Rabbalshede Kraft AB (publ) INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2013 Page 3 of 17
The first nine months, January-September 2013
Production from the Group´s wind farms amounted to 102,533 (111,118) MWh.
The average electricity price per presold MWh was SEK 356 (368)/MWh.
The average electricity price for electricity certificates and Guarantees of Origin was SEK 203 (162)/MWh.
Net sales totaled KSEK 57,242 (59,011).
Operating profit before depreciation/amortization (EBITDA) amounted to KSEK 33,582 (30,030).
Operating profit (EBIT) was KSEK 4,507 (loss: 4,146).
Depreciation/amortization totaled KSEK 29,075 (34,176). The Company adjusted its assessment of the useful life of the wind turbines from 20 years to 25 years, which resulted in a MSEK 8 reduction in depreciation for the period.
The Company posted a loss after tax of KSEK 18,068 (loss: 21,644).
Rabbalshede Kraft signed an agreement with Swedbank and SEB regarding bank financing, thus securing the Company’s build-out of the Årjäng NV and Årjäng SV wind farms in the Municipality of Årjäng, as well as the Skaveröd/Gurseröd wind farm in the Municipality of Tanum.
In June 2013, Manor Investment S.A. invested MSEK 171.6 in Rabbalshede Kraft through a private placement, under which Manor Investment received 14,300,000 new Series B shares at a price of SEK 12.00 per share.
The preferential rights issue that was implemented between June 24 and July 8, 2013, raised MSEK 353.7 for the Company, prior to issuance costs. The Company received the issue proceeds on July 16, 2013. The shares that were subscribed for under the issue have been registered with the Swedish Companies and Registration Office.
The Company is investing nearly MSEK 1,200 in the construction of the Årjäng NV, Årjäng SV and Skaveröd/Gurseröd wind farms, comprising a total of 33 wind turbines. The wind turbines being installed are of the V112-3 MW model. Svevia will be in charge of the construction of roads and infrastructure, including the IKN network. Construction on the wind farms began in July 2013 and will be completed by late 2014. The annual production for the three wind farms is estimated at 289 GWh.
All 14 wind turbines in the Dingle-Skogen Vind wind farm have been assembled and commissioned, and the last six wind turbines have been put into trial operation. The wind farm is scheduled to be in commercial operation by November 2013 at which time it will transition to the operational phase.
Rabbalshede Kraft has been granted an environmental permit for the Femstenaberg wind farm comprising up to 15 wind turbines (45 MW), the Brattön Sälelund wind farm comprising up to 14 wind turbines (42 MW) and the Lursäng wind farm comprising up to five wind turbines (10 MW). The wind farms have gained legal effect.
The Annual General Meeting for the 2012 fiscal year was held on April 25, 2013, in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Significant events after the end of the period
In May 2012, Rabbalshede Kraft signed an agreement with the Gothenburg Diocese concerning the sale of two of 14 wind turbines in the Dingle-Skogen wind farm. Ownership of the turbines was transferred in October 2013.
Rabbalshede Kraft AB (publ) INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2013 Page 4 of 17
CEO’s statement In a few weeks, Rabbalshede Kraft’s fifth wind farm, Dingle-Skogen Vind, will transition into commercial operation. All 14 wind turbines are in operation and the final adjustments are being made. The construction process exceeded our expectations and when the farm enters commercial operation, the Company’s overall production capacity will have increased by slightly more than 50 percent.
This past summer, backed by the experience gained in the aforementioned project, we embarked on our largest project to date – the Årjäng NV, Årjäng SV and Skaveröd/Gurseröd wind farms, which comprise a total of 33 wind turbines. This project is also proceeding exactly as planned. The farms are scheduled to be in trial operation in approximately one year and will be inaugurated in early 2015. Once this happens, Rabbalshede Kraft will double its current production capacity, when also including Dingle-Skogen Vind.
The new wind farms are a welcome addition. They strengthen cash flow and enable the Company to spread its overhead costs across more farms. Although electricity production is generally a capital-intensive operation, it is not staff intensive once operations are under way. Nor does wind power require fuel or waste management, as do the predominant power sources in the EU. Accordingly, growth provides economies of scale that benefit both the Company and its shareholders.
The above serves as the background for this past summer’s new share issues, which raised MSEK 525.3 prior to issuance costs and Manor Investment S.A the new majority shareholder in Rabbalshede Kraft. Having an industrial majority shareholder with extensive experience of renewable energy helps the Company advance its major project portfolio, which has been amassed methodically since 2005. Another four wind farms comprising a total of 48 turbines currently hold permits that have gained legal effect. In other words, construction on these wind farms can begin when we see fit and once financing has been secured.
The price of electricity during the third quarter rose sharply in 2013 compared with 2012. During the first nine months of the year, the average system price was SEK 333/MWh, up 30 percent year-on-year. However, this remains somewhat lower than the average price of electricity in the past five to ten years. It is worth noting that the cost of producing electricity using wind power has declined significantly more over the same time frame.
The price of electricity certificates has declined in pace with the rapid build-out of renewable electricity production. In February 2014, the Swedish Energy Agency will present a proposal to adjust the system as of 2016. The market currently expects a higher quota obligation, which would result in a higher price per electricity certificate, refer to pages 5-6 for more on electricity and electricity certificates.
This year’s weak winds, however, did in fact have an impact on our future plans. One of the effects of relying on wind power is that production can vary substantially compared with a normal year, although this will balance out in the long run. 2013 was hallmarked by high-pressure systems that resulted in unusually fantastic weather this past summer. The low-pressure systems largely passed Sweden by thus resulting in weak wind in the third quarter, just as in the first quarter. Higher temperatures also mean that the winds have a lower energy content, which has had a greater impact than usual this year.
Combined, these factors resulted in a lower level of production during the first nine months of the year, compared with the year-earlier period – 102,533 (111,118) MWh. Net sales in January-September amounted to KSEK 57,242 (59,011) and the Company posted an operating loss of KSEK 18,068 (loss: 21,644).
We have a confident outlook on the future, but also thoroughly assessing every project in the light of market. A point of focus in the next few years is to push as many permit applications forward as possible until the permits gain legal effect from the municipalities and county councils. We have 12 farms in the application phase. These applications generally require significant resources. It is thus rational to continue in 2014 to prioritize farms that are close to the construction phase and farms that have all permits in place and on which construction can begin.

