CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION
The country witnessed a leadership transition in November 2017
which ushered in a new political dispensation. This was followed by
various re-engagement efforts with the international community and
there has been a notable increase in interest from foreign
investors raising prospects of an economic turnaround. This said,
the 2017 operating environment was characterised by nostro funding
challenges, cash shortages, job losses, inflationary pressures and
company closures.. Despite the environment, the group recorded a
positive set of results, largely driven by the banking subsidiary's
decision to broaden its target market, migration to digital
channels, stricter credit underwriting standards and concerted
efforts to contain non-performing loans and operating
expenditure.
The key financial highlights of the Group as at 31 December
2017, achieved under an exceedingly challenging operating
environment are as depicted below:
Total assets stood at US$422 564 352 (US$320 984 926 -
2016);
Shareholders' funds and shareholders' liabilities stood at US$65
651 843 (US$55 600 406 - 2016);
Total comprehensive income for the year was US$10 029 136 (US$5
055 196 - 2016);
Basic earnings per share was 2.58 cents per share (1.32 cents -
2016).
GROUP RESULTS
Financial Performance
The profit before taxation was US$13 017 690 (2016 - US$6 208
904) during the period under review and this gave rise to total
comprehensive income of US$10 029 136 (2016 - US$5 055 196). The
Group achieved a basic earnings per share of 2.58 cents (2016 -
1.32 cents).
Operating expenses amounted to US$27 578 347 and these were up
5% from a prior year amount of US$26 176 706 as a net result of
some staff and non-recurring expenditures incurred in the
period.
Impairment losses on loans and advances amounted to US$3 853 149
for the current period from a prior year amount of US$8 059 726 and
the decrease was mainly due to stricter credit underwriting
standards and loan monitoring. The bank embarked on an aggressive
loan collection process and strengthening of our credit systems
over the last 3 years and this saw the progressive reduction of our
NPL ratio to the current single digit figure. Loans and advances
amounting to US$6 712 298 were written off during the year under
review in line with regulatory provisions and recovery efforts will
continue off balance sheet.
Financial position
The Group's total assets increased by 32% from US$320 984 926 as
at 31 December 2016 to US$422 564 352 as at 31 December 2017 mainly
due to a 273% increase in investment securities, an increase of 29%
in cash and cash equivalents and a 34% increase in investment
properties.
Gross loans and advances increased by 3% from US$205 858 392 as
at 31 December 2016 to US$211 005 418 as at 31 December 2017 mainly
due to the underwriting of new quality loans and advances under the
Bank's tight credit sanctioning regime. The Bank's non-performing
loans ratio reduced to 7.98% as at 31 December 2017 from 10.69% as
at 31 December 2016.
Investment securities (Treasury Bills and Bonds) increased by
273% from US$24 744 752 as at 31 December 2016 to US$92 245 425 as
at 31 December 2017 mainly due to some purchases from both the
primary and secondary bond markets.
The deposits increased by 34% from US$260 550 383 as at 31
December 2016 to US$348 955 386 as at 31 December 2017 as a result
of a significant improvement in market liquidity and deposit
mobilization strategies. The Bank's liquidity ratio closed the
period at 46.08% (2016 - 40.06%) and this was above the statutory
requirement of 30%.
Capital
The banking subsidiary's capital adequacy ratio at 31 December
2017 calculated in accordance with the guidelines of the Reserve
Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) was 24.26% (31 December 2016 - 23.32%). The
minimum required by the RBZ is 12%. Our capitalisation level is
adequate to support the underwriting of new business.
The Group's shareholders' funds and shareholders' liabilities
have increased by 18% from US$55 600 406 as at 31 December 2016 to
US$65 651 843 as at 31 December 2017 as a result of the current
year's attributable profit.
The Bank's regulatory capital as at 31 December 2017 was US$61
135 389 and is above the minimum required regulatory capital of
US$25 million.
DIVID
In light of the improved financial performance recorded in the
year under review, the need to utilise retained earnings in the
holding company and limit the utilization of retained earnings in
the banking subsidiary, the Board has proposed a scrip dividend
alternative to the cash dividend of 0.36 cents per share. The scrip
dividend option was arrived at taking into account shareholders'
expectations and value preservation and the need to ensure
sustainable organic growth in view of the banking subsidiary's
regulatory capitalization requirements.
DIRECTORATE
There were no changes to the directorate during the period under
review. The directors of both NMBZ Holdings Limited and NMB Bank
Limited boards remain as follows: Mr Benedict A. Chikwanha (Board
Chairman), Mr Benefit P. Washaya (Chief Executive Officer), Mr
Benson Ndachena (Chief Finance Officer), Mr Charles Chikaura
(Independent Non-Executive Director), Mr Erik Sandersen
(Non-Executive Director), Mr James de la Fargue (Non-Executive
Director), Ms Jean Maguranyanga (Independent Non-Executive
Director), Mr Juluius Tichelaar (Non-Executive Director) and Ms
Sabinah Chitehwe (Independent Non-Executive Director).
CORPORATE SOCIAL INVESTMENTS
The Group made social investments into the country's educational
system, the enhancement of youth enterprenurial skills through
partnerships with other stakeholders, the disadvantaged, vulnerable
groups, supporting environmental protection and conservation
initiatives, the arts and various sporting disciplines during the
twelve months under review. The activities and charities supported
during the year included the Zimbabwe National Paralympic Games,
Tokwe Mukosi flood victims, Enactus BOOST Fellowship programme for
universities, several schools, HIFA, Birdlife Zimbabwe, St Monica
Parish (Chitungwiza), as well as the Salvation Army Annual
Fundraising Pro-AM golf day and many other charitable events.
CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS
In the year under review, the bank's focus was on the promotion
of e-channels in order to increase the customer touch points. The
bank upgraded its core banking system and other electronic channels
aimed at improving the processing capacity of our systems in an
effort to enhance the customer experience and transactional
convenience. The bank also launched a cheaper mobile point of sale
device mPos in line with our drive to promote electronic payments
and these are being rolled out to SMEs and the informal sector. We
are in the process of putting finishing touches to a service centre
in Bindura and the facility will be opened in the first quarter of
2018.
In terms of shareholder developments, FMO (of The Netherlands)
and Norfund (of Norway) who jointly owned 17.98% of NMBZ Holdings
Limited (NMBZ) joined forces with Rabo Development B.V (the holding
company for Rabobank, the second largest bank in the Netherlands)
and pooled their investments in financial services in African
countries to form an investment company called Arise. The company
was formed in 2016 and asset transfers were largely concluded
during the year under review. NMBZ, which now counts Arise as a
shareholder stands to benefit from capacity development support,
access to a network of other African banks that are part of the
partnership as well as equity participation.
OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY
The efforts to broaden the target market have continued to be
accelerated with a nationwide blitz to acquire low cost accounts in
an effort to promote the national financial inclusion agenda. The
Bank also launched the Life and retirement products which are
underwritten by Old Mutual. We will continue to promote our
mortgages and leasing products as we assist our customers to own
homes and for companies to retool. The bank will continue to
leverage on its strong shareholder base to access the best
