Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the periods ended September 30, 2014 and August 31, 2013
(Presented in South African Rands) (Unaudited)

1     BASIS OF PREPARATION

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the "Interim Results") of Buffalo Coal Corp.
(formerly known as Forbes and Manhattan Coal Corp.) ("BC Corp" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group")
for the period ended September 30, 2014 have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement
criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board ("IASB") and have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies based on the IFRS standards and
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") interpretations and are in compliance with
IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

The Interim Results have not been audited by the Group's external auditors. The Interim Results do not include all the
information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
Group's annual financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2014, which have been prepared in accordance
with IFRS. The Group has adopted the required new or revised accounting standards in the current period, as further set
out in note 2 below, none of which had a material impact on the Group's results.

The preparation of the Interim Results requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect
the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. In
preparing these Interim Results, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting
policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated annual
financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2014, with the exception of changes in estimates that are required
in determining the asset retirement obligation and changes related to the functional and presentation currencies of the
Company, as described in note 4 and 3, respectively.

The Interim Results of the Group for the three and seven months ended September 30, 2014 have been prepared on the
basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Group will continue in operation for
the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
The Company closed the final tranche of funding of US$15,0 million with RCF on July 3, 2014, the majority of which is
being used to finance new capital items. The Company continues incurring operating losses and is dependent upon
reaching profitable levels of operation in the future to support working capital needs. The Company suffered from two
significant incidents during September 2014 which halted production at the Magdalena bituminous mine and Aviemore
anthracite mine, for a period of time. The Company believes that, barring any further unforeseen incidents, the current
steps the Company is and has taken (including the acquisition of new equipment, the restructuring of loss making
contracts, the extension of the Magdalena opencast life of mine and continued discussions with Ikwezi regarding Alleen
No.2) will enable it to operate profitably in the forseeable future. The current uncertainties create significant doubt as to
whether the various steps being taken will be completed as expected and whether or when the Company can attain
profitability and positive cash flow from operations.

If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for the Interim Results of the Group then adjustments would be
necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the statement of
financial position classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.

Effective March 1, 2014, the Company and its subsidiaries changed their financial year-ends from February 28 to
December 31. The next financial year-end will therefore be the ten months ending December 31, 2014.

References to CYQ2 2014 and CYQ1 2014 mean the three and four months ended September 30, 2014 and June 30,
2014, respectively, references to PYQ2 2014 and PYQ1 2014 mean the three months ended August 31, 2014 and May 31,
2013, respectively and references to PY2014 mean the financial year ended February 28, 2014.

References to "R", "Rands" mean South African Rands, "C$" mean Canadian Dollars and to "US$" mean United States
Dollars.

Convenience rate translation

The Company's functional and presentation currency is Rands. The Canadian Dollar amounts provided in the financial
statements represent supplementary information solely for the convenience of the reader. The financial position as of
September 30, 2014 and the financial results for the three and seven months ended September 30, 2014 were
translated into Canadian DolIars using a convenience translation at the rate of C$1:R10.0955, which is the exchange rate
published on Oanda.com as of September 30, 2014. Such presentation is not in accordance with IFRS and should not be
construed as a representation that the Rand amounts shown could be readily converted, realized or settled in Canadian
Dollars at this or at any other rate.

2     NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS

The following standards, amendments and interpretations are issued and effective for the first time for the period
ended September 30, 2014

Amendments to IAS 32 – 'Financial Instruments: Presentation'
The IASB has issued amendments to the application guidance in IAS 32 that clarify some of the requirements for
offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities on the balance sheet. However, the clarified offsetting requirements
for amounts presented in the statement of financial position continue to be different from US GAAP. This amendment
has not had a significant impact on the Group.

IASB issues narrow-scope amendments to IAS 36 – 'Impairment of assets'
These amendments address the disclosure of information about the recoverable amount of impaired assets if that
amount is based on fair value less cost of disposal. This amendment has not had a significant impact on the Group.

Amendments to IAS 39 – 'Financial instruments': Recognition and Measurement
The IASB has issued amendments to IAS 39 in June 2013 to clarify that novation of a hedging derivative to a clearing
counterparty as a consequence of laws or regulations or the introduction of laws or regulations does not terminate
hedge accounting. This amendment has not had a significant impact on the Group.

