NMBNMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORTCHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
for year ended 31 December 2020

INTRODUCTION

The 2020 operating environment was largely dogged by the devastating 
effects  arising  out  of  the  outbreak  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic  which 
ravaged global economies.  In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, 
the Government of Zimbabwe like many other Governments imposed 
lockdown measures of varying extents in an effort to curtail the spread 
of the deadly Corona virus.  A number of policy pronouncements were 
made by the Government of Zimbabwe in response to the pandemic 
and these affected the operations of the Group during the period under 
review.    Globally,  the  focus  on  COVID-19  has  shifted  to  vaccination 
with  notable  strides  having  been  made  on  that  front  by  a  number  of 
countries.    We  remain  hopeful  that  the  vaccination  programmes  will 
yield the desired results which should go a long way in alleviating this 
global crisis.

Focusing  on  the  local  economy,  the  first  half  of  the  year  under 
review  was  characterised  by  hyper-inflation  and  incessant  economic 
instability  emanating  from  the  deterioration  of  the  country’s  foreign 
exchange  rate.    However,  the  introduction  of  the  RBZ  administered 
Foreign Exchange Auction System on 23 June 2020 appears to have 
significantly  contained  the  rapid  oscillations  that  were  characterising 
the  country’s  foreign  exchange  rate.    Significant  trades  have  been 
recorded on this platform from its inception and there has been notable 
stability in the foreign exchange regime ever since the auction system 
was introduced.  This culminated in economic stability largely prevailing 
in the second half of the year with the annual inflation rate closing the 
year at 348.6% down from a peak of 837.5% recorded in July 2020.  
Our hopes remain pinned on the sustainability of this stability which will 
certainly foster economic growth into the foreseeable future. 

The Bank’s digital strategy was launched at the most opportune time as 
it has been quite instrumental in driving business within the COVID-19 
induced  circumstances.    The  Bank  has  recorded  significant  growth, 
expansion  and  improvements  on  its  digital  platforms  and  this  has 
resulted in enhanced service delivery.  Furthermore, in response to the 
prevailing hyperinflationary environment, the Group adopted a number 
of value preservation strategies in order to ensure that shareholders’ 
value  is  not  eroded.  These  measures  culminated  in  the  Group’s 
remarkable  financial  performance  in  spite  of  the  difficult  operating 
environment.

The  key  inflation  adjusted  financial  highlights  of  the  Group  as  at  31 
December 2020 are depicted below:

SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING

With  the  prevailing  Covid-19  pandemic,  we  continue  to  build  value 
adding relationships with our staff and all stakeholders as well as in the 
communities which we operate in. The Board upholds high standards of 
management and corporate governance, which we believe are key to 
delivering sustainable shareholder value and contribute to the Group’s 
long term success. It is our responsibility as the Board to ensure that 
management, not only delivers on short term objectives, but promotes 
the long term growth of the Group. We have fostered and are buttressing 
our culture of responsible business practices by paying more attention 
to sustainability issues.

Since our inception in 1993, we have opened up opportunities for our 
customers, communities, and the broader society. We endeavor to build 
a future that prioritises resilience, social mobility and the environment 
as well as economic growth. We have a long standing partnership with 
the community and the Government in general through our involvement 
in  a  diverse  range  of  social  and  economic  activities  that  serve  broad 
community  audiences.  Our  aim  is  to  continuously  strengthen  our 
performance and create our sustainability strategy anchored on financial 
inclusion, education, water, housing, construction, health and climate.

To this end, the Group through its Banking subsidiary remains committed 
to  financing  the  education  sector,  health,  property  &  construction  as 
well as supporting the SMEs, the youths, the disadvantaged, vulnerable 
groups  in  addition  to  supporting  various  environmental  conservation 
initiatives. Through advancing affordable loans, support was extended 
to both educational institutions and students in pursuit of supporting the 
education sector. The Bank also provided support in the construction 
and  maintenance  of  roads,  dams  and  houses  across  the  nation. 
Furthermore,  the  Bank  extended  funding  to  local  authorities  in  a  bid 
to  ensure  the  provision  of  clean  water  and  other  critical  amenities  to 
residents.  In  order  to  assist  in  clearing  the  national  housing  backlog, 
the Bank also continued to advance mortgage facilities for residential 
accommodation. In addition, pursuant to its initiative to support industry 
and commerce, the Bank continues to advance mortgage facilities to its 
Corporate clients and SMEs towards the construction and acquisition of 
commercial properties.

The  Group  complied  with  all  environmental  management  and  other 
related  laws,  regulations  and  best  practices.  Financing  to  both 
corporates and SMEs were done entirely in accordance with the Banking 
subsidiary’s Statement of Commitment to Responsible Financing and 
Exclusion List. 

CORPORATE SOCIAL INVESTMENTS

During  the  period  under  review,  the  Group  channelled  its  Corporate 
Social  Investments  towards  education,  environment  conservation  as 
well as the support of disadvantaged and vulnerable groups. Donations 
towards education were to the Ministry of Education Mashonaland West 
Provincial  Wellness  Launch  and  Matabeleland  North  Athletics  team 
NASH/NAPH  and  the  University  of  Zimbabwe  COVID-19 Awareness 
Campaign.  We  sponsored  the  TM/PnP  Charity  Golf  tournament 
where funds raised were channelled towards the Meikles Foundation, 
which  seeks  to  promote  sustainable  development  through  initiatives 
that  seek  to  protect  wildlife  and  the  environment  as  well  as  achieve 
community  welfare  and  education.  Donations  were  also  made  to 
KidzCan  for  treatment  of  children  living  with  cancer,  commemoration 
of World Hearing Day, commemoration of the World Kidney Day and to 
Chambuta Children’s Home. 

The  Group,  in  conjunction  with  other  banks  also  channelled  its 
Corporate  Social  Investments  towards  the  fight  against  COVID-19 
under the Bankers Association of Zimbabwe.

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

The Bank’s strategy remains firmly focused on the enhancement of its digital offerings to ensure seamless service delivery to the Bank’s existing and 
future clients via its exciting and refreshing digital touch points. This strategy resonates very well with the ‘new normal’, where physical interactions 
have to be kept at a minimum in line with the World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines on fighting the novel COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Bank continues with its financial inclusion drive and has intensified the opening of a number of low cost accounts via our NMBLite product. The 
Bank is also quite excited by its recently launched self-account opening portal which offers an amazing and easy self on-boarding experience to 
the Bank’s future customers. The portal is going through further refinements which will provide even more exciting insights and convenience to the 
Bank’s valued customers. 

During the period under review, we successfully migrated our Head Office to the new home along Borrowdale road offering a refreshing environment 
for our staff and stakeholders. To enhance the customer experience, the Bank’s Excellence branch previously located at the Borrowdale, Sam Levy’s 
Village, was also moved to the new Head Office much to the delight of our valued customers.

OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY

The containment of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be an imperative for a global and local economic rebound in the short to medium term. 
We are confident that the measures adopted by the Government of Zimbabwe and the imminent vaccination of the population with the COVID-19 
vaccine, coupled with the collective efforts of all corporate and citizens will continue to minimise the spread of the virus and its total elimination in 
the foreseeable future. 

We are encouraged by the exchange rate stability which has been prevailing in the second half of the period under review and remain hopeful that 
the stability will continue prevailing in order to create a conducive operating environment for business and the attraction of capital which will go a long 
way in ensuring economic growth and stability in the foreseeable future.

The  Group’s  banking  subsidiary  will  continue  to  enhance  its  digital  offerings  to  continuously  improve  the  customer  experience  which  will  also 
contribute towards the Bank’s desire to broaden its market segments and grow its deposit base. 

In pursuit of the revised capitalisation levels announced by the Central Bank, the Group has been pursuing a number of value-preservation strategies 
to ensure the preservation and growth of the Bank’s regulatory capital. 

GROUP RESULTS

Hyperinflationary reporting

Following the liberalisation of the exchange rate on 22 February 2019, there has been a significant depreciation in the exchange rate of the local 
currency unit which in turn resulted in the economy plunging into hyper-inflation.  In light of this background, the Directors assessed the impact of 
International Accounting Standard (IAS) 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” and noted that the conditions required to apply IAS 
29 had materialized in the Group’s operating environment during the previous reporting period.  Furthermore, the Public Accountants and Auditors 
Board (PAAB) issued a pronouncement on 11 October 2019 indicating that the economy had become hyper-inflationary. The Directors have thus 
prepared the accompanying financial statements using the hyperinflationary accounting basis to achieve fair presentation at the reporting date of 
31 December 2020.  Unless indicated otherwise, the results commentary below will be primarily on the Group’s hyper-inflationary adjusted financial 
statements at the reporting date.

Financial performance

The profit before taxation was ZWL705 414 282 (2019 – ZWL691 317 803) during the period under review and this gave rise to total comprehensive 
income of ZWL1 030 289 817 (2019 – ZWL1 151 854 266) after total other comprehensive income of ZWL181 026 875. The Group achieved a basic 
earnings per share of 210.12 cents (2019 – 96.49 cents).

Operating expenses amounted to ZWL1 274 247 625 and these were up 18% from a prior year amount of ZWL1 079 026 942.  The increase in 
operating expenditure was mainly due to staff rationalisation costs and COVID-19 related expenditure to ensure the safety of the Bank’s customers 
and staff as well as to ensure adherence to the COVID-19 protocol set by the World Health Organisation. 

Impairment losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost amounted to ZWL127 974 740 for the current period from a prior year amount of 
ZWL49 562 276 and the increase was mainly due to the increase in the Banking subsidiary’s assets measured at amortised cost during the period 
under review. The bank has continued with its drive to reduce non-performing loans (NPLs) and the ratio stood at 0.44% as at 31 December 2020.  
This was lower than the 31 December 2019 ratio of 1.37% and below the Bank’s and regulatory target of 5% as at 31 December 2020.  The decrease 
in the NPL ratio was largely due to aggressive collections and stricter credit underwriting standards.

GROUP RESULTS (continued)

Financial position

The Group’s total assets increased by 17% from ZWL9 372 348 955 as at 31 December 2019 to ZWL10 957 161 610 as at 31 December 2020 
mainly due to a 125% increase in investment securities, a 60% increase in investment properties and an increase of 25% in property and equipment. 
These increases were partly offset by a 32% decrease in intangible assets and an 11% decrease in cash and cash equivalents.  

Investment properties increased from ZWL1 031 154 579 as at 31 December 2019 to ZWL1 653 496 476 as at 31 December 2020 due to additions 
and improvements made on the Bank’s property portfolio in line with the value preservation strategies adopted by the Group to curtail the devastating 
effects of the prevailing hyperinflationary environment.  

Investment  securities  (Treasury  Bills  and  Bonds)  increased  from  ZWL480  731  899  as  at  31  December  2019  to  ZWL1  081  820  457  as  at  31 
December 2020 mainly due to the acquisition of Treasury bills and Bonds. Nevertheless, the bank has set maximum limits for investment securities 
in order to ensure that most of the funds are channeled towards the productive sectors of the economy.

Total deposits increased by 17% from ZWL5 343 012 221 restated as at 31 December 2019 to ZWL6 262 750 864 as at 31 December 2020 as a 
result of the Bank’s aggressive deposit mobilization efforts in pursuit of the broadening of the Bank’s target market segments.  
The Bank’s liquidity ratio closed the period at 67.68% (2019 – 60.72%) and this was above the statutory requirement of a minimum of 30%.

Capital 

The banking subsidiary’s capital adequacy ratio stood at 52.56% (Historical – 43.78%) as at 31 December 2020 (31 December 2019 – 48.46%; 
Historical - 39.49%). The ratio was above the statutory minimum of 12%. Our capitalisation level is adequate to cover all risks and supports the 
underwriting of new business.

The Group’s shareholders’ funds and shareholders’ liabilities have increased by 31% from ZWL3 211 913 897 restated as at 31 December 2019 to 
ZWL4 194 973 015 as at 31 December 2020 largely as a result of the current year’s total comprehensive income.

The Bank’s regulatory capital as at 31 December 2020 was ZWL2 186 036 634 and is above the minimum required regulatory capital of ZWL25 
million.  The bank remains confident that its plan to meet the revised minimum capital of the ZWL equivalent of USD30 million for a Tier 1 bank by 
31 December 2021 is achievable.

FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY 

As announced in the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, we continue to closely monitor the developments in the 
economic and monetary landscape.  On 22 February 2019, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) issued an Exchange Control Directive, RU 28 of 
2019 which established an Interbank foreign exchange market to formalize the buying and selling of foreign currency through the Banks and Bureaux 
de change.  To operationalize this, the RBZ denominated the existing RTGS balances as RTGS dollars and initial trades between the RTGS dollar 
and the US$ were pegged at USD/RTGS$1:2.5.  On the same date, Statutory Instrument 33 (SI 33) of 2019 was also issued and it specified that 
all assets and liabilities that were in USD immediately before 22 February 2019 were deemed to have been valued in RTGS$ at a rate of USD/
RTGS$1:1.

On 24 June 2019, through Statutory Instrument 142 (SI 142) of 2019, the Government of Zimbabwe discontinued the multicurrency regime which 
had been in place since February 2009 and also introduced the Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWL), which was designated as the country’s sole legal tender to 
be used for all local transactions and other purposes.

On 26 March 2020, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe in a press statement announced various interventions in response to the financial vulnerabilities 
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.  One of the measures announced therein was the authorization of the use of free-funds in paying for goods 
and services, in terms of Statutory Instrument (SI) 85 of 2020.  On 24 July 2020, the Government of Zimbabwe issued Statutory Instrument (SI) 185 
of 2020, which granted permission to display, quote or offer prices for all goods and services in both Zimbabwe dollars and foreign currency at the 
interbank exchange rate.

On  23  June  2020,  the  Reserve  Bank  of  Zimbabwe  introduced  the  Foreign  Exchange Auction  System,  effectively  abandoning  the  fixed  foreign 
currency exchange rate regime which had been prevailing for the greater part of 2020.  Significant trades have been recorded on the platform and 
significant movements in the exchange rate have been resultantly recorded.

The  Directors,  having  assessed  all  these  developments,  concluded  that  the  Group’s  functional  currency  remains  the  Zimbabwe  dollar  having 
changed from USD to RTGS dollars on 22 February 2019, which subsequently changed to Zimbabwe Dollars (ZWL) following the issuance of SI 
142 of 2019 on 24 June 2019.

for year ended 31 December 2020

LEGACY DEBTS

The banking subsidiary owed USD13 840 412 to various lines of credit providers as at 31 December 2020.  The Bank registered these foreign debts 
with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) as required by the regulatory directives.  During the previous financial period, the Bank transferred to 
the RBZ the ZWL equivalent of the foreign debts at a rate of USD/ZWL1:1.  The RBZ has indicated that they will be issuing a USD denominated 
instrument for these debts and consequently these debts and the RBZ deposits have been accounted for at the closing exchange rate of USD/ZWL 
1:81.3486 at 31 December 2020. This effectively values the original credit lines at a rate of 1:1 on a netted off basis. The RBZ approved the line of 
credit balances amounting to USD13 840 412.

DIVIDEND

The Board has resolved not to declare a dividend as the Group is focusing on achieving the minimum regulatory capital requirement of the ZWL 
equivalent of USD30 million for a Tier 1 bank by 31 December 2021 for its banking subsidiary.

DIRECTORATE

Mr Givemore Taputaira was appointed to the Board of NMBZ Holdings Limited and NMB Bank Limited on 2 January 2020.  The directors of both

APPRECIATION

I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to all our clients, shareholders, regulatory authorities and all other valued stakeholders for their continued 
support  during  these  unprecedented  times  of  the  global  health  pandemic.  To  my  fellow  Board  members,  management  and  staff,  I  extend  my

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY
for year ended 31 December 2020

1. 

RESPONSIBILITY 

The Directors of the Group are mandated by the Companies and Other Business Entities Act (Chapter 24:31) of Zimbabwe 
to maintain adequate accounting records and to prepare consolidated and separate financial statements that present a true 
and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and Company at the end of each financial year. The information contained in 
these consolidated and separate financial statements has been prepared on a going concern basis and is in accordance with 
the provisions of the Companies and Other Business Entities Act (Chapter 24:31) of Zimbabwe, the Banking Act (Chapter 
24:20) of Zimbabwe 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 of South Africa, 
the National Code on Corporate Governance, the United Kingdom Combined Code and the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe 
Corporate  Governance  Guideline  No.  01-2004/BSD.  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 and internal auditors of the Group reviews and assesses the internal control systems of the Group in key 
risk areas. 

5.              STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The  financial  statements  are  prepared  with  the  aim  of  complying  fully  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards 
(IFRSs) and have been prepared in the manner required by the Companies and Other Business Entities Act (Chapter 24:31) 
of Zimbabwe and the Banking Act (Chapter 24:20) of Zimbabwe.

The Directors have been able to achieve full compliance with IFRSs in previous reporting periods up to 31 December 2017.  
However, the 31 December 2020 and the comparative period as well as the 31 December 2018  financial reporting period 
could only achieve partial compliance to the IFRS reporting framework due to developments detailed below.

The  IFRS  Conceptual  Framework  states  that  to  achieve  fair  presentation  to  the  financial  statements,  companies  should 
consider  the underlying  economic  substance  of the transaction  over and above  the legal  form.  International Accounting 
Standard (IAS 21) “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” requires the Directors to determine the functional 
currency  of  the  reporting  entity  in  preparing  the  entity’s  financial  statements.    In  arriving  at  this  conclusion,  the  entity 
is  required  to  apply  certain  parameters  which  the  Directors  duly  applied  in  their  judgement.    Furthermore,  IAS  21  also 
requires the reporting entity to make certain judgements in determining the appropriate exchange rates to apply for certain 
transactions conducted in currencies other than the functional currency of the reporting entity.

As explained in Note 2.4.7, “Determination of the functional currency”, it is our opinion that following the Monetary Policy 
pronouncements of 1 October 2018 and 20 February 2019, as well as the issuance of Exchange Control Directive RU 28 
of 2019 on 22 February 2019, the country’s functional currency appeared to have changed from the United States Dollar in 
terms of the IAS 21 considerations.  However, the Government of Zimbabwe issued Statutory Instrument (SI 33) of 2019 
on 22 February 2019, which prescribes the rate of USD1:RTGS$1 in accounting for all transactions and events before the 
effective date of the statutory instrument.

Furthermore, it is our interpretation that the SI 33 of 2019 issued in terms of the Presidential Powers Temporary Measures 
Act [Chapter 10:20],  ranks supreme to any contrary legislation including quasi-legislations, which therefore implies that in 
preparing the financial statements, we sought to comply with the provisions of SI 33 of 2019 ahead of the IAS 21 requirements.

for year ended 31 December 2020

5.              STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE (Cont’d)

This, in our opinion resulted in non-compliance with IAS 21 and that non-compliance had a significant impact on the true and 
fair presentation of the Group’s financial position and would therefore urge users of the financial statements to exercise due 
caution.  

The consolidated and separate financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 10 March 2021.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared with the aim of complying fully with  International Financial Reporting 
Standards  (IFRSs)  and  have  been  prepared  in  the  manner  required  by  the  Companies  and  Other  Business  Entities Act 
(Chapter 24:31) of Zimbabwe and the Banking Act (Chapter 24:20) of Zimbabwe.

5. 

GOING CONCERN

The Directors have assessed the ability of the Group and its subsidiary to continue operating as a going concern and believe 
that the preparation of these financial statements on a going concern is still appropriate.

6. 

INTERNAL AUDIT 

The  internal  audit  function  has  formally  defined  objectives,  authority,  and  responsibilities  enshrined  in  the  Internal Audit 
Charter, which principles are consistent with those of the Institute of Internal Auditors. The function is guided by the Internal 
Audit Manual and the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s Guideline on Minimum Internal Audit Standards in Banking Institutions, 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 control including internal financial controls and the conduct of the Group’s operations.

7. 

REMUNERATION 

The Human Resources, Remuneration and Nominations Committee determines the remuneration policy for the Group. The 
remuneration  policy  is  designed  to  reward  performance  and  retain  highly  skilled  individuals. Accordingly,  a  discretionary 
performance related bonus is offered in addition to a basic salary package.  

8. 

EMPLOYEE PARTICIPATION AND DEVELOPMENT 

The  Group  encourages  active  participation  by  its  employees  in  its  ownership.  In  line  with  this  commitment,  managerial 
employees have in the past participated in the Group’s share option scheme. The Group is working on operationalising a 
new share option scheme for staff members approved in the 2012 Annual General Meeting. The Group is also committed to 
enhancing the skills of staff and sponsors attendance of courses at reputable local and international institutions.   

9. 

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 

The  Group  recognises  its  responsibility  in  the  society  within  which  it  operates.  The  Group’s  social  investments  were 
channelled  into  the  country’s  educational  system,  the  disadvantaged,  vulnerable  groups,  protection  of  the  environment, 
wildlife  conservation,  the  arts  and  various  sporting  disciplines.    In  light  of  the  priority  being  given  to  the  Group’s  social 
responsibility and sustainability issues, the Group has enhanced its disclosures to include a report on sustainability in line 
with best practices.

10. 

REGULATION 

The  banking  subsidiary  of  the  Group  is  subject  to  regulation  and  supervision  by  the  Reserve  Bank  of  Zimbabwe,  which 
conducts  the  functions  of  the  Registrar  of  Banking  Institutions  and  is  also  the  supervisor  of  banking  institutions.  Where 
appropriate, the Group participates in industry-consultative meetings and discussion groups aimed at enhancing the business 
environment. 

11. 

ETHICS 

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

Independent Auditor’s Report  

To the Shareholders of NMBZ Holdings Limited  

Report on the Audit of the consolidated and separate inflation adjusted financial statements  

Adverse Opinion  

We have audited the consolidated and separate inflation adjusted financial  statements of NMBZ  Holdings 
Limited and its subsidiaries (the Group), as set out on pages 27 to 148, which comprise the  consolidated 
and  separate  inflation  adjusted  consolidated  and  separate  statement  of  financial  position as at 31 
December  2020,  and  the  related  inflation  adjusted  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income, the inflation adjusted consolidated statement of changes in equity and the inflation 
adjusted statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the inflation adjusted consolidated 
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.  

23 to 105

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matters discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion section 
of our report, the accompanying inflation adjusted financial statements do not present fairly the financial 
positions of the Group as at 31 December 2020, and their financial performance and their cash flows for 
the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and Companies 
and Other Business Entities Act (Chapter 24:31) and the Banking Act (Chapter 24:20). 

Basis for Adverse Opinion  

Non-compliance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  IAS  21-  The  Effects  of  Changes  in 
Foreign  Exchange  Rates  in  Prior  Period  and  Inappropriate  Application  of  IAS  8-  Accounting Policies, 
Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors  

Non-compliance with IAS 8  

As explained in note 2.4.7 to the inflation adjusted consolidated financial statements, the Group changed 
its functional and reporting currency from United States Dollar (US$) to Zimbabwe Dollars (ZWL) on 22 
February 2019 in compliance with Statutory Instrument 33 of 2019.  

We however believe that the change occurred on 1 October 2018 in terms of IAS21 given the significant 
monetary and exchange control policy changes witnessed in Zimbabwe from 2016 through to 2019.  

Our  audit  report  for  the  year  ended  31  December  2019  was  therefore  modified  as  management 
prospectively applied the change in functional currency from USD to ZWL from 23 February 2019, which 
we disagreed with. The correct approach would have been a retrospective restatement as a prior period 
error  in  terms  of  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  –  IAS  8  –  Accounting  Polices,  Changes  in 
Accounting Estimates and Errors.

We have concerns over the appropriateness of using a foreign currency for the valuation and then applying 
a  conversion  rate  to  a  USD  valuation  to  calculate  ZWL  property  values  as  this  may  not  be  an  accurate 
reflection of the current market dynamics where there is a disparity between exchange rates. With respect 
to the implicit investment approach, the USD estimated rentals may not be an appropriate proxy for the 
ZWL amounts in which rentals are settled.

While  historical  USD  amounts  based  on  similar  transactions  have  been  used  as  a  starting  point  in 
determining comparable values on the market comparable approach, it is noted that market participants 
take into account different risk factors in determining an appropriate value in ZWL terms which are not 
necessarily limited to the exchange rate.

