Caledonia Mining Corporation

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009

(in thousands of Canadian Dollars)   


Nature of Business


The Corporation is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and operation of mineral properties for the exploitation of base and precious metals.  The ability of the Corporation to recover the amounts shown for its capital assets and mineral properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves; the ability of the Corporation to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration and development; and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of such capital assets and mineral properties.


The Corporation operates in a number of countries and accordingly its assets in these countries, including its interests in gold properties in South Africa and Zimbabwe, may be subject to sovereign risks, including political and economic instability, government regulations relating to mining, currency fluctuations and inflation, all or any of which may impede the Corporation's activities in a particular country or may result in the impairment or loss of part or all of the Corporation's interest in these properties.


Basis of Presentation and Going Concern


These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Caledonia Mining Corporation (“Caledonia” or the “Corporation”) have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada ("Canadian GAAP") for interim financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP have been condensed or excluded. As a result, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all disclosures required to be included in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates that the Corporation will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon continuing profitable operations, realising proceeds from the disposal of mineral properties and obtaining sufficient financing to meet its liabilities, its obligations with respect to operating expenditures and expenditures required on its mineral properties and on the Blanket mine.


Significant Accounting Policies:

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared following accounting policies consistent with the Corporation's audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008, except for the following changes in accounting policies:


Adoption of New Accounting Standards

a. Goodwill and intangible assets


In February 2008, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) issued Section 3064 Goodwill and intangible assets, replacing Section 3062, Goodwill and other intangible assets.  The new Section will be applicable to financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008.  Accordingly, the Corporation has adopted the new standards for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009.  It establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible assets by profit-oriented enterprises.  Standards concerning goodwill are unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section 3062.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

Caledonia Mining Corporation

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009

(in thousands of Canadian Dollars)   

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements issued and not yet effective


International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period. In February 2008 the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for public accountable companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada's own GAAP. The transition date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Caledonia is assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011 and used the services of an independent consultant to produce an Impact Assessment Report. This report sets out the preliminary assessment of the potential impact of Caledonia’s conversion from Canadian GAAP to IFRS and is based on Caledonia’s publicly reported financial information for the year ended 31 December 2008.

The areas that require additional work and quantitative evaluation are:

·

Business combinations

·

Deemed cost on property, plant and equipment

·

Decommissioning liabilities

·

Exploration and evaluation assets


Ongoing assessments will be performed to prepare Caledonia for the production of the opening IFRS balance sheet as at January 1, 2010.


Business Combinations


In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Sections 1582 – Business Combinations, 1601 – Consolidated Financial Statements and 1602 – Non-controlling Interests which replace CICA Handbook Sections 1581 – Business Combinations and 1600 – Consolidated Financial Statements.  Section 1582 establishes standards for the accounting for business combinations that is equivalent to the business combination accounting standard under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  Section 1582 is applicable for the Corporation’s business combinations with acquisition dates on or after January 1, 2011.  Early adoption of this Section is permitted.  Section 1601 together with Section 1602 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.  Section 1601 is applicable for the Corporation’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011.  Early adoption of this Section is permitted.  If the Corporation chooses to early adopt any one of these Sections, the other two sections must also be adopted at the same time.


Other Existing Accounting Policies


Inventories


These would include gold in circuit (WIP) and bulk consumable stores.  WIP is valued at the lower of the cost of production, on an average basis, at the various stages of production or net realisable value if the cost of production exceeds the current gold price.  Bulk consumable stores are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value on an average basis.

Caledonia Mining Corporation

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009

(in thousands of Canadian Dollars)  



Capital Assets


Producing Assets

Producing assets are recorded at cost less grants, accumulated amortization, and write-downs.  Producing plant and equipment assets are amortized using the unit-of-production method on the ratio of tonnes of ore mined or processed to the estimated proven and probable mineral reserves as defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum.  


