NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION

Capital raising initiatives occupied a greater part of the year under review in a bid to meet the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe prescribed minimum capital requirement of US$25 million by 31 December 2012 and increases of US$25 million per each half year to 30 June 2014. Subsequent to year end, three strategic foreign investors will invest equity capital amounting to US$14.8 million and this will bring NMB Bank Limited, (the Bank) into the top tier banks in terms of capitalisation.

GROUP RESULTS

Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards

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

Commentary on operating results

The profit before taxation was US$10 002 224 during the period under review and this gave rise to an attributable profit of US$7 570 502. Net interest income was US$17 493 781 for the period. Non-interest income amounted to US$15 609 630 and this was mainly as a result of net commissions and fee income (US$13 016 115).

Operating expenses amounted to US$21 452 714 and these were 26% up on prior year and were driven largely by administration, depreciation and staff related expenditure.

Impairment losses on loans and advances amounted to US$3 985 062 for the current period from a prior year of US$2 296 111. This is commensurate with the gross loans and advances which amounted to US$152 417 375 at 31 December 2012 compared to US$119 596 646 as at 31 December 2011.

On 31 January 2013, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe and participating members of the Bankers Association of Zimbabwe (BAZ) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which seeks to establish an understanding on:

   1.     Bank charges on accounts whose monthly deposits are less than US$800. 
   2.     Interest rates on lending to a maximum of the Bank's weighted average cost of funds plus a 

margin of 12.5%.

These measures took effect from 1 February 2013 and going forward these would have a pronounced effect on the Bank's profitability.

Dividend

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

Statement of financial position

The Group's total assets grew by 35% from US$167 287 333 as at 31 December 2011 to US$226 533 682 as at 31 December 2012. The assets comprised mainly loans, advances and other assets (US$146 599 994), investment securities held to maturity (US$5 501 963), cash and short term funds (US$58 171 045), investment properties (US$3 115 300), non-current assets held for sale (US$2 225 300) and property and equipment (US$8 187 459). Gross loans and advances increased by 27% from US$119 596 646 as at 31 December 2011 to US$152 417 375 as at 31 December 2012. The Bank's liquidity ratio closed the period at 42% and this was above the statutory requirement of 30% at 31 December 2012.

Capital

The banking subsidiary's capital adequacy ratio at 31 December 2012 calculated in accordance with the guidelines of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) was 15.50% (31 December 2011 - 14.37%). The minimum required by the RBZ is 12%.

The Group's equity increased by 32% from US$23 371 581 as at 31 December 2011 to US$ 30 942 083 as at 31 December 2012 as a result of growth in retained earnings.

CORPORATE SOCIAL INVESTMENTS

The Group is committed to playing an active role in the communities it serves. Our community investments are channelled into education, the disadvantaged, vulnerable groups, protection of the environment, wild life conservation, the arts and various sporting disciplines. During the year the Group invested US$100 000 in cash and practical resources for various deserving projects.

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

In line with our corporate strategic thrust of enhancing service delivery and banking convenience to our valued high net worth individuals and businesses, we successfully launched the Visa International Debit Card, SMS Alerts, E-Statements, DSTV Payments Real-Time Integration and Real-Time Interface for ZIMRA obligation payments.

OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY

The Group secured lines of credit amounting to US$26 million in the year and these have allowed the Bank to underwrite more lending business for our clients.

DIRECTORATE

Mr Mainos Mudukuti resigned from the Board on 22 May 2012. I would like to thank Mr Mudukuti for his invaluable contributions to the Board over the years. There were no other changes to the composition of the Board during the year under review.

APPRECIATION

I would like to express my gratitude to our valued clients, existing and new shareholders and the Regulatory Authorities for their support during the period under review. I would also like to record my appreciation to my fellow Board members, management and staff for their unwavering commitment and sterling dedication which gave rise to the attainment of these results.

NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 31 December 2012

   1.      REPORTING ENTITY 

The Holding Company is incorporated and domiciled in Zimbabwe and is an investment holding company. Its registered office is 64 Kwame Nkrumah Avenue, Harare. Its principal operating subsidiary is engaged in banking and other companies hold investments.

   2.      ACCOUNTING CONVENTION 

Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the Companies Act (Chapter 24:03) and the Banking Act (Chapter 24:20).