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and 
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If 
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 
report to the related disclosures in the inflation adjusted consolidated financial statements or, if 
such  disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify our  opinion.  Our  conclusions are based on  the audit 
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may 
cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matters discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion section

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date – i.e. when control is 
transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the 
identifiable net assets acquired.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are those investees controlled by the Group.  The Group controls an investee if it is exposed to, or has rights 
to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over 
the subsidiary.  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.

In the holding company’s separate financial statements, investment in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost.

Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment.  Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss 
immediately.  Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if they are related to the issue of debt or equity securities.

Any  contingent  consideration  payable  is  measured  at  fair  value  at  the  acquisition  date.  If  the  contingent  consideration 
is  classified  as  equity,  then  it  is  not  re-measured  and  settlement  is  accounted  for  within  equity.  Otherwise  subsequent 
changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.

Loss of control

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related 
non-controlling interests (NCI) and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any 
interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost. 

Transactions eliminated on consolidation 

Intra-group  balances  and  transactions,  and  any  unrealised  income  and  expenses  arising  from  intra-group  transactions, 
are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as 
unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Zimbabwe Dollars (ZWL), which is the respective functional currency 
of Group entities at the spot exchange rates at the date of the transactions. 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional 
currency  at  the  spot  exchange  rate  at  that  date. The  foreign  currency  gain  or  loss  on  monetary  items  is  the  difference 
between  the  amortised  cost  in  the  functional  currency  at  the  beginning  of  the  year,  adjusted  for  effective  interest  and 
payments during the year, and the amortised cost in the foreign currency translated at the spot exchange rate at the end 
of the year. 

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional 
currency at the spot exchange rate at the date on which the fair value is determined. Non-monetary items that are measured 
based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the spot exchange rate at the date of the transaction. 
Foreign currency differences arising on translation are generally recognised in profit or loss.

TAXATION

Income tax

Income tax expenses comprise current, capital gains and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to 
the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax

Current tax comprises expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment 
to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years.  It is measured using rates enacted or substantively enacted 
at the reporting date in the country where the Group operates and generates taxable income and any adjustment to tax 
payable in respect of previous years.
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from 
or paid to the taxation authorities.

TAXATION (cont’d)

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised 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 is not recognised for: 

• 

• 

• 

temporary  differences  on  the  initial  recognition  of  assets  or  liabilities  in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a  business 
combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; 
temporary  differences  related  to  investments  in  subsidiaries  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  they  will  not 
reverse in the foreseeable future; and 
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the 
extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. 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.  Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they 
reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. 
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, 
at the reporting  date, to recover or settle the carrying  amount of its assets and liabilities.  For this purpose,  the carrying 
amount of investment property measured at fair value is presumed to be recovered through sale, and the Group has not 
rebutted this presumption. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, 
and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they 
intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. 

Additional taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends by the Bank are recognised at the same time as the liability to 
pay the related dividend is recognised. These amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss because they generally 
relate to income arising from transactions that were originally recognised in profit or loss. 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Measurement Methods

Amortised cost and effective interest rates

The amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus 
the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference 
between that initial amount and the maturity amount and, for financial assets, an adjustment for any loss allowance.

The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected 
life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset (i.e. its amortised cost before 
any impairment allowance) or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. The calculation does not consider expected credit 
losses and includes transaction costs, premiums or discounts and fees and points paid or received that are integral to the 
effective  interest  rate,  such  as  origination  fees.  For  purchased  or  originated  credit-impaired  (‘POCI’)  financial  assets  – 
assets that are credit-impaired at initial recognition - the Bank calculates the credit-adjusted effective interest rate, which 
is calculated based on the amortised cost of the financial asset instead of its gross carrying amount and incorporates the 
impact of expected credit losses in estimated future cash flows.

When  the  Bank  revises  the  estimates  of  future  cash  flows,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  respective  financial  assets  or 
financial liability is adjusted to reflect the new estimate discounted using the original effective interest rate. Any changes are 
recognised in profit or loss.

Interest Income

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of financial assets, except 
for:

a) 

b) 

Purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) financial assets, for which the original credit-adjusted   
effective interest rate is applied to the amortised cost of the financial asset.

Financial assets that are not ‘POCI’ but have subsequently become credit-impaired (or ‘stage 3’), for    
which interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to their amortised cost (i.e net 
of the expected credit loss provision)

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the 
instrument. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Bank 
commits to purchase or sell the asset.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) 

Initial recognition and measurement

At  initial  recognition,  the  Bank  measures  a  financial  asset  or  financial  liability  at  its  fair  value  plus  or  minus,  in  the  case 
of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss; transaction costs that are incremental and 
directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset or financial liability respectively, such as fees and 
commissions. Transaction  costs  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  carried  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  are 
expensed in profit or loss. Immediately after initial recognition, an expected credit loss allowance (ECL) is recognised for 
financial assets measured at amortised cost and investments in debt instruments measured at FVOCI, which results in an 
accounting loss being recognised in profit or loss when an asset is newly originated.

When  the  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  liabilities  differs  from  the  transaction  price  on  initial  recognition,  the  entity 
recognises the difference as follows:

a).  When the fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability (i.e. a 
Level 1 input) or based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets, the difference is 
recognised as a gain or loss.

b). 

In all other cases, the difference is deferred and the timing of recognition of deferred day one profit or loss is 
determined individually. It is either amortised over the life of the instrument, deferred until the instrument’s fair 
value can be determined using market observable inputs, or realised through settlement.

          Financial Assets

(i)  

Classification and subsequent measurement

From 1 January 2018, the Group has applied IFRS 9 and classifies its financial assets in the following measurement 
categories:
• 
• 
• 

Fair value through profit or loss (FVPL);
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); or
Amortised cost.

The classification requirements for debt and equity instruments are described below:

Debt instruments

Debt instruments are those instruments that meet the definition of a financial liability from the issuer’s    perspective, such 
as loans, government and corporate bonds and trade receivables purchased from clients in factoring arrangements without 
recourse.

Classification and subsequent measurement of debt instruments depend on:

• 
• 

the Bank’s business model for managing the asset; and
the cash flow characteristics of the asset.

Based on these factors, the Bank classifies its debt instruments into one of the following three measurement categories:

• 

• 

• 

Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent 
solely  payments  of  principal  and  interest  (‘SPPI’),  and  that  are  not  designated  at  FVPL,  are  measured  at 
amortised  cost.  The  carrying  amount  of  these  assets  is  adjusted  by  any  expected  credit  loss  allowance. 
Interest  income  from  these  financial  assets  is  included  in  interest  and  similar  income  using  the  effective 
interest rate method.
Fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income  (FVOCI):  Financial  assets  that  are  held  for  collection  of 
contractual cash flows and for selling the assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments 
of  principle  and  interest  and  that  are  not  designated  at  FVPL,  are  measured  at  fair  value  through  other 
comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the 
recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses on the 
instrument’s amortised cost which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, 
the  cumulative  gain  or  loss  previously  recognised  in  OCI  is  reclassified  from  equity  to  profit  or  loss  and 
recognised in “Net Investment Income’. Interest income from these financial assets is included in ‘Interest 
Income’ using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured 
at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss. A  gain  or  loss  on  a  debt  investment  that  is  subsequently  measured  at 
fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss and 
presented in the profit or loss statement within ‘Net Trading Income” in the period in which it arises, unless 
it arises from debt instruments that were designated at fair value or which are not held for trading, in which 
case they are presented separately in ‘Net Investment Income’. Interest income from these financial assets is 
included in “Interest income” using the effective interest rate method.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Debt instruments  (continued)

Business model: the business model reflects how the Bank manages the assets in order to generate cash flows. That is, 
whether the Bank’s objective is solely to collect the contractual cash flows from the assets or is to collect both the contractual 
cash flows and cash flows arising from the sale of assets. If neither of these is applicable (e.g. financial assets are held for 
trading purposes), then the financial assets are classified as part of ‘other’ business model and measured at FVPL. Factors 
considered by the Bank in determining the business model for a group of assets include past experience on how the cash 
flows for these assets were collected, how the asset’s performance is evaluated and reported to key management personnel, 
how risks are assessed and managed and how managers are compensated. Securities held for trading are held principally 
for the purpose of selling in the near term or are part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are managed together and 
for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. These securities are classified in the ‘other’ 
business model and measured at FVPL. 

Where the business model is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows or to collect contractual cash flows and sell, 
the Bank assesses whether financial instruments’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (the “SPPI” 
test). In making this assessment, the Bank considers whether the contractual cash flows are consistent with a basic lending 
arrangement i.e. interest includes only consideration for the time value of money, credit risk, other basic lending risks and a 
profit margin that is consistent with a basic lending arrangement. Where the contractual terms introduce exposure to risk or 
volatility that are inconsistent with a basic lending arrangement, the related financial asset is classified and measured at fair 
value through profit or loss.

The Bank reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. The 
reclassification takes place from the start of the first reporting period following the change. Such changes are expected to be 
very infrequent and none occurred during the period.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments are instruments that meet the definition of equity from the issuer’s perspective; that is, instruments that 
do not contain a contractual obligation to pay and that evidence a residual interest in the issuer’s net assets. Examples of 
equity instruments include basic ordinary shares.

The  Bank  subsequently  measures  all  equity  investments  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss,  except  where  the  Bank’s 
management  has  elected,  at  initial  recognition,  to  irrevocably  designate  an  equity  investment  at  fair  value  through  other 
comprehensive income. The Bank policy is to designate equity investments as FVOCI when those investments are held for 
purposes other than to generate investment returns. When this election is used, fair value gains and losses are recognised 
in  OCI  and  are  not  subsequently  reclassified  to  profit  or  loss,  including  on  disposal.  Impairment  losses  (and  reversal  of 
impairment losses) are not reported separately from other changes in fair value. Dividends, when representing a return on 
such investments, continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Bank’s right to receive payments is 
established.

Gains and losses on equity investments at FVPL are included in the ‘Other Income’ line in the statement of profit or loss.

(ii) 

Impairment

The Bank recognises loss allowances for Expected Credit Losses (ECLs) on the following financial instruments that are not 
measured at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL):

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

 loans and advances to banks;
 loans and advances to customers;
 debt investment securities;
 lease receivables;
 loan commitments issued; and
 financial guarantee contracts issued.

No impairment loss is recognised on equity investments.
With the exception of POCI financial assets (which are considered separately below), ECLs are measured through a loss 
allowance at an amount equal to:

• 

• 

12-month  ECL,  i.e.  lifetime  ECL  that  result  from  those  default  events  on  the  financial  instrument    that  are 
possible within 12 months after the reporting date, (referred to as Stage 1); or
Full  lifetime  ECL,  i.e.  lifetime  ECL  that  result  from  all  possible  default  events  over  the  life  of  the  financial 
instrument, (referred to as Stage 2 and Stage 3).

A loss allowance for full lifetime ECL is required for a financial instrument if the credit risk on that financial instrument has 
increased significantly since initial recognition. For all other financial instruments, ECLs are measured at an amount equal 
to the 12-month ECL. 

34

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
for year ended 31 December 2020

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Expected Credit Losses 

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of the present value of credit losses. These are measured as the present value of 
the difference between the cash flows due to the Bank under the contract and the cash flows that the Bank expects to receive 
arising from the weighting of multiple future economic scenarios, discounted at the asset’s EIR. 

For undrawn loan commitments, the ECL is the difference between the present value of the difference between the contractual 
cash flows that are due to the Bank if the holder of the commitment draws down the loan and the cash flows that the Bank 
expects to receive if the loan is drawn down; and

For financial guarantee contracts, the ECL is the difference between the expected payments to reimburse the holder of the 
guaranteed debt instrument less any amounts that the Bank expects to receive from the holder, the debtor or any other party.

The Bank measures ECL on an individual basis, or on a collective basis for portfolios of loans that share similar economic 
risk characteristics. The measurement of the loss allowance is based on the present value of the asset’s expected cash flows 
using the asset’s original EIR, regardless of whether it is measured on an individual basis or a collective basis. 

