CHAIRMAN’S REMARKS
As Chairman of the Board of Trustees I am pleased to welcome you to the 2015 Annual Report.
Over the last year the Mokolodi Wildlife Foundation made several key investments in refurbishing and
restructuring the Mokolodi Nature Reserve project to achieve the key objectives of conservation and
environmental education.
I am pleased to say that 2014-2015 financial year was another successful year for the Mokolodi
Wildlife Foundation. The Foundation has achieved strong financial results in spite of significant costs
involved in refurbishing the Reserve’s infrastructure and the continuing global economic challenges.
With the continued and substantial support of TUSK Trust UK, the Reserve achieved substantial
success in running several Boitumelo mo-Nageng (Joy in the Bush) camps. The number of
disadvantaged, orphaned and vulnerable children that the Reserve has hosted this past year has
been very positive.
With financial support from the UNDP GEF SGP the Reserve was able to start a project to manage
bush encroachment and erosion within the Reserve. The project, financed for two years (ending at
the end of 2015), has already benefited the Reserve in a very positive manner. Within the specified
sites, there has already been positive change in the amount of soil reclamation and in many areas,
an increase in grass productivity. Furthermore, the sites now provide an outdoor classroom for the
Education Centre, which is now able to show children the results of projects aimed to reclaim soil
and regenerate the natural landscape.
The Board of Trustees decision to carry out a restructuring exercise that resulted in the creation of the
Chief of Executive Officer position and the establishment of an Executive Committee within the Board
of Trustees structure has been successfully incorporated into the Foundation. With the CEO now
having the mandate and authority to make operational decisions, this has ensured that the decision
making process has been simplified and delays in many managerial areas have now been eliminated.
I wish to thank our Board of Trustees who willingly continue to give their time and expertise to ensure
the Foundation meets its objectives. One of my most pleasant duties is to thank our partners, friends
and all those who through their combined enthusiasm and support, continue to contribute to the
success of Mokolodi Nature Reserve.
Lastly, I must thank and applaud the substantial efforts and professionalism of the Mokolodi staff who
strive to offer an increasingly better product and who are growing into a strong and productive team.
Re a leboga bagaetsho!

The past year saw a review of the Environmental
Education Programme so as to address environmental
and conservation issues that affect modern day
Botswana.
The topics and the design of the curriculum have
been done in such a way as to ensure that they are
both relevant to the children and that the children
can relate them to their day-to-day experiences. The
current programme is informative, entertaining and as
far as possible continues to support the curriculum
as used in the government school’s syllabus.
Mokolodi Nature Reserve has over the past year
continued to invest in employing qualified, welltrained and enthusiastic educators. With the
restructured Environmental Education Programme
and the Outreach Programme, the Education
Centre is seeing that there is renewed enthusiasm
from schools and teachers and that schools are
recommitting to visiting the Reserve’s education
programmes. Activities continue to be tailored
to cater for the different age groups that visit us
and the Education Centre continues to provide an
environment that is affordable to schools as a result
of our subsidised pricing structure.
The Education Centre was well used over the
course of the year, with more children spending
more time with us. Overnight groups dominated
the year as opposed to the previous year that
saw a majority of day visits. Primary schools
and preschool groups continue to make up the
bulk of our visitors, however the visitor statistics
indicate that secondary school bookings have also
increased.
There was a slight increase in the number of
visitors to the Education Centre from 7,320 in the
2013 – 2014 Financial Year to 7,642 in the 2014
– 2015 Financial Year (a 4 % increase). Of those
visitors, the number that stayed for more than just
one day (overnight visitors) increased by slightly
over 9%, with a total number of bookings for the
Education Centre in the 2014 – 2015 Financial
Year increasing to 11,261 from 10,305 the
previous year.

