NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Accounting policies





Basis of presentation: The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Consolidated Water
Co. Ltd. (the “Company”) include the accounts of the Company’s (i) wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Aquilex, Inc., Cayman Water Company Limited (“Cayman Water”),
Consolidated Water (Belize) Limited (“CW-Belize”), Ocean Conversion (Cayman)
Limited (“OC-Cayman”), DesalCo Limited (“DesalCo”), Consolidated Water
Cooperatief, U.A. (“CW-Coop”);  (ii) majority-owned subsidiary Consolidated
Water (Bahamas) Ltd. (“CW-Bahamas”); and (iii) affiliates, Consolidated Water
(Bermuda) Limited (“CW-Bermuda”) and N.S.C. Agua, S.A. de C.V. (“NSC”), which
are consolidated because the Company has a controlling financial interest in
these companies. The Company’s investment in its affiliate, Ocean Conversion
(BVI) Ltd. (“OC-BVI”), is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.





The
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010 and the
condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited. These condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring
nature) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly present the
Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for
the periods presented. The results of operations for these interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the operating results for future periods,
including the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.





These
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to interim financial statements and in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“US GAAP”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included
in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the
Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information
not misleading.  These condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2009.




Plant construction revenue and cost
of plant construction revenue:   The Company recognizes
revenue and related costs as work progresses on fixed price contracts for the
construction of desalination plants to be sold to third parties using the
percentage-of-completion method, which relies on contract revenue and estimates
of total expected costs.  The Company follows this method since it can
make reasonably dependable estimates of the revenue and costs applicable to
various stages of a contract.  Under the percentage-of-completion
method, the Company records revenue and recognizes profit or loss as work on the
contract progresses.  The Company estimates total project costs and
profit to be earned on each long term, fixed price contract prior to
commencement of work on the contract and updates these estimates as work on the
contract progresses.  The cumulative amount of revenue recorded on a
contract at a specified point in time is that percentage of total estimated
revenue that incurred costs to date comprises of estimated total contract
costs.  If, as work progresses, the actual contract costs exceed
estimates, the profit recognized on revenue from that contract
decreases.  The Company recognizes the full amount of any estimated
loss on a contract at the time the estimates indicate such a
loss.  Any costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings are
classified as current assets.  Billings in excess of costs and
estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, if any, are classified as current
liabilities.





The
balance of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings - construction
project of approximately $3.5 million and $1.9 million as of June 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, respectively, represent revenues earned to date on the
construction of the Red Gate plant for the Water Authority – Cayman
(“WAC”).  This receivable balance is non-current as it will be paid by
the WAC through the issuance of a long term note to the Company upon the
commissioning of the plant which occurred in July 2010.





Fair value
measurements: As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and other liabilities and dividends payable approximate their fair
values due to the short term maturities of these
instruments.  Management considers that the carrying amounts for loans
receivable and long term debt as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009
approximate their fair value.





Fair
value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell
an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants as of the measurement date.  The guidance also
establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes
the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by
requiring that the most observable inputs be used when
available.  Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use
in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data
obtained from sources independent of the Company.  Unobservable inputs
are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market
participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.  The
guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair
value:





Level 1 —
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.




Level 2 —
Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly,
such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in
markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the
assets or liabilities.





Level 3 —
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that
are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.




7


Assets
and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of
input that is significant to the fair value measurements.  The Company
reviews the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly
basis.  Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in
a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value
hierarchy.





The
following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for assets and
liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2010 and December 31,
2009:

Stock-based compensation




The
Company issues stock under incentive plans that form part of employees’ and
non-executive directors’ remuneration. The Company also grants options to
purchase common shares as part of remuneration for certain long-serving
employees.





Stock-based
compensation totaled $58,756 and $166,271 for the three months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively, and $142,152 and $234,706 for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and is included in general and
administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of
income.





The
Company estimates the fair value of the stock options granted and rights to
acquire stock using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires the
Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions including forfeiture rate,
volatility and expected life.  The Company does not expect any
forfeitures and therefore expects to recognize the full compensation costs for
these equity awards.  The Company calculated expected volatility based
primarily upon the historical volatility of the Company’s common
stock.





The
expected life of options granted represents the period of time that options
granted are expected to be outstanding, which incorporates the contractual
terms, grant vesting schedules and terms and expected employee
behaviors.  As the Company has so far only awarded what the SEC has
defined as “plain vanilla options”, the Company uses the “simplified method”
allowed by the SEC for determining the expected life of the options
granted.





A summary
of stock option activity under the Company’s share-based compensation plans for
the six months ended June 30, 2010 is presented in the following

Earnings per share





Basic
earnings per common share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income
attributable to controlling interests by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS assumes the
issuance of common shares for all dilutive-potential common shares outstanding
during the reporting period. The dilutive effect of stock options is considered
in diluted EPS calculations using the treasury stock method.





The
following summarizes information related to the computation of basic and diluted
EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Impact of recent accounting pronouncements





Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures


In
January 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that amends the disclosure
requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements and
requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between
Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and
Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement
hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally,
the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance
and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant
unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance became
effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010, except for the
disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements,
which will become effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011. The
adoption of this Level 1 and Level 2 guidance did not have an effect on the
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company does not
expect the adoption of the Level 3 guidance to have a material impact on its
condensed consolidated financial statements





Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets


In June
2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance to improve the information
provided in financial statements concerning transfers of financial assets,
including the effects of transfers on financial position, financial performance
and cash flows, and any continuing involvement of the transferor with the
transferred financial assets. The provisions of this guidance are effective for
the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year beginning January 1,
2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s
condensed consolidated financial statements.





Variable Interest
Entities


In June
2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance requiring an enterprise to perform
an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests
give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This
guidance also requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial
statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement
in a variable interest entity. The provisions of this guidance are effective for
the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year beginning January 1,
2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s
condensed consolidated financial statements.

Investment in and loan to affiliate





The
Company owns 50% of the outstanding voting common shares and a 43.5% equity
interest in the profits of Ocean Conversion (BVI) Ltd. (“OC-BVI”). The Company
also owns certain profit sharing rights in OC-BVI that raise its effective
interest in the cumulative profits of OC-BVI to approximately 45%. Pursuant to a
management services agreement, OC-BVI pays the Company monthly fees for certain
engineering, procurement and administrative services.





OC-BVI’s
sole customer is the Ministry of Communications and Works of the Government of
the British Virgin Islands (the “Ministry”). Through December 31, 2008,
substantially all of the water sold to the Ministry was produced by a
desalination plant located at Baughers Bay, Tortola (the “Baughers Bay plant”),
which has a capacity of 1.7 million U.S. gallons per day.





During
2007, OC-BVI completed, for a total cost of approximately $8 million, the
construction of a 700,000 U.S. gallons per day desalination plant located at Bar
Bay, Tortola (the “Bar Bay plant”). The Company provided OC-BVI with a $3.0
million loan to fund part of this plant’s construction costs. Principal on this
loan was payable in quarterly installments of $125,000 with a final balloon
payment due on August 31, 2009 and interest on the loan was due quarterly at the
rate of LIBOR plus 3.5%. In August 2009, the Company amended the terms of this
loan with OC-BVI, increasing its balance to $2.8 million by converting $800,000
in trade receivables due to the Company from OC-BVI.  Under the terms
of this amendment, the interest rate on the loan was increased to LIBOR plus
5.5% and the maturity date for the amended final balloon payment of $1,550,000
extended to August 31, 2011. The Company further amended this loan in January
2010 to increase the interest rate to LIBOR plus 7.5%. On March 4, 2010, OC-BVI
and the BVI government executed a definitive seven-year contract for the Bar Bay
plant (the “Bar Bay Agreement”). Under the terms of the Bar Bay Agreement,
OC-BVI delivers up to 600,000 U.S. gallons of water per day to the BVI
government from the Bar Bay plant and the BVI government is obligated to pay for
this water at a specified price as adjusted by a monthly energy factor. The Bar
Bay Agreement requires OC-BVI to complete a storage reservoir on the BVI
government site by no later than March 4, 2011 and includes a seven-year
extension option exercisable by the BVI government.

Baughers
Bay dispute:





In
October 2006, OC-BVI notified the Company that the Ministry had asserted a
purported right of ownership of the Baughers Bay plant pursuant to the terms of
the Water Supply Agreement between OC-BVI and the Ministry that was signed in
1990 (the “1990 Agreement”).





Under the
terms of the 1990 Agreement, upon the expiration of the initial term in May
1999, the 1990 Agreement would automatically be extended for another seven years
unless the Ministry provided notice, at least eight months prior to such
expiration, of its decision to purchase the plant from OC-BVI for approximately
$1.42 million.