Credit-impaired financial assets  

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash 
flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired include observable data about 
the following events:
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
a). 
b).  a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
c). 

the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, 
having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;
the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or
the purchase or origination of a financial asset at a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses.

d). 
e). 
f). 

It may not be possible to identify a single discrete event—instead, the combined effect of several events may have caused 
financial assets to become credit-impaired.

Purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) financial assets 

For POCI the Bank only recognises the cumulative changes in lifetime expected credit losses since initial recognition. At 
each reporting date, the Bank recognises in profit or loss the amount of the change in lifetime expected credit losses as 
an impairment gain or loss. The Bank recognises favourable changes in lifetime expected credit losses as an impairment 
gain, even if the lifetime expected credit losses are less than the amount of expected credit losses that were included in the 
estimated cash flows on initial recognition.

The Bank assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses (‘ECL’) associated with its debt instrument assets 
carried at amortised cost and FVOCI and with the exposure arising from loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. 
The Bank recognises a loss allowance for such losses at each reporting date. The measurement of ECL reflects:

• 
• 
• 

An unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of     possible outcomes;
The time value of money; and
Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about 
past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

For  loan  commitments  and  financial  guarantee  contracts,  the  loss  allowance  is  recognised  in  other  liabilities.  The  Bank 
keeps  track  of  the  changes  in  the  loss  allowance  for  financial  assets  separately  from  those  for  loan  commitments  and 
financial guarantee contracts. However, if a financial instrument includes both a loan (i.e. financial asset) and an undrawn 
commitment  (i.e.  loan  commitment)  component  and  the  Bank  does  not  separately  identify  the  expected  credit  losses  on 
the  loan  commitment  component  from  those  on  the  financial  asset  component,  the  expected  credit  losses  on  the  loan 
commitment is recognised together with the loss allowance for the financial asset. To the extent that the combined expected 
credit  losses  exceed  the  gross  carrying  amount  of  the  financial  asset,  the  expected  credit  losses  is  recognised  in  other 
liabilities.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Definition of default

Critical to the determination of ECL is the definition of default. The definition of default is used in measuring the amount of 
ECL and in the determination of whether the loss allowance is based on 12-month or lifetime ECL, as default is a component 
of the probability of default (PD) which affects both the measurement of ECLs and the identification of a significant increase 
in credit risk.

The Bank considers the following as constituting an event of default:

• 
• 

The borrower is past due more than 90 days on any material credit obligation to the Bank or;
The borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Bank in full.

The definition of default is appropriately tailored to reflect different characteristics of different types of assets. Overdrafts are 
considered as being past due once the customer has breached an advised limit or has been advised of a limit smaller than 
the current amount outstanding.

When  assessing  if  the  borrower  is  unlikely  to  pay  its  credit  obligation,  the  Bank  takes  into  account  both  qualitative  and 
quantitative  indicators.  The  information  assessed  depends  on  the  type  of  the  asset,  for  example  in  corporate  lending  a 
qualitative indicator used is the breach of covenants, which is not relevant for retail lending. Quantitative indicators, such as 
overdue status and non-payment on another obligation of the same counterparty are key inputs in this analysis. The Bank 
uses a variety of sources of information to assess default which are either developed internally or obtained from external 
sources.

Significant increase in credit risk

The Bank monitors all financial assets, undrawn loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts that are subject to the 
impairment requirements to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If 
there has been a significant increase in credit risk the Bank will measure the loss allowance based on lifetime rather than 
12-month ECL. The Bank’s accounting policy is not to use the practical expedient that financial assets with ‘low’ credit risk at 
the reporting date are deemed not to have had a significant increase in credit risk. As a result the Bank monitors all financial 
assets, undrawn loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts that are subject to impairment for significant increase 
in credit risk.

In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Bank 
compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the reporting date based on the remaining maturity of 
the instrument with the risk of a default occurring that was anticipated for the remaining maturity at the current reporting date 
when the financial instrument was first recognised. In making this assessment, the Bank considers both quantitative and 
qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information 
that  is  available  without  undue  cost  or  effort,  based  on  the  Bank’s  historical  experience  and  expert  credit  assessment 
including forward-looking information. 

Multiple economic scenarios form the basis of determining the probability of default at initial recognition and at subsequent 
reporting dates. Different economic scenarios will lead to a different probability of default. It is the weighting of these different 
scenarios that forms the basis of a weighted average probability of default that is used to determine whether credit risk has 
significantly increased.

For corporate lending, forward-looking information includes the future prospects of the industries in which the Bank’s lenders 
operate, obtained from economic expert reports, financial analysts, governmental bodies and other similar organisations, 
as  well  as  consideration  of  various  internal  and  external  sources  of  actual  and  forecast  economic  information.  For  the 
retail portfolio, forward looking information includes the same economic forecasts as the corporate portfolio with additional 
forecasts of local economic indicators, particularly for regions with a concentration to certain industries, as well as internally 
generated information of customer payment behaviour. The Bank allocates its counterparties to a relevant internal credit risk 
grade depending on their credit quality. The quantitative information is a primary indicator of significant increase in credit risk 
and is based on the change in lifetime PD by comparing:

• 
• 

the remaining lifetime PD at the reporting date; with
the remaining lifetime PD for this point in time that was estimated based on facts and circumstances at the time   
of initial recognition of the exposure.

The PDs used are forward looking and the Bank uses the same methodologies and data used to measure the loss allowance 
for ECL.

The qualitative factors that indicate significant increase in credit risk are reflected in PD models on a timely basis. However, 
the  Bank  still  considers  separately  additional  qualitative  factors  to  assess  if  credit  risk  has  increased  significantly.  For 
corporate lending there is particular focus on assets that are included on the Bank’s ‘watch list’ and for the retail portfolio the 
Bank considers the expectation of forbearance and payment holidays, credit scores and any other changes in the borrower’s 
circumstances which are likely to adversely affect one’s ability to meet contractual obligations.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Significant increase in credit risk (continued)

Given that a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition is a relative measure, a given change, in absolute 
terms, in the PD will be more significant for a financial instrument with a lower initial PD than compared to a financial 
instrument with a higher PD.

The Bank assumes that when an asset becomes 30 days past due, the Bank considers that a significant increase in 
credit risk has occurred and the asset is in stage 2 of the impairment model, i.e. the loss allowance is measured as the 
lifetime ECL.

(iii) 

Modification of loans

The Bank sometimes renegotiates or otherwise modifies the contractual cash flows of loans to customers. When this 
happens, the Bank assesses whether or not the new terms are substantially different to the original terms. The Bank does 
this by considering, among others, the following factors:

• 

If the borrower is in financial difficulty, whether the modification merely reduces the   contractual cash flows 
to amounts the borrower is expected to be able to pay.

•  Whether  any  substantial  new  terms  are  introduced,  such  as  a  profit  share/equity-based  return  that 

• 

• 
• 

substantially affects the risk profile of the loan.
Significant extension of the loan term when the borrower is not in financial difficulty. Significant change in 
the interest rate.
Change in the currency the loan is denominated in.
Insertion of collateral, other security or credit enhancements that significantly affect the credit risk associated 
with the loan.

If the terms are substantially different, the Bank derecognises the original financial asset and recognises a ‘new’ asset 
at  fair  value  and  recalculates  the  new  effective  interest  rate  for  the  asset.  The  date  of  renegotiation  is  consequently 
considered  to  be  the  date  of  initial  recognition  for  impairment  calculation  purposes,  including  for  the  purpose  of 
determining whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred. However, the Bank also assesses whether the new 
financial asset recognised is deemed to be credit-impaired at initial recognition, especially in circumstances where the 
renegotiation was driven by the debtor being unable to make the originally agreed payments. Differences in the carrying 
amount are also recognised in profit or loss as a gain or loss on derecognition.

If  the  terms  are  not  substantially  different,  the  renegotiation  or  modification  does  not  result  in  derecognition,  and  the 
Bank recalculates the gross carrying amount based on the revised cash flows of the financial asset and recognises a 
modification gain or loss in profit or loss. The new gross carrying amount is recalculated by discounting the modified cash 
flows at the original effective interest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit-
impaired financial assets). 

 (iv) 

Derecognition other than on a modification

Financial assets, or a portion thereof, are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the 
assets have expired, or when they have been transferred and either

• 
• 

the Bank transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, or
the Bank neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and the Bank has 
not retained control.

The  Bank  enters  into  transactions  where  it  retains  the  contractual  rights  to  receive  cash  flows  to  other  entities  and 
transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards. These transactions are accounted for as ‘pass through’ transfers that 
result in derecognition if the Bank:

(i) 
(ii) 
(iii) 

Has no obligation to make payments unless it collects equivalent amounts from the assets;
Is prohibited from selling or pledging the assets; and
Has an obligation to remit any cash it collects from the assets without material delay.

Collateral (shares and bonds) furnished by the Bank under standard repurchase agreements and securities lending and 
borrowing  transactions  are  not  derecognised  because  the  Bank  retains  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  on  the 
basis of the predetermined repurchase price, and the criteria for derecognition are therefore not met. This also applies to 
certain securitisation transactions in which the Bank retains a subordinated residual interest.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Financial Liabilities

Classification and subsequent measurement

In both the current and prior period, financial liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for:

 Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: this classification is applied to financial liabilities held for trading (e.g. 
short positions in the trading booking) and other financial liabilities designated as such at initial recognition. Gains or losses 
on financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss are presented partially in other comprehensive income 
(the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability, 
which is determined as the amount that is not attributable to changes in market conditions that give rise to market risk) and 
partially profit or loss (the remaining amount of change in the fair value of the liability). This is unless such a presentation 
would create, or enlarge, an accounting mismatch, in which case the gains and losses attributable to changes in the credit 
risk of the liability are also presented in profit or loss;

Financial liabilities arising from the transfer of financial assets which did not qualify for derecognition, whereby a financial 
liability is recognised for the consideration received for the transfer. In subsequent periods, the Bank recognises any expense 
incurred on the financial liability.

Derecognition

Financial  liabilities  are  derecognised  when  they  are  extinguished  (i.e.  when  the  obligation  specified  in  the  contract  is 
discharged, cancelled or expires).

The exchange between the Bank and its original lenders of debt instruments with substantially different terms, as well as 
substantial modifications of the terms of existing financial liabilities, are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original 
financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The terms are substantially different if the discounted present 
value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the 
original effective interest rate, is at least 10% different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the 
original financial liability. In addition, other qualitative factors, such as the currency that the instrument is denominated in, 
changes in the type of interest rate, new conversion features attached to the instrument and change in covenants are also 
taken into consideration. If an exchange of debt instruments or modification of terms is accounted for as an extinguishment, 
any costs or fees incurred are recognised as part of the gain or loss on the extinguishment. If the exchange or modification 
is  not  accounted  for  as  an  extinguishment,  any  costs  or  fees  incurred  adjust  the  carrying  amount  of  the  liability  and  are 
amortised over the remaining term of the modified liability.

Financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments

Financial  guarantee  contracts  are  contracts  that  require  the  issuer  to  make  specified  payments  to  reimburse  the  holder 
for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due, in accordance with the terms of a debt 
instrument. Such financial guarantees are given to banks, financial institutions and others on behalf of customers to secure 
loans, overdrafts and other banking facilities.

Financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at the   higher of:

• 
• 

The amount of the loss allowance; and
The premium received on initial recognition less income recognised in accordance with the principles of IFRS 
15.

Loan commitments provided by the Bank are measured as the amount of the loss allowance.  The Bank has not provided 
any commitment to provide loans at below-market interest rate, or that can be settled net in cash or by delivering or issuing 
another financial instrument.

For  loan  commitments  and  financial  guarantee  contracts,  the  loss  allowance  is  recognised  in  other  liabilities.    However, 
for contracts that include both a loan and an undrawn commitment and the Bank cannot separately identify the expected 
credit losses on the undrawn commitment component from those on the loan component, the expected credit losses on the 
undrawn commitment are recognised together with the loss allowance for the loan.  To the extent that the combined expected 
credit losses exceed the gross carrying amount of the loan, the expected credit losses are recognised in other liabilities.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the 
actual results.  Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Bank’s accounting policies.

