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, 2018 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 reviewed by the Group’s auditor.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2018 were approved by the Board of Directors and signed on its behalf on May 14, 2018.

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 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, 2017.

(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 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 has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless indicated otherwise.

3 Use of 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes in estimates are recognised prospectively.

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 owing the Blanket Mine (“Blanket”) 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’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 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. 80% of dividends declared by Blanket 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 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. 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.

Blanket suspended dividend payments from January 1, 2015 until August 1, 2017 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 and no repayments were made or interest accumulated from December 31, 2014 until July 31, 2017. Dividends and interest resumed on August 1, 2017, when Blanket declared a dividend.

5 Blanket Zimbabwe Indigenisation Transaction (continued)

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 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 share based payments.

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 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 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 exceeds the balance on the facilitation loans including interest. At March 31, 2018 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 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 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. Accordingly the shares held by BETS are effectively treated as treasury shares in Blanket and no NCI is recognised.

* The shares held by BETS are effectively treated as treasury shares (see above).

~ Accounted for under IAS19 Employee Benefits.

# 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 underlying subscription agreements, Blanket 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 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 dividend in the quarter to the advanced dividend loan holder (i.e. on the same basis as the facilitation loans). The loan is repayable by way of set off of future dividends on the Blanket shares owned by the Community Trust. Advances made to NIEEF as an advanced dividend loan before 2013 have been settled through Blanket 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.

Government grant – Gold sale export incentive

From May, 2016 the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe announced an export incentive on the gold proceeds received for all large scale gold mine producers. In 2017 the export incentive was calculated at 3.5% of revenues, falling to 2.5% of revenues with effect from January 1, 2018. In February 2018 the 2018 Monetary Policy Statement by the governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe announced an increase in the export incentive from 2.5% to 10% of revenues. On April 4, 2018 Caledonia announced that Blanket had received funds commensurate with the increased level of export incentive for gold produced in February 2018. All incentives granted by the Zimbabwean government were included in other income when determined receivable.

(a)

Restricted Share Units and Performance Share Units

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

The RSUs will vest three years after grant date given that the service condition of the relevant employees are fulfilled. The value of the vested RSUs will be the number of RSUs vested multiplied by the fair market value of the Company’s shares, as specified by the Plan and in the award agreements, on date of settlement.

The PSUs 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 PSUs that will vest will be the PSUs granted multiplied by a 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 noon rate immediately preceding the dividend payment. PSUs have rights to dividends only after they have vested.

(in thousands of United States dollars, unless indicated otherwise)

9 Cash-settled share-based payments (continued)

(a) Restricted Share units and Performance Share Units (continued)

The fair value of the RSUs, at the reporting date, was based on the Black Scholes option valuation model. The fair value of the PSUs, 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 it was assumed that there is a 94% probability that the performance conditions will be met and therefore a 94% performance multiplier was used in calculating the estimated liability. The liability as at March 31, 2018 amounted to $1,884 (December 31, 2017: $1,782). Included in the liability as at March 31, 2018 is an amount of $15 (March 31, 2017: Nil) that was expensed and classified as production costs; refer note 6.

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

	*2018					*2017
	RSUs		PSUs			RSUs		PSUs
Fair value (USD)	$	6.86	$	6.65		$	6.95	$	6.65

(b)

Caledonia Mining South Africa employee incentive scheme

In July, 2017 the Group granted 37,330 cash-settled share-based awards to certain employees based in South Africa. These cash-settled share-based payments will vest in 3 equal tranches on November 30, 2017, 2018 and 2019 subject to the employees fulfilling their service condition. 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 £5.25 at the reporting date. The liability relating to these cash-settled share-based payment awards amounted to $73 (December 31, 2017: $44) and the expense amounted to $26 (March 31, 2017: Nil) for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

14 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 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 Blanket. The Company and Greenstone Management Services Holdings Limited (a subsidiary in the UK) 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.
