NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2010

NMBZ  HOLDINGS  LIMITED

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
for the year ended 31 December 2010

INTRODUCTION

The year witnessed a relatively stable economic environment which is attributable to the adoption of the multi – currency regime by the two year

old inclusive government.  The relative political stability and the re-engagement of the international community resulted in some growth in business
activity in the period under review with some lines of credit trickling into the country.

GROUP RESULTS

Compliance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the Companies Act (Chapter 24:03) and the Banking Act (Chapter 24:20).

Commentary  on  results

The profit before taxation was US$942 556 during the period under review.  An attributable profit of US$692 234 was recorded for the period.  Net
interest income was US$6 871 468 for the period. Non-interest income amounted to US$9 374 796 and this was mainly as a result of

commissions and fee income (US$9 691 069) which was partly offset by an unfavourable fair value adjustment on investment properties
(US$784 600).

Operating expenses amounted to US$15 365 768 and were driven largely by administration, staff related expenditure and an impairment loss on

land and buildings.  Staff related expenditure includes an amount of US$3.1 million for the retrenchment exercise which was concluded in August
2010.  The retrenchment of staff was necessary in order to streamline the Bank’s operations in line with business volumes in the dollarised

environment.

Impairment losses on loans and advances amounted to US$971 803 for the current period.  This is commensurate with the loans and advances
which amounted to US$57 913 589 at 31 December 2010.

The second half of the year recorded an after  tax profit of US$2.6 million which offset the loss recorded in the first half of the year.  The result for

the first half was affected adversely by the provision for retrenchment costs (US$2.6 million), the fair value adjustment on investment properties
(US$584 600) and the impairment loss on land and buildings (US$585 000).

Dividend

In view of the need to retain cash in the business and to buttress the statutory capital requirements for the Bank, the Board has proposed not to
declare a dividend.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

The Group’s total assets grew by 159% from US$39 707 931 as at 31 December 2009 to US$102 839 504 as at 31 December 2010 and
comprised mainly loans,  advances and other accounts (US$60 315 397), financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (US$17 299 592),

cash and short term funds (US$18 346 939), investment properties (US$2 615 000) and property and equipment (US$3 697 893).  Gross loans
and advances increased by 363% from US$12 509 344 as at 31 December 2009 to US$57 913 589 at 31December 2010 as a result of the

improved underwriting capacity from new capital raised during the period, an increase in onshore deposits and lines of credit of US$12 million
availed to the Bank.

NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Capital

The banking subsidiary’s capital adequacy ratio at 31 December 2010 calculated in accordance with the guidelines of the Reserve Bank of
Zimbabwe (RBZ) was 17.49% (31 December 2009 – 26.03%).  The minimum required by the RBZ is 10%.

The Group’s equity increased by 120% from US$8 568 005 as at 31 December 2009 to US$18 833 125 as at 31 December 2010 as a result of

new capital raised and retained earnings.

The rights issue exercise which was undertaken during the year in order to meet the banking subsidiary’s statutory minimum paid up capital of
US$12.5 million raised gross proceeds of US$10.28 million.    The amount raised has been used to recapitalise the Banking subsidiary and the

Holding company.  In late 2010, the Holding company acquired an associate interest in a leasing business.

OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY

The Group will continue to underwrite more business and explore value adding opportunities in the market.  The quest for lines of credit would be

an imperative in the outlook period in order to meet the growing funding requirements of our clients.

DIRECTORATE

Mr James Andrew Mushore was appointed the Group Chief Executive Officer on 23 April 2010.  Messrs Jonathan Chenevix – Trench and

James de la Fargue were appointed to the Board on 16 June 2010.  I welcome Messrs Mushore, Chenevix – Trench and de la Fargue to the
board and wish them a successful tenure in office.

Dr G M Mandishona and Mr C Chipato resigned from the board effective 17 August 2010.  Mr B P Washaya resigned from the Holding Company

Board with effect from 16 June 2010.  I would like to thank them all for their invaluable contribution to the Board over the years.  In particular, I
would like to pay special tribute to Dr. Gibson Mandishona, my predecessor as Chairman, who led the Bank through its most difficult and

challenging days in a most exemplary manner. We shall miss his wise counsel in the board room.  I was appointed Chairman of the Board on
17 August 2010.

APPRECIATION

I would like to express my utmost appreciation to our clients, shareholders and Regulatory Authorities for their continued support.  I would also
like to thank my fellow Board members, management and staff for their steadfast commitment and dedication.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY
for the year ended 31 December 2010

1.

RESPONSIBILITY

The Directors of the Company are mandated by the Companies Act to maintain adequate accounting records and to prepare financial

statements that present a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company at the end of each financial year. The information contained
in these financial statements has been prepared on a going concern basis and is in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act

[Chapter 24:03], the Banking Act [Chapter 24:20] and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).

2.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

In its operations, the Group is guided by principles of corporate governance derived from the King III Report, the United Kingdom Combined
Code and the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Corporate Governance Guideline. The directors of the Group are cognisant of their responsibility

to exercise the duty of care and act in good faith in order to safeguard all stakeholders’ interests.

3.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Board appointments are made in a manner that ensures an adequate mix of skills and expertise on the board. The majority of the Group’s
non-executive directors are independent and thus provide the necessary checks and balances on the board and ensure that the interests

of all stakeholders are taken into account in the decision making process. The Chairman of the board is an independent non-executive
director. The board is assisted by various committees in executing its responsibilities. The board meets at least quarterly to assess risk,

review financial performance, and provide guidance to management on operational and policy issues.

The board conducts an annual evaluation to assess its effectiveness and develop remedial action plans to address weaknesses noted from
the evaluation. The evaluation involves an assessment of collective board performance, the chairperson’s performance and individual

directors’ performance.

4.

INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS

The board is responsible for ensuring that effective internal control systems are implemented within the Group. The Group maintains internal

controls and systems designed to provide reasonable assurance of the integrity and reliability of its records, safeguard the assets of the
Group and prevent and detect fraud and errors. The Audit Committee in conjunction with the external auditors of the Group reviews and

assesses the internal control systems of the Group in key risk areas.

5.

