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 (“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 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 (“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 March 31, 2017 management evaluated the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting and concluded that such internal control over financial reporting 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 reviewed by the Group’s auditor.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2017 were approved by the Board of Directors and signed on its behalf on May 10,  2017.

Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
 (in thousands of United States dollars, unless indicated otherwise)
____________________________________________________________________________________________

 
1 Reporting entity
Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in the Jersey, Channel Islands. The address of the Company’s registered office is 3rd Floor, Weighbridge House, St Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands, JE2 3NF. These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of the Group as at and for the 3 months ended March 31, 2017 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, 2016.
(b) Basis of measurement
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for liabilities for cash settled share based payment arrangements 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
In preparing these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes in estimates are recognised prospectively.
6

3 Use of estimates and judgements (continued)
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, 2016 and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, unless indicated otherwise in the accounting policies below.
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, 2016. In addition, the accounting policies have been applied consistently by the Group entities.
Cash settled share based payments
Cash settled share-based payment arrangements
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. The method of calculating the fair value of the cash settled share based payments changed during the current quarter from the intrinsic valuation method to the Black-Scholes method. The decision to change to the Black Scholes method of valuation is used to include the effect of the share volatility into the fair value of the share-based awards. The change was applied prospectively and did not have a significant effect on the liability value at quarter end. 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 8.
 
 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 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 transfer 51% of the Group’s ownership interest in Blanket Mine as follows:
·
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.
 
7

5 Blanket Zimbabwe Indigenisation Transaction (continued)

·
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.  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 the extent of future dividends declared by Blanket Mine. The facilitation loans relating to the Group were transferred as a dividend in specie to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company

Blanket suspended dividend payments from January 1, 2015 until August 1, 2016 to facilitate the capital expenditure on an investment programme at Blanket mine to increase production as a result of which the repayment of facilitation loans by Blanket’s indigenous shareholders was also suspended. A moratorium was placed on the interest of the advanced dividend loan until such time as dividends resumed, 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.

Accounting treatment
The directors of Caledonia Holdings Zimbabwe (Private) Limited (“CHZ”) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, performed an 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 recapitalisation and accordingly the subscription agreements have been accounted for as a transaction with non-controlling interests and as share based payments.
The initial 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;
(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 March 31, 2017 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.

5 Blanket Zimbabwe Indigenisation Transaction (continued)

·
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.

# Facilitation loans are accounted for as equity instruments and are accordingly not recognised as loans receivable (see above).

Advance dividends

In anticipation of completion of the subscription agreements, Blanket Mine agreed to advance dividend arrangements with NIEEF and the Community Trust. 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 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. Advances made to NIEEF as an advanced dividend loan before 2013 has been settled in 2014 through Blanket Mine dividend repayments.

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 to be declared.

8 Cash settled share-based payments
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. All RSU’s and PSU’s were granted and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

The RSU’s will vest three years after grant date given that the service condition of the relevant employees are fulfilled. The value of the vested RSU’s will be the number of RSU’s vested multiplied by the fair value of the Company’s shares, as specified by the plan, on date of settlement.

The PSU’s have a service condition and a performance period of three years.  The performance condition is a function of production cost, gold production and central shaft depth targets on certain specified dates.  The number of PSU’s that will vest will be the PSU 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 RSU’s at the then applicable share price calculated at the average Bank of Canada noon rate immediately preceding the dividend payment. PSU’s have rights to dividends only after they have vested.

The fair value of the RSU’s, at the reporting date, were based on the Black Scholes option valuation model. The fair value of the PSU’s, at the reporting date, were calculated on the Black Scholes option valuation model 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 assumed that there is a 100% probability that the performance conditions will be met and therefore a 100% performance multiplier was used in calculating the estimated liability.

The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of the cash settled share-based payment liability on March 31:

13 Operating Segments (continued)

following geographical areas describe the operations of the Group's reportable segments: Corporate, Zimbabwe and South Africa. The Corporate segment comprise the holding company and Greenstone Management Services Holdings Limited (UK) responsible for administrative functions within the group. The Zimbabwe operating segments comprise CHZ and subsidiaries. The South Africa geographical segment comprise a gold mine, that is on care and maintenance, 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.
