INTRODUCTION

The operating environment continues to be a challenging one; the Group however, continued in the pursuit of its short and medium term goals as evidenced by the accompanying results. The financial results continue to be largely driven by the Bank's continued diversification into the broader market segments, enhanced use of the bank's digital offerings, stricter credit underwriting standards, containment of non-performing loans and fair value gains on investment properties and property and equipment. The Group's financial performance was quite remarkable in spite of the multiplicity of challenges that characterized the operating environment.

The key inflation adjusted financial highlights of the Group as at 31 December 2019 are depicted below:

Shareholders' funds and shareholders' liabilities ZWL707.9 million (2018 - ZWL514.9 million)

Total income ZWL730.8 million (2018 - ZWL611.3 million)

Total comprehensive income ZWL265.8 million (2018 - ZWL94.8 million)

Operating income before impairments and

monetary adjustments ZWL438.6 million (2018 - ZWL249.7 million)

GROUP RESULTS

Hyperinflationary reporting

Following the liberalisation of the exchange rate in February of 2019, there has been a significant deterioration 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 period under review. 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 2019. 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 ZWL154 110 578 (2018 - ZWL145 890 961) during the period under review and this gave rise to total comprehensive income of ZWL256 774 708 (2018 - ZWL94 784 934) after total other comprehensive income of ZWL172 683 678. The Group achieved a basic earnings per share of 21.05 cents (2018 - 24.24 cents).

Operating expenses amounted to ZWL240 539 828 and these were down 17% from a prior year amount of ZWL289 533 595. The decrease in operating expenditure was due to cost containment measures as well as improved efficiencies arising out of digital innovations adopted by the Group.

Impairment losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost amounted to ZWL11 048 567 for the current period from a prior year amount of ZWL24 920 236 and the decrease was mainly due to a strict credit sanctioning regime which saw the underwriting of high creditworthy counterparties by the Banking subsidiary. The bank has continued with its drive to reduce non-performing loans (NPLs) and the ratio stood at 1.37% as at 31 December 2019. This was lower than the 31 December 2018 ratio of 7.43% and below the Bank's target of 5% by 31 December 2019. The decrease in the NPL ratio was largely due to aggressive collections and stricter credit underwriting standards.

Financial position

The Group's total assets decreased by 37% from ZWL3 294 291 270 as at 31 December 2018 to ZWL2 089 311 325 as at 31 December 2019 mainly due to an 85% decrease in investment securities, a decrease of 30% in cash and cash equivalents and a 46% decrease in loans, advances and other assets. These reductions were partly offset by a 77% increase in investment properties and a 207% increase in property and equipment.

Whilst the banking subsidiary continued with its intermediation role and support for the productive sectors as reflected, the reduction by 67% in gross loans and advances from ZWL1 629 493 700 as at 31 December 2018 to ZWL533 110 289 as at 31 December 2019 is reflective of the reduction in the value of monetary assets as a result of the hyperinflationary environment.

Investment securities (Treasury Bills and Bonds) decreased from ZWL728 294 724 as at 31 December 2018 to ZWL107 166 155 as at 31 December 2019 mainly due to some maturities of government stock as well as the effects of loss of value for monetary assets due to hyperinflationary pressures. The bank has set maximum limits for investment securities in order to ensure that most of the funds are channelled towards the productive sectors of the economy.

Total deposits decreased by 56% from ZWL2 701 740 776 restated as at 31 December 2018 to ZWL1 191 079 845 as at 31 December 2019 as a result of the aforementioned effects of the hyperinflationary operating environment.

The Bank's liquidity ratio closed the period at 60.72% (2018 - 41.62%) and this was above the statutory requirement of a minimum of 30%.

Capital

The banking subsidiary's capital adequacy ratio stood at 44.52% (Historical - 39.49%) as at 31 December 2019 (31 December 2018 - Historical - 23.25%). 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 37% from ZWL514 858 707 restated as at 31 December 2018 to ZWL707 853 329 as at 31 December 2019 largely as a result of the current year's total comprehensive income.

The Bank's regulatory capital as at 31 December 2019 was ZWL360 889 480 and is above the minimum required regulatory capital of ZWL25 million. The bank remains confident that its plan to meet the recently announced minimum capital of the ZWL equivalent of USD30 million for a Tier 1 bank by 31 December 2020 is achievable.

FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY

Further to my announcement in the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, we continued 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 USD 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 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.

The Directors, having assessed all these developments, accounted for the change in the Group's functional currency 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.

LEGACY DEBTS

The banking subsidiary owed USD13 840 412 to various providers of lines of credit at 31 December 2019. The Bank registered these foreign debts with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) as required by the regulatory directives. During the period under review, 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 1:16.77 at 31 December 2019. This effectively values the original credit lines at a rate of 1:1 on a netted off basis. Subsequent to year end, the RBZ approved the line of credit balances amounting to USD13 840 412.

DIVID

The Board has resolved not to declare a dividend as the Group is focusing on achieving the recently announced minimum regulatory capital requirement of the ZWL equivalent of USD30 million for a Tier 1 bank by 31 December 2020 for its banking subsidiary.

DIRECTORATE

Mr Erik Sanderson (non-executive director) resigned from both NMBZ Holdings Limited and NMB Bank Limited boards with effect from 24 January 2019. I wish to thank him for his invaluable contributions to the Group during his tenure as a Director and wish him well in his future endeavours. Mr Erik Sanderson was replaced by Ms Christine Glover, who was appointed to the NMBZ Holdings Limited and NMB Bank Limited boards on 26 June 2019 and she brings in a wealth of experience and diversity to the Group attained over an illustrious career spanning over 30 years in the South African financial services sector. I would like to welcome Ms Glover to the boards and wish her a fruitful tenure.

Mr Givemore Taputaira was appointed as an Independent Non-Executive director of NMBZ Holdings Limited and NMB Bank Limited subsequent to year end on 2 January 2020. Mr Taputaira has over 18 years' experience in ICT and business development in 7 different countries within Africa. I would like to welcome Mr Taputaira to the boards and wish him a successful tenure on the boards.

The other directors of both NMBZ Holdings Limited and NMB Bank Limited boards remained 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 and Deputy Board Chairman), Mr James de la Fargue (Non-Executive Director), Ms Jean Maguranyanga (Independent Non-Executive Director), Mr Julius Tichelaar (Non-Executive Director) and Ms Sabinah Chitehwe (Independent Non-Executive Director).

SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING

The Board is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that management executes its mandate in a sustainable manner to ensure the Group attains its short and long-term growth objectives. The Board has been buttressing a culture of responsible business practices by paying more attention to sustainability issues. The Group is fully aware of the important role played by the financial sector in the economy as well as the impact of its initiatives and actions on the communities in which the Group operates. We take this responsibility quite seriously as part of our commitment to the environment and societies in which we operate.

The Group's banking subsidiary is compliant with all regulatory and statutory requirements and continues with its drive to forge partnerships and alliances with various stakeholders to ensure the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To this end, the Bank has played a pivotal role in the financing of the education sector, health, property and construction sectors as well as supporting the SMEs, the youth, the disadvantaged, the vulnerable groups, the arts, sports and support 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 of dams and roads across the nation. Furthermore, the Bank extended funding to local authorities in a bid to ensure the provision of potable water and sanitation to residents. In a bid to clear the national housing backlog, the Bank also continued to advance mortgage facilities for residential accommodation. In line with its initiatives to support business, the Bank advanced mortgage facilities to its Corporate clients and SMEs towards the acquisition of commercial properties.

To demonstrate the priority being given to sustainability issues, the Group has enhanced its disclosures to include a report on sustainability in line with best practices.

CORPORATE SOCIAL INVESTMENTS

During the period under review, the Group channeled its Corporate Social Investments towards education, environment conservation as well as the support of disadvantaged and vulnerable groups. The Group donated food stuffs, blankets and clothes to the Manicaland and Masvingo Provinces following the Cyclone Idai disaster which occurred in March 2019. Donations were also made to KidzCan for treatment of children living with cancer, Emerald Hill School for the Deaf fish farming project and Emerald Hill Children's home.

The Group also invested in the promotion of sports and extra curriculum activities in schools through donations in support of career fairs, Inter Schools Derby and quizzes. We also partnered with Friends of Hwange Trust and Friend of the Environment (FOTE) in raising awareness of the need for environment and wildlife conservation.