Environmental Education Outreach Programme
Due to the generous support from Kgalagadi
Breweries Trust (KBT) and the donation of a vehicle
to the Reserve to enable the Educators to carry out
outreach activities, we are now able to reach more
schools and children in more areas throughout the
country. This has enabled the Reserve to interact
directly with hundreds of children that have been
unable to attend the programme at the Education
Centre itself or that perhaps were previously unaware
of what the Reserve has on offer. The Outreach
Programme ensures that we take our environmental
education messages to the schools and also promotes
the benefits of visiting the Reserve for an extended
programme.
Boitumelo mo-Nageng
Boitumelo mo-Nageng (“Joy in the Bush”) camps offer
children from disadvantaged backgrounds (primarily
orphans and vulnerable children) an opportunity to
experience the Education Centre’s Environmental
Education programmes and provides them with a safe
and supportive environment where social interaction
can take place. Due to the continued and loyal financial
support from TUSK Trust UK, the Centre is able to
invite and host an increasing number of children each
year. We also extend our appreciation to Mr Stephen
Lamdin and the Kirby family for their generous and
continued support and donations which have further
allowed us to increase the number of Boitumelo moNageng camps over the past year. The Education
Centre hosted a total of twelve (12) separate camps
during the 2014 – 2015 Financial Year.

A great number of developments and refurbishments
took place around the Reserve during the past year,
with the Reserve continuing its maintenance and
upgrade projects.
The focus has primarily been on ensuring the safety
of our clients and providing an improved guest
experience throughout the operation, from arriving
at reception to transportation to activities and to
overnighting in our accommodation. The Reserve has
upgraded several areas of the operation including
bringing the World’s View Centre up to a higher
standard by installing a back up generator, air
conditioning, new carpets, new dining chairs, built-in
public address system and Wi-Fi.
In an effort to reduce maintenance costs on old
vehicles, the Reserve has also purchased an additional
25-seater game drive vehicle. Thatch roofs now
receive general maintenance regularly and the majority
of the Reserve’s thatch structures have now been rethatched or have had substantial maintenance work
carried out on them.
Over the past year, work was also carried out on the
staff accommodation, including the refurbishment
of the staff kitchen and also maintenance on the
accommodation units and communal areas. All
lightening conductors have been serviced and surge
protectors installed in many areas to protect the
Reserve’s electronic equipment.
While maintenance of existing infrastructure has been
the primary focus from an operational perspective, the
Reserve has also been actively reducing unnecessary
expenditure through better planning and through the
implementation of controls and systems to monitor
and manage equipment and usage.

Rainfall, water availability and supplementary
feeding
During the past year’s rain season (October 2014 –
April 2015) the Reserve received a total of 415mm,
considerably less than the average historical (19932014) seasonal average of 519mm over the same
months. This is the second year in a row where
the average rainfall received has been well below
the seasonal average and as a result, the Reserve
(and surrounding areas) are experiencing drought
conditions.
Linked to the poor rains, surface water supply has
been under pressure, with all the smaller dams drying
up well before the end of winter. Supplementary water
was provided at artificial water points for the wildlife
for approximately three months of the year. Towards
the end of 2014, the ground water supply also came
under pressure, with the majority of the Reserve’s
boreholes yielding very little water.
The poor rains also had a negative impact on the
graze and browse within the Reserve and as such
resulted in the supplementary feeding of game. Due
to the poor rains in the previous rain season, the
Conservation Team started the supplementary feeding
earlier than normal in 2014. This had a positive
influence on the game, ensuring better condition of
the game throughout the dry winter period.
Supplementary feeding is necessary during the dry
season to reduce pressure on the limited availability
of vegetative forage, to ensure animals receive
adequate nutrient levels and to limit interspecific and
intraspecific competition between animal populations
competing for the same forage resources.
The supplementary feeding of game in the Reserve
is done through supplying a variety of feed including
Lucerne, cut grass, maize chop, maize bran, feed
pellets and nutrient / game blocks.