Production To date, 2013 has largely been dominated by high pressure weather and weak winds. In the first quarter, there were several extended periods of high pressure in succession during which the winds were weak and the direction of the wind was primarily northeasterly. The wind energy and production during the quarter were significantly lower than expected for a normal year. In the areas in which the Company has wind farms in operation, the energy content during the first quarter was about 70 percent of the level of previous years.
The second quarter began with two windier and more unstable months. The winds subsequently dissipated in June, when winds were mostly weak. The energy content of the wind during the second quarter was higher than during a normal year, despite a weak June.
Aside from brief periods of somewhat stronger winds, the third quarter was dominated by extended periods of high pressure and weak winds, just like the first quarter. As a result of the high-pressure systems, wind-energy content for the quarter was lower than during a normal year.
Seasonal variations and annual variations Wind-power production varies during the year, normally entailing higher electricity production during the winter season. An average wind year, known as a normal year, is based on wind measurements over at least a ten-year period. Deviations from a normal year can be very substantial during certain periods, thus impacting revenues and earnings during a single quarter or year.
Prices for electricity and electricity certificates The average price per presold MWh during the third quarter was SEK 353/MWh (330). An average of 78 percent of production was hedged during the period. Hedging takes place through contractual sales of electricity for delivery at a later date, which levels off earnings over time. As of the second quarter of 2012, the Company has been price-hedging a predetermined percentage of its production volume, thus eliminating the volume and profile risk.
Since late 2012, lower quantities of precipitation than normal have decreased the levels in the Nordic hydroelectric dams. This is the primary reason behind the increase in the price of electricity in 2013. It was particularly evident during the third quarter when the system price for the Nordic region (a weighted spot price) was SEK 311/MWh (176), up 77 percent year-on-year.
During the first nine months of the year 2012 and 2013, the difference became narrower, SEK 333/MWh (257), resulting in the price of electricity being 30 percent higher in 2013. After the end of the period, the difference between the years remained at around this level. Furthermore, the difference between the system price and the price in the four Swedish bidding areas was also significantly lower than in the preceding year through July.
In the short term, access to water in the Nordic hydroelectric dams is highly significant to the price of electricity. Accordingly, major quantities of precipitation were the single greatest factor behind the very low price of electricity in 2012. The system price was SEK 272/MWh on an annualized basis, the lowest in eleven years, adjusted for inflation.
During the fourth quarter, a continued water shortage is expected and thus higher year-on-year electricity prices, despite the quarter beginning with rain in Norway and the Swedish mountain regions. At the same time, the spot price in the four Swedish bidding areas has increased significantly more than the system prices since August, and was between SEK 387/MW and SEK 399/MW. This is a higher level than the inflation-adjusted average system prices on a ten-year horizon (SEK 382/MWh). Very high system prices in 2010 and 2011 should be seen as an exception, when the system price was SEK 506/MWh and SEK 423/MWh, respectively. These years

