The Company has its registered seat in Cologne, Germany, (business address: c/o Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek, Magnusstr. 13, 50672 Cologne) and is registered with the commercial register of the local court (Amtsgericht) of Cologne, Germany, un-der the number HRB 92007. The Company is a German Stock Corporation (Ak-tiengesellschaft, AG) incorporated and existing in Germany and governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
B.3 Current op-erations and principal business activities and princi-pal markets in which the issuer com-petes.
De Raj is the parent company of the companies Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd, Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc, Condor Energy (L) Inc, De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd and Gaea Power GmbH (“De Raj Group”). De Raj Group’s business is focussed on the oil and gas business in the South East Asian region and on the power business in Germany. Oil and Gas Division The oil and gas division of the De Raj Group is a service provider providing ser-vices encompassing the full spectrum of the offshore upstream oil and gas supply chain. The division is capable of being involved in (1) offshore exploration which involves the search for rock formations associated
with oil or natural gas deposits, and includes geophysical prospecting and/or exploratory drilling,
(2) well development, which occurs after exploration has located an economical-ly recoverable field, and involves the construction of one or more wells from the beginning (so-called “spudding”) to either abandonment if no hydrocar-
- 8 -
bons are found, or to well completion if hydrocarbons are found in sufficient quantities,
(3) production, which is the process of extracting the hydrocarbons and separat-ing the mixture of liquid hydrocarbons, gas, water, and solids, removing the constituents that are non-saleable, and selling the liquid hydrocarbons and gas
and, finally, (4) site abandonment which involves plugging the well(s) and restoring the site
when a recently-drilled well lacks the potential to produce economic quanti-ties of oil or gas, or when a production well is no longer economically viable for production.
The oil and gas division of De Raj Group provides a high quality, comprehensive and cost effective solution for the monetization of oil and gas fields. The clients of the oil and gas division of De Raj Group AG are National Oil Companies (“NOC’s”), companies having stakes in oil fields as well as other technological enterprises. The division is strategically placed with a full range of assets ranging from jack-up rigs (a type of mobile platform that consists of a buoyant hull fitted with a number of movable legs, capable of raising its hull over the surface of the sea (“Jack-up Rigs”)), drilling equipment, processing equipment and marine equipment which are capable of handling offshore oil and gas extraction and production for so called green fields (i.e. oil and gas fields that have not been developed yet and thus have no existing infrastructure), brown fields (i.e. oil and gas fields that have already been developed and thus have to be built around an existing infrastructure) and marginal fields (i.e. oil and gas fields located in remote locations with little or no infrastructure and of a size or nature that often makes it impossible to predict with certainty the amount or composition of recoverable hydrocarbons in place). The business concept of the oil and gas division of De Raj Group is to enter into agreements on the deployment of its oil rigs in oil and gas fields. Oil rigs consist of the platform, i.e. the jack-up rigs, and the topside construction on the jack-up rigs, i.e. the topside equipment: The buoyant hull of the Jack-up rigs enables transportation of the unit and all at-tached machinery to a desired location. Once on location the hull is raised to the required elevation above the sea surface supported by the sea bed. The legs of such units may be designed to penetrate the sea bed, may be fitted with enlarged sections or footings, or may be attached to a bottom mat. De Raj Group currently holds five Jack-up Rigs. Furthermore, De Raj Group holds and leases as lessor the production facilities which are installed on the upper part of the oil rigs, e.g. the oil production plant, the accommodation block and the drilling rig (also referred to as “Topside Equip-ment”). Moreover, the lease agreements entered into by De Raj Group may also contain not only the lease of the equipment but also the obligation to operate and maintain the oil rig during the term of its deployment (so called “wet lease”). To fulfill the obligations for the operation and maintenance, De Raj Group may employ its own employees but also assigns an agency employed work force with this task. The oil and gas division of De Raj Group AG comprises of four companies each having its own function: 1. Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn. Bhd employs the vast majority of the labour
workforce and functions as management arm of the oil and gas projects and general operations and enters into contracts with the clients, namely National Oil Companies (“NOC’s”).
2. Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc. owns and leases the Topside Equipment. 3. Condor Energy (L) Inc. owns the Jack-up Rigs while they are not deployed in
oil or gas fields. 4. De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd holds the patents of the oil and gas division of the
De Raj Group The main market catchment area for the oil and gas division of the De Raj Group comprises of South East Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East. However, the division has also participated in market surveys, expression of interests and pre-qualifications for NOC’s and stakeholders from Europe and West Africa. German Power Division
- 9 -
Gaea Power GmbH, a subsidiary of the Company, is the owner of 13 combined heat and power plants („CHP plants“) spread throughout Viersen, Straelen and Geldern, Germany. These CHP plants generate electricity, which is fed into the public power grid, and heat, which is delivered to nearby greenhouses. The CHP plants can be categorized into three groups based on their capacity of 330kW, 363kW and 400kW. The majority of the units owned by Gaea Power GmbH has a capacity of 400kW. However, only six CHP plants are currently in operation. Fur-ther seven units are currently not in operation due to ongoing modification works. The Group expects the recommissioning of three of these plants in fall 2017. Gaea Power GmbH does not operate the CHP plants itself, but leases them to five companies in the legal form of a German Unternehmergesellschaft (mit beschränk-ter Haftung), namely Rocky Kraft Unternehmergesellschaft (mit beschränkter Haf-tung), Freya Kraft Unternehmergesellschaft (mit beschränkter Haftung), Kilat Kraft Unternehmergesellschaft (mit beschränkter Haftung), Vision Kraft Unternehmerge-sellschaft (mit beschränkter Haftung) and Sutra Kraft Unternehmergesellschaft (mit beschränkter Haftung) which operate the plants and pay a monthly rent to Gaea. All CHP plants owned by Gaea Power GmbH are fired with palm oil and benefit from the promotion of renewables energies in Germany according to the Renewa-bles Energies Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz – “EEG”). Currently, the German power division of De Raj Group is active in the territory northeast of Duesseldorf and close to the Dutch border, namely in Viersen, Geldern and Straelen.
B.4a Most signif-icant recent trends af-fecting the issuer and the industry in which it operates.
Since 31 December 2016, the effective date of the latest audited annual financial statement, the overall global economic outlook remains strong and the cyclical recovery continues. While there has been a better than expected growth rate in Malaysia, the growth in Indonesia has stalled in 2017. Oil prices have receded, reflecting strong inventory levels in the United States and a pickup in supply. However, Brent Crude Oil prices rose in recent weeks due to developments related to Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, as well as higher refinery demand in Europe and Asia. Since 31 December 2016, the following circumstances have occurred, which were of major relevance for the Company and De Raj Group: In February and June 2017, the companies of the oil and gas division of the De Raj Group entered into agreements for the deployment of an oil rig offshore Indonesia which constitute the main sources of revenue for De Raj Group at the moment. In April 2017, the loan facility granted for the financing of the business activities of the oil and gas division of De Raj Group was successfully restructured by way of a restructuring agreement with the bank granting the facility. In July 2017, the German power division of De Raj Group entered into several lease agreements on its combined heat and power plants. In October 2017, Alexander Arjun de Raj assigned a loan in the amount of EUR 3,810,000.00, which was granted to Gaea Power GmbH, to De Raj Group AG which was subsequently waived by De Raj Group AG. Finally, in October 2017 the shares in the other companies of the De Raj Group were contributed to the Company, partly by way of a capital increase against con-tribution in kind and partly by way of a contribution into the capital reserves of the Company, whereby the De Raj Group was formed. Furthermore, it is to be noted that some of the companies of De Raj Group acquired assets, i,e. Jack-up Rigs and patents, shortly before the contribution of their shares into the Company. One of the most significant developments for the De Raj Group since 31 December 2016, is the increase in the day-rates for the BOSS-1 oil rig, deployed in Indonesia and operated by De Raj Group from around USD 36,027 per day to USD 52,000 per day from 20 February 2017 on. This reflects the positive mood of the Oil & Gas industry in general and South East Asian prospects in particular. The Group had also undertaken significant cost saving measures, especially in the area of Operations and Maintenance of the assets, to cope with the negative price cycle, which are resulting in enhanced profitability now. De Raj Group is of the opinions that it has proven itself in the South East Asia re-gion to be a cost effective and an expedient contract partner. The next plan of ac-tion is to market these technologies to a wider global market. De Raj Group expects a serious upturn and to have at least four rigs in operations
- 10 -
by year 2019 whereby the time gap is caused by the current requirement for cus-tomisation and refurbishment of the oil rigs at qualified shipyards. De Raj Group aims to expand rapidly its power generation portfolio in Germany, based on a proven and cash flow positive business model by 2018. The German Power division will also opportunistically expand horizontally and ver-tically in Germany, i.e. into grid supportive and utility bankrolled large energy stor-age facilities and technologies. Besides expanding its existing business, De Raj Group generally also observes the markets to validate potential further business opportunities and worthwhile chances to extend its business to further business sectors in the future, namely investments in conventionally generated power in the Middle East markets and supportive infra-structure.
B.5 Description of the group and the is-suer’s posi-tion within the group.
De Raj is the parent company of the De Raj Group. De Raj holds shares in the following five companies, Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd, Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc, Condor Energy (L) Inc, De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd and Gaea Power GmbH. Currently, the Company acts as a holding and service company. The essential functions of the Company are the management of the De Raj Group and the pro-curement of financing and equity. In the future, it cannot be ruled out that the Com-pany will also extend its activities beyond its function as a holding and service company and may also assume operational tasks itself. However, there are no definitive plans to do so at the date of this prospectus.

There has been a significant change to the Company’s financial condition and operating re-sults subsequent to the period covered by the historical key financial information above due to the fact that the Company acquired the shares in its subsidiaries and the De Raj Group was formed. The description of the impact is the subject matter of the selected pro-forma consoli-dated financial information for De Raj Group below under B.8.
B.8 Selected Pro-Forma key Financial Information
In October 2017, De Raj has acquired shares in the companies Gryphon Energy (SEA), Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc, De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd, Condor Energy (L) Inc and Gaea Pow-er GmbH whereby the now existing De Raj Group was formed. Furthermore, in October 2017, i.e. shortly before the aforementioned acquisition of shares, the company De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd acquired patents and the company Condor Energy (L) Inc acquired five Jack-up Rigs (the aforementioned transactions in the following referred to as “Formation of De Raj Group”). On the basis of the Formation of De Raj Group and the respective acquisitions, De Raj has prepared pro-forma consolidated profit and loss statements for the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016 and for the period from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017 as well as a pro-forma balance sheet as of 30 June 2017 and supplemented these with pro-forma notes (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial
- 24 -
Information”). The purpose of the Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information is to present the material effects the Formation of De Raj Group would have had on hypothetical consolidated financial statements of De Raj if the acquisitions which took place in the context of the Formation of De Raj Group had been a part of the De Raj Group throughout the entire fiscal year ended 31 December 2016 and the six months period ended 30 June 2017. Thereby, the reference to De Raj Group in the period from 1 January 2016 until 30 June 2017 has to be understood as hypothetical as there had been no De Raj Group during that period due to the fact that De Raj Group only came into existence upon the Formation of De Raj Group. The pro-forma consolidated profit and loss statements for the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016 and for the period from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017 were prepared based on the assumption that the acquisitions took place as of 1 January 2016. The Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only. Because of its nature, the Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information describes only a hypothetical situation and since it contains assumptions and uncertainties, the presentation does not reflect the actual net assets, financial position and results of operations of the De Raj Group as of any historical date nor does it project the future development of the net assets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj Group. The Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information is only meaningful in conjunction with the historic information of De Raj, Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc and Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd contained in the section “Financial Information” in this prospectus. The Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information was prepared in accordance with the rules of the Institute of Public Auditors in Germany (Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW)) for preparing pro-forma financial information (IDW Accounting Practice Statement: Preparation of Pro-Forma Financial Information (IDWAcPS AAB 1.004) (IDW Rechnungslegungs-hinweis: Erstellung von Pro-Forma-Finanzinformationen (IDW RH HFA 1.004)) and in accordance with the IFRS as adopted by the European Union. All figures presented in this section are rounded to the nearest one decimal place. Because of this rounding, the figures shown in the tables do not in all cases add up exactly to the respective totals given.

B.9 Profit fore-cast and estimate.
Not applicable. The Company has not issued a profit forecast or estimate.

Not applicable. The auditor’s reports on the historical financial information included in this prospectus have been issued without qualification.
B.11 Insuffi-ciency of the issu-er’s work-
Not applicable. The Company believes that the De Raj Group has sufficient working capital to be able to settle its liabilities as they fall due at least for the next twelve months.

C.4 A descrip-tion of the rights at-tached to the securities.
Each share in the Company carries one vote at the Company’s shareholders’ meeting. There are no restrictions on voting rights. The Shares carry full dividend entitlement from January 1, 2017.
C.5 A descrip-tion of any restrictions on the free transferabil-ity of the se-curities.
Not applicable. The Company’s Shares are freely transferable in accordance with the legal requirements for bearer shares. There are no prohibitions or restrictions on disposals with respect to the transferability of the Company’s shares.
C.6 Application for admis-sion to trad-ing on a regulated market and identity of regulated markets where the securities are to be traded.
The Company expects to apply for admission of the Shares to trading on the regulated mar-ket segment (regulierter Markt) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter Wertpa-pierbörse), sub-segment General Standard. The listing approval is expected to be an-nounced on 21 November 2017. Trading of the Shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is expected to commence on 22 November 2017.
C.7 Dividend policy.
Due to the fact that the Company was a shelf company and its business purpose was re-stricted to the administration of its own assets until August 2017, there have been no net retained earnings available for distribution for the abbreviated financial year 2015 and the full financial year 2016. Correspondingly, there was no distribution of dividends for the ab-breviated financial year 2015 and the financial year 2016. The Company can make no pre-dictions as to the size of future profits available for distribution, or whether distributable prof-its will be achieved at all. Hence the Company cannot guarantee that dividends will be paid in the future. Moreover, the results of operations as set out in the financial statements may not be necessarily indicative of the results that should be expected in the future or amounts of future dividend payments

B.3 Art der derzeiti-gen Geschäfts-tätigkeit und Haupttätigkeiten des Emittenten sowie Haupt-märkte, auf de-nen der Emittent vertreten ist.
Die De Raj ist die Muttergesellschaft der Gesellschaften Gryphon Energy (SE-A) Sdn Bhd, Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc, Condor Energy (L) Inc, De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd und Gaea Power GmbH (“De Raj Gruppe”). Das Geschäft der De Raj Gruppe konzentriert sich auf die Sparte Öl und Gas in der Region Südostasien sowie die Sparte deutsche Energieerzeugung. Sparte Öl und Gas Die Sparte Öl und Gas der De Raj-Gruppe ist ein Dienstleistungsbereich, der das volle Spektrum der Erkundung und Förderung (Upstream) Öl-und-Gas-Lieferkette auf offenem Meer umfasst. Dieser Bereich kann in folgende Tätig-keiten involviert sein: 1. Erkundung (Exploration) auf offenem Meer; dies umfasst die Suche nach
Felsformationen mit Öl- und natürlichen Gasvorkommen sowie die geo-physikalische Suche nach Bodenschätzen bzw. Explorationsbohrungen,
2. Entwicklung von Bohrlöchern, die stattfindet, wenn ein ökonomisch för-
- 31 -
derbares Gebiet gefunden wurde; dies umfasst die Konstruktion von ei-nem oder mehreren Bohrlöchern vom Beginn an (das sog. „spudding“) oder auch die Stilllegung, wenn keine Kohlenwasserstoffe gefunden werden konnten, oder die Fertigstellung von Bohrlöchern, wenn Kohlen-wasserstoffe in ausreichender Menge gefunden werden konnten.
3. Produktion; dies umfasst den Prozess des Herauslösens der Kohlen-wasserstoffe und der Trennung des Gemischs von flüssigen Kohlenwas-serstoffen, Gas, Wasser und Feststoffen durch Herauslösen der Be-standteile, die nicht verkäuflich sind, und Verkauf des flüssigen Kohlen-wasserstoffes und Gases, und schließlich
4. Stilllegung des Gebiets; dies umfasst das Verschließen der Bohrlöcher und die Wiederherstellung des Gebiets, wenn ein vor kurzem gebohrtes Bohrloch nicht genügend Potential aufweist, um ökonomisch sinnvolle Mengen an Öl und Gas vorzubringen, oder wenn die Produktion nicht länger ökonomisch sinnvoll ist.
Die Sparte Öl und Gas der De Raj-Gruppe bietet eine hochqualitative, umfas-sende und kosteneffiziente Lösung für die monetäre Nutzung von Öl- und Gas-feldern. Die Kunden der Sparte Öl und Gas der De Raj-Gruppe sind staatliche Ölfirmen („National Oil Companies“ oder auch „NOC’s“), Firmen, die Beteili-gungen an Ölfeldern haben, sowie andere Technologieunternehmen. Die Sparte wurde strategisch ausgestattet mit dem gesamten Spektrum von Anlagen, angefangen mit Hubbohrinseln (eine Art mobile Plattform, die aus einem schwimmfähigen Rumpf besteht, der mit einer Anzahl beweglicher Bei-ne ausgestattet ist und in der Lage ist, seinen Rumpf über die Oberfläche des Meeres zu heben, „Jack-up Anlagen“), Bohrausrüstung, Verarbeitungsanla-gen und Schifffahrtsausrüstungen, die zur Gas- und Ölgewinnung und Produk-tion für sogenannten grünen Feldern (d.h. Öl- und Gasfeldern, die noch nicht bearbeitet wurden und bei denen daher keine Infrastruktur vorhanden ist), sogenannten braunen Feldern (d.h. Öl-und Gasfelder, die bereits entwickelt wurden und bei denen daher ein Aufbau um eine bestehende Infrastruktur erfolgen muss) und so genannte geringfügige Felder (d.h. Öl- und Gasfelder in entlegenen Gebieten mit keiner oder wenig vorhandenen Infrastrukturen, de-ren Größe oder Eigenschaft es oftmals schwer macht, die Menge oder Zu-sammensetzung der förderbaren Hydrocarbone vorherzusagen). Das Busi-nesskonzept der Sparte Öl und Gas der De Raj-Gruppe ist es, Verträge über den Einsatz ihrer Ölbohrplattformen in Öl- und Gasfeldern abzuschließen. Öl-bohrplattformen bestehen aus der Plattform, d.h. den Hubbohrinseln, und der oberen Konstruktion auf den Hubbohrinseln, d.h. die Aufbauten auf der Ober-seite. Der schwimmende Rumpf der Jack-up Anlage ermöglicht den Transport des Gerätes und aller angeschlossenen Maschinen an einen gewünschten Ort. Einmal am Standort wird der Rumpf auf die erforderliche Höhe über der Mee-resoberfläche angehoben, die vom Meeresboden unterstützt wird. Die Beine dieser Einheiten können so ausgelegt sein, dass sie in den Meeresboden ein-dringen, mit vergrößerten Abschnitten oder Fußböden versehen werden kön-nen oder an einer Bodenmatte befestigt werden können. Die De Raj Gruppe hält derzeit fünf Jack-up Anlagen. Darüber hinaus hält die De Raj-Gruppe die Anlagen, die auf dem Oberdeck der Ölbohrplattformen installiert werden, z.B. die Ölförderungsanlage, die Un-terkünfte für die Besatzung und den Bohrturm (die „Aufbauten“) und verleast diese Aufbauten als Leasinggeber. Ferner können die von der De Raj-Gruppe abzuschließenden Leasingverträge nicht nur das Leasing der Anlagen, sondern auch die Verpflichtung enthalten, die Ölbohrplattformen während des Zeitraums ihres Einsatzes zu betreiben und zu warten (so genannter „wet lease“). Um diese Verpflichtungen zu erfül-len, kann die De Raj-Gruppe ihre eigenen Mitarbeiter einsetzen, beauftragt mit den Tätigkeiten allerdings auch Arbeitskräfte über Drittunternehmen. Der Bereich Öl und Gas der De Raj Group AG umfasst vier Gesellschaften, die jeweils eine eigenständige Funktion ausüben: 1. Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd beschäftigt den Großteil der Arbeits-
- 32 -
kräfte und agiert als Managementgesellschaft der Öl- und Gasprojekte und des allgemeinen Dienstbetriebes, und schließt die Verträge mit den Kunden, im Besonderen mit den staatlichen Ölunternehmen („NOC’s“), ab.
2. Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc. ist Eigentümerin der Aufbauten und ver-
least diese. 3. Condor Energy (L) Inc. ist Eigentümerin der Jack-up Anlagen, wenn
diese nicht in Öl- oder Gasfeldern eingesetzt werden. 4. De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd hält die Patente des Bereichs Öl und Gas der
De Raj-Gruppe. Der wesentliche Hauptabsatzmarkt für den Bereich Öl und Gas der De-Raj-Gruppe umfasst Südostasien, Zentralasien und den Mittleren Osten. Die De Raj-Gruppe hat allerdings auch an Marktsondierungen, Vertragsanfragen und Vorprüfungen für die Geeignetheit von staatlichen Ölunternehmen und ande-ren interessierte Dritten aus Europa und Westafrika teilgenommen. Sparte deutsche Energieerzeugung Die Gaea Power GmbH, eine Tochtergesellschaft der De Raj Group AG, ist Eigentümerin von dreizehn Kraftwerken mit Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung („CHP-Kraftwerke“) in Viersen, Straelen und Geldern, Deutschland. Diese CHP-Kraftwerke generieren Elektrizität, die in das öffentliche Stromnetz eingespeist wird, und Wärme, die an die nahe gelegenen Gewächshäuser geliefert wird. Die CHP-Kraftwerke können in drei Gruppen in Abhängigkeit von der Leistung von 330 kW, 336 kW und 400 kW eingeteilt werden. Die Mehrheit der von der Gaea Power GmbH gehaltenen CHP-Kraftwerke hat eine Kapazität von je 400 kW. Derzeit sind allerdings nur sechs CHP-Kraftwerke in Betrieb. Weitere sieben Kraftwerke sind derzeit nicht in Betrieb, da diese noch umgebaut wer-den. Die Gruppe erwartet die Wiederinbetriebnahme von drei weiteren Kraft-werken im Herbst 2017. Gaea Power GmbH betreibt die CHP-Kraftwerke nicht selbst, sondern verleast diese an fünf Unternehmen in der Rechtsform von Unternehmergesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung, namentlich: • Rocky Kraft Unternehmensgesellschaft (mit beschränkter Haftung), • Freya Kraft Unternehmensgesellschaft (mit beschränkter Haftung), • Kilat Kraft Unternehmensgesellschaft (mit beschränkter Haftung), • Vision Kraft Unternehmensgesellschaft (mit beschränkter Haftung) und • Sutra Kraft Unternehmensgesellschaft (mit beschränkter Haftung), welche die Kraftwerke betreiben und eine monatliche Leasinggebühr an die Gaea Power GmbH zahlen. Alle CHP-Kraftwerke der Gaea Power GmbH werden mit Palmöl betrieben und profitieren von der Förderung erneuerbarer Energien in Deutschland gemäß dem Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz („EEG“). Derzeit ist der Bereich German Power der De Raj-Gruppe in dem Bereich nordöstlich von Düsseldorf und nahe der niederländischen Grenze, nämlich in Viersen, Geldern und Straelen, tätig.
B.4a Wichtigste
jüngste Trends, die sich auf den Emittenten und die Branchen, in denen er tätig ist, auswirken.
Seit dem 31. Dezember 2016, dem Datum des letzten geprüften Jahresab-schlusses, zeigt sich die Weltwirtschaft stark und in einem zyklischen Erho-lungsprozess. Während es im bisherigen Verlauf 2017 ein höher als erwartetes Wachstum in Malaysia gegeben hat, ist das Wachstum in Indonesien ins Sto-cken geraten. Die Ölpreise sind aufgrund großer Vorräte in den Vereinigten Staaten und einer Erhöhung des Angebots zurückgegangen. Der Preis für Rohöl der Marke Brent ist jedoch in den letzten Wochen aufgrund Entwicklungen im Zusam-
- 33 -
menhang mit den Hurrikanen Harvey und Irma, sowie aufgrund höheren Be-darfs der Raffinerien in Europa und Asien gestiegen. Seit dem 31. Dezember 2016 sind die folgenden Umstände eingetreten, die von wesentlicher Bedeutung für die Gesellschaft und die De Raj-Gruppe wa-ren: Im Februar und Juni 2017 haben die Gesellschaften der De Raj-Gruppe Ver-träge für den Betrieb einer Ölbohrplattform in Indonesien abgeschlossen, die die Haupteinnahmequelle für die De Raj-Gruppe zur Zeit darstellen. Im April 2017 ist die der der De Raj-Gruppe gewährte Kreditlinie zur Finanzie-rung der Geschäftstätigkeit im Öl- und Gasbereich erfolgreich auf Grundlage einer Restrukturierungsvereinbarung mit der kreditgebenden Bank restruktu-riert worden. In Juli 2017 hat die Sparte der deutschen Stromerzeugung mehrere Leasing-verträge über die die Vermietung von Blockheizkraftwerken abgeschlossen. Im Oktober 2017 hat Herr Alexander Arjun de Raj ein Darlehen in Höhe von EUR 3.810.000,00, welches der Gaea Power GmbH gewährt wurde, an die De Raj Gruppe AG abgetreten, die anschließend auf dieses Darlehen verzichtet hat. Schließlich sind im Oktober 2017 die Anteile an den anderen Gesellschaften der De Raj-Gruppe in die Gesellschaft eingebracht worden, teilweise durch eine Kapitalerhöhung gegen Sacheinlage und teilweise durch Einzahlung in die Kapitalrücklagen der Gesellschaft, wodurch die De Raj-Gruppe gebildet wurde. Ferner haben Gesellschaften der De Raj-Gruppe kurz vor der Einbrin-gung der Anteile in die Gesellschaft ihrerseits Vermögensgegenstände erwor-ben, namentlich Hubbohrinseln und Patente. Eine der bedeutendsten Entwicklungen für die De Raj-Gruppe seit dem 31. Dezember 2016 ist die Erhöhung der Tagesrate für die BOSS 1 Ölbohrplatt-form, welche in Indonesien im Einsatz ist und von der De Raj-Gruppe betrie-ben wird, von US-Dollar 36.027 pro Tag auf US-Dollar 52.000 pro Tag seit dem 20. Februar 2017. Dies spiegelt die positive Stimmung in der Öl- und Gasindustrie allgemein und die Aussichten in Südostasien im Besonderen wieder. Die De Raj-Gruppe hat auch bedeutende Kostensenkungsmaßnahmen vorge-nommen, insbesondere im Bereich des Betriebs und der Wartung der Anlagen, um auf die negative Preisentwicklung zu reagieren, was zwischenzeitlich in einer erhöhten Profitabilität resultiert. Die De Raj-Gruppe ist der Meinung dass sie sich als ein kosteneffizienter und erfahrener Vertragspartner in Südostasien erwiesen hat. Geplant ist die Tech-nologien in einem weitergehenden globalen Umfang zu vermarkten. Die der De Raj-Gruppe erwartet eine substantielle Steigerung und eine Inbe-triebnahme von wenigstens vier Hubbohrplattformen bis 2019, wobei die zeitli-che Verzögerung darauf zurückzuführen ist, dass diese derzeit in qualifizierten Schiffswerften angepasst und überholt werden. Die De Raj-Gruppe beabsichtigt, ihr Portfolio der Stromerzeugung in Deutsch-land auf der Basis eines nachhaltigen und liquiditätswirksamen Geschäftsmo-dells bis 2018 zu erweitern. Die Sparte deutsche Stromerzeugung wird bei passender Gelegenheit auch horizontal und vertikal in Deutschland expandieren, namentlich in netzange-bundene und durch Energieversorger finanzierte Stromspeicheranlagen und Technologien. Neben der Expansion des bestehenden Geschäftsbetriebs beo-bachtet die De Raj-Gruppe allgemein auch den Markt, um potentielle zukünfti-ge Geschäftsmöglichkeiten und lohnende Chancen zu identifizieren, um das Geschäft auf weitere Bereiche auszuweiten, namentlich Investitionen in her-kömmlich produzierten Strom im mittleren Osten sowie anbindende Infrastruk-tur.

Die Finanzlage und Betriebsergebnisse der Gesellschaft haben sich nach
dem von den wesentlichen historischen Finanzinformationen abgedeckten Zeitraum erheblich geändert haben, da die Gesellschaft die Anteile an ihren Tochtergesellschaften erworben hat und dadurch die De Raj-Gruppe entstanden ist. Die Auswirkungen sind Gegenstand der nachfolgenden ausgewählten wesentlichen Pro-forma-Finanzinformationen unter B.8.
B.8 Ausgewählte we-sentliche Pro-forma-Finanzinformatio-nen
Im Oktober 2017 hat die Gesellschaft die Anteile an den Gesellschaften Gryphon Energy (SEA), Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc, De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd, Condor Energy (L) Inc and Gaea Power GmbH erworben, wodurch die De Raj-Gruppe entstanden ist. Ferner haben im Oktober 2017 kurz vor der Übertragung der Anteile auf die Gesellschaft die Gesellschaft De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd Patente und die Gesellschaft Condor Energy (L) Inc fünf Hubbohrplattformen erworben (die vorgenannten Transaktionen im nach-folgenden auch die „Entstehung der De Raj Gruppe“ genannt).Auf Grund-lage der Entstehung der De Raj Gruppe und den jeweiligen Akquisitionen
- 48 -
hat die Gesellschaft Pro-forma konsolidierte Gewinn und Verlustrechnun-gen für den Zeitraum vom 1. Januar 2016 bis zum 31. Dezember 2016 und für den Zeitraum vom 1. Januar 2017 bis zum 30. Juni 2017 sowie eine Pro-forma Bilanz zum Stichtag 31. Juni 2017 nebst Erläuterungen zu den Pro-forma Finanzinformationen erstellt (nachfolgend zusammen die „Pro-forma konsolidierten Finanzinformationen“ genannt). Der Zweck der Pro-forma konsolidierten Finanzinformationen ist es, die wesentlichen Effekte der Entstehung der der De Raj Gruppe in hypothetischen konsolidierten Finanzinformationen unter der Annahme darzustellen, dass die Akquisitio-nen im Rahmen der Entstehung der De Raj Gruppe bereits Teil der De Raj Gruppe im gesamten Zeitraum des Wirtschaftsjahres endend zum 31. De-zember 2016 und dem Sechstmonatszeitraum endend zum 30. Juni 2017 gewesen wären. Dabei ist der Verweis auf die De Raj Gruppe in dem Zeit-raum vom 1. Januar 2016 bis zum 30. Juni 2017 dahingehend als hypothe-tisch zu verstehen, dass während des vorgenannten Zeitraums keine der De Raj Gruppe bestanden hat, da diese erst mit der Entstehung der De Raj Gruppe entstanden ist. Die pro forma konsolidierten Gewinn und Verlust-rechnungen für den Zeitraum vom 1. Januar 2016 bis zum 31. Dezember 2016 und den Zeitraum vom 1. Januar 2017 bis zum 30. Juni 2017 wurden auf Basis der Annahme erstellt, dass die Erwerbe bereits vor dem 1. Janu-ar 2016 stattgefunden haben. Die Pro-Forma-Konzernfinanzinformationen wurden ausschließlich zu illustrativen Zwecken erstellt. Da die Pro-Forma-Konzernfinanzinformationen aufgrund ihrer Wesensart lediglich eine hypo-thetische Situation beschreiben und auf Annahmen und Unsicherheiten basieren, spiegeln sie folglich weder die tatsächliche Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage der De Raj Gruppe zu einem Zeitpunkt in der Vergangen-heit wider, noch prognostizieren sie die zukünftige Entwicklung der Vermö-gens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage der De Raj Gruppe. Die Pro-forma konsoli-dierten Finanzinformationen sind nur in Verbindung mit den historischen Finanzinformationen der De Raj, Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc and Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd im Abschnitt “Financial Information” aussagekräftig. Die Pro-Forma-Konzernfinanzinformationen wurden in Übereinstimmung mit dem vom Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) herausgegebenen IDW Rechnungslegungshinweis: Erstellung von Pro-Forma-Finanzinformationen (IDW RH HFA 1.004) erstellt. Alle in diesem Abschnitt dargestellten Zahlen sind auf eine Stelle hinter dem Komma gerundet, wodurch Rundungsdiffe-renzen bei den entsprechenden Gesamtbeträgen entstehen können.

C.7 Dividendenpolitik.
Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass die Gesellschaft als Vorratsgesellschaft ge-gründet wurde und ihr Geschäftsbetrieb bis zur wirtschaftlichen Neugrün-dung im August 2017 auf das Verwalten eigener Vermögensgegenstände
- 52 -
beschränkt war, wurde weder im Rumpfgeschäftsjahr 2015 noch im Ge-schäftsjahr 2016 kein Bilanzgewinn erzielt. Daher gab es auch keine Aus-schüttung von Dividenden im Rumpfgeschäftsjahr 2015 und im Geschäfts-jahr 2016. Die Gesellschaft kann keine Prognose im Hinblick auf den Um-fang künftiger Gewinne, die für die Ausschüttung zur Verfügung stehen, treffen. Daher kann die Gesellschaft auch nicht garantieren, dass Dividen-den in der Zukunft gezahlt werden. Zudem lässt die Ertragslage, die in den Finanzinformationen enthalten ist, nicht zwingend auf die Ertragslage, die in der Zukunft erwartet wird oder auf den Umfang künftiger Dividendenzah-lungen schließen.

