Commentary

Nature of business
Calgro M3 is a property and property-related investment company that is a market leader in the 
development of Integrated Residential Developments, Residential Rental Investments and the 
development and management of Memorial Parks.

Background to impacts on the business
The period under review was one of the most difficult ever experienced due to:
(1) Macro and micro economic uncertainty coupled with uncertainty pertaining to land expropriation;
(2) Scottsdene and Fleurhof projects being shut down as a result of 'illegal occupation' with 
    additional security and repair cost amounting to approximately R65.2 million;
(3) Major electrification challenges on Fleurhof which resulted in standing time cost of roughly 
    R14.5 million;
(4) Impact of the adoption of IFRS 15;
(5) Drought in the Western Cape; and
(6) Cancellation of the executive share scheme and corresponding fast-tracked expense of 
    R44.0 million.

A variation order of R93.3 million was received on Fleurhof that slightly offset the impact of 
the above.

The above challenges had a negative impact on our operational cash flow, leading to the 
deliberate slowdown in levels of activity on other sites.

Despite all of these uncertainties and challenges, management has worked tirelessly to ensure that 
the Company has:
- A healthy balance sheet;
- 10 projects in the ground at various phases; and
- Expanded its Memorial Parks business.

It is important to note that neither the accounting change for revenue recognition (based on the 
principles of IFRS 15), nor the various current short-term challenges in the operational 
environment have a long-term impact on the underlying fundamentals of the business or any of its 
integrated development projects.

Value
Management's assessment on the net tangible asset value of R3.6 billion, excluding approximately 
600 000 m2 bulk retail, commercial and industrial properties across the portfolio (see page 6 of 
the Integrated Annual Report 2018 available on the website: http://www.calgrom3.com), has not changed and 
is not affected by the IFRS 15 adjustment.

Our medium to long-term commitment to shareholders
Management strategically aligned the Group to ensure we remain committed to the targeted return on 
equity ('ROE') of 30% over the medium term. Our commitment is based on the following:
- Residential Property Development pipeline of R25.3 billion with a targeted ROE of 30%;
- Memorial Parks pipeline increasing to R2.2 billion with a targeted ROE > 30%; and
- Real Estate Investment ('REIT') with a targeted ROE of 20.5% (annual rental yield plus revaluation 
  growth) on an estimated Group equity investment of R4 billion.
                                                                                             
Operational review
Residential Property Developments
The development business has 10 projects in the ground, contributing to revenue which has made the 
impact of delays more manageable. 3 377 units were under construction during the period, while 
1 843 units (of which 934 are fully subsidised) were handed over.

With in excess of 8 000 serviced opportunities (refer to table on page 4), the Group remains well 
positioned to assist Government in the eradication of the housing backlog in times when Governmental 
budget is available.

Our variable cost model, adopted by our projects, was thoroughly tested during this period where 
certain sites had to be temporarily closed as a result of the challenges that were experienced. 
The temporary closure of sites is accompanied by practical execution challenges such as securing a 
site that is geographically widely spread out. The implementation of the required actions are far 
more complex and costlier than originally anticipated. Terminating sub-contractor employment in times 
when employment is scarce, and unemployment is on the rise, was disconcerting and morally challenging 
to say the least. Even though the scaling back of the variable costing model was not as efficient as 
management would have liked, lessons were learnt which will ensure that similar actions would be much 
more systematic and efficient in future.

The primary areas of focus for the Property Development Business remains the roll-out of the existing 
pipeline, capitalising on the private sector sales drive, enhancing the product offering, while at the 
same time remaining focused on improving efficiencies. Despite challenges, the Group remains 
strategically positioned to ensure risk is optimally mitigated and managed in these uncertain times, 
which creates a solid foundation for future growth.

Memorial Parks
The Memorial Parks business' sales continued to grow on a monthly basis with 649 grave and niche 
sales being achieved for the six months under review, compared to 947 for the whole of the 
previous financial year. Instalment sales were also made during the period, but is only 
recognised as a sale (and revenue) once the full purchase price is received from the customer. 
The target for this business for the second six months is to grow sales with a further 
80% to 100%.

