Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the Shareholders of Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc:

Management has prepared the information and representations in this interim report. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and, where appropriate, these statements include some amounts that are based on best estimates and judgment. Management has determined such amounts on a reasonable basis in order to ensure that the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects.

The accompanying Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) also includes information regarding the impact of current transactions, sources of liquidity, capital resources, operating trends, risks and uncertainties. Actual results in the future may differ materially from our present assessment of this information because future events and circumstances may not occur as expected.

The Group maintains adequate systems of internal accounting and administrative controls, within reasonable cost. Such systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance that relevant and reliable financial information are produced.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”). Any system of ICFR, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

At March 31, 2019 management evaluated the effectiveness of the Group’s ICFR and concluded that such ICFR was effective.

The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, is responsible for ensuring that management fulfils its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control. The Audit Committee is composed of three independent directors. This Committee meets periodically with management and the external auditor to review accounting, auditing, internal control and financial reporting matters.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been audited by the Group’s auditor.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2019 were approved by the Board of Directors and signed on its behalf on May 14, 2019.

2 Basis for preparation

i) Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB have been omitted or condensed. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the financial position and performance of the Group since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

ii) Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for:

•	equity-settled share-based payment arrangements measured at fair value on grant date;

•	cash-settled share-based payment arrangements measured at fair value on grant and re-measurement dates; and

•	derivative financial instruments measured at fair value.

iii) Functional currency

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“$”), which is also the functional currency of the Company. All financial information presented in United States dollars have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless indicated otherwise. Refer to note 11 for changes to the RTGS$ currency and the effect thereof on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

3 Use of accounting assumptions, estimates and judgements

In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, management has made accounting assumptions, estimates and judgements that affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

5 Blanket Zimbabwe Indigenisation Transaction

On February 20, 2012 the Group announced it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) with the Minister of Youth, Development, Indigenisation and Empowerment of the Government of Zimbabwe pursuant to which the Group agreed that indigenous Zimbabweans would acquire an effective 51% ownership interest in the Zimbabwean company owning the Blanket Mine (also referred to herein as “Blanket” or “Blanket Mine” as the context requires) for a paid transactional value of $30.09 million. Pursuant to the above, members of the Group entered into agreements with each indigenous shareholder to transfer 51% of the Group’s ownership interest in Blanket Mine whereby it:

•	sold a 16% interest to the National Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Fund (“NIEEF”) for $11.74 million;

•	sold a 15% interest to Fremiro Investments (Private) Limited (“Fremiro”), which is owned by indigenous Zimbabweans, for $11.01 million;

•	sold a 10% interest to Blanket Employee Trust Services (Private) Limited (“BETS”) for the benefit of present and future managers and employees for $7.34 million. The shares in BETS are held by the Blanket Mine Employee Trust (“Employee Trust”) with Blanket Mine’s employees holding participation units in the Employee Trust; and

•

donated a 10% ownership interest to the Gwanda Community Share Ownership Trust (“Community Trust”). In addition, Blanket Mine paid a non-refundable donation of $1 million to the Community Trust.

The Group facilitated the vendor funding of these transactions which is repaid by way of dividends from Blanket Mine. 80% of dividends declared by Blanket Mine are used to repay such loans and the remaining 20% unconditionally accrues to the respective indigenous shareholders. Following a modification to the interest rate on June 23, 2017, outstanding balances on these facilitation loans attract interest at a rate of the lower of a fixed 7.25% per annum payable quarterly or 80% of the Blanket Mine dividend in the quarter. The timing of the repayment of the loans depends on the future financial performance of Blanket Mine and the extent of future dividends declared by Blanket Mine. The facilitation loans relating to the Group were transferred as dividends in specie intra Group and now the loans and most of the interest thereon is payable to the Company.