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

The bank continued to pursue its strategy of diversifying into the broader market segments, particularly embracing the currently unbanked bottom of the pyramid. Our financial inclusion strategy was anchored on low cost accounts and mPOS deployment. The bank has also continued to play a pivotal role in mortgage financing and supporting corporates through working capital support and retooling through the leasing arm.

During the period under review, the bank launched the TapCard in collaboration with a technical partner. The product has been well received in the market as it has brought convenience to clients conducting low value transactions.

The bank opened the Victoria Falls service centre during the period under review for the convenience of the Bank's Victoria Falls customers and tourists.

The construction of our Head Office along Borrowdale Road was successfully completed and we anticipate to occupy the building before the end of the first half of 2020.

OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY

The operating environment continues to be challenging mainly due to the constantly weakening exchange rate, high month-on-month inflation, incessant power outages, fuel shortages, drought induced food shortages and general low investor confidence in the country. Value preservation will be the Group's key focus area in light of the likely negative impact of inflation and the deteriorating exchange rate.

The bank has embarked on a digitization trajectory marked by the introduction of paperless low-cost account opening. The bank will continue to focus on operational efficiencies and service excellence across all market segments.

APPRECIATION

I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation to all our clients, shareholders, regulatory authorities and all other valued stakeholders for their continued support in this difficult operating environment. To my fellow Board members, management and staff, I extend my sincere gratitude for their hard work, diligence, commitment and resilience which has underpinned the achievement of these commendable results.

DIRECTORS' REPORT EXTRACT

for the year ended 31 December 2019

   1.         RESPONSIBILITY 

The Directors of the Group are mandated by the Companies Act (Chapter 24:03) 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 Act (Chapter 24:03) of Zimbabwe, the Banking Act (Chapter 24:20) of Zimbabwe and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).

   2.         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.

   3.         GOING CONCERN 

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

   4.          STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE 

The condensed 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 Act (Chapter 24:03) of Zimbabwe and the Banking Act (Chapter 24:20) of Zimbabwe. The financial statement show the impact of the first time adoption of IFRS 16 which was adopted by the Group effective 1 January 2019. The detailed impact of this adoption is disclosed in note 3.12 (Changes in accounting policy).

The Directors have been able to achieve full compliance with IFRSs in previous reporting periods up to 31 December 2017. However, the 31 December 2019 and the comparative period financial reporting 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 2.4.6, "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; consequently, the Group could not fully apply the requirements of IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors".

This, in our opinion resulted in non-compliance with IAS 21 and IAS 8 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 27 April 2020.

   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.

   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 Public Accountants and Auditors Board (PAAB) issued a pronouncement on 11 October 2019 indicating the economy had become hyper-inflationary. The Directors have thus prepared the accompanying financial statements using the hyperinflationary statements using the hyper-inflationary accounting basis. The indices are derived from the monthly inflation rates which are issued by the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZIMSTAT). As a result of the change in the Group's functional currency on 22 February 2019, the CPI indices for the prior periods are in respect of the USD functional currency which was prevailing at the time. The indices used are shown below. These condensed consolidated financial statements are reported in Zimbabwean dollars and rounded to the nearest dollar.

The indices have been applied to the historical costs of transactions and balances as follows:

-- All comparative figures as of and for the periods ended 31 December 2017, 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2019 have been restated by applying the change in the index from the date of last re-measurement to 31 December 2019;

-- Income statement transactions have been restated by applying the change in the index from the approximate date of the transactions to 31 December 2019;

-- 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 2019;

-- Property and equipment and accumulated depreciation have been restated by applying the change in the index from the earlier of February 2009 and date of their purchase or re-assessment to 31 December 2019;

-- Equity has been restated by applying the change in index from the date of issue to 31 December 2019;

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 to allow comparability of the results during the transitional phase in applying the Standard.

   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 ended 31 December 2019 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    Valuation of properties 

Significant judgements and estimates have been applied as detailed below for the valuation of Investment Properties and of Land and Buildings held under Property, Plant and Equipment:

Statutory Instrument 142 of 2019 introduced the Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWL) as the sole legal tender effective 24 June 2019. This appears to have been a follow up measure to the Monetary Policy Statement (MPS) of 22 February 2019 which added the RTGS$ to the then basket of currencies. The MPS established an Inter-Bank Foreign Exchange market which continued to function up to the reporting year end date. These events have created complex valuation challenges for the short term.

