TERRAFORM POWER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise noted)



1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

TerraForm Power, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") is a subsidiary of SunEdison, Inc. ("SunEdison"). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s, or SEC’s, regulations for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. The following notes should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies and other disclosures as set forth in the notes to the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments consisting of normal and recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the Company's unaudited consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2015, and the results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
    
2. TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN ENTITIES UNDER COMMON CONTROL

When renewable energy facilities are acquired from SunEdison, the Company is required to recast its historical financial statements to reflect the assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the acquired renewable energy facilities for the period they were owned by SunEdison in accordance with rules applicable to transactions between entities under common control. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company acquired 68 renewable energy facilities with a combined nameplate capacity of 313.0 MW from SunEdison, which resulted in a recast of the balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, and the related statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014. One of these facilities was in operation in 2014, which resulted in a recast of the statement of operations and statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The following table presents the changes to previously reported amounts of the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 7, 2015:

Acquisitions of Call Right and Operating Projects

The assets and liabilities transferred to the Company for the acquisitions listed in the table below relate to interests under common control with SunEdison and, accordingly, were recorded at historical cost basis. The difference between the cash purchase price and historical cost basis of the net assets acquired was recorded as a distribution to SunEdison and reduced the balance of its non-controlling interest.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company used estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses and cash flows during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. This standard will become effective for us on January 1, 2018. Early application is permitted but not before January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method or determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02 Consolidation (Topic 810) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which affects the following areas of the consolidation analysis: limited partnerships and similar entities, evaluation of fees paid to a decision maker or service provider as a variable interest and in determination of the primary beneficiary, effect of related parties on the primary beneficiary determination and for certain investment funds. ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for us for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 and interim periods therein. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for us for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 and interim periods therein. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated balance sheet.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-06 Earnings Per Share, which provides guidance on the presentation of historical earnings per unit under the two-class method for transfers of net assets between entities under common control. ASU No. 2015-06 is effective for us for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 and interim periods therein. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11 Inventory, which requires inventory that is measured using the first-in, first-out method or average cost method to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU No. 2015-10 is effective for us for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 and interim periods therein. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on our SREC inventory.

The facilities are contracted under long-term PPAs with an investment grade utility with a credit rating of Aa2, and the PPAs have a weighted average remaining life of 18 years. The cash purchase price, net of cash acquired, for this acquisition was CAD 125.4 million ($101.1 million USD equivalent) in cash, including the repayment of project-level debt and breakage fees for the termination of interest rate swaps.

Acquisition of other solar generation facilities

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company acquired 66 solar generation facilities with a combined nameplate capacity of 37.6 MW for a purchase price of $90.9 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and $15.9 million of project-level debt assumed in a number of transactions with third parties. The facilities are located in Arizona, California, Connecticut Massachusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania as well as Ontario, Canada. The facilities are contracted under long-term PPAs with commercial and municipal customers and the PPAs have a weighted-average remaining life of approximately 15 years.     

Initial Accounting for the 2015 Acquisitions

The initial accounting for the 2015 acquisitions has not been completed because the evaluation necessary to assess the fair values of certain net assets acquired is still in process. The provisional amounts for these acquisitions, included in the table within the "Acquisition Accounting" section of this footnote below, are subject to revision until these evaluations are completed. The estimated fair value of assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interest pertaining to First Wind reflect the following material changes from the previous period: a decrease to property, plant, and equipment of $18.9 million, a decrease to intangible assets of $10.5 million, a decrease to long-term debt of $12.4 million, and a decrease to non-controlling interest of $21.1 million.

The operating revenues and net income of the facilities acquired in 2015 reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are $60.7 million and $20.1 million, respectively.

2014 Acquisitions
    
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company acquired Mt. Signal, Stonehenge Operating Projects, Capital Dynamics, Hudson Energy, and various other renewable energy facilities. The acquisition accounting for certain of these facilities was completed as of June 30, 2015, at which point the provisional fair values became final.

The acquisition accounting for Mt. Signal and Stonehenge Operating Projects are complete as of June 30, 2015. The final estimated fair value of assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests is included in the table within the "Acquisition Accounting" section of this footnote below and do not reflect any material changes from amounts previously reported. The acquisition accounting for various other 2014 acquisitions were finalized in previous periods.

The initial accounting for the acquisitions of Capital Dynamics and Hudson Energy are not complete because the evaluation necessary to assess the fair values of certain net assets acquired is still in process. The provisional amounts for these acquisitions, included in the table within the "Acquisition Accounting" section of this footnote below, are subject to revision until these evaluations are completed.

Unaudited Pro Forma Supplementary Data

The unaudited pro forma supplementary data presented in the table below gives effect to the material 2015 acquisitions, First Wind and Northern Lights, as if those transactions had each occurred on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma supplementary data is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed to be indicative of the Company’s results of operations had the acquisitions been consummated on the date assumed or of the Company’s results of operations for any future date.

The acquired renewable energy facilities' non-financial assets represent estimates of the fair value of acquired PPAs and RECs based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement. The estimated fair values were determined based on an income approach and the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets range from 1 to 24 years. See Note 6. Intangible Assets for additional disclosures related to the acquired intangible assets.

Other Acquisitions

Atlantic Power Corporation wind power plant transaction

On June 26, 2015, SunEdison closed the acquisition of 521.0 MW of operating wind power plants located in Idaho and Oklahoma from Atlantic Power Corporation, for total cash consideration of $347.2 million. The assets are contracted under long term PPAs with investment grade utilities with a weighted-average credit rating of A3 and a weighted-average remaining life of 18 years. Concurrent with the closing, SunEdison formed its second warehouse facility, which we refer to as TerraForm Private warehouse, to hold the acquired operating assets from Atlantic Power for a maximum period of seven years. The Company has an exclusive call right over the warehoused operating assets, and expects to acquire them into our portfolio over time.

TERRAFORM POWER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Acquisition of Invenergy wind power plants

On June 30, 2015, the Company entered into definitive agreements to acquire net ownership of 930.0 MW of operating and under construction wind power plants from Invenergy Wind LLC (together with its subsidiaries, ‘‘Invenergy Wind’’). The Company intends to acquire 265.0 MW of the wind power plants (the ‘‘Acquired Portfolio’’) and the Company is pursuing funding for the remaining 665.0 MW of wind power plants (the ‘‘Warehouse Portfolio’’) through a drop down warehouse facility in partnership with third party investors and SunEdison. The Warehouse Portfolio would initially be acquired by such warehouse facility, and the Company would be offered call rights to acquire those assets in the future. Although the Company is pursuing funding of the Warehouse Portfolio through a warehouse facility, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such funding, and as a result, may be required to directly acquire the Warehouse Portfolio under the terms of the purchase agreement with Invenergy Wind. The aggregate consideration payable for the acquisitions of the Acquired Portfolio and the Warehouse Portfolio is approximately $2.0 billion, including approximately $818.0 million of indebtedness to be repaid or assumed. As of July 17, 2015, the Company maintains commitments for a senior unsecured bridge facility of up to $860.0 million to fund a portion of the acquisition of the Invenergy wind power plants. The Acquired Portfolio is comprised of two contracted wind power plants located in the United States and Canada with a weighted average remaining contract life of 19 years and an average counterparty credit rating of AA. Invenergy Wind will retain a 9.9% stake in the United States assets and will provide certain operation and maintenance services for these wind power plants. Final closing of this acquisition is expected by the fourth quarter of 2015.