3. RISK FACTORS
When considering whether to purchase shares of De Raj Group AG (the “Company”, “De Raj”, or the “Issuer”) investors should take into account, along with carefully considering the other information contained within this Prospectus, the following risk factors. The occurrence of one or more of these
risks may have material adverse effects on the business, assets and financial and earning positions of
De Raj and its subsidiaries Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd, Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc, Condor
Energy (L) Inc, De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd and Gaea Power GmbH (De Raj Group AG and its subsidiar-
ies collectively “De Raj Group”). The market price of the Company’s shares could drop significantly as a result of each of these risks and investors could lose all or part of their invested capital. Risks asso-
ciated with the Company and its industry are described below. The risks described below do not rep-
resent an exhaustive list of risks to which De Raj is exposed. Additional risks and uncertainties that
are not currently known to the Company could also adversely affect the business operations of De Raj
and have a negative effect on the business, assets and financial and earning positions of the Compa-
ny. The order in which the risks are listed does not correspond to or indicate the likelihood of their
occurrence or the extent of their potential economic impact. Selection and content of the included risk
factors were based on assumptions that may subsequently prove incorrect. The risks described may
occur individually or cumulatively.
3.1 Market and Business Risks
3.1.1 De Raj Group is dependent on a limited number of major customers
Certain companies of the De Raj Group have historically derived a substantial amount of its revenue
from a limited number of major customers, such as certain subsidiaries of state owned oil companies
like Pertamina in Indonesia and Petronas in Malaysia. While De Raj Group expects to continue to be
awarded contracts from these major customers in the future, there may be changes in their opera-
tions, policies or business outlooks that could have a material adverse effect on De Raj Group’s pro-spects in view of the existing and future business relations.
A predominant share of the earnings of the companies of the De Raj Group is currently obtained from
a single contract entered into a with a subsidiary of Pertamina, an Indonesian state owned oil compa-
ny, regarding the deployment of an oil rig of De Raj Group at the “PHE-38 field”, offshore West Madu-ra Offshore, Indonesia. This contract is currently the only contract of De Raj Group in the oil and gas
business. The concentration of revenue sources exposes De Raj Group to a variety of risks, such as
the loss of substantial sources of revenue resulting from discontinuation of existing contracts by major
customers should De Raj Group fail to fulfil contractual obligations and/or the risk that major custom-
ers will not award contracts to De Raj Group in the future. Furthermore, the subsidiary of Pertamina
has different rights to withhold payments, such as a general withholding right in case of disputes of
invoices submitted for the services rendered. The potential withholding of payments poses a cash flow
risk for De Raj Group.
Moreover, given the volatitilty of the oil prices, there is a risk that the rates agreed under the contracts
may subsequently have to be decreased in view of a potential decrease in the oil and gas price even if
- 57 -
the rates are contractually fixed. De Raj Group may be forced to agree on a decrease of the agreed
rates even if contractually not obliged to do so due to economic reasons in order to maintain good
relationships with existing and future customers of De Raj Group.
Furthermore, in case of disputes with the subsidiary of Pertamina, there is a risk that De Raj Group
may not be able to enforce its claims against the subsidiary of Pertamina, even if De Raj Group ob-
tains an arbitral award, for practical reasons as an enforcement of an award against a subsidiary of a
state owned company may be extremely difficult as a practical matter.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.2 Risks arise in view of contracts, which were entered into for the implementa-
tion of the economically most important contract for De Raj Group regarding
the deployment of an oil rig A predominant share of the earnings of the companies of the De Raj Group is currently obtained from
a single contract entered into with a subsidiary of Pertamina, an Indonesian state owned oil company,
regarding the deployment of an oil rig offshore West Madura, Indonesia. This contract is currently the
only contract of De Raj Group with a customer in the oil and gas business. The contract for the de-
ployment of the oil rig was awarded by the subsidiary of Pertamina to a consortium consisting of three
companies. One of the three members of the Consortium is Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd, which is
a company of De Raj Group. The other two members are Indonesian companies which are not part of
De Raj Group. Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd has entered into two agreements with the other mem-
bers of the Consortium in which the rights and obligations of the members of the Consortium and the
allocation of the revenues under the contract with the subsidiary of Pertamina are regulated, namely a
Consortium Agreement (“CA”) and a Revenue Sharing Agreement (“RSA”).
There is a risk that in case of disputes between Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd and the other mem-
bers of the Consortium, Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd may not be able to enforce its rights. The CA
and the RSA provide for final resolution of disputes by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the
Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”). Although arbitration awards are generally en-forceable, in Indonesia, enforcement of foreign arbitration awards in Indonesia can be extremely diffi-
cult, costly, time consuming and, ultimately, uncertain owing to the need to obtain the assistance of
the relevant Indonesian District Court in enforcing a foreign arbitration award. Moreover, for practical
reasons, there is a risk that the procedure in Indonesia may be non-transparent and open to manipula-
tion by domestic parties. Thus, Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd will be at a significant disadvantage in
trying to enforce, in Indonesia, any SIAC arbitration award against the other members of the Consorti-
um in case of disputes.
Secondly, the members of the Consortium have waived a stipulation which gives a non-defaulting
party a claim against a defaulting party to seek either specific performance or damages as a conse-
quence of the breach of the defaulting party. Thus, there is a risk that in case of breach of the CA
- 58 -
and/or the RSA by another member of the Consortium, Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd may not be
able to choose the most advantageous remedy due to this waiver.
Thirdly, there is a risk that the CA and the RSA may be void and unenforceable in the first place. This
is due to the fact that although the members of the Consortium have agreed that the CA and the RSA
shall be governed by English law, there is a risk that Indonesian law may nevertheless apply to the CA
and the RSA to a certain extent. If this were the case, the CA and the RSA may be void and unen-
forceable due to the fact that the CA and the RSA have not been translated to the Indonesian lan-
guage prior to execution. This is in contravention to Indonesian law and may render the CA and the
RSA void and unenforceable. If this were the case, Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd would not be able
to exercise or enforce any of its claims against the other members of the Consortium.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.3 De Raj Group may not be able to procure inputs, including equipment assembly parts
and chemicals, from suppliers in a timely manner, on satisfactory terms or at all
De Raj Group’s operations are dependent on a sufficient supply of inputs, including equipment, as-sembly parts and chemicals, used in its provision of services. Some of these inputs, in particular cer-
tain technical equipment used in the offshore drilling rigs and Mobile Offshore Production Units (i.e. an
offshore unit capable of having gas compression equipment, crude oil export, power generation for
offshore platforms, enhanced oil recovery facilities etc., “MOPUs”). MOPUs, such as top drives, blow-
out preventers and related parts, are only available from limited suppliers. In addition, inventory man-
agement on De Raj Group’s drilling rigs is an important aspect of its drilling operations due to the high
cost of transporting spare parts and supplies by air, ship or other means on short notice to drilling rigs
operating offshore. De Raj Group cannot assure that there will not be any substantial fluctuations in
the supply and price of these inputs,that De Raj Group will be able to secure sufficient amounts of
these inputs from limited suppliers or that De Raj Group will be able to adequately manage its invento-
ries for certain inputs. In addition, if any of De Raj Group’s suppliers fail to supply these inputs in a
timely manner, on satisfactory terms or at all, and it is not able to obtain acceptable substitutes, its
operations may be disrupted and its relationships with customers may be harmed.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.4 Some of De Raj Group’s services contracts may be terminated prematurely or sus-
pended under various circumstances
Some of De Raj Group’s customers have the right to terminate their services contracts upon payment of early termination or other fees, but these payments may not fully compensate for the loss of these
contracts. Some of De Raj Group’s customers may also terminate or suspend these contracts without
payment of early termination or other fees or further compensation under various circumstances, typi-
cally including, but not limited to, delayed commencement of operations or mobilisation of its drilling
- 59 -
rig, sustained periods of non-performance or deficient performance by the drilling rig or equipment,
prolonged periods of downtime due to force majeure events and other operational issues. Many of
these circumstances are beyond De Raj Group’s control. De Raj Group cannot assure that its custom-
ers will not terminate some of these contracts prematurely or suspend some of these contracts, or that
De Raj Group will be able to secure new contracts in a timely manner, on satisfactory terms or at all,
any of which may result in periods where its assets are underutilised and unable to generate revenue.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.5 De Raj Group’s insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all losses or liabili-ties that may arise in connection with the operations of De Raj Group
De Raj Group maintains insurance at levels which are customary in the businesses in which De Raj
Group operates to protect against various losses and liabilities. De Raj Group maintains insurance to
cover, among others, damage to its equipment, infrastructure and facilities, business interruption risks
and workers compensation. There can be no assurance that De Raj Group’s insurance will be ade-quate to cover all losses or liabilities that might occur in the operations in the future. The operation of
De Raj Group’s facilities involves inherent risks and occupational hazards, and if it were to incur a
significant loss or liability for which it were not fully insured, it could have a material adverse effect on
the business, reputation, results of operations and cash flows.
De Raj Group’s insurance coverage is also subject to periodic renewal. If the availability of De Raj
Group’s insurance coverage is reduced significantly for any reason, it may become exposed to certain risks for which it is not and/or could not be insured. Further, if premium levels for the insurance cover-
age required for De Raj Group’s operations increase significantly, De Raj Group could incur substan-
tially higher costs for such coverage or it may decide to reduce the coverage amount, either of which
could have significant negative effects on the business, net assets, financial position and results of
operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.6 As De Raj Group continues to expand internationally, it is increasingly susceptible to
legal, regulatory, political, economic and competitive conditions outside of Malaysia
and Germany, as well as operational risks different from those that De Raj Group fac-
es in Malaysia and Germany
De Raj Group operates internationally and expects to continue expanding its business activities out-
side of Malaysia and Germany. De Raj Group is required to comply with foreign laws and regulations
in the countries in which it operates including, but not limited to, trade laws, investment sanction laws,
environmental laws, tax laws, industry laws and capital control regulations. De Raj Group conducts
country risk assessments and in-country risk management to ensure that it understands the legal and
regulatory operating environment and the political, economic and competitive conditions of a particular
country, both when commencing work in that country and on an ongoing basis. De Raj Group cannot
ensure, however, that local legal, regulatory, political, economic or competitive developments in the
- 60 -
countries in which it operates will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition
or results of operations.
De Raj Group has expanded its business through investments and projects outside of Malaysia and
Germany, and it may continue to make similar investments or undertake similar projects in the future,
including seeking opportunities in promising oil and gas markets, such as Iran. These transactions
subject De Raj Group to different risks than those it faces in growing its operations in Malaysia, includ-
ing foreign legal and regulatory risks associated with cross-border transactions and operational risks
related to managing transactions outside of Malaysia and Germany, such as those arising from deal-
ing with entrenched domestic competitors in overseas markets and its relative lack of familiarity with
the rules and regulations in other jurisdictions. These risks may complicate De Raj Group’s efforts to complete these transactions and impede its efforts to integrate the overseas businesses into its global
operations. Addressing these risks may require De Raj Group to devote substantial management re-
sources, which could distract its management from overseeing its ongoing operations. Any failure to
address these issues could delay or prevent De Raj Group from completing any future overseas ex-
pansions or could make such transactions substantially more expensive to complete than De Raj
Group had anticipated.
De Raj Group’s operating licences are subject to periodic renewal, and it has been able to renew its
licences in the past. However, there can be no assurance that these licences will be maintained or
renewed upon expiry in the future. In addition, there can be no assurance that De Raj Group will be
able to obtain new licences to grow its business.
Failure to obtain, maintain or renew its licences would prevent it from being able to provide its services
to the relevant oil and gas sector.
Due to the fact that De Raj is a holding company and conducts substantially all of its operations
through its subsidiaries and is thus dependent upon dividends and other distributions received from its
subsidiaries as its principal source of income, any of the aforementioned factors having a significant
negative effect on the business, net assets, financial position and results of operations of a subsidiary
of De Raj will in turn also have a negative effect on the business, net assets, financial position and
results of operations of De Raj.
Thus, each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net
assets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.7 De Raj Group may not be able to grow successfully through future acquisitions or to
effectively integrate the acquired businesses
De Raj Group’s business strategy has included, and will continue to include, growth through the ac-quisition of other businesses and assets. De Raj Group may not be able to continue to identify attrac-
tive acquisition opportunities or successfully acquire identified targets on favourable terms. Currently,
competition for acquisition opportunities is limited but it may escalate, increasing De Raj Group’s ac-quisition cost or causing gusto refrain from making acquisitions. De Raj Group may be required to
- 61 -
incur substantial indebtedness to finance future acquisitions, with additional debt service requirements
imposing a burden on its operations and financial condition. In addition, De Raj Group may not be
successful in integrating the current or future acquisitions into the existing operations, which may re-
sult in unforeseen operational difficulties or weaker financial performance and may require a dispro-
portionate amount of management attention.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.8 De Raj Group’s internal organizational structures, particularly its risk management, might prove insufficient and might fail to identify or avoid undesirable developments
and risks and impending or already perpetrated violations of the law in a timely man-
ner
The De Raj Group has a risk management system that serves to sustainably safeguard the De Raj
Group’s existence and growth and to increase its value and competitiveness by ensuring the appropri-ate management and transparent communication of individual risks. It is intended to promptly identify
disproportionate risks of fact and law, control them, and avoid them to the extent possible. However,
the De Raj Group has grown strongly in recent years, placing strain on its internal organizational struc-
tures. Consequently, the De Raj Group is challenged to safeguard a further development of appropri-
ate organizational, risk monitoring, risk management system that enables the De Raj Group to identify
and avoid undesirable development and risks and potential violations of law at an early stage. If the
measures taken to improve the risk management system are inadequate, if the intended improve-
ments fail, or if the initiated measures are implemented too late or deficiently, the De Raj Group could
recognize risks and undesirable developments and impending or already perpetrated violations of the
law too late or not at all. This could result in significantly adverse business decisions.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.9 Repair and maintenance of De Raj Group’s key assets, equipment and facilities may require substantial expenditure, and breakdown, non-performance or loss of the key
assets, equipment and facilities on which De Raj Group is dependent may cause it to
incur losses
De Raj Group’s operations are dependent on the operating efficiency and reliability of its key assets, equipment and facilities in terms of operational worthiness and compliance with safety standards, and
it is required to maintain its key assets (such as its offshore drilling rigs and MOPUs), equipment and
facilities through scheduled and unscheduled repair and maintenance. De Raj Group’s repair and maintenance programme is an important part of its business operations and involves substantial ex-
penditure and results in loss of opportunity from down-time of its equipment and facilities. Repair and
maintenance performed after any break-down of its key assets, equipment and facilities can be costly
and time-consuming and, in certain cases, can be more costly and time-consuming than De Raj Group
anticipated, any or both of which could result in significant tangible and intangible losses.
- 62 -
Unexpected breakdowns, non-performance or loss of key assets, equipment and facilities are by their
nature unpredictable. In the event of downtime or loss of De Raj Group’s key assets equipment and facilities, De Raj Group may incur additional costs and losses arising from the disruption of its work-
flow and scheduled activities. Rectification of breakdown or non-performance of this type, depending
on its severity, may also require replacement or repair of key components, the procurement of which
may entail long lead times. Rectification on the affected key asset, equipment and facilities may re-
quire De Raj Group to incur substantial expenditures, which may result in the affected key asset,
equipment and facilities being out of service and unable to generate revenue for extended periods of
time. As De Raj Group is also dependent on small number of offshore rigs and MOPUs to provide its
services, De Raj Group may incur losses as a result of service disruption, damage to any of its drilling
rigs or MOPUs or loss of any of its drilling rigs or MOPUs.
The occurrence of any of the above developments may potentially disrupt the operation of De Raj
Group’s affected key asset, equipment or facilities and may result in being unable to meet the contrac-tual obligations with its customers or may otherwise have a material adverse effect on its business,
results of operations and cash flows. In addition, if De Raj Group were to dispose of or lose any of its
key assets, equipment or facilities, in particular its offshore drilling rigs and MOPUs, De Raj Group
may not be able to secure replacement for such key asset, equipment or facilities in a short timeframe
on satisfactory terms or at all. The loss of such key asset, equipment or facilities could have significant
negative effects on the business, net assets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or
the De Raj Group.
3.1.10 De Raj Group may not be able to effectively manage its present or future assets and
joint ventures
De Raj Group has previously expanded its business through acquisitions, investments and joint ven-
tures. Acquisitions, investments or joint ventures may require De Raj Group to make significant cash
commitments and incur substantial debt. Further, problems may arise preventing the effective integra-
tion of expanded operations and the ability to maintain key pre-acquisition relationships.
De Raj Group may not be able to effectively manage or execute its strategies with respect to its pre-
sent or future assets and joint ventures. Its control over these assets and joint ventures is generally
subject to the terms of applicable agreements and arrangements.
In addition, De Raj Group’s partners in these assets and joint ventures may:
(i) have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with the ones of De Raj;
(ii) take actions contrary to De Raj Group’s instructions or requests or contrary to its policies or objectives; or
(iii) be unable or unwilling to fulfil their obligations under the applicable agreement or arrange-
ment or to provide anticipated levels of support.
- 63 -
A disagreement, depending on its severity, with any of De Raj Group’s partners could affect its ability to develop or operate the respective asset or joint venture, which could have significant negative ef-
fects on the business, net assets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj
Group.
3.1.11 De Raj Group is exposed to the credit risk of its customers and counterparties with
whom it does business
Adverse economic conditions affecting, or financial difficulties of, De Raj Group’s customers and coun-terparties could impair the ability of its customers and counterparties to pay for De Raj Group’s ser-vices or fulfil their contractual obligations or cause them to delay those payments or obligations. De
Raj Group depends on its customers and counterparties to remit payments on a timely basis. Any
delay or default in payment could have significant negative effects on the business, net assets, finan-
cial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.12 Global capital and credit market issues could negatively affect De Raj Group’s liquidi-ty, increase its costs of borrowing and disrupt the operations of its suppliers and cus-
tomers
Global capital and credit markets have experienced extreme volatility, disruption and decreased liquid-
ity in recent years, making it more difficult for companies to access capital and credit markets. While
there have been periods of stability in these markets, the environment has become more volatile and
unpredictable. Recently, there has been particular focus on the potential for sovereign debt defaults
and banking failures in Europe. Volatility in global financial markets has added to the uncertainty of the
global economic outlook and a number of countries are experiencing slow economic activity. In addi-
tion, De Raj Group remains subject to the possibility of reduced access to, and increased costs of,
funding, a slowing down in the activity of its business partners or other adverse impacts on entities
with whom it has business dealings.
De Raj Group’s business is capital intensive, requiring drilling rigs, MOPUs and specialised equipment to provide its services, and may involve acquiring and/or upgrading its equipment and facilities, includ-
ing its offshore drilling rigs and MOPUs. De Raj Group depends on stable, liquid and well-functioning
capital and credit markets to fund its future projects and development, and failure to obtain sufficient
financing on a timely and satisfactory basis could cause it to forego acquisitions or opportunities to
tender for certain projects. If market conditions deteriorate due to economic, financial, political or other
reasons or if currently low interest rates were to increase, De Raj Group’s ability to obtain bank f inanc-
ing and access the capital markets in the future may be adversely affected. De Raj Group cannot en-
sure that any required additional financing, either on a short-term or long-term basis, will be made
available on terms satisfactory. If De Raj Group is unable to obtain adequate funding when needed or
obtain funding on favourable terms, it may find it difficult to meet its capital needs, take advantage of
business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
- 64 -
3.1.13 De Raj Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from changes in the ex-
change rates between the functional currencies of companies in its Group and other
currencies
De Raj Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk. Many of the companies in De Raj Group use USD
as their functional currency, but the pro-forma consolidated financial information included in this Pro-
spectus is in EUR, and the future reporting of the financial information by De Raj on a consolidated
basis will also be in EUR. Furthermore, De Raj Group incurs costs in other currencies, such as the
RM. A change in the exchange rate of the USD against the EUR and/or the other currencies relevant
for the De Raj Group, such as the RM, may have a material adverse effect on its financial perfor-
mance and financial position because De Raj Group may incur foreign exchange losses and foreign
currency translation losses. In addition, changes in currency exchange rates may result in significantly
higher domestic interest rates, liquidity shortages and capital or exchange controls, which in turn could
lead to a reduction of economic activity, economic recession, loan defaults, lower deposits and an
increased cost of funds. Changes in the exchange rate between the USD and other currencies, in
particular the EUR, could have an adverse impact on its results of operations and financial condition,
including as a result of translation differences when converting other currency amounts to EUR for
financial statement purposes.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.14 De Raj Group’s IT-systems could malfunction or become impaired
The De Raj Group’s information technology systems and those of its outsourcing partners are essen-tial for its business operations and success. Any interruptions in, failures of, manipulation of, or dam-
age to, these information technology systems could lead to delays or interruptions in the De Raj
Group’s business process. Any malfunction or impairment of the De Raj Group’s computer system or those of its outsourcing partners could interrupt the Group’s operations, lead to increased costs, and may result in lost revenues or income. The De Raj Group cannot guarantee that anticipated and/or
recognised malfunctions can be avoided by appropriate preventive security or control measures in
every case.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.15 The potential future use of derivative instruments, such as currency forward con-
tracts, may not fully hedge the risks of price fluctuations
De Raj Group may use derivative instruments, such as currency forward contracts or other similar
transactions, in the ordinary course of its business to hedge the risks of adverse fluctuations in foreign
exchange in the future. So far, De Raj Group has not made use of currency forward contracts, as most
of its payments are naturally hedged by revenues in the same currencies. Thus, as at the date of this
prospectus, the companies of the De Raj Group had no outstanding forward contracts or outstanding
- 65 -
derivative instruments. However, because foreign exchange markets are volatile, De Raj Group may
in the future decide to enter into forward contracts and/or derivative instruments to cover currency
exchange losses. Nevertheless, due to the volatility of foreign exchange markets, De Raj Group may
not be able to fully hedge the future gains or losses with these instruments against the corresponding
change in foreign exchange rates. Any severe or wide fluctuation in foreign exchange rates could have
an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations if it is unable to manage
such fluctuations effectively through these derivative instruments.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.16 Forward-looking statements in this Prospectus may not be accurate
This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of histori-
cal facts included in this Prospectus, including, without limitation, those regarding De Raj Group’s fi-nancial position, business strategies, prospects, plans and objectives for future operations are for-
ward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are made based on numerous assump-
tions that De Raj Group aim to be reasonable as at the date of this Prospectus. Forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminologies, such as the words "may",
"will", "would", "could", "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "aim", "plan", "forecast" or
similar expressions, and include all statements that are not historical facts. Such forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our ac-
tual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding the present and
future business strategies and the environment of De Raj Group in which it will operate in the future.
Such factors include, among others, general economic and business conditions, competition, the im-
pact of new laws and regulations affecting our industry and initiatives of the Malaysian government.
In light of these uncertainties, the inclusion of such forward-looking statements in this Prospectus
should not be regarded as are presentation or warranty by De Raj Group or its advisors that such
plans and objectives will be achieved.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.17 Risks arise for the De Raj Group's business from the transformation of the energy
market, particularly in Europe
The global energy market is subject to fundamental change. Both national and international initiatives
drive the transformation of the energy market.
- 66 -
As part of its strategy for an energy union within the EU, the EU Commission has submitted proposals
for the transformation of the European electricity market, for the updating of energy labeling, and for a
review of the emissions trading system. The initiative for a transformation of the European electricity
market is intended to improve the functioning of the domestic electricity market, among other things
through the abolition of regulated prices, the promotion of enabling technologies, such as intelligent
power grids, modern consumption measurement systems and storage systems, as well as the efficient
use of network capacities. The results of the sector inquiry by the EU Commission on capacity mech-
anisms in selected member states as well as the proposals on the future energy market and on the
risk preparedness in the area of security of electricity supply ("Summer Package") from 2015 will
contribute to the changed European legal framework.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.18 Risks arise for the De Raj Group's business from an increase in renewable power
generation and the resulting displacement of conventional power plants among the
competition
Conventional generation of power faces the risk of losing competitiveness against renewable energy
and thus market share and, over the long term, even faces the risk of disappearing completely from
the market. Furthermore, there is a risk that customer demand for renewable energy increases to the
detriment of conventional energy. The shift from conventional fuels to renewable generation is hap-
pening in many countries around the world. The European member states have agreed in their 2030
energy strategy to reach at least a 27% share of renewables by this date.
The variable generation costs for generation from renewable energy, such as wind and solar energy,
are very low as they do not require any fuel to produce electricity. As a result the merit order typically
starts with renewables followed by power plants with high investments, but comparably low variable
generation costs, such as nuclear-, hydro- or lignite-fired power plants. Coal, gas or oil-fired power
plants constitute normally the middle / end of the merit order. The available power plant capacities,
fuel prices and technical parameters of the operators in individual countries differ widely; as a result
each country has its own characteristic merit order.
In Germany, the Renewable Energies Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz, "EEG") supports and pro-
motes renewable energy generation. The EEG entered into force in 2000 and has been regularly
amended (EEG 2004, EEG 2009, EEG 2012, EEG 2014 and EEG 2017). The EEG enabled the
growth of Germany's renewable energy generation through feed-in tariffs and market premiums and
priority access to the electricity grid for energy from renewable sources. The latest amendments to the
EEG, effective as of 1 January 2017, introduce an auction system determining the promotion amount
(Förderhöhe) for the majority of new wind, photo-voltaic and biomass facilities.
The continuous growth of renewables results in a displacement of conventional power plants in the
merit order. In times of high feed-ins of renewable energy, and a given demand, conventional power
plants are no longer necessary to cover the demand. Additionally the marginal power plant determin-
- 67 -
ing the energy price has lower marginal cost which results in a lower energy price. Given the renewa-
bles target of the EU, it can be expected that conventional energy will be deployed to a lesser extent.
The shift of the energy mix towards a preference for power from renewable generation is leading to a
reduction of power generation from fossil primary energy sources and to a decline in wholesale power
prices.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.19 Risks arise for the De Raj Group's business from the availability of fossil fuels such
as gas and oil as well as biomass
As a power producer and commodity trader the De Raj Group relies on the continuous availability of
fossil fuels, in particular gas and oil in sufficient quantity and at reasonable prices. Should the global
supply or the required transport infrastructure experience any shortage, e.g., as a consequence of
political instabilities in the producer countries or the geostrategic instrumentalization of natural re-
sources, it would be increasingly difficult to satisfy these needs in the future.
Should the De Raj Group prove unable to compensate for any supply bottlenecks or disruptions on
reasonable terms, and to ensure the continued availability of the quantities of primary fuels required
for power plants and the supply to customers, this could result in the De Raj Group's power generation
or its natural gas and other commodities supplies having to be stopped, in whole or in part. For exam-
ple, in the past it already occurred (to other plant operators) that palm oil prices increased so much
that the operation of palm oil fired CHP plants was not profitable any longer despite the promotion
according to the German EEG.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.20 Risks arise for the De Raj Group's business from unusual seasonal fluctuations in
demand for oil and gas as well as power generation
The demand for oil and gas and power generation is subject to seasonal effects.
The De Raj Group is exposed to meteorological and hydrological conditions, both with regard to oil
and gas consumption as well as the power generation. Changes to the normal patterns of tempera-
ture, wind precipitation and duration of sunshine could have material adverse effects on the revenues
and operating results of the De Raj Group. A higher incidence of mild winters e.g., as a result of the
ongoing climate change, as well as of very humid or very dry weather periods could have a material
adverse effect on the De Raj Group's oil and gas business and / or the power generation business.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
- 68 -
3.1.21 Risks arise for the De Raj Group's business from human errors, technical failures in
operating procedures or interruptions of business operations
Energy generation requires the use of technologically sophisticated production, generation, warehous-
ing, storage, distribution and loading equipment. There is a general risk that human errors, technical
failures, other damage or loss events and retrofitting requirements could completely or partially impact
the functioning of the equipment or even necessitate a complete or partial suspension of operations
under certain circumstances.
A severe malfunction could result in material adverse effects on the De Raj Group's business - even if
the malfunction is not due to the fault of the De Raj Group as the plant operator but is rather deemed
to be force majeure or an accident. A corresponding restriction could also be caused by such factors
as natural disasters, sabotage, piracy, terrorist attacks, political unrest, strikes, cyber-crime (for in-
stance in connection with the power plant control systems) and other damage or loss events, such as
the non-availability of buildings, damages to buildings, fires, explosions and the shipwrecking of cargo
freighters. In addition to limiting operations, technical disruptions or damage and loss events can ne-
cessitate significant repairs and result in personal injury, property damage and environmental contam-
ination, which, particularly in the event the De Raj Group is held liable, can result in considerable costs
and reputational damage as well as the disruption of ancillary activities (such as transport, communi-
cation, waste disposal, etc.). The De Raj Group could also be held liable for third- party losses and
damage. In addition, there is the risk of contractual penalties and a loss of revenues in the context of
capacity markets, where the actual output made available is remunerated, if the power plants to be
provided by the De Raj Group are not available.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.22 Risks arise for the De Raj Group's business from qualified personnel not being avail-
able and any inability to recruit qualified personnel or a high degree of staff fluctua-
tion
The success of the De Raj Group depends significantly on qualified managers and employees, includ-
ing the members of the Issuer's board of management and key personnel. The De Raj Group, whose
business activities largely depend on production, trade and sale as well as technologies and engineer-
ing performance, competes intensely with other energy supply companies for qualified personnel.
Should qualified staff members leave the Issuer, or if the De Raj Group proves unable to recruit, retain
and motivate specialized and qualified staff members for the operation, the transition, and the expan-
sion of its business as well as the dismantlement of plants, this could restrict the De Raj Group's ability
to successfully operate its business and research activities, pursue strategic and financial objectives,
and to develop competitive technologies and processes. Moreover, the De Raj Group could lose expe-
rienced executives who are crucial to its business.
- 69 -
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.23 Risks arise for the De Raj Group's business from increased competition
In the business areas in which the De Raj Group is active, the De Raj Group is subject to intense
competition, which in recent years has sometimes resulted in significant decreases in sales. This
competition has intensified in the past and could further intensify in the future owing to the entry of
new market participants or a more competitive approach by existing competitors, thus increasing the
risk of declining sales or lower profit margins for the De Raj Group.
In particular, the current market environment in the area of gas trade and sales is characterized by
intense price competition which impacts the sales volume and/or margins that result from the spread
between sale and purchase prices. Considerable sales risks with regard to specific supply quantities
under long-term contracts (involving purchase obligations) that are not gas-indexed arise from the
competition in the gas market and rising trading volumes at virtual trading points as well as on gas
exchanges.
If the De Raj Group proved unable to maintain its existing customer base in its core business areas of
power and gas, or to compensate for the loss of customers through gaining new customers or by in-
creasing revenues from its business with the remaining customers, and to assert reasonable prices in
relation to such customers, this could result in an adverse effect on sales volume and/or the realizable
prices and margins and the relevant market position of the De Raj Group, as well as declining reve-
nues.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.24 There are reputational risks related to the De Raj Group's business
As for all major energy utilities, the De Raj Group's reputation is influenced by discussions and events
related to energy policy, the energy transition, contractual partners and energy prices. As an energy
utility with a focus on conventional power generation the De Raj Group may be particularly exposed to
criticism. Moreover, in recent years many customers have come to prefer renewable generation, which
is also associated with corresponding criticism of conventional energy generation.
There is a risk that damage to reputation resulting from unforeseeable and non-controllable external
events could have material adverse effects on the financial condition and results of operations of the
De Raj Group beyond the direct impact of such events.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
- 70 -
3.1.25 De Raj is a holding company and, as a result, is dependent on dividends from its sub-
sidiaries
De Raj is a holding company and conducts substantially all of its operations through its subsidiaries.
Accordingly, dividends and other distributions received from its subsidiaries are its principal source of
income. Consequently, the amount of these dividends and distributions are an important factor in De
Raj’s ability to pay dividends. The ability of De Raj’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distri-butions to the Company is subject to various factors, including applicable laws or agreements restrict-
ing their ability to pay dividends or make other distributions, the availability of their distributable re-
serves or profits, their solvency and their having sufficient funds that are not needed to fund their op-
erations, debt servicing and other obligations or business plans.
In addition, changes in applicable accounting standards may affect the ability of the subsidiaries of De
Raj Group, and consequently, De Raj Group’s ability, to declare and pay dividends. As De Raj Group
is a shareholder of its subsidiaries, De Raj Group’s claims as a shareholder will generally rank junior
to all claims of the subsidiaries’ creditors and claimants. In the event of a liquidation of a subsidiary, there may not be sufficient assets for De Raj Group to recoup its investment in that entity.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.26 Risks arise for the De Raj Group's business from the acquisition of patents
In the context of the formation of the De Raj Group the company De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd was
assigned several patents in the oil and gas sector relating to different jurisdictions by the owners of the
patents Kingtime International Limited, Singapore, Ms. Renata Anita de Raj and Mr Nagendran Nada-
rajah. These patents form a significant asset and thus play a material role in the De Raj Group’s business. Hence, there is an economic dependency of De Raj Group on these patents.
The assignments of the patents have already been filed to the respective competent register for regis-
tration. However, the registration of the assignment of the patents in the competent register is still
outstanding at the date of this prospectus. Due to the fact that in some jurisdictions relevant for the
assigned patents the registration is conclusive for the legal effectiveness of the transfer, De Raj
Energy Sdn Bhd has effectively not become legal owner of some of the patents yet. However, the
assignors of the patents have already transferred the right to make use of the patents to De Raj
Energy Sdn Bhd and the patents are already considered as assets of De Raj Group in the Pro-forma
consolidated financial information included in this prospectus. Nevertheless, there is a risk resulting
from the fact that De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd has not become legal owner of some of the patents yet. The
risk is that the transfer of the patents may for unforeseeable reasons (e.g. due to presently unknown
third party’s rights to the patents) eventually not become effective. In this case the patents may not be
regarded as assets of De Raj Group. Further, De Raj Group would not be able to utilise the patent in
its business operations which could severely curtail De Raj Group’s ability to fulfill its current and/or
future business operations.
- 71 -
Moreover, in case of the existence of third party rights, the respective third party could sue De Raj
Group for infringement of their patents. As a consequence, De Raj Group could be obliged to cease
the use of the patents. Further, the third party owners of the patents could claim compensation for the
use of the patents (in the form of damages) and seize products using or incorporating such patent.
Court decisions could be issued ex parte by way of preliminary injunction and force De Raj Group to
immediately cease using the patent concerned upon having been served on De Raj Group. In this
case, De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd may not have corresponding or sufficient claims to damages against
the assignors of the patents for reimbursement or such claims, if any, could not be enforceable.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.27 Risks arise for the De Raj Group's business from possible conflicts in view of intellec-
tual property rights
The intellectual property rights (“IP-Rights”) of De Raj Group, particularly the patents of De Raj Group,
could be challenged by older third party rights’ owners. In case such older rights exist, the owners of such rights could try to invalidate the patents of the De Raj Group. If they are successful, the protected
inventions could be used by anyone, freely. The same would apply, if the protected inventions were
not new at the time of the application for the respective patent. In such case, everybody could file for
cancellation of such patent. If such applications for cancellation are successful, the protected inven-
tions could be used by anyone, freely.
The operation of the business of De Raj Group could infringe third party IP-Rights. If so, the owners of
such rights could sue De Raj Group for infringement of their IP-Rights. As a consequence, De Raj
Group could be obliged to cease the use of certain trademarks, company names, designs, patents,
know how, copyright protected works, databases, etc. Further, the owners of the IP-Rights could claim
compensation for the use of the IP-Rights (in the form of damages) and seize products using or incor-
porating such IP-Rights. Court decisions could be issued ex parte by way of preliminary injunction and
force De Raj Group to immediately cease using the IP-Rights concerned upon having been served on
De Raj Group.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.1.28 De Raj Group’s major shareholders may have interests that may not be aligned or may
conflict with those of its other shareholders
Members of the de Raj family in Kuala Lumpur, i.e. Mr Nagendran C Nadarajah, his wife Ms Renata
Anita de Raj, and their sons Mr Nicholas Arnand de Raj and Mr Alexander Arjun de Raj (in the follow-
ing referred to as “De Raj Family)” hold directly or indirectly 85 % of the shares and voting rights in De
Raj Group AG. Furthermore, members of the De Raj Family are also members of the management
- 72 -
and supervisory board of De Raj Group AG (Mr Nagendran C Nadarajah and Mr Nicholas Arnand de
Raj are management board members and Ms Renata Anita de Raj and Mr Alexander Arjun de Raj are
supervisory board members).
The members of the De Raj Family have business interests outside of the De Raj Group which are not
aligned and also intertwined with the business interests of the De Raj Group:
De Raj Group owns owns five jack-up rigs, a type of mobile platform that consists of a buoyant hull
fitted with a number of movable legs, capable of raising its hull over the surface of the sea, which may
be deployed in oil and gas fields (“Jack-up Rigs”). However, the company Lexanda International,
British Virgin Islands, which is utlimately held by Alexander Arjun de Raj, also owns two Jack-up Rigs.
Although De Raj Group has entered into an agreement with Lexanda International whereby De Raj
Group will be granted a right of first refusal for future corporate opportunities for the deployment of its
Jack-up Rigs to address potential conflicts of interest, there is nevertheless a risk that Lexanda Inter-
national may make use of corporate opportunities to the detriment of De Raj Group in the future. Any
potential claims for damages De Raj Group may have against Lexanda International under the con-
tract entered into between De Raj Group AG and Lexanda International may prove not to be sufficient
to cover the damages incurred and/or equal the profits missed by De Raj Group or may practically not
be realised due to insolvency of Lexanda International.
Furthermore, De Raj Group is party to a contract with an Indonesian National Oil Company regarding
the installation and operation of a Mobile Offshore Production Unit (MOPU) at the PHE-38 field, off-
shore Madura, Indonesia (the “Pertamina Contract”). The Jack-up Rig deployed for the fulfillment of
the Pertamina Contract is the MOPU BOSS 1. The MOPU BOSS 1 Jack-up Rig is leased by De Raj
Group as lessee from the Indonesian company PT Nuriraja Energy as owner and lessor of MOPU
BOSS 1. Mr Nagendran C Nadarajah indirectly holds a substantial stake of the shares in PT Nuriraja
Energy. Although De Raj Group is of the opinion that the lease rates charged by PT Nuriraja Energy to
De Raj Group are at current prevailing market prices, there is a risk that future conflicts of interest may
arise in the contractual relationship, e.g. in view of an increase of the lease rates or in view of any
obligations to be fulfilled by PT Nuriraja as lessor and/or De Raj Group as lessee. Further, any poten-
tial claims for damages De Raj Group may have against PT Nuriraja because of breach of the contract
may prove not to be sufficient to cover the damages incurred or may practically not be realised due to
an insolvency of PT Nuriraja.
Moreover, the subsidiary of De Raj Group AG, Gaea Power GmbH, is the owner of 13 combined heat
and power plants („CHP plants“) spread throughout Viersen, Straelen and Geldern, Germany. These CHP plants generate electricity, which is fed into the public power grid, and heat, which is delivered to
nearby greenhouses. Six CHP plants are currently in operation. Further seven units are currently not
in operation due to ongoing modification works. Gaea Power GmbH does not operate the CHP plants
itself, but leases them as lessor to five companies in the legal form of an Unternehmergesellschaft (mit
breschraenkter Haftung) (in the following referred to as “UGs”), which operate the plants and pay a
monthly rent to Gaea Power GmbH. The UGs are ultimately held by Nicholas Arnand de Raj and Al-
exander Arjun de Raj. Although De Raj Group is of the opinion that the lease rates charged by Gaea
Power GmbH to the UGs are at current prevailing market prices, there is a risk that there might be
- 73 -
future conflicts of interests in the contractual relationship between Gaea Power GmbH as lessor and
the UGs as lessees, e.g. in view of potential future adjustments of leasing rates as Gaea Power GmbH
and the UGs have agreed to enter into negotiations on the lease rate every six months starting from
2018. Further, any potential claims for damages De Raj Group may have against the UGs because of
breach of the contracts may prove not to be sufficient to cover the damages incurred or may practical-
ly not be realised due to an insolvency of the UGs.
Furthermore, the company Maya Terang Sdn Bhd, which is ultimately held by Mr Nagendran C Nada-
rajah and his wife Ms Renata Anita de Raj, owns the premises which serve as office of De Raj Group
in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Although De Raj Group is of the opinion that the rental rates charged to
De Raj Group are at current prevailing market prices, there is a risk that future conflicts of interest may
arise in the contractual relationship between De Raj Group and Maya Terang Sdn Bhd, e.g. in view of
an increase of the rent or in view of any obligations to be fulfilled by Maya Terang Sdn Bhd as landlord
and/or De Raj Group as tenant.
Each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net as-
sets, financial position and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.2 Legal and Regulatory Risks
3.2.1 De Raj Group’s may be adversely affected by changes to the general legal, and regula-tory environment in the countries in which it operates
The De Raj Group’s business is subject to the general legal and regulatory framework in several juris-dictions including those related to Health, Safety and Environmental Matters (“HSE”). These laws and
regulations govern, among others, HSE compliance, specifications related to project operations, speci-
fications related to offshore drilling rigs and MOPUs and requirements related to equipment operation.
In addition, De Raj Group’s operations rely on licences, permits and registrations to conduct business in the jurisdictions in which De Raj Group operates, including, among others, De Raj Group’s ability to secure oil and gas projects locally and globally. Even when De Raj Group has obtained the required
licences, permits and registrations, De Raj Group is subject to continued review under applicable laws
and regulations, the implementation of which is subject to change. Further, De Raj Group has in-
curred, and expects to continue to incur, operating costs to comply with applicable laws and regula-
tions, and De Raj Group has made, and expects to continue to make, capital expenditures on an on-
going basis to comply with relevant laws and regulations.
There can be no assurance that De Raj Group will be able to remain in compliance with applicable
laws and regulations, that De Raj Group will be able to obtain, maintain or renew required licences,
permits and registrations or that De Raj Group will not become involved in future litigation or other
proceedings (or be held responsible in any future litigation or other proceedings) relating to HSE mat-
ters, the costs of which could be material. In addition, there can be no assurance that the adoption of
new HSE laws and regulations, new interpretations of existing laws and regulations, increased gov-
- 74 -
ernmental enforcement of these laws and regulations or other similar developments will not result in
De Raj Group being subject to fines and penalties or having to incur additional capital expenditures or
operating expenses to upgrade, supplement or relocate our equipment and facilities.
De Raj Group’s failure to comply with all applicable government laws and regulations, or a change in the government laws and regulations governing the industries in which De Raj Group operates, may
disrupt De Raj Group’s operations and could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and cash flows.The legal situation may change in the future, possibly with retroactive or
retrospective effect at any time and on short notice. Changes to the legal framework due to new laws
or other regulations or their amendment, or as a result of changes to their legal application by public
authorities or legal rulings, could have considerable negative effects on the business activities of the
De Raj Group. This will apply, in particular, if there are amendments to the legal framework applicable
to the De Raj Group which result in increased expenses for the De Raj Group or restrict the ability to
pursue its business. Therefore, changes in the relevant laws or the application of the law, for example
concerning the oil and gas business, could lead to a reduction or further limitations of the existing
business, future business opportunities and, increasing costs and/or a decrease of the profitability of
the business.
Furthermore, changes in regulation or case law could have a considerable negative impact on the
economic success of the De Raj Group. Should the Group not succeed or not succeed in due time in
adapting its business policy, as well as its business strategy to possible changes to the changed statu-
tory or fiscal law framework, or if adaptation is not possible, this could have a considerable negative
impact on the business activities and therefore the net assets, financial position and results of opera-
tions of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
If these changes in the legal framework or its interpretation occur, individually or together, or if other
changes of the legal framework should arise affecting negatively the Group’s business, this could have significant negative effects on the business, net assets, financial position and results of operations of
De Raj or the De Raj Group.
3.2.2 Risks arise for the De Raj Group's business from potential amendments of the Ger-
man promotion scheme for renewables energies
The combined heat and power plants (“CHP plants”) owned by Gaea Power GmbH and operated by the different UGs (haftungsbeschränkt) (“UGs”) benefit from the German promotion scheme for re-
newables energies according to the Renewable Energies Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz –
“EEG”). The continuation of the promotion pursuant to the EEG is precondition for the CHP plants’ profitable operation.
The EEG has been subject to numerous amendments, in the past. These amendments generally con-
cerned only new installations, i.e. installations which were commissioned after the coming into effect of
the new provisions, while existing plants were subject to transitional provisions (Übergangsregelung-
en) granting protection of the status quo (Bestandsschutz). However, it cannot be ruled out that future
adjustments of the EEG may also have an impact on existing plants, e.g. affecting operating condi-
- 75 -
tions and/or the revenue of the respective plant operators. Due to the fact that the CHP plants are not
operated by Gaea Power GmbH but by the UG’s the aforementioned factors will have a significant
negative effect on the business, net assets, financial position and results of operations of the UGs in
the first place. However, due to the fact that Gaea Power GmbH receives revenues from contracts
entered into with the UGs on the leasing of its CHP plants to the UGs any negative effect on the busi-
ness, net assets, financial position and results of operations of the UGs will likely in turn also have a
negative effect on the business, net assets, financial position and results of operations of Gaea Power
GmbH as the UGs will presumably not be able to honour their obligations under the lease contracts
anymore.
Thus, each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net
assets, financial position and results of operations of the UGs respectively Gaea Power GmbH, De Raj
or the De Raj Group.
3.2.3 Risks arise for the De Raj Group's business from possible political actions and/or
legal measures with respect to the usage of palm oil as fuel for CHP plants
In the past, the usage of palm oil in CHP plants was subject to a broad political debate in Germany. In
consequence, the promotion of corresponding CHP plants fired with palm oil according to the EEG
was severely restricted respectively abandoned for new plants as of 2012. It cannot be excluded that
this or a similar political debate will arise again and result in political actions and/or legal measures
undermining Gaea Power GmbH’s business plans for Germany.
Due to the fact that the CHP plants are not operated by Gaea Power GmbH but by the UG’s the aforementioned factors will have a significant negative effect on the business, net assets, financial
position and results of operations of the UGs in the first place. However, due to the fact that Gaea
Power GmbH receives revenues from contracts entered into with the UGs on the leasing of its CHP
plants to the UGs any negative effect on the business, net assets, financial position and results of
operations of the UGs will likely in turn also have a negative effect on the business, net assets, finan-
cial position and results of operations of Gaea Power GmbH as the UGs will presumably not be able to
honour their obligations under the lease contracts anymore.
Thus, each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net
assets, financial position and results of operations of the UGs respectively Gaea Power GmbH, De Raj
or the De Raj Group.
3.2.4 Risks arise for the De Raj Group's business from of legal uncertainties with regard to
provisions on the determination of the promotion amount
The CHP plants owned by Gaea Power GmbH and operated by the UGs (haftungsbeschränkt)
(“UGs”) benefit from the German promotion scheme for renewables energies according to the Renew-ables Energies Act (Erneuebare-Energien-Gesetz – “EEG”).
- 76 -
The EEG 2017, which entered into effect on 1 January 2017, established an auction regime for the
purpose of determining the promotion amount (Förderhöhe) for renewable energy installations. How-
ever, with regard to facilities commissioned before 1 January 2017 the promotion amount was set out
in Eurocent per kWh by the EEG itself (as “applicable values” under the EEG 2014 and “feed-in tariffs” under the EEG 2012 and previous versions of the EEG) depending, inter alia, on the installed capacity
respectively the rated output (Bemessungsleistung) of the facility (principle of gliding tariffs). The ap-
plicable values for small installations (i.e. with a small installed capacity/rated output) were higher than
for large installations (i.e. with a large installed capacity/rated output), since certain operating costs do
not depend on the size of the plant (fixed costs), so that an uniform applicable value for all plant sizes
would result in a too low promotion for small plants and/or an excessive promotion of large plants.
However, this principle of gliding tariffs was partly misused by project developers building a number of
small plants (so-called splitting of installations – Anlagensplitting) instead of a single large one (which
would generally be the more economical solution under market conditions). Therefore, the legislator
adopted an explicit provision according to which under certain conditions multiple facilities on one site
or in direct geographical proximity have to be treated as one plant in the context of the determination
of the promotion amount regardless of the ownership. Although this explicit provision came into effect
on 1 January 2009 (EEG 2009), at first, some voices argued that the principle of joint treatment of
plants (Anlagenzusammenfassung) should also be applied to facilities commissioned under the EEG
2004 correspondingly. Inter alia, the government and the legislator (in the reasoning for the EEG
2009) stated that splitting of installations was illegal under the EEG 2004. However, in the context of a
further amendment of the EEG at the end of 2009, the legislator adopted a transitional provision ac-
cording to which the above-mentioned provision was not applicable to certain modularly constructed
installation parks commissioned before 1 January 2009. After all, the legal situation under the EEG
2004 is still quite unclear.
Against this background, it cannot be excluded that such a joint treatment of plants could also be ap-
plied to the CHP plants owned by Gaea Power GmbH, since some of these CHP plants are operated
on the same site. This could result in lower promotion payments or even in repayment claims of the
grid operator.
Due to the fact that the CHP plants are not operated by Gaea Power GmbH but by the UG’s the aforementioned factors will have a significant negative effect on the business, net assets, financial
position and results of operations of the UGs in the first place. However, due to the fact that Gaea
Power GmbH receives revenues from contracts entered into with the UGs on the leasing of its CHP
plants to the UGs any negative effect on the business, net assets, financial position and results of
operations of the UGs will likely in turn also have a negative effect on the business, net assets, finan-
cial position and results of operations of Gaea Power GmbH as the UGs will presumably not be able to
honour their obligations under the lease contracts anymore.
Thus, each of the aforementioned factors could have significant negative effects on the business, net
assets, financial position and results of operations of the UGs respectively Gaea Power GmbH, De Raj
or the De Raj Group.
- 77 -
3.3 Risks related to the Listing and the Shareholder Structure
3.3.1 The trading volumes and market price for De Raj’s shares could fluctuate considera-bly, and the market price could decline in the future
As is the case with the securities markets in general, the quoted market price of the Company’s may fluctuate strongly and decline in the future. Such developments are determined by the relationship
between supply and demand for the shares of the Company, as well as various other factors. These
factors also include the development of the net assets, financial position and results of operations of
the Company, general operational and business risks, deviation of the actual results from the ex-
pected results, changes to the profit forecasts, strategy and business prospects of the Company as
well as the assessment of the associated risks, changes in earnings estimates and recommendations
by financial analysts, changes to general economic conditions, changes in the perceived prospects of
the business of De Raj Group, in particular the oil and gas markets in Malaysia and worldwide, chang-
es in government policy, legislation or regulation, changes in interest rates, changes to the sharehold-
ers, modification of the statutory framework conditions, changes to the Articles of Association of the
Company, developments of the business and the stock market prices of the Company’s competitors
and the development of sectors which are of importance to the business of the Company, changes to
the stock exchange prices in general, as well as the stock exchange environment and mood of the
capital market, trading liquidity of the shares in the Company, derivative transactions pertaining to
shares of the Company, speculative investment decisions, or forecasts of security analysts and inves-
tors. De Raj does not have influence on many of these factors.
There is no guarantee that there will be a liquid trading in the Company’s shares. Under certain cir-cumstances, investors may not be able to sell their shares quickly or at a price higher than the acquisi-
tion price of the shares or at the market price if an active market for the shares fails to develop or may
not be able to re-sell their shares at all.
The above factors may cause considerable volatility with respect to the liquidity and stock exchange
price of the shares of the Company without being necessarily associated with the business activities or
the income prospects of De Raj or De Raj Group.
3.3.2 Any future sales of a considerable number of De Raj’s shares by a major shareholder or a number of shareholders could lead to a decrease in the market price of the
shares
It cannot be predicted with certainty which effects future sales of shares by shareholders may have on
the stock market prices of the Company’s shares. If a major shareholder or a number of shareholders sell shares of the Company to a significant extent, offer them for sale or market them, or if the market
expects such actions, the stock exchange prices of the shares of the Company may fall. As a result of
a decline in the stock exchange prices of the shares, it is also possible that additional pressure to sell
may result from liquidation of the shares which are held by shareholders who have financed their
shares in part or in whole by third-party borrowing or who have concluded derivative transactions with
respect to shares of the Company. Further, it cannot be excluded that the simultaneous sale of a sig-
- 78 -
nificant portion of shares by one or more shareholders will have a material effect on the price of the
shares.
3.3.3 Future capital measures could lead to a decrease in the market price for De Raj’s shares and a substantial dilution of existing shareholders’ interests in De Raj
The Company could decide to issue new shares or other share related financing instruments, like e.g.
convertible bonds in the future. As a result, the market price of the shares in the Company may fall.
The future issue of shares or the exercising of conversion privileges or option rights with respect to the
Company’s shares, granted by means of bonds to be issued in the future may also dilute the ratio of the previous shares in the share capital of the Company and voting rights if the issue is carried out
without the granting of subscription rights or other rights granting the subscription or if such rights are
not exercised or cannot be exercised by shareholders outside Germany due to restrictions in other
jurisdictions.
In addition, convertible bonds issued by the Company may lead to a dilution of shares when exercised
or contain dilution protection provisions in case subscription rights or entitlements to dividend pay-
ments are excluded.
3.3.4 A sale and/or transfer of shares of the Company may in the future be subject to finan-
cial transaction tax
On January 22, 2013, the Council of the European Union adopted a decision authorizing eleven EU
member states, inter alia Germany, to proceed with the introduction of a financial transaction tax under
the European Union's "enhanced cooperation procedure". The European commission on February 14,
2013 adopted a draft directive for the implementation of the financial transaction tax. Since then the
introduction has been subject to controversial discussions resulting in uncertainty of its introduction,
scope, design and entry into force. The German government is still considering introducing a financial
transaction tax (Finanztransaktionssteuer). If and when such financial transaction tax will be intro-
duced, it may also be applicable on sales and/or transfers of shares in the Company resulting in the
respective shareholder’s obligation to pay those taxes when selling and/or transferring shares in the Company.
3.4 Tax Risks
3.4.1 De Raj Group may have to pay additional taxes following tax audits
The De Raj Group is subject to tax audits on a regular basis. No tax audits have been performed until
now at the level of De Raj. Tax assessment notices at the level of the De Raj Group companies are
not finally assessed, and thus, in general, are subject to future tax audits by the relevant competent
tax office. Tax audits or divergent legal interpretations by the tax authorities could lead to additional
tax liabilities including interest, which could have a significant adverse effect on the net assets, finan-
cial condition, and results of operations of De Raj or the De Raj Group.
- 79 -
3.4.2 De Raj Group may subject to additional taxes in Germany
De Raj may be subject to the German Foreign Tax Act if it is (i) holding at least participations of more
than 50% in a foreign company at the end of the foreign company's relevant fiscal year, and (ii) such
foreign company is generating passive income, which (iii) is subject to tax at an income rate of less
than 25%. Since the lease income derived by Labuan Companies is subject to income tax of less than
25 % and De Raj holds directly all shares in such entities, in general, the German CFC rules are ap-
plied. However, the equipment lease income is derived only from operating leases and is only consid-
ered to be passive from a CFC perspective, if the leases do not form part of an operational business.
Provided De Raj is not able to prove that the income, e.g. derived by Hummingbird Energy Inc., is
generated in the course of an overall active business, the income, determined according to German
tax provisions, might be attributed to Germany and fully taxed for corporate income and trade tax pur-
poses at approximately 32%. The same would apply in case Gryphon Energy (SEA) and De Raj Ener-
gy are generating passive income which is subject to tax at an income tax rate below 25% and if no
active business is maintained. This could have a significant adverse effect on the net assets, financial
condition and results of operations of De Raj and De Raj Group.
3.4.3 De Raj Group’s business is subject to the general legal and tax environment in Ger-many and the other countries in which De Raj Group is active
De Raj Group’s business is subject to the general legal and tax framework in Germany and the other
countries in which De Raj Group is active. The legal situation may change in the future, possibly with
retroactive or retrospective effect at any time and on short notice. Thus, changes in tax legislation,
administrative practice of German or foreign tax authorities or case law could have adverse tax con-
sequences for De Raj and De Raj Group. For example, there could be increases in the rates of capital
gains tax. Additionally, changes could be applicable to the ability to depreciate assets held, which
could have a significant adverse effect on the attractiveness of De Raj Group’s assts. Further, the German government is currently considering introducing a financial transaction tax (Fi-
nanztransaktionssteuer) which, if and when introduced, may also be applicable on sales and/or trans-
fers of shares of the De Raj Group companies. If these changes in the legal or tax framework or its
interpretation occur, individually or together, or if other changes of the legal or tax framework should
arise affecting negatively De Raj Group’s business, this could have a significant adverse effect on the net assets, financial condition and results of operations of De Raj and De Raj Group.

