Exhibit 99.1
Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc
MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION |
To the Shareholders of Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc:
Management has prepared the information and representations in this interim report. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and, where appropriate, these statements include some amounts that are based on best estimates and judgment. Management has determined such amounts on a reasonable basis in order to ensure that the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects.
The accompanying Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&) also includes information regarding the impact of current transactions, sources of liquidity, capital resources, operating trends, risks and uncertainties. Actual results in the future may differ materially from our present assessment of this information because future events and circumstances may not occur as expected.
The Group maintains adequate systems of internal accounting and administrative controls, within reasonable cost. Such systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance that relevant and reliable financial information are produced.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”). Any system of ICFR, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
At June 30, 2020 management evaluated the effectiveness of the Group’s ICFR and concluded that such ICFR was effective.
The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, is responsible for ensuring that management fulfils its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control. The Audit Committee is composed of three independent directors. This Committee meets periodically with management and the external auditor to review accounting, auditing, internal control and financial reporting matters.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been audited by the Group’s auditor.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2020 were approved by the Board of Directors and signed on its behalf on August 13, 2020.

5 Blanket Zimbabwe Indigenisation Transaction
On February 20, 2012 the Group announced it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) with the Minister of Youth, Development, Indigenisation and Empowerment of the Government of Zimbabwe pursuant to which the Group agreed that indigenous Zimbabweans would acquire an effective 51% ownership interest in the Zimbabwean company owning the Blanket Mine (also referred to herein as “Blanket” or “Blanket Mine” as the context requires) for a paid transactional value of $30.09 million. Pursuant to the above, members of the Group entered into agreements with each indigenous shareholder to transfer 51% of the Group’s ownership interest in Blanket Mine whereby it:
| · | sold a 16% interest to the National Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Fund (“NIEEF”) for $11.74 million; |
| · | sold a 15% interest to Fremiro Investments (Private) Limited (“Fremiro”), which is owned by indigenous Zimbabweans, for $11.01 million; |
| · | sold a 10% interest to Blanket Employee Trust Services (Private) Limited (“BETS”) for the benefit of present and future managers and employees for $7.34 million. The shares in BETS are held by the Blanket Mine Employee Trust (“Employee Trust”) with Blanket Mine’s employees holding participation units in the Employee Trust; and |
| · | donated a 10% ownership interest to the Gwanda Community Share Ownership Trust (“Community Trust”). In addition, Blanket Mine paid a non-refundable donation of $1 million to the Community Trust. |
The Group facilitated the vendor funding of these transactions which is repaid by way of dividends from Blanket Mine. 80% of dividends declared by Blanket Mine are used to repay such loans and the remaining 20% unconditionally accrues to the respective indigenous shareholders. Following a modification to the interest rate on June 23, 2017, outstanding balances on these facilitation loans attract interest at a rate of the lower of a fixed 7.25% per annum payable quarterly or 80% of the Blanket Mine dividend in the quarter. The timing of the repayment of the loans depends on the future financial performance of Blanket Mine and the extent of future dividends declared by Blanket Mine. The facilitation loans relating to the Group were transferred as dividends in specie intra Group and now the loans and most of the interest thereon is payable to the Company.

5 Blanket Zimbabwe Indigenisation Transaction (continued)
Accounting treatment
The directors of Caledonia Holdings Zimbabwe (Private) Limited (“CHZ”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, performed a re-assessment, using the requirements of IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10), and concluded that CHZ should continue to consolidate Blanket Mine after the indigenisation and accordingly the subscription agreements with the indigenous shareholders have been accounted for as a transaction with non-controlling interests and as a share based payment transaction.
The subscription agreements, concluded on February 20, 2012, were accounted for as follows:
| · | Non-controlling interests (“NCI”) were recognised on the portion of shareholding upon which dividends declared by Blanket Mine will accrue unconditionally to equity holders as follows: |
| (a) | 20% of the 16% shareholding of NIEEF; |
| (b) | 20% of the 15% shareholding of Fremiro; and |
| (c) | 100% of the 10% shareholding of the Community Trust. |
| · | This effectively means that NCI was recognised at 16.2% of the net assets of Blanket Mine, until the completion of the transaction with Fremiro whereby the NCI reduced to 13.2% (see below). |
| | |
| · | The remaining 80% of the shareholding of NIEEF and Fremiro is recognised as non-controlling interests to the extent that their attributable share of the net asset value of Blanket Mine exceeds the balance on the facilitation loans including interest. At June 30, 2020 the attributable net asset value did not exceed the balance on the respective loan accounts and thus no additional NCI was recognised. |
| | |
| · | The transaction with BETS is accounted for in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits (profit sharing arrangement) as the ownership of the shares does not ultimately pass to the employees. The employees are entitled to participate in 20% of the dividends accruing to the 10% shareholding in Blanket Mine if they are employed at the date of such distribution. To the extent that 80% of the attributable dividends exceeds the balance on the BETS facilitation loan they will accrue to the employees at the date of such declaration. |
| | |
| · | The Employee Trust and BETS are entities effectively controlled and consolidated by Blanket Mine. Accordingly, the shares held by BETS are effectively treated as treasury shares in Blanket Mine and no NCI is recognised. |
| | |
Fremiro purchase agreement
On November 5, 2018 the Company and Fremiro entered into a sale agreement for Caledonia to purchase Fremiro’s 15% shareholding in Blanket Mine. On January 21, 2020 all substantive conditions to the transaction were satisfied and the Company issued 727,266 shares to Fremiro for the cancellation of their facilitation loan and purchase of Fremiro’s 15% shareholding in Blanket Mine. The transaction was accounted for as a repurchase of a previously vested equity instrument. As a result, the Fremiro share of the NCI of $3,600 was derecognised, shares were issued at fair value, the share based payment reserve was reduced by $2,247 and the Company’s shareholding in Blanket Mine increased to 64% on the effective date.