Other producing assets are amortized using the straight line method basis on the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The estimated life of the producing assets ranges up to 10 years.  Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations; major improvements and replacements which extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and

amortized over the remaining useful life of that asset.  Eersteling Gold Mine remains for sale and is thus presented as an asset for sale in these consolidated financial statements.


Non-Producing Assets

Non-producing assets are recorded at cost less write downs.  At the time of commercial production, the assets are reclassified as producing.  During non-producing periods, no amortization is recorded on plant and equipment but vehicles and computer equipment continue to be amortized.


Assets held for sale and discontinued operations


In 2007 the decision was taken to sell Eersteling Gold Mining Corporation that had been on care and maintenance since 1997.



The components held for sale are as follows:

As a consequence of this decision Eersteling Mine’s results for 2009 and preceding years are disclosed under discontinued operations.  Revenue from discontinued operations is $Nil ($Nil in 2008 and $61 in 2007).  There is no tax applicable to discontinued operations.


Mineral Properties


Producing Properties

When and if properties are placed in production, the applicable capitalized costs are amortized using the unit-of-production method as described above.  Blanket Mine was acquired during 2006 and has been consolidated into these results from July 1, 2006 and, as such, has been presented as a producing asset in these consolidated financial statements.

Caledonia Mining Corporation

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009

(in thousands of Canadian Dollars)  



Non-Producing Properties


Costs relating to the acquisition, exploration, and development of non-producing resource properties which are held by the Corporation or through its participation in joint ventures are capitalized until such time as either economically recoverable reserves are established or the properties are sold or abandoned.

A decision to abandon, reduce or expand activity on a specific project is based upon many factors including general and specific assessments of mineral reserves, anticipated future mineral prices, anticipated costs of developing and operating a producing mine, the expiration date of mineral property leases, and the general likelihood that the Corporation will continue exploration on the project.  However, based on the results at the conclusion of each phase of an exploration program, properties that are not suitable as prospects are re-evaluated to determine if future exploration is warranted and that carrying values are appropriate.


The ultimate recovery of these costs depends on the discovery and development of economic ore reserves or the sale of the properties or the mineral rights.  The amounts shown for non-producing resource properties do not necessarily reflect present or future values.


Foreign Currency Translation


Balances of the Corporation denominated in foreign currencies and the accounts of its foreign subsidiaries, except Blanket Mine, are translated into Canadian Dollars using the temporal method as follows:

(i)

monetary assets and liabilities at period end rates;

(ii)

all other assets and liabilities at historical rates; and

(iii)

revenue and expense transactions at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.


Exchange gains or losses arising on these translations are reflected in income in the year incurred.




Blanket is a self-sustaining operation and operates in Zimbabwe in what was a hyper inflationary economy.  Due to the dollarization of the economy in February, 2009 the hyper inflationary environment no longer exists.  Accordingly the results of these operations are now translated into Canadian Dollars using the current rate method.  On January 1, 2009 Blanket’s functional currency also changed to US Dollars following the Monetary Policy announcement introducing the use of foreign currency in Zimbabwe for all forms of trade and business.  The assets and liabilities of a self-sustaining foreign operation are translated at the rate in effect at the balance sheet date for purposes of incorporation in the financial statements of Caledonia and, therefore, an exchange gain or loss will arise when the exchange rate changes.  This exchange gain or loss has no direct effect on the activities of Caledonia.  It is inappropriate to incorporate this exchange gain or loss in net income of Caledonia in the period in which it arises; rather, it is reported in the financial statements as a separate component of shareholders' equity and is disclosed as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income during the period.  In summary the current rate method is as follows:

(i)

all assets and liabilities at rates at balance sheet date; and

(ii)

revenue and expense transactions at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.


Foreign exchange loss or profit arising on the translation of revenue and expense items is disclosed in income in the period incurred.

Included in the statement of operations, for the nine month period ended September 30, is an exchange gain of $328 (loss $1,752 – 2008 and loss $1,468 - 2007).  Due to the translation of Blanket Mine a loss of $330 (Nil 2008) has been disclosed under accumulated other comprehensive income.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of Canadian Dollars unless otherwise indicated and except for share and per share amounts)



1.

