Project (“RCPP”) and the Imweru gold project Significantly, the results of this work demonstrate (“Imweru”). The highlight during the period was strongly positive economic returns from the RCPP. the Company’s decision to commence definitive This can be seen in the range of estimated economic feasibility studies on both projects in August indicators for the project based on a preliminary 2014 with delivery on schedule by the end of base case financial model constructed by Standard December. These first phase reports comprised Bank and drawing its inputs from the feasibility a Concept Study (first part of Definitive Mining reports. The highlights of these estimates include Feasibility Study (DMFS)) on the Rukwa Mineral revenues in the range US$7.8 to $8.4 billion, NPVs Resource, a Power Pre-feasibility Study (PFS) on the in the range US$230-US$280 million, IRR on pre- thermal power plant component of the RCPP and tax equity of >23% and a payback period of 8 to 9 a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the years. Albeit that these are preliminary estimates, I Imweru Resource representing the first part of the would note that that these are impressive figures DMFS report on this project.

The favourable a substantial contribution to the socio-economic RCPP report results were key to the successful development of Tanzania. These estimates negotiation of a Joint Development Agreement have been further refined following the recent (“JDA”) with China based EPC contractor SEPCOIII completion of an Integrated Pre-feasibility Study on the project which was recently announced in Report for the RCPP which consolidated the results April 2015. of the separate coal mining and power generation reports.

These results have be directed towards the RCPP and Imweru. I am enabled the Company to move with confidence to pleased that the Company has been successful in the next phase of work within the DMFS, which finalising separate joint ventures on each project is the completion of a Pre-feasibility Study on the with AIM-listed Metal Tiger Plc under broadly project. I welcome the emerging positive results similar terms. These see Metal Tiger funding up from the Imweru DMFS as they fully support to US$800,000 on each project in licence fees and the Company’s strategy of pursuing a fast-track exploration expenditure over 3 years to maintain development at Imweru in order to create early a 50% interest in the projects. This is a welcome cash flow. Such cash flow can be used to fund development for Kibo as it allows the Company expansion of the established resource as well as to once again resume exploration on these areas conducting exploration on adjacent projects in the that are an important part of Kibo’s commodity- region. These adjacent projects include Lubando, diverse asset portfolio within Tanzania. The already with a Mineral Resource of 168,000 oz.

Corporate Following our corporate re-organisation in 2013 which included the retirement of three directors, 2014 was a relatively uneventful period on the corporate front as management’s energy was Christian Schaffalitzky focussed on the operational advances discussed in the previous section. The appointment of Andreas Lianos to the Board from the 1st March 2014 as Financial Director concluded the board changes commenced in 2013 and enhanced the key executive management team with the necessary experience and capability to take the Company to the next stage of its development. There were three placings completed during 2014 which raised a total of £2.2 million at prices of between 1.5p and 2.5p. These were all done in continuing adverse market conditions for equity raisings. As Shareholders will see from this report, the Annual Financial Statements reflect a reversal of previously recognised impairment of our intangible assets to the value of £8.1 million, together with impairment charges of £3.4 million, resulting in an increase in the carrying value of intangible assets from £9.7 million at 31 December 2013 to £14.4 million at 31 December 2014.

Andreas (Andrew) Lianos, CA, ACMA , Age 49 – Chief Financial Officer (Executive) Andrew is a chartered accountant (CA (SA)), certified management accountant (ACMA), certified internal auditor (CIA) and JSE qualified executive who started his professional career in 1989 with Grant Thornton International. Andrew entered the corporate finance industry in 1994 by joining Deloitte & Touche Corporate Finance. In 1996 he joined Smith Borkum Hare/Merrill Lynch Corporate Finance, and was part of the team that founded Labyrinth Corporate Finance during 1997. He has substantial transaction experience in the resources, food- and leisure industries. Andrew has served on the boards of a number of private and public companies.

