Loans

 

a) The Government soft loan, obtained from the Government of the

Sultanate of Oman and disbursed by a commercial bank, was originally

repayable in ten equal annual instalments, commencing from 8 April

2005 and carried 3% (2007 - 3%) rate of interest.

 

b) The Company had applied for the restructuring of the repayment

schedule prior to the first instalment falling due for payment. Since

the restructuring schedule was not finalised, the Company did not

settle the first, second and third instalments that were due during

the years 2005, 2006 and 2007 nor did the bank demand the settlement

of these instalments.

 

During the year, the repayment of the Government soft loan was

rescheduled by the Ministry of Finance as follows:

 

- annual instalments of RO 20,000 each payable during the years 2008

and 2009;

 

- the balance over 10 equal annual instalments of RO 496,000 over the

years 2010 to 2019;

 

c) The penal interest arising as per the terms of the loan agreement

on account of non payment of the first, second and third instalments

of the loan as per the original repayment schedule has not been

provided in these financial statements, as neither does the loan

restructuring proposal indicate penal interest nor has the bank

confirmed penal interest at the balance sheet date.

 

d) The loan is secured by a charge on the Company's property, plant

and equipment [note 4 d)].

 

e) In accordance with IAS 39 and the Capital Market Authority

circular 01/2002, the Company has determined the fair value of the

term loan by discounting the repayments at 8% (being the commercial

borrowing rate) and recognised the discounted present value as the

loan liability. The balance has been transferred to deferred

Government grant account.
