−Removed: $4.7 million, which OC-BVI believed represented the value of the Baughers Bay plant at its expanded production capacity.
−Removed: As a result of the final ruling made by
−Removed: the Appellate Court on this litigation in 2009, the BVI Government was awarded ownership of the Baughers Bay plant but OC-BVI

−Removed: the Baughers Bay plant at the date OC-BVI transferred possession of the plant to the BVI government and (ii) $1.42 million
−Removed: (the purchase price for the Baughers Bay plant under the 1990 Agreement).

−Removed: northern Baja California, Mexico and accompanying pipelines to deliver water to the Mexican potable water system.
−Removed: in paragraphs that follow, during 2015 the scope of the Project was defined by the State of Baja California (the “State”)
−Removed: to consist of a first phase consisting of a 50 million gallon per day plant and an aqueduct that connects to the Mexican potable
−Removed: water infrastructure and a second phase 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
−Removed: would be constructed.

−Removed: authority and a private party required for the Project (the “APP Law”).
−Removed: Pursuant to this new legislation, in January 2015,
−Removed: NSC submitted an expression of interest for its project to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Urban Development of the State of
−Removed: Baja California (“SIDUE”).
−Removed: SIDUE accepted NSC’s expression of interest and requested that NSC submit a detailed
−Removed: proposal for the Project that complies with the requirements of the new legislation.
−Removed: NSC submitted this detailed proposal (the

−Removed: 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: and (ii) that the
−Removed: Project should proceed, and the required public tender should be conducted.
−Removed: In November 2015, the State officially commenced
−Removed: the tender for the Project, the scope of which the State defined as a first phase to be operational in 2019 consisting of a 50
−Removed: million gallon per day plant and an aqueduct that connects to the Mexican potable water infrastructure and a second phase to be
−Removed: operational in 2024 consisting of an additional 50 million gallons per day of production capacity.

−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
−Removed: Project assets from NSC on the date that the Project begins commercial operations and (ii) AdR would enter into a Management

−Removed: was executed between AdR, the CEA, the Government of Baja California 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
−Removed: and 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: and authorized the corresponding public entities to obtain a credit facility to guarantee their payment obligations.
−Removed: following consultations between representatives of the State of Baja California and the Ministry of Finance of the Federal Government
−Removed: of Mexico, it was determined that certain amendments to Decreto #57 were required to comply with recent changes to the Federal
−Removed: Financial Discipline Law for Federative Entities and Municipalities.
−Removed: In addition, it was necessary to amend Decreto #57 to authorize
−Removed: the inclusion of revenue from the CESPT in the primary payment trust for 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: Through 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: 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 approximately $( 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: As a result of the cancellation of the APP Contract, during the three months ended September 30, 2020 the Company discontinued all project development activities associated with the Project and engaged a real estate broker and commenced active marketing efforts to sell the land NSC purchased for the Project.
+Added: Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of CW-Cooperatief, NSC and AdR, as well as all Project development expenses and the impairment loss incurred by the Company, have been reclassified from the services segment to discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
+Added: Summarized financial information for the Mexico project development is as follows:
+Added: Prepaid expenses and other current assets
+Added: Value added taxes receivable
+Added: Property, plant and equipment, net
+Added: Land and rights of way
+Added: Total assets of discontinued operations
+Added: Total liabilities of discontinued operations
+Added: Year Ended December 31,
+Added: Income from operations
+Added: Net loss from discontinued operations
+Added: Gain on sale of discontinued operations
+Added: Depreciation expense
+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 considered 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, the 20 day term for filing the list of non-recoverable expenses was suspended.
+Added: Therefore, on August 28, 2020, AdR submitted, in due time and form, its list of non-recoverable expenses, including those of NSC, to CEA and CESPT which was comprised of 51,144,525 United States dollars and an additional 137,333,114 Mexican pesos.
+Added: In February 2021, AdR withdrew this claim which was accepted by the federal district court in Tijuana.
+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 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.