technology platforms to accelerate our digital strategy and drive
responsible inclusive growth and financial inclusion in
Zimbabwe.
We will continue to drive the roll out of our low cost POS
machines to both the formal and informal sectors. Recent political
changes and a 'Zimbabwe is open for business' approach to the
international community promises a more optimistic picture for the
financial services sector and the country as a whole and NMBZ looks
forward to playing its role in this economic renaissance.
APPRECIATION
My utmost appreciation goes to our clients, shareholders and
regulatory authorities for their unwavering support in the period
under review. I would also like to thank my fellow Board members,
management and staff for their profound commitment, dedication and
passion which have underpinned the achievement of the Group's
notable results.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2017
1. REPORTING ENTITY
The Holding Company is incorporated and domiciled in Zimbabwe
and is an investment holding company. Its registered office address
is 64 Kwame Nkrumah Avenue, Harare. Its principal operating
subsidiary is engaged in commercial and retail banking.
2. ACCOUNTING CONVENTION
Statement of compliance
The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared and
presented on the basis that they reflect the information necessary
to be a fair summary of the annual financial statements from which
they are derived. This includes financial results that agree with
or can be recalculated from the related information in the audited
consolidated financial statements and that contain the information
necessary so as not to be misleading in the circumstances. The
information contained in these consolidated financial results does
not contain all the disclosures required by International Financial
Reporting Standards, the Companies Act (Chapter 24:03) of Zimbabwe
and the Banking Act (Chapter 24:20) of Zimbabwe, which are
disclosed in the full consolidated annual financial statements from
which this set of condensed financial statements were derived. For
a better understanding of the Group`s financial position, its
financial performance and cash flows for the year, these condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated annual financial statements.
The condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by
the Board of Directors on 14 March 2018.
2.1 Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared under the historical cost convention except for quoted and
other investments, investment properties and non-current assets
held for sale which are carried at fair value and land and
buildings which are stated at revalued carrying amount. These
condensed 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 and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are 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. The financial statements of subsidiaries are
included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on
which control commences until date when control ceases. 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. When the Group loses control over a subsidiary,
it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and
any related non-controlling interest 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.
2.3 Comparative financial information
The comparative information covers a period of twelve
months.
2.4 Use of estimates and judgements
In preparation of the Group 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 2017 is included in the following
notes:
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. In addition, the
property market is currently not stable due to liquidity
constraints and hence comparable values are also not readily
available.
2.4.3 Investment properties
Investment property were valued by an independent professional
valuer. In addition, the property market is currently not stable
due to liquidity constraints and hence comparable values are also
not readily available.
2.4.4 Investment securities
The Group has treasury bills and government bonds for which
there is currently no market information to facilitate the
application of fair value principles in determining fair value
disclosures. Directors have made a significant judgment in
determining that the carrying amount approximates fair value.
(refer to note 14.1).
2.4.5 Impairment losses on loan 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.
The impairment loss on loans and advances is disclosed in more
detail under note 8 and note 16.3.
2.4.6 Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets were valued by an independent professional
valuer. All non-current assets held for sale are measured at their
fair values. The determined fair value of non-current assets held
for sale is most sensitive to significant unobservable inputs. In
addition, the property market is currently not stable due to
liquidity constraints and hence comparable values are also not
stable.
2.4.7 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 condensed consolidated financial statements on a going
concern basis is still appropriate.
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The selected principal accounting policies applied in the
preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements
are set out below. 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.
3.1.1 Classification (continued)
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 measured at fair value through profit and loss and
available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value,
except that any instrument that does not have a quoted market price
in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably
measured is stated at cost, less impairment losses.
Held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables are
initially measured at fair value and subsequently 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 measured at fair value. Gains and
losses arising from a change in fair value of investment properties
are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. The fair
value is determined at the end of each reporting period, by a
registered professional 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
The residual value and the useful life of property and equipment
are 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.
3.5 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost.
Subsequently, the assets are measured at cost less accumulated
armotisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
3.6 Taxation
Income tax
Income tax expenses comprise current and deferred tax. It 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
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 Bank 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.
Deferred taxation
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 Group 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.
3.7 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and bank balances, and
short term highly liquid investments with maturities of three
months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents are
measured at amortised cost in the statement of financial
position.
3.8 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be
reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received
or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of
payment and excluding taxes or duty. The specific recognition
criteria described below must also be met before revenue is
recognised.
3.9 Interest income
For all financial instruments measured 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.
3.10 Interest expense
Interest expense arises from deposit taking. The expense is
recognised in profit or loss as it accrues, taking into account the
effective interest cost of the liability.
3.11 Shareholders' funds and shareholders' liabilities
Shareholders' funds and shareholders' liabilities refers to the
investment made by the shareholders to the Group and it consists of
share capital, share premium, share options reserve, retained
earnings, revaluation reserve, redeemable ordinary shares and
subordinated term loans.

