Now that we have completed the introduction lets take a closer look. Major questions how do you justify the word Niche Market, when it is Directors acquiring shelf companies, or acquiring companies already established by other directors? How do you do due diligence on a shelf company and who justifies the price?
Ecsponent Limited is a specialist financial services Group of companies. The Group generates wealth through investment in financial and private equity assets in specific niche market sectors
DUE DILIGENCE: We adhere to a strict investment structure whereby there is a clear segregation of duties and ring-fencing of investments for the benefit of all our investors.

Notes: Was this company created for tax avoidance, as write off debt, or another misstatement in the accounting records, creating the illusion of a destressed debt book?

INVEST SOLAR: Invest Solar – Havara Solar plant (Registration Number BW00001381192) acquired 70% by ECS Private Equity registered on the 03rd of March 2017 Re registered in 2020 , 90 million shares held within company – Majority Ecsponent Botswana Limited , now known as Ecsponent Equity Botswana Limited holds 63 million – MHMK Group Botswana holds 4 million -Garekwe Dudu holds 2 million shares – Makacana Tebogo holds 1 million shares – Jyrki Ilmari Koskelo holds 10 million shares- Walter Kambwanji holds 2.5 million- Dirk Harbecke holds 2.5 million shares – Brian Chindondondo holds 1.5 million shares – Julian Thatcher holds 2.25 million – Thembelihle Munowenyo holds 1.25 million shares. Ecsponent Limited invests R90.8 million into Invest Solar during on 29 June 2018 for 80%, Page 5 of 10 in the Directors Report. The first time they appear on the balance sheet is in 2020 as 70% held. 2020 Financials they make a loss of R40 193 988.00 a R40 million rand loss. In 2021, they make an additional R33 426 993 Loss. This company has actually cost Investors over R160 million???? There is a discrepancy overlapping the 2020 and 2021 Financial report – 2020 R40million loss reflected on the 2021 as R53 056 064.00 a difference of over R12 862 076. – Could this be a misstatement or just another auditing error to create lager debt as an excuse to convert debt into equity???.*** The eXess Africal and George Beukes saga continues, Havara Plant belongs to Old Mutual and others-There is an active application for Liquidation to the Havara Plant.***
Notes: As per our records we actually own 70%, not as reflected in their Directors Report 80%, continuous misstatements to create a better asset reflection when acquitting assets.
How is this a viable asset when funds are leaking spewing out of the company year after year, with promises made by directors that this is a sustainable company there to create wealth for investors, the company has cost the investors over R170 million?
Areo a French company appointed to do the CO2 emission report has not been paid, had to actually leave the site, however Invest Solar insists on using all their information on the website of Areo, same photos, same information.

Ecsponent will acquire a further 19.25% of the common shares of Crosscorn from SATF, in exchange for the issue of 101.3 million Ecsponent shares @.14 Cent = a value of R14 182 000.00
Financial Information of Crosscorn : Ecsponent pays R34 902 000.00 for 45%
The net asset value of Crosscorn as at 30 June 2019 was BWP860 068 and the profit after tax for the year ended 30 June 2019 was BWP633 254.

The outstanding Cash Consideration will bear interest at a rate of 9.75% per annum until the date of settlement, with interest payable on a monthly basis. : The company showed assets value of BWP633 254
16 APRIL 2020
Shareholders are hereby advised that, due to current market conditions including the COVID-19 pandemic, the Agreement has been cancelled and the Transaction will not proceed, however, the parties will continue discussions while monitoring market conditions.
Fast forward to 2022, they did a pathetic monitoring of the market conditions as they offer more money for a company reaching the bottom pit.
07 APRIL 2022
The board of directors of Afristrat is pleased to advise shareholders that with effect from 6 April 2022 (‘effective date’) Afristrat’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ECS PrivateEquity Proprietary Limited entered into a binding term sheet to acquire, , 100% of Crosscorn Proprietary Limited together with a distressed loan asset pool from SATF for a total purchase price of USD5 000 000
In accordance with the Term Sheet, the Purchase Price shall be settled by a combination of debt and equity, by the issuance of Domestic Medium-Term Notes to the value of USD3 500 000 – R51 800 000.00 and ordinary shares of Afristrat to the value of USD1,500,000 to SATF.= R23 272 800 to SATF.= shares issued 19 394 000*** 19/05/2022 The value of shares are now at .19 cent = R3 515 000 - from R 22 200 000.00 not bad!!!***
As the Notes and Shares are denominated in South African Rand, the Purchase Price shall be paid in the equivalent amount to the nearest ZAR100 calculated on the day of issuance
The terms of the Notes: Each Note shall be listed on the securities exchange operated by the JSE Limited and will be issued for a term of 4 years from the date of issue thereof and will be repayable in full in one amount at maturity “Redemption Date” : These notes have been exempted from the “Conversion to Equity plan” as per sens document 13/05/2022.
The Notes will be unsecured, will bear an interest rate of 9% p.a. payable semi-annually in arrears. Each Note will be freely transferrable by the registered owner thereof.
Financial Information
The financial information for Crosscorn is set out as follows: The value of the audited net liability of Crosscorn that is the subject of the Acquisition as at 30 June 2021 was BWP17.1 million; and the audited loss after tax attributable to the net assets for the year ended 30 June 2021 was BWP8.9 million.
Notes: With SATF holding these shares, with the shares held by George Manyere and Tertius de Kock, the conversion is with certainty going to proceed. The Note holders will have no significant say.
How do the Directors including the Financial Director justify paying over R80Million for a company that had asset value of BWP860 068 June 2019, to net liability of BWP17.1 million, and net assets of BWP8.9 million once you remove the assets from the liabilities you are left with a tangible loss of BWP8.2 million?
How would it be possible to move in a strategic road forward creating sustainable growth within a company with transactions like this?