In
correspondence between the parties from late 1998 through early 2000, the
Ministry indicated that the BVI government was prepared to exercise the option
to purchase the plant but would be amenable to negotiating a new water supply
agreement, and that it considered the 1990 Agreement to be in force on a monthly
basis until negotiations between the BVI government and OC-BVI were concluded.
Occasional discussions were held between the parties from early 2000 to early
2007 without resolution of the matter while OC-BVI continued to supply water to
the Ministry. OC-BVI expended approximately $4.7 million in 2003 to
significantly expand the production capacity of the plant beyond that
contemplated in the 1990 Agreement.




12




Early in
2007, the Ministry unilaterally took the position that until such time as a new
agreement is reached on the ownership of the plant and the price for the water
produced by the plant, the Ministry would only pay that amount of OC-BVI’s
billings that the Ministry purported constituted OC-BVI’s costs of producing the
water. OC-BVI responded to the Ministry that the amount the Ministry proposed to
pay was significantly less than OC-BVI’s production costs. Payments made by the
Ministry to OC-BVI since the Ministry’s assumption of this reduced price were
sporadic and as of December 31, 2007, OC-BVI had received payment for less than
22% of the amounts it billed the Ministry for the year then ended. On November
22, 2007, OC-BVI’s management was informed that the BVI government had filed a
lawsuit with the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (the “Court’) seeking ownership
of the Baughers Bay plant.  OC-BVI counterclaimed that it was entitled
to continued possession and operation of the Baughers Bay plant until the BVI
government paid OC-BVI approximately $4.7 million, which it believed represented
the value of the Baughers Bay plant at its present expanded production capacity.
OC-BVI took the legal position that since the BVI government never paid the
$1.42 million to purchase the Baughers Bay plant, the 1990 Agreement terminated
on May 31, 1999, which was eight months after the date that the Ministry
provided written notice of its intention to purchase the plant.





On July
4, 2008, OC-BVI filed a claim with the Court, and on April 22, 2009 amended and
increased this claim, seeking payment for water sold and delivered to the BVI
government through March 31, 2009 at the contract prices in effect before the
BVI government asserted its purported right of ownership of the
plant.





The Court
held a three-day trial in July 2009 to address both the Baughers Bay ownership
issue and OC-BVI’s claim for payment of amounts owed for water sold and
delivered to the BVI government.  On September 17, 2009, the Court
issued a preliminary ruling with respect to the litigation between the BVI
government and OC-BVI.  The Court determined that the BVI government
was entitled to immediate possession of the Baughers Bay plant and dismissed
OC-BVI’s claim for compensation of approximately $4.7 million for expenditures
made to expand the production capacity of the plant.  As a result of
this determination by the Court, OC-BVI recorded an impairment loss of
approximately $2.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 for
fixed assets associated with the Baughers Bay plant.  However, the
Court determined that OC-BVI was entitled to full payment of water invoices
issued up to December 20, 2007, which had been calculated under the terms of the
original 1990 Agreement, and ordered the BVI government to make an immediate
interim payment of $5.0 million to OC-BVI for amounts owed to
OC-BVI.  The Court deferred deciding the entire dispute between the
parties until it could conduct a hearing to determine the reasonable rate for
water produced by OC-BVI for the period from December 20, 2007 to the
present.





After
conducting hearings on October 12 and 16, 2009, on October 28, 2009, the Court
ordered the BVI government to pay OC-BVI at the rate of $13.91 per thousand
imperial gallons for water produced by OC-BVI from December 20, 2007 to present,
which amounted to a total recovery for OC-BVI of $10.24 million as of September
17, 2009.  The BVI government made a payment of $2.0 million to OC-BVI
under the Court order during the fourth quarter of 2009 and a second payment of
$2 million under the Court order in July 2010.





On
October 28, 2009, OC-BVI filed an appeal with the Eastern Caribbean Court of
Appeals (the “Appellate Court”) asking the Appellate Court to review the
September 17, 2009 ruling by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court as it relates
to OC-BVI’s claim for compensation for expenditures made to expand the
production capacity of the Baughers Bay plant.





On
October 29, 2009, the BVI government filed an appeal with the Appellate Court
seeking the Appellate Court’s review of the September 17, 2009 ruling of the
Court that the BVI government pay OC-BVI the reasonable rate for water produced
by OC-BVI for the period from December 20, 2007 to the present.  The
BVI government is requesting a ruling from the Appellate Court that the BVI
government should only pay OC-BVI the actual cost of water produced at the
plant.





Effective
January 1, 2008, OC-BVI changed its policy for the recording of its revenues
from the Baughers Bay plant from the accrual to the equivalent of the cash
method due to an inability to meet all of the relevant revenue recognition
criteria under US GAAP. As a result of this adjustment to its revenues, OC-BVI
incurred operating losses for all fiscal quarters of 2008 and the first three
quarters of 2009. Any cash payments made by the BVI government on Baughers Bay
related invoices were applied by OC-BVI to the remaining balance of outstanding
accounts receivable that arose from billings for periods prior to and including
December 2007 and thus were not recognized as revenues.  Sufficient
payments had been received from the BVI government as of September 30, 2009 to
repay the remaining accounts receivable balances relating to periods prior to
December 31, 2007.  However, OC-BVI continues to apply the equivalent
of the cash method with respect to the recognition of revenues from Baughers Bay
and will not recognize as revenues any amounts due to OC-BVI as a
result of the Court ruling until such amounts are paid by the BVI government.
The BVI government made a $2.0 million payment under the Court order during the
fourth quarter of 2009 and made a second payment of $2 million under the Court
order in July 2010. OC-BVI also applied the equivalent of the cash method of
accounting for revenue recognition for its Bar Bay plant through December 31,
2009. As a result of the signing of the Bar Bay Agreement in March 2010, OC-BVI
began recognizing revenues from the Bar Bay plant on the accrual basis and
recognized all revenues previously deferred under the cash method of
accounting.





In
February 2010, the BVI government announced that it had signed a 16 year
contract with another company for the construction and operation of a water
plant with a production capacity of 2.75 million U.S. gallons per day. This new
plant will provide potable water to the greater Tortola area. On March 29, 2010,
OC-BVI vacated the Baughers Bay plant and the BVI government assumed direct
responsibility for the plant’s operations.


13




The
Company accounts for its investment in OC-BVI in accordance with the equity
method of accounting for investments in common stock. This method requires
recognition of a loss on an equity investment that is other than temporary, and
indicates that a current fair value of an equity investment that is less than
its carrying amount may indicate a loss in the value of the investment. To test
for possible impairment of its investment in OC-BVI, the Company estimates its
fair value as of the end of each fiscal quarter. In making this estimate, the
Company calculates the expected cash flows from its investment in OC-BVI by (i)
identifying various possible outcomes of the Baughers Bay dispute; (ii)
estimating the cash flows associated with the Bar Bay plant and each possible
outcome for the Baughers Bay dispute, and (iii) assigning a probability to each
possible Baughers Bay outcome based upon discussions held to date by OC-BVI’s
management with the BVI government and OC-BVI’s legal counsel. The resulting
probability-weighted sum represents the expected cash flows, and the Company’s
best estimate of future cash flows, to be derived from its investment in OC-BVI.
After considering the September and October 2009 rulings of the Court, the
Company determined that the carrying value of its investment in OC-BVI exceeded
the estimated fair value for our investment in OC-BVI by approximately $160,000
as of September 30, 2009 and therefore recognized an impairment loss of this
amount on this investment during the three months ended September 30, 2009. As a
result of the decision by the BVI government to enter into the agreement with
another company to build a new plant to provide water to Tortola, the Company
believes it unlikely that OC-BVI will derive any significant future cash flows
from an operating contract for the Baughers Bay plant.  Consequently,
the Company determined that an additional impairment loss of $(4,500,000) was
required (and was recorded) during the fourth quarter of 2009 to reduce its
investment in OC-BVI to its estimated fair value.





Based
upon the estimated fair value determined as of December 31, 2009 and the
developments since that date to the date of this filing, the Company concluded
that no impairment loss was required to be recognized on its investment in
OC-BVI during the six months ended June 30, 2010. This conclusion assumes that
OC-BVI will collect all of the $10.24 million awarded by the Court, of which
only $4 million has been received through July 2010. However, the Appellate
Court could ultimately overturn the ruling of the Court which currently requires
the BVI government to pay OC-BVI at the rate of $13.91 per thousand imperial
gallons for water previously supplied. If this occurs the actual cash flows from
OC-BVI could vary materially from the expected cash flows the Company used in
determining OC-BVI’s fair value as of June 30, 2010 and the Company would be
required to record an additional impairment loss to reduce the carrying value of
its investment in OC-BVI. Such impairment loss would reduce the Company’s
earnings and could have a material adverse impact on its results of operations
and financial condition.

Consolidated Water (Bermuda) Limited





In June
2006, the Company formed a Bermuda-based affiliate, Consolidated Water (Bermuda)
Limited (“CW-Bermuda”) with two other shareholders. The Company owns 40% of the
equity interest and voting rights of CW-Bermuda. In January 2007, CW-Bermuda
entered into a design, build, sale and operating agreement with the Government
of Bermuda for a desalination plant to be built in two phases at Tynes Bay along
the northern coast of Bermuda. Under the agreement, CW-Bermuda constructed the
plant and has been operating it since the second quarter of 2009.