GOING CONCERN

The Directors have assessed the ability of the Company to continue operating as a going concern and believe that the preparation of these
financial statements on a going concern basis is still appropriate. However, the Directors believe that under the current economic

environment a continuous assessment of the ability of the Company to continue to operate as a going concern will need to be performed
to determine the continued appropriateness of the going concern assumption that has been applied in the preparation of these financial

statements.

6.

INTERNAL AUDIT

The internal audit function has formally defined objectives, authority, and responsibilities enshrined in the Audit Charter, which principles are
consistent with those of the Institute of Internal Auditors. The function is guided by the Internal Audit Manual in conducting its activities. The

internal audit function is independent of business lines and has unrestricted access to the Audit Committee. The internal audit functions
include evaluating the effectiveness of the risk management systems, reviewing the systems of internal controls including internal financial

controls and the conduct of the Group’s operations.

11.

ETHICS

As a Group, we aim to ensure that we adhere to the highest standards of responsible business practice. In this regard, the Group’s values

include integrity and excellence. All of the Group’s employees are thus expected to adhere to the highest standards of personal integrity and
professional conduct. The Group monitors its staff conduct through the code of conduct and ensured through its anti money-laundering

policies that it did not conduct business with entities whose activities are harmful to the environment.

12.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, comprising the statement of

financial position, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flow as at 31 December
2010, together with the notes to the financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED

Report on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of NMBZ Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries as set out on page 16 to 80

which comprise the Company and Group statements of financial position as at 31 December 2010, and the group statement of comprehensive
income, the Company and Group statements of changes in equity and Group statement of cash flow for the year then ended, and a summary

of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ report, as set out on pages 16 to 80 and 4 to 10 respectively.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial statements

The Company’s directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in the manner required by the Companies Act (Chapter 24:03), the Banking Act (Chapter
24:20)and the statutory instruments SI 33/99 and SI 62/96, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the

preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance

with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The

procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair

presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting

policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NMBZ Holdings Limited and

its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2010, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
for the year ended 31 December 2010

ACCOUNTING CONVENTION

As the banking subsidiary, NMB Bank Limited, constitutes the major part of the Group, the financial statements have been presented in a form

applicable to a Commercial Bank registered in terms of the Banking Act (Chapter 24:20).  The financial statements are based on accounting
records maintained under the historical cost convention except for securities held for trading, land, buildings and investment properties which are

stated at fair value.  The Group’s financial statements are presented at least annually.

The following paragraphs describe the main accounting policies applied consistently by the Group.

Basis  of  preparation

The Group is resuming presentation of IFRS financial statements after early adoption of Revised IFRS1 First-time adoption of International
Financial Reporting Standards issued on 20 December 2010.  The Group failed to present IFRS financial statements for the financial year ended

31 December 2009 due to the effects of severe hyperinflation as defined in Revised IFRS1.  The first amendment replaces reference to a fixed
date of ‘1 January 2004 ‘with ‘the date of transition to IFRS’, which eliminates the requirement to reconstruct transactions that occurred before the

date of transition to IFRS.  These amendments provide guidance for entities emerging from severe hyperinflation to resume presenting IFRS
financial statements.  An entity can elect to measure assets and liabilities at fair value and to use the fair value as the deemed costs in its opening

IFRS statement of financial position.  The Group elected to use the severe hyper inflation exemption.

The effect of the application of this amendment is to render the opening statement of financial position, prepared on 1 January 2009 (date of transition
to IFRS) IFRS compliant.  The opening statement of financial position was reported in the prior year as not being compliant with International

Accounting Standard (IAS) 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates and IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary
Economies.  The Group’s previous functional currency, the Zimbabwe dollar (ZW$),was subjected to severe hyperinflation before the date of

transition to IFRS because it had both of the following characteristics:

(a)
(b)

a reliable general price index was not available to all entities with transactions and balances in the ZW$ and
exchange ability between the ZW$ and a relatively stable foreign currency did not exist.

The Group changed its functional and presentation currency from the ZW$ to the United States dollar (US$) with effect from 1 January 2009.

 Deemed cost exemption

The Group elected to measure certain items of property and equipment, loans and other receivables, inventories and deposits and other payables

at fair value and to use the fair value as the deemed cost of those assets and liabilities in the opening IFRS statement of financial position.

Comparative  financial  information

The financial statements comprise three statements of financial position, two statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash

flows as a result of the retrospective application of the Amendments to IFRS 1.  The comparative statements of comprehensive income, changes
in equity and cash flows are for twelve months.

Reconciliation  of  previously  prepared  to  IFRS  compliant  financial  statements.

In preparing its opening IFRS statement of financial position, the Group had not adjusted amounts previously determined in accordance with the
Guidance on Change in Functional Currency 2009.  As amounts have not changed, reconciliations have not been presented.

NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2010

NMBZ  HOLDINGS  LIMITED

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
for the year ended 31 December 2010

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Business combinations are accounted for in accordance with the Acquisition Method.  This involves recognising identifiable assets (including

previously unrecognised intangible assets) and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and excluding future restructuring) of the acquired
business at fair value.

Basis  of  consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries.  All companies in the Group have

a December year end.  Inter-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are those enterprises controlled by the company.  Control exists when the company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern

the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities.  The financial statements of subsidiaries are included
in the consolidated financial statements, using the Acquisition Method, from the date that control effectively commences until the date that control

effectively ceases.  Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non – controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance.

In the Holding Company’s separate financial statements investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost.

Associates

The Group’s investment in its associate is accounted for using the equity method. An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant
influence.  Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post acquisition

changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment
and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment.

The income statement reflects the share of the results of operations of the associate. Where there has been a change recognised directly in the

equity of the associate, the Group recognises its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity.
Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the

associate.  The share of profit of an associate is shown on the face of the income statement. This is the profit attributable to equity holders of the
associate and therefore is profit after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the associate.  The financial statements of the associate

are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.  After application of the equity method,
the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an additional impairment loss on the Group’s investment in its associate. The Group

determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case the
Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and

recognises the amount in the ‘share of profit of an associate’ in the income statement. Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the
Group measures and recognises any retaining investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss

of significant influence and the fair value of the retaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

Trade  investments

Trade investments comprise interests in unquoted equities and are accounted for at fair value.

NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2010

NMBZ  HOLDINGS  LIMITED

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
for the year ended 31 December 2010

Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is recognised as an asset and is measured initially at its cost, being the excess of the cost of the
business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired

entity.  Subsequently, the goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicated that it might
be impaired.  Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.  If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair values of the identifiable net assets

acquired, the discount on acquisition is recognised directly in profit or loss in the year of acquisition.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

The  consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (US$), which is also the parent Company’s functional currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction.  Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated at the closing rate at the reporting date.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured

at historical cost denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates ruling at the transaction date.  Foreign exchange
differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss.

Non – monetary items measured at fair value in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was
determined.

TAXATION

Current  taxation
Income tax on the statement of comprehensive income for the year comprises current and deferred tax.  Income tax is recognised in profit or loss
except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case the related tax is also recognised

in equity or other comprehensive income.

Current tax is expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date and any

adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred  taxation
Provision for deferred taxation is made using the liability method in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.  Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable

temporary differences, except:
•

Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business
combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither  the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary
differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary  differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

•

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the

extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused
tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised except:
•

Where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a
transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
and
In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the
extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which
the temporary differences can be utilised.

TAXATION  (Cont’d)

Deferred taxation (Cont’d)
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities,
using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates

that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted
or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be

utilised.  The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.  Unrecognised deferred tax assets are

reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax
asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in equity or other comprehensive income, in which

case the related tax is also recognised in equity or other comprehensive income.

Financial  institutions  levy
Financial institutions levy is accrued at the prescribed rate, which is currently 5% on profit before taxation from the banking subsidiary.

DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION

Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the period in which the dividends are approved by the
Company’s shareholders.

IMPAIRMENT LOSSES ON LOANS AND ADVANCES

Impairment
A provision for loan impairment is established if there is objective evidence as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial

recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event”) that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual
terms of loans.  The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, being the present value

of expected cash flows, including amounts recoverable from guarantees and collateral, discounted at the original effective interest rate of loans.

The loan loss provision also covers losses where there is objective evidence that incurred losses are present in components of the loan portfolio
at the reporting date.  These have been estimated based upon historical patterns of losses in each component, the credit ratings allocated to the

borrowers and reflecting the current economic climate in which the borrowers operate.  When a loan is uncollectible, it is written off against the
related provision for impairment; subsequent recoveries are credited to the profit or loss.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an

allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.  If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss
increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is

increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account.  If a future write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited in profit or loss.

Regulatory  Guidelines  And  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  Requirements  In  Respect
Of  The  Group’s  Banking  Activities

The Banking Regulations 2000 issued by the RBZ give guidance on provisioning for doubtful debts and stipulate certain minimum percentages to

be applied to the respective categories of the loan book.

International Accounting Standard 39 (IAS 39), Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS39) prescribes the provisioning for
impairment losses based on the actual loan losses incurred in the past applied to the sectoral analysis of book debts and the discounting of

expected cash flows on specific problem accounts.

The two prescriptions are likely to give different results.  The Board has taken the view that where the IAS 39 charge is less than the amount
provided for in the Banking Regulations, the difference is recognised directly in equity as a transfer  from retained earnings to a regulatory reserve

and where it is more, the full amount will be charged to profit or loss.

Non-Performing  Loans

Interest on loans and advances is accrued to income until such time as reasonable doubt exists about its recoverability, thereafter and until all or
part of the loan is written off, interest continues to accrue on customer’s accounts but is not included in income.  Such suspended interest is

deducted from loans and advances in the statement of financial position.  This policy meets the requirements of the Banking Regulations, 2000.

Renegotiated  Loans  and  Advances

Where possible, the Group seeks to restructure loans rather than to take possession of collateral.  This may involve extending the payment

arrangements and the agreement of new loan conditions.  Once the terms have been re-negotiated, any impairment is measured using the original
effective interest rate (EIR) as calculated before the modification of terms and the loan is no longer considered past due.  Management continuously

renews re-negotiated loans to ensure that all criteria are met and that future payments are likely to occur.  The loans continue to be subject to an
individual or collective impairment assessment, calculated using the loans original EIR.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The classification of financial instruments at initial recognition depends on the purpose and the management’s intention for which the financial
instruments were acquired and their characteristics. All financial instruments are measured initially at their fair value plus transaction costs, except

in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at fair value through profit or loss.

All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the bank becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument. This includes “regular way trades”: purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame

generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

Classification

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss include financial assets and liabilities held for trading i.e. those that

the Group principally holds for the purpose of short-term profit taking as well as those that were, upon initial recognition, are designated by the entity
as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.  There is no reclassification into or out of this category as per IAS 39.

Management only designate an instrument at fair value through profit and loss upon initial recognition when the following criteria are met, and
designation is determined on an instrument by instrument basis:

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
for the year ended 31 December 2010

Classification  (Cont’d)
•

the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or
liabilities or recognising gains or losses on them on a different basis; or

•

•

the assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both which are managed and their performance evaluated
on a fair  value basis, in accordance  with the documented risk management or investment strategy; or

the financial instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives which significantly modify the cash flows that otherwise would be
required by the contract.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Group has the
positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

Financial assets available-for-sale are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified as loans and

receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.  Equity investments classified as available –for-
sale are those which are neither classified as held for trading nor designated at fair value through profit or loss.  Debt securities in this category

are those which are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time and which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or in response to
changes in the market conditions.  The Group has not designated any loans or receivables as available – for –sale.

Deposits and other payables are non-trading financial liabilities payable on demand at variable interest rates.

Own  equity  instruments

Reacquired own instruments are measured at cost and are presented in the statement of financial position as a deduction from equity. No gain or
loss is recognised in the profit or loss on the sale, issuance or cancellation of these instruments. Consideration received is presented in the

financial statements as a change in equity.

Measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss and available for sale financial assets
are measured at fair value, except that any instrument that does not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot

be reliably measured is stated at cost, less impairment losses.

