−Removed: 2020 and approximately $29.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019.
+Added: (“Greenfield”), a Mexico company managed by an affiliate of a leading U.S.
+Added: asset manager, would acquire a minimum of 55% of the equity of AdR.
+Added: The Agreement also provided Suez MA with the option to purchase 20% of the equity of AdR.
+Added: If Suez MA did not exercise this option, NSC would retain 35% of the equity of AdR and Greenfield will acquire 65% of the equity of AdR.
+Added: The Agreement became effective when the certain conditions precedent related to the Project were met.
+Added: The aggregate investment to be made by the equity partners in the Project, in the form of equity and subordinated shareholder loans, is presently estimated at approximately 20% of the total cost of Phase 1 of the Project.
+Added: This Agreement was scheduled to expire on September 30, 2020.
+Added: NSC expected to generate a portion of its funding for its additional future equity investment in AdR through the sale to AdR of the land it had purchased for the Project.
+Added: As of June 30, 2020, NSC had paid approximately $ 3.0 million to acquire rights of way for the aqueduct to be constructed for the Project to deliver water to the Mexico public water system.
+Added: On June 29, 2020, AdR received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Director General of CEA and the Director General of CESPT terminating the APP Contract.
+Added: The reasoning provided in the Letter for the decision to terminate the APP Contract is that the Project (a) is not financially feasible due to increases in the construction, operating and financing costs for the Project in addition to negative changes in economic conditions (e.g.
+Added: interest rates and currency exchange rates);
+Added: (b) is not sustainable for CEA and CESPT given its financial unfeasibility;
+Added: (c) puts pressure to increase the rates charged to customers;
+Added: (d) would force the Government of the State to cover a deficit of CEA and CESPT, thus preventing the State Government from spending on investment programs or social expenditures;
+Added: and (e) negatively affects the general interest.
+Added: The Letter requested that AdR provide an inventory of the assets that currently comprise the “Project Works” (as defined in the APP Contract) for the purpose of acknowledging and paying the non-recoverable expenses made by AdR in connection with the Project, with such reimbursement to be calculated in accordance with the terms of the APP Contract.
+Added: The applicable law requires this list of non-recoverable expenses made by AdR in connection with the Project be submitted to CEA and CESPT within 20 business days from the date of receipt of the Letter.
+Added: AdR initiated an amparo claim before a federal district court in Tijuana, Baja California, to challenge the provision of the applicable law requiring submittal of the list of non-recoverable expenses within the 20 business days term, as AdR considers such term to be unreasonably short due to the magnitude of the Project and the scope of supporting documentation required to be provided with respect to the non-recoverable expenses.
+Added: AdR obtained an initial provisional suspension of the lapsing of such 20 day term from the court, and on August 10, 2020 the court made such suspension definitive until the completion of the amparo trial.
+Added: As such, as of the filing of this report, the 20 day term for filing the list of non-recoverable expenses is suspended.
+Added: The Company, AdR and NSC plan to vigorously pursue all legal remedies and courses of action available under the APP Contract and applicable law (including, if necessary, international treaties and agreements) with respect to any rights they may have upon termination of the APP Contract, including the reimbursement of expenses and investments.
+Added: However, the Company cannot provide any assurances that it will be able to obtain reimbursement for any expenses or investments made with respect to the Project.
+Added: The Company, AdR and NSC will terminate the various agreements ancillary to the Project as a result of the termination of the APP Contract unless the State elects to assume such agreements.
+Added: As a consequence of the termination of the APP Contract, the rights of way NSC and AdR acquired for the aqueduct no longer have any value due to the loss of their strategic importance derived from their incorporation in the Project.
+Added: Consequently, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $( 3.0 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to write off its investment in these rights of way.
+Added: The Company also recorded adjustments during the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $ 2.6 million and $ 2.2 million to reduce its operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, respectively, due to the planned cancellation (or transfer to the State) of a long-term land lease associated with the Project.
+Added: Based upon independent appraisals performed in July 2020, the fair value of the investment in land purchased for the Project exceeded its carrying value of $ 21.1 million as of June 30, 2020.
+Added: Included in the Company’s results of operations are general and administrative expenses from NSC and AdR, consisting of organizational, legal, accounting, engineering, consulting, and other costs relating to Project development activities.
+Added: Such expenses amounted to approximately $ 304,000 and $ 779,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and approximately $ 762,000 and $ 1,263,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
+Added: The assets and liabilities of NSC and AdR included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets amounted to approximately $ 23.4 million and $ 135,000 , respectively, as of June 30, 2020 and approximately $ 29.3 million and $ 2.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019.

−Removed: prices in markets that are not active;
−Removed: or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for
−Removed: substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
−Removed: Level 3 - Unobservable inputs
−Removed: that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
−Removed: Assets and liabilities are classified in
−Removed: their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

+Added: Under US GAAP, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.
+Added: US GAAP guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
+Added: Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.
+Added: Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.
+Added: The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
+Added: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
+Added: Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities;

−Removed: Critical Accounting Estimates
−Removed: The preparation of consolidated financial
−Removed: statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates
−Removed: and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
−Removed: at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
−Removed: Our actual results could differ significantly from such estimates and assumptions.
−Removed: Certain of our accounting estimates or
−Removed: assumptions constitute “critical accounting estimates”
−Removed: for us because:
−Removed: the nature of these estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and
−Removed: judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change;
−Removed: the impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition and results of operations is
−Removed: Our critical accounting estimates relate
−Removed: to the valuations of our (i) goodwill and intangible assets;
−Removed: and (ii) long-lived assets.
−Removed: Goodwill and intangible assets
−Removed: Goodwill represents the excess cost over
−Removed: the fair value of the assets of an acquired business.
−Removed: Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination accounted
−Removed: for as a purchase and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually.
−Removed: Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual
−Removed: values and reviewed periodically for impairment.
−Removed: We evaluate the possible impairment of goodwill annually as part of our reporting
−Removed: process for the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.
−Removed: Management identifies our reporting units, which consist of our retail, bulk,
−Removed: services and manufacturing operations, and determines the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities,
−Removed: including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units.
−Removed: We determine the fair value of each reporting
−Removed: unit and compare these fair values to the carrying amounts of the reporting units.
−Removed: To the extent the carrying amount of the reporting
−Removed: unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment loss is recorded.
−Removed: For the year ended December 31, 2019
−Removed: we estimated the fair value of our reporting units by applying the discounted cash flow method, the guideline public company method,
−Removed: and the mergers and acquisitions method.
−Removed: The discounted cash flow method relied
−Removed: upon seven-year discrete projections of operating results, working capital and capital expenditures, along with a terminal value
−Removed: subsequent to the discrete period.
−Removed: These seven-year projections were based upon historical and anticipated future results, general
−Removed: economic and market conditions, and considered the impact of planned business and operational strategies.
−Removed: The discount rates for
−Removed: the calculations represented the estimated cost of capital for market participants at the time of each analysis.
−Removed: We also estimated the fair value of each of our reporting units
−Removed: for the year ended December 31, 2019 through reference to the guideline companies and the market multiples implied by guideline
−Removed: merger and acquisition transactions.
−Removed: We weighted the fair values estimated for
−Removed: each of our reporting units under each method and summed such weighted fair values to estimate the overall fair value for each
−Removed: reporting unit.
−Removed: The respective weightings we applied to each method as of December 31, 2019 were consistent with those used
−Removed: as of December 31, 2018 and were as follows:
−Removed: Manufacturing
−Removed: Discounted cash flow
−Removed: Guideline public company
−Removed: Mergers and acquisitions
−Removed: The fair values we estimated for our retail and bulk reporting
−Removed: units exceeded their carrying amounts by 74% and 58%, respectively, as of December 31, 2019.
−Removed: The assets and liabilities for
−Removed: our services reporting unit (with the exception of our investments in land and rights of way for our Mexico project) consist almost
−Removed: entirely of those for PERC, which was acquired at fair value on October 24, 2019, and therefore we estimated that the fair
−Removed: value of our services reporting unit closely approximated its carrying value at December 31, 2019.