view of some of the patents the registration of the transfer of the patents is still pending so that the

- 95 -

factor under 3.1.26, “Risks arise for the De Raj Group's business from the acquisition of patents”, Sec-tion 8.12, “Intellectual Property Rights” and Section 8.7.2, “Material contracts outside the ordinary

8. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
8.1 Introduction and Overview
Oil and Gas Division
The oil and gas division of the De Raj Group is a service provider providing services encompassing
the full spectrum of the offshore upstream oil and gas supply chain. The division is capable of being
involved in
(1) offshore exploration which involves the search for rock formations associated with oil or nat-
ural gas deposits, and includes geophysical prospecting and/or exploratory drilling,
(2) well development, which occurs after exploration has located an economically recoverable
field, and involves the construction of one or more wells from the beginning (so-called “spud-ding”) to either abandonment if no hydrocarbons are found, or to well completion if hydrocar-bons are found in sufficient quantities,
(3) production, which is the process of extracting the hydrocarbons and separating the mixture
of liquid hydrocarbons, gas, water, and solids, removing the constituents that are non-
saleable, and selling the liquid hydrocarbons and gas
and, finally,
(4) site abandonment which involves plugging the well(s) and restoring the site when a recently-
drilled well lacks the potential to produce economic quantities of oil or gas, or when a pro-
duction well is no longer economically viable for production.
The oil and gas division of De Raj Group provides a high quality, comprehensive and cost effective
solution for the monetization of oil and gas fields. The potential clients of the oil and gas division of De
Raj Group AG are National Oil Companies (“NOC’s”), companies having stakes in oil fields as well as
other technological enterprises.
The division is strategically placed with a full range of assets ranging from jack-up rigs, drilling equip-
ment, processing equipment and marine equipment which are capable of handling offshore oil and gas
extraction and production for so called green fields (i.e. oil and gas fields that have not been devel-
oped yet and thus have no existing infrastructure), brown fields (i.e. oil and gas fields that have al-
ready been developed and thus have to be built around an existing infrastructure) and marginal fields
(i.e. oil and gas fields located in remote locations with little or no infrastructure and of a size or nature
that often makes it impossible to predict with certainty the amount or composition of recoverable hy-
drocarbons in place). The business concept of the oil and gas division of De Raj Group is to enter into
agreements on the deployment of its oil rigs in oil and gas fields. Oil rigs consist of the platform, i.e.
the jack-up rigs, and the topside construction on the jack-up rigs, i.e. the topside equipment:
- 97 -
Jack-up rigs (“Jack-up Rigs”) are a type of mobile platform that consists of a buoyant hull fitted with a number of movable legs, capable of raising its hull over the surface of the sea. The buoyant hull ena-
bles transportation of the unit and all attached machinery to a desired location. Once on location the
hull is raised to the required elevation above the sea surface supported by the sea bed. The legs of
such units may be designed to penetrate the sea bed, may be fitted with enlarged sections or footings,
or may be attached to a bottom mat.
Currently, the oil and gas division of De Raj Group holds the following five Jack-up Rigs in total owned
as property by Condor Energy (L) Inc.:
GAEA 3
GAEA 3 is a Bethlehem JU 200MC which is a Mat - Cantilever type Jack-up Rig. Having total legs
length of 269 ft, GAEA 3 is capable to operate up to 200 ft water depth. GAEA 3 is also ready to be
converted to a MOPU as and when it is needed.
GAEA 4
GAEA 4 is a Bethlehem JU 200MC which is a Mat - Cantilever type Jack-up Rig. Having total legs
length of 269 ft, GAEA 4 is capable to operate up to 200 ft water depth. GAEA 3 is also ready to be
converted to a MOPU as and when it is needed.
POSEIDON
POSEIDON is a LeTourneau Technologies designed 116-S Class Independent Legs Slot Jack-up Rig
with 343 ft of legs which is able to operate up to 200 ft water depth. POSEIDON is also ready to be
converted to a MOPU as and when it is needed. Poseidon has previously worked with 477 ft of legs
giving the rig 350 ft water depth capability. The legs were shortened to 343 ft when the rig was moved
to the North Sea and upgraded to be in full compliance with North Sea requirements in 1992 with life
enhancement completed in 2009. Upgrades included adding a level to the accommodations and com-
plete rebuilding with two man rooms. The Poseidon can be restored to 350 ft water depth capability
with the simple addition of leg sections, or be returned to the North Sea with the current leg configura-
tion.
MALAIKAT
MALAIKAT is a LeTourneau Technologies designed 84-S Class Independent Legs Slot Jack-up Rig
rated for operation of up to 350 ft water depth. MALAIKAT is also ready to be converted to a MOPU as
and when it is needed.
GAEA 200
GAEA 200 is a Bethlehem JU 200MC which is a Mat - Cantilever type Jack-up Rig. It has 3 column
legs each having a total length of 269 ft. GAEA 200 is capable of operating in 200 ft of water. GAEA
- 98 -
200 is equipped with complete drilling facilities for a drilling depth of up to 20,000 ft. GAEA 200 can be
converted to a MOPU as and when it is needed.
The following table provides an overview of further statistics regarding the Jack-up Rigs, including
their current location. The Jack-up Rigs are currently not in use but cold stacked. Cold stacking refers
to measures taken when rigs are out of service for a longer period of time to reduce maintenance
costs on the one hand and to protect the material on the other hand. In this case steps are taken to
protect the rig’s facilities, including applying protective coatings, filling engines with protective fluids
etc.

While the jacket structure, which constitutes the lower half of the platform structure, is partly sub-
merged in sea, the topside equipment (“Topside Equipment”) refers to the upper half of the structure, above the sea level, outside the splash zone, on which equipment is installed. This includes the oil
production plant, the accommodation block and the drilling rig. They are modular in design and so can
be changed out if necessary allowing the Jack-up Rigs to be readily updated with the technology re-
quired for the specific demands of the client and the requirements of the oil and gas field in which the
oil rig is employed.

Finally, the oil and gas division of De Raj Group AG also holds as owner of property equipment used
in drill ships (merchant vessels designed for use in exploratory offshore drilling of new oil and gas
wells or for scientific drilling purposes, “Drill Ships”).
Currently, parts of the Topside Equipment held by De Raj Group are in use and located on a Jack-up
Rig which is deployed in the KE-38 field off the Indonesian coast (cf. the explanations below under
“Business Development of the Oil and Gas Division since 20 February 2017”). The other Topside Equioment and equipment used in Drill Ships held by De Raj Group is currently not in use and located
in a rented warehouse in Johor Baru, Malaysia.
The book value of the Jack-up Rigs, the Topside Equipment and the equipment used in Drill Ships is
as follows:

EXIM Bank has a charge on the Topside Equipment owned by Hummingbird as well as the insurance
policies on the Topside Equipment owned by Hummingbird and over all existing, future and floating
assets of Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc. Otherwise, the tangible assets currently held by companies of
De Raj Group are free from encumbrances (for further charges granted to EXIM Bank in view of intan-
gible assets cf. Section 9.3.2, “Collateralisation”).
The oil and gas division of De Raj Group AG comprises of four companies each having its own func-
tion:
1. Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn. Bhd employs the vast majority of the labour workforce and func-
tions as management arm of the oil and gas projects and general operations and enters into
contracts with the clients, namely National Oil Companies (“NOC’s”) 2. Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc. owns and leases the Topside Equipment.
3. Condor Energy (L) Inc. owns the Jack-up Rigs while they are not deployed in oil or gas
fields.
4. De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd holds the patents of the oil and gas division of the De Raj Group
- 100 -
The oil and gas division of De Raj Group AG has a total workforce of 23 people, 3 employed by De
Raj Energy Sdn Bhd, 2 people employed by Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc. and 18 people employed by
Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd. (the aforementioned figures excluding management). The division
has offices in Malaysia (Headquarter), Singapore, Indonesia and Iran. Besides, for the operations and
maintenance of an oil rig currently deployed in Indonesia there is an agency employed crew of 34
people in Indonesia.
According to the business concept, in a first step, the oil and gas division of De Raj Group has to be
assigned with the deployment of an oil rig. The assignments will usually be awarded by NOC’s in ten-der offers and the assignment will be made for a duration of several years, often with the possibility for
a further prolongation.
Currently, Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn. Bhd is the company of the oil and gas division of De Raj Group
entering into the assignments with the clients. Thereby, Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn. Bhd may enter
into the contracts alone or together with other companies, e.g. by forming a consortium (as is currently
the case, cf. below).
In order to fulfill the contractual obligations under the contract, there will be a lease contract or charter
contract for the lease / charter of the Jack-up Rigs. Due to national statutory requirements, the con-
tract for the lease / charter of the Jack-up Rigs usually may not be entered into by companies of the
De Raj Group as the owner of the Jack-up Rigs often has to be a company domiciled in the country of
its deployment. To meet these requirements the Jack-up Rigs will usually be sold and transferred from
Condor Energy (L) Inc to a company serving as special purpose vehicle for the lease of the Jack-up
Rig.
Furthermore, there will be a separate lease agreement regarding the Topside Equipment. The lease
agreement regarding the Topside Equipment is separate from the lease / charter of the Jack-up Rigs
as the Topside Equipment will have to be customized to the specific needs and requirements of the oil
and gas field in question. Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc. as the owner of the Topside Equipment is the
company of the oil and gas division of De Raj Group which will enter into the lease agreements re-
garding the Topside Equipment.
Moreover, the lease agreements entered into by De Raj Group may also contain not only the lease of
the equipment but also the obligation to operate and maintain the oil rig during the term of its deploy-
ment (so called “wet lease”). To fulfill the obligations for the operation and maintenance, De Raj Group may employ its own employees but also may assign an agency employed work force with the task.
The business development of the Oil and Gas Division of De Raj Group from 1 January 2014 until the
date of this prospectus was as follows:
Business Development of the Oil and Gas Division from 1 January 2014 until 19 February 2017
In 2014, companies of De Raj Group were awarded a prestigious contract by the Indonesian National
Oil Company PTPertamina Hulu Energy West Madura Offshore (“PHE-WMO”) to install and commis-
- 101 -
sion a MOPU in their KE-38 field in Indonesia (the “Old Pertamina Contract”). The KE-38 field is a
small field that is currently operated by PHE-WMO. The Old Pertamina Contract ran from 1 January
2014 and, after extensions of the contract period, until 19 February 2017.
The Old Pertamina Contract was awarded to a consortium (“Consortium”) comprising of Gryphon
Energy (Asia-Pacific) Sdn. Bhd, PT. Anugerah Mulia Raya (the company has changed its name, the
former name of the company was PT Karya Bumi Lestari), and PT Pertamina Trans Kontinental.
Thereby, Gryphon Energy (Asia-Pacific) Sdn. Bhd served as a vehicle to enter into the Old Pertamina
Contract.
According to an agreement entered into between members of the Consortium (“Consortium Agree-
ment”), the basic task of Gryphon Energy (Asia-Pacific) Sdn Bhd was to acquire, prepare and provide
as well as to operate and maintain a Mobile Offshore Production Unit and the production facilities for
the required services under the Old Pertamina Contract (in view of the risks associated with the Con-
sortium Agreement cf. also the risk factor under 3.1.2, “Risks arise in view of the contracts entered into
in the context of the deployment of an oil rig”). In this respect, Gryphon Energy (Asia-Pacific) Sdn Bhd
was obliged to appoint the Indonesian company PT Nuriraja Energy, which holds the respective
MOPU BOSS 1 Jack-up Rig, which was chosen for the deployment in the KE-38 field.
The MOPU BOSS 1 was designed to handle crude oil as well as gas production in the KE-38 field and
was commissioned on 18 May 2014, which was the first oil / gas date. Since 18 May 2014 until 19
February 2017 De Raj Group continuously provided quality uptime performance to PHE-WMO. In
2016, forced by the falling oil prices, PHE-WMO requested the companies of De Raj Group to take a
temporarily lower lease rate for the MOPU, which De Raj Group agreed to in the light of the spirit of
the contractual relationship with PHE-WMO.
Business Development of the Oil and Gas Division since 20 February 2017
In 2017, PHE-WMO revised the rates for the deployment of the MOPU upward, in line with their com-
mitments and the contract has effectively been renewed for another 931 days from 20 February 2017.
Thereby, the Old Pertamina Contract was replaced by entering into a new contract (the “New Per-
tamina Contract”) with the Consortium. Thereby, in the context of the enterting into the New Pertami-
na Contract, the company Gryphon Energy (Asia-Pacific) Sdn Bhd used by De Raj Group under the
Old Pertamina Contract was replaced by Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn. Bhd. as party to the Consortium
Agreement.
The New Pertamina Contract runs from 20 February 2017 and has a term of 931 days. The New Per-
tamina Contract is the main source of revenue for the De Raj Group at the moment so that there is an
economic dependency of De Raj Group on the New Pertamina Contract.
To fulfill the New Pertamina Contract and the tasks assumed by Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn. Bhd
under the Consortium Agreement, the companies of the De Raj Group have entered into several con-
- 102 -
tracts in this respect (cf. the explanations under Section 8.7.1, “Material contracts during the ordinary
course of business”).
German Power Division
The business development of the German Power Division of De Raj Group from 1 January 2014 until
the date of this prospectus was as follows:
In 2016, the companies of the De Raj Group decided to diversify into power generation and estab-
lished Gaea Power GmbH in February 2016 to generate power and heat and supply power to the grid
and heat to local farmers in Germany, using Palm Oil as a feedstock as part of the German Govern-
ment’s renewable energy drive. The De Raj Group initially installed around 1 MW of power generation
equipment and purchased an additional 4 MW of semi completed units. In July 2017, De Raj Group
also commissioned an additional 1.2 MW of power generation capacity in Germany and aims to com-
mission another 0.8 MW of power shortly.
Currently, Gaea Power GmbH is owner of property of 13 combined heat and power plants („CHP
plants“) spread throughout Viersen, Straelen and Geldern, Germany. These CHP plants generate electricity, which is fed into the public power grid, and heat, which is delivered to nearby greenhouses.
The CHP plants can be categorized into three groups based on their capacity of 330kW, 363kW and
400kW. The majority of the units owned by Gaea Power GmbH has a capacity of 400kW. Regarding
the three categories, these CHP plants provide the largest revenue, since they generate more electric-
ity to be fed into the public power grid. However, only six CHP plants are currently in operation. Fur-
ther seven units are currently not in operation due to ongoing modification works. The Group expects
the recommissioning of three of these plants in fall 2017.
Gaea Power GmbH does not operate the CHP plants itself, but leases them to five companies in the
legal form of a German Unternehmergesellschaft (mit beschränkter Haftung), namely Rocky Kraft
Unternehmergesellschaft (mit beschränkter Haftung), Freya Kraft Unternehmergesellschaft (mit be-
schränkter Haftung), Kilat Kraft Unternehmergesellschaft (mit beschränkter Haftung), Vision Kraft Un-
ternehmergesellschaft (mit beschränkter Haftung) and Sutra Kraft Unternehmergesellschaft (mit be-
schränkter Haftung) (these companies in the following referred to as “UGs”), which operate the plants
and pay a monthly rent to Gaea Power GmbH (cf. the explanations under Section 8.7.1, “Material
contracts during the ordinary course of business”). As a matter of consequence, the UGs bear the
operational risks related to the CHP plants, while Gaea Power GmbH bears the insolvency risk of the
UGs.
All CHP plants owned by Gaea Power GmbH are fired with palm oil and benefit from the promotion of
renewables energies in Germany according to the Renewables Energies Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-
Gesetz – “EEG”). The UGs as operators of the plants market the generated electricity by means of so-
called direct marketing (Direktvermarktung) as stipulated in the EEG. This means that the respective
UG operating the individual plant sells the generated electricity to the direct marketer (Direktver-
markter), usually an utility or a trader, and receives, in return, a power purchase price from the direct
- 103 -
marketer and the so-called market premium (Marktprämie) from the grid operator to whose grid the
plant is connected.
Since the plants have been commissioned before the coming into effect of the EEG 2014, the UGs as
operators may opt for the so-called feed-in tariff (Einspeisevergütung) instead of the market premium
granted in case of direct marketing. In this case, the plant operator sells the generated electricity to the
grid operator and receives a fixes feed-in tariff in return from the grid operator. However, from a com-
mercial perspective, direct marketing is usually more attractive since the sum of purchase price and
market premium is usually higher than the feed-in tariff. Moreover, the CHP plants owned by Gaea
Power GmbH participate in the German Electricity Wholesale Market (Regelenergiemarkt) (and, thus,
generate an extra revenue) which is not possible in case of the feed-in tariff.
The promotion amount (Förderhöhe) of the individual plant depends, inter alia, on the date of commis-
sioning. All of Gaea Power GmbH’s CHP plants have been initially commissioned after 31 July 2004 and before 1 January 2009, thus, under the scope of the EEG 2004. Therefore, the promotion
amounts applicable to Gaea Power GmbH’s CHP plants are set out in the EEG 2004. Furthermore,
the date of the commissioning is decisive for the promotion period (Förderdauer) which lasts 20 calen-
dar years plus the part of the commissioning year as of the commissioning. Accordingly, for example
the promotion period of Gaea Power GmbH’s CHP plants which were commissioned in the year 2008 will last until 31. December 2028.
While the revenue generated from the power production is relatively stable due to the promotion ac-
cording to the EEG, the sale of heat and the purchase of palm oil are subject to free-market rules. The
heat generated in CHP plants is often sold under long-term agreements so that the respective income
is predictable for the plant operator to a certain extent, too. However, the UGs bear the risk resulting
from the volatile purchase prices of palm oil. The UGs lock in their palm oil purchases at forward pric-
es to mitigate this risk. Furthermore, palm oil production has been increasing steadily in both Indone-
sia and Malaysia, the two largest producers of palm oil in the world, to account for the increasing de-
mand in renewable energy over fossil fuels and natural gases. However, in the past it also occured
that palm oil prices increased to such an extent that the operation of palm oil fired CHP plants was not
profitable any longer despite the promotion according to the EEG.
8.2 Market Overview
Oil and Gas Division
The main market catchment area for the oil and gas division of the De Raj Group comprises of South
East Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East. However, the division has also participated in market
surveys, expression of interests and pre-qualifications for NOC’s and stakeholders from Europe and West Africa.
It is important to note that the oil and gas division of the De Raj Group is present in regions where
there are large volumes of offshore oil and gas reserves that require monetization solutions that are
cost effective and fast tracked, i.e. regions which require the core strengths of the oil and gas division
of the De Raj Group (cf. section 8.4 below “Competitive Strengths and Competition”).

8.3 Regulatory Environment
8.3.1 German Power Division
In Germany, the energy sector is highly regulated. The supply with power and gas through grids is
subject to the provisions of the Energy Industry Act (Energiewirtschaftsgesetz – “EnWG”) and its sub-
ordinated ordinances. In particular, the EnWG provides for a comprehensive regulation of the opera-
tion of power and gas grids comprising, inter alia, rules on third-party access, grid fee regulation and
provisions on so called unbundling between grid operation and other activities on the field of energy
supply such as production of gas/generation of power, storage of gas or sale of energy.
The Renewable Energy Sources Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz – “EEG”) constitutes the legisla-
tive act promoting the use of renewable energies. The EEG came into force in 2000 and has been
amended several times with the latest substantial amendment as of 1 January 2017 (“EEG 2017”). Like the previous large amendment of 2014, the amendment of 2017 is to be seen against the back-
ground of the European Commission’s approach to qualify the German renewable energies promotion scheme as notifiable state aid. The German legislator designed the EEG 2017 based on the Guide-
lines on environmental and energy State Aid for 2014-2020 of the European Commission and notified
it to the European Commission in order to ensure its compliance with European Law.
In particular, the EEG 2017 introduced so called auction procedures as the basic method to determine
the promotion amount to be paid for power generated in renewable energy facilities. While this promo-
tion amount was determined by law in previous versions of the EEG, plant operators now generally
- 105 -
have to participate in auctions in which a certain amount of capacity is allocated to the bidders with the
lowest bids (i.e. to the operators requiring the lowest promotion to realize their plant). Besides this, the
EEG 2017 contains provisions on the connection of installations for the generation of electricity from
renewable sources to the grid, on the (physical) offtake of the generated electricity by the grid opera-
tor, on the conditions under which the respective promotions, i.e. market premiums or feed-in tariffs,
are to be paid by the grid operators, and on a nationwide scheme to equalize the financial burden of
the promotion of renewable energies. Moreover, the EEG 2017 comprises numerous transitional pro-
visions to be applied on existing facilities commissioned under former versions of the EEG.
Priority grid connection and priority offtake
Facilities generating energy from renewable energy sources have priority regarding connection to the
grid. Moreover, grid operators are obliged to offtake, transmit and distribute electricity generated from
renewable sources. Upon request, grid operators shall immediately optimize, strengthen and expand
their grids in accordance with the best available technology in order to guarantee the offtake, trans-
mission and distribution of such electricity. In case of congestion in the grid, grid operators are obliged
to regulate the installations generating energy from renewable energy sources provided it is ensured
that the largest possible quantity of electricity from renewable energy sources and from combined heat
and power generation is being off taken (feed-in management). If, however, they have to do so, they
are obliged to compensate the installation operator (hardship clause).
Financial promotion
The EEG provides for two main types of financial promotion of renewable energy facilities: Direct mar-
keting (Direktvermarktung) with its so-called market premium (Marktprämie) and feed-in tariffs (Ein-
speisevergütung). Both the feed-in tariffs and the market premium are calculated on the basis of so
called applicable values (anzulegender Wert). In case of direct marketing, the plant operator sells the
electricity generated by his plant to a third party (generally the so-called direct marketer, i.e. an utility
company or a trader) which usually re-sells the electricity on the power market. By doing so, the plant
operator obtains the power price agreed with the purchaser (the direct marketer) on the one hand and
the market premium from the grid operator to whose grid the facility is connected on the other hand.
The market premium is calculated as set out in the EEG and equals, in principle, the respective appli-
cable value less the actual monthly average power price for power from the respective source (e.g.
onshore or offshore wind, photovoltaic and biomass). In case of feed-in tariffs, the plant operator de-
livers the generated power to the grid operator and receives the feed-in tariff which corresponds to the
applicable value reduced by a small amount. Therefore, direct marketing is usually more attractive for
the plant operator. Moreover, since the coming into effect of the EEG 2014, direct marketing is manda-
tory for the large majority of renewable energy plants. Only operators of facilities commissioned before
1 August 2014 and operators of certain smaller facility may opt for the feed-in tariff paid by the grid
operator. Additionally, a (reduced) feed-in tariff is granted for up to three calendar months in “excep-tional situations” (Ausfallvergütung), e.g. in case of an insolvency of the direct marketer.
As of 2017, the applicable value is determined in auctions (see above). However, the auction mecha-
nism does only apply on new installations. With regard to existing plants the respective applicable
value of the date of commissioning continues to apply. Under the EEG 2014 and earlier versions of
the EEG, the applicable values (which were referred to as “feed-in tariffs” under the EEG 2012 and
- 106 -
previous versions of the EEG) were set forth in eurocent per kWh by law for each kind of renewable
energy source (e.g. photovoltaic, onshore wind, offshore wind, hydropower, biomass etc.) depending
on the installed capacity respectively the rated output (Bemessungsleistung) of the facility (principle of
gliding tariffs). Furthermore, the applicable values were subject to degression, i.e. they were reduced
over time. However, with regard to the individual renewable energy facility the applicable value calcu-
lated for the date of commissioning applies for the whole promotion period.
Since certain operating costs do not depend on the size of the plant (fixed costs), an uniform applica-
ble value for all plant sizes would result in a too low promotion for small plants and/or an excessive
promotion of large plants. Therefore, the applicable values for small installed capacities/rated outputs
are higher than for large installed capacities/rated outputs. However, in order to avoid that project de-
velopers misuse these principle by building a number of small plants (so-called splitting of installation
– Anlagensplitting) instead of a single large one (which would generally be the economical solution
under market conditions), the EEG explicitly determines that multiple facilities on one site or in direct
geographical proximity are to be treated as one plant with regard to the promotion amount under cer-
tain conditions and regardless of ownership, as of 1. January 2009. However, it is not clear if this prin-
ciple also applies to facilities commissioned under the EEG 2004: Although the explicit provision came
into effect on 1 January 2009 (EEG 2009), at first, some voices argued that the principle of joint treat-
ment of installations (Anlagenzusammenfassung) should also be applied to facilities commissioned
under the EEG 2004 correspondingly. Inter alia, the government and the legislator (in the reasoning
for the EEG 2009) stated that splitting of installations was illegal under the EEG 2004. However, in the
context of a further amendment of the EEG at the end of 2009, the legislator adopted a transitional
provision according to which the above-mentioned provision was not applicable to certain modularly
constructed installation parks commissioned before 1 January 2009. After all, the legal situation re-
garding the joint treatment of installations under the EEG 2004 is still quite unclear.
New CHP plants fired with liquid biomass such as palm oil cannot be promoted according to the EEG
any more. However, existing facilities commissioned before 1 January 2012 which are fired with palm
oil may still benefit from the promotion described above and, in addition, from different bonuses, such
as a bonus for using renewable raw materials (NaWaRo-Bonus), a CHP bonus (KWK-Bonus) and a
so-called technology bonus (Technologiebonus). Though, the EEG respectively its subordinated ordi-
nances contain certain provisions regarding the sustainability of liquid biomass used as fuel in CHP
plants.
The EEG provides for multiple legal requirements to be observed by the operator of the plant. E.g.
each plant is to be registered in the installations register (Anlagenregister) respectively the market
master data register (Marktstammdatenregister). Moreover, most plants have to be remote controlla-
ble by the grid operator and the direct marketer. Furthermore, operators of CHP plants which are fired
with biomass have to comply with certain obligations, inter alia to proof sort, quantity and origin of the
fuels used in the CHP plant. Non-compliance with these or other mandatory provisions may lead to a
reduction or a total cessation of the plant’s promotion according to the EEG.
The financial promotion of a renewable energy facility begins with its commissioning. The duration of
the promotion (promotion period) generally lasts 20 years as of commissioning for plants commis-
- 107 -
sioned under the EEG 2017 and 20 calendar years plus the part of the commissioning year as of the
commissioning for plants commissioned under former versions of the EEG.
Nationwide equalization scheme
The costs resulting from the payment of market premiums and feed-in tariffs are passed on to the
energy suppliers (and, thus, in consequence to all power consumers) according to the so called na-
tionwide equalization scheme (bundesweite Ausgleichsregelung) set out in the EEG and in the Re-
newable Energies Ordinance (Erneuerbare-Energien-Verordnung - EEV). The equalization scheme
covers both electricity for which a feed-in tariff is paid and electricity which is directly marketed and,
thus, promoted by the market premium.
Promotion according to the Combined Heat and Power Generation Act (KWKG)
Under certain conditions, CHP plants may also obtain the so-called CHP surcharge (KWK-Zuschlag),
a promotion of cogeneration according to the Combined Heat and Power Generation Act (Kraft-
Wärme-Kopplungs-Gesetz – “KWKG”). However, this does not apply to facilities which are promoted
according to the EEG.
8.3.2 Oil and Gas Division
As operators and/or owner of oil rigs, the companies of De Raj Group may be subject to liability in
view of potential damages to the environment. The following section provides an overview over poten-
tial obligations to carry out countermeasures in the event of oil spills, potential liabilities for oil spills,
damages in respect of environmental disputes and sanctions for oil spills according to Indonesian
environmental laws and regulations in view of the ownership of oil rigs and/or the operation of oil rigs
in Indonesia.
Obligation to carry out countermeasures in the event of oil spills
Law No. 22 of 2001 regarding oil and gas makes business entities (eg, oil rig owners/operators) and
permanent establishments generally responsible for compliance with environmental management
obligations.
Government Regulation (“GR”) No. 35 of 2004 re Upstream Activities for Oil and Gas also makes con-tractors (eg, oil rig owners/operators), working in upstream oil and gas activities, responsible for envi-
ronment management, with “environmental management” being defined as the obligation to carry out prevention and undertake countermeasures in respect of pollution as well as recovery from environ-
mental damage.
GR No. 19 of 1999 re Control of Sea Pollution and/or Damage (“GR19/1999”) defines “sea pollution” as the entry or inclusion of living creatures, chemicals, energy or other components in the sea envi-
ronment as a result of human actions, which actions result in reducing the quality of the sea.
GR 19/1999 obliges the person in charge of a particular activity (eg, oil rig owners/operators) not to
pollute the sea as well as to not damage the sea. The act of polluting and/or damaging the sea is
- 108 -
treated as being equivalent to polluting the environment, something which constitutes a violation of
Article 87 of Law No. 32 of 2009 re Protection and Management of Environment (“Law 32/2009”).
The obligation not to pollute and/or damage the sea is further addressed in GR No. 21 of 2010 re
Maritime Environment Protection (“GR 21/2010”), which imposes an obligation to take countermeas-ures in the event of pollution. Article 24 of GR 21/2010 sets out that the unit person-in-charge is re-
sponsible for taking all countermeasures to deal with pollution resulting from the units’ activities.
“Oil spills at sea” are only defined in Presidential Regulation No. 109 of 2006 re Countermeasures in the event of Oil Spill Emergencies at Sea (“PR 109/2006”). PR 109/2006 provides that “oil spills at the sea” refer to the entry/leakage of oil, whether directly or indirectly, into the sea as a result of shipping, oil and gas business activities or other activities. “Oil and gas business activities” are further defined as including both downstream and upstream activities.
Article 25 of GR 21/2010 and Article 2 of PR 109/2006 impose an obligation on (i) the captain or the
commander of a vessel (eg, an oil rig) and/or the owner or operator of a vessel, (ii) the Port Adminis-
trator or Head of Port Office, (iii) the person in charge (eg, chief) in an oil and gas business unit carry-
ing on offshore oil and gas activities (eg, oil rig owners/operators) and (iv) the head or responsible
person in the case of other relevant activities (each a “Relevant Responsible Person”) to:
(a) take countermeasures in the event oil spills at sea occur as a result of their business
and/or activities; and
(b) report, to the relevant authority, regarding the oil spills and the counter measurements tak-
en.
The obligation to report, as referred to above, also applies to all other persons having knowledge of an
oil spill.
The oil spills report must be conveyed to the following authorities:
(a) National Countermeasures Operation for Command and Control of Oil Spills at Sea Emer-
gency Events (Pusat Komando dan Pengendali Nasional Operasi Penanggulangan Keadaan
Darurat Tumpahan Minyak di Laut or PUSKODALNAS);
(b) Port Office;
(c) Directorate that carries out tasks and obligations in the fields of technical and environmental
matters related to oil and gas activities;
(d) Regional Government; or
(e) other governmental authority that is close by.
- 109 -
Article 39.2 of GR 21/2010 provides that, in the event the Relevant Responsible Person fails to report
the pollution to the relevant authority, the Relevant Responsible Person will be subject to certain ad-
ministrative sanctions.
Aside from reporting to the relevant authorities, Article 53 of Law 32/2009 also obliges all parties (eg,
oil rig owners/operators) causing pollution and/or damage to the environment (each a “Specified Par-
ty”) to provide warnings to the public, regarding the environment pollution and/or damage.
Liability for Oil Spills
Article 88 of Law 32/2009 introduces a “strict liability” concept in respect of measures, business and/or other activity causing serious “threats” to the environment, without having to prove negligence on the part of the entity or person behind the relevant “threat” to the environment.
The “strict liability” concept also applies in the event of oil spills at sea. Article 11 of PR 109/2006 pro-vides that the owner or operator of a vessel (eg, an oil rig), the head of the relevant oil and gas busi-
ness activity (eg, oil rig owners/operators) or the highest level person-in-charge of the relevant off-
shore oil activity (eg, oil rig owners/operators) or other person holding a superior responsible position
is strictly liable for the costs of taking necessary countermeasures in respect of:
(a) oil spills at sea;
(b) environmental impact of oil spills at sea;
(c) society’s loss from oil spills at sea; and
(d) environmental damage as a result of the oil spills at sea.
Article 53 of Law 32/2009 requires Specified Parties to take all necessary countermeasures to:
(a) isolate the environmental pollution and/or damage;
(b) stop/halt the source of environment and/or damage; and/or
(c) utilize developments in science and technology for the purpose of dealing with environmental
pollution or damage.
Articles 54 and 85.1.b of Law 32/2009 obliges Specified Parties to address the polluted and/or dam-
aged environment, in stages, as follows:
(a) stop/halt the source of pollution and clean such pollution;
(b) remediation;
- 110 -
(c) rehabilitation;
(d) restoration; and/or
(e) other measures in accordance with the development of science and technology.
GR 19/1999 also specifies two types of liability for Specified Parties in the event that their business
and/or activity causes environmental pollution and/or damage at sea, as follows:
(a) responsibility for the costs of all countermeasures, taken in respect of environmental pollu-
tion and/or damage at sea, as well as the recovery costs; and
(b) in the event any form of loss to third parties is caused, the Specified Party is obliged to pay
compensations to the third parties.
Damages in Respect of Environmental Disputes
The payment of environmental compensation (i.e., civil damages) and resolution of environmental
disputes may be handled by way of court proceedings or otherwise.
Calculation of environmental compensation is based on Minister of Environment Regulation No. 7 of
2014 re Environmental Loss as a Result of Environmental Pollution and/or Damage, which identifies
the following relevant factors:
(a) loss as a result of not meeting the relevant Environmental Quality Standard;
(b) loss as a result for reimbursement of the costs of environmental dispute resolution;
(c) loss as a result of compensation payable with regard to countermeasures taken in respect of
environmental pollution and/or damage as well as environmental recovery; and/or
(d) ecosystem damage.
The calculation of environmental compensation is carried out by authorities with expertise in environ-
mental pollution and/or damage. The amount of environmental damage is calculated based on the
consensus of the parties in the event the dispute is resolved other than by court proceedings and
based on court decision in the event the dispute is resolved by court proceedings.

