The change in fair value since the prior period arises as a result of changes in the forecasted cash flows, and forecasted
likelihood and timing of an equity offering. Of this amount US$ 2.8 million (31 December 2016: US$ 2.4 million) has
been capitalised to qualifying assets in the period, see note 7, resulting in a net charge to the income statement of US$
23.2 million (31 December 2016: US$ 24.8 million).
During 2017 the Group and Qatar First Bank (QFB) holding 50% of the principal amended certain terms of the
convertible murabaha agreement. The Group and QFB have agreed that, subject to a certain conditions, the principal
and part of the premium amounts outstanding under the convertible murabaha agreement will mandatorily convert
into ordinary shares of the Company prior to the first repayment date. Subsequent to the period ended 30 September
2017, the Group and the other lender holding balance 50% of the principal amended certain terms of the convertible
loan agreement to defer the first repayment date by 2018 half-year end (see note 14).
The convertible loans are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy in all the periods presented. Level 3 fair value
measurements are those derived from inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The
group uses a weighted average discounted cash flow technique to determine the fair value of the loans. The significant
inputs considered in the valuation are likelihood and timing of a conversion event and the discount rate. The discount
rate used was in the range of 10-18% (31 December 2016: 10-18%). Possible changes to the likelihood and timing
assumptions in the fair value measurement could have a maximum impact of reducing the liability by US$26.8 million.