Note 2.4 (Use of estimates and judgements) provides an overview of the areas that involve a higher degree of judgement or 
complexity, and major sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within 
the next financial year.  Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in the related notes 
together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Measurement of the expected credit loss allowance

The measurement of the expected credit loss allowance for financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI is an 
area  that  requires  the  use  of  complex  models  and  significant  assumptions  about  future  economic  conditions  and  credit 
behaviour (e.g. the likelihood of customers defaulting and the resulting losses). A number of significant judgements are also 
required in applying the accounting requirements for measuring ECL, such as:

• 
• 
• 

• 

Determining criteria for significant increase in credit risk;
Choosing appropriate models and assumptions for the measurement of ECL;
Establishing the number and relative weightings of forward-looking scenarios for each type of   product/market 
and the associated ECL; and 
Establishing groups of similar financial assets for the purposes of measuring ECL.

The Bank evaluates ECLs for 7 portfolios of audited corporates with overdraft limits, audited corporates without overdraft 
limits,  unaudited  corporates  with  overdraft  limits,  unaudited  corporates  without  overdraft  limits,  SMEs  with  limits,  SMEs 
without limits and Retail loans. 

The guiding principle of the Expected Credit Loss evaluation is to reflect the general pattern of deterioration or improvement 
in the credit quality of financial instruments and allocate commensurate loss provisions. Under the general approach, there 
are two measurement bases:

• 

• 

12-month ECLs (Stage 1 ECLs) that is evaluated for all financial instruments with no significant deterioration 
in credit quality since initial recognition.
Lifetime ECLs (Stages 2 and 3 ECLs) that is evaluated for financial instruments for which  significant increase 
in credit risk or default has occurred on an individual or collective basis.

Probability of Default (PD)

The Bank defines Probability of Default as the likelihood that a borrower will fail to meet their contractual obligations in 
the future. The Bank’s PD models have been built using historical credit default experience, present credit information as 
well as forward looking factors which affect the capacity of borrowers to meet their contractual obligations. The Bank used 
the logistic regression approach to construct PD models for Corporate, SME, Retail and Treasury Bills portfolios while the 
Merton model was adopted for Interbank Placements. The PD models are used at entity level to evaluate 12 - month PDs 
for Day 1 losses and for financial instruments with no significant deterioration in credit risk since initial recognition, whilst 
lifetime PD is used for financial instruments for which significant increase in credit risk or default has occurred. 12 - month 
PDs are derived using borrower present risk characteristics while lifetime PDs are derived using a combination of 12 - month 
PDs, present borrower behaviour and forward looking macroeconomic factors.

Exposure at Default (EAD)

The Bank defines Exposure at Default as an estimation of the extent to which the Bank will be exposed to a counterparty in 
the event of a default. The Bank’s EAD models have been built using historical experience of debt instruments that defaulted. 
The Bank used the linear regression approach to construct EAD models for Corporate, SME and Retail portfolios. For TBs 
and Interbank Placements, the Bank took a conservative approach of considering the full outstanding balance as the EAD 
at any given point in the lifetime of an instrument. The Bank’s EAD models that use Credit Conversion  Factors (CCFs) 
are applied on fully drawn down instruments while models that use Loan Equivalents (LEQs) are applied on partly drawn 
instruments. The EAD models are used at entity level to evaluate the proportion of the exposure that will be outstanding at 
the point of default. 

Loss Given Default (LGD)

The Bank defines Loss Given Default as an estimate of the ultimate credit loss in the event of a default. The Bank’s LGD 
models  were  built  using  historical  experience  of  defaulted  debt  instruments  and  observed  recoveries.  The  Bank  used 
the linear regression approach to construct LGD models for Corporate, SME and Retail portfolios. For Treasury Bills and 
Interbank Placements, the Bank took a conservative approach of taking a fixed 100% as the LGD at any given point in the 
lifetime of an instrument. The LGD models are used at portfolio level to evaluate 12 - month LGDs for financial instruments 
with no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and lifetime is applied LGDs for financial instruments for 
which significant increase in credit risk has occurred. 12 - month LGDs were derived as historical loss rates while lifetime 
LGDs were derived using a combination of 12 - month LGDs and forward looking macroeconomic factors such as GDP 
and Inflation.

The Bank’s ECL model combines the output of the PD, EAD and LGD and computes an Expected Credit Loss that takes 
into account the time value of money using the Effective Interest Rates (EIR) and time to maturity of the debt instruments.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

The final ECL is a probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating three (3) possible outcomes of Best Case 
ECL, Baseline Case ECL and Worst Case ECL.  The Bank has modelled these three cases in such a 
way that the Best Case represents a scenario of lower than market average default rates, the Base Case represents scenarios 
of comparable market average default rates and the Worst Case represents scenarios of higher than market average default 
rates.

Forward looking information

In its ECL models, NMB Bank relies on a broad range of forward looking information as macroeconomic inputs, such as:

Inflation Rate

This is the inflation of the country of Zimbabwe. The Bank approximates the impact of inflation on the future quality of the 
credit portfolio by measuring the variation between the inflation rate at reporting date and the highest forecasted inflation 
rate for the period 2020-2023. Current inflation data is collected from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) and Zimbabwe 
National Statistics Agency (ZIMSTAT) websites while inflation forecast data is collected from the World Bank websites.

Unemployment Rates

The  Bank  defines  this  as  the  unemployed  proportion  of  the  country’s  population.  The  Bank  approximates  the  impact  of 
unemployment on the future quality of the credit portfolio by assessing the direction of the rate. Increasing unemployment 
rate tends to indicate economic downsizing in the future while an improving unemployment rate ordinarily indicates economic 
growth.

Market Non-Performing Loans Rate

The Bank assesses the variance between its non-performing loans rate and the market average NPL rate as at reporting 
date. The variance approximates the performance of the Bank against the market with respect to the ability of the Bank to 
underwrite low credit loans. 

Producer Price Index (PPI)

The Bank assesses this as the cost of production for companies. The Bank approximates the impact of PPI on the future 
quality of the credit portfolio by assessing the direction of the index. Increasing PPI tend to indicate economic downsizing in 
the future while decreasing PPI ordinarily promotes economic growth in the future. PPI data is collected from the RBZ and 
ZIMSTAT websites.

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.

Collateral valuation

The  Group  seeks  to  use  collateral,  where  possible,  to  mitigate  its  credit  risk  on  financial  assets. The  collateral  comes  in 
various forms such as cash, securities, letters of credit/guarantees, real estate, receivables, inventories, other non-financial 
assets and credit enhancements such as netting agreements. The fair value of collateral is generally assessed, at a minimum, 
at inception and based on the Group’s quarterly reporting schedule, however, some collateral, for example, cash or securities 
relating to margining requirements, is valued daily.  To the extent possible, the Group uses active market data for valuing 
financial assets, held as collateral. Other financial assets
which  do  not  have  a  readily  determinable  market  value  are  valued  using  models.  Non-financial  collateral,  such  as  real 
estate, is valued based on data provided by third parties such as mortgage brokers, housing price indices, audited financial 
statements, and other independent sources. (See note 39.1.4 for further analysis of collateral).

Collateral repossessed

The Group’s policy is to determine whether a repossessed asset is best used for its internal operations or should be sold.  
Assets determined to be useful for the internal operations are transferred to their relevant asset category at the lower of 
their repossessed value or the carrying value of the original secured asset.  Assets that are determined better to be sold, are 
immediately transferred to assets held for sale at their value at the repossession date in line with the Group’s policy.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position if, and 
only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a 
net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting 
agreements, therefore, the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the statement of financial position.

Non-performing loans

Interest on loans and advances is accrued as 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.   The  suspended  interest  is  recognised  as  a  provision  in  the  statement  of  financial  position.  Such  suspended 
interest is deducted from loans and advances in the statement of financial position. This policy meets the requirements of the 
Banking Regulations, Statutory Instrument, 205 of 2000.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include notes and coins on hand, unrestricted balances held with central bank and highly liquid 
financial assets with original maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant 
risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by the Group in the management of its short term commitments.

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at amortised cost in the statement of financial position.

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 recognised 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 
recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.

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

Any revaluation surplus is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the 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 recognised in  profit or loss, in which case the increase is recognised in 
profit or loss.  A revaluation deficit is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it offsets an existing surplus on the 
same asset recognised 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 annual transfer from the asset revaluation reserve to retained earnings is made for the difference between depreciation 
based  on  the  revalued  carrying  amount  of  the  assets  and  depreciation  based  on  the  assets  original  cost.   Additionally, 
accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the 
net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.  Upon disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to the particular 
asset being sold is transferred to retained earnings.

An  item  of  property  and  plant  and  equipment  is  derecognised  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 
derecognised.

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

residual values at the following rates per annum, on a straight-line basis.

and any impairment loss.

Amortisation of intangible assets

The depreciable amount of an intangible asset with a finite useful life is allocated on a straight line basis over its useful life.  
The amortisation rate is as follows:

Computer software   

20%

LEASES

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.

As lessor

Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards 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.  

As lessee

In  terms  of  IFRS  16,  the  Group  recognises  lease  liabilities  in  relation  to  leases  which  had  previously  been  classified  as 
‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17, Leases.  These liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining 
lease payments, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

The Group has neither enjoyed nor extended any lease payment holidays in its capacity as either lessee or lessor respectively 
due to COVID-19.  As such, there are no COVID-19 induced lease modifications applicable during the period under review.

Measurement of right-of-use assets

The associated right-of-use assets for property leases are measured on a prospective basis.  The right-of-use assets are 
measured  at  the  amount  equal  to  the  lease  liability,  adjusted  by  the  amount  of  any  prepaid  or  accrued  lease  payments 
relating to that lease recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost.  The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the 
lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-
line basis.  In circumstances where the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset 
is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.  The Group revalues its land and buildings that are presented within 
property and equipment and it has elected not to do so for the right-of-use buildings held by the Group. 

IMPAIRMENT OF NON FINANCIAL ASSETS

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets other than consumables 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
for year ended 31 December 2020

IMPAIRMENT OF NON FINANCIAL ASSETS (continued)

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 amount.

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.

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. Rental income from investment properties is 
recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an 
integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease. 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. Revaluation is done at the end of each year 
by a registered independent professional valuer.

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 banking subsidiary 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.

WRITE-OFFS

Financial  assets are written off where  the recovery  efforts have  been  pursued  actively  over one  year without  success or 
when it is uneconomical and inefficient to keep carrying the debt in the books as the chances of recovery become slim.  Such 
accounts become subjects of write-backs in the event of recovery.

Partial write-offs may be possible in cases where collateral security held is inadequate to expunge the debt in full.

FEES AND COMMISSION INCOME

Fees and commission income and expense that are integral to the effective interest rate on a financial asset or financial 
liability are included in the measurement of the EIR. 
Other fees and commission – including retail banking customer fees, corporate banking and credit related fees, fees from 
financial  guarantee  contracts,  commission  from  international  banking  activities  and  fees  from  corporate  finance  –  are 
recognised as the related services are performed. If a loan commitment is not expected to be drawn down of a loan, then the 
related commitment fees are recognised on a straight line basis over the commitment period. 
Other fees and commitment expense relate mainly transaction and service fees, which are expensed as the services are 
received.

for year ended 31 December 2020

INTEREST INCOME 

For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost and financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or 
loss, interest income or expense is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the 
estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where 
appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.

Interest income includes income arising out of the banking activities of lending and investing. 

INTEREST EXPENSE

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

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.

Short term employee benefits/and share based payments

Short  term  employee  benefits  are  expensed  as  the  related  service  is  provided.   A  liability  is  recognised  for  the  amount 
expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service 
provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

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 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. 

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.

SHAREHOLDERS’ FUNDS AND SHAREHOLDERS’ LIABILITIES

Shareholders’ funds and shareholders’ liabilities refers to the  total investment made by the shareholders in the Group and it 
consists of share capital, share premium, share options reserve, functional currency translation reserve, retained earnings, 
redeemable ordinary shares and subordinated loans. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares 
are recognised as a deduction from equity. Income tax relating to transaction costs of an equity transaction is accounted for 
in accordance with IAS 12.