8.4 Competitive Strengths and Competition
8.4.1 Competitive Strengths
Oil and Gas Division
The oil and gas division of the De Raj Group was built with a vision to be a niche service provider to
the offshore oil and gas industry. It provides a full complement of services for offshore drilling, produc-
tion and storage.
Besides the above, having been built with a vision to be a niche service provider, the oil and gas divi-
sion of the De Raj Group strives to offer significant cost savings and accelerated revenues to its cli-
ents by delivering innovative and integrated solutions for early monetization of so called marginal oil
fields:
- 112 -
Offshore oil and gas field developments typically adopt the “satellite principle”, where existing pipeline network and production facilities in the vicinity are used to minimise capital expenditure (“CAPEX”). The remaining unexploited fields are often located in remote locations with little or no infrastructure
and of a size or nature that often makes it impossible to predict with certainty the amount or composi-
tion of recoverable hydrocarbons in place. These fields are often referred to as small, marginal, un-
conventional reservoirs or stranded assets (in the following referred to as “Marginal Fields”).
Marginal Fields refers to any hydrocarbon bearing field which is relatively small and is commercially
not viable under the existing fiscal regime of the contracts and the projected capital expenditures to
develop and produce the field. Such fields, if developed by deploying conventional methods may not
be economically viable due to the relatively high capital expenditure involved in putting up the offshore
platforms and the corresponding operating expenses (“OPEX”) required to operate these facilities. The production profile of hydrocarbons will plateau out after a few years due to the size of the field and will
thus not provide sufficient cash flow to support the project economics. In addition to adjusting the fiscal
regime, Governments and oil companies are focused on bringing the cost and time down for develop-
ing Marginal Fields.
It is widely acknowledged that economics of exploiting Marginal Fields are easily affected by changes
in basic economic parameters such as capital expenditure, time to first oil, operating costs, production
levels, recoverable reserves and even abandonment costs which can have a major effect on the prof-
itability of the venture.
In particular, if a field is marginal because of the uncertainty over the level of reserves, a period of pre-
production often referred to as extended well testing will have to be conducted giving additional reser-
voir information which will reduce uncertainty thereby leading to improved decision making.
The task is to enable field owners or operators to exploit the assets in Marginal Fields in an incremen-
tal, optimal and cost effective manner. There is therefore a need for a solution that offers the following:
- Minimum CAPEX for the field owner or operator
- First oil or gas in weeks to optimise cash flow – Improving the internal rate of return (IRR)
- Extended Well Testing (EWT) to determine reservoir profile
- Minimum risk & development costs from optimal data evaluation
- Operation in water depths of up to 120 meters
- Fit-for-purpose to produce small hydrocarbon reserves
- Operate with crude oil production rates as low as 2,500 barrel per day (1 barrel equals app.
158.987 liter)
- Economically viable where recoverable reserves are as low as 5 million barrels
- Flexible to cater for uncertainties surrounding remote field developments
The conventional development concepts used by oil companies cannot support commercial viability
when it comes to Marginal Fields.
- 113 -
The oil and gas division of the De Raj Group has specialised in the provision of low cost and fast de-
velopment methods for Marginal Fields to meet the aforementioned requirements and allow oil com-
panies the opportunity to exploit the development of Marginal Fields that lie within their contracted
areas. By doing so, the De Raj Group aims to provide Governments the opportunity to package Mar-
ginal Fields in their offering to the market for oil companies to invest in their oil and gas industry as
Marginal Fields become cheaper and faster to develop. The oil and gas division of the De Raj Group
understands the fact that National Oil Companies (NOC’s) and field stakeholders cannot support commercial viability of hydrocarbon exploration and production with the current dip in the crude oil
market in view of Marginal Fields.
Firstly, the oil and gas division of the De Raj Group offers the following solutions as part of its services
with a view to exploit Marginal Fields:
MOPU: Mobile Offshore Production Unit
In the event a field has proven to have sufficient resources, a decision is made to fully develop the
field and if the field is in relatively shallow water, fixed platforms will be designed, constructed and
installed. The installation of a fixed platform is very costly and often requires that there is an existing
pipeline network in the proximity.
However, if the field is considered marginal and the resources have not been proven as sufficient yet,
an early production system will usually have to be mobilised. An early production system will enable
further testing and initial production without having to incur the substantial costs of fixed platforms.
The costs of the installation of fixed platforms, which is not economically viable in marginal and un-
proven fields and in remote fields without pre-existing pipelines and production facilities, led to the
invention of the Mobile Offshore Production Unit (“MOPU”); i.e. an offshore unit capable of having gas
compression equipment, crude oil export, power generation for offshore platforms, enhanced oil re-
covery facilities etc. The MOPU typically comprises a hull which supports the production equipment,
legs, jacking system, a mat or spud cans. In addition to production equipment, the hull also supports
living quarters, cranes, and other marine equipment.
In contrast to a fixed platform a MOPU will not be fixed to the oil field. Thus, unlike a fixed platform, a
MOPU can be relocated without the need for crane barges or jack up drilling rigs’ derricks and as such is advantageous over the fixed platforms as it’s less costly to use. Economically MOPUs are a better
choice for marginal and unproven fields until a decision can be made whether to fully develop the field
and it becomes economically viable to install fixed platforms. Thus, if the reserves of the field prove to
be inadequate, the MOPU can be relocated thereby avoiding the costs of the installation and aban-
donment of a fixed platform. As a matter of conseuence, fixed platforms should only be installed once
it is clear that there are substantial reserves and that the field can be fully developed. However, if ade-
quate reserves are found, the MOPU may be used for an early production after which depending on
whether substantial reserves are found a decision can be made to fully develop the field at which point
fixed platforms can be installed.
- 114 -
FPSO’s, FPUS’s and FSO’s: Floating Production Storage and Offloading, Floating Production Unit, Floating Storage and Offloading:
In addition to MOPU’s, Floating Production Storage and Offloading units (“FPSO’s”), Floating Produc-tion Units (“FPUS’s”), Floating Storage and Offloading units (“FSO’s”) will be deployed. These are
floating units (as opposed to elevated platforms) having the capability to produce, store and offload
crude oil and/or gas from a ship shaped platform. These mobile units are required if there is no pipe-
line network in the proximity to store and transport the produced oil or gas.
Furthermore, in addition to the aforementioned technics, the oil and gas division of the De Raj Group
has developed the following further propriety, patented concepts to cater for the industries push for
continuous cost effective solutions in view of Marginal Fields:
MOPSU: Mobile Offshore Production & Storage Unit
A MOPSU is a mobile offshore production unit using a jack-up rig which has integral crude oil and
condensate storage capabilities. The MOPSU solution would be suitable if there is no nearby infra-
structure to pipe the oil. The integral crude and condensate storage and offloading facilities eliminate
the need to install pipelines or deploy an FSO as the MOPSU offers the option of storing oil and of-
floading from the facility itself. Savings can be achieved in OPEX since there are no pipelines or FSO
to operate and maintain and less coordination as all the facilities are being accommodated on a single
platform. At the end of field life, savings can be realised since abandonment of the production and
storage facility involves only jacking and mooring operations. Thus, savings can be achieved by de-
ploying a MOPSU.
The MOPSU has not been put into practice as yet due to fact the MOPSU is in competition with the
market for so called Floaters. Floaters are converted or custom-built ship-shaped floating vessels,
employed to process oil and gas and for temporary storage of the oil prior to transshipment (Floating
Storage and Offloading (FSO)). Currently, the employment of Floaters is much cheaper for the pur-
pose of oil storage and offloading. However, De Raj Group expects that in time to come the MOPSU
solution would become a viable option as a single stop facility providing processing, storage and of-
floading of hydrocarbons.
MdWHP: MOU Detachable Well Head Platform – A mobile offshore unit that is capable of in-
stalling independent satellite platforms.
A MOU Detachable Well Head Platform is a Jack-up rig with the topside equipment of a Well Head
Platform (“WHP”) temporary installed on its cantilever skid beams for installation offshore. The jack up
rig, or what is also called the installer rig, not only has the WHP topside equipment on its skid beams
but also has the substructure of the WHP installed temporarily to its mat. Once at site, the substruc-
ture of the WHP is installed forming a foundation for the topside. The skid beams will be skidded out
over the substructure for the installation of the topsides. Once complete, the installer rig, using the
MdWHP solution, would have installed an independent satellite WHP. As opposed to the conventional
- 115 -
method of installing a satellite WHP, this solution requires lesser marine vessels, completes installa-
tion in a shorter time frame and as a result is cost effective.
MdERF: MOU Detachable Enhanced Recovery Facility - A mobile offshore unit that is equipped
with enhanced oil recovery facilities for early monetization of hydrocarbons
A MOU Detachable Enhanced Recovery Facility is a Jack-up Rig equipped with topsides that cater
specifically for enhanced recovery facility (“ERF”). ERF is the implementation of various techniques to
enhance the amount of crude oil or natural gas from a reservoir. Equipment normally installed on an
ERF are water injection skids, gas injection/lift skids, equipment for artificial lifting and/or chemical
injection skids. The MdERF assists its users by maximizing production of oil and/or gas from a reser-
voir.
FAST: Flow Assured Systems & Technologies – An innovative solution to ensure optimal flow
of hydrocarbons within tanks, pipelines and well conductors.
FAST is a solution for the perennial issue of wax and asphaltene build-up in storage tanks, pipelines
and production wells. Problems associated with paraffin and asphaltene, in the form of deposition,
vary from field to field, and sometimes from well to well in the same field. These negative effects
steadily reduce the flow rate in the pipelines and wells, eventually stopping flow altogether whilst re-
ducing storage capacity and creating difficulties in offloading from storage tanks. FAST provides a
solution by making sure any blockages in any conduit is effectively liquefied and broken down to the
point where they can no longer precipitate again. Achieving optimal flow in pipelines, production wells
and storage tanks greatly increases the rate of production in any oil field.
To sum up, De Raj is of the opinion that its oil and gas division of the De Raj Group has a vast array of
high quality, fast tracked and cost effective solutions for various applications.
The solutions offered by De Raj Group are predominantly focused on using the patented solutions
while at the same time being also capable of offering the more standard solutions offered by De Raj
Group’s competitors. In the opinion of De Raj Group, the accumulated technological knowledge and its patents enable De Raj Group to provide tailor-made solutions that are required for the client’s assets. Thus, the De Raj Group is of the opinion that its knowledge, experience and patents provide the oil
and gas division with an advantage over its competitors.
German Power Division
Within the large and growing renewable energy space in Germany, biomass based generation is the
third largest after wind and solar. More than 95% of biomass is biogas based, generated by domestic
German corn feedstock, animal manure and various harvest waste.
Liquid biomass generation relies of competitive vegetable oils grown under strictly supervised sustain-
ability conditions. Biogas has the added advantage that it can be firmly contracted at fixed prices with
major suppliers of standing for more than five years and taken out of the public gas grid (even as natu-
ral gas) by way of feed-in offset compensation delivered anywhere else in Germany into the gas grid.
- 116 -
De Raj Group sees its competitive advantage in the fact that it has a shareholder background in the
region of the world where the most competitive feedstock – palm oil - originates from: South East Asia,
namely Malaysia. In the opinion of De Raj Group, this allows De Raj Group to leverage on its corpo-
rate roots in Malaysia and to structure more favourable supply chain costing.
8.4.2 Competition
Oil and Gas Division
A marginal field that can be developed by a MOPU can also be developed by other comparable solu-
tions. Hence MOPU suppliers have to compete with suppliers of other competing production systems
as well.
De Raj Group sees the following global suppliers as its competitors in view of the provision of MOPU
and other comparable solutions:
Company
Country
Fred Olsen Norway GustoMSC (Subsidiary of SBM Offshore) Netherlands
Compass Energy Singapore Perisai Petroleum Malaysia MISC Bhd Malaysia Mercator Limited India Global Process Systems UAE
German Power Division
De Raj Group does not see any enterprises which may qualify as competitors as such. However, the
German power division naturally has to compete with other renewable energy sources like hydro, wind
and solar generated power. However, De Raj Group is of the opinion that there is an advantage in
biomass fuel compared to hydro, solar and wind based power generation as it is the only renewable
sector not dependent on weather and nature.
8.5 Strategy
Oil and Gas Division
It is the strategy of the oil and gas division of De Raj Group to continue to apply its core strengths, in
particular regarding Marginal Fields, and thus winning more contracts in order to sustain its recurring
income. Although De Raj does acknowledge the fact that the downturn in oil and gas prices has
slowed down the oil and gas market, De Raj is of the opinion that with its track record, the ability to
offer a variety of solutions with or without the use of its very own patented solutions plus its vast array
of assets, De Raj Group is well prepared to maintain itself in the business and to overcome the chal-
lenges it may encounter in the future.
German Power Division
- 117 -
It is the objective of the De Raj Group to expand the power business to a total generation capacity of
20MW electric energy, based on biomass, in Germany. This will be driven by mostly liquid biomass,
such as refined palm oil, but also incorporate opportunistic acquisitions of biogas-fed assets.
Only locations and assets with a remaining concession life span of ten years or more will be targeted
and subject to favourable fixed feedstock prices, a return on investment of five years is the underlying
objective.
Along the growth path, strong efforts will be made to secure and improve margins by securing strate-
gic feedstock options, lowering supply chain cost and improving operational efficiencies.
The track record of De Raj Group’s German power operations in the field of renewable energy are destined to serve the company as a platform for future horizontal and vertical growth opportunities –
such as energy storage solutions for the same, existing utilities and grid operator customers as well as
for an international expansion in Europe and beyond.
By acquiring sufficient assets in a concentrated territory northeast of Duesseldorf and close to the
Dutch border, the company strives to enjoy operational economics of scale, fast track its technical
learning curves between the various operating assets and to gain leverage for the inevitable renego-
tiations with grid operators and utilities outside of the EEG umbrella – post end of concession.
As biomass is the only renewable sector not dependent of weather and nature, as opposed to hydro,
solar and wind based generation, its consistent and predictable reliability virtually assures a continued
operational understanding with grid operators that are keen to mitigate the increased volatility of the
power generation mix in Germany. Ever more lucrative power storage and grid balancing services can
be part of the service package to be offered and negotiated towards the end of concessions.
With sufficient demand created by Gea Power GmbH – 20MW would equate an annual demand of
approximately 45,000 tons annually - the resulting demand scale shall allow De Raj Group to leverage
on its corporate roots in Malaysia and to structure more favourable supply chain costing. The same
scale advantages will apply should global vegetable oil process spike for a period of time and necessi-
tate the switch to less profitable, yet still operationally profitable, supply of Biogas as alternative feed-
stock source.
8.6 Investment and Financing Requirements
Additional future investments are to be funded partially from the net proceeds of future capital increas-
es.
8.6.1 Funding and capital market orientation
In the past, the expansion of the companies of De Raj Group was mainly funded by the earnings of the
companies of De Raj Group and financing provided by the existing shareholders. However, the De Raj
Group’s, namely Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc, owns Topside Equipment for the oil rigs which was
- 118 -
financed by bank debt via a loan granted by Export-Import Bank of Malaysia Bhd (cf. also section
8.7.1, Material Contracts during the ordinary course of business). There was no funding via capital
markets.
In line with the growth strategy defined by the Management Board, the Company now intends to gain
access to the capital market by way of the listing in order to obtain a potential further means of capital
sourcing to finance its further growth in the short and medium term. A broader investor base e.g. via
an increasing free float, is expected to provide a stronger basis to finance the envisaged growth.
Furthermore, the Company also takes into considerations to issue bonds, in particular convertible
bonds, for its future investment and/or financing purposes, thereby utilizing the authorization to issue
convertible bonds and the contingent capital in the articles of association of the Company, which was
resolved upon by the shareholders’ meeting of 11 October 2017 (cf. Section 17.3 “Contingent Capi-
tal”).
8.6.2 Investments and Financing Structure
The financing structure of De Raj Group Group is medium-term oriented. The current average debt
maturity as of 30 June 2017 is around 2.5 years with a homogenous maturity profile and a current
average cost of debt of 4,5%. The current loan to value (ratio of a loan to the value of an asset pur-
chased - “LTV”) is at about 54,2%.
Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc. has entered into a facilities agreement of up to USD 55 Million on 25
March 2015 with Export-Import Bank of Malaysia Berhad (“Exim Bank”). This facility (“Exim Facility”)
was mainly for the refinancing of the topside engineering equipment based on the MOPU BOSS 1 rig.
The interest payable is a floating rate of EXIM Bank’s Cost of Fund (“ECOF”) plus 2 % per annum.
ECOF is EXIM Bank’s borrowing cost which shall either be based on LIBOR or any other rate that is to
be determined by EXIM Bank at its absolute discretion, plus cost of borrowing by EXIM Bank. ECOF is
based on the prevailing rate at the point of drawdown of the facility. The term of the Exim Facility has
been restructured to 13 quarterly installments.
Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc. had bank borrowings under this Exim Facility of approximately USD 33
Million as of 30 June 2017, approximately USD 37 Million as of 31 December 2016 and approximately
USD 48 Million as of 31 December 2015. As of the date of this prospectus, the total banking facilities
available to Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc. under the Exim Facility amounted to kEUR 27,501, of which
all 100% were fully utilised. The Exim Facility is the only bank facility currently available to De Raj
Group and of major importance so that there is an economic dependency on the Exim Faciity for De
Raj Group.
The following table shows the investments of the companies of De Raj Group from 1 January 2014
until the date of this prospectus:

The investment of Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc in 2014 mentioned above related to the upgrading of
existing and acquisition of new Topside Equipment for the deployment on the MOPU BOSS 1 rig in
order to fulfill the Old Pertamina Contract entered into by the companies of De Raj Group (cf. above
under section 8.1, “Introduction and Overview”, “Business Development of the Oil and Gas Division
from 1 January 2014 until 19 February 2017”). This included facilities for Production separation, Gas
export compression, Produced water, flare gas, gas lift, gas power generation, accommodation and
Helideck for processing 6000 barrels per day of crude oil, 4000 barrels per day of producing water, 75
million standard cubic feet per day of gas processing and flare and 20 million standard cubic feet per
day of gas lift.
The investment of Gea Power GmbH in 2015 mentioned above related to the 13 CHP plants currently
owned by Gaea Power GmbH in order to implement the decision of the companies of De Raj Group to
diversify into power generation in February 2016 (cf. above under section 8.1, “Introduction and Over-view”, “German Power Division”). The power generation facilities in Germany have about 5 MW of
Power generation units, where 2.22 MW are installed and commissioned as of this prospectus date,
0.8 MW are refurbished and ready to instal and the balance awaiting refurbishment. These units run
on Palm Oil and cater to the renewable energy program of the German Government.
Apart from the above, there have been no investments by companies of the De Raj Group from 1 Jan-
uary 2014 until the date of this prospectus.
Investments made by De Raj Group are linked to projects relating to the specific deployments of oil
rigs and correspond to specific custom requirements of each customer, linked to that project. General-
ly, significant investments will be incurred for upgrading the existing assets to suit the requirements of
potential future projects. However, due to the fact that there are currently no specific further projects,
there are no outstanding investments that have already been concluded or approved by the Manage-
ment Board of the Company.
As a part of the further expansion of business activities, funds may be required in excess of the Com-
pany’s net proceeds from any potential future capital increases. In this case, the borrowing of capital,
e.g. by way of bank loans or issuance of bonds, including convertible bonds, may be necessary in
addition to any capital increase, particularly regarding major investments such as the upgrading of
- 120 -
existing oil rigs or their custom Topside Equipment or procurement of new assets for upcoming project
work.
Should the Company prove unable to acquire sufficient equity and/or additional debt financing, it might
incur financing costs higher than anticipated or be unable to implement its growth strategy.

8.8 Insurance
De Raj Group has purchased various operating insurance policies, which include, inter alia: insurance

risks and workers compensation. In addition, a Directors’ & Officers’ insurance policy (Ver-
mögensschadenshaftpflichtversicherung) is in force for the members of the Management Board and
Supervisory Board.
- 133 -
The Company considers the De Raj Group to be appropriately covered with regard to the nature of its
business activities and the related risks in the context of the available insurance offerings and rates.
However, it is impossible to exclude the possibility that De Raj Group will incur damages that are not
covered by its insurance policies or that exceed the coverage limits of these insurance policies. More-
over, there can be no guarantee that it will be possible for De Raj Group to obtain adequate insurance
coverage in the future.
8.9 Litigation/ Administrative Proceedings

tion with its ordinary business activities. During the last twelve months, however, no member of the De

8.12 Intellectual Property Rights
In the context of the Formation of the De Raj Group (cf. section 7.4.3, “Formation of the De Raj
Group”) the company De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd was assigned several patents in the oil and gas sector
by the owner of the patents Kingtime International Limited, Singapore, Ms. Renata Anita de Raj and
Mr Nagendran Nadarajah (cf. above section 8.7.2, Material Contracts outside the ordinary course of
business). These patents form a significant asset and thus play a material role in the De Raj Group’s business. Hence, there is an economic dependency of De Raj Group from these patents.
Thereby, it is to be noted that the assignments of the patents has already been filed to the respective
competent register for registration. However, the registration of such assignments in the competent
register is still outstanding. Thus, due to the fact that in some of the relevant jurisdictions the registra-
tion is conclusive for the legal effectiveness of the transfer, De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd has not become
legal owner of some of the assigned patents as of the date of this prospectus yet. However, the as-
signors of the patents have already transferred the right to make use of the patents to De Raj Energy
Sdn Bhd and the patents are already considered as assets of De Raj Group in the Pro-forma
consolidated financial information included in this prospectus. (cf. section 13., “Pro-forma Consolidat-
ed financial information of De Raj Group”). Nevertheless, due to the fact that De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd
has not become legal owner of some of the patents yet, there is a risk for De Raj Group resulting from
the fact that for unforeseeable reasons the transfer of the legal ownership may eventually not become
effective (cf. the risk factor under 3.1.26, “Risks arise for the De Raj Group's business from the acqui-
sition of patents”). The following table shows the patents assigned to De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd. The
table also lists the status of the legal effectiveness of the transfer of the ownership at the date of this
prospectus in the column “Legal Ownership Already Transferred?”.

10. DIVIDEND POLICY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
Shareholder allotments in the distributable profits of the Company shall be determined by their shares
in the share capital, unless otherwise decided by Shareholders Meeting. For a German stock corpora-
tion (Aktiengesellschaft), resolutions concerning the distribution of dividends and the amount to be
distributed for a given fiscal year are adopted by the Shareholders’ Meeting in the subsequent fiscal
year on the basis of a joint proposal by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. Dividends
may be distributed only from the net retained earnings of the Company. Net retained earnings are
calculated on the basis of the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with the
accounting principles of the HGB. Accounting principles under the HGB differ significantly from those
under IFRS.
The net retained earnings available for distribution is calculated by adjusting the net income/net loss
for the fiscal year for retained profits/accumulated losses brought forward from the previous fiscal year
and withdrawals from or appropriations to reserves. Certain reserves must be created by law and re-
spective allocations must be deducted when calculating the net income/net loss for the fiscal year
before profit distributions. Additional limitations apply where internally generated intangible fixed as-
sets, deferred tax assets, or the excess of plan assets over corresponding pension obligations have
been capitalized.
The Shareholders’ Meeting resolves on the appropriation of net retained earnings with a simple ma-jority of votes cast. If the Management Board and the Supervisory Board adopt the annual financial
statements, they may appropriate up to one half of the net income for the fiscal year to other surplus
reserves, after deducting from the net income for the year those amounts which must be appropriated
to the legal reserve and any accumulated losses brought forward. Any dividends resolved by the
Shareholders Meeting are distributed shortly after the Shareholders’ Meeting in accordance with the resolution on the appropriation of profits and the rules of the relevant clearing system. Withholding tax
of 25% of the dividend, plus a solidarity surcharge of 5.5% thereon and any applicable church tax are
generally withheld. To the extent the dividend is disbursed from the contribution account for tax pur-
poses (Section 27 of the German Corporation Tax Act (Körperschaftsteuergesetz - “KStG”)), no with-
holding tax or solidarity surcharge (or church tax) are withheld. For further information on the taxation
of dividends, please refer to Section 19.2 “Taxation of Shareholders”. There are no restrictions on dividend payments or specific procedures for nonresident owners of a security.
Dividend claims are subject to the regular three-year limitation period. Once the limitation period pass-
es, the dividend remains with the Company.
Due to the fact that the Company was a shelf company and its business purpose was restricted to the
administration of its own assets until August 2017, there have been no net retained earnings available
for distribution for the abbreviated financial year 2015 and the full financial year 2016. Corresponding-
ly, there was no distribution of dividends for the abbreviated financial year 2015 and the financial year
2016.
- 141 -
Based on the formation of the De Raj Group by the acquisition of its subsidiaries, the Company has
set the ground to be in a position to distribute dividends in the future. The Company intends to follow a
mixed approach whereby a part of the distributable profits will be paid out to the shareholders and a
part of the distributable profits will be kept with the Company in order to strengthen its financial posi-
tion for its future business. The decision on whether and in what amount dividends are to be distribut-
ed will depend on a series of factors, including the level of distributable profit for the year, market de-
velopments, the investment policy, the Company's rating status, the financing needs of the De Raj
Group at the time as well as the respective resolution to be adopted by the Company's shareholders'
meeting and no assurance can be given that the Company will achieve sufficient distributable profits
for a distribution in the future. As the Company does not conduct any operating business itself its abil-
ity to pay dividends depends substantially on its operating subsidiaries and affiliates making profits
and distributing these to the Company or transferring them to the Company. Furthermore, the De Raj
Group's financing agreements may in the future include financial covenants that may indirectly restrict
the amount of cash available for the distribution of dividends.
The Company can make no predictions as to the size of future profits available for distribution, or
whether distributable profits will be achieved at all. Hence the Company cannot guarantee that divi-
dends will be paid in the future. Moreover, the results of operations as set out in the financial state-
ments may not be necessarily indicative of the results that should be expected in the future or
amounts of future dividend payments.

11. SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Investors should read the following selected financial information of the companies of De Raj Group
together with sections “3. Risk Factors”, “8. Business Description” and “12. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Net Assets, Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the financial sections of this Prospectus.
This section includes selected financial information for the Company for the fiscal years ended 31
December 2015, 31 December 2016 and selected interim financial information for the first six months
of 2017. Furthermore, this section includes selected financial information for the company Humming-
bird Energy (L) Inc for the fiscal years ended 31 December 2014, 31 December 2015, 31 Decem-
ber 2016 and selected interim financial information for the first six months of 2017 and for the compa-
ny Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2016 and selected interim
financial information for the first six months of 2017 as these companies were the only significant
companies of the De Raj Group as regards turnover, profits and balance sheet equity in the period
from 1 January 2014 until 30 June 2017.
Furthermore, this section includes selected financial information of the pro-forma consolidated ac-
counts for the De Raj Group, which was formed in October 2017, for the fiscal year ended 31 Decem-
ber 2016 and the first six months of 2017. This financial information is based upon the following:
In October 2017, De Raj has acquired shares in the companies Gryphon Energy (SEA), Hummingbird
Energy (L) Inc, De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd, Condor Energy (L) Inc and Gaea Power GmbH whereby the
now existing De Raj Group was formed. Furthermore, in October 2017, i.e. shortly before the afore-
mentioned acquisition of shares, the company De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd acquired patents and the com-
pany Condor Energy (L) Inc acquired five Jack-up Rigs (the aforementioned transactions in the follow-
ing referred to as “Formation of De Raj Group”).
On the basis of the Formation of De Raj Group and the respective acquisitions, De Raj has prepared
pro-forma consolidated profit and loss statements for the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December
2016 and for the period from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017 as well as a pro-forma balance sheet as
of 30 June 2017 and supplemented these with pro-forma notes (hereafter collectively referred to as
the “Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information”). The purpose of the Pro-Forma Consolidated
Financial Information is to present the material effects the Formation of De Raj Group would have had
on hypothetical consolidated financial statements of De Raj if the acquisitions which took place in the
context of the Formation of De Raj Group had been a part of the De Raj Group throughout the entire
fiscal year ended 31 December 2016 and the six months period ended 30 June 2017. Thereby, the
reference to De Raj Group in the period from 1 January 2016 until 30 June 2017 has to be understood
as hypothetical as there had been no De Raj Group during that period due to the fact that De Raj
Group only came into existence upon the Formation of De Raj Group.
The pro-forma consolidated profit and loss statements for the period from 1 January 2016 to 31
December 2016 and for the period from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017 were prepared based on the
assumption that the acquisitions took place as of 1 January 2016.
- 143 -

12.1 Business Overview
Revenue
De Raj Group derives its revenue from the following business segments:
(a) Leasing of Marine Offshore Equipment
Over the years, De Raj Group has accumulated an assortment of marine based engineering
equipment which is enhanced and subsequently leased to interested parties over a period of
long lease with a minimum of three (3) years, up to a maximum of fifteen (15) years.
(b) Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning
De Raj Group designs, engineers, purchases, fabricates, installs and commissions process
modules and equipment on a turnkey project basis (Engineering, Procurement, Construction
and Commissioning, “EPCC”). The process modules and equipment are critical parts of the
production facilities for FPSO vessels, MOPUs, offshore platforms and onshore gas power
plants.
(c) Contract Engineering and Other Services
Since 2014, De Raj Group also customises its services to cater to the needs of its customers,
who do not require fully integrated turnkey services but bespoke engineering and other ser-
- 164 -
vices. Such services include project management, engineering, procurement and/or construc-
tion.
(d) Leasing of CHP Plants
De Raj Group derives its revenues partially from lease rates which are payable under leasing
agreements which De Raj Group enters into as lessor.
Currently, De Raj Group’s main source of revenue is the long term leasing of a Mobile Offshore Pro-
duction Unit off the coast to Surabaya, Indonesia.
Other revenue is mainly derived from contracts relating to EPCC for process modules and equipment.
These contracts are project-based, generally non-recurring in nature and are based on a fixed contract
value which is agreed with the customers prior to the execution of such contracts. These projects
typically take between six months to a year to complete, depending on the complexity and
specifications requested by the customers.
The revenue and cost from EPCC projects are recognised progressively in proportion to the stages of
completion based on milestones agreed with the customers which is reflective of the value of work De
Raj Group has done. When De Raj Group anticipates that total project costs will exceed total project
revenue of an EPCC project, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
Cost of sales
The major components of cost of sales comprise the following:
(a) Depreciation of the asset leased out and all incidental costs related to the maintenance and
availability of the assets in relation to the operational performance of the assets. These would
include insurances, repairs and maintenance, scheduled overhaul of the operating equipment.
(b) cost of compressors, motors, engines, heaters and coolers and related spare parts;
(c) direct labour costs; and
(d) other costs.
Percentage of cost of compressors, motors, engines, heaters and coolers and related spare parts, that
are procured in each EPCC project and is typically dependent on the technical specification and project
requirements. As such, the cost of compressors, motors, engines, heaters and coolers will make up a
smaller percentage of the total cost of that particular project.
For any EPCC project, De Raj Group’s in-house engineers / skilled workers will work closely with the
customers to design and engineer solutions for their needs which are subsequently fabricated and
- 165 -
integrated in-house and/or by sub-contractors. Commissioning activities are typically conducted on site
by De Raj Group’s of in-house engineers and supervisors.
Direct labour costs comprise mainly wages, overtime and government levies for this team of engineers
as well as skilled workers who carry out the fabrication of these solutions.
Sub-contractors' charges are incurred for fabrication, piping, insulation, painting and blasting, scaffolding,
mechanical and electrical fitting and testing.
Other income
De Raj Group’s other income comprises mainly from the trading of the inventories of equipment from De
Raj Group’s vast list of assets. Gains from the sale of inventories are classified as Other Income.
Administrative expenses
De Raj Group’s major components of administrative expenses comprise the following:
(a) staff cost (including Directors' remuneration);
(b) depreciation expense;
(c) rental expense; and
(d) other expenses.
Other operating expenses / income
De Raj Group’s other operating expenses / income comprise mainly foreign exchange losses / gains
arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the various foreign currencies and US dollars
as well as other miscellaneous expenses which are not significant in amount for the relevant financial
years.
Finance costs
De Raj Group’s finance costs mainly pertain to interest expenses arising from utilisation of bank facilities
such as bank loans as well as project financing for large scale projects. De Raj Group’s average finance
costs is within the range of 4.5% to 5% for the periods under review.
Income tax expense
Our income tax expenses consist of both current tax as well as deferred income tax. Generally, we are
subjected to the Labuan, Malaysia tax environment. In accordance with the applicable statutory tax rates
in Labuan, we enjoy a relatively low prevailing tax rate of 3% or RM20,000 whichever is lower.
12.2 Significant Factors affecting De Raj’s Net Assets, Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
- 166 -
Oil and Gas Division of De Raj Group
One of the main factors affecting De Raj’s Net Assets, Financial Condition and Results of Operations
in view of the oil and gas sector is the respective oil and gas price. Although De Raj Group does not
sell the oil and gas which is produced under utilisation of De Raj Group’s Assets itself, the oil and gas
price nevertheless has a bearing on the revenues and profits of De Raj Group. Firstly, the oil and gas
price is decisive for the leasing rates which De Raj Group is able to charge for the leasing of the Jack-
up Rigs and the Topside Equipment in view of contracts to be entered into. Furthermore, the fluctua-
tion of the oil and gas price also has a bearing on current contracts of De Raj Group, which have al-
ready been entered into. This is because in the light of a potential decrease in the oil and gas price,
also current contracts may have to be adjusted due to business considerations even if De Raj Group
is legally not obliged to do so under the existing contract with the client.
Another main factor affecting De Raj’s Net Assets, Financial Condition and Results of Operations is
the existence and discovery of sufficient oil and gas fields, which are adequate for the deployment of
De Raj Group’s assets. This is because the demand of the deployment of the Jack-up Rigs and Top-
side Equipment of De Raj Group dependent upon the existence and discovery of oil and gas fields in
which they may be deployed.
Moreover, as De Raj Group’s business is capital intensive, its Net Assets, Financial Condition and
Results of Operations is dependent upon the ability to obtain sufficient financing, in particular bank
financing, at adequate financing costs.
Furthermore, due to the fact that the business of De Raj Group is conducted in various different cur-
rencies, De Raj Group’s business is capital intensive and its Net Assets, Financial Condition and Re-
sults of Operations is dependent upon the development of the currency exchange rates. Hence, De
Raj Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk (cf. the risk factor above under 3., “Risk Factors”, 3.1
“Market and Business Risks”, 3.1.13, “De Raj Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from
changes in the exchange rates between the functional currencies of companies in its Group and other
currencies” for details).
German Power Division of De Raj Group
In view of the German power section, the existence and the amount of feed in tariffs for electricity
generated by biomass fuel is decisive for the Net Assets, Financial Condition and Results of Opera-
tions. Although De Raj Group itself does not operate the CHP plants and thus does not take ad-
vantage of the feed in tariffs but only receives fixed leasing rates as lessor of the CHP plans, De Raj
Group nevertheless is indirectly dependent on the feed in tariffs as its customers as lessees of the
- 167 -
CHP plants are dependent on the feed in tariffs. Hence, a decrease or abolishment of feed in tariffs
would restrict the ability of De Raj Group to create further business in the German power section and
may also endanger the fulfillment of existing contracts due to a potential insolvency of the lessees of
the CHP plants.
Furthermore, the German power section is dependent upon the price of the biomass fuel, in particular
palm oil, which is utilised in the CHP plants as the price is decisive for the profitability of the operation
of the CHP plants. Although De Raj Group does not operate the CHP plants itself, it is nevertheless
dependent upon the fluctuation of the biomass fuel price. This is because the fluctuation of the bio-
mass fuel price may render the operations of the CHP plants economically not viable which will in turn
curtail the demand for the entering into leasing agreements.
12.3 Significant Accounting and Valuation Methods
De Raj Group has prepared the financial information contained in this Prospectus in accordance with
EU International Financial Reporting Standards as applied in the EU. Note 2 of the notes to the
combined financial statements includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods
used in preparing these financial statements. Preparation of the financial statements requires the
requested management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of the
assets, liabilities, revenue and expense. The actual results may differ significantly under different
assumptions or conditions. The accounting policies that De Raj Group believes are the most critical to
a full understanding and evaluation of De Raj Group’s reported financial results are set forth below.
Contract sales
For contract sales, including EPCC projects, De Raj Group progressively recognizes revenue and cost
on contracts in proportion to the completion stage of such contracts based on milestones agreed with the
customers, which are reflective of the stage of the contract. Significant assumptions are required in
estimating the total contract costs which affect the contract cost recognised to-date based on the stage
of completion. Allowances are made for losses anticipated on individual contracts when such losses
become known. In making these estimates, De Raj Group relies on its past experience.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses. Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets over their estimated
useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives and depreciation method are
reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on
a prospective basis. The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and
equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amounts of the
asset and is recognised in profit and loss. De Raj Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property,
- 168 -
plant and equipment to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an
impairment loss.
Allowance for doubtful receivables
Allowance for bad and doubtful receivables is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing
analysis of receivables and on De Raj Group’s judgment based on past experience. A considerable
amount of judgment is required in assessing the recoverability of these receivables, including the current
credit worthiness and the past collection history of these customers.
Allowance for inventories
De Raj Group reviews the listing of inventories on a regular basis to identify obsolete or slow moving
inventory. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct
materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in
bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is specifically identified individually.
Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and
costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

The revenue for the financial year (in the following referred to as “FY”) 2015 of USD 17.7 Million. was 1.2
times higher compared to FY2014 (USD 14.6 Million). The main reason for the substantial increase in
revenue was due to the fact that in FY 2015, 12 Months rental income was recognised during the year as
compared to 7.5 Months in FY 2014. The rental income was USD 48,500 per day and a mobilization
advance of USD 3.5 Million was also recognized as income in FY 2014.
Since the maintenance of the asset was the responsibility of the customer, cost of sales included only
annual certification costs and depreciation. Hence, these costs are incurred proportionally to revenue.
Consequently, in line with the increase of the revenue, the costs increased from USD 4.6 Million in 2014
to USD 5.4 Million in FY2015 by 32.4%.
Administrative Cost for the Group of USD 1.9 Million in FY2015 decreased by 19% from USD 2.5 Million
in FY2014. The company incurred costs of re-structuring of bank facilities from UOB Bank Singapore
(“UOB Bank”) to Exim Bank Malaysia due to high borrowing cost charged by the UOB Bank and the fact
that it was originally intended as an interim facility. The administrative costs included the following
a. Costs incurred on the re-structuring of bank facilities of USD 0.657 Million
b. Penalty on the cancellation of existing facilities of USD 0.55 Million
c. Advisory services for the restructuring exercise of USD 0.55 Million.
Profit after taxation (“PAT”) for FY2015, of USD 8.5 Million was 1.4 times higher than PAT for FY2014,
of USD 6.8 Million. The increase in PAT was mainly based on the the increase in revenues.

The revenue for FY2016, in the amount of USD 11.8 Million decreased by 33.3% compared to FY2015
(USD 17.7 Million) due to a decline in crude oil prices around the world in 2016. As a consequence of
this decline, the main client of Hummingbird reduced the daily rental sum to be paid to Hummingbird
from USD 48,500 in FY 2015 to USD 30,300 per day in FY 2016 to maintain its cost of production in
line with the fluctuations of prices in market. Due to this unexpected decision of the main client, the
total revenue dropped from USD 17.7 Million to USD 11.8 Million.
Cost of sales for the Group in the amount of USD 4.4 Million in FY2016 also decreased by 16% com-
pared to FY2015 (USD 5.4 Million). The main direct cost in 2016 related to depreciation which was
maintained at similar unchanged rates compared to 2015. However, in the absence of initial and setup
costs which were captured in FY2015, the FY2016 recorded a lower cost of sales amount compared
to FY2015.
Administrative Cost for the Group in the amount of USD 0.56 Million in FY2016 decreased by 30.8%
compared to FY2015 (USD 1.9 Million). In 2016, the costs were significantly lower due to the absence
of extraordinary circumstances like the restructuring of the bank facilities which took place in 2015.
The cost in 2015 consisted of insurance premiums of USD 0.241 Million and exchange loss incurred
for operations of USD 0.233 Million in addition to routine expenses of annual renewal of operational
licenses and professional fees.
PAT for FY2016, in the amount of USD 4.5 Million was 55.1% lower compared to FY2015 (USD 8.5
Million) as a result of several factors. The main reason was the fact that there was a drop in revenue
due to the reduction in the daily chartered rate charged by Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc to the main
client due to the decline in crude oil prices and the increase on interest costs on loan repayments to
the company’s financing bank, EXIM Bank Malaysia Berhad. Even though Hummingbird Energy (L)
Inc undertook massive cost reduction programs, it was unable to offset the increase in financial costs
because of the higher rates charged by EXIM Bank.

The revenue for the time period from 1 January to 30 June (“HY”) 2017 was EUR 4.8 Mio. while the
HY 2016, ie of EUR 5.6 mil. This was because the equipment rental rates in 2016 were at USD 36,500
until May 2016 which was then subsequently revised downwards to USD 30,300 per day. As for HY
2017, the day charter rates have been maintained throughout at USD 30,300 per day.
The cost of sales for Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc of EUR 2.21 mil in HY2016 was also almost similar
to HY 2016 recorded at EUR 2.23 mil. The main costs were only depreciation and direct costs, ie.
insurance.
- 175 -
The six (6) months of Administrative Cost for the Company was recorded at only EUR 148k in HY
2017 in comparison to EUR 47k for the HY 2016. Most of the annual recurring fees such as audit and
tax fees are incurred in the second half of the year. There will also be no additional bank restructuring
costs in FY 2017.
The six (6) months of Finance Cost for the Company was captured at kEUR 748 in HY 2017 in com-
parison to kEUR 480 for the HY 2016. The Exim Bank interest cost is approximately slightly higher
than USD500k per quarter. However, for FY 2017, the company only incurred one (1) quarter of inter-
est cost due to some technicalities. In general, the finance costs were flat.
The six (6) months of Profit after taxation (“PAT”) for HY2017, of EUR 1.67 mil was lower than the
PAT for HY 2016 of EUR 2,95 mil. The lower PAT for HY 2017 versus the HY 2016 by 44% is solely
due to the Daily charter rates of USD 36,500 for the first five (5) months in HY 2016 which was subse-
quently reduced to USD 30,300 until now. The cost and expenses structures remained the same, re-
sulting in the lower PAT.

For the FY2014, the Fixed Assets as of 31 December at USD 70.4 Million comprised solely of topside
equipment. In the following years, FY2015 and FY2016, the value of these Fixed Assets decreased to
USD 61.6 Million (FY 2015) and USD 57.0 Million (FY 2016) due to depreciation. No further fixed as-
sets were acquired. There was no need for additional fixed assets as the original set of topside
equipment were designed to last ten (10) years with multiple redundancies built in to ensure continu-
ous uninterrupted operations to be maintained.
Current Assets for the FY2014, FY2015 and FY2016 were at USD 23.9 Million, USD 35.6 Million and
USD 18.1 Million respectively. These consisted, mainly, of intercompany loans and an average of two
(2) months of revenue receivables from operations.
Current Assets comprise of Intercompany balances of USD 23 Million in 2014 and 2015, which was
paid down to USD 12.70 Million in 2016. With the inventory being consistent at USD 2.2 Million over
the period of 2014 - 2016, cash balances fluctuated heavily in 2015, due to the requirement of a re-
serve deposit of USD 10 Million by EXIM Bank for the disbursement of the loan facility. This was, later,
drawn down and the cash balance in 2016 was USD 2.8 Million.
Explanation of the Liabilities of Hummingbird
Current Liabilities for the FY2014, FY2015 and FY2016 were at USD 76.0 Million, USD 47.4 Million
and USD 17.4 Million respectively. These also consisted mainly of intercompany loans and, on an

2014 and Exim Bank Malaysia Berhad in 2015 and 2016. The increase from FY2014 to FY2015 was
due to the fact that Hummingbird entered into a new credit facility agreement with Exim Bank Malaysia
- 177 -
Berhad to replace the UOB facility in 2015 for the refinancing of the topside engineering equipment,
which was originally intended as an interim facility.

