COMMENTARY
During the year under review, Stellar Capital’s exposure to the South African industrial sector resulted in a mark-to-market
unrealised fair value loss of R390 million in relation to the Torre Industries Ltd (“Torre”) investment, which materially
contributed to the Group’s recorded net loss after taxation of R309.5 million. Despite this material and unexpected setback,
a number of investments showed measurable positive progress during the reporting period, while new corporate initiatives
haveaddedsignificantqualityandlongtermgrowthpotentialtotheportfolio.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
At the reporting date, the acquisition of a strategic interest in Prescient Holdings (Pty) Ltd (“Prescient”) had not yet been
completed.
CadizHoldings (Pty)Ltd (“Cadiz”)has shownstablisation in themanagement teamandsignificantly improved investment
performance since the appointment of CEO Shawn Stockigt. Costs continue to be reduced to a more sustainable level and

SPECIALTY FINANCE
The operational and balance sheet restructuring in Praxis Financial Services (Pty) Ltd (“Praxis”) during the year, as well as
significant IT platform enhancements,which are ongoing, have translated into improved tradingmetrics and year-to-date
profitabilityforthe9monthsended30November2016.
Integrated Equipment Rentals (Pty) Ltd (“IE Rentals”) continued to grow its rental book to R38.5 million earning an average
yield of 22% per annum.
Stellar Credit (Pty) Ltd (“Stellar Credit”) successfully established a sustainable revenue base as appointed fund manager of
third-party capital invested in Stellar Specialised Lending (Pty) Ltd (“SSL”) and the Inyosi Enterprise Development and Supplier
Development Funds.
The loan portfolio assets held by SSL continued to deliver exceptional returns during the year under review. Stellar Capital’s
investment in this loan portfolio, in the amount of R457.8 million at the reporting date, delivered cash interest and earnings
distributions of R80.2 million over the course of the year.

INDUSTRIALS
On 23 June Stellar Capital launched a mandatory offer to acquire the remaining shares in Torre which it did not already own.
ThisresultedintheshareholdinginTorreincreasingfrom33.86%to55.38%,aswellasasignificantdecreaseintheaverage
cost price of this investment. As a consequence of the disposal of Torre’s remaining 55% shareholding in Kanu Equipment
Ltd during the last quarter of 2016, which comprises the majority of Torre’s non-South African operations, a strategic review
on the future of Torre is being undertaken. The results of this review are anticipated to be announced along with Torre’s
interim results on or about 28 February 2017.
The acquisition of a 100% interest in Amalgamated Electronic Corporation Ltd (“Amecor”) during October 2016 was a notable
highlight of the year under review. Normalised EBITDA for the 6 months ended 30 September 2016 of R25.5 million exceeded
budget by 19% and was 29% ahead of the prior comparative period. The business is well positioned to continue to grow its
earnings at these rates for the foreseeable future.
Tellumat’s group profits from operations before depreciation and amortisation weakened from R34.9 million in 2015 to
R17.1million in 2016 as strongprofit contribution from theAir TrafficManagement divisionwasmore than offset bypoor
trading performance in the Integrated Solutions division, which saw large customer spending curtailed, and Grand Tellumat
Manufacturing,whichwassignificantlynegativelyimpactedbythemanufacturingportionofGovernment’sdigitalmigration
rollout being put on hold. The Defence division also experienced project execution delays.

increased to 55.4% on or about 14 October 2016 as a result of a mandatory offer to acquire all issued Torre ordinary shares not
already held by Stellar Capital, on the basis of the same swap ratio, and was settled by way of the issue of 130 934 036 Stellar
Capital shares at R1.33 per share.
The investment has been valued at the closing quoted market price of R2.44 per share on 30 November 2016 (R5.14 per share
on 30 November 2015, which was based on the 30-day VWAP plus a market premium of 16.8%). The total unrealised fair value

amount was recognised by Stellar Capital. In conjunction with this restructure, the remaining loan balance of R647.7 million as
at 30 June 2016 owing by SSL to Stellar Capital was capitalised into an equity contribution by way of an issue of shares by SSL.
SSL is a credit fund and, as such, the investment is valued at the estimated net asset value (“NAV”) of SSL, being primarily
derived from the value of the loan portfolio (after any impairments) less liabilities.
Subsequent to the equity investment being recognised by Stellar Capital, SSL has returned R232 million of capital by way of
dividends, resulting in a corresponding reduction in NAV and therefore the recognition of unrealised fair value losses of the
same amount.
Subsequent to year-end, SSL has returned an additonal R154.7 million of capital by way of dividends.

