Chairman's Statement 
The results of Kingdom Meikles Limited (KML) for the year ended 31 December 2008 
are presented during extremely trying times externally and internally for the 
Group in its inaugural year as a merged entity. The business environment in 2008 
was characterised by unprecedented socio-economic and political developments in 
Zimbabwe where most of the Group's subsidiaries are located. The Zimbabwe 
economy was bedevilled by the use of multi-currencies, world-record 
hyper-inflation figures, multiple exchange rates and currency debasing, to 
mention a few. On the other hand, the world economy experienced an astonishing 
global melt-down triggered by the US and UK mortgage and banking crises which 
had a drag on regional economies of South Africa, Malawi and Botswana, where KML 
has subsidiary and associate companies. 
 
 
The financial information is in historical cost and is presented solely to meet 
statutory requirements. Inflation-adjusted figures are not available because of 
the lack of Consumer Price Indices (CPI) information but, in any case, the 
validity of such presentations and what can be drawn from the financials has no 
real meaning. Due to the usage of multi-currencies in our trading, the volatile 
exchange rate experienced in Zimbabwe and the resultant accounting complexities, 
our auditors' opinion on the historical cost financial statements is qualified 
on the basis that this information does not present a true and fair view of the 
financial status of the Group. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of 
Zimbabwe, along with the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange, have provided guidelines to 
all preparers as to the content of the accounting qualification and these have 
been incorporated in the final presentation of the financial statements of the 
Group. With the introduction of FOLIWARS trading (retailing licences to trade in 
foreign currency) combined with other direct export related Group operations, 
the shift during the latter part of the year was towards the US Dollar as a 
functional currency for operations, excluding the Kingdom Financial Holdings 
Limited Group. The Board has taken a view that exchange rates applied to our 
accounts enable fair presentation at the appropriate time and US Dollar 
financial statements have thus been presented as supplementary information for 
the benefit of shareholders. 
 
 
Key features of operations (any reference to amounts is in respect of US Dollar 
figures) 
Operating profit for the Group amounted to US$10,2 million compared with US$20,6 
million for the prior year. Operations were affected by the hostile business 
environment, aggravated in the last quarter by the dispute between significant 
shareholders. 
 
 
 
 
Corporate 
There is dispute over the status of funds amounting to US$22,0 million (the 
funds "earmarked for investment") held with Coolbay Investments (Pty) Ltd 
(Coolbay), US$17, 8 million and Mentor Holdings Limited (Mentor), US$4,2 
million, in South Africa. Neither the Board nor the Group's auditors have been 
able to obtain satisfactory evidence that the funds exist in tangible forms in 
respect of Coolbay. In the circumstances, a full provision has been made for the 
sum of US$17,8 million in respect of the capital and interest. Confirmation has 
been received by the external auditors that the US$4,2 million held by Mentor is 
recoverable in a form other than cash. Satisfactory confirmation of the 
existence of the funds was provided by Coolbay and Mentor in the prior year. The 
US$22,0 million is the subject of current litigation in South Africa for the 
recovery of the full value and the Directors are pursuing all means to minimise 
the risk of permanent loss in value to shareholders. So far as concerns the 
Mentor funds, the litigation claim is on the basis of recoverability of the cash 
on terms that are acceptable to the Directors. 
 
 
The measurement of goodwill, which originates from the merger last year and the 
acquisition of the Cape Grace, has been reviewed at 31 December 2008. At 31 
December 2007 the carrying value was US$131,3 million being the translation from 
Zimbabwe dollars at the exchange rate at 31 December 2007. During 2008 the 
economy became stressed and the view taken at the time of the merger has 
changed. These factors together with the current uncertainty about the future, 
makes it necessary to examine the carrying value of this intangible asset. 
Accordingly, an impairment of US$127,2 million has been made. The remaining 
balance of US$4,1 million is in respect of the Cape Grace Hotel, which was 
impaired from US$9,4 million. 
 
 
KML is now integrated as one entity with broad operating policies, standards, 
structures and systems. Synergistic benefits were obtained in pooled treasury 
services, financial structures and shared technologies and infrastructure. A job 
grading exercise throughout the Group has now been completed. In addition, 
merged facilities with critical mass in the pension fund and private medical aid 
services have been obtained. The Group's balance sheet strength and enhanced 
investor relations profile enabled borrowing facilities with local banks and 
international development financial institutions throughout the year. KML 
successfully re-negotiated a term sheet for the Group's US$34 million resources 
at the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) and capitalised the Zimbabwe financial 
services subsidiaries to the tune of US$22,5 million. Regrettably, the Group has 
not yet made any progress in accessing a further US22,0 million which was lodged 
with Coolbay and Mentor, at significant opportunity cost. 
 