Amendments to IFRS 10, 'Consolidated financial statements', IFRS 12, 'Disclosures of interest in other entities' and IAS
27, 'Separate financial statements' for investment entities
The amendments mean that many funds and similar entities will be exempt from consolidating most of their
subsidiaries. Instead they will measure them at fair value through profit or loss. The amendments give an exception to
entities that meet an 'investment entity' definition and which display particular characteristics. Changes have also been
made in IFRS 12 to introduce disclosures that an investment entity needs to make. This amendment has had no impact
on the Group.

3     CHANGE IN FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY

Functional currency

Due to the closure of the Toronto, Canada office during PY2014 and the transfer of all functions to the Johannesburg,
South Africa office, management has concluded that the most appropriate functional currency of the parent company,
BC Corp, is Rands. Previously, the functional currency of BC Corp was Canadian Dollars. The functional currency of the
subsidiaries continues to be Rands. This change has been accounted for prospectively from March 1, 2014.

All assets, liabilities and equity were translated into Rands at the exchange rate on March 1, 2014. As a result, the
cumulative currency translation differences which had arisen up to the date of change of functional currency were
reallocated to other components within equity.

Presentation currency

Subsequent to the Group restructuring, BC Corp is effectively managed in South Africa, the majority of the transactions
are conducted in Rands by its major subsidiary, and monthly reporting to management and the Board of Directors is
reflected in Rands. Effective March 1, 2014, the presentation currency of the Group was changed from Canadian Dollars
to Rands.

The change in presentation currency represents a voluntary change in accounting policy, which has been applied
retrospectively.

Comparative information, for PY2014 and 2013 were translated from Canadian Dollars to Rands using the procedures
outlined below:

-     assets and liabilities were translated into Rands at each period-end closing rate of exchange;
-     income and expenses were translated into Rands at average rates of exchange for each period as the average rate
      was considered a suitable proxy for the prevailing rates at the date of the transactions;
-     differences resulting from the retranslation on the opening net assets and the results for each period have been

4     ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION

During the current period, the Group adjusted the risk-free rate used in discounting the estimated cost of restoring the
environmental disturbances. Due to a change in the underlying inputs, there was a R10,6 million reduction in the
provision from the year ended February 28, 2014.

5     RESOURCE CAPITAL FUND V L.P ("RCF") LOAN FACILITIES

On July 3, 2014, after receiving shareholder approval at the special and annual general meeting held on
June 27, 2014, BC Corp closed the final tranche of the US$25,0 million convertible loan facility with RCF. The third and
final tranche of US$15,0 million is being advanced in tranches as per the amended and restated loan agreement with
RCF ("Amended RCF Agreement"). Furthermore, the RCF bridge loan facility of US$4,0 million, the original RCF
convertible loan facility of US$6,0 million ("Original RCF Convertible Loan") and the final tranche were rolled up into one
facility ("RCF Convertible Loan"), which is convertible at a price of C$0.1446 per common share of the Company
("Common Share") and matures on June 30, 2019.

There are two types of advances per the Amended RCF Agreement:

-     scheduled advances of funds by RCF to BC Corp of approximately US$4,8 million (approximately R48,5 million);
      and
-     equipment advances of approximately US$10,2 million (approximately R103,0 million), whereby funds will be
      advanced by RCF directly to equipment suppliers on behalf of the Company.

On July 4, 2014, the Company received the first scheduled advance of US$4,4 million (approximately R47,0 million) from
RCF which was advanced to Buffalo Coal Dundee Proprietary Limited (formerly Forbes Coal Proprietary Limited) ("BC
Dundee") as a shareholder loan. US$ 1,2 million (approximately R12,9 million) was advanced back to the Company as a
management fee. Of the remaining funds received by BC Dundee, R24,3 million was deposited into the Investec Bank
Limited ("Investec") working capital facility and R9,8 million was paid into the Investec bullet facility, as per the terms of
the amended and restated agreement with Investec ("Amended Investec Agreement") (refer to note 6).

In August 2014, the Company received the second tranche of the scheduled advances of US$0,2 million (approximately
R2,4 million) from RCF, which was advanced to BC Dundee. Subsequent to period-end, the Company received the third
tranche of US$0,05million (approximately R0,5 million) from RCF which was advanced to BC Dundee.

During the period ended September 30, 2014, a total of US$5,6 million (approximately R60,2 million) was advanced by
RCF directly to equipment suppliers, on behalf of BC Dundee, for the acquisition of assets and equipment as specified in
the Amended RCF Agreement. Subsequent to period-end, a further US$0,1 million (approximately R1,1 million) was
advanced by RCF directly to equipment suppliers on behalf of BC Dundee.

