COALITION PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY
BAGHDAD
March 15, 2004
FOR:
Strategic Plan Objective Holders and Designated Representatives.
FROM:
Director Policy Planning and Analysis -(b)(6) SUBJECT: The CPA Strategic Plan - Planning and Reporting Process.
Introduction
1.
Directors, Senior Advisors and CJTF-7 C-5 were advised by an Action Memo, dated 15 January 2004, of the Strategic Plan reporting process that would drive forward delivery of our priority objectives enabling the CPA and CJTF-7 executive leadership to better monitor and so .
manage progress. Since then the Strategic Plan has migrated to the Oracle database, some necessary modifications to the reporting process have been made and there has been a change- over of some of the personnel involved in planning & reporting. Unfortunately, these changes have led to a decline in familiarity with the correct reporting process, and consequently, I believe it timely to issue a reminder of the reporting requirements and the process to be followed, particularly as we are soon to enter the last quarter before TOA when progress monitoring of the Plan will be increasingly important.
Weekly Reporting
Weekly reporting is required to be done by Objective Holders, or their designated representatives, against the Tasks within the Strategic Plan. Every week each Strategic Plan Objective Holder (e.g. Governance, Strategic Communications) is to update the Strategic Plan database, providing:
i)
a status narrative entry against each Supporting Task. The narrative will cover a) whether progress is on schedule and b) any appropriate significant events (significant vents may include those that occurred during the reporting period, and/or events tha vill occur that should be brought to the attention of management ii) a color code at Supporting Task, Key Task and Objective level. (Unfortunately, since migration to the Oracle database, this function has been available only for Supporting asks; however, the system is being modified to allow Objective holders to make th implete selection. Complain of tha wark is expected by 18 March, In th in OPPA to discuss allocation of color UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED
3.
The information required is to be collated during the week and input by Objective Holders or their designated representative directly to the Strategic Plan by latest 1800hrs every Thursday. The Strategic Plan inputs will be reviewed by OPPA on Friday. A further Review Meeting will be held Friday at 1430hrs to validate the inputs.' On the basis of the inputs, a Strategic Plan Status Check will be drafted by OPPA and
4.
briefed to the Executive Board on Sunday. The Status Check will provide an overall synopsis of significant activity by Core Foundation and also highlight those significant tasks that are Red or Amber. Also, the Executive Board briefing will focus on CPO ministries and COO, respectively, on alternate weeks. Prior to each meeting OPPA and the Executive Board will determine on which Ministry to focus. This will enable the Executive Board to focus upon areas where there are problems with the implementation of the Plan.
Monthly Reporting
5.
During the last week of each month OPPA will collate changes to the Plan and produce an updated hard copy Strategic Plan for Ambassador Bremer for the forthcoming month. The updated copy will be issued with a covering memo detailing key changes to the Plan in the preceding month and likely areas of risk. Consequently, Objective Holders are to ensure that any agreed updates to the Plan itself as well as updates to status narratives for that week are completed by 1800hrs on the last Thursday of each month at the latest.
Conclusion
The combination of the existing daily reports to COO and CPO and the process of regular updates to the Strategic Plan will provide a wealth of material from which reports can be extracted at varying levels of granularity. In addition to the overviews for the Executive Board, IMU will be able to produce narrative reports for customers in Washington. CPO, COO and CJTF-7 (C-9) will also have access to the data they need to conduct more detailed analysis of developments in narticular areas of concern. The OPPA PoC for help with access to the Strategic Plan is (b)(6) Action As we work towards the 30 Jun deadline we have a good overall plan. In order to
7.
improve implementing plans, synchronize our efforts, focus on problem areas and report our progress to the world, we must report progress on our objectives, key tasks and supporting tasks on a weekly basis. Each ministry and Strategic Plan Objective Holder must engage to track and applicable) are completed by 1800hrs on the last Thursday in each month.

Challenges
• Liquidity problems and undercapitalization
• Electricity
• Customer demand
• Capital expenditure budgeting
• Security
• Capacity
• Freedom to conduct business
- Many SOE lack incentives due to policy
- Lack clear guidance on how to proceed
• Unclear what the starting balance sheet is due to:
- Current inventory and fixed assets changes daily with looting and security issues
- Historical financials difficult to obtain
- One time accounting adjustments for war not determined yet
CPA MIM SOE Forward Strategy To address
• Liquidity problems and undercapitalization
- 2003 grant allocation ($130 million required - <$60 million received) - last 50% distributed in January 2004
- SOE loan program issues:
• Lack of professional due diligence standards from Iraqi accountants
• KPMG product disappointing
• TAGI (Najaf Tire) to loan review in mid January
- Operational budget for 2004 not articulated clearly
• Clear guidance required on "Support to SOE" pot
• MIM has clear vision on how to proceed for 2004:
- Limit salary subsidy to firms that need it (3,6,9 and 12 month options) and allow MIM to reallocate balance Operations, capital expenditures etc.
» Army rent proceeds
» Fund reclassified SOE to Agency status (Industrial Promotion, Geological Survey, etc.) with operating budget » Offer a voluntary severance package » Pay private sector creditors ($100 million outstanding): Cement Factory $6 million;
Rubber Company over 3 year A/P
- Limit MIM salary schedule to 2003 wage level and use new salary schedule to provide a "production bonus" vice "profit bonus development strom monetied assets and profits to rebuild where feasible and establish a
CPA MIM SOE Forward Strategy To address
• Electricity
- Delivered 11MW of small generating capacity to SOE
- Independent Power Producers
• Program benefits
- Private sector investors ($560 million investment) assume risk - deliver electricity to factories on a KWh price.

• Project issues
- CPA MoE expressing interest to dovetail on project
• Customer Demand
- Obtained upward of $7 million in contracts for NIA
- Attempting to secure interest with MoE
- Issue of bidding on USAID/Bechtel Contracts directly (can become a sub)
CPA MIM SOE Forward Strategy To address:
• Capital Expenditure Budget Non existent other than loan Banking standards are 10-30% equity in a loan deal Many viable companies can not provide amount (Petro-chemical firms still not operating due to lack of gas pressure and electricity) Need for operating budget with CAPEX for select firms May need to revisit policy preventing the rebuilding of destroyed firms
• Security
- MIM "Train the Trainer" FPS (from improvised force to organized force) Routine issues with Coalition forces to resolve given MIM footprint

-
Management Capacity
• NFTE training (entrepreneurship 101)
- Organizational Capacity
Establishing "Lease Arrangements" for the non strategic industries
- Eighteen (18) in first round... fifty three (53 proposals) Reviewing "Management Contracts" and other arrangements

- Funding request
Iraqi Accounting and Management Consulting firms engaged
-
Basis for loan program
• Establish financial reporting capacity - teach them how to manage cash
- World Bank/IMF training must incorporate Ministry and SOE
CPA MIM SOE Forward Strategy To address:
• Freedom to Conduct Business
- No incentive to operate like a business
• 95% of profits go up to Ministry of Finance
- Could create a "cash crunch" for firms as they repay debt schedule and attempt to operate
- Risk preventing some from pursuing loans
• Workers paid the same regardless of productivity
- Lack clear guidance on how to proceed
• Issue is management reluctance to act and assume responsibility
• Lack of Clarity on Starting Balance Sheet
- Supreme Board of Auditors need to make a ruling on accounting adjustments from war and CPA policy
- Nation wide adjustment required toward GAAP accounting principles

CPA MIM SOE
Conclusion
Each Ministry needs to manage its own SOE in a status quo - non privatized environment eed to review each SOE on an independent basis for continuing pport - no all encompassing approach will work

3. At present, it appears that these functions are not being fully implemented in the Ministry of Industry and Minerals, nor in any other ministry (though the Ministry of Planning is giving some attention to long term development). It seems that about 95% of the work of the Ministry of Industry and Minerals is devoted to supervising, directing and problem-solving for the SOEs.
4. Hence it is proposed that there should be a fundamental re-direction of the Ministry of Industry and Minerals :
- away from being a holding company for SOEs, and towards being an industrial development and regulatory agency
- away from the operational management of companies, and towards the policy management for industrial sectors
- away from developing and protecting state enterprises, and towards promoting the private sector
- But, in the short term, it will be unavoidable to continue some of the traditional operations of the Ministry, though in this respect it is proposed that there should be a fundamental shift away from direct control by the Ministry over the company managers, to indirect control by the Ministry through the boards of directors with a performance contract between the board (represented by the chairman of the board) and the Ministry.
5. Accordingly, the proposed new structure for consideration by the Minister contains the following main divisions and modules. A 'modular' organisational structure is deliberately suggested so that each organisational 'module' could be moved around from one division to another division of the Ministry, or transferred out of the Ministry of Industry and Minerals and into another agency, or another module could be transferred from another Ministry into the Ministry of Industry and Minerals.
This proposed restructuring will require some redirection and also retraining of staff. In particular, those staff in the Ministry who have previously concentrated on controlling the SOEs will need to refocus on managing industrial market sectors, covering both the private and the state-owned factories in the sector. Also, and most important, the delegation of control over the SOEs away from the ministry to the boards of directors will need a special corporate governance training programme for all directors.
The proposed Ministry organisational structure will consist of :

PROPOSED RE-ORGANISATION
OF
MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY AND MINERALS
For Discussion

