The product we explore for, process, market or own is so rare as to boggle the imagination. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Diamond is the hardest natural material in the world Every single diamond is unique as it depends on colour, shape, quality and size Each diamond is beyond ancient, most are over 2,000 million years old Diamonds come from depths greater than 100 miles in the earth. They almost always appear through volcanoes, often very small, known as kimberlites For centuries, diamonds were believed to have come from the Gods – stars dropping to Earth – until 1870 all diamonds came from alluvial sources. The discovery of diamonds in kimberlites in South Africa changed the diamond world For centuries, if not millennia, diamonds were owned and controlled almost exclusively by Indian royalty Diamonds are weighed by carats, each carat is one fifth of a gram. So a 150 carat diamond worth a fortune, weighs only an ounce About 7,000 kimberlites have been discovered since hard rock exploration started Only about 20% of kimberlites contain diamonds About 1% of kimberlites are commercial so there have been only about 70 hardrock mines ever Kimberlites are usually found in clusters, e.g. the Orapa area in Botswana Supply is declining, down from 177 million carats a year in 2005 to 130 million carats in 2013 The industry is an oligopoly with 4 companies controlling 80 per cent of the industry. Alrosa, De Beers, Rio Tinto, Dominion Diamonds While supply is contracting demand is growing. Emerging middle classes are buying gemstones. “A diamond is forever” has worldwide appeal Demand in Asia, Africa and South America is strong. It is expected that world annual growth rates will exceed 5% The result is that prices, though volatile, are expected to rise by all industry commentators The challenge is to find new sources of diamonds. Botswana Diamonds is an explorer. How do we increase the chances of finding a commercial deposit? We do two things. We go where diamonds may be and we put together the best exploration team. Botswana is the home of diamonds. It is the largest producer in the world by value. The Orapa area in Botswana is the best place in the world for gemstone diamonds with 4 operating mines. The Orapa area is the focus of our exploration efforts. We hold extensive ground in the area. The second vital factor is the exploration team. We have a very strong and experienced team in BOD. We, as principals, tasted success in Botswana in the 2000s and have partnered with Alrosa, the biggest diamond producer and the most successful discoverer of diamonds. Our joint team has been working together for two years. 2013 was spent gathering data in Botswana, sending it to St. Petersburg where proprietary analytical techniques were used to select targets in the Orapa area. During 2014, a BOD/Alrosa team conducted two extensive fieldwork programmes and a 4 hole drilling programme on Block 117 in the Orapa region. The drilling programme was an excellent test of the Alrosa technology. Two of the four holes intersected kimberlite veins, two found basalt. A reasonable but not great result. Further work is being carried out on the drilling results but we are unlikely to drill further on that licence as the targets look small. Focus has now turned to the 5 licence block PL206 to PL210 covering 1,357 sq km of highly prospective ground. These licences were identified as prospective by Alrosa almost two years ago. We applied in 2013 and waited a year for the award. A number of Category 1 targets are contained on this ground. A major fieldwork programme was carried out in September/October this year by a team of 8 Russian geologists supported by BOD geological team. The Alrosa team had test equipment with them which greatly facilitated, expedited and directed their soil sampling and geophysical analysis. Substantial quantities of concentrated soil samples are now being analysed in St. Petersburg. Early evidence suggests that the technical analysis is identifying good drilling opportunities. Alrosa will identify a series of targets on the blocks. We will agree a budget for 2015 which will include drilling and more fieldwork to better pinpoint drilling locations. c l p s d n o m a i d a n a w s t o b 2 301172 Botswana Annual Report 21/11/2014 10:29 Page 3 Chairman’s Statement (continued) BBrriigghhttssttoonnee LLiicceennccee BBlloocckk,, GGooppee,, BBoottsswwaannaa We have an earn in agreement on 13 licences in the Gope region of Botswana. The licence area covers over 6,500 sq km in the Kalahari Desert. The Gope area is an emerging diamond province containing the newly opened Ghagoo diamond mine and a recent discovery by Petra Diamonds. Work done by BOD and Alrosa identified targets across the Brightstone block. The BOD targets are in a corridor across the Southwest of the block while the Alrosa targets are in the North. BOD has been actively speaking to parties regarding farm in arrangements into the Brightstone block. While there has been some interest there is no guarantee that any transaction will be completed. BOD’s preference is for a deal that would see a partner with the appropriate expertise taking on the operatorship and funding of the exploration with BOD retaining a minority carried interest. FFuuttuurree The coming year will be an important test of the Alrosa/BOD strategy. The work done to date and the extensive analyses being conducted by Alrosa will identify targets which we will drill to test if they are diamondiferous kimberlites. The programme is not yet agreed but I will be surprised if it does not include a double digit number of drill holes. Our joint venture with Alrosa is a 50/50 heads up which means we pay our share. Funds raised in 2013 and 2014 funded all of the exploration to date with cash remaining to cover some if not all of next year’s programme. I must express gratitude to the Alrosa and BOD teams. From different cultures and backgrounds their shared professionalism resulted in a very effective team effort. Working for months in the Kalahari Desert is challenging. We are lucky to have a good crew. Political and economic uncertainty abounds in the world. Commodity prices are soft and resource investment out of favour while junior explorers are ignored. But diamond fundamentals are good. We have the ground and the team. Success, if achieved, will bring great rewards.