 
Kingdom Financial Holdings Limited 
  *  Operating profit decreased from US$8,2 million in 2007 to US$6,5 million in 
  2008. 
  *  Customer deposits increased by 71% from US$10,2 million in 2007 to US$17,4 
  million in 2008. 
  *  Loans and advances as a percentage of total assets were constant for both years 
  at 8%. 
  *  Non-interest income to total income increased from 10% in 2007 to 60% in 2008. 
  *  Prior to mid November 2008 the Group had achieved organic growth across core 
  businesses. 
  *  For November and December 2008 the Group did not record any meaningful income 
  from its core business. 
  *  The Group met the new Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) capitalisation rules with 
  the transfer of US$22,5 million of KML's funds held with the RBZ. 
  *  Kingdom Bank Limited successfully upgraded its Globus Banking system and 
  introduced POS devices in some major retail outlets in Zimbabwe with encouraging 
  results. 
 
 
 
Meikles Africa Hotels 
  *  Operating profit was US$5,4 million (2007 - US$7,7 million). 
  *  Group occupancy decreased from 43% in 2007 to 41% with the major decrease coming 
  from Victoria Falls Hotel (45% to 38%). 
  *  Victoria Falls Hotel was affected by the global economic slowdown, particularly 
  in the USA and travel warnings to Zimbabwe. 
  *  Meikles Hotel was slightly up (30% to 31%) on prior year and the Cape Grace 
  Hotel slightly down (74% to 70%). 
  *  Presidential and Government elections during the year contributed to Meikles 
  Hotel maintaining prior year occupancies. 
  *  The refashioning programme of all rooms and public areas at the Cape Grace was 
  completed at a cost of US$6 million (R60 million). Occupancy was affected 
  adversely during the programme. 
 
 
 
Tanganda Tea Company Limited 
  *  Operating profit was US$4,2 million compared to US$7,2 million for the prior 
  year. 
  *  Bulk tea production of 5124 tonnes was 23% down on the prior year. Poor rains in 
  November and December 2008 affected production at the beginning of the season. 
  *  Export Sales of bulk tea were 4233 tonnes for 2008 compared with 4162 tonnes for 
  2007. 
  *  Domestic beverage volumes were 1159 tonnes compared to 2363 tonnes last year, 
  largely a result of the change in trading terms between suppliers and retailers, 
  as well as erratic supplies of packaging material. Export sales of 209 tonnes 
  were in line with last year. 
  *  The capital expenditure programme totalling US$1,5m for mechanisation of 
  plucking was completed during the year and this is beginning to improve yields. 
  *  Both the quality and the prices of tea have improved in 2009. 
 
 
 
Retail 
  *  The division recorded an operating loss of US$5,1 million compared with a loss 
  of US$3,9 million for 2007. 
  *  Lack of stock and the inability to source working capital cost-effectively 
  severely constrained cash flows and profitability during the year. 
  *  Terms of trade moved more to consignment stock transactions particularly for 
  Department Stores. 
  *  Security of tenure in key branches was maintained whilst three leases expired 
  and were not renewed. 
  *  Department Stores closed seven marginal Meikles and Clicks branches countrywide 
  and opened a Barbours branch at Borrowdale Village, while two new TM 
  Supermarkets, in Bulawayo and Victoria Falls respectively, will be opened in the 
  second quarter of 2009. 
  *  Due to lack of access to some of the Group's own capital of US$22,0 million, the 
  retail division officially commenced trading in forex on 1 December 2008 with 
  meagre forex resources. 
  *  On 30 December 2008, the flagship and restocked TM Supermarket at Borrowdale 
  Village experienced a fire which destroyed the electrical wiring and parts of 
  the roof of the building. Very little stock was lost but trading ceased from 
  that outlet. Repairs are estimated at about US$500 000 and the branch will be 
  restored within the next couple of months. 
  *  Since the introduction of FOLIWARS licences in October 2008, with effect from 1 
  December 2008 Pick 'n Pay have supported TM Supermarkets with stock. 
  *  TM Supermarkets (Pvt) Ltd was specified by the Minister of State on 16 January 
  2009 following investigations into the affairs of KML. KML has appealed against 
  this specification. 
  *  POS services linking with Kingdom Bank have been installed in major branches. 
  *  The short term emphasis is on stock holding that will turn quickly. 
 
 
Cotton Printers 
  *  Operating profit was US$334 000 compared with a profit of US$1,2 million for the 
  prior year. 
  *  The focus has been on yarn production with the weaving factory non-operational. 
  The future viability of weaving is under review. 
  *  Yarn production did not meet targets because of erratic lint supply and 
  difficulties in meeting seasonal funding requirements. However, the position has 
  improved in the new financial year. 
  *  Facilities of US$1 million are being sought to restore machinery and increase 
  capacity to supply regional markets. 
 
