Valuation Report
[Issued Without Prejudice]
0100 Preamble
0101 The Machai Hydropower Plant [MHP] is a ‘diversion’ or ‘run-of-the-river’ type hydropower plant of 7.88m
net head, providing 2.60MW & 40cumec capacity, with an annual mean yield of 15.78GWh.
0102 MHP was originally proposed in Aug-2005, designed to realize, with relatively modest outlay, the
development potential of the existing infrastructure of the Upper Swat Canal System, the 81.00MW
Malakand-III hydropower project, & their off-take from the Amandara headworks across the Swat River
at Akbarabad.
0103 The project covers a section of the Machai Canal from RD 68+450 near village Alo, till RD 70+830,
covering three falls. Construction began in in 2012 &, after delays caused by ROW issues that led to
minor modifications to the diversion canal, the project was commissioned for commercial operations on
01-Nov-2016. Total cost at the commissioning stage was reported to have been PKR 1.50billion].

0203 The survey report is to be accompanied by a Photo file of the subject assets.
0204 The report is not intended to have comprehensive self-contained descriptives of subject assets, but short
asset captions using existing nomenclature received from MHP / PEDO who already have access to and
are familiar with the detailed technical specifications of the subject assets.
0205 No material testing is to be performed to assess value &/or condition of the assets inspected. Assessment
is to be based on physical inspection, measurements &/or data provided by MHP / PEDO, in addition to
market inquiries & the combined proprietary worldwide database resources of Joseph Lobo (Pvt) Ltd &
our international partners.
0300 Definitions
0301 New Replacement Value [NRV1] is the estimated cost of replacing the existing subject asset with an
unused substitute of identical or equivalent asset of like kind, quality, equal utility &
output/capacity/specifications, having zero wear-&-tear, using current standards of materials & design,
and with no deduction for depreciation.
0302 Present Market Value [PMV] also termed as Fair Market Value is the estimated value of a tangible asset,
in its current state, as-is-where-is, in an unrestricted market, founded on market information, extrapolation
&/or precedent, based on what an informed, willing, & unpressured buyer without any obligation would
likely arrive at and agree with a similarly knowledgeable, willing, unpressured & unobligated seller in the
market, with neither party under any compulsion to buy or sell. The assessed PMV apply to a degree &
form of deployment related to identical utilization &/or project requirement. Any deviations with respect to
differing utility will entail adjustments or an entirely revised appraisal.
0303 Operational / Useful Life is the estimated life during which an asset is projected to generate revenue or
provide other valuable or quantifiable service. Equivalent to the period over which an asset can be
depreciated, useful life refers to the duration for which the item will be useful to the entity, not how long
the asset will or could actually last before being reduced to scrap at the end of its useful life. Many factors
affect a property's useful life including the frequency of use, the age or running hours already incurred at
the time of acquisition as well as the repair policy & the prevailing environmental conditions during
operation or storage of the asset. Useful life of identical type of assets will differ from user to user
depending on the above factors as well as additional factors as foreseeable technological improvements,
economic changes & changes in laws.
0304 End-Life Residual Value / Scrap Value [ERV] is the estimated value of a physical asset &/or its
component/s after completion of its economic operational life and is deemed no longer usable in original
form. The individual components may at times be put to other use in original form or more often be
processed before reuse. Scrap value is also dependent on the supply & demand for the component
materials of the scrapped asset.