5 Blanket Zimbabwe Indigenisation Transaction (continued)

On November 5, 2018 the Company and Fremiro entered into a sale agreement for Caledonia to purchase Femiro’s 15% shareholding in Blanket Mine. As at the date of approval of these financial statements the transaction remained subject to, amongst other things, approvals from various Zimbabwean regulatory authorities to be effective. In terms of the sale agreement, the Company plans to issue 727,266 shares at $7.15 per share to Fremiro for the cancellation of their facilitation loan which stood at $11,466 as at June 30, 2018 and the purchase of their 15% shareholding in Blanket Mine, increasing the Company’s total shareholding in Blanket Mine to 64%. The Company will continue to consolidate Blanket Mine in the consolidated financial statements after the transaction becomes effective.

Accounting treatment

The directors of Caledonia Holdings Zimbabwe (Private) Limited (“CHZ”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, performed a re-assessment, using the requirements of IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10), and concluded that CHZ should continue to consolidate Blanket Mine after the indigenisation and accordingly the subscription agreements with the indigenous shareholders have been accounted for as a transaction with non-controlling interests and as a share based payment transaction.

The subscription agreements, concluded on February 20, 2012, were accounted for as follows:

•	Non-controlling interests (“NCI”) were recognised on the portion of shareholding upon which dividends declared by Blanket Mine will accrue unconditionally to equity holders as follows:

	(a)	20% of the 16% shareholding of NIEEF;

(b)

20% of the 15% shareholding of Fremiro; and

	(c)	100% of the 10% shareholding of the Community Trust.

•	This effectively means that NCI is recognised at 16.2% of the net assets of Blanket Mine.

•	The remaining 80% of the shareholding of NIEEF and Fremiro is recognised as non-controlling interests to the extent that their attributable share of the net asset value of Blanket Mine exceeds the balance on the facilitation loans including interest. At March 31, 2019 the attributable net asset value did not exceed the balance on the respective loan accounts and thus no additional NCI was recognised.

•

The transaction with BETS is accounted for in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits (profit sharing arrangement) as the ownership of the shares does not ultimately pass to the employees. The employees are entitled to participate in 20% of the dividends accruing to the 10% shareholding in Blanket Mine if they are employed at the date of such distribution. To the extent that 80% of the attributable dividends exceed the balance on the BETS facilitation loan they will accrue to the employees at the date of such declaration.

•

The Employee Trust and BETS are entities effectively controlled and consolidated by Blanket Mine. Accordingly, the shares held by BETS are effectively treated as treasury shares in Blanket Mine and no NCI is recognised.

5 Blanket Zimbabwe Indigenisation Transaction (continued)

Amendments to the facilitation and advanced dividend loan agreements

Interest modification

On June 23, 2017, the Group, Blanket Mine and the indigenous shareholders of Blanket Mine reached agreement to change the interest terms of the facilitation and advanced dividend loan agreements. The agreements changed the interest rate from the previously agreed 12 month LIBOR plus 10% to the lower of a fixed 7.25% per annum, payable quarterly or 80% of the Blanket Mine dividend in the quarter. The modification was considered beneficial to the indigenous shareholders and gave rise to an equity-settled share-based expense of $806 on June 23, 2017 when all parties reached agreement to modify the interest charged. It was agreed that the interest change was to be applied to the facilitation and advanced dividend loan balances from January 1, 2017.

Dividend and interest moratorium

Blanket Mine suspended dividend payments from January 1, 2015 until August 1, 2016 to facilitate capital expenditure on the Blanket Mine investment plan. As a result, the repayments of facilitation loans by the indigenous shareholders were also suspended. A moratorium was placed on the interest of the facilitation and advanced dividend loans until such time as dividends resumed. Due to the suspension of dividends and the moratorium on interest, no repayments were made or interest accumulated from December 31, 2014 until July 31, 2016. The dividends and interest resumed on August 1, 2016, when Blanket Mine declared a dividend. The amendment was not considered beneficial to the indigenous shareholders.

~ Accounted for under IAS19 Employee Benefits.

