Unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
for the six months ended 28 February 2019 ("interim period")

Commentary

Introduction
Consolidated Infrastructure Group Limited ("CIG") is a pan-African infrastructure-
focused group with a diversified portfolio of operations in Power, Building
Materials, Oil & Gas and Rail. The group's footprint spans South Africa, sub-
Saharan Africa and the Middle East.

CIG reports disappointing results for the six months to 28 February 2019 
("the period"). Group revenue decreased by 8,8% from R1,304 million to 
R1,189 million. The loss after taxation for the group is reported at 
R1,220 million (H1 F2018: R1,203 million loss).

The group incurred a loss per share of R4,56 (H1 F2018: R6,13). After adjusting 
for the impairment in goodwill and intangible assets, the headline loss per 
share is R4,17 (H1 F2018: R3,42).

Despite the significant operating loss, only R133,8 million of cash was utilised 
in operations (H1 F2018: R96,5 million). Net cash outflow from operating 
activities was R281,1 million (H1 F2018: R255,1 million).

This period has been impacted by a tough macro-economic environment with pressure 
on most of the group's operations, especially in the engineering, procurement 
and construction ("EPC") businesses within the Power and Rail segments.

The results have been further impacted by impairments to unrecoverable work in 
progress and receivables, mainly in the Conco business, as well as impairments 
to goodwill and intangibles and deferred taxation. These impairments do not 
represent future cash outflows and thus do not impact on the group's liquidity 
forecasts. These impairments are further discussed within the divisional overview.

Group recapitalisation
During the period, the company successfully concluded its capital raising and,
following a rights offer which closed on 24 December 2018, received R777 million
of net fresh capital, resulting in Fairfax Africa Holdings Corporation ("Fairfax
Africa") acquiring a significant shareholding in CIG.

In addition, the board of directors was also reconfigured on 30 January 2019. 
The reconstituted board of directors was established with members with appropriate 
skill and expertise specifically in  financial management, reporting and internal 
control governance; capital resource management and allocation; trading within the 
rest of Africa, as well as engineering and construction business management.

The appointment on 2 April 2019 of Cristina Teixeira, a highly-skilled group CFO, 
who has deep industry knowledge, has in two months already had a significantly 
positive impact on the actions and decisions being taken within the business.

The group's cornerstone shareholder, Fairfax Africa, remains committed to the 
long-term prospects of CIG's offering and opportunities across the African 
energy space.

Revenue                             729 423         579 676         1 234 432
Loss after taxation                (839 646)       (629 790)       (1 243 692)

Conco supplies substations and delivers high voltage electrification work 
including wind farms and solar parks across Africa and the Middle East.

Operationally, Conco continued to suffer difficult trading conditions, 
unfavourable work conditions in South Africa, slower than anticipated contract 
awards and downward pressure on margins. This resulted in budgeted profit from 
unsecured contracts failing to materialise, along with an under-recovery on 
project overheads carried in anticipation of these contracts. Support services 
costs remain in excess of those required to sustain the current trading volumes.

Conco remains focused on successful execution of REIPPPP Round 4 projects in 
hand, which represents approximately 60% of current work on hand.

During the period under review, the business continued to make progress in 
improving its project management and financial reporting processes including:
- Assessments of and accountability on project execution and performance;
- Evaluation of the recoverability of recorded balance sheet values; and
- Liquidity management.

As a result, several impairments to work in progress and receivables balances, as 
well as impairments to intangible assets were recorded during the period. These 
impairments relate to costs incurred and cash spent in previous years.

Internally generated intangible assets, valued at R39,4 million, relating to a 
power-solution product development which is in progress for a specific customer, 
was impaired due to the early stages of development of the product and thus its 
suitability for recognition as an asset.

A provision for the possible impairment to under-certified revenue and contract 
debtors of R155,9 million on various projects was recorded.

Accruals for various direct and indirect taxation liabilities in multiple 
jurisdictions, as well as the reversal of taxation assets expected not to be 
recoverable was charged against earnings, totalling R142,3 million.

The material active contracts were re-assessed in the period and downward margin 
adjustments were processed, to reflect the expected realisable estimated 
completion margin, resulting in a charge against earnings of R110,5 million.