−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 an amparo claim against the
−Removed: April 12, 2019 ruling.
−Removed: Such amparo claim was resolved on October 31, 2019, ordering the Tenth Civil Judge to issue a
−Removed: new resolution on the request to submit the claim to arbitration.
−Removed: EWG filed an appeal remedy opposing such order for the issuance
−Removed: of a new resolution, and such remedy has not yet been resolved.
−Removed: However, NSC has filed pleadings to uphold the order for the issuance
−Removed: of a new resolution challenged by EWG.
−Removed: In any event, the order for the
−Removed: Tenth Civil Judge to issue a new resolution on the request to submit the claim to arbitration does not necessarily imply that the
−Removed: Tenth Civil Judge shall rule to move to arbitration.
−Removed: However, if the new resolution is unfavorable for NSC, NSC is prepared
−Removed: to vigorously oppose such resolution.
−Removed: e) Administrative
−Removed: cancellation of registrations before the Public Registry of Property.
−Removed: Despite the posting of the previously
−Removed: mentioned 1,000,000 Mexican pesos guarantee in February 26, 2019 to release the preliminary relief sought by EWG within the
−Removed: ordinary mercantile claim, the Tenth Civil Judge failed to make her resolution effective, which would thereby rescind the previously
−Removed: mentioned preliminary 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: 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 procedure to vigorously oppose the claim of EWG.
−Removed: Thereafter, NSC submitted a motion
−Removed: to dismiss, based on the resolution of the appeal remedy revoking the preliminary relief, previously mentioned in item (ii).
−Removed: Court resolved in favor of such motion to dismiss.
−Removed: However, EWG may file an appeal remedy against such resolution.
−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 item (ii).
−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.
+Added: On October 1, 2020, and following an order from a Federal Judge obtained by NSC, the Tenth Civil Judge resolved to (i) move the claim of EWG to arbitration, and (ii) suspend the corresponding ordinary mercantile procedure.
+Added: Although EWG has certain remedies available to oppose to such resolution, at present NSC does not have knowledge of the filing thereof.
+Added: Notwithstanding the resolution of the Tenth Civil Judge to move to arbitration, subparagraphs a) through e) that follow describe certain separate amparo claims, an appeal and an administrative act arising from or relating to such ordinary mercantile claim, all in chronological order.
+Added: Due to the current global COVID-19 pandemic, most tribunals in Mexico have suspended their activities intermittently since March 2020, with certain such tribunals restarting activities in August 2020.
+Added: As such, several resolutions are pending issuance.
+Added: a) AdR amparo claim against the preliminary relief sought by EWG.
+Added: In April 2018, AdR filed an amparo against the official writs issued by the Tenth Civil Judge to two governmental entities.
+Added: In May 2018, the amparo claim was amended to also request protection against additional official writs issued by the Tenth Civil Judge to two other governmental entities and one banking institution.
+Added: In May 2018, the Third District Court for Amparo and Federal Trials in the State of Baja California with residence in Tijuana granted a temporary suspension of the effects and consequences of the claimed official writs issued by the Tenth Civil Judge pending a further determination by the Third District Court.
+Added: Such suspension was granted definitively in July 2018, and in August 2018, a resolution determining that the claimed official writs are unconstitutional, was issued.
+Added: EWG appealed such resolution, and in January 2020, the Collegiate Tribunal resolving such appeal dismissed the amparo filed by AdR.
+Added: However, such dismissal does not adversely impact AdR, considering the resolution to the appeal mentioned in subparagraph b) that follows.
+Added: b) Appeal filed by NSC against the preliminary relief sought by EWG.
+Added: The appeal remedy filed by NSC on November 7, 2018 mentioned previously, suspended the proceeding (through the posting of a guarantee by NSC) and was resolved in December 2019 and communicated to EWG in January 2020.
+Added: Such resolution revoked the order of the Tenth Civil Judge whereby EWG was granted the preliminary relief .
+Added: c) Amparo filed by EWG against the revocation of the preliminary relief.
+Added: In January 2020, EWG filed a new amparo claim against the resolution of the appeal remedy previously mentioned in item b).
+Added: NSC has responded to this new amparo to vigorously oppose such amparo claim of EWG and to uphold the resolution of such appeal remedy.
+Added: To this date, this amparo claim has not been resolved and, as such, it does not affect the revocation of the preliminary relief.
+Added: d) Administrative cancellation of registrations before the Public Registry of Property.
+Added: Despite the posting of a guarantee to release the preliminary relief sought by EWG within the ordinary mercantile claim, the Tenth Civil Judge failed to make the resolution effective, which would thereby rescind the previously mentioned preliminary relief granted to EWG .
+Added: Consequently, on June 19, 2019 (i.e.
+Added: before obtaining a resolution revoking the preliminary relief as mentioned previously), NSC filed before the Public Registry of Property of Baja California a cancellation request for the provisional lien and the preventive annotation recorded against NSC’s property in the public real estate records.
+Added: On June 24, 2019, the Public Registry of Property of Baja California issued an encumbrances cancellation resolution, approving the release of the provisional lien and the preventive annotation recorded against NSC’s property in the public real estate records.
+Added: Such encumbrances cancellation resolution was registered before the Public Registry of Property of Playas de Rosarito on June 25, 2019.
+Added: On June 26, 2019, the Public Registry of Property of Playas de Rosarito issued a certificate of no liens with respect to the real estate owned by NSC.
+Added: e) Amparo filed by EWG against the administrative cancellation of registrations before the Public Registry of Property.
+Added: In November 2019, NSC learned that EWG had filed an amparo claim before the Third District Court in Tijuana against such encumbrances cancellation resolution, and in December 2019, NSC responded to such claim, vigorously opposing it.
+Added: Thereafter, NSC submitted a motion to dismiss, based on the resolution of the appeal remedy mentioned previously in subparagraph b) revoking the preliminary relief, previously mentioned in item (ii).
+Added: The Court resolved in favor of such motion to dismiss, and thereafter certified that EWG did not file an appeal remedy against such resolution within the applicable term.
+Added: Thus, the mentioned dismissal is definitive.
+Added: Notwithstanding the resolution to move to arbitration mentioned previously, 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.
In any event, AdR is only a named third party called to trial in this claim, and no claims have been made by EWG against AdR.
−Removed: The Company cannot presently determine what impact the resolution
−Removed: of the claim may ultimately have on its ability to complete the Project.
+Added: The Company cannot presently determine what impact the resolution of this litigation may have on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