PROPOSED RE-ORGANISATION
OF
MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY AND MINERALS
For Discussion
1. The proposed re-organisation is directed by the strategic functions of the Ministly, based on à Function Review.
The Function Review forms an analytical process which works through a series of simple questions to help identify the needs for various types of organisational forms.
The most important element of the Function Review is that it ensures that the organisation structure is driven by the strategic function of the Ministry, not the other way round.
The key questions in the Function Review are :
1) What are the essential functions which must be done to promote the industrial and minerals development of Iraq?
2) Who is carrying out these functions now ?
3) How are they carrying out these functions - well or badly ?
Why are these particular agencies or people carrying out these functions ?
5) Is there anyone else who would be able to do the job better (including the private sector) ?
6) What are the current main operations of the Ministry of Industry and Minerals ? Do these fit in with the essential functions which are needed ?
7) Is the Ministry carrying out the right functions at the right time in the right place with the right people at the right cost and with the right results ?
These are simple questions, butthey are invariably not so simple to answer.
2. The essential functions which naust be done to promote the industrial and minerals development of fraq are outlined in the Draft Green Paper and are suggested to be :
a) Long term strategic policy formulation for industrial and minerals development
b) Promotion of the competitiveness of national industry and mining
• Regulation of the industrial and minerals sectors, especially through
c)
ensuring free and fair market competition, proper standards for the protection of public interests, and self-regulation
d) Promotion of both national and foreign direct and indirect investment in industry and mining
e) In the short and medium term, the restruoturing and privatisation of the Ministry's SOEs
t) In the immediate term, the restart of the state and private industrial and nining companies to provide critical supplies for reconstruction, cover all or part of the costs of the salaries, and activate the economy through the industrial supply chain.
3. At present, it appears that these functions are not being implemented at all in the Ministry of Industry and Minerals, nor in any other ministry (though the Ministry of Planning is giving some attention to long term development).
Hence the main issue is not so much whether these functions are being performed well or badly but whether they are being done at all, and why the ministries are not carrying out these functions. It seems that the main operations (about 95% of the work) of the Ministry of Industry and Minerals are devoted to supervising, directing and problem-solving for the SOEs.
4. Hence it is proposed that there should be a fundamental re-direction of the Ministry of Industry and Minerals:
- away from being a holding company for SOEs, and towards being an industrial development and regulatory agency and towards promoting the private sector
- But, in the short term, it will be unavoidable to continue some of the traditional operations of the Ministry, though in this respect it is proposed that there should be a fundamental shift away from direct control by the Ministry over the company managers, to indirect control by the Ministry through the boards of directors.
5. Accordingly, the proposed new structure for consideration by the Minister the following main divisions and modules. A 'modular' organisational structure is deliberately suggested so that each organisational 'module' could be moved around from one division to another division of the Ministry, or transferred out of the Ministry of Industry and Minerals and into another agency, or another module could be transferred from another Ministry into the Ministry of Industry and Minerals.
The proposed Ministry organisational structure will consist of :

Ministry of Industry & Minerals
1. Security - State Enterprises need adequate security to ensure that personnel, plant, and equipment are secure.
2. Employment - Determine adequate personnel levels for the Ministry and the state companies and determine how to reduce over-employment. We should identify the most competent managers in each industry sector and at company plants to act as decision making heads that report progress directly to the Minister. The minister should reorganize the Administration Department to be more flexible and expedient in addressing urgent personnel issues.
3. Management - Restructure the strongest of the SOEs to enable those firms that are self sustaining to grow and prosper as independent entities, while successfully exercising Leasing and Liquidation strategies for the weaker firms and plants. Strengthen the Administration and Accounting Departments ' to improve budget and fiscal accountability, monitoring and tracking of funds; we should also revamp and strengthen the Technical Department to track progress and identify areas of potential future growth, while identifying solutions to problems and concerns. We should establish clear lines of responsibility for each DG, and draft a Standard Operating Manual to establish the means of accomplishing tasks and initiatives in an efficient and effective manner.
4. Essential Needs Assessment - Upon completion of the SOE assessments, fine tune and streamline plans for obtaining Liquidity, Electricity, and Raw Materials to enable SOEs to re-open or expand operations. Identify necessary modifications to production, sales and marketing that will enhance the viability of existing firms. (It is not enough simply to get companies running again, they must produce products that are high quality, attractive and durable, and able to compete with growing import competition.) http://intranet.orha.centcom.mil/Government/OPP/ANNEX 2/8/2004 _A.htm

Restructuring the State-Owned Banks of Iraq Issue: Whether and when to move beyond the initial rehabilitation of the state-owned banks to a fundamental restructuring of bank operations, organizations, and ownership.
Considerable efforts to rehabilitate and strengthen the state-owned banks are underway.
In an early stage, these efforts were directed to assessing bank needs, enhancing security, reopening branches, restoring communications, and supporting other institution-building activities. In the present stage, key bank strengthening activities include:
• Modernizing bank operating policies, procedures, and systems
• Strengthening accounting practices and reporting in compliance with international accounting standards (IAS)
• Upgrading internal budgeting, monitoring, and financial review processes
• Improving bank automated systems and information technology infrastructure
• Revising credit policies, procedures, and systems in compliance with international best practices
• Providing comprehensive training programs for bank managers and staff It is now necessary to consider whether and when to realign the organizational structures of the state-owned banks and to prepare them for ownership transfer to the private sector.
In the next stage, a fundamental financial and organizational restructuring would include the following activities:
• Completing balance-sheet adjustments for each institution
• Adopting international best practices for disclosure and transparency
• Improving bank management and governance mechanisms
• Rationalizing nationwide branch networks and consolidating
• Developing and implementing smarine business plans
• Transferring bank ownership to the private sector Further discussion of the current condition and proposed restructuring of the state-owned banks follows. The discussion assumes that fundamental restructuring will be reinforced by a strong legal framework and effective bank supervision.
R/R.
- Fold + non performing Keries
Current Condition of the State-Owned Banks Bank Structure
• The two large commercial state-owned banks, Rafidain and Rasheed, together account for about $1.8 billion in assets or about 86 percent of the total assets in the banking system.
• The two banks maintain about 330 branches, of which about 260 branches are currently open. Together, the two banks have more than 2.8 million deposit accounts and 14,500 employees.
• The four small specialized state-owned banks (i.e., the Agricultural Cooperative Bank, Industrial Bank, Real Estate Bank, and Socialist Bank) together account for about 7 percent of the total assets in the banking system.
• The four banks maintain about 50 branches. Although they were established originally to serve specific sectors of the Iraqi economy, since 1997 they have been authorized to conduct general commercial banking activities.
Bank Assessment
An overview assessment of the state-owned banks was conducted by a team of U.S. Treasury banking advisors, supported by USAID contractor personnel. Its findings are summarized below.
• The available financial statements of the six state-owned banks indicate unusual asset/liability structure and weak financial condition. The six banks hold large amounts of cash and government securities, but relatively small amounts of loans and other assets.
• In general, the state-owned banks are undercapitalized, with poor asset quality and weak management structures. Although the banks have adequate liquidity, they rely heavily on interest income from Iraqi Treasury bills for their earnings.
• In addition, the state-owned banks are in poor physical condition and require substantial rehabilitation of their facilities, information systems, and office equipment. Managers and staff need training in modern banking practices.
- 2 -
Necessity for Restructuring the State-Owned Banks Microeconomic Considerations
• Several of the state-owned banks present liquidity and solvency concerns, and all of the banks face unresolved issues including attachment risk impeding foreign operations, the treatment of intra-government obligations, and high levels of non- performing assets resulting from many years of government-directed activity.
• Of particular concern are capital adequacy, asset quality, and management depth.
For example, the system-wide total capital ratio is about 2 percent (compared to a legal requirement of 12 percent) and non-performing loan ratios range from 50 to 90 percent of total private credit.
• The continuing process of rehabilitation will not address the underlying structural problems of the state-owned banks such as excessive staff, inefficient operations, and inadequate competition.
Macroeconomic Considerations The weak condition of the state-owned banks is impeding the recovery, growth, and development of the real enterprise sector and, to some degree, of the other institutions and markets in the financial sector. The macroeconomic results are lower employment, income, growth, and security.
• In the short to medium term, a restructuring of the state-owned banks will be an important component of the effort to re-establish financial services to the Iraqi economy and to increase employment, income, growth, and security.
• Proper management and ownership structures, within a regulatory framework that is consistent with international best practice, are essential to financial strength and systemic stability.
Other Considerations
• The weak condition of the state-owned banks could make the Iraqi economy vulnerable to a banking and financial crisis, in the event of further internal conflicts or external shocks.
• The international financial institutions (i.e., IMF and World Bank) may be expected to require financial-sector restructuring and reform as part of the conditionality of programs for financial and technical assistance.

Key Elements of Restructuring the State-Owned Banks Strategic Planning
• Government decision-makers must recognize the breadth and depth of problems in the state-owned banks.
• Early commitment to bank restructuring should be followed by early action on a multi-year strategic plan.
• It is necessary to develop and implement such a plan to enhance the value of the banks in preparation for an ownership transfer to the private sector.
Management Structures
• New management and governance structures are needed to guide the restructuring process and to oversee plan implementation, with operational independence from the Ministry of Finance.
• Efficient and effective institutional arrangements must be adopted to value bank assets, adjust balance sheets, and resolve non-performing loans.
• New management must have broad powers and political support to close insolvent institutions and to merge weak institutions despite criticism and opposition.
Restructuring Goals
• The overall goal is to create a competitive, privately-owned banking system that operates in accordance with international best practices.
• Bank supervision policies and procedures must be strengthened in order to avoid recurring problems and repeated restructurings of the banking system.
- 4 -
Bank Restructuring Proposal and Organization Restructuring Components
• A restructuring proposal for the state-owned banks involves three components:
(1) the creation of a new management structure, named the Bank Restructuring Committee (BRC), for the state-owned banks; (2) the design and implementation by the BRC of a restructuring plan for the state-owned banks; (3) the preparation and execution of an ownership transfer of the state-owned banks to the private sector. The components may require more than two years to implement in full.
Management Structure
• In the first component, the BRC will be established as a new and independent management committee with broad power to determine the activities, operations, and structures of the six state-owned banks. Its members, appointed by the CPA Administrator, will design a bank restructuring plan, oversee the implementation of the plan, and provide strategic guidance to bank management. The boards of the two large state-owned banks will also be reorganized, with new members, to support the restructuring process.
Restructuring Plan
•
In the second component, the restructuring plan for the state-owned banks will be designed and implemented by the BRC. It will include activities such as asset valuation, balance-sheet adjustments, the disposition of non-performing loans, a rationalization of the branch network, and new loan programs to enhance value.
The four specialized state-owned banks will be consolidated and merged into the Rafidain Bank and/or Rasheed Bank at the outset of the restructuring process.