ACCOUNTING CONVENTION

2.1 

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements including comparatives, have been prepared under the inflation adjusted 
accounting basis to account for changes in the general purchasing power of the ZWL.  The restatement is based on the 
Consumer Price Index at the statement of financial position date.  The indices are derived from the monthly inflation rates 
which are issued by the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZIMSTAT).  The indices used are shown below.  These 
condensed consolidated financial statements are reported in Zimbabwean dollars and rounded to the nearest dollar.

All  comparative  figures  as  of  and  for  the  periods  ended  31  December  2018,  31  December  2019  and  31 
December 2020 have been restated by applying the change in the index to 31 December 2020;
Income statement transactions have been restated by applying the change in the index from the approximate 
date of the transactions to 31 December 2020;
Gains and losses arising from the monetary assets or liability positions have been included in the income 
statement;
Non-monetary assets and liabilities have been restated by applying the change in the index from the date of 
the transaction to 31 December 2020;
Property and equipment and accumulated depreciation have been restated by applying the change in the 
index from the date of their purchase or re-assessment to 31 December 2020;
Equity has been restated by applying the change in index from the date of issue to 31 December 2020;

The net impact of applying the procedures above is shown in the statement of comprehensive income as the gain or loss 
on net monetary position.

IAS 29 discourages the publication of historical results as a supplement to the inflation adjusted results.  However, historical 
results have been published as additional information for the users of the Group’s financial statements.  The Auditors have 
not expressed an opinion on the historical results.

2.2 

Functional and presentation currency

For the purposes of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of the Group are expressed in 
Zimbabwe dollars which is the functional currency of the Group, and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial 
statements. 

2.3 

Comparative financial information

The Group financial statements comprise the consolidated and separate statements of financial position, comprehensive 
income, changes in equity and cash flows. The comparative information covers a period of twelve months.

2.4 

Use of estimates, judgements and assumptions

In  preparation  of  the  consolidated  and  separate  financial  statements,  Directors  have  made  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  estimates  are  recognised 
prospectively.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment 
in the year ending 31 December 2021 is included in the following notes.

for year ended 31 December 2020

2. 

ACCOUNTING CONVENTION (cont’d)

2.4.1 

Deferred tax 

Deferred taxation is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.  Temporary differences arising out of the initial 
recognition of assets or liabilities and temporary differences on initial recognition of business combinations that affect neither 
accounting nor taxable profit are not recognised.  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.

2.4.2 

Land and buildings

The properties were valued by an independent professional valuer. The determined fair value of land and buildings is most 
sensitive to significant unobservable inputs. The property market is currently not stable due to liquidity constraints.

2.4.3  

Investment properties 

Investment properties were valued by an independent professional valuer. The properties market is currently not stable due 
to liquidity constraints.

2.4.4 

Impairment losses on loans and advances

The Group 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 Group 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.

2.4.5  

COVID-19

The Directors fully acknowledge the unprecedented challenges and uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.  In that 
regard, significant judgments have generally been applied in light of the likely impacts of COVID-19 on the Group’s activities.  
The Directors fully acknowledge the challenges and uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.  As such, significant 
judgements have generally been applied in light of the potential impacts of COVID-19 on the Group’s activities.

2.4.6 

Going concern

The Directors have assessed the ability of the Group and 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.  

2.4.7 

 Determination of the functional currency

The  Government  of  Zimbabwe  adopted  a  multi-currency  regime  in  2009.  The  British  Pound,  Euro,  United  States  Dollar 
(USD),  South African  Rand  (ZAR)  and  Botswana  Pula  were  adopted  as  the  multi-currency  basket  in  February  2009.  In 
January 2014, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) issued a Monetary Policy Statement which added the Chinese Yuan, 
Australian Dollar, Indian Rupee, Japanese Yen into the basket of multi-currencies. At the onset, the USD and the ZAR were 
the commonly used currencies, with the USD eventually gaining prominence resulting in it being designated as the functional 
and presentation currency by the transacting public and the Monetary Authorities, including the Group.

Between 2014 and 2016, the Zimbabwean economy experienced a massive liquidity crisis which eventually prompted the 
Monetary Authorities to introduce the bond notes in November 2016 whilst encouraging the public to continue using the other 
currencies in the multi-currency basket. The bond notes were introduced at an official fixed exchange rate of 1:1 with the 
USD and the Monetary Authorities specifically directed financial institutions not to open separate vault and cash accounts 
for  the  USD  and  the  bond  notes. The  introduction  of  the  bond  notes  gave  rise  to  a  three  (3)  tier  pricing  system  wherein 
sellers and service providers would quote three (3) separate prices (USD, bond notes and RTGS/electronic transfers) for 
their merchandise and services respectively. Significant discounts were being offered for USD payments whilst a premium 
would be added for prices quoted in bond notes or electronic settlement via the Real Time Gross Settlement System (RTGS). 
These developments triggered a debate around the functional currency of Zimbabwe. It should be noted that the Group never 
participated in the three tier pricing and none of its products had multiple prices during the same period.

ACCOUNTING CONVENTION (cont’d)

2.4 

Use of estimates, judgements and assumptions (cont’d)

2.4.7 

 Determination of the functional currency (cont’d)

In October 2018, the Monetary Authorities instructed financial institutions to separate bond notes and USD accounts and 
indicated that corporates and individuals could proceed to open Nostro Foreign Currency Accounts (FCA), for foreign currency 
holdings, which were now being exclusively distinguished from the existing RTGS based accounts. However, it should be 
noted that at the time of this policy pronouncement, the Monetary Authorities did not state that they had introduced a new 
currency for Zimbabwe, which actually meant that the USD remained as the currency of reference. By 31 December 2018, 
there had been no pronouncement by the Monetary Authorities to the effect that there had been a new currency introduced, 
which could be considered as the country’s functional currency.

On 22 February 2019, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) issued an Exchange Control Directive, RU 28 of 2019 which 
established an interbank foreign exchange market to formalise the buying and selling of foreign currency through the Banks 
and  Bureaux  de  change.    In  order  to  establish  an  exchange  rate  between  the  current  monetary  balances  and  foreign 
currency, the Monetary Authorities denominated the existing RTGS balances in circulation as RTGS Dollars. Initial trades 
on 22 February 2019 were at USD1: RTGS$2.5. On the same date, Statutory Instrument 33 of 2019 was also issued and it 
specified that for accounting and other purposes, all assets and liabilities that were in USD immediately before the 22nd of 
February 2019 were deemed to have been valued in RTGS Dollars at a rate of 1:1 with the USD. 

On 24 June 2019, the Monetary Authorities announced that the multi-currency regime, which the country was operating in 
since February 2009 had been discontinued and the country had adopted a mono-currency regime meaning that the sole 
legal tender would be the Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWL). 

On 26 March 2020, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe in a press statement announced various interventions in response to the 
financial vulnerabilities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.  One of the measures announced therein was the authorization 
of the use of free-funds in paying for goods and services, in terms of Statutory Instrument (SI) 85 of 2020.  On 24 July 2020, 
the Government of Zimbabwe issued Statutory Instrument (SI) 185 of 2020, which granted permission to display, quote or 
offer prices for all goods and services in both Zimbabwe dollars and foreign currency at the interbank exchange rate. 

On 23 June 2020, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe introduced the Foreign Exchange Auction System, effectively abandoning 
the fixed foreign currency exchange rate regime which had been prevailing for the greater part of 2020.  Significant trades 
have been recorded on the platform and significant movements in the exchange rate have been resultantly recorded.

In light of the developments summarised above, the Directors concluded that the Group’s functional currency remains the 
Zimbabwe dollar (ZWL) following its change from US$ with effect from 22 February 2019.  

2.4.8 

Lease arrangements

The Directors have exercised significant judgement on determining whether the various contractual relationships which the 
Group is party to, contain lease arrangements which fall into the scope of IFRS 16.  Significant judgement was also exercised 
in determining whether the Group is reasonably certain that it will exercise extension options present in lease contracts as 
well. 

2.5 

Standards issued and effective

2.5.1 

Amendments to references to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS standards

These changes were applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020.  In October 2018, the IASB issued 
amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates 
and Errors to align the definition of ‘material’ across the standards and to clarify certain aspects of the definition.  The new 
definition states that, ‘information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence 
decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, 
which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.’  The amendments did not have a significant impact on 
the Group’s financial statements.

2. 

ACCOUNTING CONVENTION (cont’d)

2.5.1 

Amendments to references to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS standards  (cont’d)

The  amendments  must  be  applied  to  transactions  that  are  either  business  combinations  or  asset  acquisitions  for  which 
the acquisition date was on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2020.  
Consequently, entities do not have to revisit such transactions that occurred in prior periods.  Earlier application is permitted 
and must be disclosed.

The IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 Business Combinations to help entities determine 
whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a business or not.  They clarify the minimum requirements for a business, 
removed the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing elements, add guidance to 
help entities assess whether an acquired process is substantive, narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs and 
introduce an optional fair value 
concentration test. The Group concluded that the changes did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

2.6 

Standards issued and not yet adopted

2.6.1 

Amendments to IAS 37 Onerous Contract – Costs of Fulfilling a Contract

The  changes  are  effective  1  January  2022.   The  amendments  apply  a  ‘directly  related  cost  approach’.   The  costs  relate 
directly to a contract to provide goods or services include both incremental costs (e.g. the costs of direct labour and materials) 
and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities.  The Group does not expect this to have a material impact on 
its operations.

The changes are effective 1 January 2022.  The amendment prohibits entities from deducting from the cost of an item of 
property,  plant  and  equipment,  any  proceeds  of  the  sale  of  items  produced  while  bringing  that  asset  to  the  location  and 
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.  Instead, an entity recognises 
the proceeds from selling such items and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss.  This is not expected to have 
a material impact on the Group.

3. 

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   

International banking  

Digital Banking 

- 

- 

- 

- 

- 

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 foreign currency trading.

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

Handles the Bank’s Digital Banking products including Card and POS services.

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 Group’s total 
revenue in 2020 or 2019.

*Income not subject to tax includes coupon interest from Treasury Bills and income from mortgages for the Group as well as    
     non-deductible income attributable to the unwinding of share based payments for the company.
** Non-deductible expenses include provisions, disallowable pension deductions and depreciation.
***The change in tax bases arose from the legislative pronouncement in the Finance (No.2 ) Act of 2020 which resulted in  the   
      rebasing of unredeemed foreign currency capital balances on assets ranking for capital allowances using the USD/ZWL official 
    exchange rate prevailing on 1 January 2021.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

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 dilutive potential ordinary shares; and 
(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.

On  30  June  2013,  the  Group  received  USD14  831  145  capital  from  Nederlandse  Financierings-Maatschappij  Voor 
Ontiwikkelingslanden  N.V.  (FMO),  Norwegian  Investment  Fund  for  Developing  Countries  (Norfund)  and AfricInvest  Financial 
Sector Holdings (AfricInvest) who were allocated 34 571 429 shares each (total 103 714 287) for individually investing USD4 943 
715.  This amount, net of share issue expenses, was used to recapitalise the Bank in order to contribute towards the minimum 
capital requirements previously set by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe of ZWL200 million by 31 December 2020.  FMO and 
Norfund came together with Rabobank to form ARISE which is a development finance institution primarily focusing on investing 
in African financial institutions to support and enhance financial service delivery in Africa. 

NMBZ Holdings Limited (NMBZ) entered into a share buy-back agreement with Norfund, FMO and AfricInvest, where these three 
strategic investors have a right at their own discretion at any time after the 5th anniversary (30 June 2018) but before the 9th 
anniversary (30 June 2022) of its first subscription date, to request NMBZ to buy back all or part of its NMBZ shares at a price to 
be determined using the agreed terms as entailed in the share buy-back agreement. It is a condition precedent that at any point 
when the share buy-back is being considered, the proceeds used to finance the buy-back should come from the distributable 
reserves which are over and above the minimum regulatory capital requirements. Further, no buy-back option can be exercised 
by any investor after the 9th anniversary (30 June 2022) of the effective date.

The share buy-back agreement creates a potential obligation for NMBZ Holdings Limited to purchase its own instruments.  The 
shares issued gave rise to a potential financial liability and are classified as redeemable ordinary shares.

