About Renergen

Renergen is an integrated alternative and renewable energy business that invests in early stage energy projects across Africa and emerging markets. Through
our investment in Tetra4, we are the company with the first onshore petroleum production right in South Africa, and the only one with an environmental
authorisation to commence full-scale production.

COMMENTARY

Operational overview

Renergen received a positive environmental authorisation or record of decision (“RoD”) on Tetra4’s Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) by the Petroleum
Agency of South Africa (“PASA”) on 29 September 2017, a process which has taken over two years and involved multiple rounds of public participation.Tetra4
has also announced that it will become the first company to produce LNG in the country and among the first to sell LNG locally, resulting in significant financial
savings to the end-user. Gas in liquid form overcomes the challenges of size and weight of vessels to hold the gas as well as the high pressures associated with
the gas. Further to the announcement of the switch in business model from CNG to LNG, the Company has managed to secure its first off-take agreement with
SAB for a significant number of its trucks. This will help SAB in its quest to reduce carbon footprint by substituting clean LNG over diesel but will also help reduce
their cost of operation on the fleet side. We see this as the catalyst to convince other companies to become early adopters of this disruptive technology which is
growing rapidly in Europe and China.

“This agreement with SAB marks the second large scale South African trucking operation to use new age fuels. The use of LNG not only drastically reduces
carbon emissions but has the added advantage of improving the vehicle’s lifecycle maintenance and reduces the operator’s cost significantly. SAB remains a
pioneer in sustainability, and Renergen is proud to be associated with SAB in such a landmark agreement,” said Renergen CEO Stefano Marani.
MHA Petroleum Consultants LLC performed an evaluation of Tetra4 natural gas reserves. The Reserve Review performed by Venmyn Deloitte had previously
estimated the valuation of the Virginia Project at R6.6bn using 10% discount rate on 1P and 20% discount rate on 2P. MHA Petroleum Consultants report
using a blended 15% discount for 2P shows a new valuation of R8.4bn, or an increase of 27%. This increase is made up of numerous contributors, including
a more favourable oil price, a more formal evaluation of the helium reserves and USD/ZAR exchange rate. Helium reserves volumes are estimated to be
6.21 billion cubic feet on a discovered commercial basis, or 3P. The contingent resources, or 3C amount to 24.6 billion cubic feet, which now makes Tetra4’s
helium project important from a global perspective. These reserve estimates were signed off by a qualified reserves evaluator, Mr Jeffrey B. Aldrich, and are
based on assumptions including USD/ZAR of 12 and a gas sales price of ZAR 227/GJ.

Tetra4, which is the first and only South African company which holds a petroleum production licence, is now included as part of a small group of companies
that has the capacity to help South Africa become a net exporter of helium. Helium is important in the use of space exploration and high-level science and
plays an important role in the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI’s) and the manufacturing of semiconductors.

Côte d’Ivoire Hydro is a hydroelectric project managed by Mega Power Renewables (a subsidiary of Renergen) in Côte d’Ivoire (in the west of the African
continent) which reached a critical point where management had to take a decision on whether to continue to fund it or write off the investment to date. The
studies have shown that the tariff required to deliver reasonable investment returns to Renergen are above the norm, and Renergen would benefit more from
deploying that investment to developing Tetra4’s Evander gas field as well as bringing a second operation online. Management has decided not to continue
funding the Ivory Coast hydro-electric projects further and will concentrate exclusively on the South African natural gas market for the time being. Renergen
disposed of Mega Power Renewables on 23 February 2018.

Financial review

Total loss of the Group was R40.6 million (28 February 2017: R18.7 million) after taxation of R 2.4 million (28 February 2017: R6.2 million).
Major investing activities were:
• R9.6 million spent on plant, machinery and equipment on engineering of Tetra4’s Virginia operating plant expansion
• R2.8 million on a financial business system as well as integrated health, safety and environmental quality software system

The feasibility and pre-feasibility studies of the hydroelectric project in Cote d‘Ivoire, were funded by Renergen. Renergen has funded all costs incurred to
date in the form of a loan to Mega Power Renewables. The hydroelectric project of R12.2 million has been impaired as no economic benefits are expected
to be recovered.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The notes to the financial information as at 28 February 2018 are set out below:

1.     Basis of preparation
The provisional consolidated financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2018 have been prepared and presented in accordance with the
requirements of the JSE Limited (“JSE Listings Requirements”) and the requirements of the South African Companies Act 71 of 2008, as amended.
The JSE Listings Requirements require summary reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and
recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides issued by the Accounting
Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the
information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the provisional consolidated financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those
applied in the preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements of Renergen (the Group) for the year ended 28 February 2017.

The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of the provisional report. These provisional consolidated financial statements have been
prepared under the supervision of Ms FH Ravele CA(SA), the Group’s Chief Financial Officer.

Auditor’s opinion

Grant Thornton, the Group’s independent auditor, has reviewed the condensed provisional consolidated financial statements for the year ended 28
February 2018 and have issued a modified review report. The auditor’s report contained the following material uncertainty related to going concern
section:
Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to the note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements which indicates that the Group
incurred a net loss of R40.6 million for the year ended 28 February 2018. The Group currently does not have adequate cash reserves to finance its
operations and business objectives for the next 12 months. As stated in Note 15, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in
Note 16, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
The auditor's review conclusion does not necessarily cover all of the information contained in this announcement. Shareholders are therefore advised
that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the reviewer’s work they should obtain a copy of that conclusion, together with the
accompanying financial information from the registered office of the Group.

2.       Operating Segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities which may earn revenues and incur expenses and whose
operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker (Renergen Limited’s Chief Executive Officer) to allocate
resources and assess performance and for which discrete financial information is available.
The Group has the following reportable segments:

14.   Correction of error

 The following errors were noted in the financial results for comparatives. These were not considered qualitatively material and thus comparatives
 were not restated.
 •       Intangible assets as at 28 February 2017 of R76.6 million incorrectly included a ring- fenced cash reserves of R1.1 million Molopo Mineral
         Rights. This amount should have been treated as restricted cash in non-current assets. The R1.1million has been included in the restricted
         cash balance in 28 February 2018. cash reserves are administered by Lombard Insurance on behalf of the Company and are invested in
         an-interest bearing account.
 •       Tangible net asset value per share was incorrectly calculated at 8.13 cents per share. This should have been 16.07 cents per share

15.   Events after the reporting period

Additional stated capital of R10 million was raised in March 2018. Management continue to raise funding to facilitate the development of renewable
and alternative energy projects.

As per the SENS announcement dated 07 March 2018, MHA Petroleum Consultants released an independent Reserve and Resources Evaluation
Report on Tetra4’s gas reserves. The Report indicated that Tetra4’s Total Proven and probable gas reserves are valued at R8.4 billion compared to
R6.6 billion in 2017.

As per the SENS announcement dated 21 May 2018 Renergen and AB-INBEV, through their respective subsidiaries Tetra4 Proprietary Limited
(“Tetra4”) and The South African Breweries Proprietary Limited (“SAB”), concluded off-take agreements for the provision of natural gas by Tetra4 to
SAB to use in displacing diesel use in trucks (the “Agreement”).
The directors are not aware of any other material event which occurred after the reporting period and up to the date of this report.

16.   Going concern

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared assuming the Group will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realisation of
assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Group’s ability to achieve profitability is dependent
on the capital spends of proceeds raised in the capital raise. The Group intends to raise sufficient capital from its investor negotiations which took place
in May 2018 to finance its operations, business objectives and satisfaction of the Condition Precedent to the Industrial Development Corporation Loan
requiring a capital raise of R145 000 000. There is a material uncertainty in this capital raise, but Management is confident that the Company will be in
a position to draw under the loan by the end of the 2018/2019 financial year.