Subsequent Event

Acquisition of Vivint Solar
    
On July 20, 2015, SunEdison and Vivint Solar, Inc. ("Vivint Solar") signed a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which SunEdison will acquire Vivint Solar for approximately $2.2 billion, payable in a combination of cash, shares of SunEdison common stock and SunEdison convertible notes. In connection with SunEdison's acquisition of Vivint Solar, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement with SunEdison to acquire Vivint Solar's residential solar generation facilities with a nameplate capacity of 523.0 MW (the “Vivint Operating Assets”), which is expected to be completed by the end of 2015, for $922.0 million. The Company intends to finance this acquisition with existing cash, availability under our Revolver and the assumption of project-level debt. A separate Call Right Agreement provides the Company the right to acquire future completed residential and small commercial projects from SunEdison's expanded residential and small commercial business unit. Additionally, on July 20, 2015, the Company obtained commitments for a senior unsecured bridge facility which provides the Company with up to $960.0 million to fund the acquisition of the Vivint Operating Assets.

Construction in progress represents $198.1 million of costs incurred to complete the construction of the facilities in the Company's current portfolio that were either contributed to the Company by SunEdison or acquired from SunEdison. When projects are contributed or sold to the Company after completion by SunEdison, the Company retroactively recasts its historical financial statements to present the construction activity as if it consolidated the facility at inception of the construction. All construction in progress costs are stated at SunEdison's historical cost. These costs include capitalized interest costs and amortization of deferred financing costs incurred during the asset's construction period, which totaled $4.1 million and $4.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and as compared to $6.1 million and $8.2 million for the same periods in the prior year.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had revenue contracts representing long-term PPAs and RECs that were obtained through acquisitions (see Note. 4 Acquisitions). Revenue contracts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lives of the agreements, which range from 1 to 24 years as of June 30, 2015. Amortization expense related to the revenue contracts is recorded on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations as either a reduction or increase of revenue when the contract rate is above or below market rates (favorable or unfavorable) or within depreciation, accretion and amortization expense when the contract rate is equal to market rates (in-place). Amortization expense was $8.8 million and $14.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, $5.4 million and $5.0 million of which were a decrease in revenue and $3.4 million and $9.1 million of which were recorded as depreciation, accretion and amortization expense in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statement of operations. Amortization expense was $0.8 million during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and was recorded on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations as a reduction of revenue.

7. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company is the primary beneficiary of twelve variable interest entities ("VIEs") in renewable energy facilities that were consolidated as of June 30, 2015, nine of which existed and were consolidated as of December 31, 2014. The VIEs own and operate renewable energy facilities in order to generate contracted cash flows. The VIEs were funded through a combination of equity contributions from the owners and non-recourse, project-level debt. No VIEs were deconsolidated during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

The carrying amounts and classification of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities included in the Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheet are as follows:

Corporate-level Long-term Debt

Term Loan
    
On January 28, 2015, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance on the Term Loan of $573.5 million. The Company recognized a $12.0 million loss on the extinguishment of debt during the six months ended June 30, 2015, as a result of this repayment.

Revolving Credit Facilities

On January 28, 2015, the Company replaced its existing revolver with a new $550.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"). The Revolver consists of a revolving credit facility in an amount of at least $550.0 million available for revolving loans and letters of credit. The Company recognized a $1.3 million loss on the extinguishment of debt during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as a result of the exchange.

On May 1, 2015, the Company exercised its option to increase its borrowing capacity under the Revolver by $100.0 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company had a total borrowing capacity of $650.0 million under the Revolver as of June 30, 2015. There were no amounts outstanding under the Revolver as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

On July 13, 2015, the Company obtained a commitment from a lender under the Revolver to increase the Company's borrowing capacity under the Revolver by $75.0 million. Upon the satisfaction of certain customary conditions the total borrowing capacity under the Revolver will be increased to $725.0 million.

The Revolver matures on January 28, 2020. Each of Terra Operating LLC's existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic restricted subsidiaries (excluding non-recourse subsidiaries) and Terra LLC are or will become guarantors under the Revolver.


18

TERRAFORM POWER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

At Terra Operating LLC’s option, all outstanding amounts under the Revolver bears interest initially at a rate per annum equal to either (i) a base rate plus a margin of 1.50% or (ii) a reserve adjusted Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 2.50%. After the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015, the base rate margin will range between 1.25% and 1.75% and the Eurodollar rate margin will range between 2.25% and 2.75% as determined by reference to a leverage-based grid.

The Revolver provides for voluntary prepayments, in whole or in part, subject to notice periods, and requires Terra Operating LLC to prepay outstanding borrowings in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds received by Terra LLC or its restricted subsidiaries from the incurrence of indebtedness not permitted by the Revolver by Terra Operating LLC or its restricted subsidiaries.

The Revolver, each guaranty and any interest rate, currency hedging or hedging of Renewable Energy Certificate ("REC") obligations of Terra Operating LLC or any guarantor owed to the administrative agent, any arranger or any lender under the Revolver is secured by first priority security interests in (i) all of Terra Operating LLC's and each guarantor’s assets, (ii) 100% of the capital stock of Terra Operating LLC and each of its domestic restricted subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of each of Terra Operating LLC’s foreign restricted subsidiaries, and (iii) all intercompany debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, collateral under the Revolver excludes the capital stock of non-recourse subsidiaries.

Senior Notes due 2023

On January 28, 2015, our indirect subsidiary Terra Operating LLC, issued $800.0 million of 5.875% senior notes due 2023 at an offering price of 99.214% of the principal amount. Terra Operating LLC used the net proceeds from this offering to fund a portion of the purchase price payable in the First Wind acquisition.

On June 11, 2015, our indirect subsidiary Terra Operating LLC, issued an additional $150.0 million of 5.875% senior notes due 2023 (collectively, with the $800.0 million initially issued, the "Senior Notes due 2023"). The offering price of the additional $150.0 million of notes was 101.5% of the principal amount and Terra Operating LLC used the net proceeds from the offering to repay existing borrowings under the Revolver. The Senior Notes due 2023 are senior obligations of Terra Operating LLC and are guaranteed by Terra LLC and each of Terra Operating LLC's existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facility, subject to certain exceptions.

Bridge Facility
    
On March 31, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. which provided the Company with up to $515.0 million of senior unsecured bridge facility to fund the acquisition of the Atlantic Power wind power plants. This bridge facility was terminated during the second quarter of 2015 due to the assets being acquired by the TerraForm Private warehouse (see Note 4. Acquisitions).

Project-level Long-term Debt

The Company's renewable energy facilities have long-term debt obligations in separate legal entities. The Company typically finances its renewable energy facilities through project entity specific debt secured by the renewable energy facility's assets (mainly the renewable energy facility) with no recourse to the Company. Typically, these financing arrangements provide for a construction loan, which upon completion may or may not be converted into a term loan.

SunE Perpetual Lindsay

A construction term loan to finance and develop the construction of the SunE Perpetual Lindsay utility-scale solar power plant was entered into during 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, SunEdison repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance of CAD 47.7 million ($38.6 million USD equivalent) due on the SunE Perpetual Lindsay construction term loan on the Company's behalf which was recorded as a capital contribution from SunEdison on the statement of equity.

TERRAFORM POWER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Financing Lease Obligations

In certain transactions, the Company accounts for the proceeds of sale leasebacks as financings, which are typically secured by the renewable energy facility asset and its future cash flows from energy sales, and without recourse to the Company under the terms of the arrangement.

As a result of the First Wind acquisition, the Company acquired approximately $47.4 million of financing lease obligations. The financing lease obligations assumed by the Company include those pursuant to a sale-leaseback agreement, entered into by First Wind on November 21, 2012, whereby First Wind sold substantially all of the property, plant and equipment of the related wind power plant to a financial institution and simultaneously entered into a long-term lease with that financial institution for the use of the assets. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will continue to operate the wind facility and has the option to extend the lease or repurchase the assets sold at the end of the lease term.