He is also currently a director of Boudica Trust Co Limited (trading as Boudica Group). Andrew has been involved in a number of successful cross-border restructurings and resource transactions in Canada, the Central African Republic, Sierra Leone, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and South Africa. Review of Business Developments As set out in the Chairman’s Report and review of activities, as well as continuing with its exploration program, the Company significantly decreased its exploration ground holdings in Tanzania during the period, and continued the development of its feasibility studies toward mining of the identifiable viable resources. Rukwa The Company commenced a Definitive Mine Feasibility Study (“DMFS”) at Rukwa in the the second half of 2014 and the results emerging to date are highly encouraging. Modelling studies indicate sufficient coal within the current Mineral Resource to sustain the proposed thermal power plant for a period of up to 40 years. Equally encouraging are the results of a Pre-feasibility Study on the thermal power generation component of the project also completed during 2014. Kibo is now continuing with completion of a full integrated coal-power bankable feasibility study and on the Rukwa Coal to Power Project (RCPP) which it expects to complete during 2015. An important part of the feasibility studies on the Rukwa coal mine will be further drilling and associated technical surveys to increase confidence in the existing resource to test for additional coal resources over the rest of the project, for which the Company believes there is excellent potential. Apart from supplying the planned thermal coal plant, additional markets for the coal will also be explored such as export and for coal to gas conversion. Imweru The Companies near-term plans for its Lake Victoria projects will be primarily focused on Imweru where work is on-going. An internal optimization study which was validated by the Companies independent consultants (August 2014), has established the potential viability of the existing Imweru Mineral Resource to support an economic mining operation. Based on these results Kibo commenced a Definitive Mining Feasibility Study (“DMFS”) on the project during the second half of 2014 with the first output from this study, a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) by independent consultant Minxcon, showing favorable economic indicators for development of a gold mine on the existing Mineral Resource. The next element of work on the DMFS will comprise the completion of the Pre- feasibility Study for the project which is planned for 2015. The results of the 2014 economic and technical studies at Imweru indicate the potential to increase the Company’s total gold resource in the region and extend the life of the modelled base case gold mine development. 5 KIBO MINING PLC ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 DIRECTORS’ REPORT KIBO MINING PLC DIRECTORS’ REPORT ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 The Board of Directors present their Annual Report together with the audited annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 of Kibo Mining Plc (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively “the Group”).

The assessment report concluded that the Mihanza Hill soil and rock anomaly shows strong geochemical characteristics to those that may be expected to overlie a “chondrite” type Ni-Cu-PGM sulphide target .This results has significantly improved the quality of this target for nickel sulphide mineralisation as well as validating the prospectivity of the rest of the Haneti Itiso Ultramafic Complex for this style of nickel sulphide mineralisation. Principal Risks and Uncertainties Mining operations are subject to hazards normally encountered in exploration, development and production. These include unexpected geological formations, rock falls, flooding, dam wall failure and other incidents or conditions which could result in damage to plant or equipment or the environment and which could impact any future production throughout. Although it is intended to take adequate precautions to minimise risk, there is a possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations and its financial results. The Company will develop and maintain policies appropriate to the stage of development of its various projects. Staffing and Key Personnel Risks        The realisation of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the discovery and successful development of economic mineral reserves and is subject to a number of significant potential risks summarised as follows: Commodity price fluctuations; Foreign exchange risks; Uncertainties over development and operational costs; Political and legal risks, including arrangements with governments for licences, profit sharing and taxation; Currency exchange fluctuations and restrictions; Foreign investment risks including increases in taxes, royalties and renegotiation of contracts; and Liquidity risks. In addition to the above there can be no assurance that the current exploration program will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the successful discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, and the ability of the Company to raise additional financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in market conditions could require material write downs of the carrying value of the Company’s assets. Financial instrument risk The Company and Group are exposed to risks arising from financial instruments held. These are discussed in Note 20 to the Annual Financial Statements. Strategic risk Significant and increasing competition exists for mineral acquisition opportunities throughout the world. As a result of this competition, the Company may be unable to acquire rights to exploit additional attractive mining properties on terms it considers acceptable. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will acquire any interest in additional operations that would yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations. The Company expects to undertake sufficient due diligence where warranted to help ensure opportunities are subjected to proper evaluation. Commercial risk The mining industry is competitive and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of minerals are discovered, a profitable market will exist for the sale of such minerals. There can be no assurance that the quality of the minerals will be such that the Company properties can be mined at a profit. Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of any minerals discovered. Mineral prices are subject to volatile price changes from a variety of factors including international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, global and regional demand, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates and global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to improved mining and production methods. Ultimately, the Company expects that prior to a development decision; a project could be the subject of a feasibility analysis to ensure there exists an appropriate level of confidence in its economic viability. Funding risk In the past the Company has raised funds via equity contributions from new and existing shareholders, thereby ensuring the Company remains a going concern until such time that revenues are earned through the sale or development and mining of a mineral deposit. There can be no assurance that such funds will continue to be available on reasonable terms, or at all in future. The Directors regularly review cash flow requirements to ensure the Company can meet financial obligations as and when they fall due. KIBO MInIng PLC AnnuAL RePORt And ACCOunts 2014 6 6 7 Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel is critical to the Company’s success. The number of persons skilled in the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties is limited and competition for such persons is intense. While the Company has good relations with its employees, these relations may be impacted by changes in the scheme of labour relations which may be introduced by the relevant governmental authorities. Adverse changes in such legislation may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Staff are encouraged to discuss with management, matters of interest to the employees and subjects affecting day-to-day operations of the Company. Speculative Nature of Mineral Exploration and Development Development of the Company’s mineral exploration properties is, amongst others, contingent upon obtaining satisfactory exploration results and securing additional adequate funding. Mineral exploration and development involves substantial expenses and a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to adequately mitigate. The degree of risk reduces substantially when a Company’s properties move from the exploration phase to the development phase. The discovery of mineral deposits is dependent upon a number of factors including the technical skill of the exploration personnel involved. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit, once discovered, is also dependent upon a number of factors, including the size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, metal prices and government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection. In addition, several years can elapse from the initial phase of drilling until commercial operations are commenced. Political Stability The Company is conducting its activities in Tanzania. The Directors believe that the Government of Tanzania supports the development of natural resources by foreign investors and actively monitor the situation. However, there is no assurance that future political and economic conditions in Tanzania will not result in the Government of Tanzania adopting different policies regarding foreign development and ownership of mineral resources. Any changes in policy affecting ownership of assets, taxation, rates of exchange, environmental protection, labour relations, repatriation of income and return of capital, may affect the Company’s ability to develop the projects. Uninsurable Risks The Company may become subject to liability for accidents, pollution and other hazards against which it cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure because of prohibitive premium costs or for other reasons, such as amounts which exceed policy limits. Results The result for the year after providing for depreciation, impairments and taxation amounted to a profit of £2,125,004 for the year ended (31 December 2013: loss £15,583,337). Post Statement of Financial Position events There have been no material post statement of financial position events other than those stated in Note 21 to the annual financial statements. KIBO MINING PLC ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Haneti KIBO MINING PLC DIRECTORS’ REPORT Operational risk ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 In early 2015, the Company received the results of an independent geochemical assessment of its historic soil and rock sample multi-element analytical results for Haneti carried out on its behalf by Australian consultants.