Held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost less impairment losses. Amortised cost is calculated
using the effective interest rate method. Premiums and discounts, including initial transaction costs, are included in the carrying amount of the

related instrument and amortised based on the effective interest rate of the instrument.

Deposits and other payables are measured at amortised cost applying the effective interest.

Effective interest rate method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the interest
income or interest expense over the relevant period.  The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future  cash payments

or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset
or financial liability.

Amortised cost measurement principles

Amortised cost is computed using the effective interest method.  The calculation takes into account any premium or discount on acquisition and
includes transaction costs and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

Fair value measurement principles
The fair value of financial instruments is based on their quoted market price at the reporting date without any deduction for transaction costs. If a

quoted market price is not available, the fair value of the instrument is estimated using pricing models or discounted cash flow techniques.

Where discounted cash flow techniques are used, estimated future cash flows are based on management’s best estimates and the discount rate
is a market related rate at the reporting date for an instrument with similar terms and conditions. Where pricing models are used, inputs are based

on market related measures at the reporting date.

Gains and losses on subsequent measurement
Gains and losses arising from a change in the fair value of available for sale assets are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and

accumulated in equity. When the financial assets are sold, collected or otherwise disposed of the cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity in
recycled through other comprehensive income into profit or loss.

Gains and losses arising from a change in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities through profit and loss are recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition

Financial  assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:
•

The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

•

The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in
full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either:

-
-

the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred   control of the

asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither

transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent
of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset.  In that case, the Group also recognizes an associated liability.  The transferred asset and the

associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of

the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Financial  liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.   Where an existing financial liability
is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such

an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the
respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment  of  financial  assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.
A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one

Impairment of financial assets (Cont’d)
or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event”) and that the loss event has an impact on the

estimated future cash flows from the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.  Evidence of impairment may
include indications that the debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest and principal

payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial re-organisation and where observable data indicate that there is a
measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

Financial  assets  carried  at  amortised  cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments carried at amortised cost has been
incurred , the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash

flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (ie the effective
interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced either directly or through use of an allowance

account. The amount of the loss shall be recognised in profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after
the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the previously recognised impairment loss shall be

reversed either directly or by adjusting an allowance account. The reversal shall not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds
what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The amount of the

reversal shall be recognised in profit or loss.

Financial  assets  carried  at  cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because
its fair value cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity

instrument, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the present
value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment losses shall not

be reversed.

SHARE - BASED PAYMENTS

The Group issues share options to certain employees in terms of the Employee Share Option Scheme which is an equity settled share-based

payment scheme.  Share options are measured at fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.  The fair value determined at the grant date
of the options is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.  Fair

value is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing 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 other behavioural considerations.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.  Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of
the equipment when that cost is incurred, if the recognition criteria are met.  Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized

in the carrying amount of the equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied.  The previous remaining carrying amount is
derecognized.  All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the profit or loss as incurred.

NMBZ  HOLDINGS  LIMITED

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
for the year ended 31 December 2010

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT (Cont’d)

Land and buildings are measured at revalued amount less accumulated depreciation on buildings and impairment losses recognized after the date
of the revaluation.  Revaluation of property is done half yearly and at the end of each reporting period, by a registered professional valuer.

Any revaluation surplus is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the assets revaluation reserve included in the equity

section of the statement of financial position, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized
in  profit or loss, in which case the increase is recognized in profit or loss.  A revaluation deficit is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent

that it offsets an existing surplus on the same asset recognized in the asset revaluation reserve, the decrease in other comprehensive income
reduces the amount accumulated in equity as the asset revaluation reserve, the decrease in other comprehensive income reduces the amount

accumulated in equity as the asset revaluation reserve.  Upon disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to the particular asset being sold is
transferred to retained earnings.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount
of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognized.

Residual values and the useful life of assets are reviewed at least at each financial year end.  Where the residual value of an asset increases to

an amount that is equal to or exceeds its carrying amount, then the depreciation of the asset ceases.  Depreciation will resume only when the
residual value decreases to an amount below the asset’s carrying amount.

Owned  Assets

The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of attributable overheads which are

directly attributable to the assets.

Depreciation

Depreciable amount is the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost less its residual value.  Depreciation is provided to write off the

depreciable amount of property and equipment over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values at the following rates per annum,
on a straight-line basis.

Land and capital work-in-progress are not depreciated.

Borrowing  costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to
get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the

period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

The Group capitalises borrowing costs for all eligible assets.

Leasing

The determination of whether an arrangement is a lease, or it contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an
assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right

to use the asset.

Group Company as a lessee

Leases which do not transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased items are operating leases.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.  Contingent rentals payable

are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Group Company as lessor
Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the assets are classified as operating leases.

Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term
on the same basis as rental income.  Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

Impairment  of  non  –  financial  assets

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non- financial assets other than consumables and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.  The

recoverable amount of assets is the greater of their fair value less cost to sell and value in use.  In assessing value in use, the estimated future
cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money

and the risks specific to the asset.  In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used.  Impairment losses of
continuing operations are recognised in profit or loss in those expense categories consistent with the functions of the impaired asset, except for

property previously revalued where the revaluation was taken to other comprehensive income.  In this case, the impairment is also recognised
in other comprehensive income up to the amount of any previous revaluation.  For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each

reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist, or may have decreased.
If such an indication exists the bank estimates the assets or CGU’s recoverable.

A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the assets recoverable

amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.

The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceeds the carrying amount that
would have been determined,  net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.  Such reversal is

recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs.  The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an

existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met, and excludes the costs of day to day servicing of
an investment property.  Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the

reporting date.  Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the year in which
they arise.

Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from

use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal.  Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are
recognised in profit or  loss in the year of retirement or disposal.

Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use.  For a transfer from investment property to owner occupied

property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use.  If owner occupied property becomes an
investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property and equipment up to the date of

change in use.

FINANCIAL GUARANTEES

In the ordinary course of business, the Group companies give financial guarantees, consisting of letters of credit, guarantees and acceptances.