Investments


On May 9, 2002, the Corporation participated in a private placement of the purchase of shares of Motapa Diamonds Inc. (“Motapa”) at a cost of $79.  The shares of Motapa were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada prior to Motapa being acquired by Lucara (LUC.V)  In terms of the transaction one Motapa share was exchanged for 0.9055 Lucara shares


The adoption of CICA Handbook Sections 3855 and 1530, retrospectively from January 1, 2007, determines that the Corporation records its investments in Lucara Diamond Corp. and in Old Mutual Plc as financial instruments “available for sale” and they are thus recorded at fair value.


The fair value of the investment in Lucara is $42 ($9 -2008) and the fair value of the shares held in Old Mutual Plc is $5 ($3 – 2008).

The Corporation had entered into strategic alliances with a third party on a Zambian property (Mulonga) valued at $0 ($1,044 – 2008).  The Zambian strategic alliance partner, Motapa Diamonds Inc., has terminated the strategic alliance agreement.  The Corporation has applied for a retention licence over the properties.  All interest in the strategic alliance will be transferred to the Corporation by Motapa Diamonds Inc.  As a consequence of the current economic climate, lack of exploration in the past 2 years and no planned expenditure for 2009, the Mulonga property was fully written down to $Nil at December 31, 2008.  It is still the Corporation’s intention to form a joint venture with a new strategic partner.


(3)

Due to the current economic climate, lack of exploration expenditure in the past 2 years, no planned expenditure for 2009 and the fact that prospecting licences are still to be granted, the Goedgevonden property was written down to $Nil at December 31, 2008.


The recoverability of the carrying amount of the South African and Zambian mineral properties is dependent upon the availability of sufficient funding to bring the properties into commercial production, the price of the products to be recovered, the exchange rate of the local currency relative to the US Dollar and the undertaking of profitable mining operations.  As a result of these uncertainties, the actual amount recovered may vary significantly from the carrying amount.

Stock Option Plans and Stock-Based Compensation


The Corporation has established incentive stock option plans (the "Plans") for employees, officers, directors, consultants and other service providers.  Under the Plans, as at September 30, 2009, the Corporation has the following options outstanding:

The options to purchase common shares noted above, have been granted to directors, officers, employees and service providers at exercise prices determined by reference to the market value of the common shares on the date of grant.  The vesting of options is made at the discretion of the board of directors at the time the options are granted.


It was announced in a press release on September 4, 2009 that the Board has approved a proposal to reduce the exercise price of 32,580,000 share purchase options currently outstanding from exercise prices averaging approximately $0.1706 per share to $0.07 per share.  These share purchase options are in favour of directors, officers and service providers.  This reduction recognises the fact that the existing options are all substantially “out of the money” due to the reduced trading price of Caledonia’s shares which, in common with most other publicly traded shares, has been adversely affected by the recent economic and market downturn.  The existing option arrangements no longer provide an incentive to directors, officers and service providers and is the reason for this proposal.  The Toronto Stock Exchange rules require that options with reduced exercise prices cannot be exercised at the reduced prices until the reduction has been approved by the shareholders.  The reduction will be submitted to the shareholders for approval at the next general meeting of Caledonia’s shareholders.

Included in accounts receivable is an amount owing by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (“RBZ”) of $2,890 ($2,890 – 2008) for gold sold, plus interest accrued, during 2008. This value is the estimated fair value as calculated at December 31, 2008. The face value of the capital plus interest owing by RBZ at September 30,2009 is $3,271.  In the monetary policy statement announced by the Governor of the RBZ in February 2009, this debt was converted into a Special Tradable Gold-Backed Foreign Exchange Bond, with a term of 12 months and an 8% interest rate.  This bond can be sold to any interested party locally, regionally or internationally at an agreed to time maturity discount.  This bond plus interest is guaranteed by RBZ on maturity on February 1, 2010.