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries are related to the exploration for and development of coal and other minerals in Tanzania. The figures in the financial statements are presented in Sterling unless otherwise stated. This summary forms part of the notes to the financial statements. Statement of Compliance As permitted by the European Union, the Group financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and their interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the EU (IFRS). The individual financial statements of the Company (“Company financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act, 1963 to 2014 which permits a Company that publishes its Company and Group financial statements together, to take advantage of the exemption in Section 148(8) of the Companies Act, 1963, from presenting to its members its Company Income Statement and related notes that form part of the approved Company financial statements. The IFRSs adopted by the EU as applied by the Company and the Group in the preparation of these financial statements are those that were effective at 31 December 2014. Statement of Accounting Policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. Basis of Preparation is exposed , or has rights, to variance return from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Group and Company financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis. The accounting policies have been applied consistently by Group entities. The Group and Company financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as explained on page 9. Use of Estimates and Judgements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with EU IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. In particular, there are significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements in the following  areas:   Measurement of the recoverable amounts of intangible assets; Recoverability of group loans in the parent Company: and Utilisation of tax losses Exploration and evaluation expenditure The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure results in the capitalisation of certain intangible mineral resources which are identified through business combinations or equivalent acquisitions. This policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established based on the separately identified mineral resources. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised the intangible mineral resources under the policy, a judgement is made that recovery of the intangible asset is unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the income statement. Recoverability of group loans in the parent Company The realisation of amounts due from Group undertakings is dependent on the discovery of economic reserves including the ability of the Group to raise sufficient finance to develop the projects in order to settle the group loan balance receivable. KIBO MInIng PLC AnnuAL RePORt And ACCOunts 2014 24 24 Assessing the recoverability of deferred income tax assets requires the Company to make significant estimates related to expectations of future taxable income. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecast cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realise the net deferred tax assets recorded at the end of the reporting period could be impacted. Revenue Recognition - Interest Revenue Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount. Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Kibo Mining Plc and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2014, over which the Company has control.    Control is achieved when the Company: has the power over the investee; The Company reassesses whether or not it controls and investee if facts are circumstance indicate the there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. impairment.

