Audited Financial Results for the year ended 31 December 2012

Chairmans Statement
Dear Shareholder
This report comes to you at a time the Bank has just celebrated its hundred years of existence in Zimbabwe. It is most befitting for me, therefore, to start by thanking you our shareholders and all who have contributed to this success and heritage. We thank our most valuable customers, amongst them some who have been with the Bank for longer than half of the century and colleagues in the Bank who continued to apply themselves diligently to serve them. We appreciate the regulatory authorities that successively shaped the banking industry over the century. Our pledge and commitment is to continue this proud heritage into the next century.

Regulatory compliance
The Bank remained compliant with the Central Bank minimum capital and capital adequacy requirements. In addition, prudential lending practices were adhered to throughout the period. Looking forward, the Bank is well positioned to satisfy the new Basel II requirements. The Bank also met the requirement to submit, by end of September 2012, capitalisation plans to meet the new minimum capital levels with set six-monthly milestone increases to reach US$100 million by 30 June 2014.

Business landscape
Economic performance indicators for 2012 were revised down with the gross domestic product growth initially targeted at 8% expected to be at a modest 5%. On a positive note inflation ended the year with the closing annual inflation at 2.91%, well below the initial projection of 5%. Average interest rates continued on a downward and convergence trend. The use of multi-currencies has continued to sustain relative economic stability. A key challenge going forward is the need to ensure that the sources of foreign currency are preserved and promoted: exports, foreign direct investment, portfolio investments and diaspora funds are the source of liquidity under any dollarized or multicurrency system. Conversely, measures to contain the import bill are required. Fiscal policy reviews during the year indicated a rising balance of payments deficit, and this manifested in constrained economic growth figures, and for the banking sector, slower growth in deposits which also remained largely short term. The Bank continued to adapt to the developments in the market with the thrust being to ensure sustainable growth over the long term. Thus for Barclays Zimbabwe the safety of depositors funds and the ability to provide superior transactional services remained paramount. Our quest remains to help our customers and stakeholders achieve their ambitions in the right way.

Governance
There were no changes to the directorship during the period under review. Over the period your Board comprised three executive directors and five independent non executive directors. I continue to enjoy the support of Board members who value and always seek to uphold the best corporate governance standards and see them permeated across the whole organisation.

Community involvement
Barclays remains committed to the development of local communities focusing on skills transfer to youth and young adults in areas of financial, entrepreneurial and life skills. A new partnership with UNICEF will enable 1 500 youths directly and 25 000 youths indirectly to understand the budgetary process at all levels. The Junior Achievement Zimbabwe program continues to engage young people on entrepreneurship opportunities that are available to them whilst the Grassrootssoccer program touched the lives of more than 5 000 children through life skills initiatives on HIV in Bulawayo. Our traditional Make A Difference Day saw 64 different projects with over 500 colleagues benefiting a number of local communities across the country.

Outlook
Whilst the economic landscape still presents significant uncertainties, we continue to be encouraged by the commitment on the part of authorities to ensure that the business environment continues to improve. The Banks balance sheet will continue to grow and, with it interest income generating capacity. We are also excited about new products we have lined up for our customers into 2013. If macroeconomic fundamentals continue being stable or improve, the business is poised for faster growth going forward.

Capital and liquidity


The total capital adequacy ratio closed the year at 18%, ahead of the regulatory minimum of 12%. This is after the risk weighted assets grew significantly on the back of higher loans and advances. The liquidity ratio closed the year at 58%, ahead of the regulatory minimum of 30%. The Bank also continued to focus on ensuring that deposit concentration risk stayed under control. This is especially considered critical in the prevailing market in which the largest portion of customer liabilities are demand deposits.

Dividend
In view of the regulatory requirement to increase capital going forward, no dividend is proposed for 2012. A. S. Mandiwanza Chairman 28 March, 2013

Lending
The loan portfolio increased by 57% to close the year at US$93 million excluding impairment. The loan loss ratio remained well within 1% reflecting a quality loan book. The portfolio continues to be tested on the basis of alternative provisioning methods to ensure adequacy of the provisions.

Earnings performance
The Bank registered a profit after tax of US$2.1 million and comprehensive income of US$5.8 million for the year. This result translates to a basic earnings per share of 0.10 cents (2011 0.07 cents per share). Net interest income grew by 13.7% whilst non funded income excluding once off custody compensation increased by 10.7%. Operating costs excluding the effects of restructuring costs incurred in 2011 grew by 13.7%. Payback on the restructuring costs incurred in 2010 and 2011 is on track.