Comparison of the asset side of the balance sheet of Hummingbird
For the FY2016, the Fixed Assets as of 31 December at EUR 56.3 Mio. comprised solely of Topside
Equipment residing on board the rig net of accumulated depreciation. In the following HY2017; the
Fixed Assets is at EUR 47.7 Mio. There was no need for additional fixed assets as the original set of
Topside Equipment were designed to last ten (10) years with multiple contingencies built in. The carry-
ing value of the asset was about USD 60 Million, which converts to EUR 56.3 million at a conversion
rate of approximately 1.06 USD to a Euro as at December 31 2016. The current carrying value is
about USD 54.4 million, which converts to EUR 47.7 million at a conversion rate of approximately 1.14
USD to a Euro as at June 30, 2016.
Current Assets for the HY2017 and FY2016 were at EUR 6.8 million and EUR 15.1 million respective-
ly. As part of an accounting exercise, undertaken in Q1 2017, all the inter-company balances were
reconciled and written off. This, coupled with the fact that we have received all the outstanding receiv-
ables from Pertamina, as on January resulted in a significant drop in current assets. The current as-
sets for June 2017 reflect the outstanding payments from Pertamina for the period from February
2017, which was the start of the new contract, to June 2017. This was due to the fact that we had to
set up new payment systems for the new contract and that took a considerable amount of time. This
has, since, been resolved.
Explanation of the Liabilities of Hummingbird
The current liabilities represent the outstanding dues to the suppliers providing goods and services to
Hummingbird. Current Liabilities for the HY2017 and FY2016 were at EUR 11.4 mil and EUR 22.2 mil
- 178 -
respectively. As part of an accounting exercise, undertaken in Q1 2017, all the inter-company balanc-
es were reconciled and written off. The current liabilities represent the dues to the suppliers for the
period from February 2017 to June 2017, which were not paid, since we had to set up new payment
systems in accordance with the new Pertamina contract, that was signed in February 2017. This has,
since, been resolved.

The working capital and other capital requirements of Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc have usually been
financed through a combination of cash generated from our operating activities and borrowing from
financial institutions. Our principal uses of cash have been for working capital requirements and capital
expenditure.
With respect to the Cash Position as at FY 2014 and FY 2015, the company has almost no cash as the
major portion of the receipts from the Charter rates had been utilised to pay off the loan repayments due.
Due to the down turn in crude oil prices, the Daily Charter Rates were reduced consequentially. As such,
in FY 2016, the company successfully managed to re-negotiate the repayment schedule to the financing
bank to lower the quarterly payments in line with the lower receipts.

The working capital and other capital requirements of Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd have been
financed through a combination of cash generated from the operating activities without any borrowing
from financial institutions. The principal uses of cash have only been for working capital requirements
without any capital expenditure.
As Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn Bhd was only incorporated from 26 November 2015 and the first
business year covered the period from 26 November 2015 until 31 December 2016, there are no
financial statements as of 31 December 2015 or 31 December 2014 and hence no figures for
comparison.

13. PRO-FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DE RAJ GROUP
13.1 Introduction
This section includes pro-forma consolidated accounts for the De Raj Group, which was formed in
October 2017, for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2016 and the first six months of 2017. This fi-
nancial information is based upon the following:
In October 2017, De Raj has acquired shares in the companies Gryphon Energy (SEA), Hummingbird
Energy (L) Inc, De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd, Condor Energy (L) Inc and Gaea Power GmbH whereby the
now existing De Raj Group was formed. Furthermore, in October 2017, i.e. shortly before the afore-
mentioned acquisition of shares, the company De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd acquired patents and the com-
pany Condor Energy (L) Inc acquired five Jack-up Rigs (the aforementioned transactions in the follow-
ing referred to as “Formation of De Raj Group”). For details of the Formation of De Raj Group confer
Sections 7.4.3, “Formation of De Raj Group” and 8.7.2, “Material Contracts outside the ordinary
course of Buisness”.
On the basis of the Formation of De Raj Group and the respective acquisitions, De Raj has prepared
pro-forma consolidated profit and loss statements for the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December
2016 and for the period from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017 as well as a pro-forma balance sheet as
of 30 June 2017 and supplemented these with pro-forma notes (hereafter collectively referred to as
the “Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information”). The purpose of the Pro-Forma Consolidated
Financial Information is to present the material effects the Formation of De Raj Group would have had
on hypothetical consolidated financial statements of De Raj if the acquisitions which took place in the
context of the Formation of De Raj Group had been a part of the De Raj Group throughout the entire
fiscal year ended 31 December 2016 and the six months period ended 30 June 2017. Thereby, the
reference to De Raj Group in the period from 1 January 2016 until 30 June 2017 has to be understood
as hypothetical as there had been no De Raj Group during that period due to the fact that De Raj
Group only came into existence upon the Formation of De Raj Group.
The pro-forma consolidated profit and loss statements for the period from 1 January 2016 to 31
December 2016 and for the period from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017 were prepared based on the
assumption that the acquisitions took place as of 1 January 2016.
The Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only.
Because of its nature, the Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information describes only a hypothetical
situation and since it contains assumptions and uncertainties, the presentation does not reflect the
actual net assets, financial position and results of operations of the De Raj Group as of any historical
date nor does it project the future development of the net assets, financial position and results of
operations of De Raj Group. The Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information is only meaningful in
conjunction with the historic information of De Raj, Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc and Gryphon Energy
(SEA) Sdn Bhd contained in the section “Financial Information” in this prospectus.
The Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information for De Raj Group as of and for the fiscal year end-
ed 31 December 2016 and the interim period from 1 January 2017 until 30 June 2017 contained in this
- 197 -
section has been extracted or derived from the audited financial statements of the companies Hum-
mingbird (L) Inc., De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd, Gryphon SEA Sdn Bhd, Condor Energy (L) Inc (each ac-
cording to IFRS) and the audited financial statements of De Raj and Gaea Power GmbH (each ac-
cording to HGB) as of 31 December 2017 and the respective internal accounting records or manage-
ment reporting systems of the aforementioned companies, unless stated otherwise. The IFRS applied
to the financial statements of the Malaysian companies Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc, Gryphon Energy
(SEA) Sdn Bhd, De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd, and Condor Energy (L) Inc are in accordance with the IFRS
as adopted by the European Union.
The Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information was prepared in accordance with the rules of the
Institute of Public Auditors in Germany (Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW)) for preparing pro-forma
financial information (IDW Accounting Practice Statement: Preparation of Pro-Forma Financial Infor-
mation (IDWAcPS AAB 1.004) (IDW Rechnungslegungshinweis: Erstellung von Pro-Forma-
Finanzinformationen (IDW RH HFA 1.004)) and in accordance with the IFRS as adopted by the Euro-
pean Union.

“De Raj Group AG, Cologne
Pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 June 2017 and
Pro-forma consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 December 2016

General information
The following pro forma financial information, compiled in accordance with IDW Accounting Practice
Statement: Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information (IDW AcPS AAB 1.004) (IDW Rechnungs-
legungshinweis: Erstellung von Pro forma-Finanzinformationen (IDW RH HFA 1.004)), serves illustra-
tive purposes only. By its nature, it describes a purely hypothetical situation, and as such does not
reflect the current situation of De Raj Group AG or its results. As the information is based on assump-
tions and is subject to uncertainties, it is not representative of how the consolidated business would
have performed economically if the acquisitions descripted under section C. II. had already been com-
pleted before 1 July 2017. Neither is it any indication of how the De Raj Group AG group’s business, financial position and results of operations may develop following the completion of the acquisitions.
This document presents the Pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 June 2017
and pro-forma consolidated income statement for the financial year ended 31 December 2016 and for
the period from 1 January to 30 June 2017 of De Raj Group AG, hereinafter the “Company” or the “Issuer” and, together with the entities as result of the contribution of the shares into the Issuer (the

C. Notes of Pro-forma Consolidated Statement of financial position as of 30 June 2017
and Pro-forma Consolidated Income Statement for the financial year ended
31 December 2016 and for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2017
Introduction
This document presents the Pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 June 2017
and pro-forma consolidated income statement for the financial year ended 31 December 2016 and for
the period from 1 January to 30 June 2017 of De Raj Group AG, hereinafter the “Company” or the “Issuer” and, together with the entities as result of the contribution of the shares into the Issuer (the
“Group”), and the related explanatory notes (the “Pro-Forma Financial Information”).
The Pro-forma financial information was prepared for inclusion in the securities’ prospectus relating to
the listing of the share capital of the De Raj Group AG in the Regulated Market of the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange. In particular, the Pro-forma financial information has been prepared to represent the main
effects on the Company’s statement of financial position as of 30 June 2017 and income statement for
the financial year ended 31 December 2016 for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2017 of:
- the transfer of all shares of Gaea Power GmbH (hereafter “Gaea”) - the transfer of all shares of Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn. Bhd. (hereafter “Gryphon”) - the transfer of all shares of Condor Energy (L) Inc. (hereafter “Condor”) - the transfer of all shares of Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc. (hereafter “Hummingbird”) - the transfer of all shares of De Raj Energy Sdn. Bhd. (hereafter “De Raj Energy”)
As a result of this transactions there is a statuary obligation to prepare Group financial statements.
The main impacts of consolidation and application of IFRS (as adopted by the European Union) (joint-
ly, the “Transactions”) are described in detail in section C. II. below. The Pro-Forma Financial Infor-
mation has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies and applicable legislation fol-
lowed by the Company, with the purpose of presenting the main effects of the Transactions on the
Group’s financial position as if it occurred on 30 June 2017 and the economic effects as if the Trans-
actions occurred on 1 January 2016. However, the details contained in the Pro-Forma Financial Infor-
mation represent a simulation prepared solely to illustrate possible effects from the Transactions. In
particular, given that the Pro-Forma Financial Information has been prepared to retrospectively reflect
the effects of subsequent transactions and, despite complying with generally accepted regulations and
using reasonable assumptions, there are limits associated with the real nature of the Pro-Forma Fi-
nancial Information.
Therefore, had the Transactions actually occurred on the dates mentioned above, the effects would
not necessarily have been the same as those presented in the Pro-Forma Financial Information.
Moreover, given the different purpose of the pro-forma data compared to the data in the historical fi-
nancial statements and the different methods of calculating the effects of the Transactions on the pro-
forma consolidated financial position and the pro-forma consolidated income statement, these docu-
ments should be read and interpreted without attempting to reconcile them. Finally, the Pro-Forma
Financial Information is not in any way intended to be a forecast of the Group’s future results and
- 205 -
therefore should not be used for this purpose. The Pro-Forma Financial Information should be read in
conjunction with the historical finance information.
I. Basis of preparation
1. Pro-forma adjustments
As mentioned above, the Pro-Forma Financial Information has been prepared in order to represent the
main effects of the following Transactions on the Company’s statement of financial position as of 30 June 2017 and income statement for the year ended 31 December 2016 for the period from
1 January to 30 June 2017.
1.1 Acquisition of Hummingbird
On 20 October 2017 the De Raj Group AG acquired from Gryphon Energy Corporation PTE. LTD,
Singapore, all shares in Hummingbird in the context of a capital increase against contribution in kind
for an issuance of a total of 34,950,000 shares with a notional nominal value of EUR 1.00 per share,
i.e. for a total notional nominal value of 34,950,000 EUR. The completion of this capital increase was
entered in De Raj Group AG´s commercial register at the district court of Cologne on 20 October
2017.
1.2 Other acquisitions
The following shares have been contributed to the capital reserves of the De Raj Group AG within the
meaning of Section 272 Para. 2. No. 4 HGB (German Commercial Code) on the basis of contribution
agreements entered into by the Company and its shareholder Alexander Arjun de Raj and fulfillment of
the contribution agreements by the shareholders of the following companies on behalf of Alexander
Arjun de Raj:
- all shares of Gaea Power GmbH
- all shares of Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn. Bhd.
- all shares of Condor Energy (L) Inc.
- all shares of De Raj Energy Sdn. Bhd.
As result of the above and taking also in consideration the shareholder’s agreement in place, from an accounting stand-point, the Companies controlled by the De Raj Group AG are included in the consol-
idated financial statements as subsidiaries. The inclusion of the subsidiaries in the consolidated finan-
cial statements begins at the point in time at which control is first possible. For the purposes of the
Pro-Forma financial statements the assumption is used, that the control starts on 1 January 2016 or, if
a company is founded later, at the time of foundation.
1.3 Capital increase Gaea
- 206 -
Alexander Arjun de Raj had granted a loan to Gaea Power GmbH in the amount of 3.810 kEUR. Alex-
ander Arjun de Raj assigned the claim to repayment of the loan to De Raj Group AG on the basis of a
voluntary contribution into the capital reserves of De Raj Group AG. Subsequently, De Raj Group AG
decided to waive this shareholder loan in the amount of 3.810 kEUR. For the Pro-Forma financial
statements this conversion is recognized as if the balance sheet equity of the company was higher
since the foundation of the company.
1.4 Capital increase Condor
With shareholder resolution of October 2017, the shareholder of Condor Energy (L) Inc. decided to
convert shareholder liabilities of 89.000 kUSD into equity. Since this liability accrued at 30 June 2017
this conversion is recognized as if the equity of the company was higher at 30 June 2017.
1.5 Capital increase De Raj Energy With shareholder resolution of October 2017, the shareholder of De Raj Energy Sdn. Bhd. decided to convert shareholder liabilities of 98.000 kRM into equity. Since this liability accrued at 30 June 2017 this conversion is recognized as if the equity of the company was higher at 30 June 2017.
2. IFRS adjustments
As mentioned above, the historical financial statement of Gaea has been prepared in accordance with
German GAAP (HGB (German Commercial Code)) as is the case regarding the historical financial
statement of De Raj Group AG. The IFRS (as adopted by the European Union) adjustments identified
for the purpose of the Pro-Forma Financial Information are based on a preliminary analysis which was
not completed at the Date of the Securities’ Prospectus. Further IFRS (as adopted by the European
Union) adjustments may arise after the analysis will be completed. Therefore, the final determination
of IFRS (as adopted by the European Union) adjustments may differ from the amounts shown in this
document.
3. IFRS adjustments not reflected in Pro-forma financial information Certain IFRS (as adopted by the European Union) adjustments have been identified but not reflected in the Pro-forma financial information as the relevant information are not available. This is a brief de-scription of such IFRS (as adopted by the European Union) adjustments identified but not recognized: With regards to the acquisition of Gaea, the measurement at fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities is in progress and the relative information are not available at the date of the Securities’ Pro-spectus. This approach is consistent with the provisions of paragraph 45 of IFRS 3 – Business Com-binations, which governs how to account for business combinations. More specifically, the abovemen-tioned accounting principle call for a “measurement period” during which an entity must carry out an initial accounting of the acquisition and complete the measurement subsequently within up to 12 months from the date of acquisition. During the “measurement period”, the difference between the (i) fair value of the consideration transferred and (ii) fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, is allocated to goodwill. Therefore, the final determination of the value of the assets and liabilities ac-quired by De Raj Group may differ from the amounts shown in this document. Any changes will be effective retrospectively so as to reflect any information learned about facts and circumstances on the date of acquisition that would have had an impact on the measurement of the amounts recognized at that time.

4. Pro-Forma assumptions The following paragraph presents the pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 June 2017 and the pro-forma consolidated income statement for the financial year ended 31 December 2016 and for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2017 of the Group, with the related explanatory notes.
II. Explanatory notes to the Pro-Forma Financial Information The following paragraph presents the Pro-Forma Consolidated Statement of financial position as of 30 June 2017 and the Pro-Forma Consolidated Income Statement for the year ended 31 December 2016 and for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2017 of the Group, with the related explanatory notes.
1. Overall considerations De Raj Group AG with registered office at c/o Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek, Magnusstr. 13, 50672 Co-logne is the parent company of the companies of the De Raj Group. The company is entered in the Commercial Register of Local Court (HRB 92007). De Raj Group AG operates in the field of manage-ment of its own assets, the acquisition, management and sale of investments in the business seg-ments biomass heating plants, oil and gas, in particular oil exploration and production units and natu-ral-gas powerplants. The consolidated financial statements of the company include the company and its subsidiaries. In implementing Art. 4 of Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002 according to section 315a HGB (German Commercial Code), De Raj Group AG has prepared the consolidated financial statements in conformi-ty with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as to be applied in the EU, taking into account the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). All pronouncements by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), the application of which is mandatory, were considered. De Raj Group AG prepared its IFRS (as adopted by the European Union) consolidated Pro-Forma financial statements for the first time as of 31 December 2016. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in euros. The information in the components of the consolidated financial statements and the information in the notes are reported in thousands of euros (kEUR) unless otherwise stated.
2. Reversed acquisition Since the former shareholder of Hummingbird receive 99,75 % of the share capital of the De Raj Group AG and the relative size of Hummingbird in terms of revenue or equity is significantly higher than the other combining company or entities, Hummingbird is qualified as the accounting acquirer. The De Raj Group AG is qualified as a shell company. Therefore under IFRS 3, this transaction will typically be regarded as a reverse acquisition and Hummingbird is considered the accounting acquirer (and the Company the accounting acquiree) irrespective of the legal form of the transaction. However, the transaction will not constitute a ‘Business Combination’ as defined under IFRS 3 as the Company (the acquiree under IFRS 3) is not considered to be a ‘business’. For the purposes of the Pro-Forma Financial Statement there is the assumption that before the transactions described under Section C.II. the book value of the assets and the liabilities of De Raj Group AG equals the fair value. As a conse-quence of this, there is no difference between the deemed acquisitions costs and the total fair value of the De Raj Group AG.
- 208 -
3. Consolidation principles Based on the assumptions of this Pro-Forma financial statements companies controlled by the De Raj Group AG are included in the consolidated financial statements as subsidiaries. The De Raj Group AG controls a company if it is subject to fluctuating returns from its involvement in the company or has rights to and is capable of influencing such returns through its control over the company. The inclusion of the subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements begins at the point in time at which control is first possible. It ends when such control is no longer possible. Business combinations are accounted by applying the acquisition method when the De Raj Group AG has gained control. At the time of acquisition, capital is consolidated by offsetting the carrying values of the interests against the revalued pro-rata equity of the subsidiaries. Incidental acquisition cost is not to be included in the carrying value of the interest but as expense in the income statement. The identifiable assets and liabilities acquired (net assets) of the subsidiaries are recognised at their fair values. All hidden reserves and charges of the acquired company are disclosed within the scope of the revaluation. Any remaining positive difference after disclosure of hidden reserves and charges is capitalised in the balance sheet as goodwill. In principle, an indefinite useful life of goodwill is as-sumed here. Any goodwill arising is tested for impairment annually. The financial statements of the domestic subsidiaries included in the consolidation of De Raj Group AG are prepared according to accounting and valuation methods throughout the group. They are pre-pared as of the balance sheet date of the consolidated financial statement. Individual items are combined in the consolidated balance sheet in the interests of clarity. These items are explained in the notes. IAS 1 differentiates between current and non-current debts. The liabilities and reserves which are due within one year are in principle specified here as current debts.
4. Consolidated companies The consolidated companies comprise five foreign and one domestic subsidiaries. The balance sheet date applies to all subsidiaries included in the consolidation for preparation of the financial statements. Based on the assumptions of this Pro-Forma Financial Statements the table below shows the respec-tive percentage in the equity of the companies as of 31 December 2016 and 30 June 2017: Gaea Power GmbH 100,0% Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn. Bhd. 100,0% Condor Energy (L) Inc. 100,0% Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc. 100,0% De Raj Energy Sdn. Bhd 100,0% The Group companies included in the consolidated financial statements are deemed to be foreign entities in accordance with IAS 21. Accordingly, and in line with the functional currency method and the income statements of subsidiaries reporting in foreign currencies are translated at the average rates for the year. Balance sheet items are translated at the prevailing exchange rates as at the bal-ance sheet date of each year. Currency-related differences in equity are recognised in the translation reserve that forms a separate item under equity. The Malaysian entity Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc. used the United States Dollar (USD) as the functional currency for presentation the financial state-ment, because the USD is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.
- 209 -
Foreign currency transactions are translated into euros at the exchange rates prevailing on the trans-action dates. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the transla-tion of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement. Non-monetary assets that are measured at cost are translated at the euro exchange rate at the time of their acquisition; non-monetary assets that are measured at fair value are translated at the current euro exchange rate. Forward currency transactions are measured using the prevailing forward rates for their respective maturities.
5. Accounting and valuation methods The Pro-Forma financial statement has been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) endorsed by the European Union, as well as the Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) and Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) of the Inter-national Accounting Standards Board (IASB), London, in effect at the closing date.
IV. Explanatory notes to the income statement and the balance sheet
1. Revenues Revenue represents rental income earned form charter of production separator and fuel gas equip-ment and block heater. Rental income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the agreement en-tered into.
2. Operating expenses Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss on the date of performance or the date on which they are incurred.
3. Plant and equipment All items of plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. Cost includes expenditure that are di-rectly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Subsequent to initial recognition, all plant and equip-ment, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Subsequent costs are included in the assets’ carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that the future economic benefits associ-ated with the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of parts that are replaced is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Depreciation on plant and equipment is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line method to write off the depreciable amount of the assets over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation of an asset does not cease when the asset becomes idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully depreciated. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are: Offshore drilling and production equipment 6,67% Production operator and fuel gas equipment 6,67% Blockheater 10,00%
- 210 -
The depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the amounts, method and periods of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of the plant and equipment. Any changes are accounted for as change in estimate. When significant parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are account-ed for as separate items of plant and equipment. An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of the asset is recognised in profit or loss. The carrying values of assets, other than those to which IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets does not ap-ply, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period for impairment when an annual impairment as-sessment is compulsory or there is an indication that the assets might be impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recover-able amount and an impairment loss shall be recognised. The recoverable amount of the assets is the higher of the assets' fair value less costs to sell and their value-in-use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flow using a pre-tax discount rate. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. When there is a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as a reversal of the previous impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recog-nised in profit or loss immediately.
4. Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets and liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognise in the statement of financial position when the Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are classified as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments in ac-cordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and their definitions in IAS 32. Interest, dividends and gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as liability, are reported as expenses or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are recog-nised directly in equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and in-tends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. A financial instrument is recognised initially at its fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attribut-able to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument (other than a financial instrument at fair val-ue through profit or loss) are added to/deducted from the fair value on initial recognition, as appropri-ate. Transaction costs on the financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
- 211 -
Financial instruments recognised in the statement of financial position are disclosed in the individual policy statement associated with each item. (a) Financial Assets On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through prof-it or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables financial assets, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. (i) Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category. (ii) Held-to-maturity Investments As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category. (iii) Loans and Receivables Financial Assets Trade receivables and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables financial assets. Loans and receivables financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impair-ment loss. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Loans and receivables financial assets are classified as current assets, except for those having set-tlement dates later than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. (iv) Available-for-sale Financial Assets As at the end of reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category. (b) Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimat-ed future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an un-conditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. (c) Equity Instruments Equity instruments classified as equity are measured at cost and are not remeasured subsequently. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in eq-
- 212 -
uity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabili-ties when approved for appropriation. (d) Derecognition A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without retain-ing control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recog-nised in equity is recognised in profit or loss. A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
5. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is comprises the purchase price and incidentals incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The Inventories consist of spare parts of Hummingbird with the amount of 1.928 kEUR.
6. Liabilities Liabilities are reported at their repayment amount. Long-term liabilities are reported at their present value.
7. Income Taxes Current tax assets and liabilities are expected amount of income tax recoverable or payable to the taxation authorities. They are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or sub-stantively enacted at the end of the reporting period according to current legislation in the respective country and are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recog-nised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity). Deferred tax are recognised using the liability method for all temporary differences other than those that arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit. Deferred taxes are determined on the basis of the tax rates which apply resp. are anticipated accord-ing to current legislation in the respective countries at the time of realisation. A tax rate of 32,75 % was applied to calculate domestic deferred taxes. In conformity with the regulations of IAS 12 “Income Taxes”, deferred tax assets resp. liabilities are not discounted.
- 213 -
Changes in other comprehensive income, which are not recognised in profit or loss, are reported in accumulated other equity unless they are based on capital transactions with shareholders (e.g. capital increases or distributions).
8. Equity, reserves and dividend payments Share capital represents the nominal (par) value of shares that have been issued. Share premium includes any premiums received on issue of share capital. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax benefits. Other components of equity include translation reserve comprises foreign currency translation differ-ences arising from the translation of financial statements of the Group’s foreign entities into Euro (see note C. III. 5) and retained earnings includes all current and prior period retained profits.
9. Accruals Other accruals are set up if there is a legal or factual obligation towards third parties due to a past event, the claim is likely and the anticipated amount of the required accrual can be reliably estimated. Accrued liabilities are discounted if the effect associated therewith is material. Effects of discounting accrued liabilities over time are reported in interest expense. The discount rate corresponds to a pre-tax rate that reflects current market expectations. All standards valid on the balance sheet date and all standards which are mandatory to apply accord-ing to adoption by the EU Commission by the balance sheet date, are applied. The interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) are also complied with.
V. Explanatory notes to the pro-forma adjustments
1. Equipment All depreciation are included within depreciation and amortisation of non-financial assets. The equip-ment of the group company Hummingbird has been pledged to financial institutions as security for the companies borrowings.
2. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of cash and bank balances of Hummingbird. The amount of 174 kEUR is restricted. The amount is related to banking facilities granted to the Company, where the funds are only available upon approval by the bank for certain expenditure.
3. Trade Payables The carrying values of trade payables are considered to be a reasonable approximation of fair value. The normal trade credit term granted to the Company rages from 30 to 60 days.
4. Tax Expenses The major components of tax expense and the reconciliation of the expected tax expense based on the domestic effective tax rate of Illustrative Corporation at 32:75 % and the reported tax expense in profit or loss are as follows:
- 214 -
The taxation for Hummingbird is based on the Labuan tax law, which gives exemption from taxes for income from operational lease agreements. Hummingbird uses this exemption and pays the minimum required tax at a flat rate of 20.000 RM (Malaysian Ringgit) per annum, as per Labuan regulations.
5. Non-Current Liabilities Long-term liabilities to banks comprise a bank loan with Export-Import Bank Of Malaysia Berhad, Kua-la Lumpur/Malaysia of 37.813 kEUR. The current liability is 5.900 kEUR. The annuity loan has a term until February 2020 and was obtained at a floating interest rate of COF (Cost of Funds Index) + 2% p.a. It is repaid on a quarterly basis, for the first time as of February 2016. The loan is secured by: - First legal charge over Mobile Offshore Production Unit (“MOPU”) called BOSS 1 inclusive
the topside modules, and the jack up rig called BOSS 7 and BOSS 8; - Second legal charge which is limited to USD 10 million over a jack up rig called BOSS 6; - Personal guarantee by a director of the Company; and - Corporate guarantee by the holding company and a related party.
6. Equity
(a) Share capital The share capital of De Raj Group AG consists only of fully paid ordinary shares with a nominal par value of 1.00 EUR per share. All shares are equally eligible to receive dividends and the repayment of capital and represent one vote at shareholders’ meetings of De Raj Group AG. The company was founded with descripted equity of 50.000 EUR. With registration of a capital increase in the commer-cial register on 20 October 2017 the equity increased to 35.000.000 EUR by contribution the shares of Hummingbird in the company.

(c) Reverse Acquisition Reserve For the purposes of the Pro-Forma Financial Statement there is the assumption that the contribution of the shares of Hummingbird into De Raj Group AG is qualified as a reverse acquisition in accordance with IFRS 3. A reverse acquisition means that the legal acquire, the De Raj Group AG, becomes the acquired company. In accounting terms Hummingbird is thereby considered the acquiree while De Raj Group AG is considered to be the acquired company. The purchase price is determined on the basis of the value of the new capital issued by De Raj Group AG with the amount of 35.000 kEUR. Since De Raj Group AG has been issued shares with the fair value of 35.000 kEUR in access of the net assets received of the book value of equity of Hummingbird with 14.160 kEUR, IFRS 2 dictates the difference is recognized in comprehensive loss as a reverse transaction cost in 2016. For the balance sheet 30 June 2017 the amount is transferred in a separated position. (d) Reserve from currency translation There is a translation reserve from the exchange differences on translating foreign operations of -997 kEUR. For further details see the explanations under section C. III. 5.”
13.3 Auditor’s Report to the Pro-forma consolidated financial information
In the following, the Auditor’s Report of Crowe Kleeberg Audit GmbH, Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, to the the Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information is reproduced verbatim:
“Auditor´s Report
To: De Raj Group AG
We have audited whether the pro forma financial information as of 30. June 2017 of De Raj Group
AG, Cologne, has been properly compiled on the basis stated in the pro forma notes and wheterthis
basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the company. The pro forma financial information
comprises a pro forma income statement for the period from 1. January 2016 to 31. December 2016,
a pro forma income statement for the period from 1. January 2017 to 30. June 2017, a pro forma
balance sheet as of 30. June 2017 as well as pro forma notes.
The purpose of the pro forma financial information is to present the material effects the transactions
described in the pro forma notes would have had on the historical financial consolidated statements if
the group had existed in the structure created by the transactions throughout the entire reporting period of the pro forma income statements and the pro forma balance sheet. As pro forma financial
information reflects a hypothetical situation it is not entirely consistent with the presentation that
- 216 -
would have resulted had the relevant events actually occurred at the beginning of the reporting period of the pro forma income statements and the pro forma balance sheet. Therefore, we do not express
an opinion on the true impact of the transactions described in the pro forma notes. The compilation of
the pro forma financial information is the responsibility of the company´s management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion, based on our audit, whether the pro forma financial infor-
mation has been properly compiled on the basis stated in the pro forma notes and whether this basis
is consistent with accounting policies of the company. This includes as well the evaluating of the over-all presentation of the pro forma financial information. The subject matter of this engagement does
neither include an audit of the basic figures including their adjustment to the accounting policies of
the company, nor of the pro forma assumptions stated in the pro forma notes.
We have planned and performed our audit in accordance with the IDW Auditing Practice Statement:
Audit of Pro Forma Financial Information (IDW AuPS 9.960.1), promulgated by the Institut der
Wirtschaftsprüfer in Deutschland e.V. (IDW), in such a way, that material errors in the compilation of the pro forma financial information on the basis stated in the pro forma notes and in the compilation
of this basis consistent with the accounting policies of the company are detected with reasonable as-
surance.
In our opinion, the pro forma financial information has bee properly compiled on the basis stated in
the pro forma notes. This basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the company.

14. EXPLANATORY REMARKS ON THE PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DE
RAJ GROUP
This section includes an explanation and a comparison of the Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial In-formation of De Raj Group, which was set up in view of the formation of De Raj Group (cf. Section 13. “Pro-forma Consolidated financial information of De Raj Group”.)
This financial information is based upon the following:
In October 2017, De Raj has acquired shares in the companies Gryphon Energy (SEA), Hummingbird
Energy (L) Inc, De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd, Condor Energy (L) Inc and Gaea Power GmbH whereby the
now existing De Raj Group was formed. Furthermore, in October 2017, i.e. shortly before the afore-
mentioned acquisition of shares, the company De Raj Energy Sdn Bhd acquired patents and the com-
pany Condor Energy (L) Inc acquired five Jack-up Rigs (the aforementioned transactions in the follow-
ing referred to as “Formation of De Raj Group”).
On the basis of the Formation of De Raj Group and the respective acquisitions, De Raj has prepared
pro-forma consolidated profit and loss statements for the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December
2016 and for the period from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017 as well as a pro-forma balance sheet as
of 30 June 2017 and supplemented these with pro-forma notes (hereafter collectively referred to as
the “Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information”). The purpose of the Pro-Forma Consolidated
Financial Information is to present the material effects the Formation of De Raj Group would have had
on hypothetical consolidated financial statements of De Raj if the acquisitions which took place in the
context of the Formation of De Raj Group had been a part of the De Raj Group throughout the entire
fiscal year ended 31 December 2016 and the six months period ended 30 June 2017. Thereby, the
reference to De Raj Group in the period from 1 January 2016 until 30 June 2017 has to be understood
as hypothetical as there had been no De Raj Group during that period due to the fact that De Raj
Group only came into existence upon the Formation of De Raj Group.
The pro-forma consolidated profit and loss statements for the period from 1 January 2016 to 31
December 2016 and for the period from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017 were prepared based on the
assumption that the acquisitions took place as of 1 January 2016.
The Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only.
Because of its nature, the Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information describes only a hypothetical
situation and since it contains assumptions and uncertainties, the presentation does not reflect the
actual net assets, financial position and results of operations of the De Raj Group as of any historical
date nor does it project the future development of the net assets, financial position and results of
operations of De Raj Group. The Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information is only meaningful in
conjunction with the historic information of De Raj, Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc and Gryphon Energy
(SEA) Sdn Bhd contained in the section “Financial Information” in this prospectus.
The Pro-Forma Consolidated Financial Information was prepared in accordance with the rules of the
Institute of Public Auditors in Germany (Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW)) for preparing pro-forma
financial information (IDW Accounting Practice Statement: Preparation of Pro-Forma Financial
Information (IDWAcPS AAB 1.004) (IDW Rechnungslegungshinweis: Erstellung von Pro-Forma-

European Union.

Explanations and comparison of the profit situation of De Raj Group according to the Pro-
forma consolidated financial information for the first six months of the business year 2017 and
the previous business year 2016
Rental Income
The Pro-forma Profit and Loss Statements shows revenues of the De Raj Group AG of kEUR 7.844
for the first half year of 2017. Gryphon Energy (SEA) recorded a revenue of kEUR 9.511. The revenue
was solely accrued from the contract with Pertamina signed on 20 February 2017. The revenue for
Hummingbird for the time period from 1 January to 30 June 2017 was kEUR 5.066. Since there is
intercompany transaction between these two companies after consolidation there are revenues of
kEUR 7.844.
There were not any revenues for the period ending 31 December 2016 for Gryphon Energy (SEA). In
2016 Hummingbird shows revenues of kEUR 10.738 (before consolidation). Compared to the full year
2016 the revenues of Hummingbird declined in 2017 due to lower crude oil prices.
Gaea Power GmbH start their business in 2016, so revenues in 2016 of kEUR 1.413 are lower on a
six month ratio than the revenues of kEUR 919 for the first half year in 2017.
On an annualized basis, the revenues of the consolidated De Raj Group of kEUR 7.844 for HY 2017
would be higher than FY 2016 of kEUR 12.151. This is mainly due to the increase of Daily Chartered
Rates from USD 36,027 to USD 52,000 per day since 20 February 2017. The other contributor to the
increase in revenues by approximately kEUR 400 is Gaea Power which benefitted from better utiliza-
tion of generator uptime.
Operating Expenses
The operating expenses for Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc of kEUR 4.016 in 2016 were also almost
similar to HY 2017 recorded at kEUR 2.350 on a pro-rata temporizes base. The main costs were only
depreciation and direct costs, i.e. insurance.
For Gryphon Energy (SEA) there was no cost of sales for period ending 31 December 2016 while for
the six month period ending 30 June 2017, Gryphon Energy (SEA) recorded costs of sales of
kEUR 8.576. These costs accrue from the rental of the Boss 1 rig and the rental of the topside equip-
ment from Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc. and are consolidated as intercompany transaction.
For Gaea Power GmbH the cost of sales of kEUR 1.443 for 2016 and kEUR 816 for the first half year
of 2017 include mainly the depreciation of the combined heat and power plants.
Net rental income
The Gross Profit of kEUR 3.754 for first six month 2017 is higher on a pro-rata temporis base com-
pared to kEUR 6.692 for 2016.
- 220 -
General administrative expenses
There are kEUR 955 administrations expenses recorded for the six months-period ending 30 June
2017 and kEUR 582 for 2016. In 2017 there are kEUR 156 in Hummingbird, kEUR 689 in Gryphon
Ernergy (SEA) and kEUR 107 in Gaea Energy GmbH. In 2016 the administration expenses was rec-
orded at kEUR 510 for Hummingbird, kEUR 38 for Gaea Energy GmbH and kEUR 27 for Gryphon
Ernergy (SEA).
With respect to the General administrative expenses on an annualized basis HY 2017 is significantly
higher in comparison to the FY 2016 due to various listing preparation exercises and increase in mar-
keting and tendering costs when it came to several new projects in pursuit. These additional costs
have been very fruitful as De Raj Group has managed to capture several material projects earmarked
to be launched in FY 2018.
In addition, the general administrative expenses contain the income tax expenses. With kEUR 1.679
most of the profit before taxation was achieved by Hummingbird. The taxation for Hummingbird is
based on the Labuan tax law, which gives exemption from taxes for income from operational lease
agreements. Hummingbird uses this exemption and pays the minimum required tax at a flat rate of
RM 20.000 (Malaysian Ringgit) per annum, as per Labuan regulations. The income tax recognized in
2016 and for the six-month-period in 2017 is not material.
Other operating income
For 2016 the other operating income of the De Raj Group of kEUR 233 accounted for Hummingbird
with kEUR 206.
The other income is resulting from foreign currency transactions that are translated into EURO at the
exchange rates prevailing on the transaction date, i.e. gains and losses resulting from the settlement
of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies.
Other operating expenses
There are kEUR 91 other operating expenses for the first half year 2017 (thereof KEUR 91 of Hum-
ingbird) and kEUR 114 for the total year 2016.
Interest expenses
The finance cost for the De Raj Group was captured at kEUR 790 in the first half year 2017 in compar-
ison to kEUR 2.087 for 2016. The finance costs in 2017 compared on a pro-rata-temporis base with
2016 are lower as a result of accurals during the period 2017. The Exim Bank interest cost is approxi-
mately slightly higher than kUSD 500 per quarter.
- 221 -
As there is no interest income, the financial result consists only of the interest expenses.
Net profits
Even though De Raj Group has higher Daily Chartered rates, the group did not manage to display
better annualized Profit after Taxes (PAT) as the De Raj Group followed an active program of busi-
ness development and diversification and invested significant portion of their enhanced revenue into

Equity and Liabilities
Equity
Share Capital
- 224 -
After the foundation of the De Raj Group AG as a shelf company with no operational business the
share capital of kEUR 50 increased by the contribution of shares in Hummingbird Energy (L) Inc to the
Company on the basis of a contribution agreement which was entered into in the context of an in-
crease of the nominal share capital of the Company against contribution in kind. In this capital in-
crease the nominal share capital was increased from then kEUR 50 to kEUR 35.000 by issuing
34.950.000 new bearer shares (Stückaktien), each representing a notional value of EUR 1,00. The
capital increase was resolved upon by the shareholders’ meeting of the Company on 11 October 2017
and became effective with its registration in the commercial register on 20 October 2017. The capital
increase was considered as a proforma adjustment.
Capital Reserve
The Capital Reserve of kEUR 102.245 included pro-forma transaction of establishing the De Raj
Group. The pro-forma adjustments are:
Transaction Value (kEUR)
Debt to Equity Swap Condor 77.988

Reverse acquisition reserve
For the purposes of the pro-forma financial statement there is the assumption that the contribution of
the shares of Hummingbird into De Raj Group AG is qualified as a reverse acquisition in accordance
with IFRS 3. A reverse acquisition means that the legal acquire, the De Raj Group AG, becomes the
acquired company. In accounting terms Hummingbird is thereby considered the acquiree while De Raj
Group AG is considered to be the acquired company. The purchase price is determined on the basis
of the value of the new capital issued by De Raj Group AG with the amount of kEUR 35.000. Since De
Raj Group AG has been issued shares with the fair value of kEUR 35.000 in access of the net assets
received of the book value of equity of Hummingbird with kEUR 14.160, IFRS 2 dictates the difference
is recognized in comprehensive loss as a reverse transaction cost in 2016. For the balance sheet as
of 30 June 2017 the amount is transferred in a separated position.
- 225 -
Reserve from currency translation
The Group companies included in the consolidated financial statements are deemed to be foreign
entities in accordance with IAS 21. Accordingly and in line with the functional currency method the
income statements of subsidiaries reporting in foreign currencies are translated at the average rates
for the year. Balance sheet items are translated at the prevailing exchange rates as at the balance
sheet date of each year. Currency-related differences in equity are recognised in the translation re-
serve that forms a separate item under equity. There is a translation reserve from the exchange differ-
ences on translating foreign operations of kEUR -964.

uardies based on the proforma assumption since 1 January 2016, or if the company was founded

gering the continued existence of the Company may be identified early. Furthermore, the Management
Board must report regularly, promptly and in detail to the Supervisory Board about the intended busi-
ness policies and fundamental issues concerning corporate planning, profitability of the Company, the
course of business as well as transactions which may be of significant importance for the profitability
or liquidity of the Company. At the same time, the Management Board shall illustrate any deviations of
the course of business from the established plans and targets, together with the reasons for the de-
velopments. Furthermore, as regards all matters of particular significance to the Company, each
member of the Management Board who becomes aware of such matters must immediately report
these matters to the chairman of the Supervisory Board or to all members of the Supervisory Board. In
addition, the Supervisory Board may at any time require the Management Board to submit a report on

their influence on the Company and causing a member of the Management Board or Supervisory
Board to take an action detrimental to the Company. Shareholders having a controlling influence may

damages to be heard by the regional court where the Company has its registered office. The Compa-
ny may only waive or settle a claim for damages against board members if at least three years have
elapsed since the vesting of the claim, so long as the shareholders approve the waiver or settlement in

such resolution in the minutes of the meeting.

raja Energy as owner and lessor of MOPU BOSS 1. Mr Nagendran C Nadarajah indirectly
holds a substantial stake of the shares in PT Nuriraja Energy. Although De Raj Group is of
the opnion that the lease rates charged by PT Nuriraja Energy to De Raj Group are at cur-
rent prevailing market prices, there is a risk that future conflicts of interest may arise in the
contractual relationship, e.g. in view of an increase of the lease rates or in view of any obli-
gations to be fulfilled by PT Nuriraja as lessor and/or De Raj Group as lessee. Further, any
potential claims for damages De Raj Group may have against PT Nuriraja bercause of
breach of the contract may prove not to be sufficient to cover the damages incurred or may
practically not be realised due to an insolvency of PT Nuriraja.
- 235 -
- Furthermore, the company Maya Terang Sdn Bhd, which is ultimately held by Mr Nagen-
dran C Nadarajah and his wife Ms Renata Anita de Raj, owns the premises which serve as
office of De Raj Group in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
For details on the risks associated with the aforementioned potential conflicts of inteterests cf. the risk
factor in Section 3.1.28, “De Raj Group’s major shareholders may have interests that may not be
aligned or may conflict with those of its other shareholders”).
Apart from the above, there are no actual or potential conflicts of interest between the responsibilities
of the members of the Management Board vis-à-vis the Company and their private interests or other
responsibilities.
15.3 The Supervisory Board
15.3.1 Composition, Resolutions and Representation
According to the Articles of Association the Supervisory Board of the Company shall consist of four
members all elected by the Shareholders’ Meeting as representatives of the shareholders. Pursuant to the Articles of Association of De Raj the members of the Supervisory Board and, if applicable, their
substitute members are elected for the period up until the end of the Shareholders’ Meeting that de-cides on the formal approval of the actions of the Supervisory Board for the fourth fiscal year after the
term of office commenced. The fiscal year in which the term of office commences shall not be calcu-
lated in this period. On their election the Shareholders’ Meeting may stipulate a shorter period. Reelection, including repeated reelection, is permissible. For each member of the Supervisory Board,
the shareholders may, at the same time the respective member is elected, appoint substitute mem-
bers. These substitute members will replace the elected Supervisory Board member in the event of his
premature departure in an order that was defined at the time of the appointment. The term of office of
the substitute member replacing the departing member terminates, if a successor is elected at the
next Shareholders’ Meeting or the following one, at the close of the Shareholders’ Meeting, otherwise on the expiry of the term of office of the departed member of the Supervisory Board.
Pursuant to Section 100 AktG the following individuals may not become a member of the Supervisory
Board: a person (i) who is already a member of a Supervisory Board in ten commercial companies
which are required by law to have supervisory boards, (ii) who is a statutory representative of an en-
terprise which is controlled by the Company, (iii) who is legal representative of other corporations
whose supervisory board comprises a member of the Management Board of the Company, or (iv) who
in the past two years has served as member of the Management Board of the Company, unless it is
appointed upon a motion presented by shareholders holding more than 25% of the voting rights in the
Company. Members of the Supervisory Board who were elected by the Shareholders’ Meeting may be dismissed at any time during their term of office by a resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting adopted by 75% of the votes cast. According to the Company’s Articles of Association, any member or substi-tute member of the Supervisory Board may resign at any time, even without providing a reason, by
giving one month’s notice of his resignation to the Chairman of the Supervisory Board or the Managing
- 236 -
Board in writing. This does not affect the right to resign for good cause. In this case any member of the
Supervisory Board may resign without notice.
In its first meeting after its election, the Supervisory Board elects from among its members a Chairman
and a Vice Chairman for the term of their individual office. If the Chairman or Vice Chairman leaves
office before their end of term, the Supervisory Board shall elect a replacement Chairman or Vice
Chairman immediately.
The Supervisory Board must hold two meetings within six months of each calendar year pursuant to
Section 110 AktG. Meetings are called by the Chairman or Vice Chairman. The Supervisory Board has
a quorum if at least three members are present. A member also takes part in the resolution if it ab-
stains from voting. Absent members may participate in the vote on a resolution if they arrange for a
written vote to be submitted by another member. Furthermore, pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Association absent members may cast their votes orally, by telephone, by fax, email or using other
standard means of telecommunication.
As a rule, resolutions of the Supervisory Board shall be passed at physical meetings. Resolutions of
the Supervisory Board may also be passed by votes transmitted orally, by telephone, in writing, by fax,
email or using other standard means of telecommunication.
The resolutions of the Supervisory Board are passed with a simple majority, unless otherwise man-
dated by law or the Articles of Association. An abstention shall not be considered as a vote cast.
According to the Articles of Association the Supervisory Board shall issue its own Bylaws, but it has
not yet exercised this right.
The Supervisory Board has not formed any committees from among its members. Thus, the Company
does not have an audit committee or a remuneration committee.
The members of the Supervisory Board can be reached at the Company’s business address.
15.3.2 Current Members
At present, the Company’s Supervisory Board consists only of 3 members, namely Ms Renata Anita
de Raj, Mr Alexander Arjun de Raj and Mr Carlo Arachi.

ers’ meeting resolving upon their exoneration for the business year 2017.

