k€ in

    2014 versus 172,474 k€ in 2013 and include RTNR (transit fees not recorded) . The quantities transported and billed decreased by 15 .3% . In this regard it should be noted that there was a significant decrease in degree days in 2014 compared to 2013 (-28 %) and compared to a so-called normal year (average 30 years from 1981 to 2010) (-23 %) . Clearly, in 2014 the temperatures were very mild compared to 2013 .

    - Regulatory assets/liabilities:in 2014: 23,019 k€ (Assets)in 2013: -7,373 k€ (Liabilities)

    • Operating costs (143,384 k€ vs . 137,372 k€) increased by 6,012 k€ or 4 .4 .% compared to the 2013 financial year . They comprise the controllable costs which amounted to 38,827 k€ an increase by 2,459 k€ (-6 %) and non-controllable costs of 104,557 k€ an increase of 8,471 k€ or 8 .8% .

    The controllable costs include the costs for distribution and network management, infrastructure maintenance as well as costs for measurement and metering operations .

    With regard to the non-controllable costs, the following developments are given:

    • The depreciation (20% per annum) of the premium paid in 2009 in the context of the repurchase of Netwall shares in Electrabel and activated in 2014 or 597 k€;

    • The cost of PSO’s (Public Service Obligations) increased by 3,563 k€ (significant commercial bad debt on protected customers and “supplier X”) ;

    • The gas road charge has increased by 2,694 k€ ;

    • Depreciation and losses on decommissioning of installations, increased by 2,498 k€;

    • The adjustment of provisions for risks and charges: in 2014, closure of several “movement of installations” cases which resulted in the reversal of the provision of 2,025 k€ . However, an additional provision was made for environmental provisions relating to contaminated sites for 1,467 k€ .

    The result on “Other” activities is 93 k€ versus 127 k€ in 2013 .

    The total profit in 2014 is 27,348 k€ versus 27,856 k€ in 2013, or a decrease of 508 k€ . As for electricity, the decrease in the result is explained by a decrease in REMCI among other due to the sharp decline in the 10 year OLO price (-29 .2 %) . Its impact has however been partially offset by an increase in the RAB and an increase in the equity that, with the 10 year OLO price are the two other significant parameters involved in the calculation of the REMCI .

    In the context of the allocation of the profits, appropriation of the available reserves was realised to an amount of 9,616 k€ and this in accordance with the dividend policy established by ORES Assets . In 2013, the appropriation to the available reserves increased to 2,527 k€ .

    The 2014 dividends attributable to shareholders are as follows:

    • Public sector: 14,046 k€ vs . 20,019 k€ in 2013

    • Electrabel : 3,686 k€ vs . 5,310 k€ in 2013

    BALANCE SHEET DEVELOPMENTS

    Balance sheet items at 31 December 2014

    The total balance sheet at 31 December 2014 is 3,704,225 k€ versus 3,609,138 k€ at 31 December 2013 .

    A) Assets

    In 2014, the premium paid in 2009 on the redemption of the Netwall shares in Electrabel or 8,926 k€ was activated in the intangible assets and amortised for the first time up to 20% or 1,785 k€ . Along with this increase in intangible assets, we have recorded a decrease in our financial holdings for the same amount .

    The tangible fixed assets increase by 79,119 k€ due to investments for the year of 209,880 k€, offset by the depreciation applied of 105,102 k€, the “decommissioning” of installations for 5,284 k€ as well as the “amortisation” of the “RAB” gain of 20,375 k€ .

    As for the difference between the initial RAB (Regulatory Asset Base) and the book value of the tangible fixed assets, ORES Assets has booked it, due to the specific nature of this difference, in a separate section of the tangible fixed assets and amortises it at 2% per annum, in accordance with the Royal Decrees of 2 September 2008 .

    In this regard, we refer to the reader to the notes in the valuation rules at the end of the financial statements .

    As regards the financial fixed assets, ORES Assets holds 2,452 shares in ORES scrl, 7 shares in Laborelec and 2,400 shares in Igretec .

    Stock and orders in progress consist of work in progress on behalf of private individuals and municipalities .

    The trade receivables amount to 123,961 k€, or a decrease of 32,691 k€ compared to 31 December 2013 . These trade receivables consist notably of receivables vis-a-vis energy suppliers in the framework of invoicing for transit charges (-14,918 k€), as well as receivables from protected customers and “supplier X”(-14,981 k€) .

    The “other receivables” section notably includes receivables relating to damage to the networks caused by third parties, receivables from the State relating to IPM (tax on legal entities) and the VAT to be recovered .