In addition, the cost to complete active contracts was reassessed and a charge 
against earnings of R31,8 million was recorded on a few onerous contracts.

Stock and materials on hand was assessed at period-end and inventory valued at
R24,5 million was scrapped.

The deferred taxation liability required for temporary differences was reassessed 
by each of the Conco operations and a liability of R21,9 million was raised.

In addition, retrenchment costs of R11,4 million were recorded in the period.

The impact of all the above adjustments has been factored into the division's 
liquidity forecasts.

The introduction of a new Conco CEO, Jonny Dladla, on 15 November 2018 and CFO, 
Graham Comins, on 1 March 2019, both with significant industry knowledge, has been 
well received both by the organisation and its external stakeholders, and they 
have already made significant progress with a focus on instilling a culture of 
accountability, improved project management and processes, monitoring of project 
margin and cash flow. Monthly project reviews were introduced in the period, 
attended by both Conco and CIG management, enabling early remedial intervention 
on contracts where necessary.

A cautious approach has been adopted regarding the inclusion of earnings and cash 
enhancements from unapproved variation orders and claims. Further, recovery plans 
have been implemented on all projects which indicated a completion date later than 
the initial programme with regular monitoring by the Conco CEO. The commercial 
skillset within the business has been recently bolstered with a key focus on 
improving the organisation's contracting processes and addressing claim management 
and recovery thereon.

To bolster liquidity management, a Project Management Office programme was 
introduced requiring daily feedback on project cash flows, with feedback to 
CIG management and the group's recently constituted financial committee,  
comprising certain members of the CIG board of directors.

In addition, a contract engineering expert is being appointed, to independently 
assess and monitor project performance and adherence to the contract delivery 
programme with regular feedback to the CIG and Conco management.

The Conco order book is reported at R3,6 billion (F2018: R4,7 billion).

Conlog
R'000                                 H1 F2019        H1 F2018           F2018
Revenue                                218 379         312 840         656 075
Profit after taxation                    2 927          60 062         152 275

Conlog provides pre-paid and smart electronic metering devices and solutions, 
from design to distribution. Services for utilities and municipalities include 
revenue management, revenue protection, pre-payment with smart load control 
and load management.

Conlog's performance for the period was satisfactory in the prevailing economic 
landscape, albeit that the business performance was below that of the prior 
comparable period and its budget for the first six months. This is due to lower 
than expected sales to its primary customer which impacted on the business's 
performance in the period. Short-term actions to curtail discretionary and 
non-essential spend have been taken and the cash generation expectation for 
the next period is expected to exceed earnings levels.

The group is cognisant of Conlog's customer concentration risk and has developed 
diversification strategies. Sales levels are expected to recover in the
latter half of calendar year 2019 and into 2020.

Conlog will continue targeting meter leasing and platform opportunities to grow 
annuity income and introduce new services. Opportunities for Conlog remain 
significant.

Consolidated Power Maintenance maintains renewable energy sites and 
transmission substations.

During the period, an impairment of goodwill of R1,9 million was recorded. In 
addition, a provision was raised for potentially unrecoverable debtor balances 
and costs incurred on contracts not yet certified totalling R12,8 million. A 
deferred taxation asset of R5,5 million related to assessed losses incurred, 
which was previously raised, was also reversed and charged against earnings 
until the utilisation thereof can be reasonably demonstrated.

CIGenCo designs and develops mid-sized power generation projects in Africa. 

CIGenCo remains focused on co-developing and operating clean energy power-
producing plants to grow annuity income. The contribution from its Namibian
Ejuva Solar Energy projects remain pleasing.

During the period, the group also impaired the recognition of all costs incurred 
on projects under development where the group deems financial close not to be 
achievable in the short term. This impacted the segment results by R67,8 million.

Tractionel specialises in the electrification of railways and the installation
of overhead traction equipment.

The business continued to experience quiet activity levels with few new contracts 
awarded and a resultant under-recovery of overheads.

A provision of R86 million was made against two contracts in which there are 
ongoing legal disputes, resulting in the business reporting a loss for the 
period.