Debt Extinguishments

As part of the First Wind acquisition, the Company repaid certain long-term indebtedness of the First Wind Operating Entities. The Company recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $6.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as a result of this repayment.

On May 22, 2015, SunEdison acquired the lessor interest in a portfolio of operating solar generation facilities and concurrently sold the portfolio to the Company. Upon acquisition of the Duke Energy operating facility, the Company recognized a net gain on the extinguishment of debt of $11.4 million due to the termination of $31.5 million of financing lease obligations of the portfolio.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company owns 57.0% of Terra LLC and consolidates the results of Terra LLC through its controlling interest. The Company records SunEdison's 43.0% ownership of Terra LLC as a non-controlling interest in the financial statements. Terra LLC is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. As such, the Company records income tax on its 57.0% of Terra LLC's taxable income and SunEdison records income tax on its 43.0% share of taxable income generated by Terra LLC.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the overall effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the recording of a valuation allowance on certain tax benefits attributed to the Company and to lower statutory income tax rates in our foreign jurisdictions. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the tax benefits for losses realized prior to the IPO were recognized primarily because of existing deferred tax liabilities. As of June 30, 2015, most jurisdictions are in a net deferred tax asset position. A valuation allowance is recorded against the deferred tax assets primarily because of the history of losses in those jurisdictions.

10. DERIVATIVES

As part of the Company’s risk management strategy, the Company has entered into derivative instruments which include interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts and commodity contracts to mitigate interest rate, foreign currency and commodity price exposure. If the Company elects to do so and if the instrument meets the criteria specified in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company designates its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge the variability of expected future cash interest payments. Foreign currency contracts are used to reduce risks arising from the change in fair value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The objective of these practices is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on operating results. The Company also enters into commodity contracts to economically hedge price variability inherent in electricity sales arrangements. The objectives of these transactions are to minimize the impact of variability in spot electricity prices and stabilize estimated revenue streams. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company has posted letters of credit in the amount of $18.0 million as collateral related to certain commodity contracts. Certain derivative contracts contain provisions providing the counterparties a lien on specific assets as collateral. There was no cash collateral received or pledged as of December 31, 2014 related to our derivative transactions.

Derivatives Designated as Hedges

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company has an interest rate swap agreement to hedge floating rate project-level debt. This interest rate swap qualifies for hedge accounting and was designated as a cash flow hedge. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the project pays a fixed rate and the counterparty to the agreement pays a floating interest rate. The amounts deferred in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings during the period related to the interest rate swap are provided in the table above. The loss expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months is approximately $0.8 million.

TERRAFORM POWER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company has interest rate swap agreements that economically hedge the cash flows for project-level debt. These interest rate swaps pay a fixed rate and the counterparties to the agreements pay a floating interest rate. The changes in fair value are recorded in interest expense, net in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations as these hedges are not accounted for under hedge accounting.

Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company has foreign currency contracts in order to economically hedge its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. The settlement of these hedges occurs on a quarterly basis through maturity. As these hedges are not accounted for under hedge accounting, the changes in fair value are recorded in loss on foreign currency exchange, net in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations.

Commodity Contracts

The Company has commodity contracts in order to economically hedge commodity price variability inherent in certain electricity sales arrangements. If the Company sells electricity to an independent system operator market and there is no PPA available, it may enter into a commodity contract to hedge all or a portion of their estimated revenue stream. These commodity contracts require periodic settlements in which the Company receives a fixed price based on specified quantities of electricity and pays the counterparty a floating market price based on the same specified quantity of electricity. As these hedges are not accounted for under hedge accounting, the changes in fair value are recorded in operating revenues net, in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


The fair value of assets and liabilities are determined using either unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) or pricing inputs that are observable (Level 2) whenever that information is available and using unobservable inputs (Level 3) to estimate fair value only when relevant observable inputs are not available. The Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest priority level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2. If the inputs into the valuation are not corroborated by market data, in such instances, the valuation for these contracts is established using techniques including extrapolation from or interpolation between actively traded contracts as well as calculation of implied volatilities. When such inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the instrument is categorized as Level 3. The Company regularly evaluates and validates the inputs used to determine fair value by using pricing services to support the underlying market price of commodity, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

The Company uses a discounted valuation technique to fair value its derivative assets and liabilities. The primary inputs in the valuation models for commodity contracts are market observable forward commodity curves and risk-free discount rates and to a lesser degree credit spreads.

The primary inputs into the valuation of interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts are forward interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and to a lesser degree, credit spreads.
    
The Company's interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts, and commodity contracts are considered Level 2, since all significant inputs are corroborated by market observable data. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the period.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Letters of Credit

The Company's customers, vendors and regulatory agencies often require the Company to post letters of credit in order to guarantee performance under relevant contracts and agreements. The Company is also required to post letters of credit to secure obligations under various swap agreements and leases and may, from time to time, decide to post letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits in reserve accounts under certain financing arrangements. The amount that can be drawn under some of these letters of credit may be increased from time to time subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $175.7 million.

Guarantee Agreements

The Company and its subsidiaries have provided guarantees to certain of its institutional tax equity investors in connection with its tax equity financing transactions. These guarantees do not guarantee the returns targeted by the tax equity investors, but rather support any potential indemnity payments payable under the tax equity agreements. The Company and its subsidiaries have provided guarantees in connection with acquisitions of third party assets or to support contractual obligations and may provide additional guarantees in connection with future acquisitions.

In particular, on May 19, 2015, the Company provided a guaranty in connection with SunEdison’s agreement to acquire a 19.0 MW hydro-electric project and a 185.0 MW wind project in Chile for approximately $195.0 million. The Company has the right to acquire these projects upon the completion of each project, which is expected in late 2015 and late 2016, respectively.

Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company entered into two Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreements ("MIPSA") with affiliates of SunEdison to purchase two wind power plants. Subsequent to June 30, 2015, the Company entered into a third MIPSA with SunEdison to purchase an additional wind power plant. See Note 17. Related Parties for additional discussion of these MIPSAs.

Legal Proceedings
    
The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings other than legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. This Company is also a party to various administrative and regulatory proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business. Although the Company cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of such proceedings or other claims asserted against us, the Company does not believe that any currently pending legal proceeding to which the Company is a party will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Daniel Gerber v. Wiltshire Council

On March 5, 2015, the U.K. High Court issued a verdict that quashed (nullified) the planning permission necessary to build the Company’s 11.2 MW Norrington renewable energy facility in Wiltshire, England. The court found that, among other issues, the local Wiltshire council failed to properly notify a local landowner (the claimant) or notify the English historic preservation agency before granting the permission. U.K. counsel have advised us that the quashing of this planning permission deviates significantly from established case law. The Company filed its appeal of this ruling on March 25, 2015. The appeal was granted and the hearing is scheduled to be held in January 2016. At this time, the Company does not have enough information regarding the probable outcome or the estimated range of reasonably probable losses associated with this ruling, and as of June 30, 2015, no such accrual has been recorded in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The renewable energy facility was constructed by SunEdison pursuant to an engineering, procurement and construction agreement, under which SunEdison assumed development and construction risk. If the ultimate outcome of this case were unfavorable and no replacement permit could be obtained, the Company would therefore be able recover its investment in this project from SunEdison.

