Report of Independent Auditors
The Members
Panhandle Wind Holdings LLC
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Panhandle Wind Holdings LLC (the Company), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in members’ capital, and cash flow for the period from March 1, 2013, the date of inception, to December 31, 2013, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Panhandle Wind Holdings LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
1. Business
Panhandle Wind Holdings LLC (Panhandle Wind Holdings or the Company), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on March 1, 2013. Panhandle Wind Holdings is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pattern Renewables LP (Pattern Renewables), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pattern Energy Group LP (Pattern Development). Pattern Renewables contributed net assets with a carrying value of approximately $0.2 million for membership interest in the Company and its subsidiaries. As this transaction was between entities under common control, the transaction was recorded at historical carrying value. Panhandle Wind Holdings owns 100% of Panhandle B Holdco LLC, which owns 100% of Panhandle B Member LLC, which owns 99% of the membership interests of Pattern Panhandle Wind LLC (Panhandle Wind). Panhandle Alternate B Member LLC, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Pattern Development, owns the remaining 1% of the membership interests of Panhandle Wind. Pattern Renewables and Panhandle Alternate B Member LLC are collectively referred to as the Members.
Panhandle Wind is constructing a 218 megawatt (MW) (unaudited) capacity wind electricity generating plant (the Facility), which utilizes 118 General Electric Company (GE) turbines (unaudited). The Facility is expected to commence full commercial operations in the second quarter of 2014 (COD). The Facility will deliver 100% of the electricity it generates into the Texas wholesale spot market managed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) of which approximately 77% of the expected electricity output will be sold to Citigroup Energy Inc. (Citigroup Energy) under a physical power sales agreement (the Electricity Sales Agreement) for a term of approximately 13 years, which commences on November 1, 2014. Any additional electricity produced will be sold to ERCOT at spot market prices. The Electricity Sales Agreement requires that electricity be delivered at specified hourly levels at a fixed price and at a delivery location separate from the Facility’s interconnection point. Prior to November 1, 2014, the Facility will sell its electricity to ERCOT at spot market prices.
The Members shall not be required to make additional capital contributions, or have any personal liability with respect to the liabilities or the obligations of the Company.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented using United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). Upon consolidation, all intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The preparation of U.S. GAAP basis consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and to disclose contingent assets

Panhandle Wind Holdings LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Because the use of estimates is inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company has no items of other comprehensive income and, therefore, net loss and net and comprehensive loss are equal.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests represent that portion of net assets in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to Panhandle Wind Holdings. Panhandle Wind Holdings indirectly owns 99% of Panhandle Wind, with Panhandle Alternate B Member LLC owning the remaining 1% of Panhandle Wind. The Company consolidates Panhandle Wind and allocates its earnings based on the equity ownership percent, and presents Panhandle Alternate B Member LLC as a noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality institutions.
Deferred Financing Costs
Financing costs incurred in connection with obtaining construction and term financing are deferred and amortized over the lives of the respective loans using the effective-interest method. Amortization of deferred financing costs is capitalized to construction in progress prior to COD and recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss following COD.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Turbine Advances
Turbine advances represent amounts advanced to the turbine supplier for the manufacture of wind turbines in accordance with the turbine supply agreement and for which the Company has not taken title. Turbine advances are reclassified to construction in progress when the Company takes legal title to the related turbines and are reclassified to property, plant and equipment when the Facility achieves commercial operations. Depreciation does not commence until the project enters commercial operations and the Facility is placed in service.
Construction in Progress
Construction in progress represents the accumulated costs of projects in construction. Construction costs include turbines for which the Company has taken legal title, civil engineering, electrical and other related costs. Other capitalized costs include reclassified deferred development costs, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of deferred financing costs, capitalized interest and other costs required to place a project into commercial operations. Construction in progress is reclassified to property, plant and equipment when the project begins commercial operations.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company records an asset retirement obligation for the estimated cost of decommissioning the turbines, removing above-ground installations, and restoring the site at a date that is 20 years from the COD.
Income Taxes
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect no provision or liability for income taxes because profits and losses of the Company are allocated to the Members and are includable in the income tax return of the Members.
Income and losses for tax purposes may differ from the consolidated financial statement amounts and the Members’ capital reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements does not necessarily represent the Members’ tax basis.
Revenue Recognition
The Facility will sell the electricity it generates to Citigroup Energy under the terms of the Electricity Sales Agreement, and to ERCOT. Revenue will be recognized as electricity is delivered.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments (including such items in the consolidated financial statement captions as cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, accrued construction costs and asset retirement obligation) approximate their carrying or contract values based on their nature and terms. The Company’s debt is variable rate, and its carrying value approximates fair value.

6. Debt
On August 19, 2013, the Company entered into a $310.7 million construction loan financing agreement which includes a $219.3 million construction loan (the Loan), $71.0 million in letters of credit in favor of Citigroup Energy under the Electricity Sales Agreement until COD, and a $20.4 million letter of credit which will be outstanding until COD in favor of the transmission company related to construction of the interconnection of the Facility to the ERCOT system.
The Loan is a variable rate loan, and the Company’s interest rate at December 31, 2013 is 2.25% based on the LIBO rate in effect at December 31, 2013 plus a margin of 2.0%. The Company pays a 2.0% letter of credit fee on the outstanding portion of the letters of credit. As of December 31, 2013, $91.5 million of letters of credit have been issued. For the period ended December 31, 2013, the Company has incurred a total of $1.6 million in interest expense and letter of credit fees, of which $1.1 million has been capitalized to construction in progress on the consolidated statement of financial position and, of which, $0.5 million has been recorded in interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
For the period ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred a total of $11.2 million in deferred financing costs. The Company amortized a total of $3.7 million for the period ended December 31, 2013, of which $2.8 million has been capitalized to construction in progress on the consolidated statement of financial position and, of which, $0.9 million has been recorded in interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Loan and the letters of credit all have a maturity date that is the earlier of December 1, 2014 or a date that is four months after the substantial completion date, or the Equity Contribution Date as discussed in Note 11, Members’ Capital.
Collateral for the Loan includes the Facility, the Company’s other assets, its contractual rights, and cash or letters of credit on deposit with the depository agent as well as the shares of Panhandle Wind.
In August 2013, the Company entered into a financing agreement for $23.5 million (the Back Leverage Loan) with a term of seven and a quarter years from the funding date, which is anticipated to be drawn at the time of the repayment of the Loan and the Equity Contribution Date assuming all conditions precedent, as defined in the Back Leverage Loan, are met by the Company. The Back Leverage Loan is a variable rate loan and will incur interest at LIBO plus 3.25% for the first three years, 3.50% for years four through six, and 3.75% for the remainder of the term of the loan. Under the terms of the Back Leverage Loan, principal and interest will be paid quarterly, with the first interest payment scheduled for September 30, 2014 and the first principal payment being June 30, 2015.

Panhandle Wind Holdings LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
6. Debt (continued)
The Company must maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 1.25, as defined in the Back Leverage Loan, and be in compliance with other covenants described in the Back Leverage Loan in order to make distributions to the Members should the Back Leverage Loan be drawn by the Company.
7. Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company’s asset retirement obligation is the estimated cost of decommissioning the turbines, removing above-ground installations, and restoring the site at a date that is 20 years from the COD.
Activity in this liability account through December 31, 2013 was as follows (in thousands):

8. Risk Management
The Company’s Facility is located in an area of Texas that is subject to tornados, and it could potentially be subject to damages from these natural events. To mitigate the risk, the Company maintains property damage insurance coverage, which it believes is adequate.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
Panhandle Wind entered into the Electricity Sales Agreement with Citigroup Energy. The Facility will deliver 100% of the electricity it generates into the Texas wholesale spot market managed by ERCOT of which approximately 77% of the expected electricity output will be sold to Citigroup Energy under the Electricity Sales Agreement for a term of approximately 13 years, which commences on November 1, 2014. Any additional electricity produced will be sold to ERCOT at spot market prices. The Electricity Sales Agreement requires that electricity be delivered at specified hourly levels at a fixed price, and at a delivery location separate from the Facility’s interconnection point. Prior to November 1, 2014, the Facility will sell its power to ERCOT at spot prices.

9. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
Under the terms of the Electricity Sales Agreement, should Panhandle Wind’s net revenue fall short of the specified monthly delivery quantities at the fixed electricity price for a monthly period, the Company will be able to borrow such shortfall from Citigroup Energy up to a cumulative amount of $20.0 million. In addition, should Panhandle Wind’s net revenue be in excess of the specified monthly delivery quantities at the fixed electricity price for a monthly period, such excess will be first used to repay any amounts borrowed from Citigroup Energy and then to fund a restricted cash collateral account up to a maximum amount of $5.0 million.
As collateral for the Electricity Sales Agreement, Citigroup Inc. has issued a guarantee to the Company to guaranty Citigroup Energy’s performance under the Electricity Sales Agreement. In addition, the Company has pledged the Facility and Panhandle Wind’s other assets, its contractual rights, and cash as collateral for its performance under the Electricity Sales Agreement after COD and has provided $71.0 million of letters for credit to Citigroup Energy until COD.
Panhandle Wind entered into an agreement for the supply of 118 GE wind turbine generators and other specified equipment for the construction of the Facility. Panhandle Wind entered into an agreement for the assembly and erection of the wind turbine generators and construction of the Facility, including the procurement of the materials and other equipment necessary to complete the construction of the Facility. Our remaining total commitments on these contracts are $64.5 million.
Panhandle Wind has entered into an agreement with an affiliate of GE to provide turbine maintenance service after COD. The contract includes a total base price of $32.5 million and includes provisions for bonus and liquidated damage payments based on specified availability and performance measures. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has not incurred any cost under this agreement.
Panhandle Wind entered into an interconnection agreement (the Interconnection Agreement) with Cross Texas Transmission, LLC (Cross Texas Transmission) for the interconnection of the Facility to ERCOT. Under the terms of the Interconnection Agreement, Cross Texas Transmission is required to design and construct the interconnection facility according to the specifications of the Interconnection Agreement. The Company was required to post a letter of credit of approximately $20.4 million in favor of Cross Texas Transmission to cover their construction costs under the Interconnection Agreement if the Company has not achieved commercial operation of the power plant within one year after the scheduled COD.
Panhandle Wind entered into land easements for the land where the wind farm is located. The easements have a term of 40 years from 2014. Under the terms of the easements, the Company pays the landowners minimum rent payments totaling approximately $0.5 million per year. If during the term, the royalty payments exceed the minimum rent payments, the Company shall

pay such excess to landowner as additional rent. The royalty payments consist of 4% of revenues for the first 10 years of the operation period, 5% of revenues for years 11 through 20, and 6% of revenues for each subsequent year.
The future minimum annual payments required for the easements at December 31, 2013, were as follows (in thousands):