were researched & used for: [a] Market-based cost-approach derivation of PMV1: NRV1-PMV1 [where
new, unused replacement assets are available] with work-forward for PMV1; [b] Comparative-plant-based
cost-approach derivation of PMV2-NRV2-PMV1 [for independently commissioned &/or custom-designed
assets, &/or assets no available in their original specifications] with work-back / work-forward inter- &
extrapolations for PMV1; & [c] Historical-cost-based OAV-PMV3 extrapolated work-forward derivations,
followed by work-back / work-forward for using the FAR & historical data provided by MHP.
0407 The assessment incorporates a multiple approach to achieve the most broad-based derivation. The
methodologies employed include stand-alone itemized NRV derivations based on worldwide procurement
of materials & services, coupled with a parallel NRV derivation using the JL’s in-house databases,
statistical & trend-derived project costs for comprehensive & comparative appraisal.
0408 The project valuation & itemized costs from comparable projects were referred from the Cunningham
Lindsey Project Control Partnership, UK & Joseph Lobo Ltd, Pakistan worldwide databases.
0409 The heads & format used was compiled from the subject project PC1 document in order to facilitate direct
comparison.
0410 Level-1 / Class-5 & Level-2 / Class-4 computational financial models for small- & medium-sized
hydropower unit capital cost estimations were made in conjunction with inputs from JL-modified capital
cost derivations from IDAM, EWOA & Flow-3D software.
0411 The critical metrics used were:
0411.1 Pakistan PPI escalation 1st-order derivatives for: in-land transport [northern Pakistan],
cement, concrete infrastructure, pavement & building construction, steel fabrication,
engineering services, hvac, selected transformers & electrical distribution cabinets.
0411.2 China PPI escalation 1st-order derivatives for: engineering services, specialized transformers,
MV / HV electrical switchyard hardware, breakers & upstream switchgear, hydroelectric turbine
units, valves, gensets, solenoids, steel sub-assemblies, main control room panels, cranes &
hoists, hydraulic actuation & control systems, electric drives & telecommunication equipment.
0411.3 Discounting factors were used where direct USA / EUR comparatives were used to obtain the
China-origin equivalent.
0411.4 The NRV-for-insurance Sum-Insured [SI] includes the additional costs for Increased Cost-of-
Working [ICW] covering additional surveys, 3rd-party rehabilitation consultancy fees,
allowances for peripheral collateral damage [civil works as well as plant / machinery],
dismantling, disengagement, replacement / rehabilitation / reinstatement, testing & misc costs
till trial production, as well as debris removal & an additional contingency component.
0411.5 Prevailing & historical market values of assets of identical or similar specifications & age were
researched & used for NRV-PMV, PMV1-PMV2, OAV-PMV derivations which were then used
as a comparative basis, with work-back / work-forward using the following factors for assets of
older or later YoM (year-of-manufacture) &/or of an independently commissioned design
nature:
0411.6 Scaling & equivalence factors were applied to normalize production / output capacities,
dimensions, dry weight for asset values of slightly differing specs & enable proper comparative
analyses.
0411.7 Assets were re-grouped in accordance with specific machinery classes to enable more
accurate itemized NRV-PMV / PMV-NRV derivations.
0411.8 Straight-line depreciation was applied on an asset class basis adjusted & categorized to reflect
residual value, operational life, Mean-Time-Between-Failure (MTBF) trends, & cyclical utility
patterns [where applicable].
0411.9 1st order derivatives for the host-country &/or supplier-country Producer Price Index (PPI)
were applied on an asset-class sector-wise basis as applicable.
0411.10 Lapsed-period exchange-differential impact was applied for non-offshore items & other host-
country expenses. USD was used as the primary denominations wherever possible. Exchange
rates on the basis of the annual mean were utilized for each year till 2023. The rate on 04-Jan-
2024 [281.884782] was applied for the year 2024.
0411.11 The relevant obsolescence factors were applied selectively to equipment, components,
electro-mechanical machinery & ancillaries where the base technology &/or instrumentation
has undergone significant change in core &/or display technology, & including assets where
primary functions are dependent on installed microprocessors, IC-modules & logic controllers.
0411.12 Initial import, logistical & installation costs were factored into the values.
0411.13 Capitalized modifications, standard overhaul &/or major refit expenditures were excluded but
their impact on the operational life of the target assets were applied & adjustments made

0500 Location
0501 MHP is located at 34.420153 / 72.045434, at 418m ASL, & covers a section of the Machai Canal from
RD 68+450 near village Alo, till RD 70+830.
0502 The MHP main project components in order of sequence are:
0501.1 Origin at the Amandara Headworks, branching off into the Upper Swat River Canal, running
past the NW outskirts of Akbarabad.
0501.2 The MHP receives its feed from 3x canal courses:
[a] The Musamima-Mulashara-Dargai component of the Upper Swat River Canal running SW-
NE;
[b] The Jabban-Dargai component canal, running NNE-SSE;
[c] A convoluted 3rd-route, also running NNE-SSE, but via through several channels & tunnels,
exiting through the Malakand-III tailrace into the now substantially larger Upper Swat Canal
component. This canal then makes a NW-SE traverse, meandering past & around the Irfan
Kot - Naik Muhammad Khan Kalay - Madad Khan Banda townships, into the MHP.
[d] The MHP tailrace empties into the same canal lower downstream, before sweeping past
the neighboring Alo - Charchur - townships, & heading towards the Likpani - Chanoona culvert
& tunnel.
0501.3 The headwater is channeled through the Stage-1 trash racks, dumping the suspended silt into
the sand fill void below, passes through the single-leaf inlet wicket gates, into a flow-stabilizing
chamber. From here the stream enters the vertical-axis Kaplan turbine, & exits the tapered
draft tube, past the main tailrace gate valve, & empties into the tailrace channel.

0810 The estimated sum-insured is derived taking into account freight, import levies, engineering / supervision
expenses for installation / commissioning, start-up, trials & commissioning costs.
0811 The figures do not include costs for design, early-stage project consultancies & start-up costs, physical
contingencies, administration / management, forex losses, contractor’s claims, performance guarantees,
price adjustments, furniture, fixtures, interest, feasibility studies, project planning &/or financial charges.
0812 It must be understood & appreciated that contrary to an entire project being implemented & commissioned
as a single work-order & undertaking, the subject comparative plant basis estimation for each main individual
module of the project has been made treating construction / erection / installation / commissioning for the
various components of the project being treated as single, independent jobs, to be implemented, progressed,
& concluded as complete, stand-alone contracts, as would be the base scenario for probable losses &
insurance claims [PML level & below] in real terms, where only a few individual sections, modules &/or

components of the entire project are affected at any given time, & not the entire project. These insurance-
focused costs will always be substantially higher than the scales-of-economy achievable for a one-time
implementation of an identical project, & several factors greater than the original project costs.