Compensation
According to the articles of association of the Company, the members of the supervisory board receive
a remuneration which is resolved upon by the shareholders’ meeting. Should the term of a member of
the supervisory board start and/or end during the fiscal year, the remuneration will be paid pro rata
temporis for the term of his office. Furthermore, according to the articles of association of the Compa-
ny the members of the supervisory board are entitled to reimbursement of their expenses and VAT on
their remuneration to the extent applicable.
As the Company had been a shelf company until July 2017, no remuneration was paid to members of
the supervisory board in the last fiscal year ending 31 December 2016. According to a resolution by
the shareholders’ meeting of the Company of 26 October 2017, from the fiscal year 2017 on the
chairman of the supervisory board receives a remuneration in the amount of EUR 30,000.00 p.a. and
- 240 -
the other members of the supervisory board receive a remuneration in the amount of EUR 18,000.00
p.a.
Provisions for pension funds for former or actual members of the Supervisory Board have not been
made since there are no respective obligations of the De Raj Group. The Supervisory Board members
are further entitled to reimbursement of all expenses. Value added tax shall be borne by the Company.
The Company has taken out a Directors’ & Officers’ (D&O) insurance policy (Ver-
mögensschadenshaftpflichtversicherung) which also covers the members of the Supervisory Board.
There is a service contract entered into between the member of the Supervisory Board Mr Carlo Ara-
chi and Gaea Power GmbH. This contract relates to the provision of ongoing legal advice by Mr Arachi

2,500.00 per month (plus VAT, if applicable, and expenses). The members of the supervisory board
have consented to this contract according to § 114 AktG. Apart from this contract, no member of the
Supervisory Board was or is compensated for any consulting services for the Company for the term of
their office and there are no other service contracts between the members of the Supervisory Board
and De Raj Group. Furthermore, no agreements between the Company and the members of the Su-
pervisory Board provide for the payment of any benefits after termination or expiration of the term of
office.
Loans, Guarantees or other Warranties

vided Guarantees or other Warranties in favour of Members of the Supervisory Board.
Other legal Relationships
During the last five years, no member of the Supervisory Board has been convicted of any fraudulent
offense. In addition, no member of the Supervisory Board has been publicly incriminated and/or sanc-
tioned by statutory or regulatory authorities (including designated professional bodies) or, acting in the
capacity of a member of an administrative, management or supervisory body or as founder of an issu-
er, been associated with any bankruptcies and/or insolvencies, receiverships or liquidations. No mem-
ber of the Supervisory Board has ever been disqualified by a court from acting as a member of the

Board or (ii) between Supervisory Board members and Management Board members.
Conflicts of Interest of the Members of the Supervisory Board
Ms Renata Anita de Raj and Mr Alexander Arjun de Raj as members of the De Raj Family have the
following potential conflicts of interests in view of De Raj Group:
- Just like De Raj Group, the company Lexanda International, British Virgin Islands, which is
utlimately held by Alexander Arjun de Raj, also owns two Jack-up Rigs which may be de-
ployed in oil and gas fields, which may constitute a risk that Lexanda International may
make use of corporate opportunities to the detriment of De Raj Group in the future.
- Furthermore, the company Maya Terang Sdn Bhd, which is ultimately held by Mr Nagen-
dran C Nadarajah and his wife Ms Renata Anita de Raj, owns the premises which serve as
office of De Raj Group in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
For details on the risks associated with the aforementioned potential conflicts of inteterests and
measures taken by De Raj Group to avoid these risks cf. the risk factor in Section 3.1.28, “De Raj
Group’s major shareholders may have interests that may not be aligned or may conflict with those of its other shareholders”, and section section 8.7.2, “Material contracts outside the ordinary course of
business”).
Apart from the above, there are no actual or potential conflicts of interest between the responsibilities
of the members of the Supervisory Board vis-à-vis the Company and their private interests or other
responsibilities.
15.4 Shareholders’ Meeting
The Shareholders’ Meeting is the body in which shareholders can exercise their rights within the Company. Pursuant to the Articles of Association the Shareholders’ Meeting must be held at the regis-tered office of the Company, in another German city with a stock exchange or in its vicinity, within a
50km-radius. Each individual share confers one vote in the Shareholders’ Meeting. Limitations on voting rights do not exist. The voting right accrues only upon full payment of the relevant contribution.
Voting rights can be exercised through a proxy. The granting and withdrawal of power of attorney and
the provision of evidence of authorization to the Company shall be in text form. The details for the
granting of the power of attorney, its revocation and the proof of the authorization towards the Compa-
ny will be announced with the notice to the Shareholders’ Meeting. The notice of the meeting can es-
tablish relief from the form requirement; Section 135 of the Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) is
unaffected. If the shareholder grants the power of attorney to more than one person, the Company
may refuse one or several of them.
- 242 -
Resolutions are adopted by the Shareholders’ Meeting with a simple majority and, if the law so re-quires, with a simple majority of share capital, unless otherwise provided by mandatory applicable law
or the Company’s Articles of Association.
Neither the German Stock Corporation Act nor the Articles of Association require any minimum partic-
ipation for the Shareholder’s Meeting to have quorum.
Under the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), certain resolutions of fundamental im-
portance mandatorily require - in addition to a majority of the votes cast - a majority of at least three-
quarters of the share capital represented at the vote. These resolutions include in particular:
• Capital increases excluding shareholders’ subscription rights, • Capital reductions,
• Creation of authorized or contingent capital,
• Corporate transformation measures, such as mergers, de-mergers and changes in legal
form,
• Execution and amendment of Company agreements (for example, control and profit and
loss transfer),
• Transfer of all the assets of the Company and
• Liquidation of the Company.
The Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company is convened as a rule once a year (annual shareholders’ meeting) and may be convened by the Management Board and/or by the Supervisory Board as pre-
scribed by law. In addition, an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting must be convened by the Man-agement Board or Supervisory Board if the interests of the Company so require. Pursuant to the Ger-
man Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), shareholders whose shares constitute at least 5% of the
share capital may demand that the Shareholders’ Meeting is to be convened; this demand must be made in writing, stating the purpose of the meeting and be directed to the Management Board.
The ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting must take place within the first eight months of each fiscal year.
Notice of the convening of the Shareholders’ Meeting, accompanied by the agenda, is made through publication in the German Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) and must be issued no later than 30
days before the day on which shareholders must register prior to the meeting. This period does not
include the day on which the convening notice is issued and the day on which the shareholders must
register to participate in the Shareholders’ Meeting. The registration must be received by the company
at least six days prior to the meeting at the address stated for this purpose in the invitation in text form
in German or English. Shareholders wishing to participate in Shareholders’ Meetings or exercise their voting rights must register for the Shareholders’ Meeting and provide proof of their authorization. Writ-ten evidence of the shareholdings in German or English, prepared by the custodian institution, must
be presented to the Company at least six days before the Shareholders’ Meeting not including the day of receipt and the day of the Shareholders’ Meeting. The written evidence of shareholding must relate to the beginning of the twenty-first day prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting.
- 243 -
In general, for periods and deadlines which are calculated backwards from the Shareholders’ Meeting the date of the Shareholders’ Meeting is not to be included in the calculation; if the end of that period is a Sunday, an official holiday at the registered office of the Company or a Saturday, such day will not
be replaced by the preceding or succeeding working day.
Pursuant to the Articles of Association the Management Board is authorized to make provision for
shareholders to participate in the Shareholders’ Meeting without actually attending the venue and
without granting powers of proxy, and to exercise their voting rights in part or in full via electronic
means (online participation). The Management Board may define individual rules concerning the
scope and method of online participation that are published with the notice for the Shareholders’ Meet-ing.
Furthermore, the Management Board is authorized to make provision for shareholders to cast their
votes in writing or via electronic means without attending the Shareholders’ Meeting (postal vote). It
may define individual rules concerning the process of postal voting that are published with the notice
for the Shareholders’ Meeting.
Neither German law nor the Company’s Articles of Association restrict the right of shareholders not resident in Germany or foreign shareholders to hold shares or to exercise the voting rights attached to
such shares.

As of the date of the prospectus, neither the members of the Management Board nor the members of
the Supervisory Board hold stock options in view of the stocks of the Company.
15.6 Corporate Governance
The German Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”), which was passed in February 2002 by the Government Commission on the Corporate Governance Code (Regierungskommission Deutscher
Corporate Governance Kodex) and last amended on May 15, 2015, contains recommendations and
suggestions for the management and supervision of German companies listed on the stock exchange.
The Code incorporates nationally and internationally recognized standards of good and responsible
corporate governance. The purpose of the Code is to make the German system of corporate govern-
ance and supervision transparent for investors. The Code includes recommendations and suggestions
for management and supervision with regard to shareholders and Shareholders’ Meetings, Manage-ment and Supervisory Boards, transparency, accounting and auditing.
There is no obligation to comply with the recommendations or suggestions of the Code. However, the
German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) requires that the Management Board and Supervisory
Board of a German listed company declare, every year, either that the recommendations have been or
will be applied, or which recommendations have not been or will not be applied and explain why the
Management Board and the Supervisory Board do not/will not apply such recommendations that have
not been or will not be applied. This declaration is to be made permanently accessible to sharehold-
ers. However, deviations from the suggestions contained in the Code need not be disclosed.
Having taken due account of the provisions of the Code, the Management Board and the Supervisory
Board of the Company adopted the following declaration of compliance according to section 161 Ger-
man Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) on 30 October 2017:
“De Raj Group AG's Management and Supervisory Boards welcome and support the German
Corporate Governance Code (“GCGC”) and the objectives it pursues. De Raj Group AG fol-lows the recommendations of the GCGC in the version dated 7 February 2017 and will contin-
ue to do so in future with the following exceptions:
D&O insurance:
The D&O insurance concluded for the Management and Supervisory Boards does not include
a deductible for members of the Supervisory Board (Item 3.8 GCGC). The Company is of the
opinion that the inclusion of a deductible is not necessary to urge the members of the supervi-
sory board to a responsible behaviour as they are already obliged to a responsible behaviour
in the best interest of the company qua their office and that an inclusion of a deductible may
prevent potential suitable candidates from assuming the office as members of the supervisory
board.
- 245 -
Age limit for members of the Management and Supervisory Boards
There is no age limit for members of the Managing and Supervisory Boards (Items 5.1.2 and
5.4.1 GCGC). The Company is of the opinion that the determination of an age limit is not ap-
propriate as the Company shall also benefit from the knowledge and experience of older per-
sons in the work of the Managing and Supervisory Boards.
Committees:
In view of its low number of members, the Supervisory Board has not formed any committees
(Item 5.3 GCGC).
Constitution of the Supervisory Board:
According to the supervisory board it currently does not contain any independent member
(Item 5.4.2 GCGC) as the supervisory currently only consists of three members. However, the
articles of association of the Company demand a supervisory board with four members. Thus,
an independent member of the supervisory board according to the GCGC shall soon be ap-
pointed by the shareholders‘ meeting of the Company.
Cologne, October 2017
De Raj Group AG
The Management Board The Supervisory Board”
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company is in compliance with the recommendations of the
Code in the scope declared in the Declaration of Compliance by the Management Board and Supervi-
sory Board of the Company of 30 October 2017.

The background for the current shareholder structure is as follows:
- 247 -
On 20 July 2017, Ms Renata Anita de Raj, Mr Nicholas Arnand de Raj and Mr Alexander de Raj ac-
quired all of the then 50,000 shares in the company (cf. also Section 7.3, “Formation and History of De
Raj”). On 20 October 2017, the company Gryphon Energy Corporation PTE LTD, Singapore acquired
34,950,000 new shares which were issued by the Company in the context of a capital increase against
contribution in kind (cf. also Section 7.4.3 below “Formation of the De Raj Group”). Gryphon Energy Corporation PTE LTD then sold the acquired shares to the current shareholders which lead to the
shareholder structure as shown above.
Information on the number of shares held by the members of the Management Board and the Super-
visory Board can be found in Section 15.5 above. Each share in the Company carries one vote at the
Company’s Sharesholders’ Meeting. There are no different voting rights or restrictions on voting rights.
The members of the De Raj Family hold directly and indirectly 75 % of the shares and voting rights in
the Company in total. However, no individual shareholder holds directly and/or indirectly more than 50
% of the shares or voting rights in the Company. Furthermore, the Company is not aware that mem-
bers of the De Raj Family and/or other direct and/or indirect shareholders of the Company coordinate
their behaviour in view of the Company by way of an agreement or otherwise. Thus, the Company is
not controlled by any of its shareholders.

17. INFORMATION ON THE CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY
17.1 Issued Share Capital and Shares
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company’s share capital amounts to EUR 35,000,000.00 divided
into 35,000,000.00 ordinary bearer shares with no par value (Stückaktien), each representing a no-
tional value of EUR 1.00. Each share carries one vote at the Shareholders’ Meeting. Each share car-
ries an entitlement for the payment of dividends for the financial year ending 31 December 2017 and
all subsequent financial years. The Articles of Association do not provide for any restrictions on voting
rights. The shares are fully entitled to dividends. If the Company is dissolved, the Company's assets
remaining after the deduction of liabilities will be divided by the percentages shareholders hold in the
share capital of the Company.
Section 7 of the Articles of Association states that shareholders are not entitled to have their shares
evidenced by individual share certificates. As from the date of the listing approval issued by the Frank-
furt Stock Exchange (21 November 2017) the Shares will be deposited with Clearstream Banking Ak-
tiengesellschaft, Mergenthalerallee 61, 65760 Eschborn, Germany, in the form of global share certifi-
cates without dividend coupons. The paying agent (Zahlstelle) for the Shares is Dero Bank AG, Her-
zog-Wilhelm-Str. 26, 80331 Munich, Germany.
Development of the Share Capital
The Company’s share capital as of 6 March 2015 – the beginning of the period the historical financial
information refers to – was EUR 50,000.00 consisting of 50,000 ordinary bearer shares with no par
value (Stückaktien), each representing a notional value of EUR 1.00.
On 11 October 2017, the shareholders’ meeting of the Company resolved upon a capital increase against contribution in kind. In this capital increase, the nominal share capital was incresaed from EUR
50,000.00 to EUR 35,000,000.00 by issuing 34,950,000 new ordinary bearer shares with no par value
(Stückaktien), each representing a notional value of EUR 1.00. The capital increase became effective
with its regsitration in the commercial register on 20 October 2017 (for further details of the capital
increase cf. section 7.4.3 “Formation of De Raj Group”).
All shares were issued in accordance with the terms of German stock corporation law
The Company has not issued any such financial instruments which grant to their holders conversion
and/or subscription rights to shares in the Company.
17.2 Authorized Capital
By resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting on 30 October 2017, which was entered into the
commercial register on 2 November 2017, the Management Board has been authorized,
subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the Company’s share capital by up to a total of EUR 17,500,000.00 by issuing up to 17,500,000 new ordinary bearer shares
- 252 -
with no par value in one or more tranches against contribution in cash or contribution in kind
until and including 10 October 2022 (Authorized Capital 2017).
The Management Board is authorized, subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board, to
completely or partially exclude shareholders’ statutory subscription rights in the following cases:
i. in the case of capital increases against contribution in cash, if shares in the com-
pany are traded on a stock market (regulated market or open market or the suc-
cessors to these segments) the capital increase does not exceed 10% of the share
capital at either the time of coming into effect or the time of this authorization being
exercised and the issue price of the new shares is not significantly lower than the
market price of shares in the company of the same class and features already
traded on the stock market within the meaning of Sections 203 paragraph 1 and 2,
186 paragraph 3 sentence 4 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz).
The amount of 10% of the share capital must include the amount relating to shares
issued or disposed of on the basis of a different corresponding authorization with
pre-emption rights disapplied under direct or mutatis mutandis application of Sec-
tion 186 paragraph 3 sentence 4 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktieng-
esetz), if such inclusion is required by law. For the purposes of this authorization,
the issue price for the purchase of new shares by an intermediary with the simulta-
neous obligation of such intermediary to offer the new shares for purchase to one
or more third parties designated by the company is deemed to be the amount that
must be paid by the third party or parties;
ii. to issue shares against contribution in kind in particular for the purpose of acquisi-
tion of companies, parts thereof, investments in companies, industrial property
rights, such as patents, brands or licenses to these, or other product rights or other
non-cash contributions as well as bonds, convertible bonds or other financial in-
struments;
iii. to the extent required, to grant holders of conversion or option rights or creditors of
convertible bonds with conversion obligations that have been issued by the Com-
pany or a directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiary a subscription right to new
no par value bearer shares, to the extent that such shareholders would be entitled
to if they were to exercise their option or conversion rights or upon fulfillment of a
conversion obligation;
iv. in order to exclude fractional amounts from the subscription rights.
The Management Board is authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to deter-
mine the further content of share rights and the other details of the capital increase and its
implementation. The Management Board is authorized to determine that the new shares in
accordance with Section 186 paragraph 5 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktieng-
- 253 -
esetz) must be assumed by a bank or a company operating in accordance with Section 53
paragraph 1 sentence 1 or Section 53b paragraph 1 sentence 1 or paragraph 7 of the Ger-
man Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz), with the obligation of offering them for subscription to
shareholders.
17.3 Contingent Capital
Contingent Capital 2017/I and Convertible Bonds
The share capital is increased on a contingent basis by up to EUR 14,000,000.00 divided in-
to 14,000,000 no par value bearer shares, each representing a notional value of EUR 1.00
(Contingent Capital 2017/I.). The new shares will participate in the profits from the beginning
of the fiscal year in which they are created. The Contingent Capital 2017/I. serves to grant
shares to the holders of convertible and/or option bonds issued by the Company pursuant to
the authorization of 30 October 2017, in the period until 10 October 2022. The contingent
capital increase shall be implemented only to the extent that conversion or option rights are
exercised and to the extent that no other forms of fulfilment are used to service these rights.
The Management Board is authorized to define the further details of the implementation of
the contingent capital increase.
Contingent Capital 2017 and stock option program 2017
The share capital is increased on a contingent basis by up to EUR 3,500,000.00 by issuing
up to 3,500,000 bearer shares for servicing the option rights granted to the parties entitled
under the stock option plan 2017 (Contingent Capital 2017/II.). On the basis of the resolution
of the Shareholders’ Meeting on 30 October 2017, the Management Board and the Supervi-
sory Board are authorized to issue up to 3,500,000 stock options in one or more tranches to
members of the Management Board and employees of the Company as well as directors
and employees of De Raj Group companies. This authorization is valid until to 10 October
2022. The stock options may not be transferred, pledged or otherwise charged. However,
the Management Board, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, can approve such legal
transactions given proof of the justified interest of a person with a subscription entitlement or
the justified interest of the Company. In case the beneficiary is a member of the Manage-
ment Board, the relevant decision will solely be made by the Supervisory Board. The stock
options can be inherited and be subject to a legacy. The contingent capital increase shall be
implemented only to the extent that subscription rights are exercised. The shares issued out
of the contingent capital increase are entitled to dividends from the beginning of the fiscal
year in which they are issued. The strike price is the average of the price of the Company’s shares on the last five trading days before the option is granted. The price of the Company’s share is to be calculated on the basis of the closing price (or a comparable price) of the
Company’s shares in XETRA trading on Frankfurt Stock Exchange (or a functionally compa-
rable successor system which has taken its place).
The conditions for exercising the stock options are:
- 254 -
Stock options can only be exercised within the period between the ninth XETRA trading day
on Frankfurt Stock Exchange (or a functionally comparable successor system which has
taken its place) after the financial results of the first quarter, the half year, the first nine
months or the entire fiscal year have been announced and the last calendar day of the re-
spective quarter the results are announced in.
The stock options issued pursuant to this authorization are allocated to groups of beneficiar-
ies as follows:
current and future members of the Man-
agement Board
2,800,000 options maximum
current and future members of the man-
agement of subsidiaries
350,000 options maximum
current and future employees of the Com-
pany
175,000 options maximum
current and future employees of subsidiar-
ies
175,000 options maximum
Stock options are to be allocated to 80% to current and future members of the Management
Board, 10% to current and future members of the management of subsidiaries, 5% to current
and future employees of the Company and 5% to current and future employees of subsidiar-
ies.
The Management Board and, to the extent that the Management Board itself is affected, the
Supervisory Board determines the beneficiary and the number of issued subscription rights
in each case. Stock options are granted without consideration.
The Supervisory Board has to define a possibility of limitation (cap) for extraordinary, unfore-
seeable developments regarding stock options issued to members of the Management
Board.
Stock options can be exercised 1 : 1 in new ordinary bearer shares with no par value. Upon
exercise of the subscription rights, a subscription price must be paid for each subscription
right exercised. The subscription price is the average closing price (or a comparable price) of
the Company’s shares in XETRA trading on Frankfurt Stock Exchange (or a comparable successor system of the Deutsche Börse AG) on the last five trading days before the stock
options are issued.
Stock option may only be exercised if the average of the price of the Company's shares in
XETRA trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (or a comparable successor system of the
Deutsche Börse AG) over the last five trading days prior to the exercise date must be at least
20% above the subscription price.
- 255 -
Stock options may be exercised for the first time after a waiting period of four years has
elapsed. The option rights end ten years after the date on which the option rights were
granted unless the Management Board and, to the extent that the Management Board itself
is affected, the Supervisory Board determine a shorter term. Stock options can only be exer-
cised within 15 days beginning on the third XETRA trading day after the financial results of
the first quarter, the half year, the first nine months or the entire fiscal year have been an-
nounced. In case provisional financial results are announced, the day of the announcement
of provisional financial results is deemed as relevant date for calculating the exercise period.
In addition, the restrictions arising from the general statutory regulations, in particular the
Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz) must be observed.
Stock options cannot be exercised within defined lock-up periods that are:
(i) the period from the day on which the Company publishes an offer to its sharehold-
ers with respect to the new shares or bonds with conversion or option rights until
the date on which the preferential shares are quoted “ex subscription rights” ;
(ii) the period from the last banking day on which the shareholders may register their
attendance at the Shareholders’ Meeting until the end of the day the Shareholders’ Meeting takes place.
Issued stock options expire without compensation in the event a beneficiary resigns its em-
ployment with the Company or its subsidiaries prior to the expiry of at least two years after the
stock options were issued or the employment is terminated prior to this time without immedi-
ately being given a new employment. The Company is entitled to grant exemptions from these
requirements.
If a change of control (as specified below) occurs after stock options are issued and if the em-
ployment is terminated after a change of control occurs, the waiting period can be completed
after the termination of the employment. In this case, issued stock options expire one year af-
ter the end of the waiting period. Within this period subscription rights may be exercised sub-
ject to the other terms of the stock option plan 2017. In the event the employment is terminat-
ed by the holder himself subscription rights will not expire if the employment is terminated after
the change of control. For the purposes of the stock option plan 2017, a change of control oc-
curs at the time an offerer announces that he has gained indirect or direct control of the Com-
pany (if applicable taking into account voting rights attributed to the respective offeror) pursu-
ant to Section 10 in conjunction with Section 35 of the German Securities Acquisition and
Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz). Furthermore, for the purpose of
this resolution on the stock option plan 2017 the reception of a notification stating that one has
reached or exceeded 50% or 75% of the voting rights in the Company is deemed as change of
control if a publishment pursuant to Section 10 in conjunction with Section 35 of the German
Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz) does
not precede. The reception of a notification stating that a shareholder has reached or exceed-
- 256 -
ed 30% of the voting rights in the Company is also deemed as change of control for the pur-
pose of the stock option plan 2017, if a voluntary takeover offer has been made before.
The provisions of the subscription rights might also foresee that the subscription rights may be
exercised before expiry of the waiting period within a reasonable period of notice after there
has been a change of control, provided that in such case performance is provided for through
cash payment. The terms of the subscription rights may further provide that the subscription
rights can, within a reasonable period of time, be terminated unilaterally by the Company fol-
lowing any change of control effected, including during the waiting period, in return for cash
payment in the amount of the difference between the exercise price and the closing price of
the Company’s shares in XETRA trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (or a comparable successor system of the Deutsche Börse AG) on the last stock exchange trading day prior to
the date of termination (date of issuing the declaration of termination).
The provisions of the subscription rights may also provide that the beneficiaries of stock op-
tions are obliged to transfer the subscription rights to an offeror (within the meaning of the
German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz)
who makes a voluntary takeover offer or a compulsory offer for all issued shares of the Com-
pany, provided the price per subscription right offered for the transfer of the subscription right
corresponds at least to the difference between the exercise price and the price offered per
share for the acquisition of the shares issued (included any price increase). Provided these
conditions are met the provisions of the subscription rights may provide that the beneficiaries
of stock options are obliged to waive their subscription rights.
The provisions of the subscription rights are adjusted in the event of any share issues (dilution
protection).
The Management Board and, to the extent that the Management Board itself is affected, the
Supervisory Board is authorized to define the further content of the subscription rights.
17.4 General Provisions on Changes in the Share Capital
According to the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), the share capital of a stock corpora-
tion may be increased by a resolution taken by the Shareholders’ Meeting. The resolution must be adopted by a majority of at least three-quarters of the share capital represented at the meeting, unless
the stock corporation’s Articles of Association specify other requirements with regard to majorities. The Company has exercised its right to stipulate a smaller majority of shares. Pursuant to Section 19 par-
agraph 1 of the Company’s Articles of Association, the Company’s Shareholders’ Meeting adopts its resolutions by a simple majority of the votes cast and, to the extent that a majority vote of shares is
required, by a simple majority of the shares present at the meeting, except as otherwise required by
the law or the Company’s Articles of Association.
The shareholders may also create authorized capital. The creation of authorized capital requires a
resolution adopted by a majority of three-quarters of the share capital represented at the meeting to
- 257 -
authorize the Management Board to issue shares of up to a specific nominal amount within a period of
no more than five years. The nominal amount of the authorized capital may not exceed half of the
share capital existing at the time of the authorization.
Additionally, shareholders may resolve to create contingent capital to issue shares to holders of con-
vertible bonds or other securities that grant their holders the right to subscribe for shares, to grant
shares as consideration in a merger with another company, or to offer shares to officers and employ-
ees, provided that, in each case, a corresponding resolution is approved by a three-quarters majority
of the share capital represented when the vote is taken. The nominal amount of contingent capital
created for the issuance of shares to officers and employees may not exceed 10% of the share capital
existing at the time of the resolution. In all other cases, it may not exceed half of the share capital ex-
isting at the time of the resolution.
A resolution to decrease the share capital requires approval by a three-quarters majority of the share
capital represented when the vote is taken.
17.5 General Provisions Governing Subscription Rights
The German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) grants, in principle, all shareholders the right to
subscribe for new shares to be issued in a capital increase. The same applies to convertible bonds,
bonds with warrants, profit participation rights and participating bonds. Subscription rights are freely
transferable and may be traded on German stock exchanges for a fixed period prior to the com-
mencement of the subscription period. The Shareholders’ Meeting may, subject to a majority of at least 75% of the share capital represented at the meeting, resolve to exclude subscription rights. Ex-
clusion of shareholders’ subscription rights also requires a report from the Management Board, which must justify and demonstrate that the company’s interest in excluding subscription rights outweighs
the interest of the shareholders to be granted subscription rights. Excluding shareholders’ subscription rights when new shares are issued is specifically permissible where (i) the company is increasing
share capital against contribution in cash, (ii) the amount of the capital increase does not exceed 10%
of the share capital in issue and (iii) the price at which the new shares are being issued is not material-
ly lower than the stock exchange price.
Subscription rights enable shareholders to maintain their current percentage of share capital and their
voting rights (“dilution protection”). If the shareholders’ subscription rights are excluded, the provi-sions of Section 255 paragraph 2 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) require that the
fixed issue price of the new shares or the minimum price under which the new shares may not be is-
sued may not be “unreasonably low”. By virtue of the nature of a contingent capital increase, a share-holder’s general subscription right is excluded. In order to protect shareholders, the nominal value of
the contingent capital, regardless of its purpose, may not exceed half of the share capital. If the con-
tingent capital grants subscription rights to employees or members of the management of the compa-
ny or a subsidiary, the nominal amount may not exceed 10% of the share capital.
- 258 -
17.6 Treasury Shares
Currently, De Raj and its subsidiaries do not hold any own shares (treasury shares). By virtue of the
resolution adopted by the Shareholders’ Meeting on 30 October 2017 the Company, in the period until
10 October 2022, is authorized to acquire treasury shares in the amount of up to 10% of the registered
share capital at the time of the resolution on this authorization pursuant to Section 71 paragraph 1
number 8 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz).
17.7 Shareholding Notification and Disclosure Requirements
Since the Company’s shares are admitted to trading on the regulated market (regulierter Markt) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Prime Standard), the Company, as a publicly traded company, is subject to
the shareholding notification requirements of WpHG.
Section 21 WpHG requires that anyone who acquires, sells or in some other way reaches, exceeds or
falls below 3%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 50% or 75% of the voting rights in an issuer whose
country of origin is the Federal Republic of Germany and whose shares are admitted to trading on an
organised market must immediately but no later than within four trading days notify the issuer and, at
the same time, BaFin. The notice can be drafted in either German or English and either sent in writing
or via telefax (Section 18 of the German Securities Trading Reporting and Insider Register Ordinance
(Wertpapierhandelsanzeige- und Insiderverzeichnisverordnung)). The notice must declare the individ-
ual or entity’s address, the share of voting rights held and the date of reaching, exceeding or falling
below the respective threshold. As a domestic issuer, De Raj must publish such notices immediately,
but no later than within three trading days after receiving them, via media outlets. Media outlets in-
clude any media which one can assume will disseminate the information throughout the European
Union and in the non-E.U. contracting parties to the EEA Agreement. The Company must also trans-
mit the notice to BaFin and to the electronic company register (elektronisches Unternehmensregister)
for archiving. Moreover, under Section 25 WpHG, any person who directly or indirectly holds certain
financial instruments or other instruments is subject to similar notification obligations. “Other instru-ments” include, for instance, re-transfer claims under securities loans or the agreement by a seller to
buy a security back from the respective purchaser at a specified price at a designated future date (re-
po transactions). These financial and other instruments must entitle the holder to unilaterally acquire
existing shares of the Company carrying voting rights by binding legal agreement of an issuer whose
country of origin is the Federal Republic of Germany. These notification obligations apply if the sum of
the shares such holder can acquire, together with any voting right stakes the holder may already hold
in the issuer or which are attributable to him pursuant to Sections 21 and 22 WpHG (voting rights
shares), reaches or exceeds any of the thresholds mentioned, with the exception of the 3% threshold.
Furthermore, pursuant to Section 25a WpHG, any person who directly or indirectly holds financial
instruments or other instruments that are not covered by Section 25 WpHG and that enable the holder
based on their terms to acquire existing shares carrying voting rights of an issuer whose home country
is the Federal Republic of Germany is subject to the aforementioned notification obligations. The noti-
fication obligations apply on financial and other instruments (i) which provide for a cash settlement
only, but not for a right to acquire shares, if the counterparty is in a position to hedge its risks under
- 259 -
the instruments by holding shares and (ii) under which shares may be acquired directly. The latter
include instruments such as physical call options providing for a condition which is beyond the control
of the holder of the instrument.
In connection with these notice requirements, the WpHG contains various rules on when the voting
rights of shares are deemed to belong to parties required to make a disclosure in cases where they do
not hold the shares directly but nevertheless control the voting rights. For example, shares are
deemed to belong to a party if they belong to a third party controlled by the relevant party; the same
applies where shares are held by a third company for the account of the relevant company.
Breaches of the notification obligation are punishable by a fine. Moreover, shareholders who do not
file a notification cannot exercise the rights attached to their shares (including voting rights and the
right to receive dividends; but with regard to dividends, only in cases where the failure to file was wilful
and has not been remedied) until this failure has been rectified. This period is extended by six months
in case of wilful or grossly negligent violation of the notification obligations if the shareholder omitted or
did not correctly file a notification regarding the number of voting rights attributable to him. However, in
respect of the notification obligations pursuant to the new Section 25a WpHG, breaches of the notifica-
tion obligations can only trigger a fine.
Furthermore, Section 27a WpHG requires any shareholder whose holdings reach or exceed the 10%
threshold or a higher threshold to notify the issuer of the aims being pursued with the acquisition of the
voting rights and the origin of the funds used for the acquisition within 20 trading days of the date on
which the respective threshold is met or exceeded. Once this information is received, and even if no
notification is received, the issuer has to publish it in the form discussed above, or give notice that the
disclosure requirement was not met, within no more than three trading days following the issuer’s ac-cess to the notification. The issuer’s Articles of Association may stipulate that the shareholders are not
subject to notification obligations. The Articles of Association of the Company do not contain such a
provision.
17.8 Duty to Submit a Public Offer
The German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz,
“WpÜG”) provides that any person whose voting rights reach or exceed 30% of the Company’s voting shares must publish this fact and the percentage of voting rights held in at least one national newspa-
per designated for stock exchange notices (Börsenpflichtblatt) or by means of an electronically oper-
ated information dissemination system for financial information within seven calendar days and, unless
released from this obligation, must subsequently submit a mandatory public offer addressed to all of
the Company’s shareholders.
17.9 Exclusion of Minority Shareholders
Under Sections 327a et seq. AktG, which governs the so-called “squeeze-out under stock corporation
law”, upon the request of a shareholder holding 95% of the share capital (“Majority Shareholder”), the shareholders’ meeting of a stock corporation may resolve to transfer the shares of minority share-
- 260 -
holders to the Majority Shareholder against payment of an adequate compensation in cash. The
amount of the cash payment that must be offered to minority shareholders has to reflect “the circum-stances of the Company” at the time the shareholders’ meeting passes the resolution. The amount of the cash payment is based on the full value of the company, which is generally determined using the
capitalised earnings method. The minority shareholders are entitled to file for a valuation proceeding
(Spruchverfahren), in the course of which the appropriateness of the cash payment is reviewed.
Under Sections 39a and 39b WpÜG, in the case of a so-called “squeeze-out under takeover law”, an offeror holding at least 95% of the voting share capital of a target company (as defined in the WpÜG)
after a takeover bid or mandatory offer, may, within three months of the expiry of the deadline for ac-
ceptances, petition the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Frankfurt am Main for a court order transfer-
ring the remaining voting shares to it against the payment of an adequate compensation. A resolution
passed by the shareholders’ meeting is not required. The consideration paid in connection with a
takeover or a mandatory bid is considered adequate if the offeror has obtained at least 90% of the
share capital that was subject to the offer. The nature of the compensation must be the same as the
consideration paid under the takeover bid or mandatory offer; a cash alternative must always be of-
fered. In addition, after a takeover bid or mandatory offer, shareholders in a target company who have
not accepted the offer may do so up to three months after the deadline for acceptances has expired,
provided the offeror is entitled to petition for the transfer of the outstanding voting shares in accord-
ance with Section 39a WpHG (Section 39c WpHG). The provisions for a squeeze-out under stock
corporation law cease to apply once an offeror has petitioned for a squeeze-out under takeover law,
and only apply again when these proceedings have been definitely completed.
In addition, under the provisions of Section 62 paragraph 5 of the German Reorganisation and Trans-
formation Act (Umwandlungsgesetz, “UmwG”), within three months after the conclusion of a merger agreement, the shareholders’ meeting of a transferring company may pass a resolution according to Section 327a AktG, i.e., a resolution on the transfer of the shares held by the remaining shareholders
(minority interests) to the transferee company (Majority Shareholder) in exchange for an adequate
cash settlement if the Majority Shareholder has at least 90% of the share capital. The result of this
“squeeze-out under reorganisation law” is the exclusion of the minority shareholders in the transferring company. The entitlement to consideration is based on the provisions of Section 327a et seq. AktG.
Under Section 319 et seq. AktG, the shareholders’ meeting of a stock corporation may vote for inte-
gration (Eingliederung) with another stock corporation that has its registered office in Germany, pro-
vided the prospective parent company holds at least 95% of the shares of the company to be integrat-
ed. The former shareholders of the integrated company are entitled to adequate compensation, which
must generally be provided in the form of shares in the parent company. Where the compensation
takes the form of treasury shares in the parent company, it is considered appropriate if the shares are
issued in the same proportion as shares of the parent company would have been issued per share in
the company integrated if a merger had taken place. Fractional amounts may be paid out in cash.

17.10 Disclosure of Directors’ Dealings
Under the Market Abuse Regulation VO (EU) Nr. 596/2014 (Marktmissbrauchsverordnung, “MAR”), persons holding managerial responsibilities within listed stock corporations (“directors”) are required to notify the stock corporation and the BaFin within five business days of their own transactions involving
shares of the company or related financial instruments, including, in particular, derivatives. This obliga-
tion also applies to directors’ related parties. Domestic issuers must publish this notification immedi-
ately after receiving it, notify the BaFin of its publication and send a copy to the electronic company
register.
Notification is not required if the total sum of all transactions involving a director and his or her related
parties is less than EUR 5,000.00 for the calendar year.
Director for these purposes means any managing partner or member of the company’s management,
administrative or supervisory bodies and any person who has regular access to insider information
and is authorized to make important managerial decisions. Related parties include spouses, registered
civil partners, dependent children and other relatives who have been living in the same household as
the director for at least one year when the relevant transaction is made. Notice is also required for
legal entities in which a director and/or any of the aforementioned parties holds supervisory responsi-
bilities, which are controlled by a director or such parties or which were established for the benefit of a
director or such a party or the economic interests of which are substantially equivalent to those of a
director or such a party.
Negligent non-compliance with these notification requirements may result in the imposition of a statu-
tory fine.

18. THIRD PARTY INTERESTS
There are no natural or legal persons who have an interest in the admission to trading of the Shares.