Managing Directors Statement


Our vision is to become the Go-To bank. We remain committed to realising this vision through strict adherence to our strategic focus, continuous improvement of the customer experience and relentless execution of business priorities. Our Strategy
Our vision to become the Go-To bank is underpinned by our business values which provide us with the ability to make long term sustainable returns. The business model that we pursue is supported by solid capital, liquidity and funding positions which provide us with the flexibility and confidence to meet the economic and regulatory challenges in the medium to long term. During the year under review, we remained cognisant of our commitment to focus on our customers while playing our part in the development of the economy and remained mindful of the needs of our regulators, shareholders, colleagues as well as the communities in which we operate. Our loan book grew with US$93 million advanced to businesses in various sectors of the economy as well as some retail customers. As compared to prior year, we registered a growth of 57% from US$59 million. Barclays will continue to grow the asset book in a manner that ensures the quality of our book remains high. Our deposits continued to grow steadily from US$213.7m in prior year to US$224.8m in 2012. While the market continued to face uncertainties, we made progress towards growing our customer base, deepening our product offering while maintaining a robust risk management framework. We also continued to focus on initiatives to enhance operational efficiencies.

2012 our centenary year


In 2012 we celebrated a significant milestone as we attained 100 years of doing business in Zimbabwe. I am pleased to report that during the year we celebrated this milestone with all our stakeholders through a number of activities. Of note were the centenary charity fun walks during which we walked 10 km in 10 provinces of the country raising money for charity. A total of 3 000 stakeholders cumulatively walked almost 30 000km. We capped the celebrations by launching new corporate wear which symbolises the beginning of a new journey as we start another 100 years of serving Zimbabwe. In line with our commitment to positively impact the communities that we do business in, we supported 64 projects, dedicating 3 986 man hours and directly impacting 6 761 people through our annual Make a Difference Day.

Looking ahead
We anticipate that the hosting of the UNWTO conference in 2013 will start to signal impetus to the growth of the economy from increased tourist arrivals expected before, during and after the event. We are confident that the growth being witnessed in the mining sector particularly in gold, platinum and diamonds will provide the economy with the much needed liquidity which will in turn allow the banking sector to continue on a growth path. I am confident that the various interventions, such as the establishment of the credit bureau, will go a long way in improving the lending environment. While we determine that certain measures introduced in the banking sector may, in the short to medium term negatively impact our income, I am confident that the strides that we have made in growing our customer base, deepening our product offering and investing in technology and channel enhancements will enable us to continue on our growth trajectory. I extend my appreciation to all the stakeholders who continue to contribute to the success of Barclays. G. T. Guvamatanga Managing Director 28 March 2013

Partnerships with our Customers


We consider our customers as key business partners and as such our actions are shaped by the conversations that we have with them. We launched and enhanced our internet offering which enables our customers to transact on their personal computers, laptops and smart phones. Customer convenience was improved through expanding our ATM footprint, including two new sites in Harare. In line with our commitment of enhancing our customer offering, we also launched a Visa platinum debit card to our Premier Banking customers. We are continuously reviewing our channel offering to leverage on the developments in the Information Communication Technologies sector to ensure an exciting banking experience for our customers. A number of products and channels have been lined up for launch in 2013.

The Banks buildings were revalued on 31 December 2012 by independent valuers. Valuations were made on the basis of recent market transactions on arms length terms and market rental yields. This resulted in the reversal of prior period impairment of US$247,000 and the amount is included in operating expenses. The revaluation surplus net of applicable deferred income taxes was credited to revaluation reserves in equity. If buildings were stated on the historical cost basis, the carrying amount would be US$12,716,094 (2011: US$17,616,935). The amount of US$12,716,094 is after transferring a value of US$4,596,600 to investment property. These properties were reclassified as they no longer met the recognition criteria for property and equipment. The equipment impairment charge of US$25,892 was as a result of internal evaluation of obsolescence of equipment. No items of property and equipment were pledged as at 31 December 2012.

The Bank provides custody and trustee services to third parties, which involve the Bank making allocation, purchase and sale transactions based on client instructions and the holding assets (mainly share certificates on behalf of customers). The income from the custody business is expected to decline significantly in future as a result of decline in the custody portfolio.