DDIIAAMMOONNDD MMAARRKKEETT –– IINNDDUUSSTTRRYY SSTTRRUUCCTTUURRAALL DDEEVVEELLOOPPMMEENNTTSS In terms of the global diamond industry, the most significant 2014 developments were as follows: • De Beers global sales enjoyed a successful first full year based out of Gaborone, Botswana (relocated from London in October 2013); full-year sales figures are expected to be in the region of $6.5bn • Negotiations between De Beers and the Government of the Republic of Namibia remain under discussion on the 12-month overdue Sales Agreement; Namibia is reported to want an independent window sales mechanism Alrosa’s President resigned in September 2014 citing reasons of ill health; his replacement has not been announced of time of going to print Lukoil’s Grib mine in Russia began selling its production by tender in Antwerp in Q3 2014 The Antwerp Diamond Bank announced in October it was to be liquidated which put significant liquidity pressure on the middle market participants • • • rock conglomerate DDIIAAMMOONNDD MMAARRKKEETT –– 22001144 H1 2014 saw a strong performance on price as the year kicked off with solid demand for rough and a positive market sentiment. In January, De Beers raised its prices by 5% and the rest of the market, including the other main supplier, Alrosa of Russia, followed suit. By mid-year rough prices were up 7-10% on average. Prices in some areas such as 1-2ct rough diamonds reached record high levels. The key Christmas and Chinese New Year seasons boosted polished sales which allowed a pull-through of fresh stock from the cutting centres. However increasingly expensive rough supplies during H1 caused manufacturing margins to become tighter and concerns over both liquidity and bank finance grew. The market therefore resisted further price increases and the subsequent message from the main producers was that they were not intending to raise prices further this year, preferring to see steady price growth, which in turn stabilised the market. Two large July and August sales of around $700-800m by De Beers caused the premiums achieved in the trading of rough to decline and there were clear signs that the market was cooling as stocks began to build up in the cutting centres, polished prices weakened and credit facilities tightened. By mid-September rough diamond prices in the secondary market trading centres were reported to have fallen by 7-10%, mirroring the H1 increases. c l p s d n o m a i d a n a w s t o b 4 Rough Price index 2010-2104; source: eDiamond 301172 Botswana Annual Report 21/11/2014 10:29 Page 5 Overview & Market (continued) The announcement of the liquidation of the Antwerp Diamond diamond production for 2014 is estimated to stand at the Bank, one of the key financiers to the trade caused the market 140m carat level, down from a 2005 industry peak of around to dip further in October.