were characterized by minor levels of precipitation combined with major operational issues in Swedish nuclear power plants.
During the autumn, the more normal situation in Swedish power production in 2013 contributed to a small increase in futures prices for 2014 and 2015. A decline in the price of coal, which has slowed during the autumn, was also a contributing factor. Another price-sensitive factor is the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), which increased marginally after bottoming out during the past summer. A decision on a long-term solution for the EU ETS is expected during the coming winter. There are expectations in the market for a solution that benefits both the price of electricity and the EU’s climate efforts.
The electricity certificate system was introduced in Sweden in 2003 to promote the expansion of renewable energy. This is a market-based system in which the price of electricity certificates is governed by supply and demand. Producers of renewable energy receive one certificate for each MWh of renewable electricity delivered during the first 15 years that an approved plant is in commission. Buyers of these certificates are electricity suppliers (electricity vendors) and certain companies that conduct electricity trading, which are obligated to purchase electricity certificates corresponding to a proportion (quota) of their annual electricity sales or consumption.
Since 2003, the spot price has fluctuated between about SEK 140 and 380/MWh, with a downward trend from the autumn of 2009 to the spring of 2012. This was caused by a rapid expansion of renewable electricity production, which led to a surplus of electricity certificates and thus also downward pricing pressure. The price subsequently first rose and then fell until May 2013, and then stabilized at a somewhat higher level. For the week commencing October 14, 2013, the spot price was SEK 200 /MWh (188) and the futures prices were SEK 204-213/MWh (193-210) for various periods, according to Svensk Kraftmäkling.
Since 2012, Sweden and Norway have had a joint electricity certificate system. To date, the expansion of renewable energy in Norway has been sluggish, which is forcing Norwegian electricity traders subject to certificate requirements to purchase electricity certificates from Sweden. The Swedish surplus of certificates will thus decline, which is expected to positively influenced the price in the coming years.
A new quota obligation scheme is expected as of 2016. In February 2014, the Swedish Energy Agency will present a proposal for this in partnership with Norway’s Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate. Expectations in the Swedish market of a higher future quota obligation is the cause of the increase in the price of electricity certificates since this past summer.
At September 30, 2013, the Company had an inventory of electricity certificates totaling 2,933 at a value of KSEK 548.

Project portfolio Wind farms in operation Since being formed in 2005, Rabbalshede Kraft has been involved in the commissioning of 48 wind turbines, of which 26 wind turbines in four wind farms are proprietarily operated. Another 47 wind turbines are under construction.
Planning operations Establishing a wind farm from the initial preliminary study to taking it into operation takes four to seven years. Thorough preparatory work is of decisive importance to the profitability of a wind-power project and to minimize the risks. In 2010, Rabbalshede Kraft secured ISO 9001 quality certification and ISO 14001 environmental certification. The Company has adopted industrial processes in all areas of operation, from the pre-planning of wind farms to the operation and maintenance of winds farms and wind turbines. The five project phases are described below.
Phase 1: Preplanning In this phase, basic prerequisites are analyzed, such as wind conditions based on wind maps, opposing interests, ground conditions and the feasibility of grid connections and so forth. Leaseholds with land owners are also signed, which are subject to the condition that wind measurements and other analyses in the next phase remain positive.
Phase 2: Planning In the planning phase, wind measurements begin and the consultation process is initiated with the authorities, organizations and individuals affected by the establishment. This is when an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is prepared, which is submitted to the relevant authority together with the application. An EIA describes the direct and indirect impact of wind power on natural and cultural environments, recreational amenities and public health
Phase 3: Application Wind farm applications that are to be assessed under the Swedish Environmental Code are submitted to the County Administrative Board where the Environmental Protection Department formulates a decision-making proposal for the operation. The County Administrative Board’s environmental testing delegation subsequently reaches a decision. A project cannot secure a permit until the municipality has granted its approval. Wind farms that are assessed under the Swedish Planning and Building Act are submitted to the relevant municipality for assessment.
Phase 4: Authorization When all permits have been granted and gained legal force, the focus is on the procurement of turbines, other engineering, electrical and contracting work, as well as financing. Electricity connection agreements are also reached with various grid companies. The wind measurements are thoroughly analyzed, which provides the basis for investment and profitability calculations.
Phase 5: Construction This phase begins with preparatory work on land and the construction of roads. Contractors are appointed for earthworks, while turbine suppliers are responsible for the assembly and commissioning of wind turbines. Electricity connections are made by the electricity companies that own the adjacent networks and paid for by Rabbalshede Kraft.