Financial guarantees are initially recognised in the financial statements at fair value, being the premium received.  Subsequent to initial recognition,
the Group’s liability under each guarantee is measured at the higher of the amount initially recognised less, where appropriate, cumulative

amortisation recognised in profit or loss, and the best estimate of expenditure required to settle any financial obligation arising as a result of the
guarantee.

Any increase in the liability relating to financial guarantees is recognised in the profit or loss.  The premium received is recognised in profit or loss

on a straight line basis over the life of the guarantee, or in full, depending on the conditions attached to the guarantee.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income includes income arising out of the banking activities of lending and investing.  Interest income is recognised in profit or loss as it

accrues taking into account the effective yield on the asset and where appropriate, premiums/discounts on debt securities are amortised using the
effective interest rate method.

INTEREST  EXPENSE

Interest expense arises from deposit taking.  The expense is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues, taking into account the effective interest cost
of the liability.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Other income comprises of income such as revenue derived from service fees, commission, facility arrangement fees, bad debts recoveries and
profit/losses on disposals of property and equipment.  Commission income is brought to account on an accrual basis and bad debts recoveries

on a receipt basis. Service fee income is recognised on settlement date, or where determinable, by stage of completion.  Arrangement fee income
is deferred and recognised over the tenure of the facility.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Retirement benefits are provided for the Group’s employees through a defined contribution plan and the National Social Security Authority
Scheme.

Defined  Contribution  Plan

Obligations for contribution to the defined contribution pension plan are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as they are incurred.

National  Social  Security  Authority  Scheme

The cost of retirement benefits applicable to the National Social Security Authority, which commenced operations on 1 October 1994 is determined
by the systematic recognition of legislated contributions.

INVENTORY

Inventory is accounted for at weighted average cost.

PROVISIONS

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an

outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of
the obligation.  The expense relating to any provision is presented in profit or loss net of any reimbursements.

MATTERS OF EMPHASIS

2.1.1

Functional and reporting currency

The Company changed its functional and reporting currency from the Zimbabwe dollar to the United States dollar with effect from 1 Janu-
ary 2009.  These financial statements are reported in United States of  America dollars and rounded to the nearest dollar.

Following the guidance issued jointly by the PAAB, ZAPB and ZSE the balances as at 1 January 2009 were taken on in United States

of America dollars as follows:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Land, buildings and investment properties valuations were based on the foreign currency valuation done by the directors for the
2008 year end.

Motor vehicles, office equipment, furniture and fittings valuation was done by the directors based on market values obtained from
the market taking into account the relative ages of the assets.

Loans and advances were re-established by reference to the foreign currency amount where the repayment was due and payable
in foreign currency.

Quoted investments were based on the equity prices ruling on 1 January 2009, and in the case of shares traded on the Zimbabwe
Stock Exchange (ZSE), the 30 day average prices from 19 February 2009 (the first date of active trading in foreign currency on

the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE)) were used.
Liabilities were re-established on the basis of the obligations which were due and payable in foreign currency, or by reference to

payments which were made after 1 January 2009 for an accrual at 31 December 2008.
Other assets and liabilities were taken on by reference to the foreign currency amounts at 1 January 2009, or at the first available

foreign currency pricing subsequent to the change in functional currency
The share option reserve was established using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on retrospective application of the model

with reference to parameters established subsequent to 19 February 2009, the first date of active trading in foreign currency on the
Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE).

The net effect of the re-establishment of the Group’s assets and liabilities at 1 January 2009 resulted in a functional currency reserve,
the amount of which was credited to a non-distributable reserve.

The re-established amounts for the Group’s assets and liabilities at 1 January 2009 were taken as the deemed costs/values at the date of

change of the functional currency.

In the year under review the non-distributable reserve was utilised in the redenomination of share capital after the requisite shareholder
approvals on 17 June 2010 and the subsequent regulatory approvals.

2.2

USE OF ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that

affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.  Actual results may differ
from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period

in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements which have the most
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements:

2.2.1 Deferred  tax  liability

In determining the amounts used for taxation purposes for assets purchased (in ZWD) prior to 1 January 2009 the directors referred to

applicable effective exchange rates at the date of acquisition of assets or incurring of liabilities.  The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA),
announced provisional methods to account for the deferred tax arising on assets purchased in ZWD.  These methods require the preparer

to first estimate the equivalent USD value of those assets at the time of purchase.  Since the measurement of transactions in Zimbabwe
dollars in the prior periods is affected by several economic variables such as mode of payment and hyperinflation this is an area where the

directors have had to apply their judgement and acknowledge there could be significant variations in the results achieved depending on
assumptions made.

2.2.2  Land and buildings

The properties were valued by professional valuers.  The valuer applied the rental yield method to assess fair value of land and buildings.
The determined fair value of land and buildings is most sensitive to the estimated yield as well as the long term vacancy rate.  In addition,

the property market is currently not stable due to liquidity constraints and hence comparable values are also not stable.

2.2.3 Investment  property  and  equipment

Investment property was valued by professional valuers.

The professional valuers considered comparable market evidence of recent sale transactions and those transactions where firm offers had
been made but awaiting acceptance.  In addition, the property market is currently not stable due to liquidity constraints and hence

comparable values are also not stable.

The directors exercised their judgement in determining the residual values of the other property and equipment which have been determined
as nil.

2.2.4 RBZ Forex Bond

The RBZ Forex Bond was valued at cost as there is currently no market information to facilitate the application of fair value principles.  There

is currently no active market for these bonds.

2.2.5 Impairment  losses  on  loans  and  advances

The Bank reviews its individually significant loans and advances at each reporting date to assess whether an impairment loss should be
recorded in profit or loss.  In particular, judgement by management is required in the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows

when determining the impairment loss.  In  estimating these cash flows, the Bank makes judgements about the borrower’s financial situation
and the net realisable value of collateral.  These estimates are based on assumptions about a number of factors and actual results may differ,

resulting in future changes to the allowance.  Loans and advances that have been assessed individually and found not to be impaired and
all individually insignificant loans and advances are then assessed collectively, in groups of assets with similar risk characteristics, to

determine whether provision should be made due to incurred loss events for  which there is objective evidence but whose effects are not
yet evident.  The collective assessment takes account of data from the loan portfolio (such as credit quality, levels of arrears, credit

utilisation, loan to collateral ratios etc.), concentrations of risks and economic data.