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 19 March 2013.

   2.1    Basis of preparation 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for quoted and other investments, investment properties and financial instruments which are carried at fair value and land, buildings which are stated at revalued amount. These consolidated financial statements are reported in United States of America dollars and rounded to the nearest dollar.

   2.2    Basis of consolidation 

The Group financial results incorporate the financial results of the Company, its subsidiaries and associate company. Subsidiary undertakings are those companies in which the Group, directly or indirectly, has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights and is able to exercise control of the operations. Control exists when the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial results of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses; profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions that are recognised in assets and liabilities are eliminated in full.

   2.3    Comparative financial information 

The consolidated financial statements comprise a consolidated statement of financial position, a consolidated statement of comprehensive income, a consolidated statement of changes in equity and a consolidated statement of cash flows. The comparative consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the consolidated comparative statements of changes in equity and consolidated cash flows are for twelve months.

   2.4     Use of estimates and judgements 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

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

2.4.1 Deferred tax liability/(asset)

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

In determining the amounts used for taxation purposes the directors referred to applicable effective exchange rates at the date of acquisition of assets or incurring of liabilities. The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA), announced methods to account for the deferred tax arising on assets purchased in ZWD. These methods require the preparer to first estimate the equivalent USD value of those assets at the time of purchase. Since the measurement of transactions in Zimbabwe dollars in the prior periods is affected by several economic variables such as mode of payment and hyperinflation this is an area where the directors have had to apply their judgement and acknowledge there could be significant variations in the results achieved depending on assumptions made.

2.4.2 Land and buildings

The properties were valued by professional valuers. The valuer applied the rental yield method and comparable market evidence to assess fair value of land and buildings. The determined fair value of land and buildings is most sensitive to the estimated yield as well as the long term vacancy rate. In addition, the property market is currently not stable due to liquidity constraints and hence comparable values are also not stable.

2.4.3 Investment properties and property and equipment

Investment properties were valued by professional valuers.

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

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

2.4.4 RBZ Bond

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

2.4.5 Impairment losses on loans and advances

The Group reviews all 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. The collective assessment takes account of data from the loan portfolio (such as credit quality, levels of arrears, credit utilisation, loan to collateral ratios etc.), concentrations of risks and economic data.

The impairment loss on loans and advances is disclosed in more detail under note 8 and note 14.3 below.

2.4.6 Going concern

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

NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 31 December 2012

   3.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these abridged financial statements are set out in Note 2 and 3. These policies have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

   3.1    Financial instruments 

3.1.1 Classification

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss include financial assets and liabilities held for trading i.e. those that the Group principally holds for the purpose of short-term profit taking as well as those that were, upon initial recognition, designated by the entity as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market other than those classified as held-for-trading and the Group upon initial recognition designates as at fair value through profit or loss and those the Group upon initial recognition designates as available-for-sale.

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

Financial assets available-for-sale are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for- sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

3.1.2 Recognition

The Group recognises financial assets at fair value through profit and loss and available for sale assets on the date it commits to purchase the assets. From this date any gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of the assets are recognised in the income statement and other comprehensive income respectively.

Held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables are recognised at cost which is the fair value of the consideration given on the day that they are transferred to the Group.

   3.1.3    Measurement 

Financial assets and liabilities are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value through profit and loss and available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value, except that any instrument that does not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured is stated at cost, less impairment losses.

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

   3.1.4   Fair value measurement principles 

The fair value of financial instruments is based on their quoted market price at the reporting date without any deduction for transaction costs. If a quoted market price is not available, the fair value of the instrument is estimated using pricing models or discounted cash flow techniques.

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

   3.2      Investment properties 

Investment properties are stated at fair value. Gains and losses arising from a change in fair value of investment properties are recognized in the income statement. The fair value is determined half yearly and at the end of each reporting period, by a registered profesional valuer.

3.3 Share - based payments

The Group issues share options to certain employees in terms of the Employee Share Option Scheme. Share options are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the date of grant of the options is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest. Fair value is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and other behavioural considerations.

3.4 Property and equipment

International Accounting Standard 16 (IAS 16) stipulates that the residual value and the useful life of an asset must be reviewed at least each financial year-end. If the residual value of an asset increases by an amount equal to or greater than the asset's 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.