A deferred taxation asset of R27,2 million related to assessed losses incurred, 
which was previously raised, was also reversed and charged against earnings until 
the utilisation thereof can be reasonably demonstrated.

(Loss)/profit after taxation          (82 781)            8 474          27 275

Drift Supersand mines a range of aggregates and West End Claybrick ("West End")
manufactures clay bricks and concrete roof tiles.

The division continued to perform steadily in the period within difficult local 
macro-economic conditions amplified by the lack of expenditure within traditional 
construction works.

West End's concrete roof tile component performed well, while its clay bricks 
remain under pressure with cyclical demand.

During the period an impairment of goodwill of R64,3 million was recorded relating 
to both the aggregate business as well as the clay brick business. In addition, 
the business enhanced its provision for rehabilitation liability.

Oil & Gas

Profit after taxation                   18 672           10 419           50 646

AES is a waste disposal service provider to the oil and gas industry in Angola. 
The company performed well in the period to meet budget and continues to have 
some strong near-term growth opportunities as the number of new drilling rigs 
increases.

Recapitalisation
The group's debt standstill agreement with its funders expired on 31 May 2019
and the group has been successful in securing an extension until 29 July 2019,
with the expectation that the key conditions of the debt restructuring agreement
be agreed before the end of June 2019.

The group, along with its funders are focused on concluding a finalised 
restructured debt agreement within this timeframe. Specific conditions on 
covenants, pricing and other matters as would be expected in support of a normal 
debt restructuring process, are being discussed. Once finalised between the 
company and its funder group, the structure will progress for consideration by 
each of the funders' credit committee's and the company's board of directors, 
culminating in finalised legal agreements.

CIG thanks its funders for their co-operative efforts in supporting the group to 
re-establish sustainability.

Outlook
Across the continent, the opportunities for CIG's power businesses continue to
be driven by:
- Growth in renewable energy and off-grid industrial-scale opportunities in
Africa;
- Leveraging the established regional presence/market experience of group
companies to geographically expand other group companies' products and services;
- Normality returning to the South African market and recovery with award and
ability to execute contracts; and
- Financing of grid infrastructure-utilising export credit funding lines.

Management remains focused on the long-term strategy to transition the group
away from the vagaries of EPC contracting and into a sustainable platform 
supplying power needs across Africa.

Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared 
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), 
(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, the JSE Listings Requirements and the 
requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim financial 
statements are in terms of International Financial Reporting Standards and are 
consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial 
statements for the year ended 31 August 2018, with the exception of International 
Financial Reporting Standard 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers and 
International Financial Reporting Standard 9: Financial Instruments, which 
have been adopted in these interim financial statements for the first time.

Changes to significant accounting policies are described below.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been 
prepared by C de Kock CA(SA) under the supervision of CMF Teixeira CA(SA).

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were not reviewed or 
audited by the group's external auditor.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the 
Consolidated Infrastructure Group Limited were authorised for issue by the board 
of directors on 3 June 2019.

Estimates and contingencies
The group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future, particularly
with regard to construction contract profit taking, provisions, arbitrations, 
claims and various fair value accounting policies. Accounting estimates and 
judgements can, by definition, only approximate results, as the actual results 
may differ from such estimates. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated 
and are based on historic experience and other factors, including expectations of 
future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Total financial institution guarantees offered to third parties on behalf of
 subsidiary companies amounted to R1,8 billion.

Change in accounting policies
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:
- 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 of the new accounting policies is disclosed 
below. The prior year annual financial statements did not have to be restated as 
a result of the changes in the group's accounting policies, as IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 
were adopted without restating comparative information.

IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (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.

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. The comparative 
information presented for 2018 is therefore presented as previously reported 
applying the previous revenue standards and interpretations.

In assessing contract positions on an individual project basis as required by 
IFRS 15, contract assets recognised under IAS 11 were not regarded as 
contractually receivable and were therefore reversed under IFRS 15 into cost 
of sales. The cumulative effect of the retrospective application on the group's 
retained earnings is reflected within the group's statement of changes 
in equity.

The group derives revenue from contracts with customers for the supply of 
goods and services. Below is the group's revised revenue treatment of each 
product type.