The impairment loss on loans and advances is disclosed in more detail under Significant Accounting Policies – Impairment losses on loans
and advances.

2.2.6 Going  concern

The Directors have assessed the ability of the Group to continue operating as a going concern and believe that the preparation of these
financial statements on a going concern basis is still appropriate.  However, the Directors believe that under the current economic

environment a continuous assessment of the ability of the Group to continue to operate as a going concern will need to be performed to
determine the continued appropriateness of the going concern assumption that has been applied in the preparation of these financial

statements.

2.2.7 RBZ  Statutory  reserves

The statutory reserves are stated at cost as IFRS principles of  amortised cost could not be applied due to the significant uncertainty as to
the expected receipt date.

2.3

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

 The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS), and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations, (IFRIC) interpretations as issued by the International Accounting Standards

Board (IASB).  The financial statements are based on statutory records that are maintained under the historical cost convention as modified
by the revaluation of property, plant and equipment and investment property.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the Companies Act (Chapter 24:03) and the Banking Act

(Chapter 24:20).

The Group presents its statement of financial position broadly in order of liquidity. An analysis regarding recovery or settlement within 12

months after the reporting date (current) and more than  12  months after  the reporting date (non-current) is presented in note 23.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position only when there is a legally
enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liability

simultaneously. Income and expense will not be offset in the consolidated profit or loss unless required or permitted by any accounting
standard or interpretation, as specifically disclosed in the accounting policies of the Group.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND DISCLOSURES

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as follows:

The Group has adopted the following new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations as of 1 January 2010:
•

IFRS 2 Share-based Payment: Group cash – settled share-based Payments Arrangements effective 1 January 2010.

When the adoption of the standard or interpretation is deemed to have an impact on the financial statements or performance of the Group,
its impact is described below:

IFRS 2 Share-based Payment (Revised)

The IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 2 that clarified the scope and the accounting for group cash-settled share-based payment
transactions. The Group adopted this amendment as of 1 January 2009. It did not have an impact on the financial position or performance

of the Group.

Other amendments resulting from Improvements to IFRSs to the following standards did not have any impact of the accounting policies,
financial position or performance of the Group:

•
•

IFRIC 17 Distribution of Non-cash Assets to Owners
IFRIC 18 Transfer of assets from customers

2.5

STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Group’s consolidated financial statements are listed below.  This listing
is of standards and interpretations issued, which the bank reasonably expects to be applicable at a future date.  The bank intends to adopt

those standards when they become effective.

IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (Amendment)

The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 2011.  It clarified the definition  of a related party to simplify the

identification of such relationships an d to eliminate inconsistencies in its application. The revised standard introduces a partial exemption
of disclosure requirements for government – related entities.  The bank does not expect any impact on its financial position or performance.

Early adoption is permitted for either the partial exemption for government – related entities or for the entire standard.

IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation – Classification of Rights Issues

The amendment to IAS 32 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010 and amended the definition of a financial

liability in order to classify rights issues (and certain options or warrants) as equity instruments in cases where such rights are given pro
rata to all of the existing owners of the same class of an entity’s non – derivative equity instruments, or to acquire a fixed number of the

entity’s own equity instruments for a fixed amount in any currency.  This amendment will have no impact on the bank after initial application.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement

IFRS 9 as issued reflects the first phase of the IASBs work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification and  measure-
ment of financial assets and liabilities as defined in IAS 39.  The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

In subsequent phases, the Board will address impairment and hedge accounting.  The completion of this project is expected in mid 2011.
The adoption of the first phase of IFRS 9 will primarily have an effect on the classification and measurement of the bank’s financial assets.

The Group is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 9, however, the impact of adoption depends on the assets held by the Group
at the date of adoption, it is practical to quantify the effect.

IFRIC 14 Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement (Amendment)

The amendment to IFRIC 14 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 with retrospective application.  The

amendment provides guidance on assessing the recoverable amount of a net pension asset.  The amendment permits an entity to treat the
prepayments of a minimum funding requirement as an asset.  The amendment is expected to have no impact on the financial statements

of the bank.

IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments

IFRIC 19 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010.  The interpretation clarifies that equity instruments issued to a
creditor to extinguish a financial liability qualify as consideration paid.  The equity instruments issued are measured at the fair value.  In case

this cannot be reliably measured, they are measured at the fair value of the liability extinguished.  Any gain or loss is recognised imme-
diately in profit or loss.  The adoption of  this interpretation will have no effect on the financial statements of the Group.

Improvements to IFRS (issued in May 2010)

The IASB issued Improvements to IFRSs, an omnibus of amendments to its IFRS standards.  The amendments have not been adopted
as they become effective for annual periods on or after either 1 July 2010 or 1 January 2011.  The amendments are listed below.

•

•
•

•
•

IFRS 3 Business Combinations.

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes

The Group, however, expects no impact from the adoption of the amendments on its financial position or performance.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

For management purposes, the Group is organised into four operating segments based on products and services as follows:

Retail banking
-
Corporate banking      -
Treasury

Individual customers deposits and consumer loans, overdrafts, credit card facilities and funds transfer facilities.
Loans and other credit facilities and deposit and current accounts for corporate and institutional customers.

- Money market investment, securities trading, accepting and discounting of instruments and

International banking -

foreign currency trading.
Handles the Group’s foreign currency denominated banking business and manages
relationships with correspondent banks

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about  resource allocation
and performance assessment.  Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss which in certain respects is measured

differently from operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. Income taxes are managed on a Group basis and are not
allocated to operating segments.

Interest income is reported net as management primarily relies on net interest revenue as a performance measure, not the gross income
and expense.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on arm’s length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

No revenue from transactions with a single external customer  or counterparty amounted to 10% or more of the bank’s total revenue in 2010
or 2009.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of NMBZ Holdings Limited

by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of NMBZ Holdings Limited adjusted for
the after tax effect of: (a) any dividends or other items related to dilutive potential ordinary shares deducted in arriving at profit or loss

attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity;  (b) any interest recognised in the period related to dilute potential ordinary shares;
(c) any other changes in income or expense that would result from the conversion of the dilutive potential ordinary shares, by the weighted

average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued
on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

Headline earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of NMBZ Holdings Limited (excluding

separately identifiable re-measurements, relating to any change in the carrying amount of an asset or liability, net of related tax (both current
and deferred), other than re-measurements specifically included in headline earnings) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares

outstanding during the year.

Nature and  purpose of reserves

•
•

•

the shares issued to shareholders in terms of a right issue exercise concluded in August 2010
 upon exercise of share options by officers and key management personnel of the group,

the excess reserves above  the stated nominal price per share in terms of  the redenomination of share capital during the year.

Share  option  reserve

The share option reserve is used to recognise the value of equity – settled share based payment transactions providedto employees, in-

cluding key management personnel, as part of their remuneration.  Refer to note 31.3 for further details of these plans.

Treasury  shares

This reserve represents the reduction in equity arising from the shareholding in the Group company held by a subsidiary.  Refer to note 10.3
for further details of these own equity instruments.

Regulatory  reserve

This reserve represents the excess of the Banking Regulations allowance for impairment losses on loans and advances

amount compared to the IAS 39 allowance for impairment losses on loan and advances.

Non  –  distributable  reserve

The non-distributable reserve resulted from the net effect of the re-establishment of the Group’s assets and liabilities at 1 January 2009.  Refer

to note 2.1.1 for further details of this reserve.  This reserve was applied during the year to the redenomination of share capital and share
premium reserve after the requisite shareholder approvals on 17 June 2010 and the subsequent regulatory approvals.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current

transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate
the fair values:

•

•
•

•

Cash and cash equivalents, advances and other accounts, deposits and other accounts and provision for taxation approximate
their carrying amounts largely due to the short – term maturities of these instruments.

Fair value of quoted and other investments is derived from quoted market prices in active markets if available.
Fair value of trade investments is derived from the Group’s proportionate share of the net asset value of associate investments.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit  and loss is derived from quoted market prices in active
markets.  If quoted market prices are not available the fair value is estimated using pricing models or discounted cash flow

techniques.

Fair  value  hierarchy

As at 31 December 2010, the Group held the following financial instruments measured at fair value:

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly

or indirectly.
Techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on desirable market

Level 3:

data.

The Group enters into various irrevocable commitments and contingent liabilities in its normal course of business in order to meet financial
needs of customers.  These obligations are not recognised on the statement of financial position, but contain credit risk and are therefore part

of the overall risk of the Group.

Guarantees commit the Group to make payments on behalf of clients in the event of a specified act.  Guarantees carry the same credit risk
as loans.

Commitments to lend represent contractual commitments to advance loans and revolving credits.  Commitments have fixed expiry dates
and may expire without being drawn upon, hence total contract amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Stock Exchange prices for the trading day immediately preceding the date of offer.  The options vest immediately from date of issue and the
fair value of the options is estimated at the grant date using the Black – Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and

conditions upon which the instruments were granted.

RISK  MANAGEMENT

In the ordinary course of business the Group manages risks of all forms especially operational, market, liquidity and credit risks. These risks

are identified and monitored through various channels and mechanisms.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework.  The Board
has established the Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) and operational risk committees, which are responsible for

developing and monitoring Group risk management policies in their specified areas.  The Group has a Risk Management department, which
reports to the Chief Executive Officer and is responsible for the management of the overall risk profile.

The Group risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and

controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits.  Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes
in market conditions, products and services offered.

The Group Risk Committee which is responsible for monitoring compliance with the Group risk management policies and procedures, and

for reviewing the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group, is assisted in these functions by
Internal Audit and Risk Management.  Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad-hoc reviews of risk management controls and

procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee and the Risk Committee.

The Group main objective is to contain the risk inherent within the financial services sector and to ensure that the Group various risk profiles
are understood and appropriately managed to the benefit of customers, shareholders and other stakeholders.

34.1 Credit  risk

Credit risk is the risk that a financial contract will not be honoured according to the original set of terms.  The risk arises when borrowers
or counterparties to a financial instrument fail to meet their contractual obligations.  The Board has put in place sanctioning committees which

operate according to the amount requested by an applicant. The Credit Risk Management department reviews all applications.  This initial
review allows only those applications that do not unduly expose the Group to credit risk to be considered by the sanctioning committees.

34.1.1 Management of credit risk

The Board has delegated responsibility for the management of credit risk to its Loans Review Committee.  The Credit Risk Management
department which also reports to the Loan review committee is responsible for oversight of the Group credit risk, including:

•

•

•

•
•

•
•

Formulating credit policies in consultation with business units, covering collateral requirements, credit assessment, risk grading and
reporting, documentary and legal procedures, and compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements.

Establishing the authorization structure for the approval and renewal of credit facilities.  Facilities require authorization by Head of
Credit Risk, executive directors, Loans Review Committee or the Board of Directors depending on amount as per set limits.

The Credit Risk department assesses all credit exposures in excess of designated limits, prior to facilities being committed to clients
by the business unit concerned.  Renewals and reviews of facilities are subject to the same review process.

Limiting concentrations of exposure to counter parties and industry for loans and advances.
Maintaining and monitoring the risk gradings as per the RBZ requirement in order to categorise exposures according to the degree

of risk of financial loss faced and to focus management on the attendant risks.  The current risk grading framework consists of five
grades reflecting varying degrees of risk of default and the availability of collateral or other credit risk mitigation.

Reviewing compliance of business units with agreed exposure limits, including those for selected industries.
Providing advice, guidance and specialist skills to business units to promote best practice throughout the Group in the management

of credit risk.

RISK  MANAGEMENT  (Cont’d)

34.2 Market  risk

This arises from adverse movements in the market place, which occur in the money market (interest rate risk), foreign exchange and equity

markets in which the Group operates.  The Group is currently developing VaR (Value at Risk) model which will be used to manage and
monitor the market risk for the trading portfolio.

