UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

Hulisani is pleased to announce its interim results for the period ended 31 August 2021. Shareholders
are advised that the Company’s unaudited condensed interim financial results for the six months ended
31 August 2021 were published on SENS on 15 November 2021 (“Full Announcement”).

1.   STRATEGIC AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

During the period under review, we continued our focus on keeping costs under control. Our assets
have continued to demonstrate strong performance and are cash generative. We are pleased to report
positive cash flow in line with our business strategy and are equally pleased to report an improvement
in our earnings for the six months ended 31 August 2021.

2.   SALIENT FEATURES

 •   Revenue of R32 million (2020: R31 million) increased 3% year-on-year.
 •   Operating expenses for the period under review decreased to R29 million from R38 million last
     year.
 •   Earnings per share and Headline Earnings per share increased by more than 100% to 49 cents
     per share, from the 4 cents per share in the prior year.

3.   FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue of R32 million (2020: R31 million) increased 3% year-on-year. The increase in revenue is
related to the return to more optimal production at Rustmo, following the cleaning of solar panels
reported at year-end.

Operating expenses for the period under review decreased to R29 million from R38 million last year.
This is in line with our strategy to contain costs.

Fair value gains increased 81% to R26 million following an increase in the projected utilisation rates of
our power plants resulting in improved revenue projections. This was coupled with a favourable mark-
to-market movement in the Fair Value Assets.

Earnings per share and Headline Earnings per share increased by more than 100% to 49 cents per
share, from the 4 cents per share in the prior year.

Net cash from investing activities for the Group amounted to R14 million for the current period compared
to R24 million last year, while net cash movement for the period amounted to a cash outflow of R3
million, largely due to the payment of our maiden dividend during the current period.

4.   OUTLOOK

We maintain our positive outlook on the South African energy sector. Notwithstanding uncertainty in the
economy, energy remains a key growth sector in the South African economy.
Following the announcement by the president in June 2021 that the minimum threshold for embedded
generation of power would be lifted from 1MW currently to 100MW to allow IPPs to build power plants
without the need to go through the NERSA licensing process, the Minister of Mineral Resources and
Energy unveiled 25 new preferred bidders in the fifth bid window of the Renewable Energy Independent
Power Producer Procurement Programme. This is a further positive development in the sector and an
indication of increased momentum.