Proposed Re-organizational Plan Submission from CPA
MIM Planning Considerations MIM must restructure to deal with two concurrent missions (the twin pillars) in mind:
• Performing as a holding company for State Owned Enterprises
• Performing as a government agency responsible for industrial and mineral development.
The former is short-term in nature (adjusted as privatization occurs)... the later is long term in nature (shall develop in time).
MIM Planning Considerations MIM must restructure with Iraq's and the Ministry's future in mind:
• Iraq becomes market oriented
• The Ministry
- Focuses on assisting the private sector in industrial and economic development
- Becomes a leaner organization
- Must manage an organizational transition (phased reorganization)

• Planning, Auditing, Investing and Budgeting are one Directorate
- anything of a financial/resource nature should be consolidated and combined with planning
- Identify ends, ways, means
• Plans presented, assessed, discussed and approved prior to new fiscal year
• Plans are assessed during the year and at years end to assess targets

Strategic Plan - MIM
1. Restructuring - The Ministry of Industry and Minerals envisions transitioning from a holding company of state owned enterprises (SOE) to an Industrial Development Agency. The MIM has developed a conceptual restructuring plan (with organizational chart). Critical to this restructuring is disposing of the SOEs (privatizing, liquidating, restructuring). Its short term objectives including privatizing the management of the SOEs through leasing programs. The Ministry's goal is to achieve its SOE disposition within 2-5 years. A rationaly organized short term holding company will be established to manage the operations of the SOE.
2. Industrial Development - Essential to the above transformation is the Ministry's evolvement into an Industrial Development Agency. The Ministry will embark on industrial park development and establish industrial development program activities to assist the private sector in business development and to attract foreign direct investment. With private competition many of these firms will eventually disapear. The Ministry is moving toward establishing public-private partnerships and organizations to provide strategic and operational guidiance to the Ministry.
3. Management - The Minister anticipates that the necessary restructuring will require a substantial change in the DG leadership of the Ministry. In addition a substantial training program is necessary to reorient the staff from a socialist/planned economic model to a market oriented economic model as the means to develop the Iraqi economy
4. Economic Development - the immediate goal of the Ministry is to get select SOE's operational as soon as possible. The IPP i(and other electricity sources) is essential to this process. The leasing program will assist some of the marginal firms to achieve meaningful production levels.

(Draft) Financial Assessment December 2003 1 Introduction Background
1.1
In November 2003, KPMG Bahrain (hereafter, "KMG") were requested by the Ministry of Industry and Minerals (hereafter "MIM") and the Coalition Provisional Authority (hereafter "CPA") to complete certain procedures on Iraqi Cement Company (hereafter "ICC" or "the Company").
1.2
Scope of engagement
Details of the procedures completed are set out in our engagement letter, as shown in appendix 1, and related findings are set out in this report.
The engagement has been carried out in accordance with the terms set out in our engagement letter dated 12 October 2003 as shown in appendix 1. This report documents our findings based on fieldwork performed from 17 November 2003 to 3 December 2003, inclusive.
The primary purpose of this report is to assist MIM and CPA in their assessment of the current status of ICC by performing certain agreed upon procedures. The procedures we have undertaken are limited in nature and extent to those which MIM and CPA have determined will best suit their needs and as such will not necessarily disclose all significant matters about ICC or reveal irregularities, if any, present in the underlying information.
The procedures we have undertaken during the course of the engagement do not constitute an audit.
Accordingly, we do not express any opinion as to the accuracy or completeness of the information included in this report. Had such audit(s) been undertaken, then our findings could differ from the information presented herein.
We have no responsibility to update this report for transactions and events occurring after the completion of our fieldwork on 3 December 2003.
We were requested under the terms of this engagement to assist ICC in the preparation of Prospective Financial Information ("PFT") for the 12 month period ending 31 December 2004 as set assumptions will need to be reviewed and revised to reflect such changes in trading patterns, cost of the projections.
Since the forecasts/projections relate to the future, actual results are likely to be different from the projected results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and the differences may be material.

Scope restrictions
13.1
Preparation of 2003 balance sheet MIM requested that KPMG prepare a balance sheet as at 31 August 2003 as detailed in our engagement letter attached in appendix 1. MIM informed us that the necessary information would be available for 2003 to enable KPMG to perform this work. This was also confirmed to us by ICC.
However while performing our work, we encountered the following significant limitations in information available to us:
• No general ledger, sub-ledgers or interim financial statements for the year 2003 were available;
• We understand that the accounting records for the pre-war business activities of ICC were recorded and maintained at the Head Office. After the war, the accounting records have only been maintained on a factory by factory basis. For 2003, the factories were only able to provide us with the monthly net debits/credits per factory which is not sufficient to be able to compile a balance sheet as requested by MEM; and A
• We were provided with limited access/ to ICC staff largely due to their current working hours during the Ramadan period (9:00-12:45 each working day) and the fact that Fridays are a holiday. In addition, our work was performed during the Eid holiday where the premises were closed for 3 days. It should be noted that these potential access limitations had been raised with MIM and the Coalition Provisional Authority (hereafter "CPA") prior to our field visit and we had been assured that appropriate members of ICC staff would be available to assist us.
Due to the above restrictions, we were unable to prepare a balance sheet for 2003 as requested by MIM in our engagement letter attached as appendix 1.
On 22 November 2003, we submitted a "status update" to Rick Ortiz, Senior Advisor to MIM, which we understand was distributed to the interim Minister of MIM, ICC and the CPA. This status report stated that in the absence of any financial information for the year 2003, we would prepare a summarized balance sheet as at 31 December 2002.
This report should be read in conjunction with the "status' report referred to above and attached as appendix 4.
Limited discussions and field visits
1.3.2
In addition, it should be noted that we were unable to visit two of ICC's four plants, those located in Al-Qaim and Kubaissa, due to security issues in those areas. As a result, the points raised in this report are mainly based on discussions with management of and field visits to ICC's head office and _2 This document is private and confidential and is to be read and used only in the context of the current status of the iragi Cemens Compar.

Inventory and fixed asset counts During our visit to the two factories and the Head Office, we have performed a physical count and/or observation of the inventory and fixed assets. However no accounting records were available to compare our results to the books.
1.4
Approach and procedures
Our approach to this engagement involved the performance of the following procedures:
• Inspecting the 2002 long form audit report issued by Iraq's Supreme Board of Auditors;
• Inspecting the ICC general ledger and certain supporting documents for the financial year 2002;
• Field visits to two factories (Fallujah and Kirkuk) and the Head office of ICC;
• Holding discussions with ICC senior management at ICC's Head Office;
• Holding discussions with financial management of the four factories and the Head Office of
• Holding discussions with the head of ICC's planning department; and
• Holding discussions with the head of ICC's-legal department.
Other issues
1.5
Management of ICC have not read this report, nor have they verified the factual accuracy of the information contained herein, or provided us with any written representations in this regard.
All monetary figures in this report are presented in Iraqi Dinars (ID), thousands of Iraqi Dinars ("ID_k"), millions of Iraqi Dinars ("ID _mn") or billions of Iraqi Dinars ("ID_bn").

(Drafi) Financial Assessmen December 2003 2 Executive summary
2.1 Current status in Iraq State of conflict
2.1.1
At the beginning of May 2003 the conflict between the Coalition Forces and Iraq ended by the removal of Saddam Hussein and the Baath party from power. Post conflict problems for Iraqis are un-employment, looting, crime and security. It is acknowledged that over the past few months the security of iraqi people has improved. However during the past months the Coalition Forces and the Coalition Provisional Authorities have been facing mounting attacks against their troops and their (sub) contractors. President George W. Bush, United Nations and the world's Islamic nations (during its Triennial Arab Summit of 16-17 October 2003) have pledged to fight terrorism and to support the Iraqi people.
Governing authorities
2.1.2
The adoption of the U.N. Security Council Resolution 1483 on 22 May 2003 marks a turning point in the historical pages in Iraq. It ends nearly 13 years of economic sanctions, encourages the international community to support Iraqis reconstruction, and supports the establishment of a transitional administration run by Iraqis. The resolution recognizes the authority of the Coalition Forces under the Fourth Geneva Convention as an "occupying power" (or Coalition Provisional Authority"). The CPA has the rights and obligations to take the lead during the interim period, not only in reconstructing and rebuilding Iraq in the near-term, but also in creating a process by which Iraqis can choose their future government. Unanimous adoption of the U.N. Security Council Resolution 1511 on 16 October 2003 confers U.N. legitimacy to US-led operations in Iraq.
On 13 July 2003 an Interim Governing Council was formed and subsequently recognized by the U.N. resolution 1511. They have recently approved to hold democratic elections of a governing body by June 2004.
2.1.3
Iraq's economy
According to the World Bank (WB), Iraq's economy will shrink 22 percent this year, having fallen 21% in 2002 and 12% in 2001. Average income fell from $3,600 per person in 1980 to $770-1,020 in 2001 and just $450-610 by the end of 2003.
However, with its huge oil and gas reserves, virtually unlimited supplies of water (the Tigris and Euphrates rivers) and a large well-educated population, Iraq, is expected to re-emerge as an important economic and hence political force in the Arab world. Iraq has a proven oil reserve of around 113bn barrels and a probable reserve of 220bn barrels. Saudi Arabia and Russia hold the world's largest proven reserves of around 270bn barrels each. According to 1997 figures, Iraq has proven gas reserves of 3,000bn cm. The oil minister has stated that Iraq has the potential to become the world's second or third largest holder of gas reserves.