17. RELATED PARTIES

Management Services Agreement

General and administrative affiliate costs represent costs incurred by SunEdison for services provided to the Company pursuant to the Management Services Agreement ("MSA"). Pursuant to the MSA, SunEdison agreed to provide or arrange for other service providers to provide management and administrative services including legal, accounting, tax, treasury, project finance, information technology, insurance, employee benefit costs, communications, human resources, and procurement to the Company and its subsidiaries. As consideration for the services provided, the Company will pay SunEdison a base management fee as follows: (i) 2.5% of the Company's cash available for distribution in 2015, 2016, and 2017 (not to exceed $4.0 million in 2015, $7.0 million in 2016 or $9.0 million in 2017), and (ii) an amount equal to SunEdison's or other service provider's actual cost in 2018 and thereafter. General and administrative affiliate costs were $17.9 and $24.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $2.1 million and $4 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2014. These costs are reflected in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations as general and administrative - affiliate costs. Cash consideration paid to SunEdison for these services for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $1.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and general and administrative - affiliate costs in excess of cash consideration paid have been treated as an equity contribution from SunEdison.

Interest Payment Agreement

Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO on July 23, 2014, Terra LLC and Terra Operating LLC entered into an interest payment agreement (the "Interest Payment Agreement") with SunEdison and its wholly owned subsidiary, SunEdison Holdings Corporation, pursuant to which SunEdison will pay all of the scheduled interest on the Term Loan through the third anniversary of Terra LLC and Terra Operating LLC entering into the Term Loan, up to an aggregate of $48.0 million over such period (plus any interest due on any payment not remitted when due). Interest expense incurred under the term loan is reflected in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations and the reimbursement for such costs is treated as an equity contribution in additional paid-in capital from SunEdison. The Company did not receive an equity contribution during the three months ended June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company received an equity contribution of $4.0 million from SunEdison pursuant to the Interest Payment Agreement. There were no amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2015.

On January 28, 2015, Terra LLC and Terra Operating entered into the Amended and Restated Interest Payment Agreement (the “Amended Interest Payment Agreement”) with SunEdison and SunEdison Holdings Corporation. The Amended Interest Payment Agreement amends and restates the Interest Payment Agreement, all in accordance with the terms of the

30

TERRAFORM POWER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Intercompany Agreement. Under the Amended Interest Payment Agreement, SunEdison agreed to provide support with respect to the interest payment obligations of Terra Operating LLC with respect to its $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2023 under the Indenture, dated January 28, 2015.

Incentive Revenue

Certain Solar Renewable Energy Certificates ("SRECs") are sold to SunEdison under contractual arrangements at fixed prices. Revenue from the sale of SRECs to affiliates was $0.3 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and were $0.4 million and $0.5 million during the same periods in 2014, respectively, and are reported as operating revenues, net in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

Operations and Maintenance

Operations and maintenance services are provided to the Company by affiliates of SunEdison pursuant to contractual agreements. Costs incurred for these services were $4.2 million and $7.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and were $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, during the same periods in 2014, respectively, and are reported as cost of operations - affiliates in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

SunEdison and Affiliates

Certain of the Company's expenses and capital expenditures related to construction in process are paid by affiliates of SunEdison and are reimbursed by the Company to the same, or other affiliates of SunEdison. Additionally, all amounts incurred by the Company and not paid as of the balance sheet date for Call Right Projects acquired from SunEdison are reported as due to SunEdison and affiliates.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company owed SunEdison and affiliates $28.1 million, which is reported as due to SunEdison and affiliates, net in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2014, the Company owed SunEdison and affiliates $186.4 million, which is reported as due to SunEdison and affiliates, net in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

On June 15, 2015, the Company paid its first quarter 2015 dividend of $16.8 million to its Class B shareholder, SunEdison, which included a reduction in the dividend per share amount for Distribution Forbearance.

Incentive Distribution Rights

Incentive Distribution Rights ("IDRs") represent the right to receive increasing percentages (15.0%, 25.0% and 50.0%) of Terra LLC’s quarterly distributions after the Class A Units, Class B units, and Class B1 units of Terra LLC have received quarterly distributions in an amount equal to $0.2257 per unit (the "Minimum Quarterly Distribution") and the target distribution levels have been achieved. Upon the completion of the IPO, SunEdison holds 100% of the IDRs.

Initial IDR Structure

If for any quarter:
Terra LLC has made cash distributions to the holders of its Class A units, Class B1 units and, subject to the Distribution Forbearance Provisions, Class B units in an amount equal to the Minimum Quarterly Distribution; and
Terra LLC has distributed cash to holders of Class A units and holders of Class B1 units in an amount necessary to eliminate any arrearages in payment of the Minimum Quarterly Distribution;
 
then Terra LLC will make additional cash distributions for that quarter among holders of its Class A units, Class B units, Class B1 units and the IDRs in the following manner:
first, to all holders of Class A units, Class B1 units and, subject to the Distribution Forbearance Provisions, Class B units, pro rata, until each holder receives a total of $0.3386 per unit for that quarter (the “First Target Distribution”) (150.0% of the Minimum Quarterly Distribution);
second, 85.0% to all holders of Class A units, Class B1 units and, subject to the Distribution Forbearance Provisions, Class B units, pro rata, and 15.0% to the holders of the IDRs, until each holder of Class A units, Class B1 units and, subject to the Distribution Forbearance Provisions, Class B units receives a total of $0.3950 per unit for that quarter (the “Second Target Distribution”) (175.0% of the Minimum Quarterly Distribution);

There were no payments for IDRs made by the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement

On March 30, 2015, the Company entered into two MIPSAs in which the Company has committed to purchase two wind power plants from affiliates of SunEdison upon the facilities achieving commercial operations. The facilities are located in Maine and Texas with nameplate capacities of 147.6 MW and 200.0 MW, respectively. The total fixed purchase price is $378.2 million subject to certain adjustments. The facilities are currently under construction with commercial operations expected to be achieved in the third and fourth quarter of 2015, respectively.

The Company has two reportable segments: Solar and Wind. These segments include our entire portfolio of renewable energy facility assets and are determined based on the “management” approach. This approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the reportable segments. Corporate expenses include general and administrative expenses, acquisition costs, formation and offering related fees and expenses, interest expense on corporate indebtedness and stock-based compensation. All net operating revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were earned by our reportable segments from external customers in the United States and its unincorporated territories, Canada, the United Kingdom and Chile. All net operating revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were earned from external customers in the United States and its unincorporated territories, the United Kingdom and Chile.

Overview

We are a dividend growth-oriented company formed to own and operate contracted renewable energy assets acquired from SunEdison and unaffiliated third parties. Our business objective is to acquire, operate and own renewable energy generation assets serving utility and commercial customers that generate high-quality contracted cash flows. We believe we are well-positioned for substantial growth due to the high-quality, diversification and scale of our portfolio, the long-term PPAs we have with creditworthy counterparties and SunEdison's project origination and asset management capabilities.

Recent Developments

36



Senior Notes due 2023

On January 28, 2015, our indirect subsidiary Terra Operating LLC, issued $800.0 million of 5.875% senior notes due 2023 at an offering price of 99.214% of the principal amount. Terra Operating LLC used the net proceeds from this offering to fund a portion of the purchase price payable in the First Wind acquisition.

On June 11, 2015, our indirect subsidiary Terra Operating LLC, issued an additional $150.0 million of 5.875% senior notes due 2023 (collectively, with the $800.0 million initially issued, the "Senior Notes due 2023"). The offering price of the additional $150.0 million of notes was 101.5% of the principal amount and Terra Operating LLC used the net proceeds from the offering to repay existing borrowings under the Revolver. The Senior Notes due 2023 are senior obligations of Terra Operating LLC and are guaranteed by Terra LLC and each of Terra Operating LLC's existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facility, subject to certain exceptions.

Senior Notes due 2025

On July 17, 2015, our indirect subsidiary Terra Operating LLC, issued $300.0 million of 6.125% senior notes due 2025 at an offering price of 100% of the principal amount (the "Senior Notes due 2025"). Terra Operating LLC intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund a portion of the price of the Invenergy wind power plants acquisition. The Senior Notes due 2025 are senior obligations of Terra Operating LLC and are guaranteed by Terra LLC and each of Terra Operating LLC's existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facility, subject to certain exceptions.

Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility

On January 28, 2015, the Company repaid the Term Loan in full and replaced its existing revolver with a new $550.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"). The Revolver consists of a revolving credit facility in an amount of at least $550.0 million (available for revolving loans and letters of credit) and permits Terra Operating LLC to increase commitments to up to $725.0 million in the aggregate, subject to customary closing conditions. The Revolver matures on January 28, 2020. Each of Terra Operating LLC's existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic restricted subsidiaries (excluding non-recourse subsidiaries) and Terra LLC are or will become guarantors under the Revolver.

Revolver Increase and Commitment
    
On May 1, 2015, the Company exercised its option to increase its borrowing capacity under the Revolver by $100.0 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company had a total borrowing capacity of $650.0 million under the Revolver as of June 30, 2015. There were no amounts outstanding under the Revolver as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

On July 13, 2015, the Company obtained a commitment from a lender under the Revolver to increase the Company's borrowing capacity under the Revolver by $75.0 million. Upon the satisfaction of certain customary conditions the total borrowing capacity under the Revolver will be increased to $725.0 million.

Third Party Acquisitions

Acquisition of First Wind

On January 29, 2015, the Company, through Terra LLC, acquired from First Wind Holdings, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “First Wind”) 521.1 MW of operating renewable power assets, including 500.0 MW of wind power plants and 21.1 MW of solar generation facilities (the “First Wind acquisition”). The operating renewable power assets the Company acquired are located in Maine, New York, Hawaii, Vermont and Massachusetts. The purchase price for this acquisition was $810.4 million, net of cash acquired.

Acquisition of Northern Lights solar generation facilities

On June 30, 2015, the Company acquired two utility scale, ground mounted solar generation facilities from Invenergy Solar LLC ("Northern Lights"). The facilities are located in Ontario, Canada and have a total nameplate capacity of 25.7 MW. The facilities are contracted under long-term PPAs with an investment grade utility with a credit rating of Aa2, and the PPAs have a weighted average remaining life of 18 years. The total cash consideration for this acquisition was CAD 125.4 million ($101.1 million USD equivalent) including the repayment of project-level debt and breakage fees for the termination of interest rate swaps.

37



Atlantic Power Corporation wind power plant transaction

On June 26, 2015, SunEdison closed the acquisition of 521.0 MW of operating wind power plants located in Idaho and Oklahoma from Atlantic Power Corporation, for total cash consideration of $347.2 million. The assets are contracted under long term PPAs with investment grade utilities with a weighted-average credit rating of A3 and a weighted-average remaining life of 18 years. Concurrent with the closing, SunEdison formed its second warehouse facility, which we refer to as TerraForm Private warehouse, to hold the acquired operating assets from Atlantic Power for a maximum period of seven years. The Company has an exclusive call right over the warehoused operating assets, and expects to acquire them into our portfolio over time.

Acquisition of Invenergy wind power plants

On June 30, 2015, the Company entered into definitive agreements to acquire net ownership of 930.0 MW of operating and under construction wind power plants from Invenergy Wind LLC (together with its subsidiaries, ‘‘Invenergy Wind’’). The Company intends to acquire 265.0 MW of the wind power plants (the ‘‘Acquired Portfolio’’) and the Company is pursuing funding for the remaining 665.0 MW of wind power plants (the ‘‘Warehouse Portfolio’’) through a drop down warehouse facility in partnership with third party investors and SunEdison. The Warehouse Portfolio would initially be acquired by such warehouse facility, and the Company would be offered call rights to acquire those assets in the future. Although the Company is pursuing funding of the Warehouse Portfolio through a warehouse facility, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such funding, and as a result, may be required to directly acquire the Warehouse Portfolio under the terms of the purchase agreement with Invenergy Wind. The aggregate consideration payable for the acquisitions of the Acquired Portfolio and the Warehouse Portfolio is approximately $2.0 billion, including approximately $818.0 million of indebtedness to be repaid or assumed. As of July 17, 2015, the Company maintains commitments for a senior unsecured bridge facility of up to $860.0 million to fund a portion of the acquisition of the Invenergy wind power plants. The Acquired Portfolio is comprised of two contracted wind power plants located in the United States and Canada with a weighted average remaining contract life of 19 years and an average counterparty credit rating of AA. Invenergy Wind will retain a 9.9% stake in the United States assets and will provide certain operation and maintenance services for these wind power plants. Final closing of this acquisition is expected by the fourth quarter of 2015.

Acquisition of Vivint Solar
    
On July 20, 2015, SunEdison and Vivint Solar, Inc. ("Vivint Solar") signed a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which SunEdison will acquire Vivint Solar for approximately $2.2 billion, payable in a combination of cash, shares of SunEdison common stock and SunEdison convertible notes. In connection with SunEdison's acquisition of Vivint Solar, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement with SunEdison to acquire Vivint Solar's residential solar generation facilities with a nameplate capacity of 523.0 MW (the “Vivint Operating Assets”), which is expected to be completed by the end of 2015, for $922.0 million. The Company intends to finance this acquisition with existing cash, availability under our Revolver and the assumption of project-level debt. A separate Call Right Agreement provides the Company the right to acquire future completed residential and small commercial projects from SunEdison's expanded residential and small commercial business unit. Additionally, on July 20, 2015, the Company obtained commitments for a senior unsecured bridge facility which provides the Company with up to $960.0 million to fund the acquisition of the Vivint Operating Assets.

Call Right Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company acquired 68 solar generation facilities with a combined nameplate capacity of 313.0 MW from SunEdison as summarized in the table below:

(1)
Nameplate capacity for renewable energy facilities represents the maximum generating capacity at standard test conditions of a facility (in direct current, "dc") multiplied by our percentage ownership of that facility (disregarding any equity interests held by any non-controlling member or lessor under any sale-leaseback financing or any non-controlling interests in a partnership). Nameplate capacity for wind power plants represents the manufacturer’s maximum nameplate generating capacity of each turbine (in alternating current, "ac") multiplied by the number of turbines at a facility multiplied by our anticipated percentage ownership of that facility (disregarding any equity interests held by any tax equity investor or lessor under any sale-leaseback financing or any non-controlling interests in a partnership). Generating capacity may vary based on a variety of factors discussed elsewhere in this report.

Our Portfolio

Our portfolio consists of renewable energy facilities located in the United States and its unincorporated territories, Canada, the United Kingdom and Chile with total nameplate capacity of 1,883.5 MW as of June 30, 2015. These renewable energy facilities generally have long-term PPAs with creditworthy counterparties. Our PPAs have a weighted average (based on MW) remaining life of 16 years. We intend to further expand and diversify our current portfolio by acquiring utility-scale, distributed and residential assets located in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Chile and certain other jurisdictions, each of which we expect will also have a long-term PPA with a creditworthy counterparty. Growth in our portfolio will be driven by our relationship with SunEdison, including access to its project pipeline, and by our access to unaffiliated third party developers and owners of renewable energy facilities in our core markets.

Nameplate capacity for solar generation facilities represents the maximum generating capacity at standard test conditions of a facility (in dc) multiplied by our percentage ownership of that facility (disregarding any equity interests held by any tax equity investor or lessor under sale leaseback financing or of any non-controlling interests in a partnership). Nameplate capacity for wind power plants represents the manufacturer’s maximum nameplate generating capacity of each turbine (in ac) multiplied by the number of turbines at a facility multiplied by our anticipated percentage ownership of that facility (disregarding any equity interests held by any tax equity investor or lessor under any sale-leaseback financing or of any non-controlling interests in a partnership). Generating capacity may vary based on a variety of factors discussed elsewhere in this report.

Call Right Projects

As of June 30, 2015, we have the option to acquire 3.7 GW of Call Right Projects. We entered into the Support Agreement with SunEdison in connection with our IPO, which requires SunEdison to offer us additional qualifying projects from its development pipeline by the end of 2016 that are projected to generate an aggregate of at least $175.0 million of cash available for distribution, during the first 12 months following the qualifying project’s respective COD. As of June 30, 2015, the Call Right Projects that are specifically identified pursuant to the Support Agreement have a total nameplate capacity of 1.9 GW. In addition, in connection with the First Wind acquisition, we entered into an Intercompany Agreement with SunEdison, pursuant to which we have been granted additional call rights with respect to certain projects in the First Wind pipeline, which are expected to represent an additional 1.8 GW of renewable energy facilities. These additional Call Right Projects pursuant to the Intercompany Agreement do not count towards SunEdison's $175.0 million CAFD commitment.

Key Metrics

Operating Metrics

Nameplate Megawatt Capacity

We measure the electricity-generating production capacity of our renewable energy facilities in nameplate megawatt capacity. Rated capacity is the expected maximum output a power generation system can produce without exceeding its design limits. Nameplate capacity is the rated capacity of all of the renewable energy facilities we own adjusted to reflect our economic ownership of joint ventures and similar power generation facilities. We measure nameplate capacity for solar generation facilities in MW(dc) and for wind power plants in MW(ac). The size of our renewable energy facilities varies significantly among the assets comprising our portfolio. We believe the aggregate nameplate megawatt capacity of our portfolio is indicative of our overall production capacity and period to period comparisons of our nameplate megawatt capacity are indicative of the growth rate of our business. Our renewable energy facilities had a total nameplate capacity of 1,883.5 MW as of June 30, 2015.

Megawatt Hours Sold

Megawatt hours (MWh) sold refers to the actual volume of electricity sold by our renewable energy facilities during a particular period. We track megawatt hours sold as an indicator of our ability to recognize revenue from the generation of electricity at our renewable energy facilities. Our MWh sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were 944 thousand MWh and 1,546 thousand MWh, respectively.

Financial Metrics

Adjusted EBITDA
    
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance and debt service capabilities. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management for internal planning purposes, including for certain aspects of our consolidated operating budget.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, net; income taxes; depreciation, accretion and amortization; stock-based compensation; and certain other non-cash charges, unusual or non-recurring items and other items that we believe are not representative of our core business or future operating performance. Our definitions and calculations of these items may not necessarily be the same as those used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or profitability and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(a)
In connection with the amended Interest Payment Agreement between SunEdison and the Company, SunEdison will pay a portion of each scheduled interest payment on the Senior Notes due 2023, beginning with the first scheduled interest payment on August 1, 2015 and continuing through the scheduled interest payment on August 1, 2017, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $48.0 million, taking into account amounts paid under the original Interest Payment Agreement since the completion of our IPO. The Company did not receive an equity contribution during the three months ended June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company received an equity contribution of $4.0 million from SunEdison pursuant to the original Interest Payment Agreement.
(b)
Includes $5.4 million and $5.0 million of net amortization of intangible assets related to above market rate and below market rate energy revenue contracts included within operating revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $0.8 million for both of the prior year comparative periods.
(c)
Represents the non-cash allocation of SunEdison's corporate overhead. In conjunction with the closing of the IPO on July 23, 2014, we entered into the Management Services Agreement ("MSA") with SunEdison, pursuant to which SunEdison provides or arranges for other service providers to provide management and administrative services to us. Cash consideration paid to SunEdison for these services for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $1.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The cash fees payable to SunEdison will be capped at $4.0 million in 2015, $7.0 million in 2016, and $9.0 million in 2017. The amount of general and administrative expenses in excess of the fees paid to SunEdison in each year will be treated as an addback in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.
(d)
Represents transaction related costs, including affiliate acquisition costs, associated with the acquisitions completed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. There were no affiliate acquisition costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
(e)
Represents non-recurring professional fees for legal, tax and accounting services incurred in connection with the IPO.
(f)
Represents the change in the fair value of commodity contracts not designated as hedges.

42


(g)
We recognized a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 due to the termination of financing lease obligations upon SunEdison acquiring the lessor interest in the Duke Energy operating facility and concurrently transferring the portfolio to the Company. We recognized a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 due primarily to the termination of the Term Loan and its related interest rate swap, the exchange of the previous revolver to the Revolver and prepayment of premium paid in conjunction with the payoff of First Wind indebtedness at the acquisition date, partially offset by the gain due to the termination of financing lease obligations upon SunEdison acquiring the lessor interest in the Duke Energy operating facility and concurrently transferring the portfolio to the Company. Net loss on extinguishment of debt was $1.9 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, due primarily to the termination of capital lease obligations upon acquiring the lessor interest in the Alamosa project solar generation facility.
(h)
Represents non-recurring plant-level professional fees attributable to tax equity transactions entered into during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.
(i)
We incurred a net gain on foreign currency exchange of $14.4 million and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, due primarily to an unrealized gain on the remeasurement of intercompany loans which are denominated in British pounds. Net loss on foreign currency exchange was $0.1 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, due primarily to unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Cash Available for Distribution

We believe cash available for distribution is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance. In addition, cash available for distribution is used by our management team for internal planning purposes.

We define Cash Available For Distribution (“CAFD”) as net cash provided by operating activities of Terra LLC as adjusted for certain other cash flow items that we associate with our operations. It is a non-GAAP measure of our ability to generate cash to service our dividends. As used in this report, CAFD represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of Terra LLC (i) plus or minus changes in assets and liabilities as reflected on our statements of cash flows, (ii) minus deposits into (or plus withdrawals from) restricted cash accounts required by project financing arrangements to the extent they decrease (or increase) cash provided by operating activities, (iii) minus cash distributions paid to non-controlling interests in our projects, if any, (iv) minus scheduled project-level and other debt service payments and repayments in accordance with the related borrowing arrangements, to the extent they are paid from operating cash flows during a period, (v) minus non-expansionary capital expenditures, if any, to the extent they are paid from operating cash flows during a period, (vi) plus cash contributions from SunEdison pursuant to the Interest Payment Agreement, (vii) plus operating costs and expenses paid by SunEdison pursuant to the MSA to the extent such costs or expenses exceed the fee payable by us pursuant to such agreement but otherwise reduce our net cash provided by operating activities and (viii) plus or minus operating items as necessary to present the cash flows we deem representative of our core business operations, with the approval of the audit committee. Our intention is to cause Terra LLC to distribute a portion of the CAFD generated by our project portfolio to its members each quarter, after appropriate reserves for our working capital needs and the prudent conduct of our business.

Consolidated Results of Operations
    
For periods prior to the IPO, our consolidated results of operations represent the combination of TerraForm Power and Terra LLC, our accounting predecessor. For all periods subsequent to the IPO, the amounts shown in the table below represent the results of Terra LLC, which are consolidated by TerraForm Power through its controlling interest. The operating results of
Terra LLC for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 exclude $2.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense, which is reflected in the operating results of TerraForm Power. There was no stock-based compensation expense recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The following table illustrates the unaudited consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same periods in the prior year:

We incurred a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, which was due to termination of financing lease obligations upon acquisition of the Duke Energy operating facility. Net loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was due to the termination of our capital lease obligations upon acquiring the lessor interest in the Alamosa project renewable energy facilities.

Gain on Foreign Currency Exchange, net

We incurred a net gain on foreign currency exchange of $14.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to an unrealized gain on the remeasurement of intercompany loans that are denominated in British pounds due to the weakening of the U.S. Dollar against the British Pound. These amounts were offset by other inconsequential foreign currency fluctuations.

Income Tax Provision

Income tax expense was $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to an income tax benefit of $5.3 million during the same period in 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the overall effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the recording of a valuation allowance on certain tax benefits attributed to the Company and to lower statutory income tax rates in our foreign jurisdictions.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. This was the result of a $21.5 million gain attributable to SunEdison's and Riverstone's interest in Terra LLC's net income during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and a $11.6 million loss attributable to project-level non-controlling interests. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and was solely attributable to project-level non-controlling interests.

These amounts were offset by other inconsequential foreign currency fluctuations.

Income Tax Provision

Income tax expense was $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to an income tax benefit of $6.9 million during the same period in 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the overall effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the recording of a valuation allowance on certain tax benefits attributed to the Company and to lower statutory income tax rates in our foreign jurisdictions.


54


Net Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests was $45.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This was the result of a $8.9 million loss attributable to SunEdison's and Riverstone's interest in Terra LLC's net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and a $36.6 million loss attributable to project-level non-controlling interests. Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and was solely attributable to project-level non-controlling interests.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal liquidity requirements are to finance current operations, service our debt and to fund cash dividends to our investors. We will also use capital in the future to finance expansion capital expenditures and acquisitions. Historically, our Predecessor's operations were financed as part of SunEdison's integrated operations and largely relied on internally generated cash flow as well as corporate and/or project-level borrowings to satisfy capital expenditure requirements. As a normal part of our business, depending on market conditions, we will from time to time consider opportunities to repay, redeem, repurchase or refinance our indebtedness. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated electricity sales, increased expenses, acquisitions or other events may cause us to seek additional debt or equity financing in future periods. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations and additional covenants and operating restrictions. Equity financing, if any, could result in the dilution of our existing stockholders and make it more difficult for us to maintain our dividend policy.

Liquidity Position

Total liquidity as of June 30, 2015 was approximately $1,069.6 million, comprised of cash and restricted cash of $473.6 million and availability under the Revolver of $596.0 million. As of December 31, 2014, our total liquidity was approximately $764.6 million, comprised of cash and restricted cash of $549.6 million and availability under the Revolver of $215.0 million. Management believes that our liquidity position and cash flows from operations will be adequate to finance growth, operating and maintenance capital expenditures, and to fund dividends to holders of our Class A common stock and other liquidity commitments. Management continues to regularly monitor our ability to finance the needs of operating, financing and investing activities within the dictates of prudent balance sheet management as our long-term growth will require additional capital.

Sources of Liquidity
    
Our principal sources of liquidity include cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings under new and existing financing arrangements and the issuance of additional equity and debt securities as appropriate given market conditions. We expect that these sources of funds will be adequate to provide for our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements, including capital expenditures, as well as make acquisitions, will depend on our future operating performance which, in turn, will be subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control.

Uses of Liquidity

Our principal requirements for liquidity and capital resources, other than for operating our business, can generally be categorized by the following: (i) debt service obligations; (ii) funding acquisitions, if any; and (iii) cash dividends to investors. Generally, once commercial operation is reached, renewable power facilities do not require significant capital expenditures to maintain operating performance.

The amount of long-term debt due in 2016 includes GBP 172.6 million (USD $271.3 million) of debt for the Fairwinds & Crundale facilities and the U.K. Call Right Projects.

Acquisitions

We expect to continue to acquire additional renewable energy facilities from SunEdison and from unaffiliated third parties. Although we have no commitments to make any such acquisitions from SunEdison, we expect to acquire certain of the Call Right Projects, ROFO Projects and projects held in multiple warehouses owned by SunEdison in the near future.

Interest Payment Agreement

In connection with the closing of the IPO on July 23, 2014, we entered into the Interest Payment Agreement with SunEdison and its wholly owned subsidiary, SunEdison Holdings Corporation, pursuant to which SunEdison has agreed to pay all of the scheduled interest on the Term Loan through July 23, 2017, up to an aggregate of $48.0 million over such period (plus any interest due on any payment not remitted when due).

On January 28, 2015, Terra LLC and Terra Operating entered into the Amended and Restated Interest Payment Agreement (the “Amended Interest Payment Agreement”) with SunEdison and SunEdison Holdings Corporation. The Amended Interest Payment Agreement amends and restates the Interest Payment Agreement, all in accordance with the terms of the Intercompany Agreement.

Pursuant to the Amended Interest Payment Agreement, SunEdison has agreed to pay amounts equal to a portion of each scheduled interest payment on the Senior Notes due 2023, beginning with the first scheduled interest payment on August 1, 2015, and continuing through the scheduled interest payment on August 1, 2017. Amounts will be paid by SunEdison as follows: (1) in respect of the first scheduled interest payment, $16.0 million, less amounts already paid by SunEdison under the original Interest Payment Agreement, (2) in respect of each scheduled interest payment in 2016, $8.0 million, and (3) in respect of each scheduled interest payment in 2017, $8.0 million, provided that the maximum amount payable by SunEdison under the Amended Interest Payment Agreement (inclusive of amounts already paid under the original Interest Payment Agreement) may not exceed $48.0 million (plus any interest due on any payment not remitted when due). SunEdison will also not be obligated to pay any amounts payable under the Senior Notes due 2023 in connection with an acceleration of the indebtedness thereunder.

The Amended Interest Payment Agreement may be terminated early by mutual written agreement of SunEdison and Terra Operating and will automatically terminate upon the repayment in full of all outstanding indebtedness under the Senior Notes due 2023 or a specified change of control of TerraForm Power, Terra LLC or Terra Operating. The agreement may also be terminated at the election of SunEdison, Terra LLC or Terra Operating if any of them experiences certain events relating to bankruptcy or insolvency. Any decision by Terra LLC or Terra Operating to terminate the Amended Interest Payment Agreement must have the prior approval of a majority of the members of TerraForm Power’s Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee of its board of directors.

Cash Dividends to Investors

We intend to pay regular quarterly cash dividends to holders of our Class A common stock on or about the 75th day following the last day of each fiscal quarter.

On May 7, 2015, the Company declared a quarterly dividend for the first quarter on the Company's Class A common stock of $0.325 per share, or $1.30 per share on an annualized basis. The first quarter dividend was paid on June 15, 2015 to shareholders of record as of June 1, 2015.


56


We intend to cause Terra LLC to make regular quarterly cash distributions in an amount equal to cash available for distribution generated during a particular quarter, less reserves for working capital needs and the prudent conduct of our business, to its members (including to us as the sole holder of the Class A units, to SunEdison as the sole holder of the Class B units and to Riverstone as the sole holder of Class B1 units) pro rata based on the number of units held. During the Subordination Period provided for in the operating agreement of Terra LLC, or the "Subordination Period," which will be a minimum of three years from the date of the IPO, the Class A units and Class B1 units are entitled to receive quarterly distributions in an amount equal to $0.2257 per unit, or the "Minimum Quarterly Distribution," plus any arrearages in the payment of the Minimum Quarterly Distribution from prior quarters, before any distributions may be made on the Class B units. The practical effect of the subordination of the Class B units is to increase the likelihood that during the Subordination Period there will be sufficient CAFD to pay the Minimum Quarterly Distribution on the Class A units (and Class B1 units, if any).

Incentive Distribution Rights
    
IDRs represent the right to receive increasing percentages (15.0%, 25.0% and 50.0%) of Terra LLC’s quarterly distributions after the Class A Units, Class B units, and Class B1 units of Terra LLC have received quarterly distributions in an amount equal to $0.2257 per unit and the target distribution levels have been achieved. Upon the completion of the IPO, SunEdison holds 100% of the IDRs.