 
 
Board, Shareholder and Litigation issues 
Shareholders will recall that on 22 September 2008, a notice ("the Notice") 
requesting an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) was issued by the "convening 
Shareholders" led by the former Chairman, Mr J. R. T. Moxon, who sought to 
reconstitute the Board of Directors of KML. 
 
 
Prior to the issuance of the Notice, in March 2008 a call and put option 
agreement ("the option agreement") for the sale of the Cape Grace Hotel was 
entered into between KML and Cape Grace Hotel Limited (CGHL), (a wholly owned 
KML subsidiary incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, which in turn wholly 
owns the South African Cape Grace Group of Companies, including the Cape Grace 
Hotel) on the one hand, and Mentor Africa Limited, on the other. In August 2008 
"long form" agreements of this option agreement were prepared. Also, in August 
2008, without the authority of the Board, Mr Moxon signed these "long form" 
agreements. The former Chairman then sought to have his action ratified by the 
Board as he believed it was in the interests of the Group, since he felt that 
there was a breakdown in trust between management and Mentor Africa on the 
transaction. He was also concerned that Mentor Africa might litigate if the 
agreements were not ratified. He believed it was not in the interests of the 
Group to be involved in any litigation as it could potentially lead to financial 
prejudice and a loss of reputation to the Group. The Board did not ratify the 
signing of the "long form" agreements as it was of the view that certain issues 
which included an independent valuation of the Cape Grace Hotel and compliance 
with all regulatory issues, including RBZ exchange control and Zimbabwe Stock 
Exchange (ZSE) requirements, had to be addressed and resolved first before there 
could be ratification. 
 
 
It has subsequently become clear that central to the alleged discord in the 
Notice to Shareholders is the failure by the Board to ratify Mr Moxon's signing 
of the "long form" agreements and the request by management for the repayment of 
the monies deposited with Mentor. Management had requested the repayment of 
these funds in July 2008, as the Group urgently needed the funds to recapitalise 
its businesses, particularly the restocking of its retail operations. Such 
request came after the Group was unable to raise US Dollar finance for 
operations from a private placement with international investors, due to the 
then political and economic uncertainty in Zimbabwe. Such private placement was 
attempted both before and after the 2008 March elections. 
 
 
Following the issuance of the Notice, a Board Meeting was convened at the end of 
September 2008, to discuss the Company's response to the convening shareholders 
notice for the EGM, as Mr Moxon had given the Board no prior notice that the 
Notice was to be issued. At such meeting Mr Moxon was appraised of the 
potentially cataclysmic consequences if he proceeded with the action detailed in 
the Notice and instead, he was urged to negotiate an amicable settlement with 
the parties he was at loggerheads with, principally the Group Chief Executive 
Officer (GCEO) Mr N. M. K. Chanakira. At this meeting a motion was moved for Mr 
Moxon to step down as Chairman and which motion was passed. The Board members 
then nominated me as Acting Chairman until the EGM. At the Board meeting held on 
1 November 2008, my mandate was extended. 
 
 
Following this very public spat, Mr Chanakira saw fit to make a formal report of 
externalisation of funds and exchange control issues concerning Mr Moxon and 
Coolbay Investments (Pty) Ltd. Subsequently a court action was instituted in the 
High Court by African First Renaissance Corporation Ltd against both the 
convening shareholders and KML. After hearing the matter, the High Court ruled 
that the Notice issued by the Convening Shareholders was not done in accordance 
with the law and accordingly was of no force or effect. In the circumstances the 
EGM was not held. The convening shareholders for the EGM have lodged an appeal 
against this ruling which is still to be heard by the Courts. 
 
 
Numerous Board and informal meetings have been held since October 2008 in an 
endeavour to resolve the impasse between the former Chairman and the GCEO and 
their respective shareholder groups. Through time, it became increasingly clear 
that there were material issues surrounding the Group's funds "earmarked for 
investment", which management and the Board were not aware of together with 
issues of detail in respect of the Cape Grace transaction which the Board 
believed were not in the best interests of KML and which came to the Board's 
attention subsequent to the signing of the option agreement. 
 
 
The Board has focused its attention on running the business affairs of KML in 
the best interests of all shareholders as a bank holding company and listed 
entity. 
 
 
KML has been the subject of intensive investigations by the RBZ, Zimbabwe 
Republic Police (ZRP), and enquiries from the Anti-Corruption Commission, 
Ministry of Industry and International Trade and the Ministry of Indigenisation. 
It is appreciated that the longer they drag on the more difficult it will become 
for all shareholders to maintain value and for stakeholder relationships to 
continue with the business confidence that has existed. Efforts continue to try 
and resolve the issues. 
 