The national roll-out plan is advancing rapidly, through the acquisition of the Durbanville 
Memorial Park in Cape Town on 1 March 2018 and the Avalon Memorial Park in Bloemfontein on 
1 June 2018. The Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal are targeted provinces for expansion, planned 
for early in the 2020 financial year. 

Residential Rental Investments
696 units were handed over to the Afhco Calgro M3 Consortium (REIT JV) during the past 
six months. Rental take-up has been slower than expected but is increasing steadily. Management 
is still confident that its targeted 10.5% rental yield and 6% capital growth, that gives rise 
to a 10% capital growth on equity, will be achieved as can be seen under the financial section 
below. Calgro M3 remains confident in the rental market and believes the affordable rental 
market has immense potential.

This rental market strategy further assists Government in eradicating the housing backlog 
without exposing the Group to diminishing public sector spending.

The first 40 of 480 units that were acquired from an external developer were handed over to the 
REIT JV on 15 October 2018. In view of the slow rental uptake referred to above, the hand-over 
pace of these units was re-negotiated and extended by a further six months to ensure an effective 
tenanting process. The units will be geared to 60% with no additional cash equity contribution 
required by Calgro M3. The Group already has sufficient equity into the development to ensure that 
there is no additional equity contribution required.

Financial review
The financial results for the six-month period ended 31 August 2018 was overwhelmed with several 
operational challenges and transactions, coupled with changes in accounting standards (outlined in 
the transitional report published on 27 September 2018). This makes a direct comparison between 
periods extremely difficult. Please refer to note 3 for details on the effect of the changes in 
accounting standards.

Statement of comprehensive income
As detailed in the transitional report, IFRS 15 impacted the method and timing of revenue 
recognition. Revenue comparison between periods presented should, not be performed as the Group has 
elected not to restate the comparative information as permitted by IFRS 15. Accordingly, the impact 
of IFRS 15 has been applied using the modified retrospective restatement method allowed under the 
standard resulting in an adjustment to the Group's opening retained earnings on 1 March 2018. 
Therefore, comparative information on revenue will not be amended for the impact of IFRS 15. 
Please refer to note 3 for revenue comparison between the different accounting standards.

Unrealised profit
The Group's financial performance was impacted by the construction of units for the REIT JV, in 
which Calgro M3 has a 49% shareholding. This shareholding resulted in 49% of the development profit
(construction and other services) being eliminated on consolidation as an unrealised profit, as 
prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'). This unrealised profit is 
carried on the balance sheet until realised in future financial years, once the units are completed, 
tenanted and the portfolio is revalued.

The impact of this unrealised profit on the financial performance necessitated the institution of 
new metrics to measure operational performance between reporting periods. This further provides an 
indication of performance which is then consistent between periods. The three pertinent metrics are 
described as:
- Core earnings per share ('Core EPS') - Earnings per share before elimination of unrealised profits
  from development of units for the REIT JV;
- Core headline earnings per share ('Core HEPS') - Headline earnings per share before elimination of
  unrealised profits from development of units for the REIT JV; and
- Core operating profit - Operating profit before elimination of unrealised profits from development 
  of units for the REIT JV.
  
If revenue was accounted for under the previous accounting standards, revenue would have been
R657.0 million, resulting in a 34.95% decrease from the R1.010 billion reported in the previous 
period. Combined revenue (under the previous accounting standards) decreased by 37.4% to 
R815.7 million (August 2017: R1.3 billion) due to the slowdown in operations as outlined in the 
operational update above.

The main contributing projects to combined revenue were South Hills at 45.9% (August 2017: 38.5%), 
Belhar at 8.5% (August 2017: 14.7%) and Fleurhof at 31.1% (August 2017: 20.8%).