This data included geological, geophysical and grain data generated to uncover the potential in the area. The integration of geology, structure, geophysics and soil sample data, as part of the review process, leads to the conclusion that these licence areas are of high interest in terms of discovery potential. There are several aeromagnetic anomalies and soil sample anomalies that need to be investigated and tested with drilling. The existing (known) kimberlites in the area are structurally controlled, i.e. they occur mostly in a linear pattern along fault zones, and the next stage of targeting will focus on identified geophysical targets within the structural target areas. The previous discoveries of the Gope, Khutse and Kikau diamond fields and the recent discovery of KX36 by Petra Diamonds are all proof of the prospectivity of the area. Use of high-resolution geophysical data coverage presents opportunities for new discoveries if high-resolution geophysical surveys are conducted. Our competitors have enjoyed success with this approach in the past. General mineral chemistry and grain data of the entire area is of moderate to high interest. There are identified areas that need to be followed up as chrome diopside has been noted in the soil samples. Chrome diopside is normally found proximal to source as it degrades easily and does not travel. c l p s d n o m a i d a n a w s t o b 12 Exhibit 2 - Diamond drill rig on PL 117/2011 301172 Botswana Annual Report 21/11/2014 10:30 Page 13 Review of Operations (continued) Exhibit 3 - Sunland Minerals geologists on a sampling programme on PLs206-210/2014 c l p s d n o m a i d a n a w s t o b 13 Exhibit 4 - Map showing location of licences sampled (PLs206-210/2014) 301172 Botswana Annual Report 21/11/2014 10:30 Page 14 Review of Operations (continued) Exhibit 5 – Brightstone Licence Block Exhibit 6 – Kimberlites on Brightstone’s Ground c l p s d n o m a i d a n a w s t o b 14 301172 Botswana Annual Report 21/11/2014 10:30 Page 15 Strategic Report SSTTRRAATTEEGGYY Our strategy is the appraisal and exploitation of the assets currently owned.

RRIISSKKSS AANNDD UUNNCCEERRTTAAIINNTTIIEESS The Group is subject to a number of potential risks and uncertainties, which could have a material impact on the long-term performance of the Group and could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. The management of risk is the collective responsibility of the Board of Directors and the Group has developed a range of internal controls and procedures in order to manage risk. The following risk factors, which are not exhaustive, are the principal risks relevant to the Group’s activities: RRiisskk NNaattuurree ooff rriisskk aanndd mmiittiiggaattiioonn LLiicceennccee oobblliiggaattiioonnss Operations must be carried out in accordance with the terms of each licence agreed with the relevant ministry for natural resources in the host country. Typically, the law provides that operations may be suspended, amended or terminated if a contractor fails to comply with its obligations under such licences or fails to make timely payments of relevant levies and taxes. The Group has regular communication and meetings with relevant government bodies to discuss future work plans and receive feedback from those bodies. Country Managers in each jurisdiction monitor compliance with licence obligations and changes to legislation applicable to the company and report as necessary to the Board. c l p s d n o m a i d a n a w s t o b 15 301172 Botswana Annual Report 21/11/2014 10:30 Page 16 Strategic Report (continued) RRiisskk NNaattuurree ooff rriisskk aanndd mmiittiiggaattiioonn RReeqquuiirreemmeenntt ffoorr ffuurrtthheerr ffuunnddiinngg The Group may require additional funding to implement its exploration and development plans as well as finance its operational and administrative expenses. There is no guarantee that future market conditions will permit the raising of the necessary funds by way of issue of new equity, debt financing or farming out of interests. If unsuccessful, this may significantly affect the Group’s ability to execute its long- term growth strategy. The Board regularly reviews Group cash flow projections and considers different sources of funds. The Group regularly meets with shareholders and the investor community and communicates through their website and regulatory reporting. GGeeoollooggiiccaall aanndd ddeevveellooppmmeenntt rriisskkss Exploration activities are speculative and capital intensive and there is no guarantee of identifying commercially recoverable reserves. The Group’s activities in Botswana are in proven resource basins. The Group uses a range of techniques to minimise risk prior to drilling and utilises independent experts to assess the results of exploration activity. TTiittllee ttoo aasssseettss Title to diamond assets in Botswana can be complex. The Directors monitor any threats to the Group’s interest in its licences and employ the services of experienced and competent lawyers in relevant jurisdictions to defend those interests, where appropriate. EExxcchhaannggee rraattee rriisskk The Group’s expenses, which are primarily to contractors on exploration and development, are incurred in US Dollars, Sterling and Euros. The Group’s policy is to conduct and manage its operations in US Dollars and therefore it is exposed to fluctuations in the relative values of the Euro and Sterling. The Group seeks to minimise its exposure to currency risk by closely monitoring exchange rates and maintaining a level of cash in foreign denominated currencies sufficient to meet planned expenditure in that currency. PPoolliittiiccaall rriisskk The Group holds assets in Botswana and therefore the Group is exposed to country specific risks such as the political, social and economic stability of these countries. The countries in which the Group operates are encouraging foreign investment. The Group’s projects are longstanding and we have established strong relationships with local and national government which enable the Group to monitor the political and regulatory environment. FFiinnaanncciiaall rriisskk mmaannaaggeemmeenntt Details of the Group’s financial risk management policies are set out in Note 23. In addition to the above there can be no assurance that current exploration programmes will result in profitable operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the successful discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations and the ability of the Group to raise additional financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Group’s and company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write down of the carrying values of the Group’s assets.