The unissued share capital is under the control of the directors subject to the restrictions imposed by the Zimbabwe Companies Act (Chapter 24:03), Zimbabwe Stock Exchange listing requirements and the Articles and Memorandum of Association of the Bank.

23. Segment analysis
Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Executive Committee (the Chief operating decision-maker), which is responsible for allocating resources to the reportable segments and assesses its performance. All operating segments used by the Bank meet the definition of a reportable segment under IFRS 8 (Operating segments). The Executive Committee assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of profit or loss. This measurement basis excludes the effects of non-recurring expenditure from the operating segments such as restructuring costs and legal expenses. The measure also excludes the effects of equity-settled share-based payments and unrealised gains or losses on financial instruments. The Bank has three main business segments Retail banking incorporating direct debit facilities, private customer current accounts, savings, deposits, investment savings products, custody, credit and debit cards, consumer loans; Corporate banking incorporating direct debit facilities, current accounts, deposits, overdrafts, loan and other credit facilities and foreign currency products. Treasury - incorporating financial instruments and foreign currency trading. Treasury also includes the management of the overall bank operating asset balances and balance sheet structure. Revenue allocated to the segments is from external customers who are domiciled in Zimbabwe. There were no trading revenues from transactions with a single external customer that amounted to 10% or more of the Banks revenues. Costs incurred by support functions are allocated to the three main business segments on the basis of determined cost drivers.

24.1(b) Loans and advances neither past due nor impaired


Loans and advances neither past due nor impaired and which are not part of renegotiated loans are considered to be investment grade. Past due loans and advances are those whose repayments (capital and interests) are outstanding for more than 30 days. Such loans are either impaired or renegotiated (Note 24.1d & 24.1f).

24.1 (c) Loans and advances past due but not impaired
Late processing and other administrative delays on the side of the borrower can lead to a financial asset being past due but not impaired. Loans and advances less than 90 days past due are not considered impaired, unless other information is available to indicate the contrary.

24. Financial risk management


The Banks business involves taking on risks in a targeted manner and managing them professionally. The core functions of the Banks risk management are to identify all key risks for the Bank, measure these risks, manage the risk positions and determine capital allocations. The Bank regularly reviews its risk management policies and systems to reflect changes in markets, products and best market practice. The Banks aim is to achieve an appropriate balance between risk and return and minimise potential adverse effects on the Banks financial performance. The Bank defines risk as the possibility of losses or profits foregone, which may be caused by internal or external factors. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Internal audit is responsible for the independent review of risk management and the control environment. The risks arising from financial instruments to which the Bank is exposed are financial risks which include credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and operational risk. Also discussed below are strategic, legal, and reputational risk elements and detailed policies on risk mitigation.

24.1(e) Non-performing loans and advances


These are loans and overdrafts on which interest is no longer accrued or included in income unless the customer pays back. These non-performing (past due) assets include balances where the principal amount and / or interest is due and unpaid for 90 days or more.

24.1(f ) Loans and advances renegotiated


During the year ended 31 December 2012, the Bank did not renegotiate any loans and advances to customers and banks.

24.1 Credit risk


Credit risk is the risk that the Banks customers, clients or counterparties default on their loan or credit commitments. Default occurs when counterparties are not able or willing to pay interest, repay capital or otherwise fulfil their contractual obligations under loan agreements or other credit facilities.

Risk limit and mitigation policies


The Bank uses a range of policies and practices to mitigate credit risk. The most traditional of these is taking of security for funds advanced and credit scoring all customer borrowing applications and only lending to those which meet the preset criteria. The Bank monitors cash flows and utilisation against limits to identify customers under stress and takes corrective action in consultation with the customer. The Bank has Credit Risk and Loans Review Committees, chaired by non-executive directors to monitor the risks. In measuring credit risk of loans and advances the Bank reflects three components: i) the probability of default by the client or counterparty on its contractual obligations; ii) current exposures to the counterparty and its likely future development; and iii) the likely recovery ratio on the defaulted obligations Principal collateral types used for loans and advances are: Mortgages over residential and commercial properties; and Charges over business assets such as premises, inventory and accounts receivable, moveable assets and shares. Legal department is responsible for conducting sufficient legal review to confirm that the approved collateral is legally effective. Ratio of value of loan to value of security is assessed on grant date and continuously monitored. Each customer based on their probability of default are graded into one of the internal grades, reflecting their credit quality.

