With some of the new developments addressed, the Company has every confidence that it will secure the necessary further funding as may be required, in appropriate formats, to complete remaining major capital expenditure, resulting in an enhanced operational profile and resultant improved financial performance over time.

OUTLOOK

With unfulfilled demand for power generation in India expected to continue to grow through the coming decade, coupled with the high quality of the Company's expanding asset base, a proven execution capability, and an increasingly efficient business structure, KSK is well positioned to address the Indian power generation opportunities. We anticipate further growth upon securing fuel supplies pursuant to the new statute. As outstanding issues are resolved, and with the successful phased completion of the balance of the units of the 3.6 GW KSK Mahanadi power project being added to the Company's existing portfolio, the Board believes KSK will be one of India's leading suppliers of power.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINITIES

The business of the Company is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which, if they occur may have a materially adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition, results or future operations. The risks & uncertainties set out in this document are not exhaustive and there may be risks of which the Board is not aware or believes to be immaterial, which may, in the future, adversely affect the Company's business. The risks and uncertainties faced by the Company and the industry as a whole have been previously provided in detail in the Annual Reports of the Company and the Interim Statements. The majority of the risks previously identified have not significantly changed. While the Company attempts to address the same, the key risks and uncertainties continued to be faced by the Company are as follows:

-- Delays in government decisions or implementation of earlier government decisions along with continual inconsistencies in government policies across departments and retrospective amendments to the existing policies or introduction of new policies;

-- Deviation from approved government policies and abuse of market dominance position by certain contractual counter parties;

-- Denial of fuel supplies pursuant to cancellations, shortage of fuel and dependence on market based or imported fuel which are subject to market vagaries and other uncertainties;

-- Economic slowdown and negative sectoral outlook with resultant impact on banking sector delays in agreed project disbursements and timely availability of credit;

-- Delays in enforcement of contractual rights or legal remedies with government counter parties undertaking fuel supplies, power off take, transmission corridor access amongst others;

-- PPA counter parties going contrary to pre agreed understanding and seeking benefits from the power generators that are often in conflict with shareholder obligations to further the business;

-- Unusual currency depreciation that adversely effects the cost of project imports, project implementation, and repayment obligations;

   --    Logistics bottlenecks and other infrastructure constraints of various agencies; 

-- Challenges in the development of support infrastructure for the power projects including physical hindrances and delay in the issue of permits and clearances associated with land acquisitions; and

-- Political and economic instability, global financial turmoil and the resultant fiscal and monetary policies as well as currency depreciation resulting in increasing cost structures.