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries are related to the exploration for and development of coal and other minerals in Tanzania. The figures in the financial statements are presented in Sterling unless otherwise stated. This summary forms part of the notes to the financial statements. Statement of Compliance As permitted by the European Union, the Group financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and their interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the EU (IFRS). The individual financial statements of the Company (“Company financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act, 1963 to 2014 which permits a Company that publishes its Company and Group financial statements together, to take advantage of the exemption in Section 148(8) of the Companies Act, 1963, from presenting to its members its Company Income Statement and related notes that form part of the approved Company financial statements. The IFRSs adopted by the EU as applied by the Company and the Group in the preparation of these financial statements are those that were effective at 31 December 2014. Statement of Accounting Policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. Basis of Preparation The Group and Company financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis. The accounting policies have been applied consistently by Group entities. The Group and Company financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as explained on page 9. Use of Estimates and Judgements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with EU IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other In particular, there are significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements in the following sources. areas:    Measurement of the recoverable amounts of intangible assets; Recoverability of group loans in the parent Company: and Exploration and evaluation expenditure Utilisation of tax losses The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure results in the capitalisation of certain intangible mineral resources which are identified through business combinations or equivalent acquisitions. This policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established based on the separately identified mineral resources. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised the intangible mineral resources under the policy, a judgement is made that recovery of the intangible asset is unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the income statement. Recoverability of group loans in the parent Company The realisation of amounts due from Group undertakings is dependent on the discovery of economic reserves including the ability of the Group to raise sufficient finance to develop the projects in order to settle the group loan balance receivable. Assessing the recoverability of deferred income tax assets requires the Company to make significant estimates related to expectations of future taxable income. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecast cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realise the net deferred tax assets recorded at the end of the reporting period could be impacted. Revenue Recognition - Interest Revenue Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount. Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Kibo Mining Plc and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2014, over which the Company has control.  Control is achieved when the Company:  has the power over the investee;  is exposed , or has rights, to variance return from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Company reassesses whether or not it controls and investee if facts are circumstance indicate the there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Intragroup balances and any unrealised gains or losses or income or expenses arising from intragroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the Group financial statements, except to the extent they provide evidence of impairment. The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The cost of the business combination is measured as the aggregate of the fair values of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued. Costs directly attributable to the business combination are expensed as incurred, except the costs to issue debt which are amortised as part of the effective interest and costs to issue equity which are included in equity. The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities which meet the recognition conditions of IFRS 3 Business Combinations are recognised at their fair values at acquisition date. Contingent liabilities are only included in the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree where there is a present obligation at acquisition date. Non-controlling interest arising from a business combination is measured either at their share of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquiree or at fair value. The treatment is not an accounting policy choice but is selected for each individual business combination, and disclosed in the note for business combinations. Changes in the Group’s interest in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis. Intangible Assets Intangible assets comprise the acquisition of rights to explore in relation to the Group’s exploration and evaluation activities. Office equipment-between 12.5% to 37.5% straight line; Plant & machinery at 20% straight line; Furniture & fixtures at 12.5% straight line; Motor vehicles at 25% straight line; and I.T Equipment at 20% straight line Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. appropriate at each Statement of Financial Position date. The residual value and useful lives of the property, plant and equipment are reviewed annually and adjusted if Irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, the Group also tests intangible assets with an indefinite useful life or intangible assets not yet available for use for impairment annually by comparing its carrying amount with its recoverable amount. This impairment test is performed during the annual period and at the same time every period. Exploration & Evaluation Assets On disposal of property, plant and equipment the cost and the related accumulated depreciation and impairments are removed from the financial statements and the net amount, less any proceeds, is taken to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Income Tax Exploration and evaluation activity involves the search for mineral resources, the determination of technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource. Exploration and evaluation activity includes: • researching and analysing historical exploration data; • gathering exploration data through topographical, geochemical and geophysical studies; • exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling; • determining and examining the volume and grade of the resource; • surveying transportation and infrastructure requirements; and • conducting market and finance studies. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is charged to the income statement as incurred except in the following circumstances, in which case the expenditure may be capitalised: enacted by the reporting date. • In respect of minerals activities: – the exploration and evaluation activity is within an area of interest which was previously acquired as an asset acquisition or in a business combination and measured at fair value on acquisition; or the existence of a commercially viable mineral deposit has been established. – Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure considered to be tangible is recorded as a component of property, plant and equipment at cost less impairment charges. Otherwise, it is recorded as an intangible. to pay the related dividend is recognised. Foreign Currencies Functional and presentation currency Intangible assets all relate to exploration and evaluation expenditure which are carried at cost with an indefinite useful life and therefore are reviewed for impairment annually and when there are indicators of impairment. Where a potential impairment is indicated, assessment is performed for each area of interest in conjunction with the group of operating assets (representing a cash generating unit) to which the exploration is attributed. Exploration areas at which reserves have been discovered but require major capital expenditure before production can begin, are continually evaluated to ensure that commercial quantities of reserves exist or to ensure that additional exploration work is under way or planned. Impairment Assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income immediately. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost or valuation, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as 26 KIBO MInIng PLC AnnuAL RePORt And ACCOunts 2014 26 follows: Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the Income Statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they probably will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the Group’s presentation currency.

