CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 AUGUST 2018

INTRODUCTION

Hulisani is presenting the group results for the six months period ended in 31 August 2018.

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

RESULTS

Revenue for the period under review is reported at R23.6m, an increase of R10.7m from the
prior half-year period. Revenue arose from the sale of electricity to Eskom, backed by the PPA
contract.

Operating expenses increased by 24% compared to the prior half-year unaudited results to
R34.4m. Contributing to the increase in operating expenses is the increase in staff compliment
since Hulisani ceased to operate as a Special Vehicle Purpose (SPAC), as well as the
incorporation of the full six months of the subsidiary investee operations relative to three months
in the prior period (the subsidiary was acquired in June 2017). Hulisani’s evolution from
operating as a SPAC necessitated additional resources and building of capacity during the
period under review. The additional resources and capacity are necessary for the proper and
sustainable operation of the company in the long term.


Finance income of R2.4m earned consists of R0.9m interest in cash balances and R1.5m
interest earned on financial investments. The group incurred interest expenses of R7.6m on long
term borrowings.

Hulisani’s share of loss from associates for the six months period under review is R7.4m. This
relates to Hulisani’s share of losses from GRI Wind Steel South Africa (“GRI”’), the only
operational manufacturer of Wind Towers in South Africa, in which the Company holds 25%.
GRI has made losses as a result of the two year delay in the recently signed 27 Power Purchase
Agreements (PPAs). The previous reporting period included losses for two months (the
acquisition was made in July 2017) whereas the current reporting period includes six months of
losses. In addition, Hulisani’s full shareholding of 25% is accounted for in the current period,
whereas only a 12,5% share of losses was accounted for in the previous comparative period.
This holding is made up of a 12.5% equity investment (accounted for as a loss in the previous
period) as well as a further 12.5% holding through a preference share, which was reclassified as
an investment in associates at year end. While accounting for a much larger holding has
resulted in a greater loss reported for the six months under review, GRI Wind Steel has secured
significant orders to manufacture wind towers with the potential for an increase in orders since
the recent signing of 27 PPAs by ESKOM. The income from the signed contracts will only reflect
in subsequent periods.


In the prior half year period Hulisani Limited issued a loan to the value of R100m to Legend
Power Solution Pty) Ltd (“LPS”) which was classified as a loan receivable. At the end of the prior
year period the loan was classified as a financial asset at fair value through profit and loss and
carried as such in the period under review.

The following table reflects the operating financial results for the six months ended 31 August
2018 compared to the corresponding previous financial period:

PROJECTIONS

The recent signing of 27 PPAs by ESKOM and the release of the IRP update, presents a
significant break from a long period of delays and uncertainty in the South African energy market
and provides momentum to the energy sector. Hulisani maintains a positive outlook on the
energy sector and our pipeline stands at R4bn, with an initial focus on R2bn in completed
projects. We continue to assess various forms of funding to enable the conclusion of the
pipeline.

GOING CONCERN

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim results for the period ended 31 August 2018,
have been prepared on a going concern basis.

DIRECTORS

3. RECLASSIFICATION OF ASSETS

(a)      Convertible loan to Legend Power Solution
Hulisani Limited has issued a convertible loan to the value of R100m to Legend Power Solutions
(Pty) Ltd (“LPS”), a company with an underlying investment in Avon and Dedisa Peaking Power.
The loan participates in 9% of distributable profits available to LPS shareholders and will convert
to a 9% equity stake in LPS on maturity. The convertible loan is carried at fair value with gains
and loss recognised through profit and loss. In the comparative period this investment was
presented as loan receivables on the group’s statement of financial position.

The group has updated comparative information and reclassified the convertible loan to financial
assets at fair value through profit and loss to reflect the measurement basis.


(b)     Investment in GRI Wind Steel (Pty) Ltd associates
The Company acquired 50% of the share capital in Pele SPV13 (Pty) Ltd (“Pele SPV13”) for a
cash consideration of R41.25m and subscribed for preference shares of R41.25m to Pele
SPV198 (Pty) Ltd (“Pele SPV198”). The preference share subscription agreement includes a
requirement that Pele SPV198 pledges its shares held in Pele SPV13 to Hulisani until the
preference share funding is repaid. Therefore, until such time as the preference shares have
been repaid, risks and rewards associated to Pele SPV198 investment in Pele SPV13 remain
with Hulisani resulting in a 25% effective stake in GRI Wind Steel South Africa (Pty) Ltd (“GRI”)
which has been equity accounted.