EEMMPPLLOOYYEEEE CCOONNSSUULLTTAATTIIOONN The group places considerable value on the involvement of its employees and has continued to keep them informed on matters affecting them as employees and on the various factors affecting the performance of the group. This is achieved through formal and informal meetings. c l p s d n o m a i d a n a w s t o b 16 301172 Botswana Annual Report 21/11/2014 10:30 Page 17 Strategic Report (continued) CCOORRPPOORRAATTEE SSOOCCIIAALL RREESSPPOONNSSIIBBIILLIITTYY The Group is subject to best practice standards and extensive regulations, which govern environmental protection. The Group is committed to uphold these standards and regulations as a minimum and to keep these important matters under continuous review. When appropriate, adequate action and provision is immediately taken to ensure full compliance with the standards expected of an international exploration and development company. The Group works towards positive and constructive relationships with government, neighbours and the public, ensuring fair treatment of those affected by the Group’s operations. In particular, the Group aims to provide employees with a healthy and safe working environment whilst receiving payment that enables them to maintain a reasonable lifestyle for themselves and their families. SSUUPPPPLLIIEERR PPAAYYMMEENNTT PPOOLLIICCYY The group’s policy is to settle terms of payment with suppliers when agreeing the terms of each transaction to ensure that suppliers are made aware of the terms of payment and abide by the terms of payment.