−Removed: Our manufacturing reporting
−Removed: unit consists entirely of Aerex and the remaining 49% ownership interest of Aerex was purchased on January 24, 2020 for $8,500,000.
−Removed: We considered this purchase, the manufacturing reporting unit’s results of operations for the year ended December 31,
−Removed: 2019, the manufacturing reporting unit’s projected results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the
−Removed: amount by which the estimated fair value of the manufacturing reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount as of December 31,
−Removed: 2018 to determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our manufacturing reporting unit exceeded its carrying
−Removed: amount at December 31, 2019.
−Removed: In February 2016, we acquired a 51%
−Removed: ownership interest in Aerex.
−Removed: In connection with this acquisition, we recorded goodwill of $8,035,211.
−Removed: Aerex’s actual results
−Removed: of operations for the six months in 2016 following the acquisition fell significantly short of the projected results that were
−Removed: included in the cash flow projections we utilized to determine the purchase price for Aerex and the fair values of its assets and
−Removed: Due to this shortfall in Aerex’s results of operations, we tested Aerex’s goodwill for possible impairment
−Removed: as of September 30, 2016 by estimating its fair value using the discounted cash flow method.
−Removed: As a result of this impairment
−Removed: testing, we determined that the carrying value of our Aerex goodwill exceeded its fair value and recorded an impairment loss of
−Removed: $1,750,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to reduce the carrying value of this goodwill to $6,285,211.
−Removed: of our annual impairment testing of goodwill performed during the fourth quarter, in 2017 we updated our projections for Aerex’s
−Removed: future cash flows, determined that the carrying value of our Aerex goodwill exceeded its fair value, and recorded an impairment
−Removed: loss of $1,400,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 to further reduce the carrying value of this goodwill to $4,885,211.
−Removed: We may be required to record additional impairment losses to reduce the carrying value of our Aerex goodwill in future periods
−Removed: if we determine it likely that Aerex’s results of operations will fall short of our most recent projections of its future
−Removed: In February 2019, we sold CW-Belize.
−Removed: As a result of this sale, CW-Belize has been accounted for as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements,
−Removed: and bulk segment goodwill of approximately $380,000 as of December 31, 2018 associated with CW-Belize was reclassified to
−Removed: long-term assets of discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of financial condition and included in the calculation
−Removed: of our gain on sale of discontinued operations of $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
−Removed: Long-lived assets
−Removed: We review the carrying amounts of our long-lived
−Removed: assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be
−Removed: Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market
−Removed: value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that
−Removed: would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable.
−Removed: For long-lived assets to be held and
−Removed: used, we recognize an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measure
−Removed: the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value.
−Removed: Through our former subsidiary, PT Consolidated
−Removed: Water Bali (“CW-Bali”), we built and operated a seawater reverse osmosis plant with a productive capacity of approximately
−Removed: 264,000 gallons per day located in Nusa Dua, one of the primary tourist areas of Bali, Indonesia.
−Removed: We recorded operating losses
−Removed: for CW-Bali as the sales volumes for its plant were insufficient to cover its operating costs.
−Removed: In 2017 and 2016 we determined,
−Removed: based upon probability-weighted scenarios for CW-Bali’s future undiscounted cash flows, that the carrying values of CW-Bali’s
−Removed: long-lived assets and our investment in CW-Bali were not recoverable.
−Removed: Consequently, we recorded impairment losses of $1.6 million
−Removed: and $2.0 million, in 2017 and 2016, respectively, to reduce the carrying values of these assets to their fair values.
−Removed: RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
−Removed: The following discussion and analysis of
−Removed: our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
−Removed: statements and accompanying notes included under Part I, Item 1.
−Removed: “Financial Statements”
−Removed: of this Quarterly
−Removed: Report and our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our
−Removed: fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Form 10-K”) and the information set forth under Item 7.
−Removed: “Management’s
−Removed: Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”
−Removed: of our 2019 Form 10-K.
−Removed: Three Months Ended March 31, 2020
−Removed: Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
−Removed: In late December 2018, our Board of Directors formally
−Removed: approved the sale of our subsidiary, CW-Belize, which was part of our bulk water operations, to BWSL and on February 14, 2019,
−Removed: we completed the sale (which was effective as of January 1, 2019) of CW-Belize to BWSL.
−Removed: In accordance with U.S.
−Removed: accepted accounting principles, the gain we realized on the sale of CW-Belize in 2019 of $3,621,170 ($0.24 per share on a fully
−Removed: diluted basis) is reflected in our 2019 consolidated results of operations as discontinued operations.
−Removed: The following discussion and analysis of
−Removed: our Consolidated Results and Results by Segment refers only to our continuing operations.
−Removed: Consolidated Results
−Removed: Net income from continuing operations attributable
−Removed: to Consolidated Water Co.
−Removed: stockholders for 2020 was $2,888,607 ($0.19 per share on a fully diluted basis), as compared to
−Removed: $2,565,261 ($0.17 per share on a fully diluted basis) for 2019.
−Removed: Total revenue for 2020 increased to $20,725,721 from $16,988,524
−Removed: in 2019, as a result of the performance of our retail and manufacturing segments and the addition of PERC’s revenue to our
−Removed: services segment.
−Removed: Gross profit for 2020 was $8,440,321 (41% of total revenue) as compared to $6,962,303 (41% of total revenue)
−Removed: For further discussion of revenue and gross profit see the “Results by Segment”
−Removed: discussion and analysis that
−Removed: General and administrative (“G&A”)
−Removed: expenses on a consolidated basis increased to $5,153,757 for 2020 as compared to $4,378,034 for 2019 as a result of incremental
−Removed: expenses of approximately $689,000 attributable to the addition of PERC.
−Removed: We believe the COVID-19 pandemic will likely have a material
−Removed: adverse impact on our future consolidated results of operations.
−Removed: See further discussion at “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
−Removed: Material Commitments, Expenditures and Contingencies –
−Removed: COVID-19 .”
−Removed: Results by Segment
−Removed: Retail Segment:
−Removed: The retail segment contributed $896,973
−Removed: and $741,047 to our income from operations for 2020 and 2019, respectively.
−Removed: Revenue generated by our retail water operations rose to $7,257,432
−Removed: in 2020 from $6,686,660 in 2019 due to a 10% increase in the volume of water sold.
−Removed: We believe the primary factor for this volume
−Removed: increase was drought-like conditions on Grand Cayman.
−Removed: Rainfall on Grand Cayman for the first three months of 2020 was only 12%
−Removed: of the amount of rainfall for the same period in 2019, and 12% of the 30-year historical average for rainfall for the first three
−Removed: months of the year.
−Removed: Retail segment gross profit increased to
−Removed: $4,270,812 (59% of retail revenue) for 2020 from $3,861,056 (58% of retail revenue) for 2019 as a result of the revenue growth.
−Removed: Consistent with prior periods, we record all non-direct G&A
−Removed: expenses in our retail segment and do not allocate any of these non-direct costs to our other three business segments.
−Removed: expenses increased to $3,373,839 for 2020 as compared to $3,117,278 for 2019 due to incremental employee costs arising from additional
−Removed: employees and annual salary increases.
−Removed: Bulk Segment:
−Removed: The bulk segment contributed $1,583,858
−Removed: and $1,941,810 to our income from operations for 2020 and 2019, respectively.
−Removed: Bulk segment revenue was $6,440,284 and
−Removed: $7,111,313 for 2020 and 2019, respectively.
−Removed: The decrease in bulk revenue from 2019 to 2020 is attributable to OC-Cayman, which
−Removed: experienced a decline in revenue of approximately $793,000 as a result of the two new contracts (at lower rates) with the Water
−Removed: Authority-Cayman (the “WAC”) for water supplied from (1) the Red Gate and North Sound plants which commenced in
−Removed: February 2019 and expires in 2024 and (2) the North Side Water Works plant, which commenced in July 2019 and expires
−Removed: Gross profit for our bulk segment was $1,875,704
−Removed: (29% of bulk revenue) and $2,156,722 (30% of bulk revenue) for 2020 and 2019, respectively.
−Removed: Gross profit in dollars decreased in
−Removed: 2020 as compared to 2019 due to lower margins earned by OC-Cayman on its new contracts (as compared to its previous contracts)
−Removed: with the WAC.