# Facilitation loans are accounted for as equity instruments and are accordingly not recognised as loans receivable.

Advance dividends

In anticipation of completion of the underlying subscription agreements, Blanket Mine agreed to an advance dividend arrangements with NIEEF and the Community Trust as follows:

Advances made to the Community Trust against their right to receive dividends declared by Blanket Mine on their shareholding as follows:

•	a $2 million payment on or before September 30, 2012;

•	a $1 million payment on or before February 28, 2013; and

•	a $1 million payment on or before April 30, 2013.

These advance payments were debited to a loan account bearing interest at a rate at the lower of a fixed 7.25% per annum, payable quarterly or the Blanket Mine dividend in the quarter to the advanced dividend loan holder. The loan is repayable by way of set off of future dividends on the Blanket Mine shares owned by the Community Trust. Advances made to NIEEF as an advanced dividend loan before 2013 have been settled through Blanket Mine dividend repayments in 2014.

The advance dividend payments were recognised as distributions to shareholders and they are classified as equity instruments. The loans arising are not recognised as loans receivable, because repayment is by way of uncertain future dividends.

The movement in the advance dividend loan to the Community Trust is reconciled as follows:

	2019		2018
Balance at January 1,		2,053		2,606
Dividends used to repay advance dividends		-		(200	)

Government grant – Gold sale export incentive

From May 2016 the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (“RBZ”) announced an export credit incentive (“ECI”) on the gold proceeds received for all large-scale gold mine producers. On January 1, 2018 the ECI decreased from 3,5% to 2,5% and on February 1, 2018, increased to 10%. Cash receipts of the ECI were received in Blanket’s RTGS$ account. In the monetary policy statement issued on February 20, 2019 the RBZ announced the cancellation of the ECI.

Government grants – Enhanced gold price

Blanket is contractually entitled to receive the London bullion market association gold price which is fixed in the afternoon of the day after the bullion delivered by Blanket to Fidelity Printers and Refiners (Pvt) Ltd (“Fidelity”) has been assayed (“LBMA fixed price”). In terms of the contract with Fidelity, 55% of Blanket’s proceeds are received as US Dollars and the remainder is received as RTGS$. The amount of RTGS$ to be received is calculated at the mid-price of the RTGS$/US Dollar interbank exchange rate. From March 6, 2019 Blanket received an additional amount over and above the LBMA fixed price in the same ratio of US Dollars to RTGS$ as its contractual cash flows. No formal communication has been received from Fidelity or the RBZ as to the terms, conditions and tax treatment of these additional receipts. All government grants were fully received at the date of issue of these financial statements.

On May 31, 2018 the Group entered into an amended share sale agreement with SH Mineral Investments Proprietary Limited (“SH Minerals”) to sell the shares and claims of Eersteling Gold Mining Company Limited (“Eersteling”), a South African subsidiary previously consolidated as part of the Group, that has been on care and maintenance since 1997. The amended share sale agreement allowed for a purchase price of $3 million which will be settled by three payments of $1 million payable on the completion date, 12 and 18 months after the completion date. On January 31, 2019 all suspensive conditions for the sale were met, ZAR13.9 million ($1 million) was received as payment towards the purchase price and the Group transferred the registered and beneficial ownership of Eersteling to SH Minerals.

(a) Restricted Share Units and Performance Units

Certain key management members were granted Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) and Performance Units (”PUs”) pursuant to provisions of the 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan. All RSUs and PUs were granted and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

RSUs vest three years after grant date given that the service condition of the relevant employees have been fulfilled. The value of the vested RSUs is the number of RSUs vested multiplied by the fair market value of the Company’s shares, as specified by the plan, on date of settlement.

PUs have a service condition and a performance period of three years. The performance condition is based on key business metrics and includes production cost, gold production and/or central shaft depth targets. The number of PUs that vest will be the PUs granted multiplied by the Performance Multiplier, which will reflect the actual performance in terms of the performance conditions compared to expectations on the date of the award.