The Group has in place an Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO), which comprises the departmental heads of Risk,

Treasury, Corporate and Retail banking and Finance, in addition to executive directors. The committee monitors these risks and recom-
mends the appropriate levels to which the Group should be exposed at any time. The approval of all dealing limits ultimately rests with this

committee.

The market risk for the non - trading portfolio is managed by monitoring the sensitivity of Group’s financial assets and liabilities to vari-
ous interest rate scenarios. The bank monitors its net interest margin as a primary measure of interest rate conditions.  On foreign exchange

risk, the bank monitors currency mismatches and make adjustments depending on exchange rate movement forecasts.  The mismatches
are also contained within 10% of the bank’s capital position.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonable change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Bank’s

statement of comprehensive income.

The sensitivity of the statement of comprehensive income is the effect of the assumed changes in interest rates on the profit or loss for the
year, based on the variable and fixed interest rate financial assets and liabilities held at 31 December.

RISK  MANAGEMENT  (Cont’d)

34.4  Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that operations cannot be funded and financial commitments cannot be met timeously.  The risk arises when there

is a maturity mismatch between assets and liabilities.  The Group identifies this risk through maturity profiling of assets and liabilities and
assessment of excepted cashflows and the availability of collateral which could be used additional funding if required.

The Group maintains a portfolio of marketable assets that can be easily liquidated in the event of an unforeseen interruption of cash flow.

The Group maintains a statutory deposit with the Central Bank which was accumulated since dollarisation at stipulated rates.  During
2010, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe discontinued the payment of statutory reserves and the amounts accumulated to date had not been

refunded by 31 December 2010.  The daily liquidity position is monitored and regular liquidity stress testing is conducted under a variety
of scenarios covering both normal and more severe market conditions.  All liquidity policies and procedures are subject to review and

approval by ALCO.

The contractual maturities of undiscounted cash flows of financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in note 24.1.

The key measure used by the Group for managing liquidity risk is the ratio of net liquid assets to deposits from customers.  The Group
monitors its liquidity ratio in compliance with Banking Regulations to ensure that it is not less than 20% of the liabilities to the public Liquid

assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, short term bank deposits and liquid investment securities available for immediate sale.

RISK  MANAGEMENT  (Cont’d)

34.5 Operational  risk

This risk is inherent in all business activities and is the potential for loss arising from ineffective internal controls, poor operational procedures

to support these controls, errors and deliberate acts of fraud. The mitigation of the risk and the cost incurred to reduce the risk is critical..  The
bank utilises monthly Key Risk Indicators to monitor operational risk in all units.  Further to this, the bank has an elaborate Incident Reporting

Policy in which all incidents with a material impact on the well being of the bank are reported to Risk Management department.  The Board
has a Risk Committee whose function is to ensure that this risk is minimised. The Risk Committee through the Internal Audit  and Risk

Management functions assesses the adequacy of the internal controls and makes the necessary recommendations to the Board.

34.6 Legal  and  Compliance  risk

Legal risk is risk from uncertainty due to legal actions or uncertainty in the applicability or interpretation of contracts, laws or regulations.
Legal risk may entail such issues as contract formation, capacity and contract frustration.

To manage this risk the Group employs a legal practitioner who is responsible for the drafting, monitoring and executing all contracts.

Permanent relationships are also maintained with firms of legal practitioners and access to legal advice is readily available to all
departments.  The compliance function is also responsible for identifying and monitoring legal risks and ensuring that the Group remains in

compliance with all regulatory requirements.

34.7 Reputational  risk

Reputational risk is the risk of loss of business as a result of negative publicity or negative perceptions by the market with regards to the
way the Group conducts its business.

To manage this risk, the Group strictly monitors customers’ complaints, continuously train staff at all levels, conducts market surveys and

periodic reviews of business practices through its Internal Audit department.

34.8 Strategic  risk

This refers to current and prospective impact on the Group’s earnings and capital arising from adverse business decisions or implementing

strategies that are not consistent with the internal and external environment.  To manage this risk, the Group is guided by a strategic plan
that is set out by the board of directors.  The attainment of strategic objectives by the various departments is monitored periodically at

management level.  There is an ALCO, Finance and Strategy Committee at board level responsible for monitoring overall progress to-
wards attaining strategic objectives for the Group.

The directors are satisfied with the risk management processes in the Group as these have contributed to the minimisation of losses arising

from risky exposures.

34.9 Regulatory  Compliance

The Corrective Order issued on 15 May 2007 was lifted on 8 September 2010.

The Group remains committed to complying with and adhering to all regulatory requirements.

34.10 Capital  Management

34.10.1 Holding Company

The capital allocation to the subsidiary units is in accordance with the regulatory requirements of the business undertaken by the subsidiary.

34.10.2 Banking Subsidiary

The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that the Group complies with the RBZ requirements.  In implementing

the current capital requirements, the RBZ requires the Banking subsidiary to maintain a prescribed ratio of total capital to total risk weighted
assets.

Regulatory capital consists of Tier 1 capital, which comprises share capital, share premium, retained earnings (including current year profit),

statutory reserve and other equity reserves.

The other component of regulatory capital is Tier 2 capital, which includes subordinated term debt, revaluation reserves and portfolio
provisions.

Tier 3 capital relates to an allocation of capital to market and operational risk.

Various limits are applied to elements of the capital base.  The core capital (Tier 1) shall compromise not less than 50% of the capital base

and portfolio provisions are limited to 1.25% of total risk weighted assets.

During the year, the Bank complied in full with the regulatory capital requirements of a minimum capital level of US$12.5 million.

The restatement arose as a result of the treatment of the excess allowance for impairment on loans and advances resulting from the

difference between the IAS 39 and the Regulatory allowance for impairment on loans and advances.  In 2009, these were accounted for
under other comprehensive income and in 2010, these were recognised directly in equity as a transfer from retained earnings to a regulatory

reserve.  The effect of this change on the 2009 results is summarized below  (There is no effect in 2010).

Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income

Increase in other comprehensive income

Decrease in tax credit relating to other comprehensive income

Increase in total comprehensive income for the year

Consolidated Statement Of Financial Position

Decrease in allowance for impairment of loans and advances
Increase in deferred tax liabilities

Increase in total equity