−Removed: Bulk segment G&A expenses remained
−Removed: relatively consistent at $292,046 for 2020 as compared to $261,412 for 2019.
−Removed: Services Segment:
−Removed: The services segment incurred losses from
−Removed: operations of ($290,265) and ($507,227) for 2020 and 2019, respectively.
−Removed: Services segment revenue increased to $3,114,813
−Removed: for 2020 from $100,577 for 2019 due to the addition of $3,001,073 in revenue from PERC as a result of our acquisition of 51% of
−Removed: this company in late October 2019.
−Removed: Gross profit for the services segment improved to $841,293 in
−Removed: 2020 as a result of the addition of PERC.
−Removed: The services segment incurred a gross loss of ($21,342) for 2019.
−Removed: G&A expenses for the services segment
−Removed: increased to $1,131,138 for 2020 as compared to $485,885 for 2019 due to the addition of PERC.
−Removed: Manufacturing Segment:
−Removed: The manufacturing segment contributed $1,095,778
−Removed: to our income from operations in 2020 as compared to $452,408 in 2019.
−Removed: Manufacturing revenue was $3,913,192 and
−Removed: $3,089,974 for 2020 and 2019, respectively.
−Removed: Manufacturing revenue increased from 2019 to 2020 due to an increase in the number
−Removed: of orders that resulted in expanded project production activity.
−Removed: Manufacturing gross profit was $1,452,512 (37% of manufacturing
−Removed: revenue) and $965,867 (31% of manufacturing revenue) for 2020 and 2019, respectively.
−Removed: The increase in manufacturing gross profit
−Removed: in dollars and as a percentage of revenue stems from a higher margin projects mix, coupled with overall higher production activity
−Removed: that led to improved plant efficiency.
−Removed: G&A expenses for the manufacturing
−Removed: segment dropped to $356,734 for 2020 as compared to $513,459 for 2019 as a result of a decrease in the amortization expenses for
−Removed: intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of Aerex.
−Removed: FINANCIAL CONDITION
−Removed: The significant changes in the components
−Removed: of our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 as compared to December 31, 2019 (other than the change in our
−Removed: cash and cash equivalents, which is discussed later in “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES”) and the reasons for these
−Removed: changes are discussed in the following paragraphs.
−Removed: Accounts receivable increased by approximately $2.4 million.
−Removed: This net increase reflects an increase in Aerex’s accounts receivable of approximately $2.0 million due to an extension of
−Removed: invoice due dates (unrelated to COVID-19) for Aerex’s largest customer along with an increase of $580,000 in accounts
−Removed: receivable of PERC.
−Removed: These increases were partially offset by a decrease in CW-Bahamas’
−Removed: accounts receivable of $595,000.
−Removed: Current inventory increased by approximately
−Removed: $3.0 million primarily as a result of incremental raw materials purchased to support Aerex’s increased production activity.
−Removed: Construction in progress decreased by approximately $1.0 million
−Removed: primarily due to the completion of the renovation of the North Side Water Works plant on Grand Cayman.
−Removed: LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
−Removed: Liquidity Position
−Removed: Our projected liquidity requirements for
−Removed: the balance of 2020 include capital expenditures for our existing operations of approximately $4.1 million, approximately $3.0
−Removed: million to be expended for NSC's and AdR's project development activities and approximately $1.3 million for dividends payable.
−Removed: Our liquidity requirements may also include future quarterly dividends if such dividends are declared by our Board.
−Removed: payments amounted to approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and approximately $5.1 million for
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2019.
−Removed: As of March 31, 2020, we had cash
−Removed: and cash equivalents of $32.3 million and working capital of $60.1 million.
−Removed: With the possible exception of the liquidity matter
−Removed: relating to CW-Bahamas that is discussed in the paragraphs that follow, we are not presently aware of anything that would lead
−Removed: us to believe that we will not have sufficient liquidity to meet our needs.
−Removed: CW-Bahamas Liquidity
−Removed: CW-Bahamas’
−Removed: accounts receivable balances
−Removed: due from the Water and Sewerage Corporation of The Bahamas (“WSC”) amounted to $17.8 million as of March 31, 2020
−Removed: and $18.4 million as of December 31, 2019.
−Removed: Approximately 75% of the March 31, 2020 accounts receivable balance was delinquent
−Removed: as of that date.
−Removed: The delay in collecting these accounts receivable has adversely impacted the liquidity of this subsidiary.
−Removed: of April 30, 2020, CW-Bahamas’
−Removed: accounts receivable from the WSC totaled approximately $16.0 million.
−Removed: Historically, CW-Bahamas has experienced
−Removed: delays in collecting its accounts receivable from the WSC.
−Removed: When these delays occur, we hold discussions and meetings with representatives
−Removed: of the WSC and The Bahamas government, and as a result, payment schedules are developed for WSC’s delinquent accounts receivable.
−Removed: All previous delinquent accounts receivable from the WSC were eventually paid in full.
−Removed: Based upon this payment history, CW-Bahamas
−Removed: has never been required to provide an allowance for doubtful accounts for any of its accounts receivable, despite the periodic
−Removed: accumulation of significant delinquent balances.
−Removed: As of March 31, 2020, we have not provided an allowance for CW-Bahamas’
−Removed: accounts receivable from the WSC.
−Removed: We believe the delays we have experienced
−Removed: in collecting CW-Bahamas’
−Removed: receivables were extended due to the impact of Hurricane Dorian, which devastated the northern
−Removed: Bahamas in September 2019.
−Removed: In addition, the economic impact of COVID-19 on The Bahamas government’s revenue sources
−Removed: may further delay the collection of CW-Bahamas’
−Removed: delinquent accounts receivable from the WSC.
−Removed: If CW-Bahamas continues to be unable to
−Removed: collect a significant portion of its delinquent accounts receivable, one or more of the following events may occur:
−Removed: (i) CW-Bahamas
−Removed: may not have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations;
−Removed: (ii) we may be required to cease the recognition of revenue on
−Removed: CW-Bahamas’
−Removed: water supply agreements with the WSC;
−Removed: and (iii) we may be required to provide an allowance for CW-Bahamas’
−Removed: accounts receivable.
−Removed: Any of these events could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results
−Removed: of operations, and cash flows.
−Removed: Discussion of Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended
−Removed: March 31, 2020
−Removed: Our cash and cash equivalents decreased
−Removed: to $32,310,781 as of March 31, 2020 from $42,902,669 as of December 31, 2019.
−Removed: Cash Flows from Operating Activities
−Removed: Net cash used in our operating activities
−Removed: was $288,649.
−Removed: This net cash used reflects net income generated for the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $3,249,605 as
−Removed: adjusted for (i) various items included in the determination of net income that do not affect cash flows during the year;
−Removed: and (ii) changes in the other components of working capital.
−Removed: The more significant of such items and changes in working capital
−Removed: components included depreciation and amortization of $1,882,068, an increase in accounts receivable of $2,395,094 and an increase
−Removed: in current inventory of $2,922,899 (primarily in the manufacturing segment).
−Removed: Cash Flows from Investing Activities
−Removed: Net cash used by our investing activities
−Removed: was $9,015,881.
−Removed: In January 2020, we acquired the remaining 49% ownership in Aerex for $8,500,000 in cash.
−Removed: Additions to property,
−Removed: plant and equipment and construction in progress used $516,331 in cash.
−Removed: Cash Flows from Financing Activities
−Removed: Net cash used by our financing activities
−Removed: was $1,287,358, almost all of which related to the payment of dividends.
−Removed: Material Commitments, Expenditures and Contingencies
−Removed: The worldwide coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which was formally
−Removed: recognized by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has had a profound negative impact on the economies of the
−Removed: countries in which we operate.
−Removed: Consequently, COVID-19 will likely have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial
−Removed: condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
−Removed: A discussion of the current effects of
−Removed: COVID-19 on each of our operating subsidiaries is provided in the following paragraphs.