Advance dividend loans and balances
In anticipation of completion of the underlying subscription agreements, Blanket Mine agreed to advance dividend arrangements with NIEEF and the Community Trust. Advances made to the Community Trust against their right to receive dividends declared by Blanket Mine on their shareholding are as follows:
| · | a $2 million payment on or before September 30, 2012; |
| · | a $1 million payment on or before February 28, 2013; and |
| · | a $1 million payment on or before April 30, 2013. |
These advance payments were debited to a loan account bearing interest at a rate at the lower of a fixed 7.25% per annum, payable quarterly or the Blanket Mine dividend in the quarter to the advanced dividend loan holder. The loan is repayable by way of set-off of future dividends on the Blanket Mine shares owned by the Community Trust. Advances made to NIEEF as an advanced dividend loan before 2013 have been settled through Blanket Mine dividend repayments in 2014. The advance dividend payments were recognised as distributions to shareholders and they are classified as equity instruments. The loans arising are not recognised as loans receivable, because repayment is by way of uncertain future dividends.

Amendments to advanced dividend loan agreements
Advance dividend loan modification - Community Trust
On February 27, 2020, the Group, Blanket Mine and the indigenous shareholders of Blanket Mine reached agreement to change the repayment terms of the advance dividend loan to the Community Trust. The amendment allowed that 20% of the Community Trust share of the Blanket dividend accrue on declaration of the dividend and that the remaining 80% be applied to the advance dividend loan from February 27, 2020. The modification was not considered beneficial to the indigenous shareholders.

7 Other income (continued)
Government grant – Gold sale export incentive
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (“RBZ”) first announced an export credit incentive (“ECI”) on the gold proceeds received for all large-scale gold mine producers during 2016. The ECI is calculated as a percentage of the gold proceeds less the charges of Fidelity Printers and Refiners Limited (“Fidelity”). The below table indicates when the ECI was applicable and the percentages applied, as announced by government:
ECI applicable periods | Percentage |
May 1, 2016 – January 1, 2018 | 3.5% |
January 1, 2018 – February 1, 2018 | 2.5% |
February 1, 2018 – February 20, 2019 | 10% |
March 10, 2020 – June 26, 2020 | 25% |
All incentives granted by the Zimbabwean government were included in other income when determined receivable and receipts were received in Blanket Mine’s RTGS$ account. ECI fell away after June 26, 2020.
Government grant – Gold support price
From March 6, 2019 it became apparent that Blanket Mine’s sales proceeds received from Fidelity were calculated at a gross price of $44,000 per kilogram ($1,368.58 per ounce), which exceeded the prevailing London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) price. On May 12, 2019, the Company received confirmation from Fidelity of this windfall receipt, called the “gold support price”, which has been implemented to incentivise gold producers to increase gold production. No gold support price was received as the LBMA gold price for the last 6 months was over and above $1,368.58 per ounce.

10 Cash-settled share-based payments
The Group has expensed the following cash-settled share-based payment arrangements for the 6 months ended June 30:

| | | | | | | 946 | | | | 370 | |
(a) Restricted Share Units and Performance Units
Certain key management members were granted Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) and Performance Units (”PUs”) pursuant to provisions of the 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan. All RSUs and PUs were granted and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
RSUs vest three years after grant date given that the service condition of the relevant employees have been fulfilled. The value of the vested RSUs is the number of RSUs vested multiplied by the fair market value of the Company’s shares, as specified by the plan, on date of settlement.
PUs have a performance condition based on gold production and a performance period of three years. The number of PUs that vest will be the PUs granted multiplied by the performance multiplier, which will reflect the actual performance in terms of the performance conditions compared to expectations on the date of the award.
RSU holders are entitled to receive dividends over the vesting period. Such dividends will be reinvested in additional RSUs at the then applicable share price calculated at the average Bank of Canada rate immediately preceding the dividend payment. PUs have rights to dividends only after they have vested.
RSUs and PUs allow for settlement of the vesting date value in cash or shares issuable at fair market value or a combination of both at the discretion of the unit holder.
The fair value of the RSUs, at the reporting date, was based on the Black Scholes option valuation model. The fair value of the PUs, at the reporting date, was based on the Black Scholes option valuation model less the fair value of the expected dividends during the vesting period multiplied by the performance multiplier expectation. At the reporting date it was assumed that there is a 93%-100% probability that the performance conditions will be met and therefore a 93%-100% (2019: 93%-100%) average performance multiplier was used in calculating the estimated liability. The liability as at June 30, 2020 amounted to $1,426 (December 31, 2019: $524). Included in the liability as at June 30, 2020 is an amount of $191 (June 30, 2019: $70) that was expensed and classified as production costs; refer note 6. During the year PUs and RSUs to the value of $216 vested and were issued as share capital.

