-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 ("Group") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 ("IAS 34") Interim Financial Reporting and, where appropriate, these statements include some amounts that are based on best estimates and judgment. Management have 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 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, consistent with reasonable cost. Such systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance that relevant and reliable financial information is produced.
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting ("ICOFR"). Any system of internal controls over financial reporting, 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 September 30, 2016, management evaluated the effectiveness of the Group's internal control over financial reporting and concluded that such internal control over financial reporting was effective and there were no material weaknesses or changes in internal controls identified by management.
 
As part of their monitoring and oversight role, the Audit Committee performs a review and conducts discussions with management. No material exceptions and/or evidence of fraud were noted based on the additional procedures.
 
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 reviewed by the Group's auditor.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2016 were approved by the Board of Directors and signed on its behalf on November 11,  2016.

Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the six months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015
(In thousands of United States dollars, unless indicated otherwise)
 
 
1 Reporting entity
 
Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc (the "Company") is a company domiciled in Jersey, Channel Islands. The address of the Company's registered office is 43-45 La Motte Street, JE4 8SD, Jersey, Channel Islands. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group as at and for the 9 months ended September 30, 2016 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group" and individually as "Group entities"). The Group is primarily involved in the operation of a gold mine and the exploration and development of mineral properties for precious metals.
 
2 Basis for preparation
 
(a) 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (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, 2015.
 
(b) Basis of measurement
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for cash settled share based payment liabilities measured at fair value.
 
(c) Functional and presentation currency
 
These 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.
 
3 Use of estimates and judgements
 
Management makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied as at December 31, 2015, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.
 
4 Significant accounting policies
 
Except as stated otherwise, the same accounting policies and methods of computation have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements as compared to the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. In addition, the accounting policies have been applied consistently by the Group entities.

For the six months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015
(In thousands of United States dollars, unless indicated otherwise)
 
 
 
 
4 Significant accounting policies – (continued)
(i)
 Share based payment expense
 
The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of share based awards, which will be settled in cash, is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period over which the employee becomes unconditionally entitled to payment. The liability is re-measured at each reporting date. Any changes in the fair value of the liability are recognised as an expense in profit or loss.
 
Additional information about significant judgements, estimates and the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of cash settled share-based payment transactions are disclosed in note 9.
 
 (ii) Derivatives
 
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The group does not designate derivatives as speculative hedging instruments, therefore subsequent changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

Blanket Zimbabwe Indigenisation Transaction
 
Blanket Mine (1983) (Private) Limited ("Blanket") indigenisation transaction
 
On February 20, 2012 the Group announced that 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 Blanket Mine for a paid transactional value of $30.09 million.
 
Pursuant to the above, the Group entered into agreements with each Indigenisation Shareholder to sell its 51% ownership interest in Blanket Mine as follows:
 
·
A 16% interest was sold to the National Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Fund ("NIEEF") for $11.74 million.
·
A 15% interest was sold to Fremiro, which is owned by Indigenous Zimbabweans, for $11.01 million.
·
A 10% interest was sold 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.
·
A 10% interest was donated to the Gwanda Community Share Ownership Trust ("Community Trust"). Blanket Mine undertook and paid a non-refundable donation of $1 million to the Community Trust.

The Group facilitated the vendor funding of these transactions which are 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. Outstanding balances on these facilitation loans attract interest at a rate of 10% over the 12-month LIBOR. The timing of the repayment of the loans depends on the future financial performance of Blanket Mine and to the extent of future dividends declared by Blanket Mine. To facilitate the capital expenditure of a production expansion programme, Blanket Mine suspended dividend payments from December 31, 2014 to July 31, 2016. A moratorium was placed on the facilitation loan interest until dividend payments resumed on August 1, 2016. The facilitation loans were

5 Blanket Zimbabwe Indigenisation Transaction - (continued)

declared as a dividend in specie by Caledonia Holdings Zimbabwe (Blanket Mine's parent company) to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc.

The indigenisation 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 Blanket Mine level at 16.2% of the net assets.
·
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 September 30, 2016 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 the BETS will be 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 structured entities which are 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.

Advance dividends
In anticipation of completion of the subscription agreements, Blanket Mine agreed to an advance dividend arrangement with the Community Trust against their right to receive dividends declared by Blanket Mine on their shareholding. Advance dividends were paid as follows:
·
A US$2 million payment on or before September 30, 2012;
·
A US$1 million payment on or before February 28, 2013; and
·
A US$1 million payment on or before April 30, 2013.
These advance payments have been recorded to a loan account bearing interest at a rate of 10% over the 12-month LIBOR.  The loan is repayable by way of set off of future dividends on the Blanket Mine shares owed by the Community Trust. At September 30, 2016. The outstanding balance of the advance dividend loan is $3,122,000 (2015: $3,237,000). A moratorium was placed on the interest of the advanced dividend loan until such time as dividends resume, no repayments were made or interest accumulated from December 31, 2014 until July 31, 2016. Dividends and interest resumed on August 1, 2016, when Blanket Mine declared a dividend. Repayments of $170,000 were made and interest of $55,000 accumulated during quarter 3.