Impairment and provisioning policies (EWL)


The Bank maintains an Early Warning List, (EWL) for those customers who are believed to be facing difficulties. Customers are categorised into EWL 1-3. Those in EWL1 have temporary problems and the risk of default is low. EWL2 implies there are doubts that the customer will pay but the risk of default is medium. EWL3 implies that there are doubts that the customer will pay and the risk of default is high. Internal policies allow for the calculation of identified and unidentified impairment (on homogenous portfolios). Unidentified impairment is also calculated on each portfolio level. The Bank has a monitoring mechanism in place which grades its assets into various categories as prescribed by the regulator in the banking regulations. An impairment allowance is then raised in compliance with the banking regulations and International Financial Reporting Standards. The following tables below analyse credit risk exposure to loans and advances in detail.

Impairment allowances are determined in terms of the requirements of IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Impairment allowances in excess of this, as required by the banking regulations, are accounted for as a transfer from distributable reserves to general reserves. Assets are written off when it is considered that recovery is no longer possible or when the cost to recover exceeds the amount to be recovered.

The Bank secures its loans and advances with liens over residential or commercial property, stock or other financial securities but is generally not permitted to sell or re-pledge the security in the absence of default by the owner of the collateral. The Bank has an internal rating scale which is mapped onto the Basel II grading system. Balances in neither past due nor impaired category are investment grade, those in past due but not impaired category are standard monitoring grade and individually impaired are default grade.

The Bank takes on exposure to market risks, which is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risks arise from open positions in interest rate, currency and equity products, all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements and changes in the level of volatility of market rates or prices such as interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. The Bank separates exposures to market risk into either trading or banking book. The Bank does not have a trading book. All the market risk is arising from the banking book which includes the retail and wholesale banking assets.

24.3(a) Market risk measurement techniques


The Bank applies a value at risk (VaR) methodology to its banking portfolios to estimate the market risk of positions held and the maximum losses expected, based upon a number of assumptions for various changes in market conditions. The measurement techniques used to measure and control market risk include:

(i) Daily Value at Risk (DVaR)


Value at Risk (VaR) is a statistically based estimate of the potential loss on the current portfolio from adverse market movements. It expresses the maximum amount the Bank might lose but only to a certain level of confidence. There is therefore a statistical probability that actual loss could be greater than the VaR estimate. The VaR model makes assumptions on the pattern of market movements based on historical holding periods. The use of this approach does not prevent losses outside of these limits. In the event of more significant market movements, DVaR is an estimate of the potential loss which might arise from unfavourable market movements, if the current positions were held unchanged for one business day, measured to a confidence of 99%. Daily losses exceeding the DVaR figure are likely to occur, on average twice in every 100 business days.

24.2 Liquidity risk


Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank may fail to meet its payment obligations when they fall due and to replace funds when they are withdrawn, the consequences of which may be the failure to meet the obligations to repay deposits and fulfil commitments to lend.

24.2(a) Liquidity risk management process


The Bank identifies this risk through periodic liquidity gap analysis and the maturity profile of assets and liabilities. Where major gaps appear, action is taken in advance to close or minimise the gaps. The Banks Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO) monitors and manages liquidity risk. The Banks liquidity management process as carried out by the ALCO and Treasury units includes: Day to day funding and monitoring of future cash flows to ensure that funding requirements are met; Maintaining a high balance of cash that can easily be liquidated as protection against unforeseen funding gaps; Monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and regulatory benchmarks; Limits are set across the business to control liquidity risk; Early warning indicators are set to identify the emergence of increased liquidity risk Sources of liquidity are regularly reviewed by ALCO to maintain a wide diversity of source of funding.

(ii) Stress tests


Interest rate stress risk is the potential loss if there is a large interest rate movement (expected once in every five years). Stress tests provide an indication of losses that could arise in extreme positions. Foreign exchange stress risk is the potential loss against the Bank if there is a large foreign exchange movement (expected once in every five years).

(iii) Annual Earnings at Risk (AEaR)


AEaR measures the sensitivity of annual earnings to shocks in the market rates at the 99th percentile for change over a one year period. This shock is consistent with the standardised interest rate shock recommended by Basel II framework for assessing banking book interest rate risk.