AAPPPPRROOVVAALL OOFF TTHHEE BBOOAARRDD This Strategic Report contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to the usual risk factors and uncertainties associated with the natural resources exploration industry. While the directors believe the expectations reflected within the Annual Report are reasonable in light of the information available up to the time of their approval of this report, the actual outcome may be materially different owing to factors either beyond the Group’s control or otherwise within the Group’s control, for example owing to a change of plan or strategy.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the group financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and Article 4 of the IAS Regulation and have also chosen to prepare the parent company financial statements under IFRSs as adopted by the EU. Under company law the directors must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, International Accounting Standard 1 requires that directors: • • • • properly select and apply accounting policies; present information, including accounting policies, in a manner that provides relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information; provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements in IFRSs are insufficient to enable users to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the entity's financial position and financial performance; and make an assessment of the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. c l p s d n o m a i d a n a w s t o b 20 301172 Botswana Annual Report 21/11/2014 10:30 Page 21 Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of Botswana Diamonds Plc We have audited the financial statements of Botswana Diamonds plc for the year ended 30 June 2014 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Changes In Equity, the Company Statement of Changes In Equity, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, the Company Cash Flow Statement and the related notes 1 to 24. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and, as regards the parent company financial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. RReessppeeccttiivvee rreessppoonnssiibbiilliittiieess ooff ddiirreeccttoorrss aanndd aauuddiittoorr As explained more fully in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors. SSccooppee ooff tthhee aauuddiitt ooff tthhee ffiinnaanncciiaall ssttaatteemmeennttss An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the group’s and the parent company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the annual report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. OOppiinniioonn oonn ffiinnaanncciiaall ssttaatteemmeennttss In our opinion: • the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the parent company’s affairs as at 30 June 2014 and of the group’s loss for the year then ended; the group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union; the parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006; and the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. • • • Emphasis of Matter – Realisation of Assets In forming our opinion on the financial statements, which is not modified, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in: • Notes 11, 12 and 14 to the financial statements concerning the valuation of intangible assets, investments in subsidiaries and amounts due by group undertakings. The realisation of the intangible assets of £5,866,467 included in the consolidated balance sheet and intangible assets of £3,313,980, investments in subsidiaries of £500,017 and amounts due by group undertakings of £2,054,800 included in the company balance sheet are dependent on the discovery and successful development of economic diamond reserves and the ability of the group to raise sufficient finance to develop the projects. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to these uncertainties, and the ultimate outcome cannot, at present, be determined. c l p s d n o m a i d a n a w s t o b 21 301172 Botswana Annual Report 21/11/2014 10:30 Page 22 Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Botswana Diamonds Plc (continued) • Note 3 to the financial statements concerning the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The group incurred a net loss for the year of £1,025,403. This condition indicates the existence of a material uncertainty in respect of the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The directors consider that the group has sufficient cash reserves available to meet liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements, and that if the group requires further funds to carry out future exploration programmes, the directors are satisfied that sufficient funds can be raised from future share issues to fund exploration costs. Accordingly, the directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements of the group and the company on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the group was unable to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in sterling pounds and comply with the Companies Act, 2006. SSttaatteemmeenntt ooff ccoommpplliiaannccee The financial statements of Botswana Diamonds plc and all its subsidiaries (the group) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as adopted by the European Union. BBaassiiss ooff ccoonnssoolliiddaattiioonn The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Botswana Diamonds plc and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2014. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date which the group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intragroup balances, income and expenses and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intragroup transactions are eliminated in full. IInnvveessttmmeenntt iinn ssuubbssiiddiiaarriieess The company’s investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost, less any accumulated impairment losses. IInnvveessttmmeennttss iinn aassssoocciiaatteess An associate is an entity over which the group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. The results and assets and liabilities are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the group’s share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of an associate in excess of the group’s interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the group’s net investment in the associate), are recognised only to the extent that the group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of that investment. Any excess of the group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in the relevant associate. OOppeerraattiinngg lloossss Operating loss represents revenue less cost of sales, administrative expenses and listing expenses. It is stated before finance revenue, finance costs and fair value gains/losses on financial assets. FFoorreeiiggnn ccuurrrreenncciieess The presentation currency of the group financial statements is pounds sterling and the functional currency and the presentation currency of the parent company is pounds sterling. The individual financial statements of each group company are maintained in the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each group company are expressed in pounds sterling, the presentation currency. c l p s d n o m a i d a n a w s t o b 30 301172 Botswana Annual Report 21/11/2014 10:30 Page 31 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 11..

At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was re-determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year, other than when a monetary item forms part of a net investment in a foreign operation; then exchange differences on that item are recognised in equity. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year except for differences arising on the retranslation of non- monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity. For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the group’s foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that year, in which case the exchange rates at the date of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are classified as equity and transferred to the group’s translation reserve. Such translation differences are recognised as income or as expenses in the year in which the operation is disposed of.

Evaluation expenditure arises from a detailed assessment of deposits that have been identified as having economic potential. The costs of exploration rights and costs incurred in exploration and evaluation activities, are capitalised as part of exploration and evaluation assets. Exploration costs are capitalised until technical feasibility and commercial viability of extraction of reserves are demonstrable. Exploration costs include an allocation of administration and salary costs (including share based payments) attributable to exploration activities as determined by management. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount. Prior to reclassification to property, plant and equipment, exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment, and any impairment loss recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.

((xx)) TTaaxxaattiioonn The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. c l p s d n o m a i d a n a w s t o b 32 301172 Botswana Annual Report 21/11/2014 10:30 Page 33 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 11..

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. ((xxii)) SShhaarree bbaasseedd ppaayymmeennttss The group issues equity-settled share based payments only to certain employees and directors. Equity settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest and adjusted for the effect of market based vesting conditions. Where the value of the goods or services received in exchange for the share based payment cannot be reliably estimated the fair value is measured by use of a Black-Scholes valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. ((xxiiii)) WWaarrrraannttss Proceeds from the issuance of warrants, net of issue costs, are credited to the warrants reserve.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure The assessment of whether general administration costs and salary costs are capitalised or expensed involves judgement. Management considers the nature of each cost incurred and whether it is deemed appropriate to capitalise it within intangible assets. Costs which can be demonstrated as project related are included within exploration and evaluation assets. Exploration and evaluation assets relate to prospecting, exploration and related expenditure in Botswana, Zimbabwe and Cameroon. The group’s exploration activities are subject to a number of significant and potential risks including: c l p s d n o m a i d a n a w s t o b 33 301172 Botswana Annual Report 21/11/2014 10:30 Page 34 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 11..

