In other matters, the Company reports that wholly-owned subsidiary, NGP
Blue Mountain 1 LLC, continues to make its full quarterly payments
under its John Hancock senior loan facility out of cash flow from its
Faulkner 1 geothermal power plant. NGP Blue Mountain Holdco LLC
(Holdco) is unable to make full payments on its subordinated mezzanine
debt at current production levels and is the late stages of a process
to restructure the debt or otherwise resolve the debt with EIG Global
Energy Partners.
NGP has significant development and operating experience and project
assets in the western US. The Company’s near term plans are to resolve
HoldCo debt, to proceed with the consolidation of the company shares
(and renaming the Company), and to advance a development plan for a
demonstration geothermal power plant at its New Truckhaven site in
southern California. We will also seek opportunities in alternative
clean energy in active international markets.