2.1.4
Future expected political and economic developments The prospect of a stable, democratic, market based economy in a region relatively unattractive for Foreign Direct Investment is promising. Senate and US House representatives have recently approved a budget of $87bn to finance war against terrorism and for reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan. $18 billion of this has been allocated mainly to the reconstruction of Iraqi infrastructure. Other countries at the Donors' conference of October in Madrid for Iraqi reconstruction committed an additional $17bn. In addition, Paris Club has recently stated that it would consider canceling part of Iraq's $40bn debt. Reconstruction and development of the oil and gas industry could also contribute significantly to the Iraqi economy.
Over the past few months the Coalition Provisional Authority have passed a number of measures to allow an acceleration of the modemization of the iragi economy. These included the following:
• CPA no 39 allows foreign investors to set-up. a frade office, a branch, a subsidiary or a joint venture, or to acquire an investment in all sectors except banks, insurance companies or natural resources. Authorization was granted to repatriate frid.
• CPA no 37 reduces- substantially the level of taxation and sets the maximum tax rate on individual and corporate income át 15% as from 1 January 2004.
• CPA no 18 sets measures to ensure the independence of the Central Bank of Iraq.
• CPA no 20 establishes a Trade Bank of Iraq to provide financial services to facilitate import and export of goods and services.
• CPA no 40 set a new banking act in accordance with western practice. Total number of licences for banks controlled by foreigners is limited to six banks through 31 December 2008.

Overview of ICC
2.2
Background
2.2.1
1Ce ath payd in 1964 through the merger of three cement companies and their nationalization by ICC's core activities are the production and sales of cement through its four plants located in central Iraq. ICC's market share is approximately one-third of the Iraqi market.
Financial highlights
2.2.2
The financial highlights of ICC as at and for the years ended 31 December 2002 and 2001 are set out in the table below:

2.3
Key business issues
The key business issues which came to our attention during the performance of our procedures are summarized below:
2.3.1
Security issues
The ongoing security issues throughout Iraq are detrimental to the Company's business and have the following key effects:
• Misappropriation of the physical assets;
• Delayed travel for employees going to work at the plants from their homes in the cities;
• Additional security costs incurred for the business;
• Delays in the transportation of ray materials and spare parts; and
• A lack of access to international expertise.
2.3.2
Lack of electricity
Currently, ICC does not have electricity to operate their production lines. As a result, since the end of the war, ICC's four plants have either not been operational or been operating on severely limited basis. We understand that ICC management is currently considering the purchase or leasing of electricity generators in order to secure at least a minimum electricity supply.
2.3.3
Cement demand
Currently, significant cement imports are being made from Iraq's neighboring countries. As a result the selling price per ton of cement has considerably increased, from approx. US$ 10 per ton before the war to currently over US$ 40-60 per ton.

kpmg
(Draft) Financial Assessment December 2003 Condition of ICC's facilities
2.3.4
ICC's production facilities were constructed over 20 years ago and are therefore old and in need of repair and modernisation;
There has been a lack of proper maintenance of fixed assets in ICC since the 1991 Gulf War resulting:
• Poor production efficiencies and wastage of raw materials;
• High consumption of energy; and
• Significant capital expenditure required in the future to restore maximum capacity.
Human resource issues
2.3.5
Due to the war, ICC's highly qualified technicians have either fled the country or were recruited by private companies. The hiring and training of technicians for the plants should be a key focus area for the Company in the future.
Financial management and staff require extensive training and guidance for ICC to be able to operate in and make the transition to a market economy.
2.3.6
Supplies
Raw materials, electricity, oil and transportation prices as well as salaries are in the process of being liberalized.
Raw materials used in ICC's production process (i.e. limestone, clay, iron ore and gypsum) have to be transported long distances to the plants. As a result, transportation costs are high and there are frequent cases of supplies not arriving at all.

2.4
Key financial issues
Set out below are some of the key financial issues identified as a result of our work:
2.4.1
Historical cost of production facilities The historical cost of the four production facilities of ICC was over USD 700 million. The current book value in ID is based on historical exchange rate for imported goods. However, if the current exchange rate is applied, then the net book value of the fixed assets of ICC as at 31 December 2002 amounts to USD 7 million.
To ascertain the market value of the production facilities, we would propose that a valuation is performed taking into consideration the technical condition of the assets, the completeness of the assets and their potential market value in a post-war Iraq.
2.4.2
Frozen monetary assets and liabilities Under [rule/law ROBERT], all monetary assets and liabilities from the pre-war period have been frozen. It is uncertain as to when the blocking of these assets and liabilities will be lifted and to what extent these assets and liabilities will still exist when the restrictions are lifted.
Grants
2.4.3
ICC has general reserves included in its 2002 equity of ID 16,5 bn which relate primarily to cash granted by the former Iraqi government for carrying out capital improvements. It is uncertain in a post-war Iraq whether these funds will be required to be repaid.
Other reserves
2.4.4
Included in ICC's equity in 2002 is a research & development reserve of ID 0.9 bn and a social reserve of ID 0.9 bn, which has been created from the income of ICC in prior years. Before the war, these reserves were to be paid to governmental institutions. Post-war, it is uncertain whether these reserves will still be required to be paid to these institutions. In any cases, until this issue is resolved by the new Iraqi government, these reserves should be recorded as liabilities of the Company.
IT limitations
2.4.5
The IT mainframe in place in 2002 is in the process of being changed to a PC based system provided by MIM. The mainframe has several system failures and the PC based system is not functioning properly at this time. As a result, limited information is available to ICC management to manage the business.

Business opportunities
2.5
During our work, we have noted the following areas which may represent significant strengths and opportunities for ICC in the future:
• Leadership qualities of the Director General;
• ICC's plants have not been "looted" except for some vehicles, small equipment and stock in Baghdad;
• There is a high demand for ICC's products at the moment in Iraq;
• t in the note cited rey time i on into die color in pred goods;

• ICC has comparatively low production costs of less than USD 10-15 per ton;
• The quality of ICC's products is well-recognized in the region;
• ICC has managed to retain a large number of its employees from the pre-war period; and
• ICC management have informed us that the Company could realize a limited productio apacity within a short period of time and without major capital investment 12 This document is private and confidential and is to be read and used only in the context of the current status of the iragi Cement Company.

2.6
Projections for the year 2004 We have assisted ICC management in the preparation of prospective financial information for the 12 month period ending 31 December 2004 as set out in appendix 3.
The following assumptions have been applied by ICC management to prepare these projections:
• The annual production in 2004 is estimated at 1.6 million tons of cement i.e. approx. 33% of the designed capacity.
• The total investment required over the next few years is estimated at USD 60 million. Half of this amount is expected to be invested in 2004 mainly for the acquisition of three generators for electricity and gear boxes for the mills. However these investments are not expected to improve the level of production but only to restart the production, Additional investments will be required to reach the maximum level of designed capacity of 4.8 million tons of cement.
• The average selling price is projected at USD 40 per ton and the production costs, on a full absorption basis, at around USD 30 per ton.
• Productivity gain or costs reduction have not been factored in the 2004 projections as it will require a detailed review and an implementation plan.
• Substantial increases in the purchase price of raw materials have been projected due to the expected liberalization of prices.
We must emphasise that the realisation of the forecasts/projections as prepared by ICC is dependent on the continuing validity of the assumptions on which they are based. The assumptions will need to be reviewed and revised to reflect such changes in trading patterns, cost structures or the direction of the business as emerge.
We accept no responsibility for the realisation of the projections or the validity of the assumptions of ICC management especially given the general uncertainty, both politically, socially and economically in Iraq at the current time.
Since the forecasts/projections relate to the future, actual results are likely to be different from the projected results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and the differences may be material.

3.1
Activities
3.1.1
ICC produces and sells cement from its four plants located in central Iraq. The cement is primarily designed for domestic use. In addition, ICC have two warehouses in Baghdad which will need to be upgraded and refurbished due to heavy "looting" after the war.
In addition, the Company extracts raw materials for some of its plants from its quarries.
3.1.2
Suppliers
3.1.3
- _
ICC's suppliers of raw materials and services are Iraqi companies while for equipment, machinery and spare parts, ICC rely on international suppliers.
Payments and receipts
3.1.4
ICC realizes sales and makes purchases primarily through cash advances in the form of certified cheques. However it should be noted that since the war ended, direct wire transfers are increasing.
Production facilities
3.1.5
he Company's plants are not operating at this time due to a lack of electricity. ICC manageme dicated that the plants could operate with a limited capacity within a short period of time sufficient power was made available.
ICC management indicated to us that the Company's production capacity could be significantly increased if appropriate capital improvements were made. Due to U.N. restrictions since 1991, there has been a lack of proper spare parts and trained international technicians available to ICC and as a result the plants have not been adequately maintained.

Iraqi Accounting Standards Standards and International Accounting
4.4.1
Differences between Iraqi Accounting Standards A summary of the main differences affecting the financial statements of ICC is summarized below.
• Although it is allowed to set-up provisions for non-recoverable assets, no provisions were made by ICC in connection with doubtful debts, slow moving inventory, and cash-in-transit and uncollected checks outstanding for a long period.
• Fixed assets fully depreciated but still in use continue to be depreciated until there are retired.
The excess depreciation is included in reserves.-
• Certain expenses are charged directly to reserves (e.g. social reserves) instead of profit and loss account.
• Accounting for grants received which become repayable when certain conditions are met.
• No accounting principles for hyper inflationary economy.
• Accounting for transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Various artificial exchange rates are used to purchase foreign goods, which distort the presentation of the balance sheet and the real profitability of the company.
• Annual allocation of profits to certain institutions (e,g. R&D institution) is shown in reserves until cash call and payment made. These reserves should be reclassified as payable.
• Accounting for litigation and claims are recorded only when paid.
• Limited disclosure notes.