At September 30, 2009 the Corporation has disclosed this receivable as a current asset at its estimated fair value.  The receivable was written down to the estimated fair value at December 31, 2008.  Due to the subsequent conversion of the receivable into a bond, the fair value was estimated by applying a risk premium of 18% to the bond value as if converted at the year end.  It was the intention of the Corporation to sell the bond before maturity but due to a lack of a market in these bonds, the Corporation classified the receivable as long term, as at December 31, 2008, based on the legal term of the bond to January 31, 2010.

Contingent Liability


In the Share Sale Agreement dated May 12, 2006 pursuant to which the Corporation purchased 100% of the shares of Blanket, the Corporation agreed that it would, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing of the Agreement, cause Blanket to implement a share incentive scheme considered by the Directors to be in the best interests of Blanket, pursuant to which a percentage of the shares of Blanket will be deposited in a Trust for the benefit of the management and employees of Blanket.  As at September 30, 2009 no scheme had been established, nor were any shares of Blanket deposited in a Trust for the purposes of such a scheme.  The Corporation and the Board of Directors of Blanket have delayed the establishment of the required scheme pending clarity of the anticipated Zimbabwe laws relating to the indigenization of the mining industry, as it is recognized that the Zimbabwean laws will




17











Caledonia Mining Corporation

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of Canadian Dollars unless otherwise indicated and except for share and per share amounts)



likely have a material impact on the structure of the proposed scheme and the percentage of the issued shares of Blanket required to be put into trust for the purposes of the scheme.


12.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Corporation has various financial instruments comprising of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, investments, accounts payable, bank overdrafts, accrued liabilities and long-term debts.


The various assets and liabilities were classified as follows on adoption:


(i)  

Cash and cash equivalents are classified as “assets held for trading”.  They are stated at fair value and any gains/losses arising on revaluation at the end of each period are included in the statement of operations.  The Corporation has no derivative financial instruments that would have been classified on a similar basis.

(ii)

Investments are classified as “assets available for sale”.  They are presented at fair value and the gains/losses arising from their revaluation at the end of each quarter will be included in other comprehensive income.  When a decline in fair value is other than temporary, the accumulated loss that had been recognized directly in other comprehensive income is removed from accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in net income even though the financial asset has not been derecognized.

(iii)

Trade receivables are classified under “loans and receivables”. They are recorded at their original cost which is deemed their fair value at that time. Subsequent measurement will be at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

(iv)

Bank overdraft is classified as a “financial liability held for trading” as there is a contractual obligation to deliver cash. It is measured at fair value which is book value plus accrued interest. It is stated at fair value and any gains/losses arising on revaluation at the end of each period are included in the statement of operations.

(v)

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long term debt are classified under “other financial liabilities”. They are recorded at their fair value at that time. Subsequent measurement will be at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.


13.

Financial Risk Exposure and Risk Management

The Corporation is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks by virtue of its activities. The overall financial risk management program focuses on preservation of capital, and protecting current and future Corporation assets and cash flows by reducing exposure to risks posed by the uncertainties and volatilities of financial markets.   

The Board of Directors has responsibility to ensure that adequate financial risk management is established. The Corporation’s Audit Committee oversees management’s compliance with the Corporation’s financial risk management.  

The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposures are managed are as follows:

i) Currency Risk

As the Corporation operates in an international environment, some of the Corporation’s financial instruments and transactions are denominated in currencies other than the Canadian Dollar. The results of the Corporation’s operations are subject to currency transaction risk and currency translation risk.  The operating results and financial position of the Corporation are reported in Canadian Dollars in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.



18











 

Caledonia Mining Corporation

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of Canadian Dollars unless otherwise indicated and except for share and per share amounts)



The fluctuation of the Canadian Dollar in relation to other currencies will consequently have an impact upon the profitability of the Corporation and may also affect the value of the Corporation’s assets and the amount of shareholders’ equity.   