   8.            IMPAIRMENT LOSSES ON LOANS AND ADVANCES 

Impairment losses are applied to write off advances in part or in whole when they are considered partly or wholly irrecoverable. The aggregate impairment losses which are made during the year are dealt with as per paragraph 8.3.

   8.1   Specific provisions 

Specific provisions are made where the repayment of identified advances is in doubt and reflect estimates of the loss. Advances are written off against specific provisions once the probability of recovering any significant amounts becomes remote.

   8.2    Portfolio provisions 

The portfolio provision relates to the inherent risk of losses which, although not separately identified, is known to be present in any loan portfolio.

8.3 Regulatory Guidelines and International Financial Reporting Standards Requirements

The Banking Regulations 2000 gives guidance on provisioning for doubtful debts and stipulates certain minimum percentages to be applied to the respective categories of the loan book.

International Accounting Standard 39, Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39), prescribes the provisioning for impairment losses based on the actual loan losses incurred in the past applied to the sectoral analysis of book debts and the discounting of expected cash flows on specific problem accounts.

The two prescriptions are likely to give different results. The Group has taken the view that where the IAS 39 charge is less than the amount provided for in the Banking Regulations, the difference is recognized directly in equity as a transfer from retained earnings to a regulatory reserve and where it is more, the full amount will be charged to the profit or loss.

   8.4    Non-performing loans 

Interest on loans and advances is accrued to income until such time as reasonable doubt exists about its collectability, thereafter and until all or part of the loan is written off, interest continues to accrue on customers' accounts, but is not included in income. Such suspended interest is deducted from loans and advances in the statement of financial position. This policy meets the requirements of the Banking Regulations 2000 issued by the RBZ.

   9.      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 dilute potential ordinary shares; (c) any other changes in income or expense that would result from the conversion of the dilutive potential ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

Headline earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of NMBZ Holdings Limited (excluding separately identifiable re-measurements, relating to any change in the carrying amount of an asset or liability, net of related tax (both current and deferred), other than re-measurements specifically included in headline earnings) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

The Group is in possession of land with a fair value of US$2 225 300 at year end. During the last quarter of 2012 management decided to sell the property and have identified interested buyers. The disposal process is expected to be completed in May 2013. The disposal will improve the Group's cash flows. The fair value adjustment on recognition as a non-current asset held for sale is included under non-interest income (note 5).

NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 31 December 2012

   21.   EVENTS AFTER REPORTING DATE 

21.1 Memorandum of understanding

On 31 January 2013, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe and participating members of the Bankers Association of Zimbabwe (BAZ) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which seeks to establish an understanding on:

   1.   Bank charges on accounts whose monthly deposits are less than US$800. 
   2.   Interest rates on lending to a maximum of the Bank's weighted average cost of funds plus a 

margin of 12.5%.

These measures took effect from 1 February 2013 and going forward these would have a pronounced effect on the Bank's profitability.

21.2 Recapitalisation

The shareholders of NMBZ Holdings Limited approved at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 19 February 2013 an investment of US$14.8 million equity capital by three (3) strategic foreign investors. In addition, one of the strategic foreign investors will provide a 7 year subordinated debt of US$1.4 million to the Bank. The US$14.8 million equity to be raised subsequent to year end will be invested as equity capital in the Bank by the holding company.

NMB BANK LIMITED

   4.     RISK MANAGEMENT 

In the ordinary course of business the Bank manages risks of all forms. The risks are identified and monitored

through various channels and mechanisms.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework. The Board has established the Board Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) and Board Risk Committee, which are responsible for defining the Bank's risk universe, developing policies and monitoring implementation. The Bank has a Risk Management department, which reports to the Managing Director and is responsible for the management of the Bank's overall risk universe. The Bank is working towards full implementation of Basel II requirements as set by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.

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

a) Strategic Level: This involves risk management functions performed by senior management and the board of directors. It includes the definition of risk, ascertaining the Bank'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.

b) Macro Level: It encompasses risk management within a business area or across business lines. These risk management functions are performed by middle management.

c) 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 organization such as Treasury Front Office, Corporate Banking, Retail banking e.t.c. 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)   adequate board and senior management oversight; 
   b)   adequate strategy, policies, procedures and limits; 
   c)   adequate risk identification, measurement, monitoring and information systems; and 
   d)   comprehensive internal controls and independent reviews. 