Valuations rely on historical market evidence for calculation inputs. This includes transaction prices for comparable properties, rents and capitalisation rates. Such market evidence does not exist at present to calculate ZWL values. Therefore, valuers have adopted the approach for the meanwhile of converting USD valuation inputs at the Inter-Bank Foreign Exchange Auction Rate of the day to calculate ZWL property values.

This approach, however, presents a multitude of risks to the users of the valuation reports. These are detailed below:

Overstating the property values

The key inputs for the valuation of non-residential investment property are the rent income and the capitalisation rate. No trends for ZWL rents have yet been established neither is there easily verifiable market evidence of ZWL transactions to enable analysis of the yields. It is unlikely that ZWL rent movements will mirror the activity on the Inter-Bank Foreign Exchange market. In addition, the property market will price the risk associated with the ZWL which is not a fully convertible currency, and this will be reflected through the capitalisation rates.

Therefore, a direct conversion of USD valuation inputs likely results in overstated ZWL property values.

Property sub-sectors will respond differently to the new currency

To use a single conversion rate for different property sub-sectors does not recognise the fact that each will respond differently to the reintroduced ZWL. Non-residential property is likely to lag behind the economic cycle quite considerably. Whereas residential property which is more sentiment driven, is likely to respond positively quicker.

Ignoring market dynamics (supply and demand)

Applying a conversion rate to USD valuation inputs to calculate ZWL property values is not an accurate reflection of market dynamics. Risks associated with currency trading do not reflect the risks associated with property trading. The two markets perceive and price their respective risks quite differently.

It is, therefore, unlikely that property values will strictly track the movement in the Inter-Bank Foreign Exchange Rate.

   2.4.3    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).

   2.4.4    Impairment losses on loans and advances 

The Bank adopted IFRS 9 with effect from 1 January 2018.

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 purchased or originated credit-impaired (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.

The impairment loss on loans and advances is disclosed in more detail under note 8 and note 16.3.

   2.4.5    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 and other market constraints and hence comparable values are also not stable.

   2.4.6    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.

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 22(nd) 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). In light of the developments summarised above, the Directors concluded that the Group's functional currency changed from US$ to ZWL with effect from 22 February 2019.

   2.4.6    Determination of functional currency 

The opening balances at 1 January 2019 are carried at USD/RTGS$1:1 in compliance with Statutory Instrument 33 (SI 33) of 2019. The Group used this fixed exchange rate at 1 January 2019 and thus did not comply with the requirements of International Accounting Standard 21 (IAS21), "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates", as doing so would have been in contravention of SI 33 of 2019. The financial statements were restated using the first available interbank mid-rate on 22 February 2019 of USD/RTGS$1:2.5, giving rise to the Functional Currency Translation Reserve of ZWL11 619 648. The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) do not prescribe clear guidance on the treatment of the movements arising on the translation of foreign currencies on the date of change in functional currency. As such, the Directors had to apply their judgement on the treatment of these translation gains and losses in a manner that most faithfully represents the substance of the event and related transactions.

The Directors had to apply judgement in determining the rates at which the comparative information for the twelve months ended 31 December 2018 would be restated. The currency conversion challenge emanates from the existence of a 3-tier pricing structure during the comparative period depending on mode of settlement and the challenge was compounded by the fact that the official exchange rate between USD and the bond note/electronic balances was pegged at 1:1 and there was no orderly, functional market where foreign currency transactions were being conducted in order to establish credible foreign currency conversion rates. On that basis, the Directors have restated the comparative information at the official rate of USD/RTGS$(ZWL)1:1 as the cost and effort of restating the comparative information using any other rate outweighs the benefits that may arise from the exercise and would contravene the country's laws and regulations.

   2.4.7    Lease arrangements 

The Group adopted IFRS 16, Leases, on 1 January 2019. As permitted by the IFRS 16 transitional provisions, the Group elected not to restate comparative figures. The Directors 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 as the determination of incremental borrowing rates applied in determining the lease liability.

