3. Dilmunia Fund Report. 1st July 2014 to 31st December 2014

Dear Investor,

Welcome to the 19th edition of the Dilmunia Development Fund I L.P. Investors’ Report, covering the period from 1 July 2014 to 31 December 2014. On behalf of Ithmaar-Dilmunia General Partner Company Limited, we are happy to update you on the key developments in the ongoing construction of Dilmunia’s infrastructure, as well as the progress of various projects at Dilmunia. 

Dilmunia’s electrical power infrastructure development has taken important steps towards becoming a major addition to the national power grid with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) with the Electricity and Water Authority (“EWA”) in August 2014. This paved the way for the taking-over of Dilmunia’s 11KV substation by EWA. In addition, the 66KV primary substation was delivered and placed on site in December 2014, while civil works by Cebarco S.P.C. (“Cebarco”) on this important part of the infrastructure were also completed in December 2014.

The Ministry of Municipalities and Urban Planning has confirmed in December 2014 the approval of the subdivision plan of Dilmunia and informed of its imminent insertion into the national plan, marking a major milestone for the development. Discussions with interested investors also continued during the reporting period, with the signing of a new sale agreement with a Bahraini developer concerning four plots, covering an area of approximately 11,000 sqm.

We expect these developments, and others detailed in this report, to bear fruit in the coming year. We look forward to updating you with further progress on this landmark project in 2015.

Best regards,

Fund Manager, Ithmaar Bank B.S.C. (“Ithmaar”)

4. Dilmunia Fund Report. 1st July 2014 to 31st December 2014

Dilmunia Key Developments

Master Plan:

•  A letter was received from the Ministry of Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning (“MAUP”) confirming the approval of subdivisions within Dilmunia’s master plan. The document follows lengthy discussions with the Urban Planning Authority during Q4 2014. This will pave the way for the subdivision and the cadastral plan issuance.

•  The final master plan was submitted for approval and inspection by the MAUP. Following the progress on the matter, the subdivision master plan is expected to be issued by the MAUP (shafaf) during 2015. 

Infrastructure Design:

•  Dilmunia officially became a part of the Kingdom of Bahrain’s national power grid and water network in November 2014 with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) between Ithmaar Development Company (“IDC”) and the Electricity and Water Authority (“EWA”) in August 2014. The MoU opens the door for the official handover of Dilmunia’s power and water infrastructure to the concerned authorities, and speeds up approvals of various projects and processes.

•  Detailed designs for the Temara development’s roads, streetlighting, and storm water drainages were completed by Mott McDonald Limited (“MML”) in Q3 2014. Progress was also made in preparing detailed designs for roads and utilities serving the Southern Residential Development (“SRD”). 

•  Final landscaping designs for the road network have progressed in Q4 2014, with the issuance of the updated designs due in Q1 2015.

•  A Request for Proposal (“RFP”) for the design of the Dilmunia Gateway Bridge was prepared and issued in October 2014.

Nine international companies were invited. Proposals received during October and November 2014 are currently under review. 

Infrastructure Progress:

•  Major works on the Distributor Road Bridge, including structural and civil works and the construction of the crash barrier, were completed by Cebarco S.P.C. (“Cebarco”) during this period.

 •  The sewer network came closer to completion with all major works finalised, including the excavation of sewer trenches and manholes construction. The majority of the manholes falling within the Phase 1 scope of works have also been completed. 

•  During the period, the Phase I potable water network was completed and finalized.

Primary Electrical Substation:

•  Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. (“FE”) received a partial handover of the 66KV substation from Cebarco in November 2014, enabling the placing of the electrical transformers. Shipments of substation equipment arrived in the same month and were placed on site in December 2014. FE’s work on the substation is expected to be complete by Q1 2015, with full energisation to be achieved by Q2 2015. This substation will provide energy to roughly 40% of the entire development. Dilmunia’s Master Plan also calls for the construction of two additional primary electrical substations at a later stage.

•  Cebarco made major progress in the substation’s civil works, with plot excavation and building foundation works having started in July 2014. Civil works were completed, with finishing works to be done in Q1 2015.