• Machinery and equipment comprises the plant and machinery located at the four production sites (Kirkuk, Kubaissa, Fallujah and Al-Qaim) and the Head Office.
• The NBV increased during 2002 by approx. ID 14bn due to capital improvements made by ICC.
ICC management indicated to us that fixed asset additions during 2002 were recorded at an exchange rate of approx. 2,000 ID / US $1.
5.1.1.2 Looted assets
• In Baghdad, the Company has two warehouses, which were looted after the war. All the Company's stock in these warehouses was taken. ICC management informed us that one warehouse was completely "gutted" as all the doors, windows, and electrical connections were removed.
• In addition, ICC management indicated that approx. 10 cars/trucks, a bulldozer in Kirkuk, office equipment (computers, air-conditioning) and various small parts/tools were also looted.

5.1.1.3 Key limitations in fixed asset accounting
• The fixed asset sub-ledgers per plant did not reconcile to the general ledger by approximately ID 12 bn;
• Additions in 2002 after the computer system failure were not recorded;
• Certain fixed asset balances were recorded directly in the general ledger;
• The fixed asset sub-ledgers did not include total balances due to the system failure;
* The fixed asset sub-ledgers sub-totals do not total accurately; and
• The fixed asset sub-ledgers did not calculate depreciation for the 2002 additions. ICC management recorded depreciation directly in the general ledger.

5.1.2
Fixed asset count/
We performed a physical count of fixed assets at the production plants in Kirkuk and Fallujah and at the Head Office in Baghdad. As the company was unable to provide us with fixed assets sub-ledgers which reconcile to the general ledger, we were unable to trace the assets back to the books. However based on our discussions with the plant managers and our observations, plant, machinery and equipment located at both factories were not looted. Furthermore, although the Kirkuk factory was in a much better shape than the Fallujah factory, both would appear to be operational. Plant, nachinery and equipment at the head Office includes a production facility retired more than 2( years ago and a number of office buildings and warehouses which require major overhaul 22 This document is private and confidential and is to be read and used only in the context of the current status of the lragi Cement Compan.

As noted in section! 5.1.1.3, the printed fixed assets sub-ledgers by plant did not reconcile to the general ledger by approx: ID 12 bn' due to the computer system failure in mid-2002.
5.1.3.2
Acquisition cost
Set out below is an analysis of the historical acquisition cost of the Company's plants:
Cost per plant
(Expressed in million of US dollars) Kirkuk plant - built in 1984 by a Japanese company 200 Kubaissa plant - built in 1984 by a Japanese company 200 Al-Qaim plant - built in the 1980's by a Romanian company 150 Fallujah plant - built in 1970's by a German company 150 700 Source: ICC management.
We were unable to reconcile the above amounts provided by ICC management to original contracts as ICC management could not provide us with the relevant contracts. Reportedly, construction of a state-of-the-art facility, with a capacity of 2 million tons per year, would cost over $300 million.
The historical acquisition cost for fixed assets purchased in foreign currencies has been calculated based on a wide range of exchange rates over the last 20 years. It should be noted that no official exchange rates have been published by the country since the Gulf War in 1991.
A fixed exchange rate of 1 ID for USD 3.2 was used for a long period. This rate allowed Iraqi companies to purchase assets and spare parts at low costs, which however understated the historical cost of the assets when converted into Iraqi Dinars and overstated the annual profits as the depreciation charge is very low.

Iraqi Cement Company
kpmg
(Drat) Financial Assessment December 2003 The net book value of the fixed assets as at 31 December 2002 at the current exchange rate of 2000 Dinars for 1 US is USD 7,5 million and is significantly lower than the acquisition cost of over USD 700 million as reported by ICC management.
5.1.3.3
Design capacity
The design annual capacity for the four plants is as follows:
• Kirkuk: 2 lines with a total capacity of 2 million tons of Portland cement.
• Kubaissa: 2 lines with a total capacity of 2 million tons of Portland cement.
• Fallujah: 3 lines with a total capacity of 280,000 tons of white cement.
- Al-Qaim: 1 line with a total capacity of 500,000 tons of water resistant cement.
The Kirkuk and Kubaissa plants were built by a Japanese company and are similar in layout and designed capacity.
ICC management indicated to us that the Al-Qaim plant experienced production problems during the 1980s and final testing was never completed as the Romanian company responsible for building the plant left Iraq prior to the 1991 Gulf War.
ICC management indicated that the Falujah plant has experienced quality problems as the white cement (main product) was not compliant with international standards.
5.1.4
Depreciation rates
The single accepted method of depreciation in Iraq is on a straight-line basis. A summary of depreciation rates per major fixed asset category is set out below:
Rate
Fixed asset category
Land
Not depreciated
Quarries
Not depreciated
3 to 5%
Buildings
5%
Machinery and equipment
5%
Transportation equipment (e.g. bulldozers) 10 to 12% Vehicles Furniture & Fixtures 15% 20% Computers and printers Source: ICC management.
These rates are not in accordance with the Iraqi Accounting Standards. These rates have been promulgated by the Ministry of Finance for the Cement industry in Iraq as the assets in the cement industry are considered to have a longer life than that prescribed by Iraqi Accounting Standards.
According to Iraqi Accounting Standards, assets still in use after being fully depreciated must continue to be depreciated at 50% of the previous rate until the asset is retired. The amount of additional depreciation expense for 2002 for fully depreciated assets is recorded as a reserve in equity amounting to ID 806 mn.

5.1.5
Impairment provision
ICC management have not performed an impairment analysis on the four production plants. We visited the Kirkuk, Fallujah and Head Office facilities during our procedures. We did not visit the Al-Qaim and Kubaissa plants due to severe security risks.
Based on our discussions with plant personnel of those facilities we visited, we have not identified any significant impaired assets except as noted below.
• Production at
the Head Office ceased more than 20 years ago and, according to ICC management, is fully depreciated. This facility has been cannibalized for parts for the other facilities. These parts were transferred at zero value.
• The Fallujah plant has 3 lines built in the 1970's and 1 older line, which is currently not in use.
The line not in use is according to ICC management fully depreciated.
• ICC management indicated they want to improve the quality of the white cement and re-furbish the older line at Fallujah. The current capacity is sufficient for the Iraqi market of white cement.
ICC management believe that increased quality and capacity will allow for export sales of white cement which has a higher value than standard Portland cement.
• ICC management and plant personnel indicated that production in the plants visited could begin within a short period if sufficient electricity is supplied. While the plants need certain machinery and spare parts, the plants did operate during the period of U.N. sanctions. Machinery and spare parts were either obtained from Iraqi suppliers, produced by ICC or smuggled into the country.
ICC management indicated that no significant capital expenditures were needed to produce at limited capacity, around 30% of the designed capacity. Should ICC be required to produce at full capacity then significant capital expenditures would be required as described in section 7.
Other issues
5.1.6
• No significant non-core assets were identified based on the limited procedures performed.
• All plants are at least 19 years old with depreciation periods of between 20 - 33 years. See section 5.1.4 for comments on the 2002 depreciation expense.
• During our field visit, there was no production of cement at the plants due to a lack of electricity.
• The Head Office holds equipment and inventory for the production of packaging for the cement.
The equipment and inventory (700,000 bags) have not been used since the war. ICC management indicated that the equipment has been fully depreciated. However an adjustment for the impairment of any remaining book values in this regard has not been assessed or recorded by management.
• No borrowing costs have been capitalized by management. ICC management stated that the loan received in 2002 of USD 2.3 million was used to purchase spare parts.

5.4.1.1
ICC management indicated to us that the outstanding Letters of Credit noted above of ID 4,629,829k made before the war have been frozen. The status and recoverability of these letters of credit is not clear and no provision has been recorded for this amount.
Sales of inter-company raw materials and finished goods were recorded at "market value" and the closing inventory balance in each plant includes the gross margins earned on these transactions. We were unable to record an adjustment to eliminate this inter-company margin as insufficient information was available to us from ICC management.
5.4.1.2
"Looted" inventory
Inventory looted, as noted per ICC management, included certain finished goods at the Baghdad warehouses, explosives (used in extraction at the quarries), and various small parts and tools. A provision for these amounts has not been recorded and no details as to the amount of inventory looted was available to us.

5.4.2
Stock count
The inventory stock count performed by ICC personnel for the year 2002 noted no stock differences at any plants or warehouses. We indicated that to have no stock differences during a stock-count of a large entity with many different types of stock items (e.g. spare parts, finished goods, raw materials etc.) was unusual.
ICC responded that differences in stock take results were often deducted from employee salaries.
During our visit to the Kirkuk and Fallujah plants we noted that the spare parts warehouses were well organized and clean. In addition, ICC management indicated to us that a large number of spare parts had been smuggled into the country during the period of U.N. sanctions in the 1990's.
5.4.3
Valuation of inventory
As regards the valuation of the inventory balances recorded at 31 December 2002, we have noted the following key issues:
• The cost of raw materials varies due to transportation costs (depending on the location of the quarries) and suppliers.
• In Kirkuk, the local government sold raw materials to ICC at a very low cost while the Fallujah and Kubaissa plants purchased raw materials at market rates. The Al-Qaim plant extracted much of its own raw materials.
• The cost of spare parts varied due to exchange rates used, transportation costs and suppliers.
Spare parts imported over the past years included a significant commission for having been "smuggled" into the country.
These facilities have not been utilized since the start of the war. The quality and condition of the 700,000 bags held by ICC (purchase price is approx. USD 0,15 per bag) at the Head Office is in doubt as it has not been used for several months and may indeed never be used. ICC management indicated that these bags could be sold to the Northern or Southern cement companies. No provision has been recorded for these items in the accounting records. We have proposed that these items be written off (see adjustment 2 in section 2.4.6).
5.4.4
Inventory provision
An inventory provision of ID 1,293,814k has been recorded in the ICC general ledger as at 31 December 2002 and local financial statements as a credit balance in receivables (see 5.5.1 below).
his provision was recorded as a result of stock take differences noted in the 1999 physica nventory count. The related inventory has been reclassified to a suspense account in receivables le understand that this provision was only approved in 2002 and, as a result, the provision wa corded as a "prior year expense" in 2002 29 This document is private and confidential and is to be read and used only in the context of the current status of the Iragi Cement Comparv.

