Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the periods ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016
(Presented in South African Rands)
1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the "Interim Results") of Buffalo Coal Corp. ("BC Corp" or the
"Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group") for the periods ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 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 consolidated annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's
consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, 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 December 31, 2016.
References to "R", "Rands" mean South African Rands, "C$" mean Canadian Dollars and to "US$" mean United States Dollars.
References to Q1 2017 mean the period ended March 31, 2017.
Going Concern
The Interim Results 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. Market conditions deteriorated significantly over the prior financial years necessitating, during the
financial year ended December 31, 2015, the implementation of various restructurings at Buffalo Coal Dundee (Pty) Ltd ("BC
Dundee") including two retrenchment processes and the conclusion of agreements with STA Coal Mining Company Proprietary
Limited ("STA"). The arrangements with STA include the provision of contract mining services by STA at Magdalena ("STA Contract
Mining Agreement"), the sale of certain underground mining equipment to STA and an equity settlement arrangement ("STA Equity
Settlement Agreement") in terms of which a portion of the contract mining fees will be settled through the issuance of common
shares of the Company ("Common Shares"), in order to alleviate cash flow pressures. In addition, the Company secured additional
funding from Resource Capital Fund V L.P. ("RCF") and Investec Bank Limited ("Investec") in December 2015, of which the last
tranche was drawn in March 2016. During 2016, the Group entered into contracts with a significant export customer for the sale of
built-up anthracite stockpiles at market-related pricing, which has and will inject cash into the Group. Subsequent to quarter end,
Investec agreed to release R22.0 million undrawn Working Capital Facility funds, which was subject to agreement being reached on
the revised terms and conditions to the term loan and revolving credit agreement (refer to note 7 Subsequent Events). Although the
Group has implemented various restructuring initiatives, the Group continues to experience operational challenges. The Group
remains dependent upon sustaining profitable levels of operation, as well as the continued support of Investec, RCF and other
stakeholders and believes that subject to its ability to meet current forecasts, it should be able to generate positive cash flows in the
foreseeable future.
As at March 31, 2017, the Company had a shareholder's deficiency of R215.2 million (December 31, 2016:
R221.7 million), a working capital deficiency of R191.7 million (December 31, 2016: R192.7 million) and for the three month period
ended March 31, 2017, had a net profit of R4.2 million (March 31, 2016: loss of R12.1 million). The Group was in breach of certain
covenants with respect to its borrowings from Investec at March 31, 2017. On November 22, 2016, Investec provided a forbearance
letter stating that it does not intend to exercise its rights to request early payment of the outstanding debt; however, no waiver has
been provided and Investec has reserved its right to review this decision periodically, with no obligation to keep the Company
advised in this regard. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to meet its covenants in the future, or that Investec will
provide future waivers, if required. These matters constitute material uncertainties which cast significant doubt as to whether the
Group can continue as a going concern.
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. Such adjustments could be material.
Convenience rate translation
The Company's functional and presentation currency is Rands. The Canadian Dollar amounts provided in the Interim Results
represent supplementary information solely for the convenience of the reader. The financial position as of March 31, 2017
and the financial results for the three months period ended March 31, 2017 were translated into Canadian Dollars using a
convenience translation at the rate of C$1:R10.0623, which is the exchange rate published on Oanda.com as of March 31,
2017. 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 March
31, 2017:
IAS 7 - Disclosure Initiative
The amendments require an entity to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities
arising from financing activities. The amendment did not have a significant impact on the Group.
IAS 12 - Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for unrealized losses
The amendments were issued to clarify the requirements for recognising deferred tax assets on unrealised losses. The amendments
clarify the accounting for deferred tax where an asset is measured at fair value and that fair value is below the asset's tax base. They
also clarify certain other aspects of accounting for deferred tax assets.
The amendments clarify the existing guidance under IAS 12. They do not change the underlying principles for the recognition of
deferred tax assets. The amendment did not have a significant impact on the Group.

4 INVESTEC BORROWINGS
On December 2, 2015, BC Corp closed a second amended and restated term loan and revolving credit facility with Investec ("Second
Amended Investec Agreement"), whereby Investec agreed to extend BC Dundee's working capital facility from R30.0 million to R80.0
million, comprising two tranches of R25.0 million each. The conditions to the first and second tranche were fulfilled and drawn in
December 2015 and March 2016 respectively. On December 18, 2015, BC Dundee entered into a third amendment to the Investec
loan agreement ("Third Amendment"), in terms of which the repayment schedule for the term loan facility was replaced with a new
schedule with principal repayments commencing on March 31, 2016.
