REVIEWED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2018

INTRODUCTION

In the year end under review Hulisani concluded its first investment, the viable acquisition in
the form of a 6.67% interest in the Kouga Wind Farm (Pty) Ltd, on 22 March 2017. The
transaction resulted in Hulisani ceasing to operate as a Special Acquisition Company
(“SPAC”). Since then Hulisani has concluded three additional investments; a convertible loan
to Legend Power Solution (Pty) Ltd in April 2017, and equity investments of 66% in RustMo1
Solar Farm (RF) (Pty) Ltd in June 2017 and 25% in GRI Wind Steel SA (Pty) Ltd in July 2017
respectively. The RustMo1 Solar Farm transaction is an acquisition of a controlling stake,
which results in a business combination from a financial reporting perspective.

Hulisani is listed on the JSE and trades as an investment holding company.

RESULTS

Hulisani’s performance for the year is a consolidated view of the acquired investments.
Revenue of R37m for the period under review is reported. The revenue arose from the trading
activities of RustMo1 Solar Farm. Operating expenses for the period are R57.7m.

The following table reflects the operating financial results for the year ended 28 February
2018 compared to the corresponding previous financial period:

MATERIAL ITEMS

The following items have been identified as items which are material due to the significance
of the amount. They have been separately analysed to provide a better understanding of the
financial performance of the group.

                                                                                         2018

(a)     Impairment loss

Kouga Wind Farm (Pty) Ltd “Kouga”
The Kouga plant has experienced performance issues during the financial period under
review. This emanates from quality issues on certain parts which have negatively impacted
the performance of the plant. The carrying amount of the investment has been written down
to the recoverable amount of R122m, which was determined by reference to the operations’
value in use. An impairment loss of R14m has been recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income.

GRI Wind Steel SA (Pty) Ltd “GRI”
GRI is a manufacturing plant, with the initial clientele focus on the Renewable Energy
Independent Power Produce Programme (REIPPP), however this programme was put on
hold by the Minister of the Department of Energy, which impacted the business plan of GRI,
as the demand for the products slowed down. This has had an effect on the financial
performance of the company. The carrying amount has been written down to R26m, this
recoverable amount references value in use. An impairment loss of R46m has been
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

(b)     Fair value loss

A fair value loss of R25m was recognized in the statement of comprehensive income during
the period under review on Legend Power Solution convertible loan. The fair value loss on the
convertible loan is driven by lower revenue projections, in comparison to the initial investment
projections.

Hulisani is confident that the highlighted valuation losses will reverse in the future as the
environment improves in the investments. Furthermore, projections speak to the expected
positive changes in the energy space.

PROJECTIONS

The outlook for the South African energy space is looking very positive, with the recent
signing of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for Independent Power Producers (IPPs) by
the Minister of the Department of Energy (DOE) and Eskom. Given that Hulisani’s projects
pipeline comprises of a few of the projects with recently signed PPAs, Hulisani could benefit
from the signing of the PPAs and enhance its returns. Hulisani also has a healthy pipeline of
secondary opportunities and is in a good position to target the higher yielding ones. Hulisani’s
current projects pipeline in the secondary market is approximately R2.25bn in the focus
projects – this is in relation to operating energy assets within South Africa. Hulisani is
assessing various forms of funding to enable the conclusion of the focus projects in the
pipeline.

GOING CONCERN

The reviewed condensed consolidated results for the year ended 28 February 2018, have
been prepared on a going concern basis. This basis presumes that funds will be available to
finance future operations, mainly from dividend receipts from underlying investments, and that
the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments
will occur in the ordinary course of business.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE
YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2018 (CONTINUED)

1. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE CURRENT REPORTING PERIOD

The purpose of Hulisani is to pursue the acquisition of, and investment in, companies focused

              made a viable acquisition in the form of a 6.67% interest in the Kouga Wind Farm
              (Pty)Ltd, situated in the Eastern Cape. (See Note 5)
          • Hulisani acquired 100% of the issued ordinary shares in Momentous Technologies (Pty)
              Ltd, a holding company that owns a 66% majority stake in RustMo1 Solar Farm (Pty) Ltd

              R120m. (See Note 4)
          • The Company acquired 25% stake in GRI Wind Steel South Africa (Pty) Ltd to the value
              of R82.5m. (See Note 5)

              Ltd (“LPS”). (see Note 6)

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for provisional reports and the
requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. The Listings Requirements require
provisional 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 as issued by the accounting practices
committee and financial pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards
Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting.

