Executive Summary TOTAL South Africa (Proprietary) Limited ( TSA ) submits its 213 petroleum storage and loading tariff application in terms of section 28(2) of the Petroleum Pipelines Act, 23( Act No. 6 of 23). This tariff application has been guided by: National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) Tariff Methodology for the Approval of Tariffs for Petroleum Loading Facilities and Petroleum Storage Facilities (2 nd edition) approved on the 31 st of March 211 (the tariff methodology); NERSA s Guidelines for Annual Assessment of Storage and Loading Facilities Tariff Applications Version 9 July 213; and Correspondence between NERSA and TSA. This tariff application has been prepared in respect of 8 in scope active licensed storage and loading facilities and 2 closed licensed facilities, through the Republic of South Africa which are operated by TSA. The information utilised for the tariff calculation was obtained from the audited financial statements for the period to 31 December 212, and the budgeted figures for 213. Information was extrapolated in respect of the in scope facilities based on forecasted volume. All information utilised in this application is true and correct at time of preparation (refer to Annexure E - Section E: Solemn declaration). The Regulatory Asset Base (RAB) for the application was determined by applying the Trended Original Cost (TOC) to all operating and related assets at storage and loading facilities. Zero based assets were revalued and useful lives were reassessed. Assets that will be brought into use during the tariff period were included on a pro rata basis. Tariff Application 213 3

TSA applies for the following 213 tariffs for in scope storage and loading facilities: Table 2: Maximum tariff per in scope facility excluding of VAT (value added tax) Trading name Maximum tarrif (cpl) Alrode 12.99 Bethlehem 24.77 East London 22.5 Island View Terminal 13.27 Nelspruit 19.52 Ohrigstad 25.45 Polokwane 18.26 Waltloo 1.61 Sannieshof Pietermaritzburg The following variables were applied in respect of this tariff application and are addressed in this document: Table 3: Assumption variables Assumption variable Value Source Inflation (CPI) - December 212 5.7% Statistics South Africa Forecasted mean 213 CPI 5.6% NERSA Real risk Free rate of interest (Rf) 4.49% NERSA economic data as at 31 December 211 Market Risk Premium (MRP post tax real) 4.68% NERSA economic data as at 31 December 211 interest rate % Real cost of equity after tax (Ke) % Refer to calculation in document Real cost of debt after tax (Kd) % Refer to calculation in document Real WACC % Refer to calculation in document 3.

Existing customers were moved to surrounding storage and loading facilities. The above sites are not currently viable due to volumes but licenses will be retained due to location of the facilities. There are ongoing discussions with the BEE 3 rd parties to lease the facilities in Pietermaritzburg Tariff Application 213 7

5. Approach Section 28 (2) of the Petroleum Pipelines Act, 23 (Act No.6 f 23) requires that tariffs must be: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) Based on a systematic methodology applicable on a consistent and comparable basis; Fair; Non-discriminatory; Simple and transparent; Predictable and stable; and Such as to promote access to affordable petroleum products. Further, Section 28 (3) of that Act requires that: The tariffs set or approved by the Authority must enable the licensee to: (a) Recover the investment; (b) Operate and maintain the system; and (c) Make a profit commensurate with the risk. Allowable Revenue has been determined by applying the allowable revenue formula as per the tariff methodology: AR = (RAB x WACC) + E + D ± C+ T Where: AR = Allowable revenue RAB = Regulatory asset base WACC = Weighted average cost of capital E = Expenses: operating and maintenance expenses for the tariff period under review D = Depreciation and amortisation of inflation write-up: the charge for the tariff period under review C = Clawback adjustment: to correct for differences between actuals and forecasts in formula elements from a preceding tariff period in relation to the actual estimates for that tariff period. T = Tax: estimated tax expense for the tariff period under review 6. Regulatory Asset Base (RAB) According to the tariff methodology, TSA have calculated the inflation adjusted TOC of all operating and related assets at storage and loading facilities less accumulated depreciation. The assets included were only assets that are in use and usable to operate the facility. Tariff Application 213 8

The following formula was used as per the methodology: RAB = (V d) + w ± dtax Where: V = Value of operating property, plant, vehicles and equipment d = Accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortisation of inflation write-up for the period up to the commencement of the tariff period under review w = Net working capital dtax = Deferred tax Assets in use that are carried at zero book value have been restated to reflect residual value based on indexed historical cost. A pro rata portion of new or additional assets anticipated to be brought into use during the period that this application relates too, have been included in the RAB. Table 6: Pro rata portion of fixed asset additions Summary Amount Alrode Bethlehem East London Island View Terminal Nelspruit Ohrigstad Polokwane Waltloo Sannieshof Pietermaritzburg Total Depreciation rates are aligned with the expected useful lives of the assets. The historical consumer price index (CPI) data has been obtained from Statistics South Africa and NERSA up to December 212. Projected CPI figures have been obtained from Statistics South Africa. The annual average CPI of 5.6% for 213 has been applied to the net book value of all assets included in property, plant vehicles and equipment for the 213 tariff application.

Net Working Capital (W) Net working capital is included in the RAB and is calculated according to the formula provided in the methodology which is as follows: Net working capital = inventory + receivables + operating cash + minimum cash balance trade payables The components are recognised as follows: Inventory is based on the volumes of stock at the facilities as at December 212 and the prevailing basic fuel price (BFP) at December 212. The BFP calculated (R7.6 per litre) was compared to the published BFP for the corresponding period for reasonableness. Trade receivables directly linked to the depots are only in respect of co-hosting agreements relating to the Alrode, Bethlehem, East London, Island View Terminal and Nelspruit depots. The income earned is based on volume throughput (cpl). TSA s general terms for payment of accounts is 3 days thus trade payables have been calculated as 3 days of operating expenses. Operating cash requirements were calculated as 45 days of operating expenses in respect of the in scope facilities. Tariff Application 213 1

Deferred Tax TSA has adopted the national tax approach as discussed in section 9 of this application. Timing differences occurred when the useful life for accounting and tax purposes differs for an asset. The deferred taxation liabilities have been deducted from the RAB. 7. Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) The allowed rate of return was calculated by using the expected efficient WACC. A single WACC was calculated as TSA reports on a company basis. The average cost of debt is calculated in line with NERSA s calculation of this parameter as is the cost of equity by applying the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). The WACC formula is: WACC = [(Eq/Dt + Eq)*Ke]+[(Dt/Dt+Eq)*Kd] Where: Eq = Shareholders equity Dt = Interest bearing debt Ke = Real cost of equity derived from the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) Kd = Post tax, real cost of debt Tariff Application 213 11

7.1 Cost of Equity (Ke) As per the methodology, the cost of equity was determined accordingly to the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) in real terms: Ke = (Rf +CRA) + (MRP * β) + SSP+ α+lp Where: Ke = Post-tax, real cost of equity Rf = Real risk free rate of interest This is the average of the real monthly marked-to-market risk free rate for the preceding 3 months for all government bonds with at least a 1 year maturity as at twelve months before the commencement of the tariff period under review CRA = Country risk adjustment. The real CRA will be added to risk free rate. The CRA is for assets in another country outside South Africa that are an integral part of the same assets within South Africa. The adjustment is for that other country concerned MRP = Post-tax, real market risk premium The proxy used for the market is the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) All Share Total Return Index (ALSI) for the preceding 3 months as at twelve months before the commencement of the tariff period under review β = Beta is the systematic risk parameter for regulated entities providing pipeline, storage and loading facility services. The licensee will propose a beta, along with details of proxies used and its calculation of the proposed beta. The Energy Regulator will approve an appropriate beta SSP = Small Stock Premium α = Project specific risk if the circumstances warrant such an adjustment LP = Liquidity premium to accommodate companies which are not publicly traded if the circumstances warrant such an adjustment An average shareholders equity of R3 91 993 and long term interest bearing debt of R1,5 million based on the 212 audited balance sheet and the statutory accounts as at 31 December 212, was used to calculate a 27.7% debt to equity ratio. Tariff Application 213 12

The forecasted CPI for 213 as published by NERSA is 5.6%, resulting in a real post-tax cost of debt of.%. Kd post - tax,nominal = [1+ (Kd pre tax,nom * (1- t))]/[1+cpif] - 1 Where: Kd pre-tax,nominal = Projected cost of debt, pre-tax, nominal, for the tariff period under review t = Prevailing corporate tax rate of the licensee CPIf = Consumer price index forecast: most recent forecast for the tariff period under review Table 1: Real cost of debt after tax Description Rate Comment Prime interest rate (PIR) % Prevailing PIR rate as per the South African Reserve Bank Tax rate (t) 28% Per financials Post tax nominal Kd (effective Kd) % CPI forecast (CPIf) 5.6% Obtained from 'CPI forecasts for be applied by NERSA in tariff decisions made in 212' Cost of debt (Kd after tax, real) % Tariff Application 213 13

7.3 WACC Calculation The cost of equity is %, and the cost of debt is %, which results in a real WACC of 5.9% for TSA. TSA s actual interest bearing debt is R and the equity pertaining to the regulated assets for the tariff period under review is R which equates to a % debt to equity ratio.

Expenses Operational and Maintenance (E) Expenses include only those operating expenses required for the efficient operation and maintenance required in relation to storage and loading of in scope license facility. The TSA budget 213 process is a bottom-up approach and was determined taking the following into consideration: Variable and fixed expenses for the whole year were derived from the trend experienced during the first part of 212. The 213 budget is in line with the TSA long term plan. Expected volumes for 213 is derived from expecting results for 212 and take into account the objectives and action plans for the following year. 8.1 Direct Expenses Direct expense categories relate to the following expense types: Personnel expenses consists of: Wages and salaries Payroll charges Training Tariff Application 213 14

Approximately 1% of Head Office expenses were attributable to in scope facilities based on the head count of staff at these locations compared to the total staff complement. The Logistics department expenses were allocated per the support provided to the storage and loading facilities. The combined indirect expense was then allocated to the in scope storage and loading facilities based on the forecasted volumes for 213. Tariff Application 213 15

Depreciation and Amortisation of Inflation Write-up (D) Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the useful lives of the assets as per the methodology. Depreciation commences when the asset is available for use. Assets carried at zero book value but still being used has been restated. The cumulative residual between the indexed historical cost and the actual cumulative depreciation charge to date has formed part of the RAB and is being depreciation over the future expected useful life of these assets. All items are derecognised upon disposal or when no further economic benefits are expected to arise.