In 2013, the Bank received a subordinated term loan amounting to USD1.4 million from a Development Financial Institution 
which attracts an interest rate of LIBOR plus 10% and has a seven year maturity date (13 June 2020) from the first disbursement 
date.

The above liability would, in the event of the winding up of the issuer, be subordinated to the claims of depositors and all other 
creditors of the issuer. The Group defaulted on a principal repayments with respect to this subordinated loan during the year 
ended 31 December 2019 as a result of the prevailing nostro funding challenges affecting the economy.  There was a breach on 
the Aggregate Unhedged Open Foreign Currency Positions Ratio covenant which stood at 19.05% (instead of a maximum 10%) 
between the Group and the Development Financial Institution at the reporting date of 31 December 2020. However, there were 
no defaults on interest payments.  

On  22  February  2019,  the  Reserve  Bank  of  Zimbabwe  (RBZ)  issued  an  Exchange  Control  directive,  RU  28  of  2019  which 
established an interbank foreign exchange market to formalise the buying and selling of foreign currency through the Banks and 
Bureaux de change.  In order to establish an exchange rate between the current monetary balances and foreign currency, the 
Monetary Authorities denominated the existing RTGS balances in circulation, as RTGS dollars. The RBZ pegged the initial trades 
at US$/RTGS$1:2.5. In order to manage the transition, the RBZ also advised on the same date that all foreign liabilities or legacy 
debts due to suppliers and service providers, declared dividends e.t.c would be treated separately after registering such debts 
with the RBZ Exchange Control Department for an orderly expunging of these debts.

Consequently, the Group registered its legacy debts, which included the subordinated term loan and offshore lines of credit and 
transferred the ZWL equivalent of these debts at a rate of US$/ZWL1:1 to the RBZ in terms of the RBZ directive.  These legacy 
debts and the related amounts transferred to the RBZ in terms of the RBZ directive on the legacy debts, have been translated 
using the interbank rate at reporting date. During the period under review, the RBZ approved the legacy debt in respect of the 
subordinated term loan.

*    The carrying amounts of current and deposit accounts and trade and other payables approximate the related fair values due 
to their short term nature.

Included in trade and other payables are lease liabilities ranging from 1 to 5 years in respect of leased properties  in which the 
Group is a lessee.

Also included in trade and other liabilities are ECL provisions in respect of guarantees and facilities approved but not drawn 
down.

**    Included  in  deposits  from  banks  and  other  financial  institutions  are  loan  balances  of  ZWL707  186  403  (2019  –  ZWL654 
115 604), ZWL365 711 501 (2019 – ZWL330 653 630) and ZWL484 792 463 (2019 – ZWL90 292 554) due to Nederlandse 
Financierings-Maatschappij Voor Ontiwikkelingslanden (FMO), Swedfund and Afreximbank.  The carrying amounts of deposits 
from other banks and other financial institutions approximate the related fair values. All the loan balances except for Afreximbank 
are part of the Group’s legacy debts which were registered with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) for an orderly expunging 
of the debts.  During the previous reporting period, the Group transferred the ZWL equivalent of the legacy debts at a rate of US$/
ZWL1:1 to the RBZ as per requirement of the Exchange Control directive RU 28 of 2019.  There were no breaches to the financial 
covenants.  However, the Group defaulted on the principal repayments repayments on the FMO and Swedfund facilities during 
the period under review due to the nostro-funding challenges that were prevailing in the economy and subsequent to period end, 
the above mentioned lines of credit balances have since been transferred to the RBZ for an orderly expunging of the debts. The 
Bank has been communicating with the lenders regarding these developments.

The line of credit balances have been translated at 31 December 2020 at the closing rate of USD/ZWL81.7368.  Consequently, 
the amount transferred to the RBZ for the settlement of these debts has been translated at the same closing rate as it represents 
the Bank’s right to the settlement of the related lines of credit. During the period under review, the RBZ approved the legacy debt 
in respect of the FMO and Swedfund lines of credit.

17.3   

Fair values of financial instruments

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities that are traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices or 
dealer price quotations. For all other financial instruments, the Group determines fair values using other valuation techniques. 

For  financial  instruments  that  trade  infrequently  and  have  little  price  transparency,  fair  value  is  less  objective,  and  requires 
varying degrees of judgement depending on liquidity, concentration, uncertainty of market factors, pricing assumptions and other 
risks affecting the specific instrument. 

The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value measurement that reflects the price that would be received to sell 
the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Valuation models 

The Group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in 
making the measurements. 

• 
• 

• 

Level 1: inputs that are quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical  instruments;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable either directly (i.e. as prices) or 
indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). This category includes instruments valued using: quoted market prices in active 
markets for similar instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less 
than active; or other valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market 
data; and
Level 3: inputs that are unobservable. This category includes all instruments for which the valuation technique includes 
inputs not based on observable data and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument’s valuation. 
This category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments for which significant 
unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments. 

The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value measurement that reflects the price that would be received to sell 
the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

During the reporting periods ended 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, there were no transfers between Level 1 and 
Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

17.3 

Financial instruments not measured at fair value
Below is a list of the Group’s financial investments not measured at fair value, but whose carrying amounts approximate fair 
value.

Cash and cash equivalents consists of balances with the Central Bank, other banks and cash with original maturities of three 
months or less. These balances are subject to insignificant risk of change in their fair value. It is the Directors’ assessment that 
the carrying amount of these balances approximates their fair value at any given time.

Loans, advances and other assets 

he  estimated  fair  value  of  loans,  advances  and  other  assets  is  estimated  to  approximate  the  carrying  amount  due  to  non-
availability of benchmark interest rates to discount the expected future cash flows thereof.  The Directors believe that current 
interest rates are market related and would re-issue the loans at the same interest rate if needed. It is from this assessment that 
Directors believe that the carrying amount of these balances reasonably approximate fair value as discounting the future cash 
flow using the current interest rates would not result in significant differences from the carrying amount. 

Investment securities

These financial assets consist of open market treasury bills and government bonds. There is currently no observable active 
market for these instruments; or a reliable proxy to discount the expected future cash flows. Directors believe that the carrying 
amount approximates fair value on these instruments. In performing this assessment, Directors have determined that interest 
rates are consistent with the latest transactions that the Group entered into and the average tenor of the portfolio was short-term 
in nature.

Deposits and other liabilities

The  estimated  fair  value  of  deposits  with  no  stated  maturity,  which  includes  non-interest  bearing  deposits,  is  the  amount 
repayable on demand. The estimated fair value of fixed interest-bearing deposits approximates the carrying amount as interest 
rates quoted are market related. It is the view of Directors that the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities reasonably 
approximate fair values.

Investment properties comprise commercial properties and residential properties that are leased out to third parties and land 
held for future development.  No properties were encumbered.

Rental income amounting to ZWL7 610 897 (2019 – ZWL1 280 872) was received and no operating expenses were incurred on 
the leased investment properties in the current year due to the net leasing arrangement on the properties.

The Bank has no restrictions on the realisability of its investment properties and no contractual obligations to purchase, construct 
or develop the investment properties or for repairs, maintenance and enhancements.

Measurement of fair value

Fair value hierarchy

The fair value of the Bank's investment properties as at 31 December 2020 has been arrived at on the basis of valuations carried 
out  by  independent  professional  valuers,  PMA  Real  Estate  (Private)  Limited.  The  valuation  which  conforms  to  International 
Valuation Standards, was in terms of the policy as set out in the accounting policies section and was derived with reference to 
market information close to the date of the valuation.

Level 3

The fair value for investment properties of ZWL1 653 496 476 (2019 – restated ZWL1 031 154 580) has been categorised under 
level 3 in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used for the valuation technique described below.

Valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs
The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring the fair value of investment properties, as well as the 
significant unobservable inputs used.

Valuation Technique

Significant Unobservable Inputs

Inter-relationship between key unobservable 
inputs and fair value measurement

The investment method 
Discounted cash flows 
was used to value all 
income producing prop-
erties.  

The direct comparison 
method was applied on all 
residential properties.

•  Weighted average expected 

market rental growth (5%);
 Void period (average 3 months 
after the end of each lease);
 Occupancy rate (55%); and
 Average market yield of 10%.

• 

• 
• 

The estimated fair value would increase /(decrease) 
if:
• 

expected market rental growth were higher/ 
(lower);
void periods were shorter/(longer);
the occupancy rates were higher /(lower); and
the risk adjusted discount rates were lower/ 
(higher).

•

Measurement of fair value

Fair value hierarchy

Immovable properties were revalued as at 31 December 2020 on the basis of valuations carried out by independent professional valuers, PMA Real 
Estate (Private) Limited. The valuation which conforms to International Valuation Standards, was in terms of the policy as set out in the accounting policies 
section. All movable assets are measured at their carrying amounts which are arrived at by the application of a depreciation charge on their cost values 
over the useful lives of the assets.

 The valuation of land and buildings was arrived by applying yield rates of 10% on rental levels of between ZWL332 – ZWL574 per square metre.

Level 3

 The fair value of immovable properties of ZWL1 441 994 151 (2019 – ZWL1 193 666 636) has been categorised under level 3 in the fair value hierarchy 
based on the inputs used for the valuation technique described below.

 The following shows reconciliation between the opening and closing balances for level 3 fair values:

Valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs
The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring the fair value of investment properties, as well as the 
significant unobservable inputs used.

Valuation Technique

Significant Unobservable Inputs

The Direct Comparison 
Method was applied on all 
residential properties

•     Weighted average expected    
      market rental growth (5%); and
•      Average market yield of 10%.

Inter-relationship between key unobservable 
inputs and fair value measurement

The estimated fair value would increase /(de-
crease) if:

   •   Expected market rental growth were higher/    
       (lower); and
   •   The risk adjusted discount rates were 
       lower/ (higher).

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 specified acts. Guarantees carry the same 
credit risk as loans and advances to customers.

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

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. 
The Board has established the Board Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) and the Board Risk and Compliance 
Committee, which are responsible for defining the Group’s risk universe, developing policies and monitoring implementation. 
The Board also has the Board Credit Committee (BCC) which is responsible for sanctioning credits and the Board Loans Review 
Committee (LRC), which is responsible for monitoring asset quality and adherence to the credit risk management policy.

Risk management is linked logically from the level of individual transactions to the Group level.  Risk management activities 
broadly take place simultaneously at the following different hierarchy levels:

a) 

b) 

c) 

Strategic Level:  This  involves  risk  management  functions  performed  by  senior  management  and  the  board  of 
directors.It includes the definition of risk, ascertaining the Group’s risk appetite, formulating strategy and policy for 
managing risk and establishes adequate systems and controls to ensure overall risk remains within acceptable 
levels and is adequately compensated. 

  Macro Level:  It  encompasses  risk  management  within  a  business  area  or  across  business  lines.    These  risk 

management functions are performed by middle management.

  Micro Level:  This  involves  “On-the-line”  risk  management  where  risks  are  actually  created.   These  are  the  risk 
management activities performed by individuals who assume risk on behalf of the organisation such as Treasury 
Front Office, Corporate Banking, Retail banking etc.  The risk management in these areas is confined to operational 
procedures set by management.

Risk management is premised on four (4) mutually reinforcing pillars, namely:

a) 

b) 

c) 

d) 

34.1 

Credit Risk

adequate board and senior management oversight;

adequate strategy, policies, procedures and limits;

adequate risk identification, measurement, monitoring and information systems; and

comprehensive internal controls and independent reviews.

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  Group’s  general  credit 
strategies centre on sound credit granting process, diligent credit monitoring and strong loan collection and recovery. There 
is a separation between loan collection and recovery. There is a separation between loan granting and credit monitoring to 
ensure independency and effective management of the loan portfolio.  The Board has put in place sanctioning committees 
with  specific  credit  approval  limits.    The  Credit  Management  department  does  the  initial  review  of  all  applications  before 
recommending  them  to  the  Executive  Credit  Committee  and  finally  the  Board  Credit  Committee  depending  on  the  loan 
amount.  The Group has in place a Board Loans Review Committee responsible for reviewing the quality of the loan book and 
adequacy of loan loss provisions.