   2.5       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       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 amortisation 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 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 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, 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 refer to the investment made by the shareholders in the Group and it consists of share capital, share premium, share options reserve, retained earnings, revaluation reserve, functional currency translation reserve, redeemable ordinary shares and subordinated term loans.

   3.12       Changes in accounting policy 

On 1 January 2019, the Group adopted IFRS 16, "Leases" as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in January 2016 with a date of transition of 1 January 2019, which resulted in changes in accounting policy and adjustments to the amounts previously recognised in the financial statements.

As permitted by the transitional provisions of IFRS 16, the Group elected not to restate comparative figures. The Group changed its accounting policy for leases where the Group is the lessee.

Prior to the change in accounting policy leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership were not transferred to the Group as lessee were classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The respective leased assets are included in the statement of financial position based on their nature. The Group did not need to make any adjustments to the accounting for assets held as lessor as a result of adopting the new leasing standard. Upon adoption of IFRS 16, Leases, on 1 January 2019, the Group did not restate comparatives for the 2018 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transition provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening statement of financial position on 1 January 2019.

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under the principles of IAS 17, Leases. On date of adoption, these liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate as of 1 January 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 January 2019 was 12.35%.

The Group has also elected not to reassess whether other contracts not previously classified as leases are, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the Group relied on its assessment made by applying IAS 17, Leases, and Interpretation 4, Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

Lease accounting

Measurement of right-of-use assets

The associated right-of-use assets for property leases were measured on a prospective basis. The right-of-use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability at the date of initial adoption, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018.

   3.12    Changes in accounting policy 

Adjustments recognised in the statement of financial position on 1 January 2019

The change in accounting policy affected the following items in the statement of financial position on 1 January 2019:

   --    Right-of-Use assets - Increased by ZWL3 078 687. 
   --    Lease liabilities - Increased by ZWL3 078 687. 
   --    There was no impact on Retained earnings on 1 January 2019. 

The impact of the first time adoption of IFRS 16 on 1 January 2019 is shown below:

                                                  -------------------- 
 

The adoption of IFRS 16 has resulted in changes in the Group's accounting policies for recognition, classification and measurement of lease arrangements in which the Group is a party. 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.

Lessor accounting

The Group did not need to make any adjustments to the accounting for lease contracts in which the Group is the lessor under operating leases as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16.

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) 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.

b) 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).

Initial recognition and measurement

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.

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.

3.13.1 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:

   (i)      Classification and subsequent measurement (continued) 

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 "Other 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 'Other Income'. Interest income from these financial assets is included in "Interest income" using the effective interest rate method.

   (i)      Classification and subsequent measurement (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):

   --    cash and cash equivalents; 
   --    loans and advances to customers; 
   --    investment securities; 
   --    lease receivables; 
   --    facilities approved but not drawn down; 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.

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:

(a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;

(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;

(d) it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

(e) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or

(f) the purchase or origination of a financial asset at a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses.

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 as a provision. 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 as a provision.

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.

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.

3.13.2 Financial Liabilities

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

3.13.3 Financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments

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.

   i)          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.

   (ii)        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 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.

   3.13.4   Critical accounting estimates and judgements 

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 as a provision. 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 as a provision.

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.

   3.13.5   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 time value of money using the Effective Interest Rates (EIR) and time to maturity of the debt instruments. 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 represent scenarios of higher than market average default rates.

3.13.6 Regulatory guidelines and International Financial Reporting Standards requirements in respect of the Bank's activities

Renegotiated loans and advances

Where possible, the Bank 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 Bank seeks to use collateral, where possible, to mitigate its risks 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 Bank's quarterly reporting schedule, however, some collateral, for example, cash or securities relating to margining requirements, is valued daily. To the extent possible, the Bank 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.

Collateral repossessed

The Bank'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 fair value at the repossession date in line with the Bank's policy.

   8.         IMPAIRMENT LOSSES ON LOANS AND ADVANCES 

Impairment losses are calculated by estimating the expected credit losses for all financial assets (including loan commitments and guarantees) measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI (FVOCI). ECLs arising from financial assets measured at armotised cost and at FVOCI are recognized in profit or loss. However, the loss allowance in respect of assets measured at FVOCI shall not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the Statement of Financial Position but will be accumulated in a reserve through OCI. The aggregate impairment losses which are made during the year are dealt with as per paragraph 8.3.