    The accruals include the balance of the pension capital remaining to be taken for an amount of 84,686 k€, the gas highway fee of 19,356 k€, regulatory assets of 149,221 k€, as well as the RTNR (transit fee not recorded), the stock of green certificates and the ENR (energy not recorded) .

  • 14 FINANCIAL STATEMENT ORES Assets scrl 2014

    B) LiabilitiesThe subscribed capital at 31 December 2014 was 787,320 k€ .

    • A Shares: 401,936 k€

    • R shares: 385,384 k€

    It increased by 15,950 k€ following the recapitalisation of 42,227 k€ at the end of 2014 to finance investments for the financial year . Part of this increase was funded by the public shareholders through a conversion of R shares (262,768 R shares or 26,277 k€) .

    The revaluation of fixed assets at 604,180 k€ represents the initial difference between the RAB and the book value of these assets . This section was decreased by 20,375 k€ following the amortization of the gain implemented at a rate of 2% per annum .

    The reserves increased by 37,750 k€ as a result:

    • Of the transfer of reserves not available for the amortisation of the gain on the revaluation of 20,375 k€ (from the “gain on revaluation” section)

    • For the appropriation to the available reserves, in the context of the allocation of the results, for 17,375 k€

    The provisions for risks and charges fell from 18,058 k€ to 14,731 k€ in 2014 which is a decrease of 3,327 k€ . As a reminder, this evolution is explained as follows:

    • An increase of 1,593 k€ for the environmental provision for “contaminated sites”;

    • The reversal of the “Reconciliation” provision of 1,200 k€

    • A decrease in the provision for disputes in the past (moving installations) of 2,628 k€;

    • Recovery of the provision of various disputes of 1,092 k€ .

    Debts of over a year of 1,655,591 k€ or a decrease of 11,177 k€ . They represent the loans from credit institutions (1,108,287 k€) and guarantees provided by subdivision companies to be repaid later (2,071 k€) . It should be noted that since 2012, the company ORES scrl, the subsidiary of ORES Assets, raised capital on the market of 619,750 k€ in the form of:

    • Private investments: 189,750 k€

    • Bonds: 350,000 k€

    • Other type of bond loan: 80,000 k€

    The share made available to ORES Assets by ORES scrl is 545,232 k€ .

    Debts payable after one year falling due within the year consist of the capital loans from Belfius, ING, CBC and BNP Paribas (176,214 k€) to be repaid in 2015 .

    The trade liabilities mainly comprise the various suppliers as well as the invoices to be received .

    The prepayments received on orders (19,985 k€) include the intermediate billing to protected customers and to “supplier X” customers (PSO), and deposits from customers for work to be done .

    The majority of the tax liabilities comprise the withholding tax payable on the dividends (2,272 k€) and the withholding tax on interest on the ORES scrl current account (5,355 k€) .

    The section other liabilities (20,217 k€) primarily includes the balance of the gross dividends from the 2014 financial year to be paid to shareholders after the Ordinary General Meeting (16,281 k€), the “Energy fund” advance (502 k€) and the Gas fund (769 k€) .

    The liabilities and deferred income mainly comprise the regulatory liabilities (32,644 k€) and the neutralisation of differences between charges and income from the 2008 financial year for road charges, pension costs and the Elia fees (17,481 k€);

    7. The use of financial instruments by the company

    ORES Assets has a current account with the operating company when in need of funds .

    ORES Assets has concluded bank loans with major Belgian financial institutions in compliance with the public procurement procedures for services .

    In 2014, ORES SCRL agreed a new issue of bonds for 80 M€ .

    As a reminder, a commercial paper programme was established in early 2011 by ORES SCRL with a guarantee for the 8 DSO’s of 250 M€ for a period of 10 years . Besides the commercial papers for a period of less than one year, this programme allows the issue, since 2012 of commercial papers with a five to eight year term .

    In 2012, ORES SCRL issued bonds as part of the introduction of the guarantee fund provided by the 8 DSO’s in favour of ORES . The amounts obtained through the bond issue and the private investments made it possible to cover the funding needs of ORES and the 8 DSO’s for 2012 and 2013 . Two short term credit lines, as yet unused were subscribed by ORES for a total of 100 M€ and are available until the end of 2014; they have just been renewed .

    Nevertheless, in the future ORES must continue a funding policy using diverse sources on the capital market .