The illegal invasion and occupation of units in Fleurhof and Scottsdene resulted in extensive damage 
and extraordinary high security costs incurred in order to secure the units. These costs 
(approximately R65.2 million) were expensed or provided for in the period under review. Insurance 
and related claims were submitted and will be accounted for once confirmation or approval on the 
amount and timing is received. Total claims submitted are:
- Fleurhof - R36.3 million
- Scottsdene - R21.0 million

In response to the negative impact of the adoption of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 on the net debt/equity 
ratio, and the impact that this increased ratio has on the Group's future gearing ability, the 
participants of the Executive Share Scheme unanimously agreed to forfeit the scheme (even though it 
is deeply in the money) in the 2019 financial year to enhance the equity of the Group through the 
reversal of the share-based payment reserve to retained earnings. The cancellation of the scheme 
resulted in the remaining expense on the scheme being fast-tracked through profit and loss in the 
current year, increasing administrative expenses.

The share-based payment reserve of R118 million, after the acceleration of the expense 
(February 2018: R74.1 million) was reversed to retained income after the cancellation of the scheme.

The additional increase in administrative expenses of 55.51% from the previous period is due to an 
increase in:
- Marketing and advertising* - 55.82% (increase from R5.2 million to R8.1 million), being in line 
  with the strategy to increase open market residential and Memorial Park sales;
- Salaries and wages - 25.0% (increase from R22.3 million to R27.9 million) - Increased staff 
  capacity which includes additional senior management and professional appointments, health, safety 
  and environmental staff as well as site-based employees. Capacity building began in September 2017, 
  leaving a mismatch between periods. Revenue has not yet evidenced a corresponding increase, due to 
  the primary focus being placed on systems and efficiencies.
- Professional fees - 303.31% (increase from R1.6 million to R6.6 million) arising from professional 
  capacity created to assist with project management mentoring, land invasions as well as an 
  electrical specialist for Fleurhof.
  
Finance income continued to increase as a result of the increase in debtors and shareholder loan 
balances (on which interest is being earned) on the South Hills, Witpoortjie and Tanganani projects, 
which are all accounted for as joint ventures ('JVs') within the Group. Finance income is also 
earned on the loan to the Afhco Calgro M3 Consortium. The increase in the loan balance by 
R147.1 million to R249.4 million (February 2018: R102.3 million) represents the Group's equity 
contribution that will convert to equity before the end of the 2019 financial year. This is for the 
units completed and handed over to the REIT JV during the period.

The share of profit of joint ventures and associates is mainly attributable to the South Hills joint 
venture. This profit recognition was also impacted by IFRS  15 within the joint venture itself. The 
total equity accounted profit on 1 March 2018 (once IFRS 15 opening balance adjustments were made), 
was a mere R249 683. Total profit after tax in South Hills at 31 August 2018 was R26.4 million, of 
which the Group accounted 42.5%, being R8.6 million after the elimination of unrealised profit. 
Outstanding debtor balances to South Hills were settled after 31 August 2018.

The South Hills project now has a total of 222 affordable units, 536 GAP/FLISP and 612 fully 
subsidised opportunities available where services are fully installed.

The finance cost expense has increased largely due to increased working capital requirements and the 
cessation of interest capitalisation on Memorial Parks.

Basic earnings per share ('EPS') decreased by 50.16% to 23.78 cps (August 2017: 47.71 cps). 
Similarly, headline earnings per share ('HEPS') decreased by 93.48% to 3.11 cps (August 2017: 
47.71 cps). The new metrics introduced in the prior financial year provide additional information on 
the Group's performance. Core earnings per share ('Core EPS') decreased by 82.62% to 13.40 cps 
(August 2017: 77.10 cps), and core headline earnings per share ('Core HEPS') decreased by 109.43% to 
-7.27 cps (August 2017: 77.10 cps).

* Calgro M3 is still receiving 100% bonds from all the major banks but tightening on credit criteria 
  is influencing the approval and conversion rate.

The earnings on the residential rental investments is split between the interest received and equity 
accounting due to the shareholder loan that has not yet been converted to equity.

Statement of financial position
The Group acquired the Durbanville Memorial Park in Cape Town and the Avalon Memorial Park in 
Bloemfontein in the past six months. The acquisitions resulted in an increase in investment property, 
property, plant and equipment, investments (not for profit company/restricted investments), 
inventories and trade and other payables.