The recoverability of these intangible assets is dependent on the discovery and successful development of economic reserves, including the ability to raise finance to develop future projects. Should this prove unsuccessful, the value included in the balance sheet would be written off to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Impairment of intangible assets The assessment of intangible assets for any indications of impairment (1.(viii)) involves judgement. If an indication of impairment exists, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is performed and an impairment loss recognised to the extent that carrying amount exceeds recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is determined as the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The assessment requires judgement as to: the likely future commerciality of the asset and when such commerciality should be determined; future revenues; capital and operating costs, and the discount rate to be applied to such revenues and costs. Deferred tax assets The assessment of availability of future taxable profits involves judgement. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. No deferred tax has been recognised. Going Concern The assessment of the group’s ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements involves judgement. Further information regarding going concern is outlined in Note 3. Recoverability of amount due from subsidiaries The carrying value of amounts due by group undertakings is dependent on the successful discovery and development of economic diamond resources and the ability of the group to raise sufficient finance to develop the projects. KKeeyy ssoouurrcceess ooff eessttiimmaattiioonn uunncceerrttaaiinnttyy The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the period. The nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Impairment of intangible assets The assessment of intangible assets for any indication of impairment involves uncertainty. There is uncertainty as to whether the exploration activity will yield any economically viable discovery. Aspects of uncertainty surrounding the group’s intangible assets include the amount of potential reserves, ability to be awarded exploration licences, and the ability to raise sufficient finance, to develop the group’s projects. If the directors determine that the intangible asset is impaired, an allowance is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Share-based payments The estimation of share-based payment costs requires the selection of an appropriate valuation model and consideration as to the inputs necessary for the valuation model chosen. The group has made estimates as to the volatility of its own shares, the probable life of options granted and the time of exercise of those options. The model used by the group is the Black-Scholes valuation model. c l p s d n o m a i d a n a w s t o b 34 301172 Botswana Annual Report 21/11/2014 10:30 Page 35 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 22..

GGOOIINNGG CCOONNCCEERRNN The group incurred a loss for the year of £1,025,403 after exchange differences on retranslation of foreign operations (2013: £518,245) and had a retained deficit of £2,558,131 (2013: £1,729,523) at the balance sheet date. These conditions represent a material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The directors consider that the group has sufficient cash reserves available to meet liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. However, if the group requires further funds to carry out future exploration programmes, the directors are satisfied that sufficient funds can be raised from future share issues to fund exploration costs. Accordingly, the directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements of the group and the company on a going concern basis as there will be sufficient funds in place to continue operations for the foreseeable future. The financial statements do not include any adjustments of the group on the basis that the group is a going concern. c l p s d n o m a i d a n a w s t o b 35 301172 Botswana Annual Report 21/11/2014 10:30 Page 36 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 44..

The group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Hence, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The group holds cash as a liquid resource to fund obligations of the group. The group’s cash balances are held in euro, US dollar and sterling. The group’s strategy for managing cash is to maximise interest income whilst ensuring its availability to match the profile of the group’s expenditure. This is achieved by regular monitoring of interest rates and monthly review of expenditure. The group has a policy of not hedging due to no significant dealings in currencies other than the reporting currency and euro denominated transactions and therefore takes market rates in respect of foreign exchange risk; however, it does review its currency exposure on an ad hoc basis. The group does not enter into any derivative transactions, and it is the group’s policy that no trading in derivatives shall be undertaken. The main financial risks arising from the group’s financial instruments are as follows: IInntteerreesstt rraattee rriisskk The group has no outstanding bank borrowings at the year end.

Given the nature of the Group’s business, significant amounts are required to be invested in exploration and evaluation activities at different locations. The directors manage this risk by reviewing expenditure plans and budgets in relation to projects before any monies are advanced to subsidiary undertakings in respect of those projects. This review ensures that any expenditure is value- enhancing and as a result the amounts receivable will be recoverable subject to successful discovery and development of economic reserves.