   8.1       Lifetime expected credit losses 

Lifetime ECLs are recognized where the Bank's counterparty to a financial asset has been classified as default as defined in the Bank's accounting and credit policies. Financial assets are written off against lifetime ECL provisions once the probability of recovering any significant amounts becomes remote.

         8.2       Twelve month expected credit losses 

The 12-Month ECL relates to the day 1 impairment provisions on financial assets as well as financial assets which are considered not to have had a significant increase in credit risk as defined in the Bank's accounting and credit policies.

   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.

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments IFRS 9, prescribes the provisioning for impairment losses based on the expected credit losses from the expected cash flows from financial assets held by the bank, including guarantees and loan commitments.

The two prescriptions are likely to give different results. The Group has taken the view that where the IFRS 9 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 2000 issued by the RBZ. 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.

   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 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 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 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. However, there were no defaults on interest payments. There were no breaches to the financial covenants between the Group and the Development Financial Institution at the reporting date of 31 December 2019.

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. As such, in terms of SI 33 of 2019 and 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. Subsequent to year end, 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 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 ZWL145 815 913, ZWL73 709 541 and ZWL20 128 080 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 period under review, 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 2019 at the closing rate of USD/ZWL1:16.77. 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. Subsequent to year end, the RBZ approved the legacy debt in respect of the FMO and Swedfund lines of credit.

   14.5     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.

Measurement of fair value

Fair value hierarchy

Immovable properties were revalued as at 31 December 2019 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 ZWL48 - ZWL112 per square metre.

Level 3

The fair value of immovable properties of ZWL267 815 400 (2018 - ZWL3 461 354) 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:

   23.       EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD 

Subsequent to the Group's reporting period ended 31 December 2019, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 a world pandemic and the Government of Zimbabwe declared COVID-19 a national disaster. The Directors have concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic is a non-adjusting event, as it does not reflect conditions that existed at the reporting date.

The current health emergency caused by the global spread of COVID-19 has significant implications for the Zimbabwean economy and the Group is following the advice and directives of the World Health Organization (WHO) as well as the Government of Zimbabwe in order to provide a safe environment for all of the Group's stakeholders including shareholders, customers and employees. The Government of Zimbabwe implemented a number of measures to mitigate the widespread transmission of the virus, which include the declaration of a 21-day national lockdown effective 30 March 2020 subsequently extended by a further 14 days to 3 May 2020. The national lockdown coupled with the other devastating effects of the novel virus are expected to result in a decline in transactional volumes due to the restrictions in movement, thereby negatively affecting the Bank's fee and commission income. These measures would also have an impact on the cashflows of the Bank's customers who do not fall within the essential services category, albeit to varying extents depending on the underlying business models. This might result in a deterioration of the Bank's credit risk and liquidity risk profile. The Group's foreign exchange risk is also expected to deteriorate on account of the negative economic performance outlook in view of the economic restrictions necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Credit risk

The Bank's significant credit exposures are in the following sectors: services (24%), individuals (24%), agriculture (18%) and distribution (16%), the majority of which are secured by tangible collateral. The Bank has observed that the majority of businesses within the services, agricultural and distribution sectors have been predominately classified as essential services in terms of the national lockdown pronounced by the Government of Zimbabwe in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This would imply that the deterioration of credit risk in terms of the Bank's borrowing clients falling into these categories is not expected to be severe. However, the Bank is closely monitoring the developments and the Group has strengthened its credit risk management practices in response to the operating environment. The majority of the Bank's individual customers are employed by the Government which has continued to pay full salaries to date. Furthermore, the Bank takes comfort in that the majority of its borrowing individual customers are in the mortgages category, which would not be expected to result in significant increases in Expected Credit Loss ("ECL") allowances due to their low Loss Given Default (LGD) factor. The Reserve Bank also issued a directive providing guidance on how Banks are to approach credit provisioning in respect of the COVID-19 crisis. The guidance indicated that Banks will not have to adjust ECL stages for previously performing clients whose credit risk would have increased due to COVID-19. This will also minimize the increase in Bank's ECL due to COVID-19.