The restricted investment is the cash investment in a fully registered non-profit organisation 
('NPO'), specifically created to ensure the in-perpetuity maintenance of the Durbanville Memorial 
Park and can only be utilised for this purpose. The Group is currently exploring amending the purpose 
of the NPO vehicle and converting it into a vehicle to attend to the in-perpetuity maintenance of all 
the Memorial Parks across the Group. More information will be provided once the Group has completed 
its investigation.

The Group acquired the remaining shareholding from the minority shareholder in Nasrec Memorial Park 
(36.5% shareholding) for R63.6 million during this interim period. R15.9 million has been paid and 
the remaining balance, which carries no interest, will be settled over the next three years in equal 
annual instalments.

The Group secured R109 million as a second tranche of international funding in June 2018, from 
Societe De Promotion Et De Participation Pour La Coop�ration Economique ('Proparco') S.A, a 
subsidiary of Agence Fran�aise De D�veloppement ('AFD'). The balance of the facility was received 
after certain international environmental and health and safety compliance requirements were 
successfully achieved.

The net debt to equity ratio increased to 1.16 (February 2018: 0.75). The increase is mainly 
attributable to the changes in opening retained earnings as a result of the IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 
adoption that is detailed in the transitional report and the financial section of this report.
The ratio further increased due to increased debt levels, the acquisition of the minority stake 
in Nasrec Memorial Park and a cash balance that declined from year-end. This ratio is still below 
the covenant level of 1.5. The Group's weighted average cost of debt is currently at 11.18%.

R62 million of debt that matured was repaid by the Group after 31 August 2018, thereby reducing 
borrowings to R990.6 million.

Cash flow
Cash flow from operations came under pressure during the period due to the deliberate slowdown in 
operations by management following the challenges experienced on various projects. This was 
compounded by slower than anticipated handover of units to the REIT JV, together with the temporary 
slowdown/closure of the Fleurhof and Scottsdene projects and the associated security and repair costs 
required due to illegal invasions.

During the period, the Group invested very little into new infrastructure in an effort to reduce 
pressure on working capital.

What does the future hold for Calgro M3?
Our strategy is to enable the extraction of multiple sources of revenue and profits from business and 
opportunities along the turnkey property development value chain, which will lead to an improved 
operating margin blend and the creation of annuity income.

It remains the Group's strategy that the three segments contribute evenly to profitability in the 
future. This strategy can only be achieved if the capital base grows annually by capitalising and 
gearing profits, rather than paying dividends. The longer-term aim is to have all operating 
expenditure for the Group, paid from businesses other than the residential development business. The 
optimal application of capital between new opportunities, working capital and risk capital will remain 
an important strategic decision as capital allocations are made across this
horizontal value chain.

As reported, our variable costing principle was tested in the last six months. The Group believes 
that it is critical that all residential development business activities are closely monitored and 
that the ability to make quick decisions to manage and control risk will be instrumental in reducing 
the potential impact thereof. 

The Group is currently only investigating some memorial parks in Tshwane 
and KwaZulu-Natal, one new residential development project as well as some potential properties to be 
acquired and developed for the REIT. The internal focus is on rolling out the current projects that 
the Group has secured in its pipeline. Alternative uses for some of the mid to high-end land parcels 
are being investigated to improve the cash generation cycle, with no anticipated losses from these 
possible conversions expected.

Transformation goes beyond compliance with legislation and regulation. Our goal is to create a truly 
transformed organisation where people are empowered to fulfil their purpose. We acknowledge that the 
broader transformation of society cannot take place unless large companies such as Calgro M3 play a 
major role therein. We are proud to be a level 1 BBBEE contributor.

We are expecting the effect of the challenges and delays to continue towards the end of the 
financial year. Once the challenges are resolved the time required to reach full operational 
capacity will be three to four months per site. The uncertainties and corresponding increase in 
security, standing time and holding costs are placing strain on operational cash flows. The board 
has analysed the cash flows for the Group and will continue to monitor the actual cash flows against 
the forecast to ensure that appropriate and timeous action is taken should any material 
deviation occur.

