6.4 Working Capital Estimate

The project uses itemized accounting, estimating that the working capital of $63 million will be
required upon reaching full production capacity.

6.5 Financing

The total investment for the project is $1.013 billion, with the funding sourced by the project
owners themselves.

6.6 Benefit Estimation

The project investment is divided into two parts: $450 million for power plant construction and
$500 million for natural gas exploration and development, totaling $950 million. The average
annual revenue of the project is estimated at $351.28 million, with a total investment
return rate of 9.44%

6.6.1 Natural Gas Field Exploitation and Exploration Estimation

The project plans for 30 production wells, with each well's output set at 10×10^4 cubic meters,
producing a daily natural gas output of 300×10^4 cubic meters. With an annual operation time of
330 days, the annual gas supply for power generation is 7.92×10^8 cubic meters. The cost of gas
is $0.13 per cubic meter, yielding an annual revenue of $102.96 million and an annual production
and operation cost of $20 million.

6.6.2 300MW Gas Power Plant Estimation

Operating 330 days a year, the power plant's annual electricity output is estimated at 2.376
billion kWh. With an electricity price of $0.08 per kWh, the annual revenue is $190.08 million.
The cost for purchasing gas is $102.96 million, with a power plant operating cost of $20 million.

To ensure the project's long-term and stable operation, it is estimated that 10×10^8 cubic
meters of natural gas will be produced from the gas field. The surplus of 2.08×10^8 cubic meters
of natural gas will be sold domestically at a price of $0.28 per cubic meter, generating an annual
revenue of $58.24 million with operating costs of $10 million. According to the tax policy of
Afghanistan, a tax on the surplus natural gas sales will be levied at 20% of the annual revenue,
which is expected to contribute $11.648 million in taxes per year.

Machine Translated by Google

To continuously ensure the supply of natural gas and delay the decline in production, new
wells must be drilled annually, and continuous investment in exploration to confirm new ones
reserves are required. The annual investment for exploration will not be less than $20 million.
While ensuring the supply of gas for power generation, this will also contribute to expanding
capacity for the industrial, commercial, and residential natural gas application promotion in
Afghanistan.

The current reserves of natural gas in the Sheberghan area are less than 50 billion cubic
meters, with most being high in sulfur content, which significantly increases the costs of
exploration, development, and collection. With the current low electricity prices, it is
challenging for the power plant's revenue to meet the increasing costs of natural gas
exploration and development. The overall project has a static investment period of 9.55 years,
meaning the project can recover its costs within 10 years. The government is hoping to provide
the following preferential policies for the project:
1. The state grants the right to sell natural gas nationwide;
2. Exemption from all taxes during the 10-year investment recovery period.

The school construction land consists of building land, sports land, green land, and land for scientific
and technological activities. The school's construction land should be rationally planned and
configured according to the actual conditions of the location, adhering to the principles of saving and
intensive land use and resource sharing.

1) Building Land

Building land should meet the needs of teaching buildings, office buildings, residential buildings, and
other construction land according to the corresponding school scale. The school building land is
calculated based on the building plot ratio (the total building area of the school divided by the school
building land area) of 0.9.

2) Sports Land

Sports land should meet the needs for the school's track and field, basketball (volleyball) courts, table
tennis courts, physical training equipment areas, as well as spaces required for exercises during breaks
and extracurricular activities.

There should be 1 to 2 sand pits in the track and field area. The ratio of basketball courts to volleyball
courts should be 2:1, which should not be built inside the track and field area. Schools with the

conditions may construct swimming pools, tennis courts, and other types of sports facilities.
3) Teaching rooms refer to general classrooms, special-purpose classrooms, and public teaching rooms,
etc.

Special-purpose classrooms include laboratories for physics, chemistry, biology, music rooms, dance
rooms, fine arts (calligraphy) rooms, history and geography rooms, general technology laboratories,
multimedia computer network classrooms, and auxiliary rooms, etc.
Public teaching rooms include comprehensive electronic teaching rooms, libraries (rooms), network
centers, psychological counseling rooms, sports activity rooms (gymnasiums), and auxiliary rooms,
etc.

4) Office rooms include offices, meeting rooms, printing rooms, archives, health care rooms,
warehouses, etc.

5) Residential rooms include canteens, dormitories, duty rooms for administrators, power
distribution rooms, garages, bathrooms, toilets, etc.

6.8 Future Benefits Plan for 10 Years Later

6.8.1 Natural gas sales revenue tax payment of $18.512 million/year

On the premise of ensuring the supply of natural gas for the 300MW natural gas
power station, with an annual addition of 8 new gas production wells, each well
producing 10×10^4m³, and daily natural gas production of 80×10^4m³, with 330 days of
production per year, the annual supply for power generation is 2.64×10^8m³. With the
cost of gas at $0.13/m³, the annual revenue is $34.32 million. According to Afghanistan's
national tax policy, 20% of the annual revenue, which amounts to $34.32 million, is
allocated for taxation, resulting in an estimated annual tax payment of $6.864 million.
Adding the tax revenue from the remaining natural gas sales, the total annual tax payment
is expected to be $18.512 million.

6.8.2 Tax revenue of $38 million/year from the electricity sales of the 300MW

natural gas power station

The power station operates for 330 days a year, with an annual power generation of
23.76 billion kWh. With an electricity price of $0.08/kWh, the annual income is $1.9008
billion. Ten years later, in accordance with Afghanistan's national tax policy, 20% of the
Annual income of $1.9008 billion will be allocated for taxation, resulting in an expected
annual tax payment of $38 million.

6.8.3 The construction of natural gas gathering stations and processing

plants to solve employment for approximately 30,000 people

As natural gas extraction continues within the 20,000 square kilometer range of the
Amu Darya natural gas fields, a large amount of natural gas will be produced. To ensure
that the natural gas meets public usage standards, a substantial number of gathering
stations and processing plants are required to treat the sulfur, carbon, and water content in it
the natural gas to meet the requirements for different industrial and domestic uses. The
The extraction of natural gas and the construction of these facilities will require a substantial

workforce, with an estimated resolution of employment for approximately 30,000

individuals.

6.8.4 Solving Afghanistan's Natural Gas Import Issue

With the ongoing exploitation of the Amu Darya natural gas fields and the construction
of numerous gathering and processing stations, Afghanistan's dependence on natural gas
imports will be significantly reduced. This will decrease the volume of natural gas
imports and capital outflow, increase the national foreign exchange reserves, and enhance
the nation's economic strength.

6.8.5 Realizing Afghanistan's Ownership and Utilization Rights Over Natural

Gas Resources

As the Amu Darya natural gas fields continue to be exploited, there will be a need to
construct a multitude of natural gas gathering stations and processing plants. Additionally,
to meet the industrial natural gas demands of Afghanistan, extensive natural gas pipelines
and compression stations will be built domestically, ensuring the distribution of natural
gas to all regions of the country.

Furthermore, to meet the needs of the Afghan population, urban transportation, and others
domestic uses for natural gas, it will be necessary to construct numerous refueling
stations and accompanying pipeline systems between cities. After 10 to 20 years of
development, Afghanistan will gradually achieve self-sufficiency in natural gas
extraction, gathering, and pipeline transportation to various cities across the country. This
will meet the national industrial and domestic natural gas demands, thereby realizing
Afghanistan's ownership and usage rights of natural gas energy resources.