AMALGAMATED ELECTRONIC CORPORATION LTD
The investment in Amecor was acquired on or about 13 October 2016 and the purchase consideration was settled by way of
the issue of 5 995 526 ordinary shares in the Company at a price of R1.90 per share and a cash payment of R257.2 million,
collectively comprising a total acquisition price of R268.6 million, being R3.80 per Amecor share.
As at 30 November 2016 the fair value of the investment in Amecor has been estimated by management using the sustainable
earnings model. Management considers the EV/EBITDA multiple to be the most appropriate valuation method.
Significant unobservable inputs/assumptions:
• Sustainable EBITDA of R50.6 million
• EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.1 times
The EV/EBITDA multiple represents a discount of 3% to the 3 year trailing peer group average of 7.3 times and a 5% premium
to the spot peer group average of 6.7 times as at 30 November 2016.
The reasonability of the estimated fair value of the investment has been tested by reference to a discounted cash flow model,
using the following inputs/assumptions:
• Weighted average cost of capital of 17.1%
• Terminal growth rate of 2.5%
TELLUMAT (PTY) LTD
During the year under review, the investment in Tellumat was increased from 30% to 100% by way of further cash acquisitions
of R166.7 million and by way of the issue of 5 631 007 new Stellar Capital ordinary shares at an agreed upon price of R2.30 per
share in March 2016.
In October 2016 Stellar Capital disposed of 51.1% of its investment in Tellumat to Masimong Technologies (Pty) Ltd (“Masimong
Technologies”) for R180.3 million on a vendor funded basis in an empowerment transaction. Whilst the transaction price implies
a total equity value of R352.9 million and results in an initial realised gain on disposal of R37.3 million, it is subject to a downward
adjustment in the event that the disposal price exceeds 7 times the normalised EBITDA of Tellumat for the 12-month period
ending 30 June 2017 (“Masimong Transaction Price”).
As at 30 November 2016 the fair value of the investment in Tellumat has been estimated at R124.3 million by management using
the sustainable earnings model, resulting in an unrealised fair value loss of R12.5 million. Management considers the EV/EBITDA
multiple to be the most appropriate valuation method.
Significant unobservable inputs/assumptions:
• Sustainable EBITDA of R35.2 million
• EV/EBITDA multiple of 6.2 times
The EV/EBITDA multiple represents a discount of 15% to the 3 year trailing peer group average of 7.3 times and an 8% discount
to the spot peer group average of 6.7 times as at 30 November 2016.
Included in the valuation of Tellumat is an estimated R37.6 million excess working capital.

STELLAR INTERNATIONAL LTD (“STELLAR INTERNATIONAL”)
The functional currency of Stellar International is the US Dollar. Stellar International was incorporated in Mauritius and provided
with a shareholder loan of $2.2 million (converted at spot to R30.3 million) in October 2016, of which $1 million was used to
acquire a 2% stake in LifeQ Global Ltd (“LifeQ”), denominated in US Dollars, and $0.8 million to acquire a 2% stake in Tictrac Ltd
(“Tictrac”), denominated in British Pounds. The balance of cash is to be used for working capital purposes.
As at 30 November 2016 the fair value of the investment in Stellar International has been estimated by management using the
price of recent investment valuation method. Management considers this to be the most appropriate valuation method as both

rates on 30 November 2016, along with the balance of cash, resulting in a small unrealised fair value loss.
STELLAR CREDIT (PTY) LTD
Stellar Credit, the appointed manager of the SSL loan portfolio as well as the Inyosi Enterprise and Supplier Development Funds,
was acquired as a wholly-owned subsidiary in January 2016 for R5 million in a cash acquisition. Shortly thereafter Stellar Credit
declared a cash dividend from excess capital of R2.5 million, resulting in a fair valuation downward adjustment by the same
amount. The acquisition price was determined with reference to the realisable underlying assets (market approach).
As at 30 November 2016 the fair value of the investment in Stellar Credit has been estimated by management using the sus-
tainable earnings model resulting in a R5.4 million unrealised fair value gain. Management considers the P/E multiple to be the