8. IMPAIRMENT LOSSES ON LOANS AND ADVANCES
Impairment losses are applied to write off loans and 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 impairment allowance
Specific provisions are made where the repayment of identified
loans and advances is in doubt and reflect estimates of the loss.
Loans and advances are written off against specific provisions once
the probability of recovering any significant amounts becomes
remote.
8.2 Portfolio impairment allowance
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 recognised directly in equity as a transfer from retained
earnings to a regulatory reserve and where it is more, the full
amount will be charged to the profit or loss.
8.4 Suspended interest
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, statutory
instrument, 2005 of 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 dilutive 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.

On 30 June 2013 the Group received US$14 831 145 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 US$4 943 715. This amount, net of share
issue expenses, was used to recapitalise the Bank in order to
contribute towards the minimum capital requirements set by the
Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe of US$100 million by 31 December 2020.
NMBZ Holdings Limited (NMBZ) entered into a share buy-back
agreement with Norfund, FMO and AfricInvest, where these three
strategic investors have a right on their own discretion at any
time after the 5(th) anniversary (30 June 2018) but before the
9(th) 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 9(th) 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 Group received a subordinated term loan amounting
to US$1.4 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 has not had any defaults on the
principal and interest with respect to this subordinated loan
during the year ended 31 December 2017. Furthermore, the Group had
no breaches to the financial covenants with respect to the
subordinated loan as at 31 December 2017.

The Group holds treasury bills and government bonds amounting to
US$92 245 425 with interest rates ranging from 2% to 10%. Liquidity
induced trades have occurred in the secondary market and there is
industry consensus that these trades do not represent free market
activity. In light of the absence of an observable active market
for the treasury bills, the instruments are recorded at amortised
cost. Of the total treasury bills balance, a total of US$35 886 406
has been pledged as security on interbank borrowings.