The Group is cautious in the current uncertain environment and careful consideration will be given 
to what the best use of cash is on each project to ensure sustainable long-term return and value 
for shareholders.

Health, safety and environmental initiatives
Calgro M3 remains committed to health and safety standards of the highest level as well as 
minimising the negative impact of any operations on the environment. The development and enforcement 
of policies and procedures is being undertaken by the health and safety manager with assistance from 
the environmental manager.

The Group is extremely proud to announce that the 2019 financial year to date has been fatality-free.

Board of Directors
During the period George Hauptfleisch was appointed as an independent non-executive director and 
chairperson of the audit and risk committee, effective 6 June 2018.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
1.  Basis of preparation
    1.1  Statement of compliance
         The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance 
         with International Financial Reporting Standard, IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, the 
         SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and 
         Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and the 
         requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.
 
         The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by M Esterhuizen 
         CA(SA) under the supervision of WA Joubert CA(SA).
 
         The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with 
         the Group annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 28 February 2018, which 
         have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The interim financial 
         statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, excluding financial instruments, 
         which are measured at fair value. This is the first set of interim financial statements 
         where IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 have been applied. Changes to significant accounting policies are 
         described in note 3.
 
         No event that is material to the financial affairs of the Group has occurred between the 
         reporting date and the date of approval of the condensed consolidated interim 
         financial statements.
 
         The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were not reviewed or audited by the 
         Group's external auditors.
 
         The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Calgro M3 Group were 
         authorised for issue by the board of directors on 19 October 2018.
 
    1.2  Judgements and estimates
         Management made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of 
         accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. 
         Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgements made by 
         management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key source of estimation 
         uncertainty were similar to those applied to the Group annual financial statements as at 
         and for the year ended 28 February 2018, except for new significant judgements related to 
         the adoption of IFRS 9, and IFRS 15 which are described in note 3.2 and 3.5.
 
2.  Accounting policies
    The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial
    statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group annual financial 
    statements asat and for the year ended 28 February 2018, except for the adoption of new or amended 
    standards as set out below.

    2.1  New or amended standards adopted by the Group
         A number of new or amended standards became effective for the current reporting period. 
         The Group has adopted the following new standards, which are relevant to the Group, for the 
         first time for the six-month period commencing on 1 March 2018:
         - IFRS 9: Financial Instruments (IFRS 9)
         - IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15).
 
         The adoption of these standards has resulted in the Group changing its accounting policies. 
         The impact of the adoption and the new accounting policies are disclosed in note 3.
 
3.  Changes in accounting policies
    This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 on the interim financial 
    statements.

    3.1  Impact on the financial statements
         Prior year financial statements did not have to be restated as a result of the changes in 
         the Group's accounting policies due to the adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15. As explained in 
         note 3.2 and 3.5 below, IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 were adopted without restating comparative 
         information.
      
         Below is an illustration of the impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of
         comprehensive income and unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

    3.2  Impact of adoption of IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers
         The revenue accounting policy has changed with effect from 1 March 2018 as a result of the 
         Group adopting IFRS 15.
 
         IFRS 15 supersedes IAS 18 (Revenue), IAS 11 (Construction Contracts) and related 
         interpretations for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. IFRS 15 applies to 
         all revenue arising from contracts with customers, unless those contracts are in the scope 
         of other standards. IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, 
         how much and when revenue is recognised, providing additional guidance in many areas not 
         covered in detail under the previous revenue standards and interpretations. The standard 
         requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant 
         facts and circumstances when applying the framework to the contracts with customers. 
         The standard also specifies the accounting treatment for the incremental costs of obtaining 
         a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. IFRS 15 further includes
         extensive new disclosure requirements.
 
         Refer note 3.4 for the Group's revised revenue accounting policy as well as revenue 
         treatment of each product type. Refer to note 3.4.1 for the disaggregated revenue disclosure 
         required by IFRS 15.
 