−Removed: However, as the worldwide impact of COVID-19
−Removed: continues to develop and expand, its future effects on our company could differ materially from the information we are providing
−Removed: As preventative measures to combat the
−Removed: possible spread of COVID-19, the Cabinet of the Cayman Islands (“the Cabinet”) closed all Cayman Islands sea ports
−Removed: to international passenger arrivals effective March 13, 2020;
−Removed: and closed all Cayman Islands airports to international
−Removed: passenger arrivals effective March 22, 2020.
−Removed: Effective March 28, 2020, the Cabinet and Cayman Islands law enforcement
−Removed: enacted various ‘stay-at-home’
−Removed: regulations and curfews, which closed all businesses not deemed essential by the government
−Removed: and required citizens to stay at home unless they are purchasing necessities or engaged in an essential errand.
−Removed: the Cabinet relaxed some of the shelter-in-place regulations and set September 1, 2020 as the planned date for the reopening of
−Removed: the Cayman Islands’
−Removed: sea and air borders.
−Removed: As a result of these measures taken by the Cayman Islands government, tourism in
−Removed: the Cayman Islands has temporarily ceased and economic activity on Grand Cayman has slowed dramatically.
−Removed: The preventative measures
−Removed: taken by the Cayman Islands government in response to COVID-19 did not commence until the latter half of March 2020 and thus
−Removed: had a limited effect on our retail sales volumes for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
−Removed: However, the demand for water
−Removed: provided by our retail distribution network decreased by almost 13% for April 2020 as compared both to March 2020 and
−Removed: Consequently, we expect that our retail water sales for three months ending June 30, 2020 will fall short
−Removed: of both the retail water sales we generated for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the three months ended June 30,
−Removed: We expect that our retail water sales will continue to be materially adversely impacted until such time as tourism and the
−Removed: economy in the Cayman Islands fully recover from the effects of COVID-19.
−Removed: The Cayman Islands government has requested
−Removed: Cayman Water to temporarily suspend until further notice all disconnections for non-payment of its water services to ensure that
−Removed: all residents continue to have access to potable water during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to give customers that may experience
−Removed: financial hardship additional time to make their payments.
−Removed: We are complying with this request.
−Removed: We have closed our customer service
−Removed: office to comply with the government’s shelter-in-place regulations and consequently our customers can no longer pay their
−Removed: bills by visiting our office.
−Removed: Postal service on Grand Cayman was suspended from late March through April 2020, which
−Removed: prevented us from invoicing our customers in the customary manner.
−Removed: We have been required to employ alternative methods (including
−Removed: electronic mail and phone text messaging) to deliver our retail water invoices to our customers.
−Removed: The closure of the post office
−Removed: also inhibited our customers from paying us as they could not mail their payments.
−Removed: Given these circumstances we expect the balances
−Removed: of Cayman Water’s total accounts receivable and its delinquent accounts receivable to increase from historical norms in future
−Removed: periods, and as a result a significant portion of these receivables may ultimately prove to be uncollectible, necessitating an
−Removed: increase in our allowance for doubtful accounts.
−Removed: While we cannot presently quantify the
−Removed: financial impact of the anticipated decrease in Cayman Water’s revenue and the anticipated increase in its uncollectible
−Removed: accounts receivable, such factors could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations,
−Removed: and cash flows.
−Removed: Cayman Water’s operations have been
−Removed: designated as essential services by the Cayman Islands government.
−Removed: Presently, the day-to-day operations of Cayman Water’s
−Removed: water production facilities and distribution network have not been materially impeded by COVID-19 –
−Removed: we continue to produce
−Removed: and supply water to meet the demand for water in our retail license area.
−Removed: We believe Cayman Water has adequate spare parts and
−Removed: supplies in stock to continue normal operations for the remainder of 2020.
−Removed: Although it operates on Grand Cayman -
−Removed: and therefore is also affected by the preventative measures enacted by government that have been discussed previously - OC-Cayman
−Removed: sells water on a bulk basis to the WAC, which in turn provides this water to areas of Grand Cayman that are more residential, and
−Removed: less tourist related, than the license area served by Cayman Water.
−Removed: The monthly amounts OC-Cayman charges the WAC for water supplied
−Removed: under its water supply agreements consist of fixed amounts that constitute the majority of the amounts charged, and lesser amounts
−Removed: that vary with the volume of water supplied.
−Removed: Therefore, unlike Cayman Water, OC-Cayman’s revenue is not as directly affected
−Removed: by tourism on Grand Cayman and, due to the structure of the underlying water supply agreements, is not as acutely sensitive to
−Removed: declines in water demand.
−Removed: Rainfall during the first four months of
−Removed: 2020 on Grand Cayman was significantly less than the 30-year average and the same four months of 2019.
−Removed: As a result of the lower
−Removed: rainfall, the volume of water provided by OC-Cayman to the WAC in April 2020 did not vary significantly from that provided
−Removed: in March 2020 and increased by 2.5% from April 2019.
−Removed: We cannot presently determine as to what extent OC-Cayman’s
−Removed: future revenue will be impacted by COVID-19.
−Removed: OC-Cayman’s operations have been
−Removed: designated as essential services by the Cayman Islands government.
−Removed: Presently, OC-Cayman’s day-to-day operations have not
−Removed: been materially impeded by COVID-19 –
−Removed: we continue to produce and supply water to meet the requirements of our two water supply
−Removed: agreements with the WAC.
−Removed: We believe OC-Cayman has adequate spare parts and supplies in stock to continue normal operations for
−Removed: the remainder of 2020.
−Removed: The government of The Bahamas enacted Emergency Powers Regulations
−Removed: which became effective March 18, 2020 in an effort to combat the spread of COVID-19.
−Removed: These regulations closed all businesses
−Removed: not deemed essential by the government, encouraged the employees of non-essential businesses to work remotely and imposed 24 hour
−Removed: shelter-in-place curfew on all residents of The Bahamas other than those engaged in essential or pre-approved activities.
−Removed: 2020, the government banned all international travel to The Bahamas by closing all airports and seaports.
−Removed: As a result of these
−Removed: measures taken by The Bahamas government, tourism on New Providence Island, where CW-Bahamas operates, has temporarily ceased and
−Removed: economic activity in The Bahamas has slowed dramatically.
−Removed: In May 2020, the Bahamian government relaxed some of the shelter-in-place
−Removed: regulations but has yet to set dates for the reopening of The Bahamas to passenger flights and cruise ship arrivals.
−Removed: CW-Bahamas sells the water produced by
−Removed: its plants on a bulk basis to the WSC, which in turn provides water to the residences, businesses, and other end users on New Providence.
−Removed: Under the terms of each of its water supply agreements with the WSC, CW-Bahamas charges the WSC a fixed monthly amount, an amount
−Removed: each month that is based upon the amount of water supplied during the month and pass-through energy charges, therefore CW-Bahamas’
−Removed: revenue is impacted by changes in water demand and energy prices.
−Removed: The volume of water CW-Bahamas sold to the WSC did not vary significantly
−Removed: from March 2020 to April 2020, despite the downturn in economic activity on New Providence that began in April 2020
−Removed: that stems from the preventative measures taken by the government in March 2020.
−Removed: However, we believe that at some point in
−Removed: the coming months, if the current economic conditions in The Bahamas do not improve, CW-Bahamas will experience a decrease in the
−Removed: demand for its water, with a resulting decline in its revenue.
−Removed: In addition, the economic impact of COVID-19 on The Bahamas government’s
−Removed: revenue sources may further delay the collection of CW-Bahamas’
−Removed: delinquent accounts receivable from the WSC.
−Removed: CW-Bahamas’
−Removed: operations have been
−Removed: designated as essential services by the government of The Bahamas.
−Removed: Presently, CW-Bahamas’
−Removed: day-to-day operations have not
−Removed: been materially impeded by COVID-19 –
−Removed: we continue to produce and supply water to meet the requirements of our two water agreements
−Removed: with the WSC.
−Removed: We believe CW-Bahamas has sufficient spare parts and consumables inventories to continue normal operations for the
−Removed: remainder of 2020.
−Removed: Presently, COVID-19 has not materially
−Removed: impeded Aerex’s day-to-day operations.
−Removed: One specific product generated approximately
−Removed: 86% and 68% of Aerex’s sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.
−Removed: Aerex relies on one raw material supplier for the major component used in the manufacture of this product.