RSU holders are entitled to receive dividends over the vesting period. Such dividends will be reinvested in additional RSUs at the then applicable share price calculated at the average Bank of Canada rate immediately preceding the dividend payment. PUs have rights to dividends only after they have vested.

On January 11, 2019 and March 23, 2019 81,614 RSUs and 324,694 PUs vested. These RSUs and PUs were settled by a cash payment of $1,221 and by the issue of 146,751 shares to the value of $893.

The fair value of the RSU liability, at the reporting date, was based on the Black Scholes option valuation model. The fair value of the PU liability, at the reporting date, was based on the Black Scholes option valuation model less the fair value of the expected dividends during the vesting period multiplied by the performance multiplier expectation. At the reporting date the PU performance multiplier was estimated at between 93-100% when calculating the liability. The liability as at March 31, 2019 amounted to $343 (December 31, 2018: $2,043). Included in the liability as at March 31, 2019 is an amount of $68 (March 31, 2018: $15) that was expensed and classified as production costs; refer to note 6.

(b) Caledonia Mining South Africa employee incentive scheme

During July 2017 and August 2018, Caledonia Mining South Africa Proprietary Limited granted 37,330 and 5,918 awards respectively to certain of its employees that entitle them to a cash pay-out at the Company’s share price on November 30, each year over a 3 year period from the grant date. The cash-settled share-based payment liability was calculated based on the number of awards expected to vest multiplied by the Company’s Black Scholes option valuation fair value of £4.60 at the reporting date and apportioned for the quantity vested over the total vesting period. The liability relating to these cash-settled share-based payment awards amounted to $62 (December 31, 2017: $47) and the expense amounted to $15 (March 31, 2018: $26) for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of the cash-settled share-based payment liability for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

11 Net foreign exchange gain

On October 1, 2018 the RBZ issued a directive to Zimbabwean banks to separate foreign currency from RTGS$ on the accounts held by their clients and pegged the RTGS$ at 1:1 to the US Dollar. On February 20, 2019 the RBZ issued a further monetary policy statement, which allowed inter-bank trading between RTGS$ and foreign currency. The interbank rate was introduced at 2.5 RTGS$ to 1 US Dollar and traded at 3.0013 RTGS$ to 1 US Dollar as at March 31, 2019. Throughout these announcements and to the date of issue of these financial statements the US Dollar has remained the primary currency in which the Group’s Zimbabwean entities operate and the functional currency of these entities. The table below illustrates the effect the weakening of the RTGS$ and other non-RTGS$ currencies had, against the US Dollar, on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income per monetary asset and liability. Post quarter end the RTGS$ continued to weaken against the US Dollar.

12 Gold hedge

On January 10, 2019 the Company entered into a hedge in respect of 4,500 ounces of gold per month from February to June 2019. The hedge protects the Company if the gold price falls below $1,250 per ounce and was entered into by the Company for economic hedging purposes to ensure sufficient cash availability for Blanket’s capital investment plan, not as a speculative investment. The total cost of the derivative contract amounted was $324.

17 Operating Segments

The Group's operating segments have been identified based on geographic areas. The strategic business units are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing strategies. For each of the strategic business units, the Group’s CEO reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis. Zimbabwe and South Africa describe the operations of the Group's reportable segments. The Zimbabwe operating segment comprises Caledonia Holdings Zimbabwe (Private) Limited and subsidiaries. The South Africa geographical segment comprises a gold mine, that is on care and maintenance (and now sold), as well as sales made by Caledonia Mining South Africa Proprietary Limited to the Blanket Mine. The holding company (Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc) and Greenstone Management Services Holdings Limited (a UK company) responsible for administrative functions within the group are taken into consideration in the strategic decision-making process of the CEO and are therefore included in the disclosure below. Reconciling amounts do not represent a separate segment. Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit before income tax, as included in the internal management report that are reviewed by the Group's CEO. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries.
