Chief Financial Officer Director

DIRECTORS' REVIEW REPORT We, the undersigned, on behalf of the Board of Directors of Altern Energy Limited ('the Company') present the un-audited consolidated and unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements of the Company for the nine-month period ended March 3*, 2026. GENERAL

Principal Activities:

The Company's principal activities are the ownership, operation, and maintenance of a 3•-megawatt gas-fired thermal power plant located near Fateh Jang, District Attock, Punjab, and sale of electricity. The electricity produced is sold to its sole customer, Central Power Purchasing Agency (Guarantee) Limited ('CPPA') through the transmission network of the National Transmission and Dispatch Company ('NTDC'). The Company has a Power Purchase Agreement ('PPA') with its sole customer, CPPA, for thirty years, which commenced from June 6, 2001, ending on June 6, zo3i. The Company also holds direct and indirect investments in other companies engaged in power generation, as detailed in note 8 to the condensed interim unconsolidated financial statements annexed with this report.

Group Structure:

The Company owns ioo% shares ofPower Management Company(Private) Limited ('PMCL') (a special purpose vehicle), which in turn holds 67.3*% (June 3o, zO25: 59 98%) shares of Rousch (Pakistan) Power Limited ('RPPL').

MATERIAL INFORMATION

Given continued operational losses suffered by the Company as a result of nil dispatch demand from the off-taker during the past several years, during the previous fiscal year on April •7. 2025. the Shareholders of the Company approved the proposal of the Board of Directors for early termination of: (i) the Power Purchase Agreement ("PPA") with CPPA, (ii) the Implementation Agreement with the President of Islamic Republic of Pakistan on behalf of the Government of Pakistan ("IA"), and (iii) the Guarantee issued by the Government of Pakistan ("Guarantee"), (the PPA, IA and the Guarantee are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Agreements"). Subsequently, on May og, z 25. the Company submitted a request for early termination/retirement of the Agreements with CPPA and Private Power and Infrastructure Board ("PPIB"). The Company, on November •4. zoo5, initialled a "Termination Agreement" ("TA"), to be executed in due course by the Company, PPIB, and CPPA.

Pursuant to the draft TA, the following agreements shall stand terminated with mutual consent of the relevant parties:

  1. The Implementation Agreement executed with the GOP,

  2. The Guarantee issued by the GOP.

e) The Power Purchase Agreement executed with CPPA, and

d) The Gas Supply Agreement executed with SNGPL.

On March 3i, 2O26, the Federal Cabinet approved the TA and marked it back to the concerned departments for further process.

GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION

As a result of no/low generation revenue during the past several years, the major income to support the cashflows of the Company has been dividends from RPPL. As mentioned in the ensuing paragraphs, in December 2o24RPPL handed over itspower generation complex to the Government and cannolonger generate and sell electricity to CPPA. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, as RPPL has invested the funds received from the Government in mutual funds, which are expected to generate sufficient dividend income in future to support the Company in meeting its expenditures, based on the cash flow projections of RPPL and the Company.

FINANCE

During the period under review, the Company incurred gross loss of Rs 79 million as compared to gross loss of 70 mlllion in corresponding period of 2024 The Company incurred net loss after tax of Rs. i6i million resulting in a loss per share of Rs 44. as compared to net profit of Rs. 3,8i5 million and earnings per share of Rs. i6 in corresponding period of 2o>4 The net profit for the corresponding period included dividend income

amounting to Rs. 5,864 million from the subsidiary, PMCL.

Your Company's consolidated loss attributable to the equity holders of Altern Energy Limited for the period under review was Rs. 1,4 8 million resulting in loss per share Rs 4 o9. as compared to consolidated loss of Rs.

4.37 rRillion andloss per share of Rs. 3 in the corresponding period of the last year.

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

During the period under review, the dispatch from the plant was zero to the off-taker similar to no dispatch during the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year, on account of no dispatch demand from NPCC.

During the period under review, all other scheduled and preventive maintenance activities were conducted in accordance with the Original Equipment Manufacturer ('OEM')'s recommendations. We are pleased to report that all the engines and their auxiliary equipment are in sound working condition.

QUALITY, ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH & SAFETY (QEHS')

The Company adheres to a set of QEHS Principles implemented to achieve optimal standards of health and safety for its employees. Overall, the health, safety and environment performance of the plant remained satisfactory during the period under review.

SUBSIDIARY REVIEW

During the period under review, your Company's subsidiary Rousch (Pakistan) Power Limited ('RPPL') posted turnover of Rs 469 million (corresponding period in 2o24: 7.970 million) and the cost of sales was Rs 495 million (2o24: 4.097ITlillion). Net profit for the period was Rs. 270 million as compared to net loss of Rs. 7.871ITlllIion in corresponding period of 2O24. delivering earnings per share of Rs. O.31 (2024: loss per share of

*3). The net loss during the corresponding period was mainly due to write-off of fixed assets and current assets due to termination of Agreements as result of a Negotiated Settlement Agreement ('NSA') as mentioned in ensuing paragraph.

During the previous fiscal year, RPPL was approached by the Government of Pakistan for Termination of its PPA with CPPA, the IA with the President of the Islamic republic of Pakistan, and the Guarantee issued by the President Islamic Republic of Pakistan ('the Agreements'). In November zo•4. RPPL signed a NSA for Termination of the Agreements. As per the terms of the NSA, CPPA paid the agreed outstanding receivables to RPPL by December 3i, 2 >4 Accordingly, RPPL handed over the Complex to the Government of Pakistan's designated entity National Power Parks Management Company Limited ('NPPMCL'). As a result of the execution of the NSA, RPPL no longer owns the Complex to generate and sell electricity to CPPA.

The Company has made appropriate disclosure of the related party transactions in the condensed interim financial statements annexed with this report.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

During the previous year, as a result of the negotiations between public and private sector IPPs and the Government of Pakistan, tariffs of various IPPs were reduced and the Agreements of some IPPs were terminated. Your company's subsidiary, RPPL, was one of the IPPs whose Agreements were terminated as a result ofnegotiations with the Task Force, and its complex was handed over to NPPMCL. Resultantly, RPPL will no longer be able to generate operational revenue in the future.

Your Company's PPA with CPPA, based on a take-and-pay arrangement, has been subjected to a serious challenge ofmeeting its fixed costs due to zero dispatch from the off-taker during the last few years. During the previous fiseal year, upon approval from the shareholders, the Company has submitted request for early termination / retirement ofits Agreements with the Government. Subsequent to termination ofthe Agreements, the Company will evaluate future course of action. In the meanwhile, the Company remains a going concern due to future dividend income from RPPL.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Board remains grateful to its employees and management for their continued dedication and commitment and for placing their confidence and trust to steer the Company in these challenging times.