−Removed: Due to its relatively
−Removed: high cost and supplier manufacturing constraints, Aerex orders this component in increments based upon its production schedule.
−Removed: Shipments from the supplier of this component have at times fallen behind since the advent of COVID-19.
−Removed: Any disruption in the supply
−Removed: chain for this component or for the other raw materials used by Aerex due to COVID-19 (or other reasons) could have a material
−Removed: adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
−Removed: Aerex presently has 15 plant employees.
−Removed: Should a number of these employees become ill or be required to enter quarantine as a result of COVID-19, Aerex could be required
−Removed: to reduce or cease its manufacturing activities, which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition,
−Removed: results of operations and cash flows.
−Removed: PERC’s operations are considered
−Removed: essential services by the State of California.
−Removed: Presently, COVID-19 has not materially impeded PERC’s day-to-day operations.
−Removed: Approximately 51% of PERC’s revenue
−Removed: of $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was generated in California under contracts with government entities.
−Removed: The State of California has publicly acknowledged its on-going financial difficulties as a result of COVID-19, and such difficulties
−Removed: presently, or could in the future, extend to the various counties, municipalities and other government-related entities in California,
−Removed: including PERC’s customers, which could adversely impact PERC’s future revenue and the collection of its accounts receivable.
−Removed: Cayman Water Retail License
−Removed: We sell water through our retail operations
−Removed: under a license issued in July 1990 by the Cayman Islands government (the “1990 license”) that granted Cayman
−Removed: Water the exclusive right to provide potable water to customers within its licensed service area.
−Removed: Although the 1990 license was
−Removed: not expressly extended after January 2018, we continue to supply water under the terms of the 1990 license, as further discussed
−Removed: in the following paragraph.
−Removed: Pursuant to the 1990 license, Cayman Water has the exclusive right to produce potable water and distribute
−Removed: it by pipeline to its licensed service area, which consists of two of the three most populated areas of Grand Cayman Island:
−Removed: Mile Beach and West Bay.
−Removed: For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we generated approximately 35% and 39%, respectively,
−Removed: of our consolidated revenue and 51% and 56%, respectively, of our consolidated gross profit from the retail water operations conducted
−Removed: under the 1990 license.
−Removed: The 1990 license was originally scheduled
−Removed: to expire in July 2010 but was extended several times by the Cayman Islands government in order to provide the parties with
−Removed: additional time to negotiate the terms of a new license agreement.
−Removed: The most recent express extension of the license expired on
−Removed: January 31, 2018.
−Removed: We continue to operate under the terms of the 1990 license, providing water services to the level and quality
−Removed: specified in the 1990 license and in accordance with our understanding of its legal obligations, treating those obligations set
−Removed: forth in the 1990 license as operative notwithstanding the expiration of the express extension.
−Removed: We continue to pay the royalty
−Removed: required under the 1990 license.
−Removed: In October 2016, the Government of
−Removed: the Cayman Islands passed legislation which created a new utilities regulation and competition office (“OfReg”).
−Removed: is an independent and accountable regulatory body with a view of protecting the rights of consumers, encouraging affordable utility
−Removed: services and promoting competition.
−Removed: OfReg, which began operations in January 2017, has the ability to supervise, monitor and
−Removed: regulate multiple utility undertakings and markets.
−Removed: Supplemental legislation was passed by the Government of the Cayman Islands
−Removed: in April 2017, which transferred responsibility for economic regulation of the water utility sector and the negotiations with
−Removed: us for a new retail license from the WAC to OfReg in May 2017.
−Removed: We began license negotiations with OfReg in July 2017
−Removed: and such negotiations are continuing.
−Removed: We have been informed during our retail license negotiations, both by OfReg and its predecessor
−Removed: in these negotiations, that the Cayman Islands government seeks to restructure the terms of our license in a manner that could
−Removed: significantly reduce the operating income and cash flows we have historically generated from our retail license.
−Removed: The Cayman Islands government could seek
−Removed: to grant a third party a license to service some or all of Cayman Water’s present service area.
−Removed: However, as set forth in
−Removed: the 1990 license, “the Governor hereby agrees that upon the expiry of the term of this Licence or any extension thereof,
−Removed: he will not grant a licence or franchise to any other person or company for the processing, distribution, sale and supply of water
−Removed: within the Licence Area without having first offered such a licence or franchise to the Company on terms no less favourable than
−Removed: the terms offered to such other person or company.”
−Removed: We are presently unable to determine what
−Removed: impact the resolution of our retail license negotiations will have on our cash flows, financial condition or results of operations
−Removed: but such resolution could result in a material reduction (or the loss) of the operating income and cash flows we have historically
−Removed: generated from our retail operations and could require us to record an impairment losses to reduce the carrying value of our retail
−Removed: segment assets.
−Removed: Such impairment losses could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of
−Removed: operation and cash flows.
−Removed: CW-Bahamas Performance Guarantees
−Removed: Our contracts to supply water to the WSC
−Removed: from our Blue Hills and Windsor plants require us to guarantee delivery of a minimum quantity of water per week.
−Removed: If WSC requires
−Removed: the water and we do not meet this minimum, we are required to pay the WSC for the difference between the minimum and actual gallons
−Removed: delivered at a per gallon rate equal to the price per gallon that WSC is currently paying us under the contract.
−Removed: The Blue Hills
−Removed: contract expires in 2032 and requires us to deliver 63.0 million gallons of water each week.
−Removed: The Windsor contract expires in 2033
−Removed: and requires us to deliver 16.8 million gallons of water each week.
−Removed: NSC and AdR Project Development
−Removed: In 2010, the Company acquired, through
−Removed: its wholly-owned Netherlands subsidiary, Consolidated Water Cooperatief, U.A.
−Removed: (“CW-Cooperatief”), a 50% interest in
−Removed: (“NSC”), a development stage Mexican company.
−Removed: CW-Cooperatief has since purchased, through
−Removed: the conversion of a loan it made to NSC, additional shares that increased its ownership interest in NSC to 99.99%.
−Removed: NSC was formed
−Removed: to pursue a project (the “Project”) that originally encompassed the construction, operation and minority ownership
−Removed: of a 100 million gallon per day seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant to be located in northern Baja California, Mexico and
−Removed: accompanying pipelines to deliver water to the Mexican potable water system.
−Removed: As discussed in paragraphs that follow, during 2015
−Removed: the scope of the Project was defined by the State of Baja California (the “State”) to consist of a first phase consisting
−Removed: of a 50 million gallons per day plant and an aqueduct that connects to the Mexican potable water infrastructure and a second phase
−Removed: consisting of an additional 50 million gallons per day of production capacity.
−Removed: Through a series of transactions completed
−Removed: in 2012-2014, NSC purchased 20.1 hectares of land for approximately $20.6 million on which the proposed Project’s plant would
−Removed: be constructed.
−Removed: In 2012, NSC entered into a lease, with
−Removed: an effective term of 20 years from the date of full operation of the desalination plant, with the Comisión Federal de Electricidad
−Removed: for approximately 5,000 square meters of land on which it plans to construct the water intake and discharge works for the plant.
−Removed: The amounts due on this lease are payable in Mexican pesos at an amount that is currently equivalent to approximately $26,000 every
−Removed: This lease may be cancelled by NSC should NSC ultimately not proceed with the Project.
−Removed: In August 2014, the State enacted
−Removed: new legislation to regulate Public-Private Association projects which involve the type of long-term contract between a public-sector
−Removed: authority and a private party that NSC is seeking to complete the Project (the “APP Law”).
−Removed: Pursuant to this new legislation,
−Removed: on January 4, 2015, NSC submitted an expression of interest for its project to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Urban Development
−Removed: of the State of Baja California (“SIDUE”).
−Removed: SIDUE accepted NSC’s expression of interest and requested that NSC
−Removed: submit a detailed proposal for the Project that complied with the requirements of the new legislation.
−Removed: NSC submitted this detailed
−Removed: proposal (the “APP Proposal”) to SIDUE in late March 2015.
−Removed: The new legislation required that such proposal be
−Removed: evaluated by SIDUE and submitted to the Public-Private Association Projects State Committee (the “APP Committee”) for
−Removed: review and authorization.