    A change to the interest rates has an impact on the level of the financial charges . To reduce the risk to a minimum, ORES and ORES Assets apply a funding policy that seeks to achieve an optimal balance between fixed and variable interest rates . In addition, hedging instruments are used to cover uncertain developments . The funding policy takes account of the difference in the duration of the loans and the lifespan of the assets . These three points (interest rate, term of the loans and use of hedging derivatives) were the subject of decisions by the competent bodies of ORES Assets and the 8 DSO’s before the merger and ORES that made it possible to determine the financial policy required for active debt management .

    In order to control the interest rate risk, ORES and ORES Assets use hedging derivatives such as interest rate swaps (short term rates to long-term rates) as well as interest rate CAP . Debt management and market data are monitored carefully . No derivative instruments are used for speculative purposes .

  • 16 FINANCIAL STATEMENT ORES Assets scrl 2014

    8. Risks and uncertaintiesDescription of the measures taken to meet the risks and uncertainties which the company faces .

    a) Regulatory, statutory risks and uncertainties

    A regulatory framework defines ORES activities . Any change made by the legislature or the competent regulator may impact ORES, to a greater or lesser extent . Since 1st July 2014, the electricity and gas pricing competence was regionalised . From now on, anything related to this falls under regional authority, which strengthens the coherence between the policy and financing through pricing . The CWaPE has become the sole competent regulator for the distribution of electricity and gas on the territory of the Walloon municipalities . A pricing method and prices were approved by this regulator for the 2015 and 2016 financial years . They are part of the continuity of the framework applicable to DSO’s since 2009 . ORES must ensure the operational efficiency and cost control in order to fist within the 2015-2016 budgets approved by the regulator, despite the new needs for resources required for the essential modernisation of the networks .

    The authority to rule on the regulatory balances has also been entrusted to the CWaPE by decree . The 2015-2016 rates have a repercussion in tenths on the regulatory balances resulting from the 2018-2013 period through the rates .

    The CWaPE plans to change the applicable pricing method for the next regulatory period . ORES is part of this commitment, notably to allow the adaptation of the pricing structure to the constraints and structure of the DSO’s costs, to ensure sustainability and a long-term vision of the DSO’s operations . Although the change to the pricing method may have an impact on the profitability of ORES, the obligation of the regulator and legislators to take account of the principles of the European Directives of the Third Energy Package limits this risk .

    Furthermore, the Walloon Government adopted a Regional Policy Declaration at the beginning of each term, which includes a section on energy and gives the outline of the energy policy . ORES strives proactively to anticipate changes that may result, as with all other legal and regulatory changes that may impact its business . This fits within ORES commitment to act as a market facilitator, to position itself as a legitimate partner and recognised as the preferred partner for public authorities in relation to energy policy .

    b) Operational risks

    Risks related to the degradation of the networks

    ORES manages the electricity and natural gas distribution networks to ensure their reliability . However, natural phenomena and intentional or unintentional damage by third parties may result in incidents and failures on these networks . Insurance policies aim to cover the financial consequences of these risks .

    Technological risks

    The rapid evolution in the number of decentralised electricity production facilities creates uncertainty on the specific characteristics the distribution network of tomorrow will have to meet . One of the technological challenges facing ORES is therefore how to integrate intelligence into the networks, taking the explosion of the information to convey,

    with a technical perspective, a redefinition of the networks and the telecommunications strategy related to it . Smart meters, smart grids, active participation of the customer who is sometimes a consumer, sometimes a producer, portfolio management are all current topics that ORES continues to take into account by testing different concepts through projects and pilots . These prototypes makes it possible to verify the technological performance of assets, yesterday ancillary to the main activity and tomorrow the core of the DSO business .

    Risk of black-outs and shortages

    In addition, the intermittent and unpredictable nature of this increasing renewable energy production also contributes to changing the historic balance in the electricity system . The emergence of means of generating electricity, from renewables, challenges the traditional generation and may result in significant variations in electricity output both on the transport networks and on the distribution networks . This increases the risk of the implementation of protective operations that may result in a blackout (total collapse of the network) . Another risk of shortages has appeared due to the unavailability of old conventional plants (lack of predictable capacity related to an imbalance between generation and consumption) . To guarantee, or restore this balance, the federal authorities and the transmission system operator (TSO) Elia have established a series of actions and measures, to which ORES also contributed . The company evaluated the impact of load shedding decided by the Authorities on the supply of power to qualified priority customers by these same Authorities . ORES has also implemented information took for any customers affected by load shedding, introduced crisis management exercises and updated the ad hoc procedures .

