BASIS OF PREPARATION
The board of directors of Visual (“the Board”) presents the unaudited condensed consolidated
interim results for the six months ended 31 August 2017. The results have been prepared in
accordance with the requirements of the South African Companies Act, 71 of 2008, as
amended, the JSE Listings Requirements, as well as the framework concepts and the
recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards
(“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, including IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting. The accounting policies used in preparation of the interim results are in
terms of IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the annual financial
statements of the Group for the year ended 28 February 2017.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were compiled under the
supervision of the financial director, Mr L A Rauch CA(SA), and were not reviewed or audited
by Visual’s external auditor, Grant Thornton Cape. These interim results have been prepared
on the basis of accounting policies applicable to a going concern. This basis presumes that
funds will be available to finance future operations and that the realisation of assets and
settlement of liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments will occur in the ordinary
course of business. Any reference to future financial performance included in this
announcement, has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s auditor.
BACKGROUND AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Visual is a property developer that acquires land, rezones the land, installs the relevant services
and then constructs houses and apartments on the land for sale to homeowners or investors.
Visual focuses on the development of entire suburbs which comprises houses, apartments,
lifestyle and retirement accommodation, retail facilities, schools, offices and recreation as well
as other related facilities. With this focus Visual is able to ensure the overall quality and integrity
of the suburb. It enables Visual to supply quality residences and other facilities at affordable
prices. Furthermore, providing these combinations in a single suburb leads to job creation,
which is important to the owners and occupants.
To date, Visual has developed nearly 500 homes within Stellendale, comprising stand-alone
homes and two and three storey walk-up apartments.
With effect from 1 March 2017, Visual has acquired 31.2% of Mosegedi & Associates Proprietary
Limited (“Mosegedi”), which is involved in the development of affordable housing for both
Provinces and Government. Mosegedi is currently busy with 8 contracts in 4 provinces,
including contracts in KZN which started in August 2017.
FINANCIAL RESULTS COMMENTARY
Visual reports that the performance of the Group improved compared to the prior period.
The improved performance can be attributed to an increase in investment income and a
decrease in operating expenses and finance cost. The latter was achieved through the sale
of certain group properties and applying the proceeds towards debt repayment. The Group
also received management fees from its Mosegedi associate.
The loan to shareholder increased by the interest accrued on the loan, which loan will be
primarily settled through the transfer of land once it has been rezoned and independently
valued as stated in the Company’s prospectus on listing. This is expected during the latter part
of 2018. Any difference will be settled in cash.
Stated capital increased by R 13.7 million following the issue of shares for the acquisition of
31.2% of Mosegedi with effect from 1 March 2017.
SEGMENTAL REPORTING
The segmental information is set out below. The basis of segmentation and the measurement
of segment profit/loss is consistent with the prior period audited annual financial statements.
The Group currently has 3 reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group's
strategic business units. The strategic business units offer different services and are reviewed
by management. For each of the strategic business units, the Group's CEO reviews internal
management reports on at least a monthly basis.
The following summary describes the operations of each of the Group's reportable segments
for the period ended 31 August 2017 and 31 August 2016:
- Property Services segment - Rendering of management, administration and consulting
services on development projects
- Property Investment segment - Letting of residential properties held by the Group
- Property Development segment - Development of residential properties held by the
Group or sold to third parties.
No consulting fees were generated in the reporting period. Revenue from rentals amounted
to R15 885 (August 2016: R567 648), arising from services rendered by the Property Investment
segment.

SHARE CAPITAL AND ISSUE/ REPURCHASE OF SHARES
During the period under review, the Company issued:
- 106 000 000 shares at 13 cents per share for the acquisition of 31.2% of Mosegedi; and
- 666 667 shares at 15 cents per share to Arbitrage Investment Holdings Proprietary Limited
pursuant to a subscription agreement dated 22 November 2017.
As announced on SENS on 15 September 2017 (“Milost Facility Announcement”), Visual
entered into a funding agreement with Milost Global Inc (“Milost”) for equity and debt funding
of up to R500 000 000, which agreement is divided into two parts:
- A R150 million equity draw down facility for the subscription of shares in Visual, which will
be subscribed at a 50% premium to the 5-day volume-weighted average share price
(“VWAP”) for each draw down, which shares are expected to be issued under the
Company’s general authority to issue shares for cash; and
- A R350m convertible debt facility (“Notes Draw Down”). The conversion price of a Notes
Draw Down will be calculated at the 5-day VWAP on the business day immediately
preceding the draw down notice plus 200% on each Note Draw Down. The additional
terms of the convertible debt facility are detailed in the Milost Facility Announcement.
In the event that any of the above share issues fall outside the general authority granted to
the Board by the shareholders, or if Milost becomes a related party to Visual, shareholder
approval will be required.
The first equity draw down was received by the Company from Milost as announced on SENS
on 17 November 2017.
The Company did not repurchase any shares.
DIVIDENDS
The Company has not declared a dividend for the period ended 31 August 2017. (31 August
2016: RNil).
LITIGATION
There is no legal or arbitration proceedings, including any proceedings that are pending or
threatened, of which the Company and Group is aware that may have or have had a material
effect on the Company’s or Group’s financial position during the period other than claims by
a former and current employee in respect of remuneration. The Company has instituted
counter claims against the individuals and has made a provision to cover the claims and legal
costs.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
At the reporting date the Group does not have any contingent liabilities (2016: RNil).
RELATED PARTIES
Related parties are the same as reported in the previous period. Transactions with related
parties up until 31 August 2017 are detailed below:

GOING CONCERN
As noted above, the interim results have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies
applicable to a going concern. This basis presumes that funds will be available to finance
future operations and that the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities, contingent
obligations and commitments will occur in the ordinary course of business.
The Group’s cash flow constraints previously reported remain due to delays in being able to
generate revenue from property development and sales. However, the situation has
improved from the prior year and will continue to improve due to the Milost transaction
referred to above.
The directors have considered the operational budget and cash flow forecasts for the ensuing
year which are based on the current expected economic and market conditions and the
following events or subsequent events taking place:
a) Receipt of the first equity draw down from Milost referred to above;
b) Application for the second equity draw down from Milost has been submitted and
approved;
c) Further draw downs in terms of the Milost agreement; and
d) Visual entered into an agreement for the sale of the Stellendale Junction land, and into
a joint venture development agreement for the development of the shopping mall;
The directors believe that due to a) to d) above, the Company will have adequate financial
resources to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the directors have adopted the going
concern basis in the preparation of the interim results.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
Cancellation of Phase 2 acquisition of Mosegedi
As announced on SENS on 24 October 2017, Visual and the major shareholders of Mosegedi
have agreed not to proceed with Phase 2 of the acquisition of 18.9% of Mosegedi due to the
audit of the Mosegedi financial statements still being incomplete as a result of difficulties with
the year ended 29 February 2016 (which has a knock-on effect into the year ended
28 February 2017). Management has taken a decision to impair the full Mosegedi equity
accounted income of R1 260 495 as disclosed in the condensed statement of comprehensive
income above as well as management fees and reimbursements receivable which are
overdue.
Changes to the Board
As announced previously, Mr Leon Rauch was appointed as Financial Director of Visual with
effect from 1 October 2017, and Ms Diana Genu was appointed as a non-executive director
of Visual with effect from 23 November 2017. Mr Grant Noble resigned as a director of Visual
with effect from 3 October 2017.
Going forward, the Board will be considering the size and nature of properties held by the
Group in order to start its key development initiatives and ensure that it has sufficient cash and
funding resources to grow the Group’s property assets.