19. TAXATION IN THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY
The following section outlines certain key German tax principles that may be relevant with respect to
the acquisition, holding, or transfer of shares/subscription rights. This summary does not purport to be
a comprehensive or exhaustive description of all German tax considerations that may be relevant to
shareholders. This presentation is based upon domestic German tax laws (including administrative
guidance) in effect as of the date that stands on this Prospectus and the provisions of double taxation
treaties currently in force between Germany and other countries. It is important to note that the legal
situation may change, possibly with retroactive or retrospective effect. For example, the German gov-
ernment is currently considering introducing a financial transaction tax (Finanztransaktionssteuer)
which, if and when introduced, may also be applicable on sales and/or transfers of shares of the Com-
pany.
The tax information presented in this Prospectus is not a substitute for individual tax advice. There-
fore, it is recommended that any prospective investor consult with a tax advisor concerning the tax
consequences of acquiring, holding, selling and gifting or bequeathing shares and/or subscription
rights. The same applies with respect to the rules governing the refund of any German dividend with-
holding tax (Kapitalertragsteuer) withheld. Only tax advisors can adequately take into account the
specific tax situation of each investor.
The Issuer does not assume any responsibility for the withholding of tax levied on income from
the Shares or Subscription Rights.
19.1 Taxation of the Company
The Company’s taxable income, whether distributed or retained, is generally subject to corporate in-come tax (Körperschaftsteuer) at a uniform rate of 15% plus the solidarity surcharge (Solidar-
itätszuschlag) of 5.5% thereon, resulting in a total tax liability of 15.825%.
Dividends (Gewinnanteile) and other distributions received by the Company from domestic or foreign
corporations are exempt from corporate income tax; however, 5% of such revenue is treated as a non-
deductible business expense and, as such, is subject to corporate income tax plus the solidarity sur-
charge. Ultimately, therefore, 95% of the amount of dividends and other distributions that the Compa-
ny receives from corporations is exempt from corporate income tax. The same applies in general to
profits earned by the Company from the sale of shares in another domestic or foreign corporation.
However, this 95% exemption does not apply where at the beginning of the calendar year the Compa-
ny directly holds less than 10% of the registered share capital of the distributing domestic or foreign
corporation (Streubesitzdividende). In this case those dividends are fully taxable. The acquisition of a
participation during the year is deemed to have taken place at the beginning of the calendar year. If
the provisions of the German Foreign Tax Act (Außensteuergesetz) would apply, such attributed pas-
sive low taxed income would be fully subject to corporate income tax in Germany. Losses incurred
from the sale of such shares are not deductible for tax purposes irrespective of the participation held.
- 264 -
In addition, the Company is subject to trade tax (Gewerbesteuer) with respect to its taxable trade profit
(Gewerbeertrag) generated from its permanent establishments in Germany (inländische gew-
erbesteuerliche Betriebsstätten) or deemed permanent establishments, e.g. if the provisions of the
Foreign Tax Act are applied. The trade tax rate depends on the local municipalities in which the Com-
pany maintains its permanent establishments (inländische gewerbesteuerliche Betriebsstätten). It
currently amounts between 7% and 18.55% of the taxable trade profit (Gewerbeertrag), depending on
the applicable local trade tax multiplier. The trade tax may not be deducted as a business expense for
corporate income tax purposes. Dividends received from other corporations and capital gains from the
sale of shares in other corporations are treated in principle in the same manner for trade tax purposes
as for corporate income tax purposes. However, dividends received from domestic and foreign corpo-
rations are effectively 95% exempt from trade tax only if the Company held and continues to hold at
least 15% (10% in the case of companies resident for tax purposes in EU member states other than
Germany) of the registered share capital (Grundkapital or Stammkapital) of the distributing corporation
at the beginning or — in the case of foreign corporations — since the beginning of the relevant tax
assessment period. Additional limitations apply with respect to dividends received from foreign non-EU
corporations.
The tax deductibility of interest expenditure might be limited subject to the “interest barrier” rules (Zinsschranke). When the Company calculates its taxable income, the interest barrier rules generally pre-
vent the Company from deducting net interest expense, i.e. the excess of interest expense over interest
income for a given fiscal year, exceeding 30% of its taxable EBITDA (taxable earnings adjusted for interest
expense, interest income and certain depreciation/amortization and other reductions) if its net interest ex-
pense is EUR 3 million (Freigrenze) or greater and no exception to the restriction of the interest deduction
applies. Special rules apply in the case of external financing undertaken by shareholders or related parties.
When determining the amount on which to assess the trade tax, among other things, 25% of the interest
expense on debt, as well as 25% of the interest portion of rent, lease payments and royalties, is added
back into the amount of profits calculated for corporate income tax purposes, to the extent these interest
payments cumulatively exceed EUR 100,000.00. This means that for trade tax purposes only 75% of the
interest payments are tax deductible. Interest expense that is not deductible in a given year may be carried
forward to subsequent fiscal years of the Company (interest carry-forward) and will increase the interest
expense in those subsequent years. EBITDA amounts that could not be utilized may, under certain condi-
tions, be carried forward into future fiscal years. If such EBITDA carry-forward is not used within five fiscal
years it will be forfeited. An EBITDA carry-forward that arose in an earlier year must be used before a car-
ry-forward that arose in a later year is used. The EBITDA carry forward is not available in the case the
interest barrier does not apply due to exemptions.
Tax-loss carry forwards can be used to fully offset taxable income for corporate income tax and trade
tax purposes up to an amount of EUR 1 million. If the taxable profit for the year or taxable profit sub-
ject to trade taxation exceeds this threshold, only up to 60% of the amount exceeding the threshold
may be offset by tax-loss carry-forwards. The remaining 40% is subject to tax, so-called minimum
taxation rules (Mindestbesteuerung). Unused tax-loss carry-forwards can, in principle, be carried for-
ward indefinitely and can be deducted from future taxable income and trade income, in accordance
with the aforementioned rules.
- 265 -
In the case of a direct or indirect transfer of more than 25% or, respectively, more than 50% of the
share capital or voting rights in the Company within five years to a single acquirer or a group of ac-
quirers or in the case of comparable measures (harmful acquisition), the tax loss carry forwards, inter-
est carry-forwards, non-deductible interest expenses as well as losses of the current business year
that have not been used until the date of such transfer may, however, become unavailable on a pro
rata basis, or, as the case may be, be lost entirely, or it may not be possible to credit them against
future profits (subject to certain exceptions).
19.2 Taxation of Shareholders
Shareholders are taxed particularly in connection with the holding of shares (see below section 19.2.1,
"Taxation of Dividends"), upon the sale of shares and subscription rights (see section 19.3 "Taxation of
Capital Gains") and the gratuitous transfer of shares and subscription rights (see section 19.5 "Inheritance
and Gift tax").
19.2.1 Taxation of Dividends
If the Company pays dividends out of a tax-recognized contribution account (steuerliches Einlagekonto),
as investment income, the dividends are not subject to withholding tax, individual income tax (including
the solidarity surcharge and church tax, if any) or corporate income tax, as the case may be. However,
dividends lower the acquisition costs of the shares, which may result in a greater amount of taxable capi-
tal gain upon the shareholder’s sale of such shares. To the extent that dividends from the tax-recognized
contribution account exceed the then lowered acquisition costs of the shares, a capital gain is recog-
nized by the shareholder, which may be subject to tax in accordance with the provisions outlined below.
19.2.2 Dividend Withholding Tax
The dividends distributed by the Company are subject to a dividend withholding tax at a 25% rate on
dividends plus a solidarity surcharge of 5.5% on the amount of withholding tax (amounting in total to a
rate of 26.375%). The basis of the dividend withholding tax is the dividend approved for distribution by
the Company’s Shareholders’ Meeting. If the shares are admitted to be held in collective deposit with a German collective deposit bank for securities and are deposited with such common depository in
Germany, the Company is, in general, not responsible for withholding the tax at source, but the tax is
withheld for the account of the shareholder and remitted to the competent tax office by the German
bank, German financial services institution, German securities trading enterprise or German securities
trading bank (including branches of foreign institutions) with which the shares are deposited or that
administers the shares and disburses or credits the dividends to the shareholder or disburses the divi-
dends to a foreign institution, or by the collective deposit bank for securities if it disburses the divi-
dends to a foreign institution (“German Disbursing Agent”). If the shares are not held in collective
deposit with a German Disbursing Agent, the Company is responsible for withholding the tax at source
and the Company consequently has to withhold and remit the tax to the competent tax office.
- 266 -
The withholding tax must generally be deducted regardless of whether and to what extent the dividend
is exempt from taxation at the level of the shareholder and whether the shareholder is a resident of
Germany or of a foreign country.
If the shares are kept in a custodial account with a German Disbursing Agent and the shareholder is
subject to church tax in Germany, the German Disbursing Agent has to withhold church tax (where
applicable) unless the shareholder objects in writing to the Federal Central Tax Office (Bundeszen-
tralamt für Steuern). In case the church tax has not been withheld by the German Disbursing Agent,
the shareholder has to file a tax return including the dividends and the church tax will then be collected
by way of assessment.
Where dividends are distributed to a company resident in another member state of the European Union
within the meaning of Article 2 of the Parent-Subsidiary Directive (EC Directive 90/435/EEC of the
Council of July 23, 1990, as amended), the withholding of the dividend withholding tax may not be re-
quired, or the tax refunded, upon application, provided that additional requirements are met. This also
applies to dividends distributed to a permanent establishment located in another European Union
member state of such a parent company or of a parent company that is tax resident in Germany if the
interest in the dividend-paying subsidiary is part of the respective permanent establishment’s business assets. An important pre-requisite for the exemption from withholding at source under the Parent-
Subsidiary Directive is that the shareholder has directly held at least 10% of the company’s registered capital continuously for one year and that the German tax authorities (Bundeszentralamt für Steuern,
Hauptdienstsitz Bonn-Beuel, An der Küppe 1, D-53225 Bonn) have, based upon an application filed by
the creditor on the officially prescribed form, certified to him that the prerequisites for exemption have
been met.
The dividend withholding tax rate for dividends paid to other shareholders without a tax domicile in Ger-
many will be reduced in accordance with the applicable double taxation treaty, if any, between Germany
and the shareholder’s country of residence, provided that the shares are not held as part of the business assets of a permanent establishment or a fixed base (feste Einrichtung) in Germany or as part of the
business assets for which a permanent representative in Germany has been appointed. The reduction
in the dividend withholding tax is generally obtained by applying to the Federal Central Office of Taxa-
tion (Bundeszentralamt für Steuern), with its registered office (Hauptdienstsitz) in Bonn-Beuel, An der
Küppe 1, D-53225 Bonn, Germany, for a refund of the difference between the dividend withholding tax
withheld, including the solidarity surcharge, and the amount of withholding tax actually owed under the
applicable double taxation treaty, which usually is 15%. Forms for the refund procedure may be ob-
tained from the Federal Central Office of Taxation (Bundeszentralamt für Steuern)
(http://www.bzst.bund.de), as well as German embassies and consulates.
Corporations that are not tax resident in Germany will receive a refund of two-fifths of the dividend
withholding tax that was withheld and remitted to the tax authorities. This is in addition to any further
reduction or exemption provided under the Parent-Subsidiary Directive or a double taxation treaty. But
foreign corporations will generally have to meet certain substance criteria defined by statute in order to
receive an exemption from or (partial) refund of German dividend withholding tax.

19.2.3 Taxation of Dividends of Shareholders with a Tax Domicile in Germany
Individuals who hold the Shares as Private Assets
Dividends paid to shareholders being tax resident in Germany and holding the shares as private (non-
business) assets are subject to a flat income tax rate of 25% plus solidarity surcharge of 5.5% thereon
(combined tax rate of 26.375%), as well as church tax if applicable (“Flat Tax”; Abgeltungsteuer). The
private investor’s income tax liability (plus solidarity surcharge) is in general settled by the withholding
tax, i.e. the withholding tax will generally serve as a final tax irrespective of the individual income tax
rate of the shareholder. In other words, once deducted, the shareholder’s income tax liability on the
dividends will be settled, and he or she will no longer have to declare them on his or her annual tax
return.
The purpose of the Flat Tax is to provide for separate and final taxation of capital investment income
earned; in other words, taxation that is unconnected to the individual’s personal income tax rate. Share-holders may apply to have their capital investment income assessed in accordance with the general rules
and with an individual’s personal income tax rate if this would result in a lower tax burden. In this case, the
base for taxation would be the gross dividend income less the lump-sum allowance of EUR 801.00
(EUR 1,602.00 for married couples filing jointly), with no deduction for costs actually incurred to generate
the capital investment income. Any tax already withheld would be credited against the income tax so de-
termined and any overpayment refunded.
If the individual owns (i) at least 1% of the shares in the Company and through professional work for
the Company are able to exercise significant entrepreneurial influence on the business activities of the
Company or (ii) at least 25% of the shares, the tax authorities may approve upon application that the
dividends are treated under the partial-income method (see below “—Sole Proprietors (Individuals)”).
Upon the application of a shareholder who is subject to church tax and whose shares are held as private
assets – and within the framework of the applicable regional church tax laws (Landeskirchensteuergesetze)
– the church tax on the dividend is withheld and remitted by the German Disbursing agent that pays the
dividend to the shareholder for the Company’s account. An assessment to tax is mandatory, where the tax was not levied by way of withholding, e.g., where the individual shareholder is subject to church tax but
church tax has not been withheld.
Shares Held as Business Assets
If the shares form part of a shareholder’s domestic business assets, taxation of the dividends depends upon whether the shareholder is a corporation, sole proprietor or partnership (Mitunternehmenschaft).
When shares are held as part of a shareholder’s business assets, the dividend withholding tax to be withheld according to the above principles the Flat Tax does not apply. Instead, shareholders are able
to have the dividend withholding tax credited against their individual or corporate income tax liability
plus solidarity surcharge liability and have any overpayment refunded.
According to specific provisions to restrict the withholding tax credit, the credit of withholding tax is
subject to the following three cumulative pre-requisites: (i) the shareholder must qualify as the benefi-
cial owner of the shares in the Company for a minimum holding period of 45 consecutive days occur-
ring within a period of 45 days prior and 45 days after the due date of the dividends, (ii) the sharehold-
- 268 -
er has to bear at least 70% of the change in value risk related to the shares in the Company during the
minimum holding period without being directly or indirectly hedged, and (iii) the shareholder must not
be required to fully or largely compensate directly or indirectly the dividends to third parties. Absent the
fulfillment of all three prerequisites, three fifths of the withholding tax imposed on the dividends must
not be credited against the shareholder's (corporate) income tax liability, but may, upon application, be
deducted from the shareholder's tax base for the relevant assessment period. A shareholder that has
received gross dividends without any deduction of withholding tax due to a tax exemption without qual-
ifying for a full tax credit has to notify the competent tax office accordingly and has to make a payment
in the amount of the omitted withholding tax deduction. The special rules on the restriction of the with-
holding tax credit do not apply to a shareholder whose overall dividend earnings within an assessment
period do not exceed EUR 20,000 or that has been the beneficial owner of the shares in the Company
for at least one uninterrupted year upon receipt of the dividends.
Corporations
Dividend payments received by corporations resident in Germany are fully subject to corporate income
tax and solidarity surcharge, unless the participation is a direct participation of 10% or more in the regis-
tered share capital of the Company. In the latter case the dividends received are generally exempt from
corporate income tax and solidarity surcharge, however, 5% of the tax-exempt dividend income is
treated as a non-deductible business expense (i.e. effectively 95% of the dividend income is exempt)
and, as such, is subject to corporate income tax (plus the solidarity surcharge). Moreover, actual busi-
ness expenses incurred to generate the dividends may be deducted. However, the amount of any divi-
dends after deducting business expenses related to the dividends is also subject to trade tax, unless
the corporation held at least 15% of the Company’s registered share capital at the beginning of the relevant tax assessment period. In the latter case, the aforementioned exemption of 95% of the divi-
dend income applies analogously for trade tax purposes.
Sole Proprietors (Individuals)
If the shares are held as part of the business assets of a sole proprietor (individual), with his tax dom-
icile in Germany, 40% of the dividend is tax exempt (so-called partial-income method — Teilein-
künfteverfahren). Only 60% of the expenses economically related to the dividends are tax-deductible.
The partial-income method will also apply when individuals hold the shares indirectly through a part-
nership (with the exception of personal investors who hold their shares through an asset manage-
ment partnership (vermögensverwaltende Personengesellschaft)). If the shares form part of the busi-
ness assets of a domestic permanent establishment of a trade, the full amount of the dividend in-
come (after deduction of business expenses that are economically related to the dividends) is also
subject to trade tax, unless the taxpayer held at least 15% of the Company’s registered share capital
at the beginning of the relevant tax assessment period. However, trade tax is generally credited –
fully or in part – as a lump sum against the shareholder’s personal income tax liability.
Partnerships
If the shareholder is a trading or deemed to be a trading (gewerblich geprägte) partnership with its tax
domicile in Germany, the personal income tax or corporate income tax, as the case may be, and the
solidarity surcharge, are levied at the level of each partner rather than at the level of the partnership.
The taxation of each partner depends upon whether the partner is a corporation or an individual. If the
- 269 -
partner is a corporation, the dividend income is generally 95% tax-exempt provided the corporations
holds indirectly at least 10% of the registered share capital of the Company (see above “—Corporations”). If the indirect participation of the corporate partner is less than 10% the dividend in-come will be fully subject to corporate income tax. If the partner is an individual, only 60% of the divi-
dend income is subject to income tax (see above “—Sole Proprietors (Individuals)”).
If the shares form part of the business assets of a domestic permanent establishment of a trading or
deemed to be a trading (gewerblich geprägt) partnership, the full amount of the dividend income is
subject to trade tax at the level of the partnership. In the case of partners who are individuals, the
trade tax that the partnership pays on his or her proportion of the partnership’s income is generally credited as a lump sum – fully or in part – against the individual’s personal income tax liability. If the partnership held at least 15% of the Company’s registered share capital at the beginning of the rele-vant tax assessment period, the dividends are, in general, not subject to the trade tax. However, if the
partners are corporations, 5% of the dividend income is treated as non-deductible business expenses
will be subject to trade tax to the extent they are attributed on a look-through basis to corporate part-
ners holding at least 10% of the shares in the Company. The remaining portion of the dividend income
to other than the above specific corporate partners, i.e. corporate partners with an indirect sharehold-
ing of less than 10% and individuals, should under the literal reading of the trade tax law (after the
deduction of business expenses related thereto) not be subject to trade tax. .
Financial and Insurance Sector
Special rules apply to companies active in the financial and insurance sectors (see below “—Special
Treatment of Companies in the Financial and Insurance Sectors and Pension Funds”).
19.2.4 Taxation of Dividends of Shareholders domiciled in Foreign Countries
If shareholders (individual or corporation) who are not tax resident in Germany hold their shares as part
of the business assets through a permanent establishment or fixed place of business in Germany or as
part of the business assets for which a permanent representative in Germany has been appointed, the
same taxation rules that are applicable to resident shareholders apply. The withholding tax (including
solidarity surcharge) withheld and remitted to the German tax authorities is credited against the respec-
tive shareholder’s personal income tax or corporate income tax liability. If the amount withheld exceeds
the personal or corporate income tax liability, any excess amount is refunded. The same applies to the
solidarity surcharge. These shareholders are essentially subject to the same rules applicable to resident
shareholders holding their shares as business assets, as discussed above.
In all other cases, the withholding of the dividend withholding tax discharges any tax liability of the
shareholder in Germany. A refund or exemption is granted only as discussed in the section on divi-
dend withholding tax above (please see “Dividend Withholding Tax”).
19.3 Taxation of Capital Gains
19.3.1 Taxation of Capital Gains of Shareholders with a Tax Domicile in Germany
- 270 -
Shares and Subscription Rights Held as Private Assets
Capital gains from the sale of shares/subscription rights that are held as private assets by sharehold-
ers with a tax domicile in Germany, and which were acquired after December 31, 2008, are generally
taxable as income from capital investment irrespective of any holding period. The tax rate is a special,
flat tax rate of 25% plus the 5.5% solidarity surcharge thereon (as well as any church tax). The same
applies to capital gains from the sale of subscription rights granted for such shares. Losses on the sale
of such shares/subscription rights can only be used to offset gains made on the sale of
shares/subscription rights during the same year or in subsequent years. Losses on the sale of shares
may only be netted against gains on the sale of shares. Losses from the sale of subscription rights can
only be offset against positive private capital investment income.
In the view of tax authorities, the exercise of subscription rights is not considered as a sale of such
subscription rights. Shares acquired as a consequence of the exercise of subscription rights are
deemed to be acquired at a subscription price of EUR 0 at the time of exercise of the subscription
right.
If the shares or subscription rights were acquired and were held in a custodial account or administered
by a German Disbursing Agent, or if a German Disbursing Agent carries out the sale of the shares or
subscription rights and disburses or credits the sales proceeds, the tax on the sale is generally satisfied
by the German Disbursing Agent who withholds taxes in the amount of 25% (plus the 5.5% solidarity
surcharge thereon and any church tax) on the capital gain from the sales proceeds and remits them to
the tax authorities. If the shares were held in safekeeping or administered by the respective German
Disbursing Agent after acquisition, the amount of tax withheld is generally based on the difference be-
tween the proceeds from the sale, after deducting expenses that stand in direct relation to the sale, and
the amount paid to acquire the shares. However, the withholding tax rate of 25% (plus the 5.5% solidar-
ity surcharge thereon and any church tax) will be applied to 30% of the gross sales proceeds if the
shares were not administered by the same custodian bank since acquisition and the original cost of the
shares cannot be verified or such a verification is not valid. In this case, the shareholder is entitled to
verify the original costs of the shares in his annual tax return. In any case, the acquisition costs for sub-
scription rights granted by the Company are valued at EUR 0 for purposes of this calculation.
Upon the application of a shareholder who is subject to church tax, and who is within the framework of
the applicable regional church tax laws, the church tax on the capital gain is withheld by the German
Disbursing Agent, in which case the church tax liability is in general settled. An assessment to tax is
mandatory, where the tax was not levied by way of withholding, e.g., where the individual shareholder
is subject to church tax but church tax has not been withheld. The description on the collection of
church tax on dividends by way of withholding (please see above under Taxation of Dividends) applies
accordingly to church tax on capital gains.
A shareholder may request that all his items of capital investment income, along with his other taxable
income, be subject to the individual progressive income tax rate instead of the flat tax rate for private
capital investment income, if this lowers his tax burden. In this case, the withholding tax will be credit-
ed to the progressive income tax and any excess amount will be refunded. The non-deductibility of
- 271 -
income related expenses and the restrictions on offsetting losses also apply to a tax assessment at
the progressive income tax rate.
Shareholders/subscription rights holders can apply to have capital gains from the sale of their
shares/subscription rights taxed in accordance with the general rules for determining an individual’s tax bracket, rather than the system of final flat taxation if that would result in a lower tax burden. The
base for taxation would be the gross income less a lump-sum allowance of EUR 801.00
(EUR 1,602.00 for married couples filing jointly), with no deduction for costs actually incurred to gen-
erate the income. Any tax already withheld would be credited against the income tax so determined
and any overpayment refunded.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a shareholder or, in the case of a gratuitous transfer, any of the share-
holder’s legal predecessors held, directly or indirectly, at least 1% of the Company’s capital at any time
during the five years prior to the sale (a “Qualified Participation”), the capital gains on the sale of shares realized by such shareholder will be subject to the partial-income method and not the final Flat
Tax, with the result that 60% of the capital gains on the sale of shares will be taxable at the individual’s personal income tax rate, and 60% of the expenses economically related to the capital gains will be
deductible. The partial-income method should apply mutatis mutandis to capital gains or losses on
sales of subscription rights. In the case of a Qualified Participation, the “total value method” (Gesamtwertmethode) is used to determine the acquisition costs of the subscription rights. This is
based on the concept that the acquisition of the subscription rights was included in the acquisition of the
old shares. Accordingly, the granting of the subscription rights results in a splitting off part of the original
acquisition costs for the old shares, i.e., the acquisition costs of the old shares are reduced by the por-
tion attributable to the subscription rights split off. In the case of a Qualified Participation, withholding
tax is also withheld by the German Disbursing Agent. However, this does not discharge the share-
holder’s liability for taxes. Hence, the shareholder is obligated to declare the gain on the sale on his
income tax return. The withholding tax withheld and remitted (including solidarity surcharge) is credit-
ed against the shareholder’s income tax liability in the course of the tax assessment and any excess
amount is refunded. In the case of a Qualified Participation, the exercise of subscription rights should
also not be considered as a sale.
Under certain conditions, prior payments from the tax-recognized contribution account (steuerliches
Einlagekonto) may lead to reduced acquisition costs of the shares held as personal assets and, as a
consequence, increase the taxable capital gain.
Shares and Subscription Rights held as Business Assets
Capital gains from the sale of shares held by an individual or corporation as business assets are also
subject to the 25% withholding tax (plus the 5.5% solidarity surcharge thereon and any church tax) if
they are held in a custodial account or administered by a German Disbursing Agent, or if a German
Disbursing Agent carries out their sale. The tax withheld, however, is not treated as a final tax. In this
case, the amount of tax withheld can be also credited against the shareholder’s individual or corporate income tax liability and any overpayment refunded.
- 272 -
If the shares/subscription rights form part of a shareholder’s business assets, taxation of the capital gains realized will then depend upon whether the shareholder is a corporation, sole proprietor or part-
nership.
Corporations
In general, capital gains derived from the sale of shares by corporations domiciled in Germany are
95% exempt from corporate income tax (including the solidarity surcharge) and trade tax, irrespective
of the stake represented by the shares and the length of time the shares are held. However, 5% of the
capital gains is treated as a nondeductible business expense and, as such, is subject to corporate
income tax (plus the solidarity surcharge) and to trade tax. Losses from the sale of shares and any
other reductions in profit do not qualify as tax-deductible business expenses.
Capital gains realized by corporations on the sale of subscription rights are subject in full to corporate
income tax and trade tax. Losses from the sale of subscription rights and other reductions in profit
reduce the taxable income. The exercise of subscription rights should not be treated as a sale of sub-
scription rights.
Sole proprietor (individual)
If the shares/subscription rights are held as business assets of a tax resident sole proprietor (individual)
in Germany, 60% of the capital gains on their sale is subject to the individual’s tax bracket plus the soli-darity surcharge (partial-income method). Similarly, only 60% of losses from such sales and 60% of ex-
penses economically related to such sales are deductible. For church tax, if applicable, the partial-
income method does apply. If the shares/subscription rights are attributable to the permanent establish-
ment maintained in Germany by a trade, 60% of the capital gains are also subject to trade tax. The trade
tax is fully or partially credited as a lump sum against the shareholder’s personal income tax liability.
Partnerships
If the shareholder is a trading or deemed to be a trading (gewerblich geprägte) partnership, personal
income tax or corporate income tax, as the case may be, is assessed at the level of each partner ra-
ther than at the level of the partnership. The taxation of each partner depends upon whether the re-
spective partner is a corporation or an individual. If the partner is a corporation, the tax principles ap-
plying to capital gains which are outlined above apply. If the partner is an individual, the tax principles
applying to capital gains which are set out above apply. Upon application and provided that additional
prerequisites are met, an individual who is a partner can obtain a reduction of his personal income tax
rate for profits not withdrawn from the partnership.
In addition, capital gains from the sale of shares/subscription rights attributable to a permanent estab-
lishment maintained in Germany by a trading partnership are subject to trade tax at the level of the
partnership. As a rule, only 60% of the capital gains in this case are subject to trade tax if the profit-
share is attributed to partners in the partnership who are individuals, while 5% are subject to trade tax if
the profit share is attributed to partners who are corporations and shares are sold. Losses on sales and
other reductions in profit in connection with the shares/subscription rights sold are generally under the
principles discussed above not deductible or only partially deductible or in case of subscription rights
fully deductible, if the partner is a corporation. If the partner is an individual, the trade tax the partner-
- 273 -
ship pays on his or her share of the partnership’s income is generally credited as a lump sum — fully or
in part — against his or her personal income tax liability, depending on the tax rate imposed by the local
municipality and certain individual tax-relevant circumstances of the individual taxpayer.
Special rules apply to capital gains realized by companies active in the financial and insurance sec-
tors, as well as by pension funds, as described below.
When a German Disbursing Agent is involved, gains on the sale of shares or subscription rights held
as business assets are generally subject to withholding tax to the same extent as for a shareholder
whose shares or subscription rights are held as private assets (see the section entitled “—Taxation of
Capital Gains of Shareholders with a Tax Domicile in Germany—Shares and Subscription Rights Held
as Private Assets”). However, the German Disbursing Agent may refrain from withholding the with-holding tax if (i) the shareholder is a corporation, association (Personenvereinigung) or estate (Ver-
mögensmasse) with its tax domicile in Germany, or (ii) the shares form part of the shareholder’s do-mestic business assets, and the shareholder informs the disbursing agent of this on the officially pre-
scribed form and meets certain additional prerequisites. If the German Disbursing Agent nevertheless
withholds taxes, the withholding tax withheld and remitted (including solidarity surcharge) will be cred-
ited against the shareholder’s income tax or corporate income tax liability and any excess amount will
be refunded.
19.3.2 Taxation of Capital Gains of Shareholders domiciled in Foreign Countries
Capital gains realized by a shareholder with no tax domicile in Germany are subject to German in-
come tax only if the selling shareholder holds a Qualified Participation or if the shares form part of the
business assets of a permanent establishment in Germany or of business assets for which a perma-
nent representative is appointed.
Most double taxation treaties provide for an exemption from German taxation of capital gains and as-
sign the right of taxation to the shareholder’s country of domicile. In the opinion of the German tax authorities, in case of a Qualified Participation there is no duty to levy withholding tax.
19.4 Special Treatment of Companies in the Financial and Insurance Sectors and Pension
Funds
If credit institutions (Kreditinstitute) or financial services institutions (Finanzdienstleistungsinstitute) hold or
sell shares that are allocable to their trading book (Handelsbestand) within the meaning of the German
Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) then neither the 95% exemption from corporate income tax nor
the partial-income method will apply to dividends or capital gains or capital gains, i.e. dividend income and
capital gains are fully subject to corporate income tax. Correspondingly, capital losses can be offset in full
for tax purposes. The same applies to financial company (Finanzunternehmen) within the meaning of the
German Banking Act (Gesetz über das Kreditwesen) if credit institutions (Kreditinstitute) or financial ser-
vices institutions (Finanzdienstleistungsinstitute) directly or indirectly hold a participation of more than 50%
in such financial company and if the shares have to be recorded in the current assets (Umlaufvermögen) of
the financial company at the time of the initial recording. The dividends may be tax exempt from trade tax if
- 274 -
a participation of at least 15% is held in the Company's share capital at the beginning of the relevant tax
assessment period. Further, the tax exemption for corporations for dividend income and capital gains from
the sale of shares, does not apply to shares that qualify as a capital investment in the case of life insurance
and health insurance companies, or those which are held by pension funds. For theses shareholders an
exemption from trade tax in case of a participation of 15% in the Company's share capital is also not avail-
able.
19.5 Inheritance and Gift Tax
The transfer of shares/subscription rights to another person by will or gift is generally subject to Ger-
man inheritance and gift tax only if
(i) the decedent, donor, heir, beneficiary or other transferee maintained his or her domicile or
usual residence in Germany, or had its place of management or registered office in Germany
at the time of the transfer, or is a German citizen who has spent no more than five consecu-
tive years outside Germany without maintaining a residence in Germany (special rules apply
to certain former German citizens who neither maintain their domicile nor have their usual
residence in Germany),
(ii) the shares or subscription rights were held by the decedent or donor as part of business as-
sets for which a permanent establishment was maintained in Germany or for which a perma-
nent representative in Germany had been appointed, or
(iii) the decedent or donor, either individually or collectively with related parties, held, directly or
indirectly, at least 10% of the Company’s registered share capital at the time of the inher-itance or gift.
The few German double taxation treaties relating to inheritance tax and gift tax currently in force usu-
ally provide that the German inheritance tax or gift tax can only be levied in the cases of (i) above, and
also with certain restrictions in case of (ii) above. Special provisions apply to certain German nationals
living outside of Germany and former German nationals.
19.6 Other Taxes
No German transfer tax, value-added tax, stamp duty or similar taxes are assessed on the purchase,
sale or other transfer of shares or subscription rights. Provided that certain requirements are met, an
entrepreneur may, however, opt for the payment of value added tax on transactions that are otherwise
tax-exempt. Net wealth tax (Vermögensteuer) is currently not imposed in Germany.
The European Commission and certain EU Member States (including Germany) intend to introduce a
financial transaction tax (“FTT”) (presumably on secondary market transaction on financial transac-tions involving at least one financial intermediary). It is currently uncertain if and when the proposed
FTT will be enacted by the participating EU Member States.

AUDITOR´S REPORT To De Raj Group AG, Cologne As a result of our audit for the hereby certified annual financial statements in exhibits 1 to 3 of De Raj Group AG, Cologne, as at 31 December 2016 we issue the following unqualified Auditor´s Report: "We have audited the annual financial statements, comprising the balance sheet, the income state-ment and the notes together with the bookkeeping system of De Raj Group AG, Cologne, for the busi-ness year from 1 January to 31 December 2016. The maintenance of the books and records and the preparation of the annual financial statements in accordance with German commercial law are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the annual financial statements, together with the bookkeeping system, based on our audit. We conducted our audit of the annual financial statements in accordance with § 317 HGB ("Han-delsgesetzbuch": "German Commercial Code") and German generally accepted standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (Institute of Public Auditors in Germany) (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit such that misstate-ments materially affecting the presentation of the net assets, financial position and results of opera-tions in the annual financial statements in accordance with German principles of proper accounting are detected with reasonable assurance. Knowledge of the business activities and the economic and legal environment of the Company and expectations as to possible misstatements are taken into account in the determination of audit procedures. The effectiveness of the accounting-related internal control system and the evidence supporting the disclosures in the books and records, the annual financial statements are examined primarily on a test basis within the framework of the audit. The audit in-cludes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the annual financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit has not led to any reservations. In our opinion, based on the findings of our audit, the annual financial statements comply with the legal requirements and give a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the Company in accordance with German principles of proper accounting."

The maintenance of the books and records and the preparation of the annual financial statements in accordance with German commercial law are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the annual financial statements, together with the bookkeeping system, based on our audit. We conducted our audit of the annual financial statements in accordance with § 317 HGB ("Han-delsgesetzbuch": "German Commercial Code") and German generally accepted standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (Institute of Public Auditors in Germany) (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit such that misstate-ments materially affecting the presentation of the net assets, financial position and results of opera-tions in the annual financial statements in accordance with German principles of proper accounting are detected with reasonable assurance. Knowledge of the business activities and the economic and legal environment of the Company and expectations as to possible misstatements are taken into account in the determination of audit procedures. The effectiveness of the accounting-related internal control system and the evidence supporting the disclosures in the books and records, the annual financial statements are examined primarily on a test basis within the framework of the audit. The audit in-cludes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the annual financial statements.

6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
6.1 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the director and management and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and judgements that af-fect the application of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures, and have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and ex-penses are discussed below:- Depreciation of Plant and Equipment The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation charges for the plant and equipment are based on commercial factors which could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitors‟ actions in response to the market conditions. The Company anticipates that the residual values of its plant and equipment will be insignificant. As a result, residual values are not being taken into consideration for the computation of the depreciable amount. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.
Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables An impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. Management specifically reviews its loan and receivables financial assets and analyses historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in the customer payment terms when making a judgment to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for impairment losses. Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. If the expectation is different from the estimation, such differ-ence will impact the carrying value of receivables.
Fair Value Estimates for Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities The Company carries certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, which requires exten-sive use of accounting estimates and judgement. While significant components of fair value meas-urement were determined using verifiable objective evidence, the amount of changes in fair value would differ if the Company uses different valuation methodologies. Any changes in fair value of these assets and liabilities would affect profit and/or equity.
Functional Currency The functional currency of the Company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The financial statements of the Company are presented in United States Dollar (USD), which is the Company‟s functional and presentation currency. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into the respective functional currencies on initial recognition, using the exchange rates at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period are translated at the exchange rates ruling as of that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates that existed when the values were deter-mined. All exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.
6.2 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
F-30
Financial instruments are classified as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and their definitions in MFRS 132. Interest, dividends and gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as liability, are reported as expenses or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are recognised directly in equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and in-tends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. A financial instrument is recognised initially at its fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument (other than a financial instru-ment at fair value through profit or loss) are added to/deducted from the fair value on initial recogni-tion, as appropriate. Transaction costs on the financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss. Financial instruments recognised in the statement of financial position are disclosed in the individual policy statement associated with each item. Financial Assets
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables financial assets, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this cate-gory. Held-to-maturity Investments As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this cate-gory. Loans and Receivables Financial Assets Trade receivables and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables financial assets. Loans and receivables financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment loss. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the ex-pected life of the financial asset, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Loans and receivables financial assets are classified as current assets, except for those having settlement dates later than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. Available-for-sale Financial Assets As at the end of reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category.
Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
F-31
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liabil-ity, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Equity Instruments Equity instruments classified as equity are measured at cost and are not remeasured subse-quently. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when approved for appropriation.
Derecognition A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (includ-ing any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in profit or loss. A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation speci-fied in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liabil-ity, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabili-ties assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
6.3 INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATED COMPANY An associated company is an entity in which the Company has a long-term equity interest and where it exercises significant influence over the financial and operating policies. Investments in associated company are stated at cost in the statement of financial position of the Company, and are reviewed for impairment at the end of the reporting period if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs.
6.4 PLANT AND EQUIPMENT All items of plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. Cost includes expenditure that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Subsequent to initial recognition, all plant and equipment, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset‟s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of parts that are replaced is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Depreciation on plant and equipment is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line method to write off the depreciable amount of the assets over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation of an asset does not cease when the asset becomes idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully depreciated. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are:-
F-32
Offshore drilling and production equip-ment 6.67% Production operator and fuel gas equip-ment 6.67% The depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the amounts, method and periods of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of the plant and equipment. Any changes are accounted for as change in estimate.
When significant parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are account-ed for as separate items of plant and equipment. An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of the asset is recognised in prof-it or loss.
6.5 IMPAIRMENT
Impairment of Financial Assets All financial assets (other than those categorised at fair value through profit or loss), are as-sessed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence of impair-ment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. For an equity instrument, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost is considered to be an objective evidence of impairment. An impairment loss in respect of held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables fi-nancial assets is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset‟s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial as-set‟s original effective interest rate.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recog-nised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets The carrying values of assets, other than those to which MFRS 136 - Impairment of Assets does not apply, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period for impairment when an annual im-pairment assessment is compulsory or there is an indication that the assets might be im-paired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recov-erable amounts. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss shall be recognised. The recoverable amount of the assets is the higher of the assets' fair value less costs to sell and their value-in-use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flow using a pre-tax discount rate. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. When there is a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, a subse-quent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as a reversal of the previous im-pairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
6.6 INVENTORIES
F-33
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is comprises the purchase price and incidentals incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of comple-tion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
6.7 INCOME TAXES Current Tax Current tax assets and liabilities are expected amount of income tax recoverable or payable to the taxation authorities. Current taxes are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity).
Deferred Tax Deferred tax are recognised using the liability method for all temporary differences other than those that arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be uti-lised. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be real-ised.
Current and deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transactions either in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Current tax assets and liabilities or deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legal-ly enforceable right to set off current tax asset against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
6.8 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value with original maturity periods of three months or less. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts.
6.9 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Short-term Benefits Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and bonuses are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the associated services are rendered by em-ployees of the Company.
Defined Contribution Plans
F-34
The Company‟s contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in profit or loss in the period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further liability in respect of the defined contribution plans.
6.10 RELATED PARTIES A party is related to an entity (referred to as the “reporting entity”) if:- A person or a close member of that person‟s family is related to a reporting entity if that person:-
has control or joint control over the reporting entity; has significant influence over the reporting entity; or is a member of the key management personnel of the reporting entity or of a parent of the reporting entity.
Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be ex-pected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the reporting entity.
An entity is related to a reporting entity if any of the following conditions applies:-
The entity and the reporting entity are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others). One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member). Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party. One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity. The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the reporting entity or an entity related to the reporting entity. If the reporting entity is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the reporting entity. The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a) above. A person identified in (a)(i) above has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the enti-ty). The entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity.
Related parties also include key management personnel defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the reporting entity either directly or indirectly, including its director (whether executive or otherwise) of that entity.
6.11 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique. The measurement assumes that the transaction takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a market participant‟s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market par-ticipant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
For financial reporting purposes, the fair value measurements are analysed into level 1 to level 3 as follows:-
Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liability that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2: Inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
F-35
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The transfer of fair value between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
6.12 REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue represents rental income earned from charter of production separator and fuel gas equipment. Rental income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the agreement entered into.
6.13 OPERATING LEASES Leases other than finance leases are classified as operating leases. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as an expenses in the income statement on a staright line basis over the lease period. Lease income is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease period.

Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence and Other Ethical Responsibilities We are independent of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional Ethics, Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“By- Laws”) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code. Responsibilities of Directors for the Financial Statements The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of Labuan Companies Act, 1990 in Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Company that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements of the Company, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Company as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:- • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the
Company, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of ac-
counting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also (Cont’d):-
F-43
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements of the Company or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the
Company, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the Company represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. OTHER MATTERS This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 117(1) of the Labuan Companies Act, 1990 in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.