         As permitted by IFRS 15 the Group has elected not to restate the comparative information. 
         Accordingly, the impact of IFRS 15 has been applied using the modified retrospective 
         restatement method allowed under the standard resulting in an adjustment to the Group's 
         opening retained earnings on 1 March 2018. The comparative information presented for 2018 is 
         therefore presented as previously reported applying the previous revenue standards and 
         interpretations.
 
         The cumulative effect of the retrospective application on the Group's retained earnings as 
         at 1 March 2018 is as follows:
                                                                                            Unaudited

    3.4  Accounting policies applied from 1 March 2018
         The Group derives revenue from contracts with customers for the supply of goods 
         (infrastructure, fully and partially subsidised units, non-subsidised units, serviced land 
         and memorial park burial rights) and services (memorial park burial services and memorial 
         park maintenance).
 
         Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with a customer 
         excluding any amounts received on behalf of third parties and is recognised when it 
         transfers control of the goods or services to a customer.
 
         The Group measures and accounts for revenue based on the specifications of each individual 
         contract with a customer and based on the contractual obligations either accounts for the 
         revenue at a specific point in time or over time as control of the goods or services are 
         transferred to the customer.

    3.5  Impact of adopting IFRS 9
         IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39) for 
         annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. IFRS 9 brings together all aspects of 
         accounting for financial instruments that relate to the recognition, classification and 
         measurement, derecognition, impairment and hedge accounting.
 
         The adoption of IFRS 9 from 1 March 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies and 
         adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The new accounting 
         policies are set out in note 3.6 below. Comparative information has not been restated in 
         accordance with the transitional requirements of IFRS 9 which requires comparative 
         information not to be restated (with an exception where it is possible to restate without 
         the use of hindsight) but for disclosures to be made concerning the reclassifications and 
         measurements as set out below.
 
         The adoption of IFRS 9 has had the following effect on the Group:
         - Change from the IAS 39 incurred loss model to the expected credit loss ('ECL') model to 
           calculate impairments of financial instruments.
         - Change in classification of the measurement categories for financial instruments.

         Under IFRS 9 the Group calculates allowance for credit losses as ECLs for financial 
         assets measured at amortised cost, debt investments at fair value through other 
         comprehensive income ('FVOCI') and contract assets. ECLs are a probability weighted 
         estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash 
         shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance 
         with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are
         discounted at the original effective interest rate ('EIR') of the financial asset.
 
         Due to the nature of the Group's financial instruments, a simplified approach could not 
         be followed.Instead a judgemental approach (non-statistical) was adopted with the use of established 
         credit techniques.
 
         The expected credit losses calculations took into consideration various scenarios and 
         were weighted against stage of completion of a relevant project and taking into 
         consideration the distance from budget and current economic conditions.

         The total impact on the Group's retained earnings as at 1 January 2018 is as follows:
 
                                                                                         Unaudited

    3.6  Accounting policies applied from 1 March 2018
         3.6.1  Classification and measurement
                (i)   Classification
                      IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the 
                      classification and measurement of financial liabilities. However, IFRS 9 
                      eliminates the previous IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and 
                      receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.
  
                      The accounting for the Group's financial liabilities remains largely the same 
                      as it was under IAS 39.
  
                      Under IFRS 9, on initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as 
                      measured at:
                      - Amortised cost;
                      - Fair value through other comprehensive income ('FVOCI');
                      - FVOCI equity investment; or
                      - Fair value through profit or loss ('FVPL').
  
                      The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the 
                      business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash 
                      flows characteristics.
  
                      There are no change in classification on the opening balances of financial 
                      assets measured at amortised cost.
  
                (ii)  Measurement
                      Financial assets
                      At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair 
                      value plus, in the case of financial asset not at FVPL, transaction cost that 
                      are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
  
                      Transaction cost of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit 
                      or loss.
  
                      Interest income from these financial assets are included in finance income 
                      using the effective interest rate method.
  