5.5.1.1 Details
• Sales at ICC were primarily made by cash advance payments except for entities closely related to Saddam Hussain. As such, trade accounts receivable are limited.
• ICC management indicated to us that the majority of the receivables noted above did not represent amounts owed to ICC but cash advances made to suppliers and unmatched cash disbursements. ICC management stated that the accounts receivable sub-ledgers may include amounts that have not been reconciled for as long as 20-30 years.
• A re-classification of ID 58 bn in assets and liabilities was recorded by the Supreme Board of Auditors in the final 2002 financial statements. We have not received any detailed analysis of this adjustment from ICC but we understand that in accordance with local Accounting Standards all debit amounts in payables are re-classified to receivables and all credit amounts in receivables are re-classified to payables. This adjustment is not reflected above or in the summary balance sheets presented in section 4.3 of this report.
Accounts receivable include inter-division transactions with a net amount of ID 177,762k, which have not been eliminated.
• ICC management informed us that none of the receivables due are denominated in foreign currencies.
• The Ministry of Finance has issued an order to delay all pre-war accounts receivable. The recoverability of these receivables is therefore unknown.

* The accounts receivable sub-ledgers for 2002 provided to us at the beginning of our work did not reconcile to the general ledger.
We further noted that the sub-ledgers were not the final versions;
• Final copies of all sub-ledgers were provided to the Supreme Board of Auditors but we were initially denied access to these documents;
• We requested the final sub-ledgers but the printer at the Head Office was broken and therefore they could not be provided to us at that time;
• On the last day of our procedures, we received the final accounts receivable sub-ledgers as these sub-ledgers were printed externally. We understand that the sub-ledger totals agreed to the general ledger but we were unable to perform additional procedures on these ledgers due to the time constraints; and
• In addition, we have not been able to access the provision required if any, for all cash advances made to suppliers for fixed assets or inventory.
5.5.2
Provision for doubtful debts
• In 2002 ICC operated primarily through cash advances for sales and as a result, only small doubtful debt provisions were recorded in 2002 (ID 10k).

For details on the composition and movements in sundry reserves, see section 5.10.3.1 below.
The capital reserves movement of ID 805,895k in 2002 relates to excess depreciation for fully depreciated assets. See section 5.1.4 on Fixed Assets for additional information.
The general reserves movement of ID 14,750,817k relates to cash and assets granted by MIM to ICC for capital improvements /at the plants. ICC management indicated that the amount should be recorded in general reserves and not as a loan, although if net income improved as a result of an increased production capacity then the grant would have to be repaid. No adjustment has been recorded by ICC management in the accounting records for such an eventuality. We have proposed that the 2002 balance of ID 16,432,267k be shown as a liability until the exact nature and amount of any obligation is determined (see adjustment 5 in section 2.4.6).
In addition, ICC management informed us that MIM had provided smaller grants to ICC in the years 2000 and 2001 which have been recorded as general reserves. No additional information or supporting documentation was available to us regarding these transactions.

(Draft) Financial Assessment December 2003 The research & development reserve of ID 0.9 bn and the social reserve of ID 0.9 bn were created from the income of ICC in prior years. Before the war, these reserves were to be paid to governmental institutions. Post-war, it is uncertain whether these reserves will still be required to be paid to these institutions. In any cases, until this issue is resolved by the new Iraqi government, these reserves should be recorded as liabilities of the Company. We have proposed an adjustment to reclassify these reserves as liabilities (see adjustments 6&27 in section 2.4.6).

(Draft) Financial Assessment December 2003 6 Commitments and contingent liabilities
6.1 Commitments
As regards the Company's commitments as noted in our report in section 5, the following issues should be taken into consideration:
• It is currently unclear whether pre-war sales commitments will be honored at current market rates (over USD 40-60 per ton) or contractual rates (+/- USD 10 per ton). However ICC management agree that they do have a commitment to deliver the quantity ordered. The head of legal department stated that there is currently a claim filed with the court by a customer of ICC to the effect that ICC will deliver the cement at the pre-war selling price i.e approximately USD 10 per ton instead of the current price of over USD 40-60 per ton. ICC management believe that ICC will win the court case on the basis that the change in the purchase price is as a result of exceptional circumstances. In these cases, ICC management is of the opinion that customers could either receive a refund of their cash advance payment or pay the current price per ton.
• Pre-war purchase commitments are not clear at this time. A list was submitted to MIM in October 2003 but the amounts have not been approved as of the date of this report.
Employee salaries are currently paid by the CPA. ICC expects to be able to start paying the aff salaries themselves during 2004. We are not aware whether the salaries paid by the CPA c behalf of ICC will require te be repaid to the CPA.
6.2
Contingent liabilities
The following key contingent liabilities should be taken into consideration as regards ICC's financial position:
• Penalties for past non-compliance with Iraqi Accounting legislation;
• Repayment of the government grants received totaling more than ID 16bn;
• Research and development reserves and social reserves may be transferred to the Government authorities;
• Frozen cash accounts and outstanding cheques / deposits-in-transit may not be recoverable;
• Frozen letters of credit may be not realised;
• Frozen bank loans may or may not be required to be repaid;
• Pre-war trade accounts receivables and payables may or may not be realised / required to be paid;
• The existence of the Company's fixed assets, the completion of the Company's construction-in- progress and the realization of the Company's advance payments for fixed assets of nearly ID 4bn;
• The realization of the Company's purchase commitments for spare parts and supplies from foreign companies; and 41 This document is private and confidential and is to be read and used only in the context of the current status of the Iragi Cement Companv.

Claims and litigation

Draft) Financial Assessmen kpmg December 2003 8 Sales Cycle Description and Cash Controls Under this engagement we have assessed certain matters involving ICC's internal controls and other operational matters. The comments and recommendations set out below are intended to assist in improving ICC's internal controls and increase ICC's operating efficiencies but are not al encompassing. These issues have been identified only as a result of the limited procedure:
performed under this engagement and therefore other issues may exist which are not included below.
Sales
8.1
Current status
8.1.1
• ICC's pre-war sales were co-coordinated by the Head Office.
• ICC's post-war sales are co-coordinated by each Plant due to changes in Head Offic communication issues (limited access to phones), and security issues whe management, traveling from the Head Office to the plants.
Pre-payments of goods is made by ICC's customers, usually by certified cheque, at a loc anch of one of two Baghdad ban!
Customers must submit proper building permits / proof of construction and the amount ement needed for that construction in order purchase ICC cement product
• In the majority of cases, the customers collect their cement at ICC's plant.
ICC management informed us that selling prices are set every two weeks during a meetin etween MIM and the GDs of the three Iraqi cement companies (Northern, Southern an
8.1.2 Potential Control Weakness / Improvements
• Plant managers control sales prices allowing for unauthorized discounts. No subsequent controls are in place to control the sales prices invoiced.
• Matching between the sales agreement to the actual sales price / cash received/ quantities doe lot occur. Significant discrepancies identified are not followed up on a timely basi.
A greater segregation of duties is required between ICC staff responsible for the loading dock nd for the weighing station. The controls over this process should be examined by IC management and clearly documented.

8.2
Petty Cash
8.2.1 Current status
• Each plant as well as 3 Head Office departments holds ID 150,000 of petty cash for small purchases such as office supplies.
• Petty cash reconciliations are performed monthly.
• Signed receipts from the cashier are required for each cash disbursement and are reviewed by another accountant.
8.2.2
Potential Control Weakness / Improvements
• Greater physical access controls to the petty cash should be implemented. There have already been instances where petty cash as has been stolen.
• Adequate descriptions over the use of petty cash should be maintained as there may be a lack of proper receipts / supporting documentation for many types of expenses in Iraq (taxi, office supplies purchased at small shops etc.).
• Authorisation limits and budgets should be set and monitored for petty cash disbursements.
• Reconciliations between physical cash and the petty cash records should be made on a timely basis with any differences followed up immediately.
• ICC management should monitor and approve the petty cash statements and reconciliations.
8.3
Salaries
8.3.1 Current Status
• The CPA currently pays the salaries of ICC's staff.
• Each employee should physically receive their own salary (no delegation should be allowed) and sign a cash receipt confirming their receipt.
Management should monitor the cash disbursements and the signatures on cash receipts.
• Cash not disbursed is returned to the ICC bank account until the next month.

Potential Control Weaknesses / Improvements
• 'Ghost' employees exist on ICC's list of employees.
• Salaries are provided to the wrong employees.
• Incorrect salary rates are paid.
Terminated employees are not recorded on the employee listing on a timely basis.
• 'Commissions' are charged on salary disbursement to employees by the cash disbursement employee.
• ICC management should monitor and approve the petty cash statements and reconciliations, and documented through a signature and date.
8.4
Current Status
8.4.1
• A list is prepared of all/cheques received. These cheques are then deposited with the bank.
8.4.2
Potential Control Weaknesses / Improvements
• The cheques should be endorsed immediately upon receipt. A sub-ledger should be maintained and copies of cheques received but deposited at the banks should be made.
• Cheque deposit slips should be reconciled to the cheques received sub-ledger by a person other than the person that originally prepared the sub-ledger.
• Physical access to cheques received should be limited.
• A formal written corporate policy for cash receipts should be drawn up and implemented.
• ICC management should monitor and approve the cheque received ledgers and deposits received by the bank. This process should be evidenced by a signature and date.