(b) Caledonia Mining South Africa employee incentive scheme
From 2017 Caledonia Mining South Africa Proprietary Limited granted 52,282 awards to certain of its employees that entitle them to a cash pay-out at the Company’s share price on November 30, each year over a 3 year period from the grant date. The cash-settled share-based payment liability was calculated based on the number of awards expected to vest multiplied by the Company’s Black Scholes option valuation fair value of £7.44 at the reporting date and apportioned for the quantity vested over the total vesting period. The liability relating to these cash-settled share-based payment awards amounted to $31 (December 31, 2019: $16) and the expense amounted to $19 (June 30, 2019: $26) for the 6 months ended June 30, 2020. The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of the cash-settled share-based payment liability for the 6 months ended June 30, 2020.

11 Net foreign exchange gain
On October 1, 2018 the RBZ issued a directive to Zimbabwean banks to separate foreign currency from RTGS$ in the accounts held by their clients and pegged the RTGS$ at 1:1 to the US Dollar. On February 20, 2019 the RBZ issued a further monetary policy statement, which allowed inter-bank trading between RTGS$ and foreign currency. The interbank rate was introduced at 2.5 RTGS$ to 1 US Dollar and traded at 57.3582 RTGS$ to 1 US Dollar as at June 30, 2020 (December 2019: 16.77 RTG$). On June 24, 2019 the Government issued S.I. 142 which stated, “Zimbabwe dollar (RTGS$) to be the sole currency for legal tender purposes for any transactions in Zimbabwe”. Throughout these announcements and to the date of issue of these financial statements the US dollar has remained the primary currency in which the Group’s Zimbabwean entities operate and the functional currency of these entities.
Previously there was uncertainty as to what currency would be used to settle amounts owed to the Zimbabwe Government. The announcement of S.I. 142 clarified the Zimbabwean Government’s intentions that these liabilities were always denominated in RTGS$ and that RTGS$ would be the currency in which they would be settled. The devaluation of the deferred tax and electricity liabilities contributed the largest portion of the foreign exchange gain set out below.
The table below illustrates the effect the weakening of the RTGS$ and other non-RTGS$ currencies had, against the US Dollar, on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

In April 2020 the South African subsidiary, Caledonia Mining South Africa Proprietary Limited, purchased a Gold ETF through Standard Bank Limited at a cost of $1,058. The Gold ETF is denominated in South African Rand and the instrument is utilised to invest excess short term Rands on hand at the South Africa subsidiary. The Gold ETF’s value tracks the US spot gold price and was entered into to offset fluctuations in the South African Rand against the US Dollar. The total expense, representing the change in the Rand tracked US spot gold price, amounted to $46 (2019: $Nil) for the 6 months ended June 30, 2020. Foreign currency translation gains, due to the fluctuations in the Rand against the US Dollar on translation of the foreign subsidiary, amounted to $100 (2019:Nil).

Gold Hedge
The Company entered into a hedge in November 2019 at a cost of $379. The hedge was in the form of put options in respect of 4,600 ounces of gold for the period January to June 2020 exercisable at a strike price of $1,400 per ounce. At December 31, 2019 the mark-to-market valuation, that represents the fair value of the hedge amounted to $102 (2018: Nil). The hedges were entered into by the Company for economic hedging purposes to ensure sufficient cash availability for Blanket Mine’s capital investment plan, rather than as a speculative investment. The total expense of the derivative contract amounted to $102 (2019: $324) for the 6 months ended June 30, 2020.

17 Operating Segments
The Group's operating segments have been identified based on geographic areas. The strategic business units are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing strategies. For each of the strategic business units, the Group’s CEO reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis. Zimbabwe and South Africa describe the operations of the Group's reportable segments. The Zimbabwe operating segment comprises Caledonia Holdings Zimbabwe (Private) Limited and subsidiaries. The South Africa geographical segment comprises a gold mine, that is on care and maintenance (and now sold), as well as sales made by Caledonia Mining South Africa Proprietary Limited to the Blanket Mine. The holding company (Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc) and Greenstone Management Services Holdings Limited (a UK company) responsible for administrative functions within the group are taken into consideration in the strategic decision-making process of the CEO and are therefore included in the disclosure below. Reconciling amounts do not represent a separate segment. Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit before income tax, as included in the internal management report that are reviewed by the Group's CEO. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries.