In the comparative period the subscription to the preference shares in Pele SPV198 (Pty) Ltd
was classified as other financial instruments. The company has updated the comparative
information and reclassified the subscription to preference shares to Investments in associates
to reflect the substance of the transaction.

There were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 for recurring fair value measurements during
the year.
The group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as
at the end of the reporting period.

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded
derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at
the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the
group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for
example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which
maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific
estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the
instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the
instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.

(iv)    Valuation techniques used to determine fair values

The fair value of the convertible loan and preference shares is determined using discounted
cash flow method.

1 The positive fair value movement for interims is mainly attributable to a change in the cashflow
sweeping mechanism that was put in place by the lender, which became no longer applicable
during interim reporting, resulting in increased free cashflows.

(vi)     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).

Cumulative preference shares are valued by using the Discounted Cash Flow Method and the
convertible loan uses 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.

11. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES


This note explains the impact of the adoption of the following new accounting standards on the
group’s financial statements, as issued by IASB, which were effective for the group from 01
March 2018:
• IFRS15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15).
• IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (IFRS 9).

(i)     Impact on the financial statements

The group did not need to restate prior year financial statements due to changes in accounting
policies due to adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15.

(ii)    Adoption of IFRS 15

The policy changes came into effect on 01 March 2018 for the group. IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18
Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations. Under IFRS 15, revenue is
recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity is expected to be
entitled for transferring goods or services to a customer. In accordance with the transition
provisions in IFRS 15, the group is required to adopt the new rules retrospectively and restate
comparatives for the prior financial year.

The group generates revenue from the sale of electricity to Eskom. The adoption of IFRS 15 did
not have a significant impact on revenue recognition on the sale of electricity.

(iii)   Adoption of IFRS 9

IFRS 9 replaces the provisions of IAS 39 that relate to the recognition, classification and
measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments,
impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. The adoption of IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments has the following impact on the group:
• Change in classification of the measurement categories for financial instruments.
• Change from the IAS39 incurred loss model to the expected credit loss (ECL) model when
  determining impairment of financial assets.

(a)     Classification and measurements

IFRS 9 introduced changes to the measurement categories for financial assets. The group
classifies financial assets in each of the IFRS 9 measurements categories based on the group’s
business model for managing financial assets and the cash flow characteristics of the financial
assets. The new financial assets categories are illustrated below:

IAS 39 Categories                                   IFRS 9 Categories
Financial assets at fair value through profit and   Financial assets at fair value through profit and
loss                                                loss (FVTPL)
Loans and receivables                               Financial assets at amortised cost

Available for sale assets                           Financial assets at fair value through other
                                                    comprehensive income (FVOCI)
Held to maturity

The reclassification into new measurement categories of IFRS 9 did not have a significant
impact on the group. Hulisani has designated investments in preference shares at fair value
through other comprehensive income, and convertible loan to LPS at fair value through profit
and loss.

Financial liabilities under IFRS 9 continued to be measured at amortised cost except for those
designated at fair value through profit and loss, which are measured at fair value.

(b)       Impairment of financial assets

The group was required to revise its impairment methodology under IFRS 9 for each of the
following classes of assets:
• Trade and other receivables
• Financial assets carried at amortised cost
• Contract asset relating to the Eskom contract
• Preference shares carried at FVOCI

While cash and cash equivalents are subject to the impairment requirement of IFRS 9, the
identified impairment loss was immaterial.

Under IFRS 9, credit losses (impairments) are recognised earlier than under IAS 39. Expected
credit loss allowances are measured on either one of the following basis:

•     12 – month ECLs; these are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12
      months after the reporting date; and
•     Lifetime ECLs; these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected
      life of the financial instrument.

?     Trade and other receivables and contract assets

The group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which
uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets.

The group recognised the expected credit risk as immaterial to provide for restatement of
opening balances.