The
Company has entered into a management services agreement with CW-Bermuda for the
design, construction and operation of the Tynes Bay plant, under which it
receives fees for direct services, purchasing activities and proprietary
technology.





Because
(i) the equity investment in CW-Bermuda is not sufficient to permit it to
finance its activities without the loan from the Company; (ii) the other
investors in CW-Bermuda have no obligation to absorb any significant amount of
its losses should losses arise; and (iii) the Company expects economic benefits
from CW-Bermuda that are significantly greater than the Company’s voting rights
of 40%, CW-Bermuda constitutes a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company
is the primary beneficiary of CW-Bermuda and accordingly, consolidates the
results of CW-Bermuda in its financial statements. The assets and liabilities of
CW-Bermuda included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet
amounted to approximately $540,000 and $169,000 respectively, as of June 30,
2010. The Company has not provided any guarantees related to CW-Bermuda and any
creditors of the VIE do not have recourse to the general credit of Consolidated
Water Co. Ltd. as a result of including CW-Bermuda in the condensed consolidated
financial statements. The results of CW-Bermuda are reflected in the Company’s
services segment.





8.
Mexico Joint Venture




In May,
2010, the Company acquired, through its recently organized wholly-owned
Netherlands subsidiaryConsolidated Water
Cooperatief, U.A., a 50% interest inN.S.C. Agua, S.A. de C.V.,
(“NSC”) a Mexican company. NSC is a speculative joint venture formed to pursue a
project encompassing the construction, ownership and operation of a seawater
reverse osmosis desalination plant to be located in Baja California, Mexico and
accompanying pipelines to deliver water to Baja and the U.S. border. The Company
and its partners in NSC believe such a project can be successful due to the
anticipated growing need for a new potable water supply for the areas of Baja
California, Mexico and Southern California, United States. NSC is in the early
stages of its development, and is presently involved in attempting to obtain
contracts for the purchase of land on which to build the plant and for the
electric power and feed water sources for the plant’s proposed operations. In
addition to obtaining these contracts, NSC will be required to complete various
other steps before it can commence construction of the plant and pipeline
including, but not limited to, obtaining approvals and permits from various
governmental agencies in Mexico and the United States, securing contracts with
its proposed customers to sell water in sufficient quantities and at prices that
make the project financially viable, and obtaining equity and debt financing for
the project. NSC’s prospective customers will also be required to obtain various
governmental permits and approvals in order to purchase water from
NSC.




For its
50% interest in NSC, the Company has agreed to provide all of the initial
funding (up to $4 million) in the form of equity for NSC’s development
activities. Because the Company exercises effective financial control over NSC
and the Company’s partners in NSC will not participate in funding the first $4
million in losses the joint venture may incur, the Company consolidates NSC’s
results of operations in accordance with the accounting guidance for special
purpose/variable interest entities. Included in the Company’s condensed
consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
2010 are approximately $504,000 in general and administrative expenses,
consisting primarily of organizational costs and legal and other professional
fees. The Company anticipates that substantially all of the remaining funding it
provides for NSC’s development activities will be expensed.





The
Company estimates that it will take a minimum of nine months for NSC to purchase
land for the plant, secure feed water and power supplies, complete the
engineering and feasibility studies, obtain the required permits and approvals
and arrange the project financing necessary to commence construction of the
plant. However, this process could take significantly longer than nine months,
and NSC may ultimately be unable to accomplish all of the steps required to
proceed with the project.

The
Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recording or disclosure in
these condensed consolidated financial statements through the date the financial

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS





Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements





This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, including but
not limited to, statements regarding our future revenues, future plans,
objectives, expectations and events, assumptions and estimates. Forward-looking
statements can be identified by use of the words or phrases “will,” “will likely
result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “estimate,” “project,” “potential,”
“believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” or similar expressions and
variations of such words. Statements that are not historical facts are based on
our current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates, forecasts and
projections for our business and the industry and markets related to our
business.





The
forward-looking statements contained in this report are not guarantees of future
performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are
difficult to predict. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from
what is expressed in such forward-looking statements. Important factors which
may affect these actual outcomes and results include, without limitation,
tourism and weather conditions in the areas we service, scheduled new
construction within our operating areas, the economies of the U.S. and the areas
we service, regulatory matters, the resolution of pending litigation,
availability of capital to repay debt and for expansion of our operations, and
other factors, including those “Risk Factors” set forth under Part II, Item 1A
in this Quarterly Report and in our 2009 Annual Report on Form
10-K.





The
forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report speak as of its date. We
expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any
forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report to reflect any
change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events,
conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based,
except as may be required by law.





Unless
otherwise indicated, references to “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to
Consolidated Water Co. Ltd., its subsidiaries and consolidated
affiliate.





Critical
Accounting Estimates





The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could differ
significantly from such estimates and assumptions.





Certain
of our accounting estimates or assumptions constitute “critical accounting
estimates” for us due to the fact that:





•
            the nature of these estimates or
      assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment
      necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of
      such matters to change; and





•
            the impact of the estimates and
      assumptions on financial condition and results of operations is
      material.





Our
critical accounting estimates relate to (i) the valuation of our equity
investment in our affiliate, OC-BVI; (ii) goodwill and intangible assets; and
(iii) plant construction revenues and costs.





Valuation of Equity Investment in
Affiliate. We account for our investment in OC-BVI under the equity
method of accounting for investments in common stock.   This
method requires recognition of a loss on an equity investment that is other than
temporary, and indicates that a current fair value of an equity investment that
is less than its carrying amount may indicate a loss in the value of the
investment. OC-BVI’s on-going dispute with the BVI government relating to its
Baughers Bay plant may indicate that the current fair value of our investment in
OC-BVI is less than our carrying value for this investment.





As a
quoted market price for OC-BVI’s stock is not available, to test for possible
impairment of our investment in OC-BVI we estimate its fair value by calculating
the expected cash flows from our investment in OC-BVI by (i) identifying various
possible outcomes of the Baughers Bay dispute; (ii) estimating the cash flows
associated with the Bar Bay plant and each possible outcome of the Baughers Bay
dispute, and (iii) assigning a probability to each Baughers Bay outcome based
upon discussions held to date by OC-BVI’s management with the BVI government and
OC-BVI’s legal counsel. The resulting probability weighted sum represents the
expected cash flows, and our best estimate of future cash flows, to be derived
from our investment in OC-BVI.


15





The
identification of the possible outcomes for the Baughers Bay dispute, the
projections of cash flows for each outcome and for the Bar Bay plant, and the
assignment of relative probabilities to each Baughers Bay outcome all represent
significant estimates made by us. While we have used our best judgment to
identify the possible Baughers Bay outcomes and expected cash flows for these
outcomes and assign relative probabilities to each outcome, and to estimate the
expected cash flows from the Bar Bay plant, these estimates are by their nature
highly subjective and are also subject to material change by our management over
time based upon additional information from OC-BVI’s management and legal
counsel, a change in the status of negotiations and/or OC-BVI’s litigation with
the BVI government. After considering the September and October 2009 rulings of
the Eastern Supreme Court of the Caribbean relating to the Baughers Bay dispute,
we determined that the carrying value of our investment in OC-BVI exceeded the
estimated fair value for our investment in OC-BVI by approximately $160,000 as
of September 30, 2009 and therefore recognized an impairment loss of this
amount on this investment during the three months ended September 30,
2009.   In February 2010, the BVI government announced that it
had signed a 16 year contract with another company for the construction and
operation of a water plant with a production capacity of 2.75 million U.S.
gallons per day.  This new plant will provide potable water to the
greater Tortola area and we believe will replace the current production of the
Baughers Bay plant.  As a result of the decision by the BVI government
to enter into the agreement with another company to provide water to Tortola, we
believe it unlikely that OC-BVI will derive any significant future revenues from
an operating contract for the Baughers Bay plant.  Consequently, we
determined that an additional impairment loss of $(4,500,000) was required (and
was recorded) during the fourth quarter of 2009 to reduce our investment in
OC-BVI to its estimated fair value.




Based
upon the estimated fair value determined as of December 31, 2009 and the
developments since that date to the date of this filing, we concluded that no
impairment loss was required to be recognized on our investment in OC-BVI during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. This conclusion assumes that
OC-BVI will collect all of the $10.24 million awarded by the Court, of which
only $4 million has been received to date. However, the Appellate Court could
ultimately overturn the ruling of the Court requiring the BVI government to pay
OC-BVI at the rate of $13.91 per thousand imperial gallons for water previously
supplied.    If this occurs, the actual cash flows from
OC-BVI could vary materially from the expected cash flows we used in determining
OC-BVI’s fair value as of June 30, 2010, and we would be required to record an
additional loss to reduce the carrying value of our investment in OC-BVI. Such
impairment loss would reduce our earnings and could have a material adverse
impact on our results of operations and financial condition.





Goodwill and other intangible
assets. Goodwill represents the excess costs over fair value of the
assets of an acquired business. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a
business combination accounted for as a purchase and determined to have an
indefinite useful life are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least
annually. Generally accepted accounting principles require the amortization of
intangible assets with estimable useful lives over their respective estimated
useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment
periodically.  We evaluate the possible impairment of goodwill
annually.  Management identifies our reporting units and determines
the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and
liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those
reporting units. We determine the fair value of each reporting unit by
calculating the expected cash flows from each reporting unit and compare the
fair value to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. To the extent the
carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting
unit, we are required to perform the second step of the impairment test, as this
is an indication that the reporting unit goodwill may be impaired. In this step,
we compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the
carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill. The implied fair value of
goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all
the assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities of the reporting unit
in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value
after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill.
If the implied fair value is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss
is recorded. Based upon our annual tests to date, we have not experienced any
impairment losses on our recorded amounts of goodwill.





Plant construction revenue and cost
of plant construction revenue. We recognize revenue and related costs as
work progresses on fixed price contracts for the construction of desalination
plants to be sold to third parties using the percentage-of-completion method,
which relies on contract revenue and estimates of total expected costs. We
follow this method since we can make reasonably dependable estimates of the
revenue and costs applicable to various stages of a contract. Under the
percentage-of-completion method, we record revenue and recognize profit or loss
as work on the contract progresses. Our engineering personnel estimate total
project costs and profit to be earned on each long term, fixed price contract
prior to commencement of work on the contract and update these estimates as work
on the contract progresses. The cumulative amount of revenue recorded on a
contract at a specified point in time is that percentage of total estimated
revenue that incurred costs to date comprise of estimated total contract costs.
As work progresses, if the actual contract costs exceed estimates, the profit
recognized on revenue from that contract decreases. We recognize the full amount
of any estimated loss on a contract at the time the estimates indicate such a
loss. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we were required to reduce
the cumulative profit previously recognized for a construction project by
approximately $403,000 for liquidated damages and cost overruns not contemplated
in our prior cost estimates. These liquidated damages and cost overruns
represent the only material adverse variation from our cost estimates for plants
constructed for sale to third parties we have experienced to date.




We assume
the risk that the costs associated with constructing the plant may be greater
than we anticipated in preparing our bid. However, the terms of each of the
sales contracts with our customers require us to guarantee the sales price for
the plant at the bid amount. Because we base our contracted sales price in part
on our estimation of future construction costs, the profitability of our plant
sales is dependent on our ability to estimate these costs accurately. The cost
estimates we prepare in connection with the construction of plants to be sold to
third parties are subject to inherent uncertainties. The cost of materials and
construction may increase significantly after we submit our bid for a plant due
to factors beyond our control, which could cause the gross margin for a plant to
be less than we anticipated when the bid was made. The profit margin we
initially expect to generate from a plant sale could be further affected by
other factors, such as hydro-geologic conditions at the plant site that differ
materially from those we believed existed and relied upon when we submitted our
bid.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
 
 The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Part I,
Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and our consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal
year ended December 31, 2009 (“2009 Form 10-K”) and the information set forth
under Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations” of our 2009 Form 10-K.
 
 Three
Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30,
2009
 
 Consolidated
Results
 
 Net
income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $1,033,075 ($0.07 per share
on a fully-diluted basis) as compared to $3,867,616 ($0.26 per share on a
fully-diluted basis) for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The
decrease in our profitability from 2009 to 2010 is primarily attributable to the
results of our services segment.
 
 Total
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $12,699,485, a decrease
from the $15,454,998 in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as
all three of our business segments generated lower revenues in 2010 than in
2009. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $4,231,302, or
33% of total revenues, as compared to $7,587,053, or 49% of total revenues, for
the three months ended June 30, 2009. Gross profit for all three segments
declined from 2009 to 2010.  For further discussion of revenues and
gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2010, see the “Results by
Segment” analysis that follows.
 
 General
and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased to $3,150,633 on a
consolidated basis for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to
$2,670,059 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  This increase in
G&A expenses reflects a growth in professional fees from approximately
$220,000 in 2009 to approximately $699,000 in 2010 that is primarily
attributable to the project development activities of our newly formed
consolidated Mexico joint venture, N.S.C. Agua, S.A. de C.V.
(“NSC”).
 
 Interest
income increased to $302,040 for 2010, as compared to $150,373 for 2009, due to
interest earned on the loan receivable from the Water Authority - Cayman arising
from the completion and sale of the North Side Water Works plant.
 
 Due to
OC-BVI’s contractual dispute with the BVI Government relating to its Baughers
Bay plant, we reported a loss from our investment in OC-BVI for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 of $(589,022).  During the second quarter of 2010,
we recognized earnings on our investment in OC-BVI of $82,403 due to revenues
generated by the Bar Bay plant.  See further discussion of the OC-BVI
situation at “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Material Commitments,
Contingencies and Expenditures — OC-BVI Contract
Dispute.”
 
 Results
by Segment
 
 Retail
Segment:
 
 The
retail segment contributed $1,071,909 to our income from operations for the
three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1,595,936 for the three months
ended June 30, 2009.
 
 Revenues
generated by our retail water operations were $6,039,827 and $6,221,384 for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The decline
in retail revenues from 2009 to 2010 reflects the annual adjustment made during
the first quarter to our base rates, which decreased in 2010 due to
a downward movement in the consumer price indices used to determine such
rates, and a decline in the volume of gallons sold from 2009 to 2010 of
approximately 5%.
 
 Retail
segment gross profit was $3,386,688 (56% of revenues) and $3,801,991 (61% of
revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.  The decline in gross profit as a percentage of revenues
from 2009 to 2010 reflects the annual adjustment in our base rates during the
first quarter, which decreased in 2010 due to a downward movement in the
consumer price indices used to determine such rates.
  Consistent
with prior periods, we record all non-direct G&A expenses in our retail
business segment and do not allocate any of these non-direct costs to our other
two business segments.  Retail G&A expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $2,314,779 and $2,206,055, respectively. The
increase in G&A expenses for 2010 as compared to 2009 is primarily
attributable to incremental business development expenses of approximately
$274,000 relating to the bidding of new projects and the formation of our
Netherlands subsidiary and  Mexico affiliate.

  Bulk
Segment:
 
 The bulk
segment contributed $873,378 and $1,071,058 to our income from operations for
the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
 Bulk
segment revenues were $6,196,278 and $6,431,215 for the three months ended June
30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The decline in bulk revenues from
2009 to 2010 reflects the annual adjustment made during the first quarter to the
base rates charged by Ocean Conversion Cayman, which decreased in 2010 due to
downward movement in the consumer price indices used to determine such rates and
the loss of revenues from the Red Gate plant, which was not in operation in 2010
due to its refurbishment.   The volume of water sold by our bulk
segment was approximately the same for 2010 and 2009.
 
 Gross
profit for our bulk segment was $1,165,210 and $1,481,071 for the three months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Gross profit as a
percentage of bulk revenues was 19% for the three months ended June 30, 2010,
down from 23% for 2009 due to the rate adjustment and the Red Gate factors
discussed in the previous paragraph.
 
 Bulk
segment G&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased to
$291,832 from $410,013 for the same period in 2009, primarily due to a decrease
in bank charges, which were incurred in 2009 to convert Bahamas dollars into
U.S. dollars and transfer such dollars from the Bahamas to Grand
Cayman.
 
 Services
Segment:
 
 The
services segment incurred a loss from operations of $(864,618) for the three
months ended June 30, 2010, while this segment contributed $2,250,000 to our
income for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
 
 Revenues
from services provided in 2010 were $463,380 as compared to $2,802,399 in
2009.  Services revenues decreased from 2009 to 2010 due to
substantially lower plant sales revenues, which declined by approximately $2
million due to reduced construction activity.
 
 The
services segment generated a negative gross profit in 2010 of $(320,596) as
compared to a gross profit of $2,303,991 in 2009.  The negative gross
profit for 2010 stems from liquidated damages of $260,000 assessed by the Water
Authority Cayman during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as a result of our
inability (due to various factors, including the failure of a key plant
component purchased from a third party) to complete the refurbishment and
commissioning of the Red Gate plant by its contract deadline, and construction
cost overruns on this plant.  We were required to reduce the
cumulative gross profit on the Red Gate plant by approximately $403,000 during
the three months ended June 30, 2010, as these liquidated damages and cost
overruns represented a significant variance from the construction cost estimates
we utilized under the percentage-of-completion method to record our revenues and
gross profit on the Red Gate plant construction for previous
quarters.
 
 G&A
expenses for the services segment were $544,022 and $53,991 for the three months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The increase in G&A
expenses in 2010 reflects incremental professional fees attributable to the
project development activities of our newly formed consolidated Mexico joint
venture, NSC.
 
 Six
Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30,
2009
 
 Consolidated
Results
 
 Net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $4,110,011 ($0.28 per share on
a fully-diluted basis) as compared to $6,417,761 ($0.44 per share on a
fully-diluted basis) for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  Our
results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in
2009 were significantly affected by a decline in the results of our services
segment.
 