Bank Accounts
8.6.1 Current Status
• Pre-war bank accounts and outstanding cheques are currently frozen.
• Two accounts opened during November 2003 at the Rasheed Bank - an ID account and a US dollar account - in Baghdad. Bank branches near the plants have been opened for the receipt and disbursement of cash.
• The US dollar account has an official exchange rate of ID 1 / US $3.22.
8.6.2
Potential Control Weaknesses / Improvements
• Bank reconciliations should be prepared monthly and reviewed on a timely basis. Outstandin!
heques should be followed-up and documented also on a timely basis. During our field visit we noted that the bank reconciliations as at 31 December 2002 included outstanding cheques for several periods.
Cash management procedures need to be improved and re-organised. The Company's ability to monitor its overall cash position may be difficult due to the changing disbursements and receipts at each plant and the Head Office.

(Draft) Financial Assessment December 2003 10 Management Assessment Introduction
10.1
Set out below is a preliminary assessment of management of ICC based on the limited procedures performed under this engagement and our limited exposure to ICC management. These comments are for your information purposes only and for a more detailed assessment of ICC management a full scope investigation should be performed.
10.2
Management - General issues
• We understand that the DG of ICC is heavily inyolved in the day-to-day operations of the plants and appears to be quickly gaining control of the organization. The DG was directly involved in co-coordinating our procedures at the plants and the Head Office.
The previous government was a planned economy which was focused on production. As such, staff and management of state-owned entities were not as concerned with the quality of financial information and supporting documentation as is the case in wester market economies.
Furthermore, management were not motivated by the Company's financial results but rather the Company's production. Certain salaries / bonuses were linked to production outputs.
10.3
IT management
• The IT systems were previously provided by MIM. The current systems (software and hardware) are not functioning properly. A clear IT strategy should be implemented to improve the quality of financial information and non-financial information and ensure the effective operation of the Company's IT framework.
10.4 Accounting Department
• Financial information for the year ended 31 December 2002 had still not been finalized during certain financial statement balances and transactions.
• Accounting and financial errors made by accounting staff were deducted from employee salaries. For example, if there were differences between the accounting records and the physical inventory count at a plant than the difference could be taken from the relevant person's salary.
As a result, during the 2002 inventory count, there were no differences identified at any plants or 50 This document is private and confidential and is to be read and used only in the context of the current status of the Iraqi Cement Comparv.

Production Engineers
• During our plant visits, we met with several managers and engineers. We were however unable to assess the quality of these employees due to the technical nature of their work which is beyond the scope of our engagement.
While in Baghdad, we worked with the chief engineer of ICC, Nagib Teleb. He was very a perative in providing information for the projections, accompanied us on our plant visit t Kirkuk and displayed an excellent understanding of the cement industry.

Meeting your needs - the right audit approach We will conduct our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those conduct of our audit.

• Focuses on business processes rather than only accounting transactions; and
• Assisting in identifying performance improvement and cost reduction opportunities A highly focused audit plan Increased emphasis on key business risks Well-grounded judgment about key F/S assertions:

1 November 2003
FOR: SEE DISTRIBUTION
FROM: (b)(6)
Deputy Advisor/LNO Ministry of Industry and Minerals SUBJECT: Ministry of Industry and Minerals Trip Report A CPA Ministry of Industry Team (b)(6) with an traveled north from Iraqi Ministry of Industry staff (b)(6) the 26* to the 31* of October to discuss the following issues:
A. Distribution and Pricing of Cement a. Mosul.
The combined MIM team met with the Mayor of Mosul and local council attendance and others) on 27 October to discuss the pricing and distribution of cement. The combined MIM team met with the 101" Commander and Assistant regarding pricing (as well as security and labor-management issues).
ii. The combined MIM team expressed the position that the high price for cement would offset the large margins the local black market currently enjoys. This would eliminate black market activity. The 101 agreed that the issue required a supply side response allowing for: 1) higher prices in the short run by the cement factory to allow for available capital to rehabilitate the plant and 2) flooding the market with cement (using the good offices of a local reputable wholesaler) with imports.
iii.
The MIM met with the City Council to discuss the issue of pricing. The message was the MIM could achieve a level of production by late summer 2004 to In materially affect the level of supply and thus the lowering price of cement.
the end the civil leadership agreed that it would defer to the MIM regarding this issue.
b. Kirkuk. The combined MIM team met with the Mayor of Kirkuk and local council members along with members of the 173' Brigade (CMOC staff) to discuss the pricing and distribution of cement. The discussion raised the following issues:
i. The Mayor stipulated his position that as long as the Kirkuk Cement operation was a SOE he would treat it as a public interest of Kirkuk and be involved in its operations (question is one of oversight vs. supervision). He would want a say in
(b)(6)

UNCLASSIFIED
the distribution of cement. The City Council has also been involved in personnel matters of the firm (see security paragraph). This is not the intent of Bremer's 6 September memo.
ii. The MIM team welcomed the oversight but not the supervision of the factory by the civil leadership. The MIM's agenda is to see the firm placed on a sound commercial footing (in accordance with the CPA strategic plan) and this would require a laissez faire approach by the local civil leadership.
iii. The Mayor expressed concern about the distribution of cement (the allocation ends up in the black market) and would prefer to see the firm provide a controlled distribution to an end user (through a mechanism set up by the civil leadership). Since quotas are preferred to price controls this would be welcomed.
iv. The Kirkuk plant suffers from its proximity to Sulimaniya regarding the pricing issue where cement sells for $25 a bag. In Sulimaniya the Kurdish Prime minister thru the Kurdish MIM has set a price ceiling as well as controlled distribution. The Kirkuk leadership would prefer a similar arrangement.
v. It is recommended that a joint commission will be formed by the local civil and MIM leadership to review the above and other allegations of corruption.
vi. The local civil leadership expressed their concern about price controls as a means to regulate the black market. They indicated empirical evidence of factory price increases being followed by black market price increases. This suggests that a well established cartel exists that controls the distribution of cement and thus the pricing of cement.
B. Mishraq Sulfur. On 26 October the Combined MIM Team met with the 101" Brigade Commander and the plant leadership to integrate efforts to get the plant up and running.
a. This firm is the most viable entity in the MIM portfolio. It recently sold $22 million in sulfur and has another $66 million in ready inventory remaining. It sits on an estimated $25 billion of sulfur.
b. The Brigade Commander challenged the MIM team to reinvest sooner in the plant's rehabilitation (suffering from $25 million in looting and repairs) and to invest on a broad front (security, production equipment, etc.) and not phase the investment and rehabilitation process. The brigade commander committed to having a detachment of 101* soldiers on the ground to begin the process.
c. The 101" will be involved with the local plant management to assist in the reconstruction effort (bidding, oversight).
d. The key to the rapid rebuilding of Mishraq is to ensure the sale proceeds are provided to the SOE for reconstruction and not diverted to the MoF.
C. Geological Survey and Mining. On 27 October and 28 October the Combined MIM Team met with the Ministry of Industry and Minerals in both Irbil and Sulimaniya respectively. The tean was joined by the Director General of the Geological Survey and Mining Company a.
The Geological Survey will be reclassified by Private Sector Development as a government agency. This reclassification has not been formalized. However it will nee funding for its activities for 2004. Since the 2004 budget has been published, it i:

b. The Geological Survey would like to survey the Kurdish regions and outlined his plan to the Ministers. He also requested from the regional ministries financial support for the effort.
D. Security
A. Mishraq Sulfur - We met with (b)(6) 101 AASLT, 1 BCT FPS coordinator at the Mishraq site. He reported there were 271 FPS working at the site. He indicated that uniforms and weapons were available and would be issued soon. The MIM issue at this site is the lack of loyalty of the FPS toward the DG. Mr. Ali spoke with the FPS supervisor, a local tribal leader named Sheik Azeez Sinjar. The dialogue indicated that Mr. Sinjar wants to act as a power broker, deciding what he will and won't secure and also who will work at the site. Mr. Ali made it clear that if the FPS loyalty is to anything or anyone other than MIM and the DG they will be fired. The agreement reached was that the FPS here will undergo a two month "probation" and if their loyalty and performance are satisfactory, the MIM will assume their payroll on 1 January, if not they will be fired.
A written assessment of the security plan for the site is also to be prepared by the FPS in conjunction withb (6) B. Badoosh Cement - We met with

coordinator and 2 BCT commanders respectively, at City Hall in Mosul. The DG of Northern Cement explained that he was not satisfied with the 101 trained FPS at his site (currently 70 FPS on site). The agreement reached is that the local battalion commander will work more closely with the DG and support his decisions with coalition force provided he consults the commander first. The 70 FPS will be picked up by MIM payroll in the near future. The DG has some trouble expressing his real position to the ground commanders. This is something that must be overcome or the DG will find the patience of the local commanders exhausted with his frequent cries of wolf.
the 173 area commander
C. Kirkuk Cement - We met with (b)(6) and 173" Team Civil leader respectively. The 173" explained that it has trained no FPS in its AOR. Mr. Ali explained that we were unable to train FPS at this location because the DG refused to allow our trainers in. There is a guard force at the site (approximately
40) which will have to be trained. At this point the only option is to bring these employees to Baghdad and train at the FPS Academy. The issue of Kurd discrimination against Arab FPS supervisors was also raised. The DG said he could not accept the FPS supervisor because the Governor would not allow him. The Governor said it was the decision of the City Council of Kirkuk. This issue is not resolved.
D. Geological Survey - Mr. Humam, the DG of Geo Survey, explained a plan to survey areas within the Irbil Governorate. Two issues affecting the proposal are mine hazards and the PKK threat. For follow up on these issues MIM will coordinate with the Mine Action Group at CPA and try to coordinate weapon permits for the 101 AOR so that the geo survey team can secure itself.
E. State Owned Enterprise Operations. The Combined Team message to the military leadership of the 101" and the 173 was that they support their local SOE. The intent is to put these companies on a sound commercial footing and that the SOE was in the short term in control of its destiny.
The decisions of the DG and the SOE Board of Directors should not be second guessed. This was particularly important in personnel and operational matters. The factory floor consists of so many factions (tribal, religious, party) that it is impossible to please all parties. The local leadership must support the plant management going forward in all their decisions.