The  Group  has  an  automated  credit  processes  from  loan  origination,  appraisal,  monitoring  and  collections.    The  system 
has a robust loan monitoring and reporting module which is critical in managing credit risk.  In view of the group’s move into 
the mass market, retail credit has become a key area of focus. The group has put in place robust personal loan monitoring 
systems and structures to mitigate retail loan delinquencies.  This includes a rigorous scheme assessment and a dedicated 
pre-delinquency team and a separate recoveries team.

This is the exposure of the Group’s on and off balance sheet positions to adverse movement in market prices resulting in a loss in 
earnings and capital.  The market prices will range from money market (interest rate risk), foreign exchange and equity markets 
in which the bank operates.  The Group has in place a Management Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) which monitors 
market risk and recommends the appropriate levels to which the Group should be exposed at any time.  Net Interest Margin is 
the primary measure of interest rate risk, supported by periodic stress tests to assess the Group’s ability to withstand stressed 
market conditions.  On foreign exchange risk, the bank monitors currency mismatches and make adjustments depending on 
exchange rate movement forecast.  The mismatches per currency are contained within 5% of the Group’s capital position.

Management ALCO meets on a monthly basis and operates within the prudential guidelines and policies established by the 
Board ALCO.  The Board ALCO is responsible for setting exposure thresholds and limits, and meets on a quarterly basis. The 
following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonable change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the 
Group’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 2020.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont'd)
for year ended 31 December 2020

34.4 

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is the risk of financial loss arising from the inability of the Group to fund asset increases
or meet obligations as they fall due without incurring unacceptable costs or losses. The Group identifies this risk through maturity 
profiling of assets and liabilities and assessment of expected cash flows and the availability of collateral which could be used if 
additional funding is required.

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 the Board 
ALCO. 

The key measure used by the bank for managing liquidity risk is the ratio of net liquid assets to deposits
to customers.  The Group also actively monitors its loans to deposit ratio against a set threshold in a bid to monitor and limit 
funding  risk.   The  group  monitors  funding  concentration  risk  by  reviewing  the  ratio  of  top  20  depositors  to  the  total  funding.  
Funding mix is also monitored by monitoring the contribution of wholesale and demand deposits to the total funding for the bank. 
Liquidity risk is monitored through a daily liquidity reports produced by the Risk Management department. This is augmented by 
a monthly management ALCO and a quarterly board ALCO meetings. 

The contractual maturities of undiscounted cash flows of financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in note 28.1.

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 30% 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.

Operational risk 

This risk is inherent in all business activities and is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, 
systems or from external events. The Group utilises monthly Key Risk Indicators to monitor operational risk in all units.  Further 
to this, the Group has an elaborate Operational Loss reporting system in which all incidents with a material impact on the well-
being of the Group are reported to risk management.  The risk department conducts periodic risk assessments on all the units 
within the Group aimed at identifying the top risks and ways to minimise their impact.  There is a Board Risk and Compliance 
Committee whose function is to ensure that this risk is minimised. The Risk Committee with the assistance of the internal audit 
function and the Risk Management department assesses the adequacy of the internal controls and makes the necessary 
recommendations to the Board.

34.6 

Legal and compliance risk

Legal risk is the 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. Compliance 
risk is the risk arising from non – compliance with laws and regulations.  To manage this risk, permanent relationships are 
maintained with firms of legal practitioners and access to legal advice is readily available to all departments. The Group has 
an independent compliance function which is responsible for identifying and monitoring all compliance issues and ensures the 
Group complies with all regulatory and statutory requirements.

34.7 

Reputational risk

Reputation 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. 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.

34.8 

Strategic risk

This refers to current and prospective impact on a 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 
always has a strategic plan that is adopted by the Board of Directors.  Further, attainment of strategic objectives by the various 
departments is monitored periodically at management level.  

34.9 

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Risk
Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) or sustainability risk is the consideration of non-financial risks arising from the 
environment (flora and fauna) as well as societal issues. The Group is not only concerned about making profits, but is also 
keen on assessing the impact it has on the planet and the people it interacts with. There is a growing number of frameworks 
and standards aimed at addressing global concerns on sustainability. Global risk reports show that environmental and societal 
risks have overtaken economic and geopolitical risks in terms of both likelihood and impact.

High

Low

Level of Inherent Risk

Level of Inherent Risk

Low – reflects a lower than average probability of an adverse impact on a banking institution’s capital and earnings.  Losses in 
a functional area with low inherent risk would have little negative impact on the banking institution’s overall financial condition.

Moderate – could reasonably be expected to result in a loss which could be absorbed by a banking institution in the normal 
course of business.

High – reflects a higher than average probability of potential loss.  High inherent risk could reasonably be expected to result in 
a significant and harmful loss to the banking institution.

Adequacy of Risk Management Systems

Weak – risk management systems are inadequate or inappropriate given the size, complexity and risk profile of the banking 
institution.  Institution’s risk management systems are lacking in important ways and therefore a cause of more than normal 
supervisory attention.  The internal control systems will be lacking in important aspects particularly as indicated by continued 
control exceptions or by the failure to adhere to written policies and procedures.

34.    

RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Acceptable – management of risk is largely effective but lacking to some modest degree.  While the institution might be 
having some minor risk management weaknesses, these have been recognised and are being addressed.  Management 
information systems are generally adequate.

Strong – management effectively identifies and controls all types of risk posed by the relevant functional areas or per inherent 
risk. The board and senior management are active participants in managing risk and ensure appropriate policies and limits are 
put in place.  The policies comprehensively define the bank’s risk tolerance, responsibilities and accountabilities are effectively 
communicated.

Overall Composite Risk

Low – would be assigned to low inherent risk areas.  Moderate risk areas may be assigned a low composite risk where 
internal controls and risk management systems are strong and effectively mitigate much of the risk.

Moderate – risk management systems appropriately mitigates inherent risk.  For a given low risk area, significant weaknesses 
in the risk management systems may result in a moderate composite risk assessment.  

On the other hand, a strong risk management system may reduce the risk so that any potential financial loss from the activity 
would have only a moderate negative impact on the financial condition of the organisation.

High – risk management systems do not significantly mitigate the high inherent risk.  Thus, the activity could potentially result 
in a financial loss that would have a significant impact on the bank’s overall condition.

Direction of Overall Composite Risk

Increasing – based on the current information, risk is expected to increase in the next 12 months.
Decreasing – based on current information, risk is expected to decrease in the next 12 months.
Stable – based on the current information, risk is expected to be stable in the next 12 months.

34.11.2  Banking subsidiary

The primary objective of the Bank’s capital management is to ensure that the Bank 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 comprise not less than 50% of the 
capital base and the regulatory reserves and portfolio provisions are limited to 1.25% of total risk weighted assets.

The Bank’s regulatory capital position at 31 December was as follows:

Subsequent  to  the  Group’s  year  end  date  of  31  December  2020,  the  Government  of  Zimbabwe  announced  more  stringent 
COVID-19 induced lockdown measures in an attempt to contain the spread of the novel Corona virus.  The Directors assessed 
this development and concluded that this had no impact on the Group’s operations, largely due to the fact that the nation had 
been operating under lockdown conditions of varying degrees for the greater part of the year and no material adverse impact 
was noted in terms of the Group’s operations.

For NMB Bank, the safety of people 
and the environment is of paramount 
importance.  The  Group  recognizes 
that  environmental  management 
is  integral  to  good  business  prac-
tice  and  this  is  outlined  within  the 
bank’s Environmental & Social Risk 
Management  Policy  (ESRM).  The 
framework  provides  NMB  Bank’s

only supports business projects and 
operations  that  are  considered  to 
have lesser E&S risks or implement-
ed effective mitigatory measures. As 
a result, the Bank performs an Envi-
ronmental and Social Due Diligence 
screening process before any finan-
cial support to both Corporates and 
SMEs.  The  Group  also  considers 
suppliers  who  are  sensitive  to  sus-

courages its corporate customers to 
prioritize  their  respective  employee 
rights, workers’ health & safety, child 
labor issues as well as to effectively 
manage their greenhouse emissions 
as they carry out their business op-
erations.  Corporate  and  SMEs  bor-

places also supplies condoms to its 
staff  across  its  branch  network.  It 
also provides dust coats, masks and 
fresh  milk  for  tellers  amongst  other 
interventions  aimed  at  promoting 
good  health.  With  the  outbreak  of 
the  Covid-19  pandemic,  the  institu-
tion  had  to  enhance  its  health  and 
safety measures for both customers 
and employees. The Group timeous-
ly  updated  and  operationalized  its 
Business  Continuity  Plan  (BCP)  as 
a  way  to  minimize  the  spread  and 
impact  of  the  novel  virus.  Begin-
ning  April  2020,  the  bank  initiated 
various  Covid  -19  induced  health 
and  safety  measures  that  included 
awareness  programs,  decongestion 
of  workplaces  through  telecommut-
ing, Branch disinfections, social dis-
tancing through reduction of physical 
meetings  amongst  staff  as  well  as 
customer  physical  interaction.  The 
group  also  invested  in  temperature 
screening  thermometers,  hand  san-
itizers, gloves, foot bath & sanitizers, 
sneeze  guards,  face  masks  with 
staff going for Covid-19 virus testing. 
In  this  regard,  employees  were  as-
sisted  both  financially  and  emotion-
ally.  Those  that  tested  positive  for 
the virus were afforded time to seek 
medical  assistance  and  to  recover 
before  resuming  their  duties.  Con-
tact tracing was also conducted and 
all  affected  employees  were  put  on 
isolation  as  per  World  Health  Orga-
nization’s  guidelines.  Unfortunately, 
one casualty or employee death due 
to  the  Covid-19  virus  was  recorded 
in January 2021. The Group contin-
ues to prioritize the health and safety 
of  its  workers  and  customers  going 
into  2021,  especially  considering 
the  Covid-19  second  wave  current-
ly in motion across the country. The 
Group  will  also  continue  to  provide 
transport to its staff to and from work.

124

NMBNMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORTEXPLANATIONS REGARDING THE NOTICE OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (Cont'd)

Resolution 5

All  public  companies  are  required  to  appoint  Auditors  at  each  Annual  General  Meeting  at  which  Financial 
Statements are presented, to hold office until the next such meeting in terms of section 191 (2) of the Companies 
and  Business  Entities  Act  [Chapter  24:31].  This  resolution  therefore  proposes  the  appointment  of  auditors 
in  accordance  with  usual  practice  and  the  Banking Act  [Chapter  24:20].  Ernst  &  Young  have  served  as  the 
Company’s Auditors for four years. Being eligible for re-appointment, the directors propose their appointment as 
the Company’s auditors for the year ending 31 December 2021.

Special Resolution 1

The directors are seeking authority to allow the use of the Company's available cash resources to purchase 
its own shares in the market in terms of the Companies Act and the regulations of the ZSE. The directors will 

only exercise the authority if they believe that to do so would be in the best interests of shareholders generally. 

In exercising this authority, the directors will duly take into account following such repurchase for the next 12 

months, the ability of the Company to pay its debts in the ordinary course of business, the maintenance of an 

excess of assets over liabilities, and for the Company and Group, the adequacy of ordinary capital and reserves 

as well as working capital.

Special Resolution 2

The directors have deemed it necessary that the Company delists from the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”). 

This  is  because  only  a  small  amount  of  trading  in  the  Shares  is  conducted  on  the  LSE;  taking  into  account 

these  low  trading  volumes  and  the  ongoing  regulatory  compliance  and  administrative  costs  the  Company 

incurs annually as a result of its London listing, the Board determined that there is no significant benefit to the 

Company in maintaining the listing. The Company does not believe that the Cancellation will adversely affect its 

shareholders, since the Company’s common shares will continue to be listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange 

(the “ZSE”) and will continue to be tradeable. Given that the Company has its primary listing and main trading 

platform on the ZSE, the continued listing on the LSE would not afford the Company a significant advantage in 

terms of liquidity or additional sources of funding compared to the ongoing costs of maintaining the listing.

Special Resolution 3

The  LSE  register  consists  of  6  shareholders  with  a  total  holding  of  198,443  shares.  The  purchase  of  those 

shares by the Company in line with Special Resolution 1 will not exceed the authority granted to the directors. 

Special Resolution 4

The LSE does not levy a charge for delisting, however there may be agency fees related to the delisting of the 

shares. The costs will be minimal given the small number of shares in question.