Due to continued cash constraints, Investec was approached during the first quarter of 2016 for a deferral of the term loan facility
repayment due on March 31, 2016. On March 31, 2016, BC Dundee entered into a fourth amendment to the Investec term loan and
revolving credit agreement ("Fourth Amendment") in terms of which the repayment schedule for the term loan facility was replaced
with a new schedule with principal repayments commencing on June 30, 2016.
In addition, surplus cash at each quarter-end in excess of R30.0 million will be used to reduce the R80.0 million working capital
facility back to R30.0 million and a clause was included restricting outflows of funds from BC Dundee to BC Corp between April 1,
2016 and June 30, 2016, unless prior written consent was obtained from Investec. To date, no cash has been swept to reduce the
working capital facility.
Investec was again approached for a deferral of the term loan facility repayment due on June 30, 2016.On June 30, 2016, BC Dundee
entered into a fifth amendment to the term loan and revolving credit agreement ("Fifth Amendment") in terms of which the repayment
schedule for the term loan facility was replaced with a new schedule with principal repayments commencing on September 30, 2016.
Investec extended the restriction on the outflows of funds from BC Dundee to BC Corp to September 30, 2016, unless prior written
consent was obtained from Investec.
On each of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016 the company made the term loan facility repayments of R7.5 million.
BC Dundee was required to meet specified debt covenants at March 31, 2017 and was in breach of certain of these covenants at this
date. Such breach constitutes an event of default under the debt agreement whereby Investec is entitled to request early payment
of the outstanding debt. On November 22, 2016, Investec provided a forbearance letter stating that it does not intend to exercise its
rights to request early payment of the outstanding debt; however, it has reserved its right to review this decision periodically, with
no obligation to keep the Company advised in this regard.
Due to Investec being entitled to request early payment of the outstanding debt, as a result of the breach in covenants referred to
preceding, management has determined that the total Investec debt of R162.5 million be classified as current borrowings.
Due to continued cash constraints, the scheduled R7.5 million repayment of the term loan facility was not made on March 31, 2017,
constituting an event of default.
Subsequent to quarter end, BC Dundee entered into the sixth amendment to the term loan and revolving credit agreement and the
undrawn working capital facility balance of R22.0 million was made available. Refer to note 7, Subsequent Events.
5 ISSUANCE OF COMMON SHARES TO STA
On February 22, 2017, the Company issued Common Shares to STA pursuant to the STA Equity Settlement Agreement entered into
during the financial year ended December 31, 2015. An additional 4 286 908 Common Shares were issued at C$0.05 (R0.51).
6 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Director Agreement
An agreement with a director requires that payment of approximately R3.0 million be made upon the occurrence of a change of
control, other than a change of control attributable to RCF. As no triggering event has taken place, no provision has been recognised
as of March 31, 2017.
STA Contract Mining Agreement
In terms of the STA Contract Mining Agreement, STA is mining four sections at Magdalena at a fixed contract mining fee per tonne,
effective October 31, 2015. The STA Contract Mining Agreement has a three year term, and the option for a further two year
extension if agreed to by all parties. In terms of the STA Equity Settlement Agreement, a portion of the contract mining fees will be
settled in Common Shares, in order to alleviate cash flow pressures.
The STA Contract Mining agreement can be terminated on 60 days notice for which period the Company will be liable for payment
for the tonne mined at the fixed rate per tonne.
Capital Commitments
Capital expenditures contracted for at the statement of financial position date but not recognized in the Interim Results are as

In terms of Regulation 8.10 of the Mine Health and Safety Act, 29 of 1996 Regulations, the Company is required to take reasonably
practicable measures to ensure that pedestrians are prevented from being injured as a result of collisions between trackless mobile
machines and pedestrians, by way of the installation of proximity devices on specified machines. The Company is currently investigating
its options in this regard. The Company has proposed the phase in of such devices over a five year period.
Environmental and Regulatory Contingency
The Company's mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the environment and mine
operations. 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.
Effective November 20, 2015, regulations governing financial provisions for asset retirement obligations was transitioned from the
Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act ("MPRDA") to the National Environmental Management Act ("NEMA"). There is
currently substantial uncertainty regarding the revised requirements for financial provisions pursuant to NEMA. Management is
currently seeking clarification of the revised requirements in order to determine the expected impact of the change, which may
result in a significant increase to the asset retirement obligation. One of the key changes in the requirements is that closure cost
assessment now has to be based on a "Sudden Closure" assessment and third party rates whereas pursuant to the MPRDA, it was
based on the end of mine life and prescribed rates. Uncertainty exists around the transitional arrangements although the
implementation date of the new Act is expected to be February 20, 2019.
