ENDEAVOUR SCH PLC
INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT
FOR THE 6 MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
Principal Activity
The Company's principal activity is that of Private Finance
Initiative Concessionaire for the South Tees Acute Hospitals Single
Site Project, under the terms of a Concession Agreement dated 16
August 1999 between the Company and South Tees Acute Hospitals
National Health Service Trust ('the Trust').
The Company's Concession Agreement requires it to finance,
design, develop and construct and then maintain and part operate
the enlarged hospital following completion of new facilities and
certain other work. The concession is intended to continue for a
period of 30 years after hospital completion which occurred on 16
July 2003, and the project is now in its operational phase.
Principal risks and uncertainties for the remainder of the
financial year
Availability
Investment in the Project is funded primarily by Index Linked
Secured Guaranteed Bonds ('the Bonds') and subordinated unsecured
loan stock. During the operational phase the principal source of
funds available to meet its liabilities under the Bonds will be
Availability Payments received from the Trust under the Concession
Agreement. Failure to achieve the forecast levels of availability
would result in lower than forecast revenues and this may adversely
affect the company's ability to make payments to Bondholders. There
have been no deductions for unavailability in the periods covered
in these financial statements.
Major Maintenance
The Company is obliged under the Concession Agreement to
undertake major maintenance and plant/equipment replacement so that
it continues to satisfy the standards required. There are a number
of factors which could lead to higher than projected costs, such as
shorter than anticipated life spans or increased inflation on
specific items of plant and equipment or worse than expected
condition of the residual estate. This risk has been mitigated
through contractual arrangements with the subcontractor undertaking
this work, as 25% of the risk of asset failure is shared with the
subcontractor.
Service Performance
The Soft Services and Maintenance Services are monitored against
agreed objective measures. Ultimately, poor performance may result
in the Trust having the right to terminate the Concession
Agreement. There have been no deductions for poor performance in
the periods covered in these financial statements.
Trust Status and Performance
Failure by the Trust to perform its obligations may affect the
Company's ability to meet its liabilities to Bondholders. However
the Trust's obligations under the Concession Agreement are
underwritten by the Secretary of State for Health.
Financial Instruments Risk
The Company does not undertake financial instrument transactions
which are speculative or unrelated to the Company's trading
activities. The Company's funding has been arranged using the
principles of project finance with the terms of the financial
instruments, and the resulting profile of the debt service costs,
tailored to match the expected revenues arising from the Concession
Agreement. Board approval is required for the use of any new
financial instrument, and the Company's ability to do so is
restricted by covenants in its existing funding agreements. Other
disclosures in respect of financial instruments are given in notes
9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15 to the Condensed Unaudited Interim
Financial Statements.