General report related to the status and actions to boost the production in the basic industry strategic plants in the south of IRAQ Introduction:
This document is issued to give guidance to the various CPA pillars and private entities in view of a coordinated action to boost the production of the basic industry in the south.
Due to the timing extremely compressed, the end of June 2004, and the uncertain strategies of the Iraqi Ministries after the end over of responsibility and governance by CPA, this document is considering only the possible, effective actions to be undertaken in the next seven months.
This actions should be limited merely at the support to identify the bottle necks in the production process of the plants and to launch projects, like supply of equipment and spare parts to eliminate the constrain.
During our surveys started at the beginning of November, two mayor problems was focused as the principal cause of plants reduced or non operation. These problems are the lack of steady stable and constant electrical supply as well as for gas.
These two points are the most critical ones because they are involving the work and strategy of different players, TF RIO for oil & gas, TF RIE, Bechtel, Mott Mc Donald for electricity, therefore the direction and time schedule for each program related to these fields might effect the production of the considered plants.

Status of each plant and actions to be undertaken.
Integrated steel plant. See attach. (1 The plant is an integrated steel complex located in Kor Az Zubayr designed to produce 400,000 Tons/year of carbon steel in form of long products, rounds and sections.
It was designed, installed and commissioned by the French group CRUSOT LOIRE in the 1974.
The plant has 4,845 employees and was producing before the war 60,000 Tons/year of steel for military purpose, the maximum production was 200,000 Tons/year.
Status
The plant is completely looted, is in bad condition for what is concerning the electrical and instrumentation part that has to be redesign and reinstall completely, moreover some processes are old and not any more profitable, for example the direct reduction plant and the melt shop, those parts of the plant have to be extensively modified from a mechanical and process point of view, however the rolling area is still in a good shape and with the installation of new electrical equipment and automation can produce rounds and profiles with acceptable quality standards, necessary condition for the working of the rolling mill is the rehabilitation of the water treatment plant, compressed air plant, and distribution substation.
Actions
The above mentioned works cannot be undertaken under the frame of a local contingency plan, the involvement of a specialized company is necessary to investigate in detail the process and undertake the necessary extensive works for the rehabilitation of the plant in accordance to the actual quality standards, reliability and efficiency.
Splitting of the plant in several process area can be taken in consideration due to the different damages suffered by the equipment, however the auxiliary services have to be rehabilitated almost completely whatever part of the process they have to supply.
In conclusion this installation need extensive investments and the involvement of big multinational companies specialized in the steel plants sector, nothing can be done with contingency plans in within the next seven months, the destiny of the complex will be a decision of the new iraqi government.

Spiral welded tubes plant
It is a separated unit of the integrated steel plant, this production unit is situated near Um Kuasr port and will be visited by our team this week.
Al Muthanna Cement Factory attach. (2 The plant located near As Samawa city, Grid. NV 004 545, has two lines for dry type cement production process, designed to produce 2,000,000 Tons/year of Portland cement, high tension cement and sulfate resistant cement.
It was designed, installed and commissioned by the German company KHD in within the 1982 -1984.
The plant has 850 employees and now is producing 1800 tons/day of cement equal to 360,000 tons/year of cement considering an availability of electrical energy of 200 days/year.
Status
The plant is adopting a good and rather modern technology, it is in a good shape compared to other installations in the country and with some little rehabilitations and parts replacement will be able to produce 1,000,000 tons per year with one production line in full operation. The production of cement is very precious for the reconstruction of the country, at the contrary of the steel melt shop were little is left for the contingency plan, is possible for this factory to apply some corrective action to boost the production at the level mentioned.
Actions
To reach 1,000,000 tons per year of Portland cement the following action has to be undertaken:
The plant need stable and reliable supply of electrical energy. The energy required is 15 Mw more in addition to the already available power, this can be done easily trough the Kadisia substation, rising the power supply setting from 10Mw to 25Mw, proper coordination with Baghdad is needed to allow the IEC, Iraqi Electricity Committee to dispatch the necessary orders.
A project of 4.5 Mio of US$ has been approved by CPA south for the supply of the necessary excavating equipment for the quarry. The project need to be push forward in Baghdad as a matter of priority.
During our team last visit a detailed list of spare parts as been requested to the management, this list is not yet produced to the CPA South, further actions and pressures has to be applied trough the project officer, Cap. Serge Doreleyers RNLMC to receive this list and approve a project for the purchase.

Petrochemical plant
The plant, located near Kor Az Zubayr city, grid QU 61 58, was designed, installed and commissioned by a JV between the American LUMMS and the German Thyssen in the 19/9, but due to the Iran - Iraq war was started up only in the 1988.
The plant has five different processing lines for the following products:
•
Low density polyethylene
•
High density polyethylene
•
Ethylene
Plastic sheets for crops covering
•
Chlorine
•
Soda
P.V.C.
• Hydrolytic acid HCL
The number of the personnel is 3379.
The plant is in relative good shape, it was interested by a extensive extraordinary maintenance program during the year 1992, he reached the maximum production in the 2001, about 45% of the designed production, just before the last war the water cooling pipes was renovated and substituted.
Status
The plant is ready to restart the production of plastic sheets, chlorine, low and high density polyethylene.
Actions
Two are the key factors to restart the production:
1. 30 Mw of steady, stable and uninterruptible power supply.
This can be obtained with the refurbishment of the gas turbines power plant embedded in the petrochemical complex.
This job has been identified and advised by Bechtel to CPA Baghdad for the contract award, our team is contact with CPA Baghdad to try to expedite the order award and the beginning of the works.
2. 120 million cubic feet of gas per day to produce five tons of chlorine per day and four hundred tons of high and low density polyethylene per month.
The Gas liquefaction plant is located in GRID QU 631 531, three kilometers south of the petrochemical plant.
Our team spoke with IFEST and CPA Baghdad to coordinate with TF RIO to restart the gas supply.

Paper Factory Missan
The plant, located 20 km south of Al Amarah, grid QA 09 02, was installed and commissioned in the 1979 by the German company WOITH SULZER, the equipment was of first quality, boilers from LURGI, controls and steam turbine from SIEMENS, instrumentation from ICAR.
The plant can produce pulp from recycled paper and from imported pulp, the percentage of new or recycled material depend by the type and quality of final product.
There are two paper mill, one to produce bags for packing cement and the other to produce cartoon sheets for packaging boxes, the rated production is 350 tons a day.
The plant employ 940 workers, 25 engineers, and 100 security guards.
Status
The paper mills and the pulp plant are in good condition and the management has in mind to restart the production of cartoon sheets for packaging boxes, the production rate calculated will be 25 tons per day, that means 7% of the rated production. The production capacity will be so low at the beginning due to serious problems at the water treatment plant and in the pulp plant, some filters has to be substituted and the original vertical motors have to be reinstalled to give at the plant the original performance.
The plant is equipped with a steam gas turbine of 10Mw complete with a steam recycling system, but the heat exchangers they are not any more working due to the corrosion caused by the bed filtering of contaminated water from the pulp plant.
However the turbine should be putted operational using the existing boilers without recirculation.
Actions
Investigate and gets more details on the two lists of spare parts and consumables supplied by the management, the two documents are listing the equipment needed to restart the production of the plant as indicated above and to restart the steam turbine operation with a great advantage for the grid and Missan population.
Another survey will be paid by our team together with the Utilities team and Bechtel.
The final lists of spares will be processed by CPA South for approval.

Cement Factory Um Kuasr
To be visited before Christmas Fertilizer plant The plant was designed, installed and commissioned by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in the 1979, is composed by two parallel lines for the production of 500,000 tons per year of ammonia and urea for each line.
The services, water treatment plant and cooling towers are very old design and unable to reach the water quality and purity required, the open system technology is consuming a big quantity of chemicals, and the quality of them is poor, this is effecting the production in terms of wearing of the equipment and quality.
Status
the plant was not looted and can restart the production. The equipment is generally heavily worn and far out of the minimum safety margins, the maintenance and management is poor and need to be updated with modern and effective procedures.
The plant is a continuous process and need a preparation time to carry the equipment at the rated values to start the chemical processes, this require a process starting up of 20 days minimum, it is enough to loose the power supply for more than three seconds to shut down completely the plant and restart from the beginning the procedure. In these last three months the technical teams failed three times to start up the process due to electricity black out from the grid.
There are two incoming lines in the main substation, one is coming from Kor Az Zubayr PP substation in operation and the other from Umm Quas substation down.
50 Mio feet/day of natural gas is needed to withstand the production rate, the gas should be available from the South Oil Distribution Company, gas receiving and reducing station is ready to operate.
Actions
Verify the possibility to place a 15 Mw mobile generating set to start and maintain the production. TF RIE, Bechtel and Mott Mc Donald to be involved.
A request for detail the spare parts and the chemicals has been made to the management to assist the production till the end June.
Actions with Mitsubishi will be undertaken to try to recover some important and quite expensive equipment stored in Japan for maintenance.