 Total
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $27,376,797, a decrease
from the $31,319,056 in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as all
three of our business segments generated lower revenues in 2010 than in 2009.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $9,717,552, or 35% of
total revenues, as compared to $13,567,548, or 43% of total revenues, for the
six months ended June 30, 2009. Gross profit for all three segments
declined in 2010 from 2009.  For further discussion of revenues and
gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2010, see the “Results by
Segment” analysis that follows.
 
 General
and administrative (“G&A”) expenses on a consolidated basis were $5,615,699
and $5,171,266 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
This increase in G&A expenses reflects a growth in professional fees from
approximately $416,000 in 2009 to approximately $903,000 in 2010 that is
primarily attributable to the project development activities of our newly formed
consolidated Mexico joint venture, NSC.
 
 Interest
income increased to $604,215 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared
to $308,673 for the same period in 2009, due to interest earned on the loan
receivable from the Water Authority - Cayman arising from the completion and
sale of the North Side Water Works plant.
 
 Due to
OC-BVI’s contractual dispute with the BVI Government relating to its Baughers
Bay plant, we reported a loss from our investment in OC-BVI for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 of approximately $(1,198,021).  During the six
months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized earnings on our investment in OC-BVI
of $295,112 primarily due to revenues recognized for the Bar Bay
plant.  See further discussion of the OC-BVI situation at “Liquidity
and Capital Resources — Material Commitments, Contingencies and Expenditures —
OC-BVI Contract
Dispute.”
 
 Results
by Segment
 
 Retail
Segment:
 
 The
retail segment contributed $2,456,513 to our income from operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $3,691,171 for the six months ended
June 30, 2009.
 
 Revenues
generated by our retail water operations were $12,425,233 and $12,758,714 for
the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The volume
of gallons sold in 2010 by the retail segment increased by approximately 2% from
2009 to 2010 due to water sales made at bulk water rates to the WAC to replace
water previously supplied by the Red Gate plant while such plant is under
refurbishment.   The decline in retail revenues from 2009 to 2010
reflects the annual adjustment in our base rates made during the first quarter,
which decreased in 2010 due to a downward movement in the consumer price indices
used to determine such rates and the sales to the WAC at bulk water
rates.
 
 Retail
segment gross profit was $6,918,509 (56% of revenues) and $7,790,200 (61% of
revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.  The decline in gross profit as a percentage of revenues
from 2009 to 2010 reflects the base rate adjustment and the Red Gate factors
discussed in the previous paragraph.
  Consistent
with prior periods, we record all non-direct G&A expenses in our retail
business segment and do not allocate any of these non-direct costs to our other
two business segments.  Retail G&A expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $4,461,996 and $4,099,029,
respectively.  The increase in G&A expenses for 2010 as compared
to 2009 is primarily attributable to incremental business development expenses
of approximately $385,000 relating to the bidding of new projects and the
formation of our Netherlands subsidiary and Mexico affiliate.
  18
  Bulk
Segment:
 
 The bulk
segment contributed $1,946,290 and $1,940,922 to our income from operations for
the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
 Bulk
segment revenues were $12,454,220 and $12,838,209 for the six months ended June
30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The volume of water sold by our bulk
segment was approximately the same for 2010 and 2009.
 
 Gross
profit for our bulk segment was $2,525,790 and $2,901,491 for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Gross profit as a
percentage of bulk revenues was 20% and 23% for the six months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively. The decline in bulk gross profit from 2009 to 2010
reflects the annual adjustment made during the first quarter to the base rates
charged by Ocean Conversion Cayman, which decreased in 2010 due to a downward
movement in the consumer price indices used to determine such rates and the loss
of revenues from the Red Gate plant while it is under
refurbishment.
 
 Bulk
segment G&A expenses were $579,500 and $960,569 for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The decrease is primarily due
to approximately $183,000 in penalties and interest assessed to our Belize
operations during the first quarter of 2009 relating to delinquent business
taxes and a decrease in bank charges of approximately $122,000 for our Bahamas
operations.  The Belize penalties and interest arose because we were
erroneously informed in the past that our Belize subsidiary was not subject to
these taxes.   The bank charges incurred in 2009 resulted from
the conversion of Bahamas dollars into U.S. dollars and the transfer of such
dollars from the Bahamas to Grand Cayman.
 
 Services
Segment:
 
 The
services segment incurred a loss from operations of $(300,950) for the six
months ended June 30, 2010.  The services segment contributed
$2,764,189 to our income from operations for the same period in
2009.
 
 Services
segment revenues were $2,497,344 and $5,722,133 for the six months ended June
30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Services revenues decreased from
2009 to 2010 due to substantially lower plant sales revenues, which declined by
approximately $2.9 million due to reduced construction activity.
 
 Gross
profit for our services segment was $273,253 and $2,875,857 for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The lower gross profit
for 2010 stems from the decreased plant construction revenues and from
liquidated damages of $260,000 assessed by the Water Authority Cayman during the
three months ended June 30, 2010 as a result of our inability (due to various
factors including the failure of a key plant component purchased from a third
party) to complete the refurbishment and commissioning of the Red Gate plant by
its contract deadline, and construction cost overruns on this
plant.  We were required to reduce the cumulative gross profit on the
Red Gate plant by approximately $403,000 during the three months ended June 30,
2010, as these liquidated damages and cost overruns represented a significant
variance from the construction cost estimates we utilized under the
percentage-of-completion method to record our revenues and gross profit on the
Red Gate plant construction for previous quarters.
 
 G&A
expenses for the services segment were $574,203 and $111,668 for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in G&A expenses in
2010 reflects incremental professional fees attributable to the project
development activities of our newly formed consolidated Mexico joint venture,
NSC.
 
 LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
 Overview
 
 Our
sources of cash are (i) revenues generated from our retail license, plant
operating contracts and management agreements; (ii)  borrowings under
term loans, credit facilities and debt securities; and (iii) sales of equity
securities.
 
 Our cash
flows from operations are affected by tourism, rainfall patterns, weather
conditions (such as hurricanes), changes in our customer base, the timing and
level of rate increases, overall economic conditions and other factors and the
timing of the collection of these revenues from our customers.
 
 Our
ability to access the debt and equity capital markets is impacted by our current
and anticipated financial results, financial condition; existing level of
borrowings; credit rating, and terms of debt agreements (including our
compliance therewith), and by conditions in the debt and equity
markets.
 
 Our
primary uses of cash other than for operations are construction costs and
capital expenditures, including plant expansion and new plant construction.
Other significant uses include payment of dividends, repayment of debt and
pursuit of new business opportunities.
 
 We have
generated approximately $32.5 million in net cash from our operating activities
during the three year period ended December 31, 2009 and we generated an
additional $3.4 million in net cash from our operating activities during the six
months ended June 30, 2010.  As of June 30, 2010, we had cash balances
totaling approximately $45.4 million and working capital of approximately $52.3
million.  We believe our cash on hand and cash to be generated from
operations will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for the next 12
months, and we are not presently aware of anything that would lead us to believe
that we will not have sufficient liquidity to meet our needs through
2011.
 
 19
  Cash
Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
 
 Our cash
and cash equivalents increased from $44.4 million as of December 31, 2009 to
$45.4 million as of June 30, 2010.
 
 Cash
Flows from Operating Activities
 
 Operating
activities provided net cash for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $3.4
million.  This cash provided reflects net income generated for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 as adjusted for (i) various items included in the
determination of net income that do not affect cash flows during the year and
(ii) changes in the other components of working capital.
  Cash
Flows Provided by Investing Activities
  Our
investing activities provided $429,389 in net cash during the six months ended
June 30, 2010.  Approximately $837,000 was used for construction in
progress and property, plant and equipment additions and we collected $599,703
on our loans receivable.  OC-BVI also paid us a dividend of
$666,600.
  Cash
Flows Used in Financing Activities
 
 Our
financing activities used $2.9 million in net cash during the six months ended
June 30, 2010, which consisted of $711,381 in scheduled payments on our debt and
dividends paid of $2.2 million.
 
 Financial
Position
 
 Our total
assets increased from approximately $154.5 million as of December 31, 2009 to
approximately $155.0 million as of June 30, 2010.
 
 Accounts
receivable increased from approximately $10.0 million as of December 31, 2009 to
approximately $11.4 million as of June 30, 2010, primarily due to an increase of
approximately $1.5 million in accounts receivable due from the Water and
Sewerage Corporation of The Bahamas (the “WSC”).  The WSC
made payments of approximately $2.7 million on these receivables in July
2010.
  The
balance of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings - construction
project of approximately $3.5 million as of June 30, 2010 represents revenues
earned to date on the refurbishment of the Red Gate plant for the Water
Authority - Cayman.  This receivable balance is non-current as it will
be paid by the Water Authority - Cayman through the issuance of a long term note
to us upon the commissioning of the plant which occurred in July
2010.
  Borrowings
Outstanding
 
 As of
June 30, 2010, our borrowings outstanding consisted of long term bonds payable
with unpaid principal balances aggregating $20,480,133.
 