Liquidity risk

The Bank manages its liquidity risk through the Asset and Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"), which monitors the Bank's liquidity gap on a daily basis. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank strengthened its liquidity risk management practices to ensure that the increased liquidity risk is well managed and does not deteriorate below internal benchmarks, which surpass the regulatory thresholds. As at the end of Q1 of 2020, the Bank had a stable liquidity position and is well positioned to meet its foreign and long-term obligations as they fall due. Through the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe ("RBZ"), the Government also announced a raft of measures including the relaxation of exchange control regulations to allow the use of foreign currency, classified as free funds in the economy, for improved flexibility and convenience on the part of the transacting public in response to the measures adopted to fight the novel virus. Resultantly, this has increased the flow of foreign currency into the formal channels of the economy and the Bank is set to benefit from this development.

Foreign exchange risk

The Bank's ALCO management committee also monitors the Group's exposure to foreign exchange risk on a daily basis. In response to the increase in foreign exchange rate risk, the Bank has also buttressed its risk management practices in that regard to ensure the Bank is well positioned to handle foreign exchange fluctuations arising from market volatility due to the raging global pandemic.

COVID-19 Impact assessment and mitigation

Whilst the Group is cognizant of the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its revenues and asset quality, the severity and operational impact of the restrictions for the remainder of the year cannot be reasonably estimated at this point in time. The Group, however, continues to monitor the situation closely and will provide further updates when visibility improves and there is greater clarity over the expected financial performance on the Group in 2020; as every listed entity on the ZSE will continue to trade under cautionary for the duration of the lockdown period, including any subsequent extensions, until the lockdown has been formally dispensed with in terms of the enabling legal instrument.

In view of this unprecedented economic and business uncertainty, the Group is firmly focused on protecting its business; mitigating any potential adverse financial impact and ensuring that the Group is well positioned for a recovery trajectory post the pandemic. An extensive range of business continuity measures are in place in order to ensure business continuity. These measures include enhanced safety and sanitation protocols at all our operating Units, as well as making significant adjustments to work practices to ensure social distancing. The measures are summarised below:

-- Encouraging customers to make use of the Bank's digital channels for transacting purposes.

   --           Enabling offsite working for all critical staff. 
   --           Reviewing all discretionary and non-essential expenditures 

-- Suspension of all capital expenditure and limiting it to expenditures that promote the new operating order.

   --           Buttressing the credit, market and liquidity risk management practices. 
   --           Continue to broaden the Bank's market segments. 

The above mentioned measures have been quite effective in managing the Group's key performance indicators and benchmarks in response to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 virus. Prior to the advent of COVID-19, the Bank had embarked on a digitalisation drive to improve the customer experience, enhancement of service delivery and broadening the customer digital touch points. This strategy has proven to be quite pivotal in the current operating environment and will continue underpin the Bank's business model in order to neutralize the reduced transactional activities due to the closure of most businesses except those which were classified as essential.

Having considered all the factors and the mitigation in place, the Directors have made a going concern assessment and believe the Group will continue operating in the foreseeable future.

   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 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) 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.

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.

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.

   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 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.

   4.5       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.

   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.

   4.8       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.

To manage this risk, during the reporting period, the Bank appointed an ESG risk manager within the Risk Department. This function is responsible for ESG policy implementation, coordination, reviews and reporting. The Group commits to responsible financing through abiding to its Exclusion List and continues to enhance its ESG policies, processes and procedures as well as to train staff on sustainability issues. The Group conducts risk reviews to identify and measure sustainability risks and in the process implement relevant and adequate controls around these risks.

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 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.

   4.9.2    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 2019 2018

Long term BB- BBB-

The current rating expires in August 2020.

   4.10     Regulatory Compliance 

There was no regulatory breach resulting in penalties during the period under review. The Bank is committed to comply with and adhere 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 follows:

   6.         SEGMENT INFORMATION 

For management purposes, the Bank is organised into five 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. 
 
            Digital Banking         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 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 2019 and 2018.

The following table presents income and profit and certain asset and liability information regarding the bank's operating segments and service units:
