Financial highlights
Hot Features
Premium
-- This is the first set of full year results presented in pounds sterling rather than Singapore dollars as a result
of the change in functional currency from 1st January 2016.
-- Group loss for the year was GBP7.3 million, a decrease of GBP9.3m on the previous year's profit. The previous
year included one off gains arising from the acquisition of Marine Current Turbines of GBP9.2m and the disposal
of 50% of our stake in Atlantis Operations Canada Limited of GBP0.9m.
-- The consolidated group cash position at 31 December 2016 was GBP10.2 million, including GBP8.6 million held at
MeyGen Limited.
-- Net assets increased to GBP66.6 million over the year from GBP57.7 million.
-- In April 2016 Atlantis raised GBP6.5 million before expenses from new and existing shareholders to fund project
development activities across the Atlantis portfolio and to secure opportunities for portfolio growth.
Operational highlights
-- In April 2016 the Group announced a partnership agreement with Equitix, a market leading developer, investor and
fund manager of infrastructure assets. Under this agreement, Atlantis and Equitix agreed to work together to
advance Atlantis's portfolio of tidal power projects in Scotland, which represent a combined potential capacity
of over 600MW.
-- In May 2016 Atlantis completed the acquisition of Scottish tidal project assets from ScottishPower Renewables
(UK) Limited ("SPR"). As a result of the transaction, Tidal Power Scotland Limited ("TPSL") acquired development
rights for an additional 110MW of projects in Scotland, and SPR became a 6% shareholder in TPSL. One of the
projects, the Sound of Islay, has previously been awarded NER300 funding of EUR21 million.
-- In June 2016 the MeyGen site was connected to the 33kV Ness of Quoys distribution network in readiness for export
of first power.
-- In August 2016 DEME Concessions NV, a member of the DEME Group, ("DEME") completed its purchase of shares in
"TPSL". DEME paid GBP2 million in cash consideration to a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantis for a 2% stake in
TPSL.
-- In November 2016 Meygen exported its first power to the grid following successful installation of all four
foundations in October.
Post period end highlights
-- In January 2017, the European Commission awarded GBP17.3 million (EUR20.3 million) in Horizon 2020 grant funding
for the next phase of the MeyGen project, Phase 1B, or Project Stroma. This funding is in addition to the
previously awarded NER300 funding of EUR17 million. Atlantis also announced the formation of a new division,
Atlantis Energy, to apply its skills and experience in complementary sectors in marine renewable energy. This
was supported by memoranda of understanding with floating wind developer Ideol and with Natural Energy Wyre, a
key player in the proposed Wyre Valley tidal barrage and flood protection scheme.
-- In February 2017 the fourth and final turbine, the Company's AR1500, was installed in Phase 1A of the MeyGen
project. The turbine reached full power output shortly afterwards and demonstrated levels of performance above
the contractual baseline required.
-- In March 2017 Atlantis signed a preferred supplier agreement with SBS INTL LTD ("SBS"), a privately-owned
international marine, subsea and renewable energy project developer, for the supply of turbines, engineering
services and equipment for a 150MW (megawatt) tidal-stream array located in Lombok, Indonesia. Atlantis also
announced its intentions to pursue projects in France, where commercial seabed leasing rounds are planned.
-- In May 2017, the Group signed a strategic partnership agreement with Hyundai Engineering and Construction Co. Ltd
for collaboration on the development of ocean power renewable projects globally, and in particular the
development of tidal stream projects in South Korea.
-- On 24 May 2017 Atlantis announced that it had raised GBP4.05 million from new and existing shareholders through
the issue of new equity.
Tim Cornelius, Chief Executive of Atlantis Resources Limited commented:
"2016 was a very significant year for the Group as we saw the realisation of over 10 years of hard work in the energisation of MeyGen Phase 1A. At the start of 2017 we were delighted to get confirmation from Ofgem that MeyGen Phase 1A has received full accreditation as a tidal generation plant, ensuring it receives five Renewables Obligation Certificates for each megawatt hour of generation.
"2016 was of course also significant for the UK as a whole, but we were reassured by confirmation that our existing sources of European public funding for UK projects would be unaffected by the decision to leave the EU. In particular, we will continue to benefit from the EUR37 million of capital and revenue support awarded to the next phase of the MeyGen project, known as Project Stroma. This preserves our opportunity to use this project to demonstrate the cost reducing innovations which are essential to allow tidal power to compete against longer established technologies. We were also buoyed by the recent announcement of the intention of the French government to launch commercial tenders for tidal power development in Normandy and Brittany, providing us with the opportunity to further geographically diversify our development pipeline in the near future.
"Whilst tidal stream remains our primary focus, we recently announced the creation of a new division, Atlantis Energy, as part of our diversification strategy. This division has had a busy start, signing agreements with partners on offshore floating wind, and tidal barrage projects. 2017 promises to be a year of technological and geographical diversity and advancement as we continue to build this part of the business alongside our latest tidal stream opportunities in France and Asia."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
This year has been another year of world firsts for the Group and tidal power, during which we have cemented our reputation as the driving force behind a growing sector. Above all our other achievements, I am delighted to be able to report the generation of first power from Phase 1A of the MeyGen project and full Ofgem accreditation, the culmination of many years of hard work and perseverance.
In June 2016, we connected to the 33kV Ness of Quoys distribution network, whichpaved the way for us to export our first power to the grid in November 2016. The connection was closely followed by our deal with Lochend Wind Energy Limited to deliver electricity to the grid whenever the MeyGen tidal project is not making full use of the available export capacity. This unprecedented arrangement further demonstrates our pioneering role in the renewables industry, combining wind energy with tidal energy to make more efficient use of existing grid assets.
The second half of 2016 was dominated by the installation of subsea equipment and the commencement of generation, with the fourth and final turbine, supplied by the Atlantis turbine and engineering services division, being installed in February 2017 and reaching full power soon afterwards. I was particularly pleased to welcome the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, to formally unveil the MeyGen project at Nigg Energy Park in Scotland in September 2016, just before the start of the foundation installation campaign.
As the year drew to a close we formalised our decision to proceed with the development for the next stage of the MeyGen project, known as Project Stroma, or Phase 1B. We have been working diligently to further refine the design of the turbines and balance of plant based on the lessons learned from Phase 1A, thus demonstrating progress to lower the cost of energy for tidal stream. This phase of the project will benefit from both EUR20.3 million of capital grant funding from Europe's Horizon 2020 programme, as well as EUR16.8 million in revenue support under the NER300 scheme.
MeyGen's success has attracted infrastructure and private finance partners from across Europe, with whom we are working to strengthen our portfolio. In April, we announced our new partnership with Equitix Limited for investment in our UK pipeline, and this was closely followed by an investment by DEME Concessions NV who acquired a 2% shareholding in Tidal Power Scotland Limited, our Scottish portfolio holding company. We also completed the sale of a 6% share in Tidal Power Scotland Limited to ScottishPower Renewables (UK) Limited, in exchange for the transfer of development rights for 110MW of further Scottish projects. Meanwhile, we were heartened by robust support from our shareholders in a GBP6.5 million capital raise in April 2016, and a further GBP4.05 million in May 2017.
We are striving harder than ever to drive down costs to ensure that our power is an attractive economic choice in the short term as well as providing a host of social and environmental benefits. We continue to make excellent progress in our ambition to provide sustainable and predictable green energy on a commercial scale, and to do so wherever there is available tidal resource. In April 2017 we signed an agreement with SBS Intl Ltd to develop a 150MW project in Indonesia, and since the end of the reporting period we have reported our active pursuit of opportunities in France and South Korea.
We are also branching out into related energy project opportunities through our new Atlantis Energy division, which allows us to make the most of our experience in developing uniquely complex projects. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have partnered with and supported Atlantis through a very
challenging year, including our shareholders and many key stakeholders, and to thank our people and my fellow directors for their continued dedication as we move into the next exciting period of delivery.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Our Annual General Meeting will be held on 29 June 2017 and the notice of the meeting accompanies this Annual Report.
I look forward to this opportunity to meet our shareholders.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT
PROFILE
The Group focuses on three core activities: power generation, project development and technology delivery. Our power generation activities are currently focused on MeyGen Phase 1A. Our project development capability has been honed through the origination, development and delivery of the MeyGen tidal stream project, and we continue to apply these skills to new opportunities in house as well as offering our specialist services to third party project owners. By targeting the early part of the project lifecycle we can maximise our opportunity to create value both for our customers and for ourselves as project owners. Our turbine and engineering services division, meanwhile, ensures we have the means to deliver our projected reductions in the cost of energy. This allows our projects and those of third party developers to remain economically viable and financially attractive to infrastructure investors and governments in the long term, against competition from other sources of renewable power production in a range of global markets.
UPDATE
2016 was a very significant year for the group as we saw the realisation of over 10 years of hard work in the energisation of MeyGen Phase 1A. It was a challenging yet rewarding journey, and through tenacity, innovation and entrepreneurship we have continued to lead the tidal power sector on the road to commercial maturity. Initial indications are that the performance of our own turbine generator, the AR1500, will exceed our expectations in terms of power curve performance and we look forward to validating these claims over the coming months. All the Phase 1A turbines are currently undergoing upgrades proposed by the turbine suppliers following an initial period of operation, and are scheduled for reinstallation in mid-2017 when they will undergo their final performance and reliability guarantee tests.
The UK's decision to leave the European Union in July 2016 was followed by the reassuring confirmation that our existing sources of European public funding for UK projects would be unaffected. In particular, we will continue to benefit from the EUR37 million of capital and revenue support awarded to the next phase of the MeyGen project, known as Project Stroma. This preserves our opportunity to use this project to demonstrate the cost reducing innovations which are essential to the future viability of tidal power as it competes against longer established technologies.
The necessity of rapid cost reduction was highlighted by the UK government's decision to withdraw ring-fenced support for marine energy, but we are nonetheless pleased to have the opportunity to compete in the 2017 allocation round for contracts for difference. This regime replaces the outgoing Renewables Obligation, under which MeyGen Phase 1A has now received full accreditation, ensuring it receives five Renewables Obligation Certificates for each megawatt hour of generation.
Whilst tidal stream remains our primary focus, we've also announced the creation of a new division, Atlantis Energy, through which we can apply our origination and development expertise to energy projects in related areas. We offer these skills to third party project owners as well as putting them to work to identify opportunities for broadening our own portfolio. We've already signed up an agreement with Ideol, a leading developer of offshore floating foundation solutions, and we're working with Natural Energy Wyre to progress the Wyre tidal barrage project on the Lancashire coast in England. 2017 promises to be a year of technological and geographical diversity as we continue to build this part of the business alongside our latest tidal stream opportunities in France and Asia.
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
As a result of the relocation of the Group's corporate headquarters from Singapore to Edinburgh, the Group's presentational currency changed from Singapore dollar to Great British pounds ("GBP"), effective 1 January 2016. All comparative figures have been restated and are also presented in GBP.
For the year ended 31 December 2016, the Group recorded a post tax loss of GBP7.3m, a decrease of GBP9.3m on the prior year profit. The prior year included one off gains arising from the acquisition of Marine Current Turbines ("MCT") of GBP9.2m and the disposal of 50% of our stake in Atlantis Operations Canada Limited ("AOC") of GBP0.9m.
Revenue from consulting services was GBP0.2m, down from GBP1.4m in the previous year as a result of the completion of the final design phase of our contract with Energy Technologies Institute ("ETI"). The completion of this phase of the ETI project also contributed towards lower costs during the year.
Total expenses for the year were GBP9.1m, a reduction on the prior year of GBP2.9m. Prior year expenses included an impairment charge of GBP1.9m, primarily on the AR1000 turbine, which was considered to be obsolete. Further cost reductions were realised in Research and Development costs and subcontractor costs, as noted above.
Other gains were GBP2.8m which, when excluding the one off items noted above relating to MCT and AOC, were down GBP0.4m on the prior year. The MCT acquisition in 2015 resulted in a bargain purchase gain, mainly in respect of the fair value of turbine technology and seabed options, while the AOC disposal resulted in a re-measurement gain on the remaining 50% held by the Group.
The Group's net assets increased during the year by GBP8.9m to GBP66.6m. In April 2016, the Group raised approximately GBP6.5m through a successful share issue. In return for a 6% stake in the Group's project development company, Tidal Power Scotland Limited ("TPSL"), we acquired additional seabed options from Scottish Power Renewables worth GBP6.6m. Further, DEME Group took an additional 2% stake in TPSL in consideration for GBP2m cash. The Group retains a 92% interest in TPSL. Finally, Scottish Enterprise made a further GBP1.3m equity injection to MeyGen Holdings Limited ("MGHL"), increasing their shareholding to 16.55%. The Group retains the remaining 83.45% interest in MGHL.