 5.95%
Secured Bonds
 
 In August
2006, we issued $15,771,997 principal amount secured fixed rate bonds in a
private offering and received net proceeds (excluding issuance costs and after
the offering discount) of $14,445,720.  These bonds bear interest at a
rate of 5.95%, are repayable in quarterly principal and interest installments of
$526,010 and mature in 2016. We have the right to redeem the bonds in full at
any time after August 4, 2009 at a premium of 1.5% of the outstanding principal
and accrued interest on the bonds on the date of redemption.  As of
June 30, 2010, $10,915,151 in principal amount was outstanding on these secured
bonds.  Our obligations under the bonds are secured by fixed and
floating charges (i) on all of our assets, including an equitable charge of all
of the shares of Cayman Water, and (ii) on all of Cayman Water’s assets
including its real estate.  Cayman Water has also guaranteed our
payment obligations under the bonds.
 
 The trust
deed for these bonds restricts our ability to enter into new borrowing
agreements or any new guarantees without prior approval of the trustee and
limits our capital expenditures, with the exception of capital expenditures to
be incurred on certain defined projects, to $2.0 million annually without prior
approval by the trustee.  The trust deed also contains financial
covenants that require us to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of not less
than 1.25 to 1, a ratio of long term debt to EBITDA (i.e. earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the 12 months preceding the
ratio calculation date) not greater than 2.5 to 1 and a ratio of long term debt
to equity equal to or less than 1.5 to 1.  As of June 30, 2010, we
were in compliance with the covenants under the trust deed.
  20
  CW-Bahamas
Series A Bonds
 
 In July
2005, CW-Bahamas sold B$10,000,000 Series A bonds to Bahamian citizens and
permanent resident investors in The Bahamas to finance a portion of the
construction cost of its Blue Hills plant.  These bonds mature on June
30, 2015 and accrue interest at the annual fixed rate of
7.5%.  Interest is payable quarterly.  CW-Bahamas has the
option to redeem the bonds in whole or in part without penalty commencing after
June 30, 2008.  We have guaranteed CW-Bahamas repayment obligations
upon an “event of default” as defined in the guarantee agreement.  If
we pay any amounts pursuant to the guarantee, we will be subrogated to all
rights of the bondholders in respect of any such payments.  The
guarantee is a general unsecured obligation junior to our other secured
obligations.  As of June 30, 2010, B$10,000,000 of the Series A bonds
was outstanding.  We have elected to redeem $1.5 million of these
bonds in September 2010.
 
 CW-Bahamas
Credit Facility
 
 CW-Bahamas
has a credit facility with Scotiabank of Canada that consists of a B$500,000
revolving working capital loan. The obligations under the credit facility are
secured by the assets of CW-Bahamas. Borrowings under the working capital loan
accrue interest at the Nassau Prime rate plus 1.50% per annum.  As of
June 30, 2010, no amounts were outstanding under this facility.
 
 The
credit facility contains certain covenants applicable to CW-Bahamas, including
restrictions on additional debt, guarantees and sale of assets.  All
obligations under the credit facility are repayable on demand.
 
 Material
Commitments, Expenditures and Contingencies
 
 OC-BVI
Contract Dispute
 
 In
October 2006, our affiliate OC-BVI notified us that the Ministry of
Communications and Works of the Government of the British Virgin Islands (the
“Ministry”) had asserted a purported right of ownership of the Baughers Bay
plant pursuant to the terms of the Water Supply Agreement between the parties
dated May 1990 (the “1990 Agreement”).
  Under the
terms of the 1990 Agreement, upon the expiration of the initial term in May
1999, the agreement would automatically be extended for another seven years
unless the Ministry provided notice, at least eight months prior to such
expiration, of its decision to purchase the plant from OC-BVI for approximately
$1.42 million.
 
 In
correspondence between the parties from late 1998 through early 2000, the
Ministry indicated that the BVI government intended to purchase the plant but
would be amenable to negotiating a new water supply agreement, and that it
considered the 1990 Agreement to be in force on a monthly basis until
negotiations between the BVI government and OC-BVI were concluded. Occasional
discussions were held between the parties from early 2000 to early 2007 without
resolution of the matter while OC-BVI continued to supply water to the Ministry
and expended approximately $4.7 million between 1995 and 2003 to significantly
expand the production capacity of the plant beyond that contemplated in the 1990
Agreement.
 
 Early in
2007, the Ministry unilaterally took the position that until such time as a new
agreement was reached on the ownership of the plant and the price for the
water produced by the plant, the Ministry would only pay that amount of OC-BVI’s
billings that the Ministry purported constituted OC-BVI’s costs of producing the
water. OC-BVI responded to the Ministry that the amount the Ministry proposed to
pay was significantly less than OC-BVI’s production costs. Payments made by the
Ministry to OC-BVI since the Ministry’s assumption of this reduced price were
sporadic and as of December 31, 2007 OC-BVI had received payment for less than
22% of the amounts it billed for the year then ended.   On
November 22, 2007, OC-BVI’s management was informed that the BVI government had
filed a lawsuit with the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (the “Court”) seeking
ownership of the Baughers Bay plant.  OC-BVI counterclaimed that it
was entitled to continued possession and operation of the Baughers Bay plant
until the BVI government paid OC-BVI approximately $4.7 million, which it
believed represented the value of the Baughers Bay plant at its present expanded
production capacity. OC-BVI took the legal position that since the BVI
government never paid the $1.42 million to purchase the Baughers Bay plant, the
1990 Agreement terminated on May 31, 1999, which was eight months after the date
that the Ministry provided written notice of its intention to purchase the
plant.
 
 On July
4, 2008, OC-BVI filed a claim with the Court, and on April 22, 2009 amended and
increased this claim, seeking payment for water sold and delivered to the BVI
government through May 31, 2009 at the contract prices in effect before the BVI
government asserted its purported right of ownership of the plant.
  21
  The Court
held a three-day trial in July 2009 to address both the Baughers Bay ownership
issue and OC-BVI’s claim for payment of amounts owed for water sold and
delivered to the BVI government.  On September 17, 2009, the Court
issued a preliminary ruling with respect to the litigation between the BVI
government and OC-BVI.  The Court determined that the BVI government
was entitled to immediate possession of the Baughers Bay plant and dismissed
OC-BVI’s claim for compensation of approximately $4.7 million for of
expenditures made to expand the production capacity of the plant. As a result of
this determination by the Court, OC-BVI recorded an impairment loss of
approximately $2.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 for
fixed assets associated with the Baughers Bay plant. However, the Court
determined that OC-BVI was entitled to full payment of water invoices issued up
to December 20, 2007, which had been calculated under the terms of the original
1990 Agreement, and ordered the BVI government to make an immediate interim
payment of $5.0 million to OC-BVI for amounts owed to OC-BVI. The Court deferred
deciding the entire dispute between the parties until it could conduct a hearing
to determine the reasonable rate for water produced by OC-BVI for the period
from December 20, 2007 to the present.
 
 After
conducting hearings on October 12 and 16, 2009, on October 28, 2009, the Court
ordered the BVI government to pay OC-BVI at the rate of $13.91 per thousand
imperial gallons for water produced by OC-BVI from December 20, 2007 to present,
which amounted to a total recovery for OC-BVI of $10.24 million as of September
17, 2009. The BVI government made a payment of $2.0 million to OC-BVI under the
Court order during the fourth quarter of 2009 and made a second payment of $2
million under the Court order during July 2010.
 
 On
October 28, 2009, OC-BVI filed an appeal with the Eastern Caribbean Court of
Appeals (the “Appellate Court”) asking the Appellate Court to review the
September 17, 2009 ruling by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court as it relates
to OC-BVI’s claim for compensation for expenditures made to expand the
production capacity of the Baughers Bay plant.  On October 29, 2009,
the BVI government filed an appeal with the Appellate Court seeking the
Appellate Court’s review of the September 17, 2009 ruling of the Court that the
BVI government pay OC-BVI the reasonable rate for water produced by OC-BVI for
the period from December 20, 2007 to the present.  The BVI government
is requesting a ruling from the Appellate Court that the BVI government should
only pay OC-BVI the actual cost of water produced at the plant.
 
 Effective
January 1, 2008, OC-BVI changed its policy for the recording of its revenues
from the Baughers Bay plant from the accrual to the equivalent of the cash
method due to an inability to meet all of the criteria required under U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles to recognized revenue on the accrual
basis. As a result of this adjustment to OC-BVI’s revenues, we recorded losses
from our equity in OC-BVI’s results of operations for all fiscal quarters of
2008 and for the first three quarters of 2009. Any cash payments made by the BVI
government on Baughers Bay related invoices were applied by OC-BVI to the
remaining balance of outstanding accounts receivable that arose from billings
for periods prior to and including December 2007 and thus were not recognized as
revenues. Sufficient payments had been received from the BVI government as of
September 30, 2009 to repay the remaining accounts receivable balances relating
to period prior to December 31, 2007. However, OC-BVI continues to apply the
equivalent of the cash method with respect to the recognition of revenues from
Baughers Bay and will not recognize as revenues any amounts due to OC-BVI
as a result of the Court ruling until such amounts are paid by the BVI
government. The BVI government made a $2.0 million payment under the Court order
during the fourth quarter of 2009 and a second payment of $2 million under the
Court order in July 2010.
  22
  In
February 2010, the BVI government announced that it had signed a 16 year
contract with another company for the construction and operation of a water
plant with a production capacity of 2.75 million U.S. gallons per day. This new
plant will provide potable water to the greater Tortola area and we believe will
replace the current production of the Baughers Bay plant. On March 29, 2010,
OC-BVI vacated the Baughers Bay plant and the BVI government assumed direct
responsibility for this plant’s operations.
  We
account for our investment in OC-BVI in accordance with the equity method of
accounting for investments in common stock. This method requires recognition of
a loss on an equity investment that is other than temporary, and indicates that
a current fair value of an equity investment that is less than its carrying
amount may indicate a loss in the value of the investment. To test for possible
impairment of our investment in OC-BVI, we estimate its fair value as of the end
of each fiscal quarter. In making this estimate, we calculate the expected cash
flows from our investment in OC-BVI by (i) identifying various possible outcomes
of the Baughers Bay dispute; (ii) estimating the cash flows associated with the
Bar Bay plant and each possible Baughers Bay outcome, and (iii) assigning a
probability to each Baughers Bay outcome based upon discussions held to date by
OC-BVI’s management with the BVI government and OC-BVI’s legal counsel. The
resulting probability-weighted sum represents the expected cash flows, and our
best estimate of future cash flows, to be derived from our investment in OC-BVI.
After considering the September and October 2009 rulings of the Court, we
determined that the carrying value of our investment in OC-BVI exceeded the
estimated fair value for our investment in OC-BVI by approximately $160,000 as
of September 30, 2009 and therefore recognized an impairment loss of this amount
on this investment during the three months ended September 30, 2009. As a result
of the decision by the BVI government to enter into the agreement with another
company to build a new plant to serve Tortola, we believe it unlikely that
OC-BVI will derive any significant future revenues from an operating contract
for the Baughers Bay plant. Consequently, we determined that an additional
impairment loss of $(4,500,000) was required (and was recorded) during the
fourth quarter of 2009 to reduce our investment in OC-BVI to its estimated fair
value. .
 
 Based
upon the estimated fair value determined as of December 31, 2009 and the
developments since that date to the date of this filing, we concluded that no
impairment loss was required to be recognized on our investment in OC-BVI during
the six months ended June 30, 2010.  This conclusion assumes that
OC-BVI will collect all of the $10.24 million awarded by the Court, of which
only $4 million has been received to date.   However, the
Appellate Court could ultimately overturn the ruling of the Court, which
currently requires the BVI government to pay OC-BVI at the rate of $13.91
per thousand imperial gallons for water previously supplied. If this occurs the
actual cash flows from OC-BVI could vary materially from the expected cash flows
we used in determining OC-BVI’s fair value as of June 30, 2010 and we would be
required to record an additional impairment loss to reduce the carrying value of
our investment in OC-BVI.  Such impairment loss would reduce our
earnings and could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations
and financial condition.
 
 Mexico
Joint Venture
 
 In May,
2010, we acquired, through our recently organized wholly-owned Netherlands
subsidiaryConsolidated Water
Cooperatief, U.A., a 50% interest inN.S.C. Agua, S.A. de C.V.,
(“NSC”) a Mexican company.  NSC is a speculative joint venture formed
to pursue a project encompassing the construction, ownership and operation of a
seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant to be located in Baja California,
Mexico and accompanying pipelines to deliver water to Baja and the U.S.
border.   We and our partners in NSC believe such a project
can  be successful due to what we anticipate will be a growing need
for a new potable water supply for the areas of Baja California, Mexico and
Southern California, United States.  NSC is in the early stages of its
development, and is presently involved in attempting to obtain contracts for the
purchase of land on which to build the plant and for the electric power and feed
water sources for the plant’s proposed operations.  In addition to
obtaining these contracts, NSC will be required to complete various other
activities before it can commence construction of the plant and pipeline
including, but not limited to, obtaining approvals and permits from various
governmental agencies in Mexico and the United States, securing contracts with
its proposed customers to sell water in sufficient quantities and at prices that
make the project financially viable, and obtaining equity and debt financing for
the project.  NSC’s prospective customers will also be required to
obtain various governmental permits and approvals in order to purchase water
from NSC.
 
 For our
50% interest in NSC, we have agreed to provide all of the initial funding (up to
$4 million) in the form of equity for NSC’s development
activities.  Because we exercise effective financial control over NSC
and our partners in NSC will not participate in funding the first $4 million in
losses the joint venture may incur, we consolidate NSC’s results of operations
in accordance with the accounting guidance for special purpose/variable interest
entities.  Included in our condensed consolidated results of
operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010 are approximately $504,000
in general and administrative expenses, consisting primarily of organizational
costs and legal and other professional fees.  We anticipate that
substantially all of the remaining funding we provide for NSC’s development
activities will be expensed.
 
 We
estimate that it will take a minimum of nine months for NSC to purchase land for
the plant, secure feed water and power supplies, complete the engineering and
feasibility studies, obtain the required permits and approvals and arrange the
project financing necessary to commence construction of the
plant.  However, this process could take significantly longer than
nine months, and NSC may ultimately be unable to accomplish all of steps
required to proceed with the project.
 
 CW-Bahamas
Liquidity
 
 As of
June 30, 2010, CW-Bahamas was due approximately $6.9 million from the
WSC.  The
increase in this accounts receivable from December 31, 2009 was due to a delay
in receiving WSC’s scheduled June 2010 payment, which was not made by the WSC
until July 2010. In total, CW-Bahamas received approximately $2.7 million from
the WSC in July 2010.We have been informed previously by
representatives of the Bahamas government that the delay in paying our accounts
receivables is due to operating issues within the WSC, that the delay does not
reflect any type of dispute with us with respect to the amounts owed, and that
the amounts will ultimately be paid in full.  Although WSC was able to
reduce its delinquent receivable balances to CW-Bahamas in the prior fiscal
quarters, we have been informed by WSC representatives that monthly payments to
CW-Bahamas for the immediate future will continue in amounts of
approximately $1.2 million.  The total amount of delinquent
receivables from the WSC are expected to increase slightly over the
remainder of 2010.
 
 Transfers
of U.S. dollars from CW-Bahamas to our other subsidiaries require authorization
in advance from the Central Bank of the Bahamas.
 
 CW-Belize
  By
Statutory Instrument No. 81 of 2009, the Minister of Public Utilities of the
government of Belize published an order, the Public Utility Provider Class
Declaration Order, 2009 (the “Order”), which as of May 1, 2009 designated
CW-Belize as public utility provider under the laws of Belize.  With
this designation, the Public Utilities Commission of Belize (the “PUC”) has the
authority to set the rates charged by CW-Belize and to otherwise regulate its
activities.  We are presently unable to determine what impact the
PUC’s future regulation of CW-Belize will have on its results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
 
 Dividends
 
 On
January 31, 2010, we paid a dividend of $0.075 to shareholders of record on
January 1, 2010.

  On May
31, 2010, we paid a dividend of $0.075 to shareholders of record on May 1,
2010.
  As of
June 30, 2010, we declared a dividend of $0.075 payable on July 31, 2010 to
shareholders of record on July 1, 2010.
 
 We have
paid dividends to owners of our ordinary shares and redeemable preference shares
since we began declaring dividends in 1985. Our payment of any future cash
dividends will depend upon our earnings, financial condition, cash flows,
capital requirements and other factors our Board deems relevant in determining
the amount and timing of such dividends.
  Dividend
Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan
 
 This
program is available to our shareholders, who may reinvest all or a portion of
their common cash dividends into shares of common stock at prevailing market
prices and may also invest optional cash payments to purchase additional shares
at prevailing market prices as part of this program.
 
 Impact
of Inflation
 
 Under the
terms of our Cayman Islands license and our water sales agreements in Belize,
Bahamas and the British Virgin Islands, our water rates are automatically
adjusted for inflation on an annual basis, subject to temporary exceptions. We,
therefore, believe that the impact of inflation on our gross profit, measured in
consistent dollars, will not be material. However, significant increases in
items such as fuel and energy costs could create additional credit risks for us,
as our customers’ ability to pay our invoices could be adversely affected by
such increases.

 We
have committed up to $4 million to fund the developmental costs for a possible
project in Mexico.  We could decide in the future, after expending some or
all of these funds, that the project is not viable.
 
 In May,
2010, we acquired, through our recently organized wholly-owned Netherlands
subsidiaryConsolidated Water
Cooperatief, U.A., a 50% interest inN.S.C. Agua, S.A. de C.V.,
(“NSC”) a Mexican company.  NSC is a speculative joint venture formed
to pursue a project encompassing the construction, ownership and operation of a
seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant to be located in Baja California,
Mexico and an accompanying pipeline to deliver water to the U.S.
border.   We and our partners in NSC believe such a project
can  be successful due to what we anticipate will be a growing need
for a new potable water supply for the areas of Baja California, Mexico and
Southern California, United States.  NSC is in the early stages of its
development, and is presently involved in seeking contracts for the purchase of
land on which to build the plant and for the electric power and feed water
sources for the plant’s proposed operations.  In addition to obtaining
these contracts, NSC will be required to complete various other steps before it
can commence construction of the plant and pipeline including, but not limited
to, obtaining approvals and permits from various governmental agencies in Mexico
and the United States, securing contracts with its proposed customers to sell
water in sufficient quantities and at prices that make the project financially
viable, and obtaining equity and debt financing for the project. NSC’s potential
customers will also be required to obtain various governmental permits and
approvals in order to purchase water from NSC.
 
 For our
50% interest in NSC, we have agreed to provide all of the initial funding (up to
$4 million) in the form of equity for NSC’s development
activities.  Because we exercise effective financial control over NSC
and our partners in NSC will not participate in funding the first $4 million in
losses the joint venture may incur, we consolidate NSC’s results of operations
in accordance with the accounting guidance for special purpose/variable interest
entities.  Included in our condensed consolidated results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 is approximately
$504,000 in general and administrative expenses, consisting primarily of
organizational costs and legal and other professional fees.  We
anticipate that substantially all of the remaining funding we provide for NSC’s
development activities will be expensed.
 
 We
estimate that it will take a minimum of nine months for NSC to purchase the land
for the plant, secure feed water and power supplies, complete the engineering
and feasibility studies, obtain the required permits and arrange the project
financing necessary to commence construction of the plant. However, this process
could take significantly longer than nine months, and NSC may ultimately be
unable to accomplish all the steps required to proceed with the
project.
 
 Our exclusive license to provide
water to retail customers in the Cayman Islands may not be renewed in the
future.
 
 In the
Cayman Islands, we provide water to retail customers under a 20 year license
issued to us in July 1990 by the Cayman Islands government that grants us the
exclusive right to provide water to retail customers within our licensed service
area. Our service area is comprised of an area on Grand Cayman that includes the
Seven Mile Beach and West Bay areas, two of the three most populated areas in
the Cayman Islands. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we generated
approximately 40% of our consolidated revenues and 58% of our consolidated gross
profits from the retail water operations conducted pursuant to our exclusive
license.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we generated
approximately 45% of our consolidated revenues and 56% of our consolidated gross
profits from these retail water operations. If we are not in default of any
terms of the license, we have a right of first refusal to renew the license on
terms that are no less favorable than those that the government offers to any
third party.  This license was set to expire on July 10, 2010,
however, on July 20, 2010 we obtained a three month extension of the
license.
 
 We have
been informed during our retail license renewal negotiations conducted with
representatives of the Cayman Island government that the Cayman Island
government seeks to restructure the terms of our license to employ a “rate of
return on invested capital model’ similar to that governing the sale of water to
most U.S. municipalities. We have formally objected to the implementation of a
“rate of return on invested capital model” on the basis that we believe that
such a model would not promote the efficient operation of our water utility and
could ultimately increase water rates to our customers. We believe such a model,
if ultimately implemented, could significantly reduce the operating income we
have historically generated from our retail license and could require us to
reduce the $1.2 million carrying value of our retail segment’s
goodwill.
  25
  If we are
unable to renew our license or if we obtain a new license on terms that are less
favorable to us, we could lose a significant portion of our current revenues and
our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely
affected.
 
 The
value of our investment in our affiliate OC-BVI is dependent upon the collection
of amounts recently awarded by the Eastern Supreme Court of the
Caribbean.
 
 In
October 2006, the British Virgin Islands government notified OC-BVI that it was
asserting a purported right of ownership of OC-BVI’s desalination plant in
Baughers Bay, Tortola pursuant to the terms of the 1990 Agreement and invited
OC-BVI to submit a proposal for its continued involvement in the production of
water at the Baughers Bay plant. Early in 2007, the British Virgin Islands
government unilaterally took the position that until such time as a new
agreement is reached on the ownership of the Baughers Bay plant and for the
price of the water produced by the plant, the BVI government would only pay that
amount of OC-BVI’s invoices that the BVI government purports constitutes
OC-BVI’s costs of producing the water. OC-BVI responded to the BVI government
that the amount the Ministry proposed to pay was significantly less than
OC-BVI’s production costs. Payments made by the BVI government to OC-BVI since
the BVI government’s assumption of this reduced price were sporadic. On November
22, 2007, OC-BVI’s management was informed that the BVI government had filed a
lawsuit with the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (the “Court”) seeking ownership
and possession of the Baughers Bay plant.  OC-BVI counterclaimed that
it was entitled to continued possession and operation of the Baughers Bay plant
until the BVI government pays OC-BVI approximately $4.7 million, which it
believed represented the value of the Baughers Bay plant at its present expanded
production capacity.  OC-BVI also took the legal position that since
the BVI government never paid the $1.42 million to purchase the Baughers Bay
plant, the 1990 Agreement terminated on May 31, 1999, which was eight months
after the date that the Ministry provided written notice of its intention to
purchase the plant.
 
 On July
4, 2008, OC-BVI filed a claim with the Court, and on April 22, 2009 amended and
increased this claim, seeking recovery of amounts for water sold and delivered
to the BVI government from the Baughers Bay plant through May 31, 2009 based
upon the contract prices in effect before the BVI government asserted its
purported right of ownership of the plant.
 
 The Court
held a trial in July 2009 to address both the Baughers Bay ownership issue and
OC-BVI’s claim for payment of amounts owed for water sold and delivered to the
BVI government. On September 17, 2009, the Court issued a preliminary ruling
with respect to the litigation between the BVI government and OC-BVI. The Court
determined that the BVI government was entitled to immediate possession of the
Baughers Bay plant and dismissed OC-BVI’s claim for compensation of
approximately $4.7 million for improvements to the plant. However, the Court
determined that OC-BVI was entitled to full payment of water invoices issued up
to December 20, 2007, which had been calculated under the terms of the original
1990 water supply agreement, and ordered the BVI government to make an immediate
interim payment of $5.0 million to OC-BVI for amounts owed to OC-BVI. The Court
deferred deciding the entire dispute between the parties until it could conduct
a hearing to determine the reasonable rate for water produced by OC-BVI for the
period from December 20, 2007 to the present.
 
 After
conducting hearings in October 2009 the Court ordered the BVI government to pay
OC-BVI at the rate of $13.91 per thousand imperial gallons for water produced by
OC-BVI from December 20, 2007 to present, which amounted to a total recovery for
OC-BVI of $10.24 million as of September 17, 2009. The BVI government made a
payment of $2.0 million to OC-BVI under the Court order during the fourth
quarter of 2009 and a second payment of $2 million under the Court order in July
2010.
 
 On
October 28, 2009, OC-BVI filed an appeal with the Eastern Caribbean Court of
Appeals (the “Appellate Court”) asking the Appellate Court to review the
September 17, 2009 ruling by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court as it relates
to OC-BVI’s claim for compensation for improvements to the Baughers Bay
plant.  On October 29, 2009, the BVI government filed an appeal with
the Appellate Court seeking the Appellate Court’s review of the September 17,
2009 ruling of the Court that the BVI government pay OC-BVI the reasonable rate
for water produced by OC-BVI for the period from December 20, 2007 to the
present. The BVI government is requesting a ruling from the Appellate Court that
the BVI government should only pay OC-BVI the actual cost of water produced at
the plant.
  26
  After
considering the September and October 2009 rulings of the Court of the Caribbean
relating to the Baughers Bay dispute, we determined that the carrying value of
our investment in OC-BVI exceeded the estimated fair value for our investment in
OC-BVI by approximately $160,000 as of September 30, 2009 and therefore
recognized an impairment loss of this amount on this investment during the three
months ended September 30, 2009. In February 2010, the BVI government announced
it had signed a long term contract with another company for the construction of
a new water plant to serve Tortola. We believe this new contract with another
company makes it unlikely that OC-BVI will be able to obtain a new long-term
operating contract for Baughers Bay. Accordingly, our calculation of the
estimated fair value of our equity investment in OC-BVI as of December 31, 2009
did not include any future cash flows to OC-BVI from a long term operating
contract for the Baughers Bay plant and as a result we recorded an additional
impairment loss for our equity investment in OC-BVI of $(4,500,000) during the
fourth quarter of 2009.  The remaining carrying value of our
investment in OC-BVI of $8.7 million as of June 30, 2010 assumes OC-BVI will
collect in full the remaining $6.24 million awarded by the Court and will not be
required to return any of the $4 million paid to date by the BVI government
under the Court order.  Should the BVI government be successful in its
appeal to reduce the $10.24 million award, we will be required to record an
additional impairment charge in an amount equal to any reduction in the amount
previously awarded. Such impairment loss would reduce our earnings and could
have a significant adverse impact on our results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows.