A significant portion of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities are denominated in South African Rand and United States Dollars.  Management do not consider that the fluctuation of the value of these currencies to the Canadian Dollar could have a significant impact on the results of operations.  Blanket Mine operations are now transacted using the United States Dollar as the functional currency.  As a result of the introduction of the US Dollar as legal tender in Zimbabwe the hyperinflationary environment has decreased dramatically.  The shareholder loan account in Zimbabwe is denominated in US Dollars and could generate foreign exchange losses or gains for Blanket Mine depending on the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Canadian Dollar.  The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.  The Corporation does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its foreign currency risks.


Below is a summary of the cash or near cash items denominated in a currency other than the Canadian Dollar that would be affected by changes in exchanges rates relative to the Canadian Dollar.

ii) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk borne by an interest-bearing asset or liability as a result of fluctuations in interest rates.

Unless otherwise noted, it is the opinion of management that the Corporation is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as it is debt free and only utilizes overdraft facilities for short periods if necessary. As a result of Blanket Mine being brought back into production working capital borrowings  have increased in Zimbabwe. The working capital loans are US Dollar denominated and have been obtained on commercially acceptable terms.. It is the intention of Blanket to borrow further funds to complete the No 4 shaft expansion project. No acceptable term sheet has been received for these loans and thus the interest rate is unknown. The Corporation’s cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments that earn interest at market rates. The Corporation manages its interest rate risk by endeavoring to maximize the interest income earned on excess funds



19













Caledonia Mining Corporation

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands of Canadian Dollars unless otherwise indicated and except for share and per share amounts)



while maintaining the liquidity necessary to conduct operations on a day-to-day basis. The Corporation’s policy focuses on preservation of capital and limits the investing of excess funds to liquid term deposits in “A” grade financial institutions.

Fluctuations in market interest rates have not had a significant impact on the Corporation’s results of operations due to the short-term to maturity of the investments held.


iii) Concentration of Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to Caledonia if a gold sales customer fails to meet its contractual obligation.  Credit risk arises principally from Caledonia’s receivables from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (“RBZ”) who was the sole buyer of gold produced in Zimbabwe , in terms of legislation and regulations that prevailed until February 1, 2009.

Currently all gold produced is delivered to Rand Refineries in South Africa and payment is received within the contractual period.


At December 31, 2008 the RBZ owed Blanket $3,416,892 (gross value) $2,890,000 (at fair value). The amount owed to Blanket was converted into a Special Tradable Gold-backed Foreign Exchange Bond (“Bond”) by RBZ following the Monetary Policy announcement on February 2, 2009 that has the following features;


·

Term of 12 months

·

Interest at 8% pa on maturity on February 1, 2010.

·

Bond may be sold locally, regionally or internationally at an agreed price

·

RBZ will honour the full principal plus interest on maturity

 

iv) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

The Corporation manages its liquidity by ensuring that there is sufficient capital to meet short and long term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and the Corporation’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents. The Corporation believes that these sources will be sufficient to cover the likely short and long term cash requirements. Senior management is also actively involved in the review and approval of planned expenditures by regularly monitoring cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities.


v) Commodity Price Risk

The value of the Corporation’s mineral resource properties is related to the price of gold, platinum group metals and base metals including copper and cobalt, and the outlook for these minerals. In addition, adverse changes in the price of certain raw materials can significantly impair the Corporation’s cash flows.

Gold prices historically have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside of the Corporation's control, including, but not limited to, industrial and retail demand, central bank lending, forward sales by producers and speculators, levels of worldwide production, short-term changes in supply and demand because of speculative hedging activities, and macro-economic variables, and certain other factors related specifically to gold.

14.

Capital Management

The Corporation’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the mining operations and exploration potential of the mineral properties.

The Corporation’s capital includes, short-term debt, long-term debt and equity, comprising issued common shares, contributed surplus and retained earnings.

The Corporation’s primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to maintain its ongoing operations, to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to pursue growth opportunities.  To secure additional capital to pursue these plans, the Corporation may attempt to raise additional funds through borrowing and/or the issuance of equity, debt or by securing strategic partners.

As at September 30, 2009, the Corporation is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and there has been no change with respect to the overall capital risk management strategy.