* The projects that are under application are subject to evaluation by the municipality and/or county administrative board. Accordingly, there may be some uncertainty as to whether or not the Company will receive the permits for which it has applied. 1) The entire farm has been commissioned and the last six wind turbines have been put into trial operation. The wind farm will be in commercial operation in 2013, at which point it will move into the operation phase. In May 2012, Rabbalshede Kraft signed an agreement with the Gothenburg Diocese regarding the sale of two of the 14 wind turbines in the wind farm – ownership of the turbines was transfered in October 2013 after the end of the period. 2) In October 2010, the Swedish Armed Forces reached a decision concerning new guidelines for the assessment of wind power in the vicinity of military air bases. Sections of the project in the Municipality of Uddevalla and of the Korpekullen Project in the Municipality of Färgelanda are located in what is known as a “stop area” for Såtenäs Airport. Earlier, the projects had received a positive referral from the Swedish Armed Forces. It is unclear whether or not the new guidelines will entail limitations on build-out options 3) The Municipality of Härjedalen granted approval for the Lillhärdal Åndberg project in October 2013. The Municipality’s approval is a prerequisite for the County Council to process the application and be able to grant a permit, according to the Swedish Environmental Code.

Investments
Investments, including paid advances, totaled KSEK 504,324 during the period from January to September 2013. In all material respects, the investments pertain to the Dingle-Skogen Vind, Årjäng SV, Årjäng NV and Skaveröd/Gurseröd wind farms, and to ongoing planning work.
All 14 of the wind turbines in the Dingle-Skogen wind farm have been assembled and commissioned, and the last six wind turbines have been put into trial operation. The wind farm will be in commercial operation in November 2013, at which point it will move into the operational phase. In May 2012, Rabbalshede Kraft signed an agreement with the Gothenburg Diocese through its subsidiary Dingleskogen Vind AB regarding the sale of two of the 14 wind turbines in the Dingle-Skogen wind farm – ownership of the turbines was transferred in October.
During the third quarter, construction began on the three wind farms Årjäng NV, Årjäng SV and Skaveröd/Gurseröd, comprising a total of 33 wind turbines. The project marks the largest investment to date in the Company’s history, totaling nearly KSEK 1,200,000 of which about one-third will comprise shareholders’ equity. The wind turbines being installed are of the V112-3 MW model. Svevia will be in charge of the construction of roads and infrastructure, including the IKN network.

Hedging instruments
Rabbalshede Kraft applies hedge accounting of financial instruments in accordance with IAS 39. As a result, value changes in various derivatives acquired to hedge cash flows have to be recognized against shareholders’ equity through comprehensive income.
At September 30, 2013, the market value of the Company’s outstanding interest-rate and currency contracts represented a liability of KSEK 28,321 and a liability of KSEK 6,052, respectively.
Risks and uncertainties
Through its operations, Rabbalshede Kraft is exposed to risks. The Company is dependent on both the general economic and political climate in its business environment. For a detailed description of risks, refer to the administration report in the Annual Report for the fiscal year 2012.
In 2008, Rabbalshede Kraft AB entered into an agreement with a supplier relating to the acquisition of a total of 29 wind turbines. Of these, the Company instructed the delivery of 14 wind turbines to the Dingle-Skogen wind farm in February 2012. The advance payment in EUR that had previously been made for the 29 turbines, corresponding to KSEK 39,921 (rate 9.23), was used as an installment payment for 14 turbines. The remaining agreements for 15 wind turbines stipulate specific delivery dates, the parties intend to sign supplementary agreements specifying new delivery dates for wind farms that are scheduled further down the line. If the Company cancels the remaining 15 wind turbines, this could cost the Company MEUR 6.7, corresponding to MSEK 58.1 on the balance-sheet date.
Depreciation
In the first quarter of 2013, the Company reassessed the useful life of investments in wind turbines in accordance with IAS 16. The Company deems that the useful life corresponds with the wind turbines’ economic life. The economic life of an investment in wind turbines is 25 years, as opposed to the previous assessment of 20 years. A useful life of 25 years for investments in wind turbines is already applied by both Swedish and foreign wind-power companies. The change is applicable as of the first quarter of 2013 and resulted in a MSEK 8 reduction in depreciation according to plan for the first nine months, compared with the year-earlier period if the change had not been implemented

Note 3 Financial assets and liabilities
According to IFRS 7, financial instruments must be categorized in three levels based on what input data was used when making the fair-value measurement. The first level pertains to financial instruments that are quoted in an active market. The second level pertains to financial instruments that are not quoted in an active market, but where other market data can be used to obtain a measurement. The final level pertains to measurements for which there are no quoted prices or other market data. The methods for obtaining a measurement for level three primarily comprise discounted cash flows. All derivatives (electricity, interest rate and currency) belong to level 1.

Auditor’s Review Introduction
We have reviewed the consolidated financial interim information (interim report) of Rabbalshede Kraft AB (publ) at September 30, 2013, and the nine-month period that ended on this date. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this interim financial information based on our review.
Direction and scope of the review
We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and a substantially more limited scope compared with the focus and extent of an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing practices.
The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the opinion expressed on the basis of a review does not provide the same level of assurance as an opinion expressed on the basis of an audit.
Opinion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report has not, in all material aspects, been compiled in accordance with IAS 34 Interim reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