    Risks related to data quality

    The control of data is an essential challenge to meet regulatory requirements, ensuring effective internal control, to meet the expectations of our stakeholders and to make strategic decisions facing the challenges that lie ahead in the development of the DSO’s activities . Projects and programmes have been in progress in this field since 2013 .

    Energy market model

    The development of the Belgian market model resulting amongst others from the increased decentralised production, management of flexibility or private networks may impact on the roles of the TSO, DSO, party responsible for balance, producer and supplier which have until now traditionally been well-defined . ORES pays close attention to this development and wishes, in this context, to reaffirm its role as market facilitator for which it has been recognised as DSO since the start of the liberalisation of the electricity and gas markets . In this context, ORES participates in studies to define the interactions between the stakeholders on the market, the roles of each party and the responsibilities related to them .

    Environmental risks

    The implementation of legal provisions such as the decree of 5 December 2008 on soil management could justify costs related to the remediation of some contaminated sites . In this context, ORES takes appropriate measures in terms of prevention of soil pollution and information regarding the existence of contamination . Ad hoc provisions have been drawn up .

  • 17STATUTORY ACCOUNTS

    Health and Safety risks

    Regardless of the activity of a company, ORES considers it crucial that its personnel have a constant awareness of the importance of prevention and compliance with health and safety regulations to limit the risk of accident and incident in the workplace . In this context, the company implements an action plan that is reviewed annually .

    Risk of legal action

    The risk of legal actions is inherent to ORES’ activities . Adequate provisions have been or shall be established to cover this risk .

    IT and telecommunications risks

    As a general rule, modification or loss of databases, a failure of computer systems, the spread of computer viruses or hackers, a failure of the telecommunications network . . . may hinder the smooth running of the business and service to the customer . ORES takes the necessary precautions to protect its systems and its data, as well as their communication and to prevent any intrusion in the management of its activities .

    c) Financial risks

    Credit risks

    A commercial papers programme was established in early 2011 by ORES scrl with a guarantee of ORES Assets scrl . Since 2012, a commercial paper with a duration of five to eight years was issued within this framework . In 2012, a guarantee fund was provided by ORES Assets scrl in favour of ORES scrl, the latter being responsible for finding the funding required for the activity . The amounts collected via bond issues in 2012, 2014 and 2015 and the issue of private equity can cover the financing needs of ORES . Two short term credit lines were subscribed by ORES scrl for a total amount of 100 M€ and are available until the end of 2017 . ORES pursues a financing policy using diverse sources on the capital market .

    Interest rate risks

    A change to the interest rates has an impact on the level of the financial charges . To reduce the risk to a minimum, ORES applies a funding policy that seeks to achieve an optimal balance between fixed and variable interest rates . In addition, hedging instruments are used to hedge uncertainties . The funding policy takes account of the difference in the duration of the loans and the lifespan of the assets .

    In order to control the interest rate risk, ORES also uses derivative financial instruments such as swaps (short-term rates to long-term rates) and interest rate CAP . Debt management and market data are monitored carefully . No derivative instruments are used for speculative purposes .

    Tax risk

    As of tax year 2016 (2015 income) ORES Assets scrl shall no longer be subject to the tax on legal entities but to corporation tax, as is already the case for ORES scrl . The pricing method provides that any tax burden is actually integrated in the rates so the impact of this imposition should be limited for ORES .

    Risks to property and liquidity

    In the context of the management of this risk, ORES is able to request a bank guarantee from counterparties for billing network usage charges, and strengthens specific debt collection actions relating to works carried out in the context

    of network management via the awarding of public contracts to collection companies .

    ORES has a short-term funding capacity through the aforementioned commercial paper programme and credit lines; we consider the liquidity risk of ORES as almost nil .

    Cash management makes it possible to limit market risks, the structure of property and liquidity . The management bodies have implemented a prudent investment policy; based on diversification and the use of products with a limited risk (on credit and interest rate exposure) . Finally, the pricing method provides that all the costs related to the finance policy are covered by the regulatory package .

    Macro-economic and cyclical economic risks

    The current financial crisis could affect the demand for electricity and natural gas . In principle, this possible decrease in volumes is not borne by ORES . The pricing method provides that any loss of subsequent results shall be included as part of the approval of the regulatory balances and reflected in principle in the prices for the following regulatory period .

    d) Risks to image

    In general, some circumstances may have a negative influence on ORES’ image . The company is careful to avoid the proliferation of misconceptions specifically by giving explanations on cost control for the distribution or the various components of the customers’ invoice .