14.4 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.
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.
-- 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.

*Nostro accounts are foreign domiciled bank accounts operated by
the Bank for the facilitation of
offshore transactions on behalf of clients.
Balances with the Central Bank, other banks and cash are used to
facilitate customer transactions which include payments and cash
withdrawals. During the year the Central Bank through Exchange
Control Operational Guide 8 (ECOGAD8) introduced prioritisation
criteria which have to be followed when making foreign payments on
behalf of customers. After prioritisation, foreign payments are
then made subject to availability of bank balances with foreign
correspondent banks, resulting in possible delay of payment of
telegraphic transfers. However, no delay is expected in the
settlement of local transactions through the Real Time Gross
Settlement (RTGS) system.
Of the cash and cash equivalents balance an amount of US$526 316
was pledged to Proparco as collateral for offshore lines of
credit.

*Assets measured using the revaluation model.
Measurement of fair value
Fair value hierarchy
Immovable properties were revalued as at 31 December 2017 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 5% on rental levels of between US$3 - US$7 per
square metre.
Level 3
The fair value of immovable properties of US$3 386 264 (2016 -
US$3 236 271) 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:

Investment properties comprise commercial and residential
properties that are leased out to third parties and land held for
future development. No properties were encumbered.
Rental income amounting to US$135 900 (2016 - US$142 400) was
received and no operating expenses were incurred on the investment
properties in the current year due to the net leasing arrangement
on the properties.
Included in investment property is a property which was acquired
as part of the foreclosure process with marketability restrictions
measured at US$10 225 000 as at 31 December 2017. The Bank has no
restrictions on the realisability of all the remaining 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 2017 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.

4. 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 Board Risk 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) 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.
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 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) 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 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.
Credit Management
-- Responsible for evaluating & approving credit proposals from the business units.
-- Together with business units, has primary responsibility on
the quality of the loan book.
-- Reviewing credit policy for approval by the Board Credit Committee.
-- Reviewing business unit level credit portfolios to ascertain
changes in the credit quality of individual customers or other
counterparties as well as the overall portfolio and detect unusual
developments.
-- Approve initial customer internal credit grades or recommend
to the Credit Committees for approval.
-- Setting the credit risk appetite parameters.
-- Ensure the Group adheres to limits, mandates and its credit policy.
-- Ensure adherence to facility covenants and conditions of
sanction e.g. annual audits, gearing levels, management
accounts.
-- Manage trends in asset and portfolio composition, quality and
growth and non-performing loans.
-- Manage concentration risk both in terms of single borrowers or group as well as sector concentrations and the review of such limits.
Credit Monitoring and Financial Modelling
-- Independent credit risk management.
-- Independent on-going monitoring of individual credit and portfolios.
-- Triggers remedial actions to protect the interests of the
Group, if appropriate (e.g. in relation to deteriorated
credits).
-- Monitors the on-going development and enhancement of credit
risk management across the Group.
-- Reviews the Internal Credit Rating System.
-- On-going championing of the Basel II methodologies across the Group.
-- Ensures consistency in the rating processes and performs
independent review of credit grades to ensure they conform to the
rating standards.
-- Confirm the appropriateness of the credit risk strategy and
policy or recommends necessary revisions in response to
changes/trends identified.
Credit Administration
-- Prepares and keeps custody of all facility letters.
-- Security registration.
-- Safe custody of security documents.
-- Ensures all conditions of sanction are fulfilled before
allowing drawdown or limit marking.
-- Review of credit files for documentation compliance e.g. call
reports, management accounts.
Recoveries
The recoveries unit is responsible for all collections and
ensures that the Group maximises recoveries from Non-Performing
Loans (NPLs) and loans and advances written off.
4.2 Market risk
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.
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 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.
4.4 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
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.
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. 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.
4.6 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.
4.7 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.

KEY
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.
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 recognized 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 organization.
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.
4.8.2 External Credit Ratings
The external credit ratings were given by Global Credit Rating
(GCR), a credit rating agency accredited with the Reserve Bank of
Zimbabwe.
Security class 2017 2016
Long term BB+ BB+
The current rating expires in August 2018.
4.9 Regulatory Compliance
The Bank was fined by the regulator for eassigning a principal
officer before regulatory appraisal requirements were fully met.
The reassignment has since been regularised with the regulator. The
Bank remains committed to complying with and adhering to all
regulatory requirements
5. 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
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

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
For management purposes, the Bank is organised into four
operating segments based on products and services as follows:
Retail Banking Individual customer's deposits
and consumer 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.
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
2017 and 2016.
The following table presents income and profit and certain asset
and liability information regarding the bank's operating segments
and service units:
