APPROACHES POTENTIAL PROJECT FINANCE VIEWS 1. Contract as strict risk splitting device among parties (risk allocation) [Off the record, sponsor & counterparties] [Off the record, banker view] 2. Contract as legal form, but actual business is joint venture/partnership in concept 3. Idea of dividing up business activities as which ones done better via market & contracts vs firms a.

Operational aspect (single task) b. Relationship to existing services 3. Planning/expansion a. Segment (partial) of construction function b. Difference in risks from normal operations? 4. Financing/management construction or expansion a. What is benefit/calculation in building vs supervising 3-P building? Who owns? b. How to test formal acceptability & what risks there? c. What is benefit/calculation in private operaqtor vs state funding expansion? 5. Following SAUR CEO idea, tariff as the governmental role but relationship of it to above?
LINES OF BUSINESS? WHY ARE FOLLOWING TYPICAL PROJECT FINANCE CANDIDATES? 1. Water (cleaning & distribution) 2. Waste (collection, treatment & disposal) 3. Electricity (generation & distribution) 4. Transportation (toll roads, bridges, airports, cargo ports, mass transport) 5. Natural resource industries (petroleum, gas & mining, extraction, transformation & transport) PRACTICALLY SPEAKING, ANYTHING GENERATING STEADY, CALCULABLE LONG-TERM REVENUES TO AMORTIZE DEBT
CAPITAL STRUCTURE? RELATED CAPITAL STRUCTURES 1. Does previous idea that anything generating steady fee income determine determine capital structure? 2. What is the likely mixture of debt & equity in “separate roles” as with SAUR water business? Why? 3. Are the risks all the same in different infrastructure “lines of business”? Why?
WATER BUSINESS DECOMPOSING WATER BUSINESS RISKS 1. Is water business high technology requiring imports vs local products, plus in-puts (currency & technology risks)? 2. What are capital requirements for water treatment vs water distribution & where (investment intensive, fixed in place)? 3. Does water treatment yield a local versus internationally marketable product or service (is price set locally or in int’l market)? 4. Who are the customers, how to market (paying customers industrial vs retail, currency risk, delivered where)? 5.