Initial IDR Structure

If for any quarter:
Terra LLC has made cash distributions to the holders of its Class A units, Class B1 units and, subject to the Distribution Forbearance Provisions, Class B units in an amount equal to the Minimum Quarterly Distribution; and
Terra LLC has distributed cash to holders of Class A units and holders of Class B1 units in an amount necessary to eliminate any arrearages in payment of the Minimum Quarterly Distribution;

then Terra LLC will make additional cash distributions for that quarter among holders of its Class A units, Class B units, Class B1 units and the IDRs in the following manner:

first, to all holders of Class A units, Class B1 units and, subject to the Distribution Forbearance Provisions, Class B units, pro rata, until each holder receives a total of $0.3386 per unit for that quarter (the “First Target Distribution”) (150.0% of the Minimum Quarterly Distribution);
second, 85.0% to all holders of Class A units, Class B1 units and, subject to the Distribution Forbearance Provisions, Class B units, pro rata, and 15.0% to the holders of the IDRs, until each holder of Class A units, Class B1 units and, subject to the Distribution Forbearance Provisions, Class B units receives a total of $0.3950 per unit for that quarter (the “Second Target Distribution”) (175.0% of the Minimum Quarterly Distribution);
third, 75.0% to all holders of Class A units, Class B1 units and, subject to the Distribution Forbearance Provisions, Class B units, pro rata, and 25.0% to the holders of the IDRs, until each holder of Class A units, Class B1 units and, subject to the Distribution Forbearance Provisions, Class B units receives a total of $0.4514 per unit for that quarter (the “Third Target Distribution”) (200.0% of the Minimum Quarterly Distribution); and
thereafter, 50.0% to all holders of Class A units, Class B1 units and, subject to the Distribution Forbearance Provisions, Class B units, pro rata, and 50.0% to the holders of the IDRs.

There were no IDR payments made by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Cash Flow Discussion
    
We use traditional measures of cash flow, including net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, net cash used in investing activities and net cash provided by financing activities to evaluate our periodic cash flow results.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Net Cash (Used In) Provided By Operating Activities

The increase in net cash used in operating activities is driven by an increase in operating income, excluding the impact of non-cash items compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

The change in net cash used in investing activities includes $351.3 million of cash paid to third parties for the construction of renewable energy facilities and $1,004.8 million of cash paid for third party acquisitions. When SunEdison contributes projects, we recast our cash flow statement to present construction costs incurred by SunEdison as if they were our construction costs. SunEdison continues to maintain the construction related liabilities for all renewable energy facilities. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $702.9 million, which includes $524.1 million of cash paid to SunEdison and third parties for the construction of solar generation facilities, $191.1 million of cash paid to third parties for acquisitions of solar generation facilities, and changes in restricted cash in accordance with the restrictions in our debt agreements

Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $1,263.7 million, which consisted of $921.6 million of net proceeds from our equity offering and $946.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes due 2023, offset by $573.5 million repayment of our term loan, and dividend and distribution payments of $33.9 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $705.5 million, which was primarily attributable to $551.6 million of net proceeds from construction and term debt financing arrangements to fund the acquisition of projects from third party developers prior to our IPO.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. This standard will become effective for us on January 1, 2018. Early application is permitted but not before January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method or determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02 Consolidation (Topic 810) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which affects the following areas of the consolidation analysis: limited partnerships and similar entities, evaluation of

58


fees paid to a decision maker or service provider as a variable interest and in determination of the primary beneficiary, effect of related parties on the primary beneficiary determination and for certain investment funds. ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for us for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 and interim periods therein. We are evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for us for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 and interim periods therein. We are evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated balance sheet.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-06 Earnings Per Share, which provides guidance on the presentation of historical earnings per unit under the two-class method for transfers of net assets between entities under common control. ASU No. 2015-06 is effective for us for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 and interim periods therein. We are evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11 Inventory, which requires inventory that is measured using the first-in, first-out method or average cost method to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU No. 2015-10 is effective for us for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 and interim periods therein. We are evaluating the impact of this standard on our SREC inventory.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to several market risks in our normal business activities. Market risk is the potential loss that may result from market changes associated with our business or with an existing or forecasted financial or commodity transaction. The types of market risks we are exposed to are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and commodity risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2015, the estimated fair value of our debt was $2,311.4 million and the carrying value of our debt was $2,266.9 million. We estimate that a 100 bps, or 1%, increase or decrease in market interest rates would have increased or decreased the fair value of our long-term debt by $138.2 million.

As of June 30, 2015, our corporate-level debt consisting of the Senior Notes due 2023 and the Revolver were at fixed and variable rates, respectively. We have not entered into any interest rate derivatives to swap our variable rate corporate-level debt to a fixed rate.

As of June 30, 2015, our project-level debt was at both fixed and variable rates. We have entered into interest rate derivatives to swap certain of our variable rate project-level debt to a fixed rate. Although we intend to use hedging strategies to mitigate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, we may not hedge all of our interest rate risk and, to the extent we enter into interest rate hedges, our hedges may not necessarily have the same duration as the associated indebtedness. Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the amount of indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates, the time at which the interest rate is adjusted, the amount of the adjustment, our ability to prepay or refinance variable rate indebtedness when fixed rate debt matures and needs to be refinanced and hedging strategies we may use to reduce the impact of any increases in rates. We estimate that a hypothetical 100 bps, or 1%, increase or decrease in our variable interest rates pertaining to interest rate swaps would have increased or decreased our earnings by $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Foreign Currency Risk

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we generated operating revenues in the United States and its unincorporated territories, the United Kingdom, and Chile, with all of our revenues being denominated in U.S. dollars and British pounds. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we generated operating revenues in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Chile, with all of our revenues being denominated in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, and British pounds. The PPAs, operating and maintenance agreements, financing arrangements and other contractual arrangements relating to our current portfolio are denominated in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars and British pounds.     

We use currency forward contracts in certain instances to mitigate the financial market risks of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We manage our foreign currency exposures through the use of these currency forward contracts to

59


reduce risks arising from the change in fair value of certain assets and liabilities denominated in British pounds and Canadian dollars. The objective of these practices is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on our operating results. We estimate that a hypothetical 1% increase or decrease in foreign exchange rates would have increased or decreased our earnings by $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Commodity Risk

We use long-term cash settled swap agreements to economically hedge commodity price variability inherent in wind electricity sales arrangements. If we sell electricity generated by our wind power plants to an independent system operator market and there is no PPA available, then we may enter into a commodity swap to hedge all or a portion of the estimated revenue stream. These price swap agreements require periodic settlements, in which the Company receives a fixed price based on specified quantities of electricity and pays the counterparty a floating market price based on the same specified quantity of electricity. We estimate that a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in electricity sales prices would have decreased or increased our earnings by $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation as of June 30, 2015, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not a party to any legal proceedings other than legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are also a party to various administrative and regulatory proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of such proceedings or other claims asserted against us, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceeding to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Daniel Gerber v. Wiltshire Council

On March 5, 2015, the U.K. High Court issued a verdict that quashed (nullified) the planning permission necessary to build the Company’s 11.2 MW Norrington renewable energy facility in Wiltshire, England. The court found that, among other issues, the local Wiltshire council failed to properly notify a local landowner (the claimant) or notify the English historic preservation agency before granting the permission. U.K. counsel have advised us that the quashing of this planning permission deviates significantly from established case law. The Company filed its appeal of this ruling on March 25, 2015. The appeal was granted and the hearing is scheduled to be held in January 2016. At this time, the Company does not have enough information regarding the probable outcome or the estimated range of reasonably probable losses associated with this ruling, and as of June 30, 2015, no such accrual has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The renewable energy facility was constructed by SunEdison pursuant to an engineering, procurement and construction agreement, under which SunEdison assumed development and construction risk. If the ultimate outcome of this case were unfavorable and no replacement permit could be obtained, the Company would therefore be able recover its investment in this project from SunEdison.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the information set forth elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors from those described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