(iv) Economic capital


Economic capital methodologies are used to calculate risk sensitive capital allocations for businesses incurring market risk. Consequently the businesses incur capital charges related to their market risk. The table below summarises the DVaR statistics for Bank. The assumed interest volatility for the DVaR is the daily volatility of 5% and 10% for long dated and short dated instruments observed over a period of one year.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the Bank will be adversely affected by changes in the level or volatility of market interest rates. The Bank is exposed to various risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial position and cash flows. The responsibility of managing interest rate risk lies with the Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO). On a day to day basis, risks are managed through a number of management committees. Through this process, the Bank monitors compliance within the overall risk policy framework and ensures that the framework is kept up to date. Risk management information is provided on a regular basis to the Risk and Control Committee and the Board.

for the year ended 31 December 2012 (continued)
24.5 Foreign exchange risk
This is a risk that the value of a financial liability or asset denominated in foreign currency will fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rate. The Bank takes on exposures to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates in the financial position and cash flows. Foreign exchange risk is managed through use of Daily Value at Risk techniques and Stress tests. In addition mismatches on foreign exchange assets and liabilities are minimised through the daily monitoring of the net foreign exchange exposure by treasury.The table below summarises the Banks financial instruments at carrying amounts, categorised by currency.

Operational risk
This is the risk of losses arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and or systems or from external events. Practices to minimise operational risk are embedded across all transaction cycles. Risk workshops are held for the purpose of identifying major risks in the operating environment and methods of mitigating the risks. The Bank employs the standardised approach to determine capital required to cover operational risk. Each function carries out a risk and control assessment of their processes on a regular basis. The assessment results are reviewed by Operational Risk Management department. Barclays Internal Audit examines selected functions at given times.

25. Capital management


The Banks objectives when managing capital, which is a broader concept than the equity on the face of the balance sheet are: to comply with the capital requirements set by the banking regulators; to safeguard the Banks ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits to customers and other stakeholders and; to maintain a strong capital base to support the development of its business. Capital adequacy and the use of regulatory capital are monitored daily by the Banks management and the Directors, employing techniques based on guidelines developed by the Basel Committee as implemented by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe for supervisory purposes. The Banks regulatory capital is managed by management and comprises three tiers Tier 1 Capital: comprises accumulated profits, share options reserve and approved currency translation reserve. Tier 2 Capital: comprises collective impairment allowance and revaluation reserves and currency translation reserve. Tier 3 Capital: comprises operational and market risk capital. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe requires each bank to maintain a core capital adequacy ratio of 8% and total capital adequacy ratio of 12%. The table below summarises the composition of regulatory capital and the ratios of the Bank. The Bank is required to have minimum capital of US$50 million by 30 June 2013 and US$100 million by 30 June 2014. A capitalisation plan was submitted to the Reserve Bank in terms of which the Bank seeks to meet the future minimum capital requirements. The table below summarises the composition of regulatory capital and the ratios of the Bank

Interpretation of risk matrix Level of inherent risk


Low - reflects lower than average probability of an adverse impact on a banking institutions capital and earnings. Losses in a functional area with low inherent risk would have little negative impact on the banking institutions 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. Institutions 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 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 banks 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 to 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 banks overall condition.

Following the 2012 on site examination by the Central Bank, US$3,4 million in currency translation reserve was confirmed as Tier 1 capital, as a result the 31 December 2011 figures have not been restated. Credit risk capital is subject to internal ratings based approach which uses guidelines provided by the regulator. On this approach the banking book exposures are categorised into broad classes of assets with different underlying risk characteristics. Risk components are transformed into risk weighted assets using predetermined exposure and loss probability factors. Capital requirements for credit risk are derived from the risk weighted assets. Market risk capital is assessed using internal models approach that considers the risk characteristics of the different trading book assets. Risk components are transformed into risk weighted assets and, therefore, capital requirements, based on predetermined exposure and loss probability factors. Operational risk capital is assessed using the standardised approach. This approach is tied to average gross income over three years per regulated business lines as indicator of scale of operations. Total capital charge for operational risk equals the sum of charges per business lines. Total capital for the Bank is assessed to be sufficient to support current business and planned capital projects. Growth in advances will continue to be pursued cautiously and in such a way as to achieve economic asset yields. The Bank is working on the recapitalisation requirements to meet new regulatory minimum capital of US$100 million by 30 June 2014.

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 current information, risk is expected to be stable in the next 12 months.