                      Any gain or loss arising on the derecognition is recognised directly in 
                      profit or loss and presented in operating expenses.

                      Financial liabilities
                      At initial recognition the Group measures a financial liability at fair value 
                      less any transaction cost capitalised to the financial liability at initial 
                      recognition.
  
                      All of the Group's financial liabilities are classified as 'financial 
                      liabilities at amortised cost' and are therefore subsequently measured at 
                      amortised cost.
  
                      Equity instruments
                      Equity instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, where the Group's 
                      management has elected to present fair value gains and losses through OCI, 
                      there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to 
                      profit or loss following derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such 
                      investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as income from 
                      financial assets when the Group's right to receive payments is established. 
   
                      Changes in fair value of the financial assets at FVPL are recognised in 
                      operating expenses in the statement of comprehensive income as applicable.
  
                (iii) Impairment
                      From 1 March 2018, the Group assesses on a forward looking basis the ECLs 
                      associated with its financial asset instruments carried at amortised cost. 
                      The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a 
                      significant increase in credit risk. Credit losses are measured as the 
                      present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash 
                      flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows 
                      that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the original EIR 
                      of the financial asset.
  
                      All gains and losses relating to ECLs are recognised through profit and loss.

    The Group entered into various sale and purchase transactions with associates and joint 
    ventures during the ordinary course of business. These transactions were subject to terms that 
    are no less, nor more favourable than those arranged with independent third parties.

8.  Financial instruments
    The carrying value of all financial instruments are equal to the fair value of those 
    instruments at 31 August 2018 with the exception of borrowings. The carrying value of 
    borrowings at 31 August 2018 was R1.053 billion, with a corresponding fair value of 
    R1.089 billion. The difference is attributable to the bonds trading in an active market and 
    are classified as level 2 in the IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy.

9.  Bond Exchange
    During the period ended 31 August 2018, the Group repaid R91 million in borrowings that 
    matured, as well as raised a total of R146 million in a combination of three and five-year 
    notes. Subsequent to 31 August 2018, R62 million was repaid that matured.

    Total finance cost incurred for the period amounted to R59.8 million (August 2017: 
    R34.7 million) of which R29.9 million (August 2017: R23.7 million) was capitalised to 
    inventory and construction contracts.

10. Dividends
    Management believes that cash should be retained to fund growth across the Group. Cash 
    retention is important to ensure investment in future projects, as well as reduced reliance 
    on debt finance. The Board has therefore resolved not to declare a dividend for this 
    reporting period.

11. Going concern
    Based on the latest results for the six-month period ended 31 August 2018, the latest board 
    approved budget for 2019, as well as the available bank facilities and cash generating 
    capability, Calgro M3 satisfies the criteria of a going concern.

12. JSE Listings Requirements
    The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in 
    accordance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE.

13. Corporate governance
    Corporate governance forms one of the foundational layers of the Calgro M3 strategy as we 
    understand that transparency, integrity and accountability need to permeate everything that 
    we do. The board of directors endorse the principles contained in King IV�. Calgro M3's 
    application of these principles are set out in the 2018 integrated report and has been, in 
    accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements, available on the Company's website since 
    May 2018. Please contact Ms I April, Group company secretary, for any additional information.

14. Ratio calculations
    Net debt/equity ratio
    This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by equity. Net debt is calculated as total cash 
    interest-bearing borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Equity is calculated as the total 
    equity per the statement of financial position (excluding share-based payment reserve).

    Debt service cover ratio ('DSCR')
    The Group monitors capital repayments of interest serviceability on the basis of its debt 
    service cover ratio ('DSCR'). The minimum allowed DSCR for the Group is 1.2.

    This ratio is calculated as available cash flow divided by debt service requirement. Available 
    cash flow is calculated as net cash generated from operating activities plus new financial 
    indebtedness incurred plus cash and cash equivalent at the beginning of the year plus capital 
    expenditure (including investments into associates and joint ventures). Debt service 
    requirement is calculated as interest and fees plus principal repayments.