Outstanding Legal Proceedings
On April 20, 2015, the trustees of the Avemore Trust brought an application in the High Court of South Africa against, among others,
the South African Minister of Mineral Resources ("the Minister"), BC Dundee and Zinoju in respect of Mining Right 174 ("MR174"). In
terms of the application, the trustees of the Avemore Trust challenged the decision by the Minister, subsequent to an internal
appeal process concluded during September 2014, to grant a converted mining right to BC Dundee and to grant consent for the
cession of the converted mining right to Zinoju. There have been various settlement offers between the parties, but should
settlement not be reached, BC Dundee and Zinoju intend to oppose the application. The Company's external legal team, including
senior counsel have advised of a defendable case in terms of Avemore Trust's approach to the matter. The legal process on this
matter is currently ongoing.
On August 27, 2015, notice was received from the Minister that Mining Right 301 ("MR301") had been withdrawn together with the
approval by the Regional Manager of the Environmental Management Plan in respect of MR301 (the "Ministerial Decision"). The
reasons given by the Minister for the Ministerial Decision are procedural issues in respect of the award process, in relation to an
objection received from Avemore Trust in October 2013 against the awarding of the right. On September 15, 2015, an urgent court
order was granted, pending final determination, for the Ministerial Decision to be of no force and effect, to interdict the Minister
from awarding MR301 to any other party and for the Company to continue to mine in terms of MR301. A review application was
instituted by the Company in October 2015 to obtain final relief in the form of an order setting aside the Ministerial Decision. On
March 23, 2016, Avemore Trust filed a counter application for the Ministerial Decision to be remitted for consideration by the
Minister. The Company's external legal team, including senior counsel have indicated a strong likelihood of the review application
being successful. The legal process on this matter is currently ongoing.
South African Revenue Service ("SARS") Correspondence
During the year ended December 31, 2016, BC Dundee received a letter of demand from SARS with regards to an investigation
conducted by them on diesel refunds claimed by BC Dundee under the South African Customs and Excise Act, 91 of 1964. As per the
notification, the SARS Commissioner has disallowed diesel refunds in the amount of R13.8 million (including interest) for the period
December 2012 to February 2016. The Company applied to SARS to suspend payment, however this request was denied. SARS has
requested payment in three equal instalments of R4.9 million between March 2017 and May 2017. The Company requested SARS to
enter into more favorable instalment terms and is awaiting feedback from SARS. The Company has disputed the disallowance of
diesel refunds and believes it has a defendable case, however the outstanding amount owing has been included in trade and other
payables. During March 2017 and April 2017 the Company made the first and second instalment repayment of R4.9 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, Zinoju received correspondence from SARS after conducting an audit of the 2012 to 2014
tax returns, disallowing an expense claimed in the 2012 tax return. The total exposure is approximately R3.0 million plus penalties of
R1.5 million and interest of R1.8 million, all of which have been provided for as at March 31, 2017. The Company raised an objection
to SARS disputing the penalties and interest levied, however the objection was disallowed. The Company has lodged an appeal to the
SARS Commissioner to defend its case and is awaiting feedback from SARS.
7 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Investec facility revised terms
The Magdalena mine current LOM has a main development panel, which is Panel 417. It is critical this panel be developed to allow
sufficient pit-room for the mining sections. Drilling results in panel 417 revealed a dyke of 22 meters thick, with a 13.5 meter down-
throw. In terms of the life of mine planning for Magdalena, the mine must develop through this dyke in order to access the LOM
block towards South-West of the reserves, which would establish additional pit-room. Funding was required for this development,
and Investec was approached to make the undrawn R22.0 million Working Capital Facility available for this purpose.
Investec has agreed to release the funds, subject to agreement being reached on the following revised terms and conditions:
- The Panel 417 project implementation shall be reviewed and its completion verified by a Project Oversight Committee
appointed by Investec.
- Investec agrees to not exercise its rights arising from events of default until July 15, 2017.
- Investec will review the terms and conditions of the facility after July 15, 2017, with a view to agreeing terms and
conditions of an extension of the final maturity date for a period of no less than 2 years, subject to the project having been
successfully completed to the Project Oversight Committee's satisfaction.
- Investec will release the R22.0 million as working capital for the purpose of ensuring the project is completed timeously.
- A Life of Mine Royalty ("LOMR") shall be payable to Investec on all bituminous coal sales with effect from July 1, 2017,
calculated at a rate of 3.54% on all bituminous coal sold.
- If all amounts owing under the facility are paid on or before June 30, 2018, the Company shall pay Investec a fee equal to
the greater of the aggregate amount of the LOMR which was payable until the date of repayment, and R22.0 million,
minus the aggregate amount of the LOMR which was paid to Investec up to that date. The LOMR shall be terminated if the
facilities are fully repaid before June 30, 2018.
On April 13, 2017, BC Dundee entered into a sixth amendment to the term loan and revolving credit agreement and the undrawn
working capital facility balance was made available for drawdown. As of the date of these Financial Statements, the Company has
drawn the full R80.0 million working capital facility.
