Unaudited NAV 31 March 2018
Bluefield Solar (LON: BSIF), a sterling income fund that invests
in UK-based solar assets, announces its net asset value ("NAV") as
at 31 March 2018. Unless otherwise noted herein, the information
provided in this announcement is unaudited.
The Company's NAV at 31 March 2018 was GBP417 million, or 112.81
pence per Ordinary Share, compared to the NAV at December 2017 of
GBP416 million, or 112.40 pence per Ordinary Share. The NAV is cum
the 1.8 pence per Ordinary Share dividend announced on 19 April
2018, and payable on 18 May 2018, in the same way the 31 December
NAV was cum the 1.8 pence per Ordinary Share dividend announced on
8 January 2018, which was paid on 9 February 2018.
On 19 April 2018, the Company announced the acquisitions of
Galton, Holly and East, totalling 13.9 Megawatt peak ("MWp") in
capacity. The acquisitions were completed on 20 March 2018.
Therefore, the projects have been included in the 31 March 2018 NAV
on an invested cost basis.
The Company's NAV at 31 March 2018 reflects the adoption of the
most recent power curves published by the Company's two independent
power forecasters (which the Company blends on a 50/50 basis), one
of them slightly higher, the other one unchanged. The NAV update
further includes the application of Ofgem confirmed ROC buyout
prices from April 2018 and a roll forward of portfolio working
capital. The resulting NAV at 31 March 2018 shows little change
from the Company's NAV at 31 December 2017.
All other core valuation assumptions have remained consistent
with the NAV issued in the Company's financial statements for the
period ending 31 December 2017.