7 Change in depreciation estimate
Previously, where orebodies were not determinable because ore bearing structures are open at depth or open laterally, the straight line method of depreciation was applied to depreciate certain items of Plant and equipment and Mineral properties. Due to an increase in focus on deep drilling which is expected to result in regular updates to the resource and reserve statements of Blanket Mine, it was determined that these items of Property, plant and equipment will be depreciated on the units of production method from July 1, 2016 The change in estimation resulted in a decrease of $61,493 in the depreciation charge for the third quarter of 2016.

9 Share based payment expense

Certain key management members were granted Restricted Share Units ("RSU's") and Performance Share Units ("PSU's"), pursuant to provisions of the 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan.

303,225 RSU's and 1,212,903 PSU's were granted and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on January 11, 2016. These RSU's will vest on January 11, 2019 given that the service condition of the relevant employees are fulfilled at this date. The value of the vested RSU's will be the amount of RSU's vested multiplied by the fair market value, as specified by the plan, on date of settlement. Of the 1,212,903 PSU's, 109,677 PSU's have a performance period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 and 1,103,226 from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. Both have a vesting date of January 11, 2019.
 
PSU's have a service condition and a performance condition attached. The performance condition is a function of production cost, gold production and central shaft depth targets on certain specified dates.  The number of shares that will vest will be the PSU units 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  RSU's at the then applicable share price calculated at the average Royal Bank of Canada noon rate immediately preceding the dividend payment, at reporting date 14,203 additional RSU's have been granted due to dividend reinvestments. PSU's have rights to dividends only after they have vested.
 
On March 23, 2016 and June 8, 2016, additional 80,427 RSU's and 321,708 PSU's were granted and will vest after 3 years from the grant date.  The RSU's only have a service condition attached, whereas the PSU's have a performance period of 3 years with the same performance criteria as the January 11, 2016 grants.
 
The fair value of the RSU's were estimated to be the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") share price on reporting date. The fair value of the PSU's were calculated as the TSX share price at reporting date less the fair value of the expected dividends during the vesting period multiplied by the performance multiplier expectation.  At the reporting date it was expected that there is a 100% probability that the performance conditions will be met and therefore a 100% performance multiplier was used in the estimated liability.

10 Sale of Blanket Mine treasury bills
 
On May 12, 2016 Blanket Mine sold treasury bills ("Bills") issued by the Government of Zimbabwe for a total consideration of $3,203,000.  The Bills were issued to Blanket in 2015 and replaced the Special Tradeable Gold Bonds ("Bonds") which were issued to Blanket in 2009 as part consideration for gold sales that were made by Blanket in 2008 under the terms of the sales mechanism that existed at that time for Zimbabwean gold producers. The Bonds were fully impaired in previous years, and the impairment value was applied as a deduction from Blanket's income tax liability.  The gross sales proceeds were subject to Zimbabwean income tax at 25.75%.
 
11 Margin call on gold hedge
 
In February 2016, the Company entered into a hedge in respect of 15,000 ounces of gold over a period of 6 months.  The hedge protected the Company if the gold price fell below $1,050 per ounce and gave Caledonia full participation if the price of gold exceeded $1,079 per ounce. The derivative financial instrument was entered into by the Company for economic hedging purposes and not as a speculative investment and was closed out in August 2016.
 
The derivative contract resulted in a loss of $435,000 included in profit or loss. The Company settled the loss with the $435,000 margin call deposited at the inception of the hedge transaction.

15 Operating Segments

The Group's operating segments have been identified based on geographic areas. The Group has three reportable segments as described below, which are the Group's strategic business units. The strategic business units are managed separately because they require different decision making strategies. For each of the strategic business units, the Group's CEO reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis. Geographical areas describing the operations of the Group's current reportable segments are categorised as Corporate, Zimbabwe and South Africa. The Corporate segment comprises the holding company and Greenstone Management Services Limited (United Kingdom). The Zimbabwe operating segment comprises Caledonia Holdings Zimbabwe Limited and subsidiaries. The Zambia segments consisted of Nama copper project and cobalt project during 2015. The Zambian entities which comprised a fourth strategic business unit in previous reporting periods were closed down on September 2, 2015. The South Africa geographical segment comprises a gold mine as well as sales made by Caledonia Mining South Africa Proprietary Limited to the Blanket Mine. 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 reports 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.