The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared under the supervision of the
chief financial officer, MP Dem, CA (SA).

The board of directors takes full responsibility for the preparation of the provisional report.
The financial information presented has been correctly extracted from the underlying financial
statements.

REVIEW REPORT

These condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2018
have been reviewed by the Company’s auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., which
expressed an unmodified review conclusion. A copy of the auditor’s review report is available
for inspection at the Company’s registered office together with the financial statements
identified in the auditor’s report.

The accounting policies applied in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements
are in terms of IFRS and consistent with those applied in the previous annual financial
statements, except for the adoption of new accounting policies as set out below:

•   Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has
    control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred
    to the Group. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business
    combinations by the Group.
•   The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an
    acquisition-by-acquisition basis, at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the
    acquired entity’s net identifiable assets.
•   Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control
    or joint control.
•   Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after
    initially being recognized at cost. The Group’s share of post-acquisition profits is
    recognized in profit or loss.
•   Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The
    Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured.
•   At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value. Loans and
    receivables and held-to-maturity investments are subsequently carried at amortised cost
    using the effective interest method.
•   Customer contracts acquired in the business combination are recognized at fair value at
    the acquisition date. They have a finite useful life and are subsequently carried at cost
    less accumulated amortisation.
•   Development costs acquired in the business combination relate to the development
    phase of a project in the subsidiary. The costs are recognized as intangible assets on the
    basis that recognition criteria are met. The development costs intangible asset is
    recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. The asset is subsequently carried at cost
    less accumulated amortisation.
•   Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred.
    Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by
definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise
judgement in applying the Group’s accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are
continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The areas involving significant estimates or judgements are:

•   Estimated fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.
    Hulisani issued a convertible loan to Legend Power Solutions. The Group has elected to
    classify the financial asset at fair value through profit and loss. The fair value is
    determined by using the discounted cash flow method by discounting the dividend
    income. The expected cash flows are discounted using an appropriate discount rate. In
    determining the recoverable amount, the group made key assumptions on base revenue
    from plant operations, discount rate and period of operation.

•   Impairment of investments in associates.
    The Group recognised impairments on its investments in associates, Kouga Wind Farm
    (Pty) Ltd and GRI Wind Steel SA (Pty) Ltd. The fair value of the investment in Kouga is
    determined by using the discounted cash flow method. The expected cash flows are
    discounted using an appropriate discount rate. In determining the expected cash flows,
    the Group made key assumptions on forecasted revenue and discount rate.

•   Goodwill impairment.
    The carrying value of goodwill in the group is R44m and arose on acquisition of a majority
    stake in RustMo1 Solar Farm (Pty) Ltd. RustMo1 is considered to be a separately
    identifiable cash generating unit. The recoverable amount of goodwill was based on a
    value in use discounted cash flow method. In determining the recoverable amount, the
    group made key assumptions on forecasted revenue and the discount rate.

4. ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY

On 1 June 2017, Hulisani Ltd acquired 100% of the issued ordinary shares in Momentous
Technologies (Pty) Ltd, a holding company that owns a 66% majority stake in RustMo1 Solar
Farm (Pty) Ltd, a solar PV farm in the North-West province for a cash consideration of
R120m. RustMo1 is engaged in the development, construction and operation of large scale
photovoltaic power generation for electricity in South Africa. The acquisition is part of
Hulisani’s strategy to invest in energy projects.

The acquired business contributed an incremental revenue of R37m and net profit of R7.4m
before non-controlling interest allocation. The revenue is recognised from the acquisition
date. Had the acquisition happened at the beginning of the financial period the combined
revenue for the group would have been R49.1m and net loss of R114m.

Details of the purchase consideration, net identifiable assets acquired, and goodwill are as
follows:

                                                                                        2018

                                                                                        2018

business combination and has recognized goodwill of R44m. The goodwill is mainly
attributable to the deferred tax liability recognized on the fair value of intangible assets.

5. INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES

(a)     Kouga Wind Farm (Pty) Ltd

On 22 March 2017 Hulisani acquired 100% of issued shares in Red Cap Investments (Pty)
("Red Cap”) Ltd and Eurocape Renewables (Pty) Ltd ("Eurocape") for a combined cash
consideration of R142m. Red Cap and Eurocape hold 5.46% and 1.21% interest in Kouga
Wind Farm (RF) (Pty) Ltd respectively, combined to 6.67%. Red Cap and Eurocape are
investment holding companies.
                                                                                2018
KOUGA WIND FARM (PTY) LTD                                                      R’000

Impairment loss                                                             (14,314)
Profit attributable to Hulisani Limited                                        3,526
Dividends received                                                           (8,350)
Balance at the end of the period                                            122,312

Impairment
The Kouga plant has experienced performance issues in the period under review. The
carrying amount of the investment has been written down to the recoverable amount of
R122m, which was determined by reference to the operations’ value in use.