 
Audit Opinion on Statutory Financial Statements 
Reference is made above to the auditors' opinion on the statutory financial 
statements because of the current problems in the accounting environment. In 
addition to these, there are specific issues relating to the Group which the 
auditors have been unable to satisfy themselves on as to fair presentation. 
 
 
At the balance sheet date material amounts receivable from related parties and 
the shareholding of the Cape Grace Hotel were the subject of dispute or 
litigation. Provision has been made in respect of the uncertainty of the 
carrying value of any investment purportedly made from funds, that were held by 
Coolbay, but confirmation has been received that the funds held by Mentor are 
recoverable in a form other than cash, this itself being the subject of 
litigation between KML and Mentor. The option agreement for the sale of Cape 
Grace Hotel could also be the subject of litigation. KML has separately 
disclosed the carrying value of the Cape Grace Hotel as a disposal group. 
 
 
The auditors of Cape Grace Investments (Pty) Ltd (CGI), which is associated with 
the Cape Grace Hotel and which ultimately owns the rights to the head lease of 
the Cape Grace, will issue a qualified opinion on CGI as shares representing 26% 
of its issued share capital were allotted to a third party, the Prelude Trust, 
in February 2008, in contravention of the South African Companies Act as the 
consideration price of R13 million has not been paid. This matter is connected 
with the alleged Cape Grace Hotel transaction. 
 
 
Because the satisfactory conclusion of the matters referred to above is 
uncertain, the auditors have not been able to obtain sufficient audit evidence 
to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, they do not express an 
opinion on the financial statements. 
 
 
Way forward 
  *  Although the plans for the future of the Group depend to a major extent on the 
  recovery of foreign funds and the resolution of the current shareholder dispute, 
  operations on the ground will continue in order to enhance the Group's viability 
  and sustainability. 
  *  The financial services Group is adapting to changing markets which include 
  leveraging off foreign currency capacity in both the private and public sectors. 
  *  Our Hotel Group is gearing itself for an upturn in the hospitality industry 
  through product enhancement for its local operations. 
  *  The agriculture division will see improved production from the mechanisation 
  programme and will continue to examine the potential of agricultural projects in 
  the region. 
  *  On the trading front in Zimbabwe, the transitional period of the mix in local 
  currency and US Dollars ceased from 1 February 2009 with full Dollarisation and 
  henceforth, the Group will focus on US Dollar accounting. 
  *  KML's retail division is expected to continue to regain lost ground through 
  revamped business strategies, a new executive team, better terms of credit and 
  improved output from local manufacturers. 
  *  The textiles business will focus on regional yarn supply as demand for its 
  product increases. 
 
 
 
The Group has the backing of an asset base to implement these strategies and to 
continue as a going concern, but all these plans are dependent on a return to a 
normal business environment, which includes a resolution of the previously 
mentioned issues. 
 
 
Conclusion 
The trading environment has stretched the loyalty and resilience of management 
and staff to extreme limits. During the year Michael Wilson and Dave Mills 
retired as Directors. The Board thanks them for their contributions. I thank my 
fellow Directors for their respective valuable contributions and sound advice. I 
wish to pay particular tribute to all management and staff who have performed 
admirably, in spite of the odds which were heavily stacked against them.

  Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
 
 
1.       Accounting policies 
 
 
Accounting policies for the statutory financial statements are consistent with 
those used in the previous year.  In the case of the US Dollar financial 
statements property has been adjusted to market value. 
 
 
2.     Comparatives 
 
 
No comparatives are reflected for the Zimbabwe dollar figures as the 31 December 
2007 figures are now insignificant due to currency revaluations. 
 
 
The US Dollar comparative income statement includes pre-merger results for all 
entities to reflect a more meaningful comparison of operations. 
 
 
3.     IAS 29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies 
 
 
As at the date of this publication, the Consumer Price Indices from August 
2008 have not been published. Therefore IAS 29 restated financial statements 
could not be produced and the audit report will be qualified for this 
non-compliance. 
 
 
4.     IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates 
 
 
All foreign currency denominated transactions carried out during the year were 
translated to the reporting currency (Zimbabwe Dollar) by applying the average 
of the lower of the Old Mutual Implied Rate (OMIR) and the Real Time Gross 
Settlement System Rate (RTGS Rate) in the month in which the transactions 
occurred. From 17 November 2008 until 31 December 2008, the OMIR was no longer 
reflective of fair value as there was no actual trade on the Zimbabwe Stock 
Exchange and therefore the RTGS rate was adopted as the fair rate for 
translation purposes from that date. The average monthly rates varied 
significantly and the closing rate was $35 quadrillion to 1 USD.