−Removed: If the Project was authorized the State would be required to conduct a public tender for the Project.
−Removed: In response to its APP Proposal, in September 2015
−Removed: NSC received a letter dated June 30, 2015 from the Director General of the Comisión Estatal del Agua de Baja California
−Removed: (“CEA”), the State agency with responsibility for the Project, stating that (i) the Project is in the public interest
−Removed: with high social benefits and is consistent with the objectives of the State development plan;
−Removed: and (ii) that the Project should
−Removed: proceed, and the required public tender should be conducted.
−Removed: In November 2015, the State officially commenced the tender for
−Removed: the Project, the scope of which the State defined as a first phase to be operational in 2019 consisting of a 50 million gallon
−Removed: per day plant and an aqueduct that connects to the Mexican potable water infrastructure and a second phase to be operational in
−Removed: 2024 consisting of an additional 50 million gallons per day of production capacity.
−Removed: A consortium (the “Consortium”)
−Removed: comprised of NSC, NuWater S.A.P.I.
−Removed: (“NuWater”) and Suez Medio Ambiente México, S.A.
−Removed: MA”), a subsidiary of SUEZ International, S.A.S., submitted its tender for the Project in April 2016 and in June 2016,
−Removed: the State designated the Consortium as the winner of the tender process for the Project.
−Removed: Due to the amount of capital the Project
−Removed: requires, NSC will ultimately need an equity partner or partners for the Project.
−Removed: Consequently, NSC’s tender to the State
−Removed: for the Project was based upon the following:
−Removed: (i) NSC will sell or otherwise transfer the land and other Project assets to
−Removed: a new company (“Newco”) that would build and own the Project;
−Removed: (ii) NSC’s potential partners would provide
−Removed: the majority of the equity for the Project and thereby would own the majority interest in Newco;
−Removed: (iii) NSC would maintain
−Removed: a minority ownership position in Newco;
−Removed: and (iv) Newco would enter into a long-term management and technical services contract
−Removed: for the Project with an entity partially owned by NSC or another Company subsidiary.
−Removed: In August 2016, NSC and NuWater incorporated
−Removed: Newco under the name Aguas de Rosarito S.A.P.I.
−Removed: (“AdR”), a special purpose company, to complete the Project
−Removed: and executed a shareholders agreement for AdR agreeing among other things that (i) AdR would purchase the land and other Project
−Removed: assets from NSC on the date that the Project begins commercial operation and (ii) AdR would enter into a Management and Technical
−Removed: Services Agreement with NSC effective on the first day that the Project begins commercial operation.
−Removed: NSC initially owned 99.6%
−Removed: of the equity of AdR.
−Removed: In February 2018, NSC acquired the remaining 0.4% ownership in AdR from NuWater.
−Removed: On August 22, 2016, the Public Private
−Removed: Partnership Agreement for public private partnership number 002/2015, bid number SIDUE-CEA-APP-2015-002 (“APP Contract”),
−Removed: was executed between AdR, the CEA, the Government of Baja California as represented by the Secretary of Planning and Finance and
−Removed: the Public Utilities Commission of Tijuana (“CESPT”).
−Removed: The APP Contract requires AdR to design, construct, finance and
−Removed: operate a seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant (and accompanying aqueduct) with a capacity of up to 100 million gallons
−Removed: per day in two phases:
−Removed: the first with a capacity of 50 million gallons per day and an aqueduct to the Mexican potable water system
−Removed: in Tijuana, Baja California and the second phase with a capacity of 50 million gallons per day.
−Removed: The first phase must be operational
−Removed: within 36 months of commencing construction and the second phase must be operational by January 2025.
−Removed: The APP Contract further
−Removed: requires AdR to operate and maintain the plant and aqueduct for a period of 37 years starting from the commencement of operation
−Removed: of the first phase.
−Removed: At the end of the operating period, the plant and aqueduct will be transferred to the CEA.
−Removed: The APP Contract does not become effective
−Removed: until the following open conditions, among others, have been met:
−Removed: the State has established
−Removed: and registered various payment trusts, guarantees and bank credit lines for specific use by the Project;
−Removed: AdR has obtained all rights
−Removed: of way required for the aqueduct;
−Removed: all debt financing agreements
−Removed: necessary to provide the funding to AdR for the first phase of the Project have been executed.
−Removed: In December 2016, the Congress of
−Removed: the State of Baja California, Mexico (“Congress”) passed Decreto #57 which, among other things, ratified and authorized
−Removed: the payment obligations of the corresponding public entities under the APP Contract and authorized the corresponding public entities
−Removed: to obtain a credit facility to guarantee their payment obligations.
−Removed: During 2017, following consultations between representatives
−Removed: of the State of Baja California and the Ministry of Finance of the Federal Government of Mexico, it was determined that certain
−Removed: amendments to Decreto #57 were required to comply with recent changes to the Federal Financial Discipline Law for Federative Entities
−Removed: and Municipalities.
−Removed: In addition, an amendment of Decreto #57 was required to authorize the inclusion of revenue from the CESPT
−Removed: in the primary payment trust for the Project.
−Removed: These amendments were included in Decreto #168, which was approved by the Congress
−Removed: in December 2017.
−Removed: The authorization of the payment obligations of the public entities under the APP Contract and for the execution
−Removed: of the credit agreement to guarantee such payment obligations given in Decreto #57, as amended by Decreto #168, expired on December 31,
−Removed: During the congressional session held at the end of March 2019, the Congress passed Decreto #335, which renewed the
−Removed: authorizations for the various payment trusts, guaranties and bank credit lines required to be established for the Project by the
−Removed: State entities.
−Removed: Decreto #335 expired December 31, 2019.
−Removed: During the congressional session held at the end of December 2019,
−Removed: the Congress passed Decreto #37, which renewed the authorizations for the various payment trusts, guaranties and bank credit lines
−Removed: required to be established for the Project by the State entities.
−Removed: Decreto #37 expires June 30, 2020.
−Removed: However, the expiration
−Removed: of Decreto #37 will not result in a termination of the APP Contract and/or the Project, as a new authorization may be issued by
−Removed: Following its issuance, the following legal
−Removed: proceedings were initiated against Decreto #335:
−Removed: trial filed by a certain congressman and his alternate in April 2019 .
−Removed: Given that neither AdR nor NSC are parties
−Removed: to this action, based on publicly available information the Company understands that in April 2019, a congressman of the
−Removed: Congress and his alternate filed this claim, stating that there are no interested third parties in this trial.
−Removed: Both the provisional
−Removed: and definitive suspensions of the effects of Decreto #335 requested by claimants, were denied by the Sixth District Court in Mexicali.
−Removed: As such, the effects of Decreto #335 have not been suspended.
−Removed: On July 31, 2019, this proceeding was dismissed.
−Removed: However, according
−Removed: to publicly available information, on August 15, 2019, the claimants appealed this dismissal.
−Removed: As neither AdR nor NSC are
−Removed: parties to this Amparo trial, they are not parties to that appeal.
−Removed: Based upon publicly available information, on February 6,
−Removed: 2020, the Sixth Collegiate Tribunal of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit dismissed such appeal.
−Removed: trial filed in May 2019 by certain individuals that allegedly form part of Consejo Coordinador Empresarial (a private local
−Removed: business association).
−Removed: This claim challenged the constitutionality and therefore, the validity of Decreto #335.
−Removed: an initial resolution dismissing the claim was issued by the First District Court in Tijuana.
−Removed: The claimants in this proceeding
−Removed: appealed this dismissal, and the appeal was resolved in the claimants’
−Removed: favor by a superior court, therefore forcing the admission
−Removed: of this amparo claim by the First District Court in Tijuana.
−Removed: Both the provisional and definitive suspensions of the effects of
−Removed: Decreto #335 requested by claimants were denied by the First District Court in Tijuana.
−Removed: On October 1, 2019, AdR appeared before
−Removed: the First District Court, to vigorously oppose this claim.
−Removed: On January 3, 2020, the First District Court in Tijuana dismissed
−Removed: On January 15, 2020, claimants appealed such dismissal, and such appeal has not been yet resolved.
−Removed: (c) Constitutionality
−Removed: challenge (Acción de Inconstitucionalidad) filed by certain congresspersons in May 2019 .
−Removed: Based on publicly
−Removed: available information, the Company understands that in May 2019, certain congresspersons filed this constitutionality challenge
−Removed: against Decreto #335.
−Removed: This challenge has yet to be resolved.
−Removed: Both the exchange rate for the Mexican
−Removed: peso relative to the dollar and general macroeconomic conditions in Mexico have varied since the execution of the APP Contract.
−Removed: These changes have adversely impacted the estimated construction, operating and financing costs for the Project.
−Removed: The APP Contract
−Removed: and the APP Law allow for the parties to negotiate (but do not guarantee) modifications to the consideration (i.e.
−Removed: water tariff)
−Removed: under the APP Contract in the event of such significant macroeconomic condition changes.
−Removed: In February 2017, AdR submitted proposals
−Removed: to the CEA requesting the definition of the mechanism required by the APP Contract to update the consideration under the APP Contract
−Removed: for changes in foreign exchange rates, lending rates and certain laws which have impacted the Project.
−Removed: On June 1, 2018, AdR
−Removed: and the CEA executed an amendment to the APP Contract which, among other things, increases the scope of Phase 1 of the Project
−Removed: by including the aqueduct originally designated for Phase 2, and addresses AdR’s concerns regarding the impact on the Project
−Removed: for changes in the exchange rate for the peso relative to the dollar and changes in interest rates that have occurred subsequent
−Removed: to the submission of the Consortium’s bid for the Project.
−Removed: As a result of this amendment to the APP Contract, the final cost
−Removed: of Phase 1 and the related consideration to be charged by AdR under the APP Contract will be determined based upon the bid submitted
−Removed: by the Consortium, the changes set forth in the amendment to the APP Contract and the economic conditions (e.g.
−Removed: interest rates
−Removed: and currency exchange rates) in effect on the financial closing date for Phase 1.
−Removed: In February 2018, AdR executed a subscription
−Removed: agreement (the “Agreement”) for the equity funding required for the Project.
−Removed: The Agreement calls for NSC to retain
−Removed: a minimum of 25% of the equity in AdR.
−Removed: One or more affiliates of Greenfield SPV VII, S.A.P.I.
−Removed: (“Greenfield”),
−Removed: a Mexico company managed by an affiliate of a leading U.S.
−Removed: asset manager, will acquire a minimum of 55% of the equity of AdR.
−Removed: Agreement also provides Suez MA with the option to purchase 20% of the equity of AdR.
−Removed: If Suez MA does not exercise this option,
−Removed: NSC will retain 35% of the equity of AdR and Greenfield will acquire 65% of the equity of AdR.
−Removed: The Agreement will become effective
−Removed: when the additional conditions related to the Project are met, including but not limited to those conditions discussed previously.
−Removed: The aggregate funding to be provided by AdR’s shareholders for the Project, in the form of equity and subordinated shareholder
−Removed: loans, is presently estimated at approximately 20% of the total cost of Phase 1 of the Project.
−Removed: This Agreement was originally scheduled
−Removed: to expire on June 30, 2019 but has been extended to September 30, 2020.
−Removed: NSC expects to generate a portion of its
−Removed: funding for AdR through the sale to AdR of the land it has purchased for the Project.
−Removed: Under the terms of the Agreement, Suez MA
−Removed: will design and construct the Project, while a joint venture company between NSC and Suez MA will operate the Project.
−Removed: In June 2018, AdR and Suez MA executed
−Removed: a contract whereby Suez MA will serve as the engineering, procurement and construction contractor for the Project with such contract
−Removed: becoming effective on the effective date of the APP Contract.
−Removed: If AdR is ultimately unable to proceed with the Project due
−Removed: to a failure by any of the parties involved to meet the conditions necessary for the APP Contract to become effective, or for any
−Removed: other reason, the land NSC has purchased and the rights of way deposits it has made may lose their strategic importance derived
−Removed: from their association with the Project and consequently may decline in value.
−Removed: If AdR does not proceed with the Project, NSC may
−Removed: ultimately be unable to sell this land or recoup its rights of way payments for amounts at least equal to their carrying values
−Removed: as of December 31, 2019 of approximately $24.2 million.
−Removed: Any loss on the sale of the land, or impairment losses NSC may be
−Removed: required to record as a result of a decrease in the (i) fair value of the land;
−Removed: or (ii) value of the rights of way arising
−Removed: from an inability to complete the Project, could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition and results
−Removed: of operations.
−Removed: Included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations
−Removed: are general and administrative expenses from NSC and AdR, consisting of organizational, legal, accounting, engineering, consulting
−Removed: and other costs relating to Project development activities.
−Removed: Such expenses amounted to approximately $458,000 and $484,000 for the
−Removed: three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
−Removed: The assets and liabilities of NSC and AdR included in the Company’s
−Removed: consolidated balance sheets amounted to approximately $29.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2020 and
−Removed: approximately $29.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019.
−Removed: Project Litigation
−Removed: Immediately following CW-Cooperatief’s
−Removed: acquisition of its initial 50% ownership in NSC, the remaining 50% ownership interest in NSC was held by an unrelated company,
−Removed: Norte Sur Agua, S.
−Removed: (“NSA”).
−Removed: NSA subsequently transferred ownership of half of its shares in NSC to
−Removed: EWG Water LLC (“EWG”) and the other half of its shares in NSC to an individual (the “individual shareholder”).
−Removed: In February 2012, CW-Cooperatief paid $300,000 to enter into an agreement (the “Option Agreement”) that provided it
−Removed: with an option, exercisable through February 7, 2014, to purchase the shares of NSC owned by the individual shareholder for
−Removed: a price of $1.0 million along with an immediate usufruct and power of attorney to vote those shares.
−Removed: Such shares constituted 25%
−Removed: of the ownership of NSC as of February 2012.
−Removed: In May 2013, NSC repaid a $5.7 million loan payable to CW-Cooperatief by
−Removed: issuing additional shares of its stock.
−Removed: As a result of this share issuance to CW-Cooperatief, we acquired 99.99% of the ownership
−Removed: The Option Agreement contained an anti-dilution provision that required CW-Cooperatief to transfer or otherwise cause the
−Removed: individual shareholder to acquire, for a total price of $1 (regardless of their par or market value), shares in NSC of an amount
−Removed: sufficient to maintain the individual shareholder’s 25% ownership interest in NSC if (i) any new shares of NSC were
−Removed: issued subsequent to the execution of the Option Agreement (causing the individual shareholder’s 25% ownership interest in
−Removed: NSC to be decreased);
−Removed: and (ii) CW-Cooperatief did not exercise its share purchase option by February 7, 2014.
−Removed: CW-Cooperatief
−Removed: exercised its option and paid the $1.0 million to the individual shareholder to purchase the Option Agreement shares in February 2014.
−Removed: In January 2018, EWG initiated an
−Removed: ordinary mercantile claim against the individual shareholder, NSC and CW-Cooperatief, (with AdR being named as a third party to
−Removed: be called to trial) before the Tenth Civil Judge in Tijuana, Baja California for Mercantile Matters (the “Tenth Civil Judge”).
−Removed: The paragraphs that follow include a description of such litigation, while subparagraphs a) through f) that follow describe certain
−Removed: separate amparo claims, an appeal and an administrative act arising from or relating to such ordinary mercantile claim, all in
−Removed: chronological order.
−Removed: In the ordinary mercantile claim, EWG challenged, among other things, the transactions contemplated under the Option Agreement, and therefore, the capital investment transactions that increased the ownership interest of CW-Cooperatief in NSC to 99.99% as a consequence of the Option Agreement.
−Removed: EWG requested that the courts, as a preliminary matter (a) suspend the effectiveness of the challenged transactions;
−Removed: (b) order certain public officials in Mexico to record the pendency of the lawsuit in the public records (including a special request to register a lien over the real estate owned by NSC);
−Removed: (c) appoint an inspector for NSC to oversee its commercial activities;
−Removed: and (d) order public officials in Mexico and credit institutions abroad to refrain from authorizing or executing any legal act related with the activities of the plaintiff, the co-defendants and the third party called to trial to avoid damages to third parties, including those with whom negotiations or any form of commercial or administrative activities, or activities of any other nature related with the “Rosarito”
−Removed: water desalination project, are being conducted.