The key inputs to the discounted cash flow model are as follows:
   1. Discount rate – 13.5%
           2. Base revenue – Base revenue is determined using the PPA tariff inflated at CPI over
              the term of the PPA. The base revenue in the cash flow projections, year ending 28
              February 2018, is R470 million.

The model is most sensitive to changes in base revenue and discount rate.

      i.      If all assumptions remained unchanged, a 5% decrease in base revenue results in a
              decrease in the recoverable amount, and further impairment of R11m;
  ii.         If all assumptions remained unchanged, a 1% increase in discount rate results in a
              decrease in the recoverable amount, and further impairment of R8m.

(b)           GRI Wind Steel SA (Pty) Ltd

On 27 July 2017 the Company acquired 50% of the share capital in Pele SPV13 (Pty) Ltd for
a cash consideration of R42.5m and issued preference shares of R42.5m to Pele SPV198
(Pty) Ltd. The transaction resulted in an acquisition of a 25% stake in GRI Wind Steel South
Africa (Pty) Ltd (“GRI”). Pele SPC198 has an option to acquire 12.5% interest in GRI.

                                                                                            2018
GRI WIND STEEL SA(PTY) LTD                                                                 R’000
Balance at the beginning of the period                                                         -
Addition                                                                                  82,501
Impairment loss                                                                         (45,985)
Loss attributable to Hulisani Limited                                                   (10,018)
Balance at the end of the period                                                          26,498

Impairment
The GRI is a manufacturing plant, with the initial clientele focus on the Renewable Energy
Independent Power Produce Programme (REIPPP), however this programme was put on
hold by the Minister of the Department of Energy, which impacted the business plan of GRI,
as the demand for the products slowed down. This has had an effect on the financial
performance of the company. The carrying amount of the investment has been written down
to the recoverable amount of R26m, which was determined by reference to the fair value of
individual assets.

The impairment loss of R46m is included in the statement of profit and loss.


6. FINANCIAL ASSET AT FVTPL

Hulisani issued a convertible loan to the value of R100m to Legend Power Solution Pty) Ltd
(“LPS”). The loan participates in distributable profits available to LPS shareholders. On
maturity the loan will convert to equity in LPS. The loan is classified as a financial investment
through profit and loss, with a fair value of R75m at the end of the financial period.

                                                                                            2018

Impairment of goodwill
Goodwill has been tested for impairment. The recoverable amount of goodwill was based on
a value in use discounted cash flow method. No impairment loss was recognized on goodwill
in the period under review.

The key inputs to the discounted cash flow model are as follows:
   1. Discount rate – 13.5%
   2. Base revenue - Base revenue is determined using the PPA tariff inflated at CPI over
      the term of the PPA. The base revenue in the cash flow projections, year ending 28
      February 2018, is R44.5 million.

(e) Valuation processes

The finance department of the group obtains input from independent valuation experts in
performing valuations of financial assets required for financial reporting purposes, including
level 3 fair values. The valuations expert communicates directly with the chief financial officer
(CFO).

Financial assets are valued by using either the Discounted Cash Flow Method or the Dividend
Discount Model. The discount rates used for the valuations are the prevailing market rates at
the time of the valuations.

The Group conducts valuations twice a year, at the interim financial reporting period and also
at the year-end reporting period.

(f) Significant unobservable inputs on convertible loan

The fair value is determined by using the discounted cash flow method by discounting the
dividend income.

The key inputs to the discounted cash flow model are as follows:

    1. Discount rate – 13.2%
    2. Base revenue from plant operation – Base revenue is determined using the PPA tariff
       for Dedisa and for Avon, inflated at CPI over the term of operation. The base revenue
       in the cash flow projections of Dedisa and Avon, year ending 28 February 2018, is
       R2.3 billion.
    3. Period of operation - 30 years

The model is most sensitive to changes in base revenue from operations, discount rate and
period of operation.
If all assumptions remained unchanged, a 5% decrease in base revenue results in a further
reduction in fair value of R14m;

If all assumptions remained unchanged, a 1% increase in discount rate results in a further
reduction in fair value of R9m.

If all assumptions remained unchanged, a 5 year reduction in the period of operation results
in a further reduction in fair value of R9m.