Issue Expenses and Share Premium Account Issue expenses are written off against the premium arising on the issue of share capital. Earnings per Share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Shareholder warrants The shareholder warrants entitle shareholders to a number of common shares based upon the number of shares they subscribed for at the date of issue of the warrant instrument. The warrants relate to a transaction with the equity holders as opposed to a transaction in exchange for any goods or services. The equity component of the instrument is not considered material and there is no liability component arising as a result of these warrants. Upon exercise of the warrant the proceeds received, net of attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital and where appropriate share premium. Share based payments For such grants of share options, the fair value as at the date of grant is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are likely to vest, except where forfeiture is only due to market based conditions not achieving the threshold for vesting. Share Capital Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised directly in equity.

Segment analysis IFRS 8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specific criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker.

Segment analysis IFRS 8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specific criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker. The Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating decision maker of the Group. Management currently identifies two divisions as operating segments – mining and corporate. These operating segments are monitored and strategic decisions are made based upon them together with other non-financial data collated from exploration activities.

Intangible assets Intangible assets consist solely of separately identifiable prospecting assets identified through business combinations, where these separately identifiable intangible assets will be recognised at fair value on acquisition date of said subsidiary. The following reconciliation serves to summarise the composition of intangible prospecting assets as at period end: Reconciliation of Intangible Assets Total (£) Pinewood Project (£) Rukwa Coal Project (£) 1,250,000 15,076,105 Lake Victoria Project (£) 1,700,000 Haneti Project (£) Valuation as at 1 January 2013 Impairment of prospecting licences Valuation as at 1 January 2014 Reversal of impairment of licences (820,00) 430,000 - (10,516,105) 4,560,000 - 1,700,000 - 3,028,509 21,054,614 - 3,028,509 - (11,336,105) 9,718,509 Impairment of prospecting licences Valuation as at 31 December 2014 Reversal of impairment of licences (430,00) - - - 12,713,865 8,153,865 - 1,700,00 - (3,028,509) - - (3,458,509) 14,413,865 8,153,865 Intangible assets are not amortised, due to the indefinite useful life which is attached to the underlying prospecting rights, until such time that active mining operations commence, which will result in the intangible asset being amortised over the useful life of the relevant mining licences. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are assessed for indications of impairment on an annual basis and also when there is an indication of impairment, against the prospective fair value of the intangible asset. The valuation of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life is reassessed on an annual basis through valuation techniques applicable to the nature of the intangible assets. In assessing whether a write-down is required in the carrying value of a potentially impaired intangible asset, the asset’s carrying value is compared with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The valuation techniques applicable to the valuation of the abovementioned intangible assets comprise a combination of fair market values, discounted cash flow projections and historic transaction prices. The following key assumptions influence the measurement of the intangible assets recoverable amounts, through utilising the value is use method in order to determine the recoverable amount:        Comparable market value of similar mineral statements; Currency fluctuations and exchange movements; Expected growth rates; Cost of capital related to funding requirements; Applicable discounts rates; Future operating expenditure for extraction and mining of measured mineral resources; and Co-operation of key project partners going forward. Through review of the project specific financial, operational, market and economic indicators applicable to the above intangible assets, impairment indicators were identified which required impairment of the intangible assets and reversal of impairments recognised in respect of selective exploration projects. Reversal of impairment Rukwa Coal Project The commencement of Stage 1, Phase 1 (Concept Study Report) of the Rukwa DMFS was announced in July 2014 with the appointment of South African consulting group Minxcon Projects (Minxcon) of South Africa to carry out the study. Based on the study, management has re-assessed the related intangible asset which indicated a reversal of impairment amounting to £8,153,865. KIBO MInIng PLC AnnuAL RePORt And ACCOunts 2014 36 36 The following key assumptions