−Removed: The Tenth Civil Judge granted, ex-parte, the preliminary relief sought by EWG, which resulted in the issuance of official writs to several governmental and public entities involved with the Project, including the registration of the pendency of the lawsuit in certain public records.
−Removed: a) AdR amparo claim against
−Removed: the preliminary relief sought by EWG.
−Removed: In April 2018, AdR filed an
−Removed: amparo against the official writs issued by the Tenth Civil Judge to two governmental entities.
−Removed: In May 2018, the amparo claim
−Removed: was amended to also request protection against additional official writs issued by the Tenth Civil Judge to two other governmental
−Removed: entities and one banking institution.
−Removed: In May 2018, the Third District Court for Amparo and Federal Trials in the State of
−Removed: Baja California with residence in Tijuana granted a temporary suspension of the effects and consequences of the claimed official
−Removed: writs issued by the Tenth Civil Judge pending a further determination by the Third District Court.
−Removed: Such suspension was granted
−Removed: definitively in July 2018, and in August 2018, a resolution determining that the claimed official writs are unconstitutional,
−Removed: EWG appealed such resolution, and in January 2020, the Collegiate Tribunal resolving such appeal dismissed the
−Removed: amparo filed by AdR.
−Removed: However, such dismissal does not adversely impact AdR, considering the resolution to the appeal mentioned
−Removed: in subparagraph b) that follows.
−Removed: On October 16, 2018, NSC was served with the ordinary mercantile claim.
−Removed: On November 7, 2018, NSC filed a legal response to the claim, vigorously opposing the claims made by EWG.
−Removed: In addition to such legal response, NSC filed (i) a request to submit the claim to arbitration, based on certain provisions of the by-laws of NSC, (ii) an appeal remedy against the preliminary relief, and (iii) a request for the setting of a guarantee to release the preliminary relief granted in favor of EWG.
−Removed: b) Appeal filed by NSC against the preliminary relief
−Removed: sought by EWG.
−Removed: The appeal remedy previously mentioned
−Removed: in item (ii) suspended the proceeding (through the posting of a guarantee by NSC), and was resolved in December 2019
−Removed: and communicated to EWG in January 2020.
−Removed: Such resolution revoked the order of the Tenth Civil Judge whereby EWG was granted
−Removed: the preliminary relief.
−Removed: filed by EWG against the revocation of the preliminary relief.
−Removed: In January 2020, EWG filed
−Removed: a new amparo claim against the resolution of the appeal remedy previously mentioned in item (ii).
−Removed: NSC has responded to this new
−Removed: amparo to vigorously oppose such amparo claim of EWG and to uphold the resolution of such appeal remedy.
−Removed: To this date, this amparo
−Removed: claim has not been resolved and, as such, it does not affect the revocation of the preliminary relief.
−Removed: On February 26, 2019, the Tenth Civil Judge acknowledged NSC’s filing of the legal response to the ordinary mercantile claim, its request to submit to arbitration, and the appeal remedy previously mentioned in item (ii) granting EWG a period of three business days to, among others, state what it deemed convenient to its interest.
−Removed: Further, on February 26, 2019, the Tenth Civil Judge set the guarantee requested in NSC’s November 7, 2018 legal response, in the form of a security deposit in the amount of 1,000,000 Mexican pesos, to release the preliminary relief sought by EWG.
−Removed: On March 4, 2019, NSC filed before the Tenth Civil Judge evidence of such security deposit, requesting the release of the mentioned preliminary relief.
−Removed: Irrespective of the resolution revoking the preliminary relief previously granted in favor of EWG (due to the filing of the security deposit by NSC) and the pendency of the appeal remedy filed by EWG against such revocation, on April 12, 2019, the Tenth Civil Judge granted EWG the opportunity to file a counter guarantee in the amount of 1,500,000 Mexican pesos to maintain the ex-parte preliminary relief granted in its favor.
−Removed: With respect to this matter, the Tenth Civil Judge issued a resolution on April 26, 2019 allowing such counter guarantee to be filed in the form of a security deposit or in any other form allowed by the law, without extending the term initially granted for the filing of the counter guarantee.
−Removed: NSC has vigorously opposed the resolution of the Tenth Civil Judge allowing the filing of a counter guarantee through the filing of a revocation remedy.
−Removed: To date, such appeal remedy has not been resolved.
−Removed: Further, on April 12, 2019, the Tenth Civil Judge ruled that the request for arbitration filed on November 7, 2018 was not applicable under Mexican law.
−Removed: filed by NSC against the resolution rejecting submission to arbitration.
−Removed: On May 17, 2019, NSC filed
−Removed: an amparo claim against the April 12, 2019 ruling.
−Removed: Such amparo claim was resolved on October 31, 2019, ordering the Tenth
−Removed: Civil Judge to issue a new resolution on the request to submit the claim to arbitration.
−Removed: EWG filed an appeal remedy opposing such
−Removed: order for the issuance of a new resolution, and NSC has filed pleadings to uphold the order for the issuance of a new resolution
−Removed: challenged by EWG.
−Removed: In March 2020, such appeal remedy was resolved in favor of NSC, as the order to the Tenth Civil Judge for
−Removed: issuing a new resolution was confirmed.
−Removed: While such order requires the Tenth
−Removed: Civil Judge to issue a new resolution on the matter of arbitration, this order does not necessarily imply that the Tenth Civil
−Removed: Judge shall rule to move to arbitration.
−Removed: However, if the new resolution is unfavorable for NSC, NSC is prepared to vigorously
−Removed: oppose such resolution.
−Removed: e) Administrative
−Removed: cancellation of registrations before the Public Registry of Property.
−Removed: Despite the posting of the previously mentioned 1,000,000 Mexican
−Removed: pesos guarantee in February 26, 2019 to release the preliminary relief sought by EWG within the ordinary mercantile claim,
−Removed: the Tenth Civil Judge failed to make the resolution effective, which would thereby rescind the previously mentioned preliminary
−Removed: relief granted to EWG.
−Removed: Consequently, on June 19,
−Removed: before obtaining a resolution revoking the preliminary relief as mentioned previously), NSC filed before the Public
−Removed: Registry of Property of Baja California a cancellation request for the provisional lien and the preventive annotation recorded
−Removed: against NSC’s property in the public real estate records.
−Removed: On June 24, 2019, the Public
−Removed: Registry of Property of Baja California issued an encumbrances cancellation resolution, approving the release of the provisional
−Removed: lien and the preventive annotation recorded against NSC’s property in the public real estate records.
−Removed: Such encumbrances cancellation
−Removed: resolution was registered before the Public Registry of Property of Playas de Rosarito on June 25, 2019.
−Removed: 2019, the Public Registry of Property of Playas de Rosarito issued a certificate of no liens with respect to the real estate owned
−Removed: f) Amparo filed by EWG against
−Removed: the administrative cancellation of registrations before the Public Registry of Property.
−Removed: In November 2019, NSC learned
−Removed: that EWG had filed an amparo claim before the Third District Court in Tijuana against such encumbrances cancellation resolution,
−Removed: and in December 2019, NSC responded to such claim, vigorously opposing it.
−Removed: Thereafter, NSC submitted a motion to dismiss,
−Removed: based on the resolution of the appeal remedy previously mentioned in subparagraph b) revoking the preliminary relief, previously
−Removed: mentioned in item (ii).
−Removed: The Court resolved in favor of such motion to dismiss.
−Removed: However, EWG may file an appeal remedy against such
−Removed: On June 27, 2019, the Tenth Civil Judge acknowledged the posting, by EWG, of a bond policy as the counter guarantee allowed pursuant to the Tenth Civil Judge’s ruling on April 26, 2019.
−Removed: NSC plans to vigorously oppose the filing of such bond policy upon continuation of the proceedings, following the suspension granted as a result of the filing of the appeal remedy previously mentioned in subparagraph b).
−Removed: CW-Cooperatief has not been officially served with the ordinary mercantile claim, and AdR has not been notified that it has to appear for such trial.