4.1 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a financial contract will not be honoured according to the original set of terms. The risk arises when borrowers or counterparties to a financial instrument fail to meet their contractual obligations. The Board has put in place sanctioning committees with specific credit approval limits. The Credit Risk Management department does the initial review of all applications before passing them on to the Executive Credit Committee and finally Board Credit Committee depending on the loan amount. The Bank has in place a Board Loans Review Committee responsible for reviewing the quality of the loan book.

The Credit Risk Management department is responsible for implementing the Bank's credit risk policies and standards and this includes:

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

-- Establishing the authorization structure for the approval and renewal of credit facilities. Facilities require authorization by the Risk Management Committee, Executive Committee or the Board Credit Committee depending on amount as per set limits;

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

   --   Limiting concentrations of exposure to counter parties and industry for loans and advances; 

-- Maintaining and monitoring the risk grading as per the RBZ requirement in order to categorize exposures according to the degree of risk of financial loss faced and to focus management on the attendant risks.

-- Reviewing compliance of business units with agreed exposure limits, including those for selected industries; and

-- Providing advice, guidance and specialist skills to business units to promote best practice throughout the Bank in the management of credit risk.

   4.2   Market risk 

This is the exposure of the Bank'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 Bank has in place a Management Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) which monitors market risk and recommends the appropriate levels to which the Bank 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 Bank'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 are also contained within 10% of the bank's capital position.

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.

   4.3   Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk of financial loss arising from the inability of the Bank to fund asset increases or meet obligations as they fall due without incurring unacceptable costs or losses. The Bank identifies this risk through maturity profiling of assets and liabilities and assessment of expected cashflows 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 Bank also actively monitors its loans to deposit ratio against a set threshold in a bid to monitor and limit funding risk. Liquidity risk is monitored through a daily Treasury strategy meeting. This is augmented by a monthly management ALCO and a quarterly board ALCO.

   4.4   Operations 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 Bank utilises monthly Key Risk Indicators to monitor operational risk in all units. Further to this, the Bank has an elaborate Operational Loss reporting system in which all incidents with a material impact on the well-being of the Bank are reported to risk management. The risk department conducts periodic risk assessments on all the units within the Bank aimed at identifying the top risks and ways to minimise their impact. There is a Board Risk Committee whose function is to ensure that this risk is minimized. 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.

   4.5   Legal and compliance risk 

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

   4. 6   Compliance risk 

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 Bank has an independent compliance function which is responsible for identifying and monitoring all compliance issues and ensures the Bank complies with all regulatory and statutory requirements.

   4.7   Reputation 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 Bank conducts its business. To manage this risk, the Bank strictly monitors customers' complaints, continuously train staff at all levels, conducts market surveys and periodic reviews of business practices through its internal audit department.

4.8 Strategic risk

This refers to current and prospective impact on a Bank'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 Bank 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. Further, there is an ALCO, Finance and Strategy Committee at board level responsible for monitoring overall progress towards attaining strategic objectives for the Bank.

The directors are satisfied with the risk management processes in the Bank as these have contributed to the minimization of losses arising from risky exposures.

4.9 External credit ratings

The external credit ratings were by Global Credit Rating (GCR), a credit rating agency accredited with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.

   Security class                                                      2012

   5.     REGULATORY COMPLIANCE 

There were no instances of regulatory non-compliance in the period under review. The Group remains committed to complying with and adhering to all regulatory requirements.

   6.   CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 

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 Bank 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 2011 was as follows:

   7.      SEGMENT INFORMATION 

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

Retail Banking - Individual customers deposits and consumer loans, overdrafts, credit card facilities and funds transfer facilities.

            Corporate Banking      -    Loans and other credit facilities and deposit and current accounts for corporate and 

institutional customers.

Treasury - Money market investment, securities trading, accepting and discounting

of           instruments and foreign currency trading. 
            International Banking -      Handles the Bank's foreign currency denominated banking business and 
manages                                                  relationships with correspondent banks 

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss which in certain respects is measured differently from operating profit or loss in the financial statements. Income taxes are managed on a bank wide basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

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

Transfer prices between operating segments are on arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with

third parties.

No revenue from transactions with a single external customer or counterparty amounted to 10% or more of

the          Bank's total revenue in 2012 and 2011.