The Company issued 5 531 120 Common Shares to RCF at a price of C$0.1446 per Common Share, to settle the
establishment fee on the final tranche of the facility. During CYQ2 2014, the Company has issued 5 758 883 Common
Shares to RCF to settle the interest owing on the RCF Convertible Loan for the periods ending June 30, 2014 to August
31, 2014. The Common Shares were issued at a price per share ranging between C$0.0918 to C$0.01207, which was the
20-day volume weighted average price as at the date the payment was due.

In terms of IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, the roll up of the loan was treated as a
modification as the terms of the RCF Convertible Loan were not, by definition, substantially different from those of the
bridge loan and original convertible loan facilities.

The RCF Convertible Loan has been recognized in two parts, a component liability and a conversion option liability. An
embedded derivative exists due to the convertible loan facility being denominated in US Dollars and the functional
currency being Rands. The component liability will be accreted to its face value of US$20,2 million (approximately R227,8
million) using the effective interest rate method at approximately 36%.

The initial carrying value of the conversion option liability at each advance was obtained using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model and the following assumptions: expected volatility between 84% and 108%, expected life of between 4.9-
5.0 years, risk-free interest rate of 1.5% and expected dividend yield of 0%.

The fair value of the conversion option liability at September 30, 2014 was obtained using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model and the following assumptions: expected volatility of 60%, expected life of 4.8 years, risk-free interest rate
of 1.5% and expected dividend yield of 0%.

In terms of the Amended RCF Agreement, the Company was released from the security previously provided to RCF which
included a special notarial bond over the anthracite stockpile at July 31, 2013, the cession of a specified bank account
into which all the proceeds from the sale of such anthracite stockpile were transferred and security over BC Dundee's
shares.

Effective July 3, 2014 and in terms of the Amended RCF Agreement, RCF has taken a first ranking special notarial bond
from the Company over the new equipment as specified in the Amended RCF Agreement and acquired using the
proceeds of the RCF Convertible Loan. Furthermore, RCF has taken second ranking security over BC Dundee's shares and
all other moveable and immovable assets of the Company.

6     RESTRUCTURED INVESTEC BORROWINGS

On July 3, 2014, BC Dundee finalized a restructuring of the Investec loan facilities on the following terms:

-     five-year senior secured amortizing term loan facility of R90,0 million. The term loan facility accrues interest
      monthly at JIBAR plus 4%, with only interest payable on a quarterly basis up to December 2015. The first principle
      payment is due in December 2015 and thereafter, including interest, on a quarterly basis. The Amended Investec
      Agreement requires the Company to make payments if excess cash is available during the 18 month grace period
      up to a maximum of R4,5 million on a quarterly basis;
-     five-year senior secured loan facility of R50,0 million (the "Bullet Facility") repayable by way of a bullet repayment
      at the end of the facility life. The Bullet Facility accrues interest at JIBAR plus 4% with the first interest payment
      due in December 2015 and thereafter the Company will make quarterly repayments of interest only; and
-     five-year senior secured revolving credit facility of R30,0 million repayable on the final maturity date being
      July 3, 2019. Interest accrues at prime plus 0.5%, payable monthly.

The Amended Investec Agreement provides for certain covenants to be maintained, however, as part of the
restructuring, BC Dundee is only required to report covenants to Investec commencing December 2015.

Investec has subscribed for 34 817 237 warrants in the Company with a strike price of C$0.1446, the proceeds of which,
if exercised, will be applied against settlement of the Bullet Facility. RCF has the right to acquire the warrants from
Investec at agreed pricing during the period, ending on July 3, 2019.

The Bullet Facility and the warrants have been treated as a compound financial instrument, as the Bullet Facility could
effectively be settled through the issuance of the Company's Common Shares. Furthermore, an embedded derivative
exists due to the warrants being denominated in Canadian Dollars and the functional currency of the Company being
Rands. The Bullet Facility has been recognized in two parts, a component liability and a warrant liability.

The component liability will be accreted to its face value of R40,5 million using the effective interest rate method at
approximately 34.8%.

The initial carrying value of the warrant liability was obtained using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the
following assumptions: expected volatility of 100.0%, expected life of 5.0 years, risk-free interest rate of 1.71% and an
expected dividend yield of 0%.

The fair value of the warrant liability at period-end was obtained using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the
following assumptions: expected volatility of 60%, expected life of 4.8 years, risk-free interest rate of 1.5% and an
expected dividend yield of 0%.