6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
6.1 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the director and management and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of fu-ture events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The esti-mates and judgements that affect the application of the Company's accounting poli-cies and disclosures, and have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed be-low:-
(a) Depreciation of Plant and Equipment
The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation charges for the plant and equipment are based on commercial factors which could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitors’ actions in response to the market conditions. The Company anticipates that the residual values of its plant and equipment will be insignificant. As a result, residual values are not being taken into consideration for the computation of the depreciable amount. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.
(b) Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables
An impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that a fi-nancial asset is impaired. Management specifically reviews its loan and re-ceivables financial assets and analyses historical bad debts, customer con-centrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in the customer payment terms when making a judgment to evaluate the ade-quacy of the allowance for impairment losses. Where there is objective evi-dence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimat-ed based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk char-acteristics. If the expectation is different from the estimation, such difference will impact the carrying value of receivables.
(c) Fair Value Estimates for Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company carries certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, which requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgement. While signifi-cant components of fair value measurement were determined using verifiable objective evidence, the amount of changes in fair value would differ if the Company uses different valuation methodologies. Any changes in fair value of these assets and liabilities would affect profit and/or equity.
6.2 FUNCTIONAL AND FOREIGN CURRENCY
(a) Functional and Presentation Currency
The functional currency of the Company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.
The financial statements of the Company are presented in United States Dollar (USD), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
(b) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
F-51
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into the respective functional currencies on initial recognition, using the exchange rates at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period are translated at the exchange rates ruling as of that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates that existed when the values were determined. All exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.
6.3 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial instruments are classified as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and their definitions in MFRS 132. Interest, dividends and gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as liability, are reported as expenses or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are recognised directly in equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right to off-set and intends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. A financial instrument is recognised initially at its fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument (other than a financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss) are added to/deducted from the fair value on initial recognition, as appropriate. Transaction costs on the financial in-strument at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss. Financial instruments recognised in the statement of financial position are disclosed in the individual policy statement associated with each item.
(a) Financial Assets
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and re-ceivables financial assets, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropri-ate. (i) Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category.
(ii) Held-to-maturity Investments
As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category.
(iii) Loans and Receivables Financial Assets
Trade receivables and other receivables that have fixed or determi-nable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables financial assets. Loans and receivables fi-nancial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective in-terest method, less any impairment loss. Interest income is recog-nised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term re-ceivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.
F-52
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the rele-vant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimat-ed future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the finan-cial asset, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Loans and receivables financial assets are classified as current as-sets, except for those having settlement dates later than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets.
(iv) Available-for-sale Financial Assets As at the end of reporting period, there were no financial assets clas-sified under this category.
(b) Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effec-tive interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropri-ate, a shorter period. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
(c) Equity Instruments
Equity instruments classified as equity are measured at cost and are not re-measured subsequently. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when approved for appropriation.
(d) Derecognition
A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the con-tractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration re-ceived (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
(d) Derecognition (Cont’d)
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the ob-ligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. On de-recognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the
F-53
consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities as-sumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
6.4 INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATED COMPANY
An associated company is an entity in which the Company has a long-term equity in-terest and where it exercises significant influence over the financial and operating pol-icies. Investments in associated company are stated at cost in the statement of financial po-sition of the Company, and are reviewed for impairment at the end of the reporting pe-riod if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs.
6.5 PLANT AND EQUIPMENT All items of plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. Cost includes
expenditure that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use.
Subsequent to initial recognition, all plant and equipment, are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a
separate asset, as appropriate, only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of parts that are replaced is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation on plant and equipment is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line
method to write off the depreciable amount of the assets over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation of an asset does not cease when the asset becomes idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully depreciated. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are:-
Offshore drilling and production equipment 6.67%
Production operator and fuel gas equipment 6.67%
The depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the amounts, method and periods of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of the plant and equipment. Any changes are accounted for as change in estimate. When significant parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of plant and equipment.
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of the asset is recognised in profit or loss.
6.6 IMPAIRMENT
(a) Impairment of Financial Assets
All financial assets (other than those categorised at fair value through profit or loss), are assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. For an equity instru-ment, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost is consid-ered to be an objective evidence of impairment.
F-54
An impairment loss in respect of held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effec-tive interest rate.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the im-pairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is re-versed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the fi-nancial asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
(b) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The carrying values of assets, other than those to which MFRS 136 - Impair-ment of Assets does not apply, are reviewed at the end of each reporting pe-riod for impairment when an annual impairment assessment is compulsory or there is an indication that the assets might be impaired. Impairment is meas-ured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount and an impair-ment loss shall be recognised. The recoverable amount of the assets is the higher of the assets' fair value less costs to sell and their value-in-use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flow using a pre-tax dis-count rate. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the re-coverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. When there is a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as a reversal of the previous impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
6.7 INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is comprises the purchase price and incidentals incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
6.8 INCOME TAXES
(a) Current Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are expected amount of income tax recover-able or payable to the taxation authorities.
Current taxes are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been en-acted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and are rec-ognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items rec-ognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity).
F-55
(b) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax are recognised using the liability method for all temporary differ-ences other than those that arise from the initial recognition of an asset or lia-bility in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
(a) Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are ex-pected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is set-tled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differ-ences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting pe-riod and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realised.
(i)
Current and deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transac-tions either in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax assets and liabilities or deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax asset against current tax liabili-ties and when the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxa-tion authority.
6.9 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value with original maturity periods of three months or less. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts.
6.10 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
(a) Short-term Benefits
Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and bonuses are measured on an undis-counted basis and are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Company.
(b) Defined Contribution Plans
The Company’s contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in profit or loss in the period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further liability in respect of the defined contribu-tion plans.
6.11 RELATED PARTIES

Related parties also include key management personnel defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the reporting entity either directly or indirectly, including its director (whether execu-tive or otherwise) of that entity.
6.12 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a lia-bility in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique. The measurement assumes that the transaction takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a mar-ket participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
For financial reporting purposes, the fair value measurements are analysed into level
1 to level 3 as follows:-
Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liability that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2: Inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The transfer of fair value between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
6.13 REVENUE RECOGNITION

from interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities. The Company's policy is to obtain the most favourable interest rates available.
The interest rate risk sensitivity analysis on the fixed rate instrument is not disclosed as this financial instrument is measured at amortised cost.

Effects On Profit After Taxation/Equity Increase of 100 basis points (378,125) (481,250) Decrease of 100 basis points 378,125 481,250
(iii) Equity Price Risk
The Company does not have any quoted investments and hence is not exposed to equity price risk.
(b) Credit Risk
The Company’s exposure to credit risk, or the risk of counterparties default-ing, arises mainly from related company. The Company manages its expo-sure to credit risk by the application of credit approvals, credit limits and moni-toring procedures on an ongoing basis. For other financial assets (including cash and bank balances), the Company minimises credit risk by dealing ex-clusively with high credit rating counterparties. (i) Credit Risk Concentration Profile
The Company’s major concentration of credit risk relates to the amount owing by related company which constituted approximately 100% of total receivables as at the end of the reporting period.
(ii) Exposure to Credit Risk
As the Company does not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets as at the end of the reporting period.
(c) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises mainly from general funding and business activities. The Company practises prudent risk management by maintaining sufficient cash balances and the availability of funding through certain committed credit facili-ties.

25.2 CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities within the Company will be able to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to support its businesses and max-imise shareholders value. To achieve this objective, the Company may make adjust-ments to the capital structure in view of changes in economic conditions, such as ad-justing the amount of dividend payment, returning of capital to shareholders or issuing new shares.
The Company manages its capital based on debt-to-equity ratio. The Company's strategies were unchanged from the previous financial year. The debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as total external interest-bearing borrowings (excluding inter-company and director advances) less cash and cash equivalents divided by total equity.
The debt-to-equity ratio of the Company at the end of the reporting period was as follows: 2016 2015 USD USD Term loan 37,812,500 48,125,000 Less: Cash and cash equivalents (2,811,168) (10,023,260) Total debt 35,001,332 38,101,740

25.4 FAIR VALUE INFORMATIONS
At the end of the reporting period, there were no financial instruments carried at fair values. The fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities approximated their carrying amounts due to relatively short-term maturity of the financial instruments (maturing within the next 12 months). The fair values are determined by discounting the relevant cash flows at rates equal to the current market interest rate plus appropriate credit rating, where necessary. The fair values are included in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the non-current portion of term loan equal their carrying amount as the impact of discounting is not material. The fair values are determined on cash flows discounted using the current market interest rate plus appropriate credit rating and are within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

26. PRESENTATION CURRENCY
The financial statements comply with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, Except for MFRS 121 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates which requires the presentation currency for the financial statements presented in Malaysia to be in Ringgit Malaysia. This requirement was for the purpose of harmonisation with local law. As the Labuan Companies Act, 1990 does not require or specify any particular currency for the preparation of financial statements, the requirement for the presentation currency to be in Ringgit Malaysia would not serve any regulatory purpose. In this respect, the presentation currency of these financial statements is in United States Dollar.

The above accounting standards and interpretations (including the consequential amendments) are not relevant to the Company’s operations. 6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 6.1 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the director and management and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and judgements that affect the application of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures, and have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed below:- (a) Depreciation of Plant and Equipment The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation charges for the plant and equipment are based on commercial factors which could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitors’ actions in response to the market conditions. The Company anticipates that the residual values of its plant and equipment will be insignificant. As a result, residual values are not being taken into consideration for the computation of the depreciable amount. Changes in the ex-pected level of usage and technological development could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. (b) Write-down of Inventories
F-80
Reviews are made periodically by management on damaged, obsolete and slow-moving inventories. These reviews require judgement and estimates. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of inventories. (c) Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables An impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. Management specifically reviews its loan and receivables financial assets and analyses historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in the customer payment terms when making a judgment to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for impairment losses. Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk charac-teristics. If the expectation is different from the estimation, such difference will impact the carrying value of receivables. (d) Fair Value Estimates for Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities The Company carries certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, which requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgement. While significant components of fair value measurement were determined using verifiable objective evidence, the amount of changes in fair value would differ if the Company uses different valuation methodologies. Any changes in fair value of these assets and liabili-ties would affect profit and/or equity. 6.2 FUNCTIONAL AND FOREIGN CURRENCY
(c) Functional and Presentation Currency The functional currency of the Company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The financial statements of the Company are presented in United States Dollar (USD), which is the functional and presentation currency.
(d) Transactions and Balances Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into the respective functional currencies on initial recognition, using the exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period are translated at the rates ruling as of that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates that existed when the values were determined. All exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss. 6.3 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are classified as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments in ac-cordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends and gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as liability, are reported as expenses or income. Distribu-tions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are recognised directly in equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and in-tends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. A financial instrument is recognised initially at its fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attribut-able to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument (other than a financial instrument at fair val-ue through profit or loss) are added to/deducted from the fair value on initial recognition, as appropri-ate. Transaction costs on the financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss. Financial instruments recognised in the statement of financial position are disclosed in the individual policy statement associated with each item.
F-81
(a) Financial Assets On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through prof-it or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables financial assets, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. (i) Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category. (ii) Held-to-maturity Investments As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category. (iii) Loans and Receivables Financial Assets Trade receivables and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables financial assets. Loans and receivables financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impair-ment loss. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Loans and receivables financial assets are classified as current assets except for those having settle-ment dates later than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. (iv) Available-for-sale Financial Assets As at the end of reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category. (b) Financial Liabilities All financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method other than those catego-rised as fair value through profit or loss. Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are either held for trading or are designated to eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. (c) Equity Instruments Equity instruments classified as equity are measured at cost and are not remeasured subsequently. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in eq-uity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when approved for appropriation. (d) Derecognition A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without retain-ing control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recog-nised in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
F-82
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. 6.4 INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATED COMPANY An associated company is an entity in which the Company has a long-term equity interest and where it exercises significant influence over the financial and operating policies. Investments in associated company are stated at cost in the statement of financial position of the Company, and are reviewed for impairment at the end of the reporting period if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. 6.5 PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is charged to profit or loss on the straight-line method to write off the depreciable amount of these assets over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation of an asset does not cease when the asset becomes idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully depreciated. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are:- Offshore drilling and production equipment 6.67% Production operator and fuel gas equipment 6.67% The depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the amounts, method and periods of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of the plant and equipment. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that the future economic benefits associ-ated with the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of parts that are replaced is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Cost also comprises the initial estimate of dis-mantling and removing the asset and restoring the site on which it is located for which the Company is obligated to incur when the asset is acquired, if applicable. An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of the asset is recognised in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 6.6 IMPAIRMENT (a) Impairment of Financial Assets All financial assets (other than those categorised at fair value through profit or loss and investments in associates), are assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. An impairment loss in respect of held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables financial as-sets is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s origi-nal effective interest rate. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recog-

nised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial assets at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. (b) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets The carrying values of assets, other than those to which MFRS 136 - Impairment of Assets does not apply, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period for impairment when there is an indication that the assets might be impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount of the assets is the higher of the assets' fair value less costs to sell and their value-in-use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flow. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. When there is a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as a reversal of the previous impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recog-nised in profit or loss immediately. 6.7 INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is comprises the purchase price and incidentals incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 6.8 INCOME TAX Income tax on the profit for the financial year comprises current income tax. Current income tax liabili-ties is the expected amount of the income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the finan-cial year and is measured using the rates that have been enacted at the end of the reporting period. 6.9 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value with original maturity periods of three months or less. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdraft. 6.10 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits are meas-ured on an undiscounted basis and are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the associat-ed services are rendered by employees of the Company. 6.11 RELATED PARTIES A party is related to an entity (referred to as the “reporting entity”) if:- (a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to a reporting entity if that per-
son:-

Related parties also include key management personnel defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the reporting entity either di-rectly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of that entity. 6.12 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique. The measurement assumes that the transaction takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a market’s participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. For financial reporting purposes, the fair value measurements are analysed into level 1 to level 3 as follows: Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liability that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The transfer of fair value between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in cir-cumstances that caused the transfer. 6.13 REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue represents rental income earned from charter of production separator and fuel gas equip-ment. Rental income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the agreement entered into. 6.14 OPERATING LEASES

(ii) Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk arises mainly from interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities. The Company's policy is to obtain the most favourable interest rates available. The interest rate risk sensitivity analysis on the fixed rate instrument is not disclosed as this financial instrument is measured at amortised cost. Interest Rate Risk Sensitivity Analysis The following table details the sensitivity analysis to a reasonably possible change in the interest rates at the end of the reporting period, with all other variables held constant:- 2015 2014 Increase/(Decrease) Increase/ (Decrease) USD USD Effects On Profit After Taxation/Equity Increase of 100 basis points (481,250) (235,500) Decrease of 100 basis points 481,250 235,500
(iii) Equity Price Risk
F-95
The Company does not have any quoted investments and hence is not exposed to equity price risk. (b) Credit Risk The Company’s exposure to credit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, arises mainly from other receivables. The Company manages its exposure to credit risk by the application of credit ap-provals, credit limits and monitoring procedures on an ongoing basis. For other financial assets (in-cluding quoted investments, cash and bank balances and derivatives), the Company minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties.
(iii) Credit Risk Concentration Profile The Company’s major concentration of credit risk relates to the amount owing by holding company, related companies and related parties which constituted approximately 100% of total receivables as at the end of the reporting period.
(iv) Exposure to Credit Risk As the Company does not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets as at the end of the reporting period. (c) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk arises mainly from general funding and business activities. The Company practises pru-dent risk management by maintaining sufficient cash balances and the availability of funding through certain committed credit facilities. Maturity Analysis The following table sets out the maturity profile of the financial liabilities as at the end of the reporting period based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payment computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on the rate at the end of the reporting period:- Weighted Average Contractual Over Effective Carrying Undis-

26.2 CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities within the Company will be able to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to support its businesses and maximise shareholders value. To achieve this objective, the Company may make adjustments to the capital structure in view of changes in economic conditions, such as adjusting the amount of dividend payment, returning of capital to shareholders or issuing new shares. The Company manages its capital based on debt-to-equity ratio. The Company's strategies were un-changed from the previous financial year. The debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as total external inter-est-bearing borrowings (excluding inter-company and director advances) less cash and cash equiva-lents divided by total equity. The debt-to-equity ratio of the Company at the end of the reporting period was as follows:
2015 2014 USD USD Term loan 48,125,000 31,400,000 Less: Cash and cash equivalents (10,023,260) (2,283)

26.4 FAIR VALUE INFORMATIONS At the end of the reporting period, there were no financial instruments carried at fair values. The fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities approximated their carrying amounts due to relatively short-term maturity of the financial instruments (maturing within the next 12 months). The fair values are determined by discounting the relevant cash flows at rates equal to the current market interest rate plus appropriate credit rating, where necessary. The fair values are included in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the non-current portion of term loan equal their carrying amount as the impact of discounting is not material. The fair values are determined on cash flows discounted using the current market interest rate plus appropriate credit rating and are within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 27. PRESENTATION CURRENCY The financial statements comply with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, Except for MFRS 121 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates which requires the presentation currency for the financial statements presented in Malaysia to be in Ringgit Malaysia. This requirement was for the purpose of harmonisation with local law. As the Labuan Companies Act, 1990 does not require or specify any particular currency for the preparation of financial statements, the requirement for the
F-98
presentation currency to be in Ringgit Malaysia would not serve any regulatory purpose. In this re-spect, the presentation currency of this financial statements is in United States Dollar.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
5.1 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the director and management and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of fu-ture events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The esti-mates and judgements that affect the application of the Company's accounting poli-cies and disclosures, and have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed be-low:-
(a) Depreciation of Plant and Equipment
The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation charges for the plant and equipment are based on commercial factors which could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitors’ actions in response to the market conditions.
F-108
The Company anticipates that the residual values of its plant and equipment will be insignificant. As a result, residual values are not being taken into consideration for the computation of the depreciable amount.
Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.
(b) Write-down of Inventories
Reviews are made periodically by management on damaged, obsolete and slow-moving inventories. These reviews require judgement and estimates. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of inventories.
(c) Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables
An impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that a fi-nancial asset is impaired. Management specifically reviews its loan and re-ceivables financial assets and analyses historical bad debts, customer con-centrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in the customer payment terms when making a judgment to evaluate the ade-quacy of the allowance for impairment losses. Where there is objective evi-dence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimat-ed based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk char-acteristics. If the expectation is different from the estimation, such difference will impact the carrying value of receivables.
(d) Fair Value Estimates for Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company carries certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, which requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgement. While signifi-cant components of fair value measurement were determined using verifiable objective evidence, the amount of changes in fair value would differ if the Company uses different valuation methodologies. Any changes in fair value of these assets and liabilities would affect profit and/or equity.
5.2 Functional and Foreign Currency
(e) Functional and Presentation Currency
The functional currency of the Company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.
The financial statements of the Company are presented in United States Dollar (USD), which is the functional and presentation currency.
(f) Transactions and Balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into the respective functional currencies on initial recognition, using the exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period are translated at the rates ruling as of that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates that existed when the values were determined. All exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.
5.3 Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
F-109
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends and gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as liability, are reported as expenses or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are recognised directly in equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. A financial instrument is recognised initially at its fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument (other than a financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss) are added to/deducted from the fair value on initial recognition, as appropriate. Transaction costs on the financial in-strument at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss. Financial instruments recognised in the statement of financial position are disclosed in the individual policy statement associated with each item.
(a) Financial Assets
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and re-ceivables financial assets, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropri-ate. (i) Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category.
(ii) Held-to-maturity Investments
As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category.
(iii) Loans and Receivables Financial Assets
Trade receivables and other receivables that have fixed or determi-nable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables financial assets. Loans and receivables fi-nancial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective in-terest method, less any impairment loss. Interest income is recog-nised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term re-ceivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Loans and receivables financial assets are classified as current as-sets except for those having settlement dates later than 12 months af-ter the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets.
(iv) Available-for-sale Financial Assets As at the end of reporting period, there were no financial assets clas-sified under this category.
(b) Financial Liabilities All financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus directly attributa-ble transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method other than those categorised as fair value through profit or loss.
F-110
Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are either held for trading or are designated to eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise. Deriva-tives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
(c) Equity Instruments
Instruments classified as equity are measured at cost and are not remeasured subsequently. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordi-nary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when approved for appropriation.
(d) Derecognition
A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the con-tractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration re-ceived (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the ob-ligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. On de-recognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities as-sumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
5.4 Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses, if any. Depreciation is charged to profit or loss on the straight-line method to write off the
depreciable amount of these assets over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation of an asset does not cease when the asset becomes idle or is retired
from active use unless the asset is fully depreciated. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are:-
% Offshore drilling and production equipment 6.67
Production operator and fuel gas equipment 6.67
The depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the amounts, method and periods of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of the plant and equipment.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that the
F-111
future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of parts that are replaced is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Cost also comprises the initial estimate of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site on which it is located for which the Company is obligated to incur when the asset is acquired, if applicable.
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of the asset is recognised in statement of comprehensive income.
5.5 Impairment
(a) Impairment of Financial Assets
All financial assets (other than those categorised at fair value through profit or loss), are assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. An impairment loss in respect of held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effec-tive interest rate.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the im-pairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is re-versed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the fi-nancial assets at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
(b) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The carrying values of assets, other than those to which MFRS 136 - Impair-ment of Assets does not apply, are reviewed at the end of each reporting pe-riod for impairment when there is an indication that the assets might be im-paired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the as-sets with their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount of the assets is the higher of the assets' fair value less costs to sell and their value-in-use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flow. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. When there is a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as a reversal of the previous impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recog-nised. The reversal is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
5.6 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is comprises the purchase price and incidentals incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
5.7 Income Tax
F-112
Income tax on the profit for the financial year comprises current income tax. Current income tax liabilities is the expected amount of the income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the financial year and is measured using the rates that have been enacted at the end of the reporting period.
5.8 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, demand deposits, bank overdrafts and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value with original maturity periods of three months or less.
5.9 Employee Benefits
Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary bene-fits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Company.
5.10 Related Parties

5.11 Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique. The measurement assumes that the transaction takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a market’s participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the
F-113
asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
For financial reporting purposes, the fair value measurements are analysed into level
1 to level 3 as follows:
Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liability that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2: Inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The transfer of fair value between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
5.12 Revenue Recognition
Revenue represents rental income earned from charter of production separator and fuel gas equipment. Rental income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the agreement entered into.

(ii) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market inter-est rates. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk arises mainly from interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities. The Company's policy is to obtain the most favourable interest rates available. Information relating to the Company's exposure to the interest rate risk of the financial liabilities is disclosed in Note 24.1(c) to the finan-cial statements. The interest rate risk sensitivity analysis on the fixed rate instrument is not disclosed as this financial instrument is measured at amortised cost.
Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk The following table details the sensitivity analysis to a reasonably possible change in the interest rates at the end of the reporting peri-od, with all other variables held constant:-

Effects On Profit After Taxation/Equity Increase of 100 basis points (bp) (235,500) - Decrease of 100 bp 235,500 -
(iii) Equity Price Risk
The Company does not have any quoted investments and hence is not exposed to equity price risk.
F-121
(b) Credit Risk
The Company’s exposure to credit risk, or the risk of counterparties default-ing, arises mainly from other receivables. The Company manages its expo-sure to credit risk by the application of credit approvals, credit limits and moni-toring procedures on an ongoing basis. For other financial assets (including quoted investments, cash and bank balances and derivatives), the Company minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterpar-ties. Credit risk concentration profile The Company’s major concentration of credit risk relates to the amount owing by holding company, related companies and related parties which constituted approximately 100% of total receivables as at the end of the reporting period.
Exposure to credit risk As the Company does not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to cred-it risk is represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets as at the end of the reporting period.
(c) Liquidity Risks
Liquidity risk arises mainly from general funding and business activities. The Company practises prudent risk management by maintaining sufficient cash balances and the availability of funding through certain committed credit facili-ties. The following table sets out the maturity profile of the financial liabilities as at the end of the reporting period based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payment computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on the rate at the end of the reporting period:-

24.2 Capital Risk Management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities within the Company will be able to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to support its businesses and max-imise shareholders value. To achieve this objective, the Company may make adjust-ments to the capital structure in view of changes in economic conditions, such as ad-justing the amount of dividend payment, returning of capital to shareholders or issuing new shares.
The Company manages its capital based on debt-to-equity ratio. The Company's strategies were unchanged from the previous financial year. The debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as total external interest-bearing borrowings (excluding inter-company and director advances) less cash and cash equivalents divided by total equity.
The debt-to-equity ratio of the Company at the end of the reporting period was as follows:
F-123
2014 2013 USD USD
Term loan 31,400,000 - Less: Cash and cash equivalents (2,283) (578) Total debt 31,397,717 (578)

. 24.4 Fair Values Information
At the end of the reporting period, there were no financial instruments carried at fair values. The fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities approximated their carrying amounts due to relatively short-term maturity of the financial instruments (maturing within the next 12 months). The fair values are determined by discounting the relevant cash flows at rates equal to the current market interest rate plus appropriate credit rating, where necessary. The fair values are included in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the non-current portion of term loan equal their carrying amount as the impact of discounting is not material. The fair values are determined on cash flows
F-124
discounted using the current market interest rate plus appropriate credit rating and are within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

1. Auditor’s Report
REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Gryphon Energy (SEA) Sdn. Bhd., which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the financial period then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as set out on pages 11 to 31. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2016, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the financial period then ended in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence and Other Ethical Responsibilities We are independent of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional Ethics, Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“By-Laws”) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code. Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report Thereon The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Directors’ Report, but does not include the financial statements of the Company and our auditors’ report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements of the Company does not cover the Directors’ Report and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Company, our responsibility is to read the Directors’ Report and, in doing so, consider whether the Directors’ Report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements of the Company or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the Directors’ Report, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of Directors for the Financial Statements The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Company that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
F-133
In preparing the financial statements of the Company, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Company as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:- • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the
Company, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements of the Company or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the
Company, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the Company represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
F-134
REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia (“Act”), we also report that in our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
Other Matters This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 174 of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
5.1 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the directors and management
and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of
future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The
estimates and judgements that affect the application of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures, and have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to
the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed below:-
(a) Income Taxes
There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination may be different from the initial estimate. The Company recognises tax liabilities based on its understanding of the prevailing tax laws and estimates of whether such taxes will be due in the ordinary course of business. Where the final outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such difference will impact the income tax expense and deferred tax balances in the year in which such determination is made.
F-141
(b) Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables
An impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. Management specifically reviews its loans and receivables financial assets and analyses historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in the customer payment terms when making a judgement to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for impairment losses. Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. If the expectation is different from the estimation, such difference will impact the carrying value of receivables.
(c) Fair Value Estimates for Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company carries certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, which requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgement. While significant components of fair value measurement were determined using verifiable objective evidence, the amount of changes in fair value would differ if the Company uses different valuation methodologies. Any changes in fair value of these assets and liabilities would affect profit and/or equity.
5.2 FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY
The functional currency of the Company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.
The financial statements of the Company are presented in United States Dollar (USD), which is the functional and presentation currency.
5.3 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial instruments are classified as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and their definitions in MFRS 132. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as a liability are reported as an expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity.
Financial instruments are offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
A financial instrument is recognised initially at its fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument (other than a financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss) are added to/deducted from the fair value on initial recognition, as appropriate. Transaction costs on the financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial instruments recognised in the statement of financial position are disclosed in the individual policy statement associated with each item.
(a) Financial Assets
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and re-ceivables financial assets, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropri-ate.
(i) Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
F-142
As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category.
(ii) Held-to-maturity Investments
As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category.
(iii) Loans and Receivables Financial Assets
Trade receivables and other receivables that have fixed or determi-nable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables financial assets. Loans and receivables fi-nancial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective in-terest method, less any impairment loss. Interest income is recog-nised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term re-ceivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Loans and receivables financial assets are classified as current as-sets, except for those having settlement dates later than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets.
(iv) Available-for-sale Financial Assets
As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category.
(b) Financial Liabilities
(i) Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are either held for trading or are designated to eliminate or signifi-cantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading un-less they are designated as hedges.
(ii) Other Financial Liabilities
Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus direct-ly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amor-tised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly dis-counts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
(c) Equity Instruments
Equity instruments classified as equity are measured at cost and are not re-measured subsequently. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from pro-ceeds.
F-143
Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when approved for appropriation.
(d) Derecognition
A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
5.4 IMPAIRMENT
(a) Impairment of Financial Assets
All financial assets (other than those categorised at fair value through profit or loss), are assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. An impairment loss in respect of held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
(b) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The carrying values of assets, other than those to which MFRS 136 - Impair-ment of Assets does not apply, are reviewed at the end of each reporting pe-riod for impairment when there is an indication that the assets might be im-paired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the as-sets with their recoverable amounts. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss shall be recognised. The recoverable amount of the assets is the higher of the assets' fair value less costs to sell and their value in use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flow using a pre-tax discount rate. Where it is not possible to estimate the recov-erable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
F-144
When there is a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as a reversal of the previous impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recog-nised. The reversal is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
5.5 INCOME TAX
(a) Current Tax Current tax assets and liabilities are expected amount of income tax recover-able or payable to the taxation authorities. Current taxes are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been en-acted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and are rec-ognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items rec-ognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or direct-ly in equity).
(b) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax are recognised using the liability method for all temporary differ-ences other than those that arise from the initial recongnition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are ex-pected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is set-tled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary difference,
unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each re-porting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realised.
Current and deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transac-tions either in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax assets and liabilities or deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity (or on different tax entities but they intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis) and the same taxation authority.
5.6 RELATED PARTIES
A party is related to an entity (referred to as the “reporting entity”) if:-
(a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to a reporting entity if that person:-
(i) has control or joint control over the reporting entity; (ii) has significant influence over the reporting entity; or (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the reporting entity or
of a parent of the reporting entity.
F-145
Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the reporting entity.
(b) An entity is related to a reporting entity if any of the following conditions applies:-
(i) the entity and the reporting entity are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).
(ii) one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).
(iii) both entities are joint ventures of the same third party. (iv) one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an
associate of the third entity. (v) the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees
of either the reporting entity or an entity related to the reporting entity. If the reporting entity is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the reporting entity.
(vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a) above.
(vii) a person identified in (a)(i) above has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).
(viii) the entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity.
Related parties also include key management personnel defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the reporting entity either directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of that entity.
5.7 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique. The measurement assumes that the transaction takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a market’s participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. For financial reporting purposes, the fair value measurements are analysed into level 1 to level 3 as follows:-
Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liability that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2: Inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The transfer of fair value between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

A reconciliation of income tax expense applicable to the loss for the financial period at the statutory tax rate to income tax expense at the effective tax rate of the Company is as follows:-
RM
Loss for the financial period (174,545)
Tax at the statutory tax rate of 24% (41,891)
Tax effects of:- Non-deductible expenses 26,187 Deferred tax assets not recognised during the financial period 15,704
Income tax expense for the financial period -
Income tax is calculated at the Malaysian statutory tax rate of 24% of the estimated assessable loss for the financial period.
Subject to agreement with the tax authorities, at the end of the reporting period, the Company has unutilised tax losses of RM65,434 available to be carried forward for offset against future taxable business income. Deferred tax asset has not been recognised in respect of this item.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company’s activities are exposed to a variety of market risks (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and equity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall financial risk management policy focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance.
13.1 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The Company’s policies in respect of the major areas of treasury activity are as fol-lows:-
(a) Market Risk
(i) Foreign Currency Risk
The Company does not have any transactions or balances denomi-nated in foreign currencies and hence is not exposed to foreign cur-rency risk.
(ii) Interest Rate Risk
The Company does not have any interest-bearing borrowing and
hence is not exposed to interest rate risk.
(iii) Equity Price Risk
The Company does not have any quoted investment and hence is not
exposed to price equity price risk.
(b) Credit Risk
The Company does not have any major concentration of credit risk related to any individual customer or counterparty.
(c) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises mainly from general funding and business activities. The Company practices prudent risk management by maintaining sufficient cash balances.
The following table sets out the maturity profile of the financial liabilities as at the end of the reporting period based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on the rates at the end of the reporting period):-

13.2 CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities within the Company will be able to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to support their businesses and maximise shareholders’ value. To achieve this objective, the Company may make adjustments to the capital structure in view of changes in economic conditions, such as adjusting the amount of dividend payment, returning of capital to shareholders or issuing new shares. The Company manages its capital based on debt-to-equity ratio. The debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as total net borrowings from financial institutions divided by total equity. As the Company has no external bank borrowings as at the end of the reporting period, the debt-to-equity ratio is not presented.
13.3 CLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OUTLOOK
Recent Developments
General Economic Developments
The core activities of the Group are significantly influenced by the relative strengths of the local
economies, in which the group operates. For companies like the companies of De Raj Group that
relate to basic utilities like Power and Infrastructure to internationally significant commodity driven
industries, it is very pertinent to understand the global economic climate, with significant emphasis on
the local economies of interest areas.
Since 31 December 2016, the effective date of the latest audited annual financial statement, the
overall global economic outlook remains strong and the cyclical recovery continues. Growth outturns
in the first quarter of 2017 were higher than the April World Economic Outlook (WEO) published by
the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts in large emerging and developing economies such as
Brazil, China, and Mexico, and in several advanced economies including Canada, France, Germany,
Italy, and Spain. High-frequency indicators for the second quarter provide signs of continued
strengthening of global activity. Specifically, growth in global trade and industrial production remained
well above 2015–16 rates despite retreating from the very strong pace registered in late 2016 and
early 2017. Purchasing managers’ indices (PMIs) signal sustained strength ahead in manufacturing
and services.
Emerging and developing economies are projected to see a sustained pickup in activity, with growth
rising from 4.3 percent in 2016 to 4.6 percent in 2017 and 4.8 percent in 2018. These forecasts reflect
upward revisions, relative to April, of 0.2 percentage point for 2016, and 0.1 percentage point for
2017. As in the most recent WEO forecast vintages, growth is primarily driven by commodity
importers, but its pickup reflects to an important extent gradually improving conditions in large
commodity exporters that experienced recessions in 2015–16, in many cases caused or exacerbated
by declining commodity prices.1
A more complete set of data revealed that the economy of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN) picked up pace in the second quarter (Q2) 2017, recording the best performance since Q3
2013. According to an estimate of regional gross domestic product (GDP) compiled by
FocusEconomics, growth came in at 5.0% annually in Q2, above Q1’s 4.8% expansion and better than last month’s preliminary estimate of a 4.8% increase. The result comes as good news for the
region, which had seen healthy but lackluster growth in recent years, and is largely due to a
resurgence in global trade along with robust domestic demand.
The regional acceleration was driven by better-than-expected performance in Malaysia, which grew at
the fastest rate since Q2 2014. An upturn in Malaysia’s external sector as a slowdown in import growth outpaced that of exports drove the result, while private consumption was also robust.
Elsewhere in the region, growth stalled in major-player Indonesia and was steady at Q1’s 5.0% annually. A sharp drop in public spending and subdued export performance dampened the economy’s momentum.2

Commodities and Inflation
Oil prices have receded, reflecting strong inventory levels in the United States and a pickup in supply.
Headline inflation also generally softened as the impact of the commodity price rebound of the second
half of 2016 faded, and remains at levels well below central bank targets in most advanced
economies. Core inflation has remained broadly stable. It has largely been stable in emerging
economies as well, with a few, such as Brazil and Russia, witnessing strong declines.
Brent Crude Oil prices rose in recent weeks due to developments related to Hurricanes Harvey and
Irma, as well as higher refinery demand in Europe and Asia. On 8 September, Brent Crude Oil prices
traded at USD 54.6 per barrel, which was up 4.5% from the same day in August and the highest level
since April 2017. While the benchmark price for global crude oil markets was 1.2% lower on a year-to-
date basis, it was up 10.3% from the same day last year. Oil prices were mostly affected by
developments related to Hurricane Harvey and signs that the global oil glut is slowly receding.
Hurricane Harvey and the subsequent flooding knocked out more than 20% of the U.S. refining
sector, reducing demand for crude oil and sending oil prices lower in the last week of August. Oil
prices, however, faced upward pressure again in September as some refineries resumed their
activities in the United States. Moreover, refineries in Europe and Asia sought more crude oil in order
to compensate for the partial shutdown in the U.S., thereby supporting prices for the global
benchmark. Overall, there are signs that oversupply is easing. Global growth remains strong, adding
upward pressure from the demand side. Russia and Saudi Arabia boosted market confidence as both
key oil producers are pushing to extend the OPEC oil cut deal by three months, to June 2018.3
Oil markets look set to tighten further in the coming quarters as better than expected compliance from
OPEC ensures drawdowns in oil inventories. JP Morgan continues to expect prompt prices to rally
over the first half of the year and Brent could average USD 62/bbl4 during Q3 2017 if price tailwinds
persist. However, the decisions taken by producers in 2016 now look set to forestall a price recovery
in 2018. The supply rebound in the second half year 2017 keeps pace with forecast demand growth.
Consequently JP Morgan retains a 2017 Brent price forecast of USD 58.25/bbl and introduce a 2018
price forecast of USD 60/bbl. WTI prices are USD2/bbl below this at USD 56.25/bbl and USD 58/bbl
for 2017 and 2018 respectively.5
Important Occurrences for the Company and the other Companies of De Raj Group
Since 31 December 2016, the following circumstances have occurred, which were of major relevance
for the Company and De Raj Group:
In February and June 2017, the companies of the oil and gas division of the De Raj Group entered
into agreements for the deployment of an oil rig offshore Indonesia which constitute the main sources
of revenue for De Raj Group at the moment.
In April 2017, the loan facility granted for the financing of the business activities of the oil and gas
division of De Raj Group was successfully restructured by way of a restructuring agreement with the
bank granting the facility.

- O-3 -
In July 2017, the German power division of De Raj Group entered into several lease agreements on
its combined heat and power plants.
In October 2017, Alexander Arjun de Raj assigned a loan in the amount of EUR 3,810,000.00, which
was granted to Gaea Power GmbH, to De Raj Group AG which was subsequently waived by De Raj
Group AG.
Finally, in October 2017 the shares in the other companies of the De Raj Group were contributed to
the Company, partly by way of a capital increase against contribution in kind and partly by way of a
contribution into the capital reserves of the Company, whereby the De Raj Group was formed.
Furthermore, it is to be noted that some of the companies of De Raj Group acquired assets, i,e. Jack-
up Rigs for oil rigs and patents, shortly before the contribution of their shares into the Company.
For details of the aforementioned occurrences, please confer Section 7.4 (“De Raj Group – Structure,
Companies and Formation”), and Section 8 (“Business Description”), in particular Section 8.7 (“Material Contracts”).
Development of the Operations of the Companies of the De Raj Group
One of the most significant developments for the De Raj Group since 31 December 2016, is the
increase in the day-rates for the BOSS-1 oil rig, deployed in Indonesia and operated by De Raj Group
from around USD 36,027 per day to USD 52,000 per day from 20 February 2017 on. This reflects the
positive mood of the Oil & Gas industry in general and South East Asian prospects in particular.
The Group had also undertaken significant cost saving measures, especially in the area of Operations
and Maintenance of the assets, to cope with the negative price cycle, which are resulting in enhanced
profitability now.
Outlook
Oil & Gas Sector:
At the core of De Raj Group’s oil and gas services are a family of in-house developed patented
Intellectual Properties (IP), filed in most of the oil and gas producing countries. This IP design is a
cost effective enabler for economically challenged marginal fields and reserves. It achieves this by
providing flexible, versatile solutions and early monetisation of reserves in comparison with
conventional designs.
The distinct and patented design advantages allow for crucial cost savings for offshore operations at a
time where hydrocarbon prices (oil & gas) are high enough again to justify operations (i.e. above US -
Dollar 35/barrel crude oil, a barrel equalling approximately 159 liter) , yet also low enough (below US -
Dollar 65/barrel) that cost savings as such matter. In an environment where oil and gas prices are at
inflated prices i.e. above US - Dollar 100/barrel, these cost efficiencies are insignificant and do not
allow the advantages of the technology to be considered seriously. However, with the discovery of
shale gas technology and its supply, which has been the main contributor to the drop in oil and price
prices, the only oil and gas suppliers likely to survive in the long term are the ones with the ability to
produce at low cost. This scenario provides a unique value proposition for De Raj Group to offer its
cost effective solutions to the industry.
De Raj Group is of the opinions that it has proven itself in the South East Asia region to be a cost
effective and an expedient contract partner. The next plan of action is to market these technologies to
a wider global market.
In 2017, De Raj Group has and will continue to market its unique solutions coupled with readily
available assets to the significant and growing Persian Gulf offshore exploration & production sector
- O-4 -
as well as for selected Mexican Gulf and Caribbean marginal field potentials where production cost
threaten project viabilities even at today’s middling market prices for oil. De Raj Group expects a
serious upturn and to have at least four rigs in operations by year 2019 whereby the time gap is
caused by the current requirement for customisation and refurbishment of the oil rigs at qualified
shipyards.
German Power Sector:
The volatility of the Oil and Gas prices and the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry over previous
decades has led management to diversify into the more stable and predictable earning patterns of
power generation and its related services. Starting with renewable energy biomass projects in
Germany’s North Rhine Westfalia province in 2016, the growing familiarity with market dynamics and
market participants, such as grid operator clients, city utilities and virtual next generation utilities, will
allow Gaea Power and German Power to expand rapidly its generation portfolio in Germany, based
on a proven and cash flow positive business model by 2018.
The German Power division will also opportunistically expand horizontally and vertically in Germany,
i.e. into grid supportive and utility bankrolled large energy storage facilities and technologies.
De Raj Group’s aim is to substantially expand the revenues and profits of the German power sector
and to increase its share of the overall revenues and profits of the De Raj Group in the future.
Validation of Further Business Opportunities:
Besides expanding its existing business, De Raj Group generally also observes the markets to
validate potential further business opportunities and worthwhile chances to extend its business to
further business sectors in the future.
In this respect, De Raj Group is examining potential business opportunities regarding investments in
conventionally generated power in the Middle East markets. Furthermore De Raj Group intends to
also validate potential business opportunities in view of establishing a third business leg, namely
supportive infrastructure, in particular for feed stock logistics, balance of plant investments and grid
connectivity to pipeline networks and electric grids – all in need to supportive road networks and also
railway cargo capacities.
Since 31 December 2016, the effective date of the latest audited annual financial statement, there
have been no material adverse changes in the business prospects of De Raj Group beyond the facts
and circumstances described in this section “Recent Developments and Outlook“. From 31 December 2016 to the date of this Prospectus, there have been no significant changes to the financial condition