influence the measurement of the intangible assets recoverable amounts, through utilising the value is use method in order to determine the recoverable amount:        NPV of £12 million at 15-20% discount rate. Rukwa has an all – in cost margin of between 38% and 45% that is high compared to other coal mines. A capital investment of between USD46 million and USD89 million is required to fund the operation subject to the option investigated. The life of the project is estimated to be 27 years based on the most feasible model. The information utilised for valuation of the project was based on independent Competent Persons Reports prepared specifically for the project by independent organisations to the Group. The payback period for the Project is between 3.9 and 4.7 years. The previous impairment performed was based on resource estimations and not on the net present value determination as these became available from the latest Competent Persons Reports prepared during the Impairment current financial period. Haneti Project Due to the continued focus on the advanced coal and gold developments and resulting delay in the field exploration work related to the Haneti project, management has for financial reporting purposes reassessed the value in use of the Haneti project in line with the requirements of the financial reporting framework. The result indicated a downward adjustment in order to reflect the current resource listings, not taking into account the prospective value management attaches to the Haneti. Based on the latest management assessment of the related intangible asset indicated an impairment amounting to £3,028,509. Pinewood Project Due to the continued focus on the advanced coal and gold developments and resulting delay in the field exploration work related to the Pinewood project, management has relinquished a number of the uranium and coal licences in the prior and current period in order to focus on the most favourable areas. For financial reporting purposes management has reassessed the value in use of the Pinewood project in line with the requirements of the financial reporting framework. The result indicated a downward adjustment as the value in use indicators suggest there to be limited value encased within the Pinewood project as it currently stands. Based on the latest management assessment of the related intangible asset indicated an impairment amounting to £430,000. 37 KIBO MINING PLC ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS KIBO MINING PLC NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014     Impairment The following key assumptions influence the measurement of the intangible assets recoverable amounts, through utilising the value is use method in order to determine the recoverable amount:    NPV of £12 million at 15-20% discount rate.

Intangible assets Intangible assets consist solely of separately identifiable prospecting assets identified through business combinations, where these separately identifiable intangible assets will be recognised at fair value on acquisition date of said subsidiary. The following reconciliation serves to summarise the composition of intangible prospecting assets as at period end: Reconciliation of Intangible Assets Pinewood Rukwa Coal Project (£) Project (£) Lake Haneti Total (£) Victoria Project (£) 1,250,000 15,076,105 3,028,509 21,054,614 Project (£) 1,700,000 Valuation as at 1 January 2013 Impairment of prospecting licences Valuation as at 1 January 2014 Reversal of impairment of licences (820,00) 430,000 (10,516,105) 4,560,000 1,700,000 3,028,509 (11,336,105) 9,718,509 - - - - - - - - - - - Intangible assets are not amortised, due to the indefinite useful life which is attached to the underlying prospecting rights, until such time that active mining operations commence, which will result in the intangible asset being amortised over the useful life of the relevant mining licences. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are assessed for indications of impairment on an annual basis and also when there is an indication of impairment, against the prospective fair value of the intangible asset. The valuation of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life is reassessed on an annual basis through valuation techniques applicable to the nature of the intangible assets. In assessing whether a write-down is required in the carrying value of a potentially impaired intangible asset, the asset’s carrying value is compared with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The valuation techniques applicable to the valuation of the abovementioned intangible assets comprise a combination of fair market values, discounted cash flow projections and historic transaction prices. The following key assumptions influence the measurement of the intangible assets recoverable amounts, through utilising the value is use method in order to determine the recoverable amount:        Comparable market value of similar mineral statements; Currency fluctuations and exchange movements; Expected growth rates; Cost of capital related to funding requirements; Applicable discounts rates; Future operating expenditure for extraction and mining of measured mineral resources; and Co-operation of key project partners going forward.