The restructured Investec loan facilities are secured by first ranking security over BC Dundee's shares and all the
moveable and immovable assets of the Company, and second ranking security over all new equipment acquired using
the proceeds of the RCF Convertible Loan.

7     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Management Contracts

The new management contracts, as discussed in the PY2014 annual consolidated financial statements, require that
payments of approximately R12,6 million be made upon the occurrence of a change of control, other than a change of
control attributable to RCF.

Capital Commitments

Capital expenditures contracted for at the statement of financial position date but not recognized in the Interim Results
are as follows:

                                    September 30,     February 28,     September 30,
                                             2014             2014              2014
                                                R                R                C$
Property, plant and equipment          74 277 666        8 271 945         7 357 502

Included in the R8,3 million disclosed in PY2014 was a commitment to purchase a mining right from Ikwezi Mining
Proprietary Limited ("Ikwezi"). The agreement between BC Dundee, Zinoju Coal Proprietary Limited ("Zinoju") and
Ikwezi, lapsed on June 30, 2014 as a result of not receiving regulatory consent from the Minister of Mineral Resources
within the expected timelines (in terms of section 102 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of
2004 ("MPRDA")). The parties are currently in discussion regarding the terms of a new agreement. Included in the
R74,3 million disclosed as of September 30, 2014 are commitments relating to the purchase of machinery and
equipment which will be funded by equipment advances from RCF and excludes the R8,0 million commitment relating
to the purchase of the mining right from Ikwezi.

Environmental Contingency

The Company's mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the environment.
These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive. The Company believes its
operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company has made, and expects to
make in the future, expenditures to continue to comply with such laws and regulations.

Outstanding Legal Proceedings

On August 29, 2014 the Company reached a settlement agreement with Sasfin Bank Limited ("Sasfin") with regards to
Sasfin's claim for advisory fees in relation to the Riversdale Holding Proprietary Limited acquisition agreement. The
settlement agreement requires the Company to pay R2,1 million in two instalments of which the first instalment of
R1,0 million was paid in September 2014 and the second of R1,1 million is payable in September 2015. This amount has
been provided for as of September 30, 2014. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, such payment is in full
and final settlement of all claims which either party may have against each other.

An appeal was lodged in terms of section 96 of the MPRDA, by the Avemore Trust, challenging the Department of
Mineral Resources ("DMR") in relation to the grant of Mining Right 174 to Zinoju. Zinoju has lodged its replying
submission to the DMR and in the interim, pending the outcome of the process embarked upon by Avemore Trust,
Zinoju remains the holder of Mining Right 174 and is entitled to continue mining in the area covered by Mining Right
174. The Group is taking various steps to mitigate any potential risks in relation to the appeal.

8     CHANGE IN DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

On June 12, 2014, the Company announced the appointment of Mr. David Thomas to the Board of Directors. The
appointment of Mr. Thomas follows the resignation of Mr. Thomas Quinn Roussel who stepped down as a director of
the Company.

Mr. Neil Said resigned from his position as Corporate Secretary following the closing of the funding transactions with RCF
on July 3, 2014 (refer to note 5) and the Company appointed Ms. Lorraine Harrison to the position of Corporate
Secretary on the same day.

9     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Issuance of Share Capital

Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the Company issued additional shares to RCF in settlement of interest owing on the
RCF Convertible Loan for the periods ending September 30, 2014 and October 31, 2014. An additional 1 725 791 and
1 846 153 Common Shares were issued at prices of C$0.1308 and C$0.1232, respectively.

Shares in Escrow

On July 20, 2010, the shareholders of the Company were issued 2 700 000 performance special warrants (the
"Performance Special Warrants"). Each Performance Special Warrant was automatically exercised into one Common
Share of the Company for no additional consideration immediately prior to the completion of the Nyah Resources Inc.
acquisition, provided that such shares were deposited in escrow with an escrow agent (the "Escrowed Shares").

In November 2011, 50% of the Escrowed shares (the "First Tranche Escrowed Shares") were released as the target
EBITDA of BC Dundee of US$22,0 million was achieved. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the remaining Escrowed
Shares were cancelled, as BC Dundee had not achieved the target EBITDA of US$35,0 million over a consecutive twelve
month period within a three year-period following the release of the First Tranche Escrowed Shares.

Other Matters

Except for the matters discussed above, no other matters which management believes are material to the financial
affairs of the Company have occurred between the statement of financial position date and the date of approval of the
financial statements.