Rhino
The Reserve’s rhino population continues to do well,
with all animals being in a healthy condition. The
Conservation Team, in conjunction with the Botswana
Defence Force (who are based on the Reserve) patrol
the Reserve and monitor the rhino population on a daily
basis. In order to manage the genetic makeup of the
Reserve’s rhino population, Mokolodi Nature Reserve
and Khama Rhino Sanctuary have agreed to exchange
two male rhino.
United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP)/Global Environment Facility Small Grant
Programme (GEF SGP) Project
Mokolodi Nature Reserve received funds from the
UNDP (GEF SGP) to facilitate the management of
degraded areas within the Reserve. The UNDP (GEF
SGP) funded project enables the Reserve to plan
and implement effective conservation management
12
and veldt rehabilitation techniques. This programme
has been put into place to begin with the substantial
task of rehabilitating the Reserve’s veldt condition,
stabilising and reducing erosion and reducing the
density of bush encroaching species, providing a
healthier ecosystem with increased carrying capacity.
Over and above the ecological benefits, the project
has also increased the Reserve capacity to employ
additional staff from Mokolodi Village.
Erosion control - The Conservation Team has
implemented a number of control techniques to
manage erosion areas within the Reserve. These
include installing gabion baskets, reno-mattresses
and geotextile silt traps; reducing the gradient of
gullies; installing hessian/rock blankets and; creating
“potholes”. Each of these techniques aim to reduce
the velocity of flowing water, trap silt and promote
vegetation growth. The implemented geotextile silt
traps and potholes have already started to work with
sediment being trapped and vegetation already starting
to grow. An experimental grass regeneration project is
due to take place to further enhance grass growth and
in turn reduce soil erosion.
Bush encroachment - Reducing bush encroachment
is an important management task in areas that have
previously been utilised for livestock farming. Selective
bush clearing of invasive woody species including
Dichrostachys cinerea and Acacia mellifera has been
carried out in selected areas. Trees which are cut down
will be turned into wood chippings and others will
remain intact to act as protective layers to seedlings in
the grass regeneration project.
The UNDP GEF SGP project is also incorporated into
the Education Centre’s programmes and provides an
opportunity to be used as an educational tool to teach
children about resource utilisation (and over utilisation)
and environmental rehabilitation.
Burning regimes
Burning is an essential natural process that is required
to maintain a healthy savannah ecosystem. In these
systems, fire promotes the germination of dormant
seedlings, reduces the build up of moribund plant
material (which can result in the runway bush fires)
and also to reduce parasite loads. The Reserve
administered a number of small-scale controlled veld
burns in September and early October 2014, prior to the onset of the rains. On the fire management
front, firebreaks were burnt in high-risk areas at the
beginning of winter to restrict external bush fires
entering the Reserve and to provide locations for back
burns to be implemented should runaway fires enter
the Reserve.
Animal Sanctuary/Reptile Park
Over the past year there have been a number of
changes within the Reptile Park and Animal Sanctuary
to ensure the well being of the animals and in an effort
to provide the best possible experience for our clients.
All animals that have been brought to the Reserve are
assessed for any injuries and to check their general
health, prior to being considered for release back into
the wild. Unfortunately not all animals brought into
our care are able to be released due to permanent
injuries. These animals are housed in enclosures
that provide them with a safe living environment and
form an integral part of our Environmental Education
programme.

EVENTS & TOURISM
Events and Activities
This year saw a great success and growth in attendees
for events hosted by the Reserve as compared to the
previous year. The 3rd Annual Mokolodi Golf Day was
a great success with all proceeds generated from the
event going to the Boitumelo mo-Nageng Camps run
by the Education Centre. In addition, three local artists
(Gill Gilbert, Steve Johnson and Ian Johnson) hosted
a successful Art Exhibition in Gaborone in support of
Mokolodi with a percentage of proceeds being donated
to the Reserve. The Reserve’s Annual Star Gazing
event was very well received thanks to the continued
support of Geraldine and Harold Hester from Gaborone
and their guest astronomer from South Africa.
The Mokolodi Scorpion cycle challenge and the TIME
Projects Adventure Challenge were well attended, each
seeing several hundred participants take part. These
events help promote the Reserve and are making
Mokolodi a popular local cycling destination.
Other successful and enjoyable events include the
bring and braai Spring Picnic, Valentine’s Day Bush
Picnic, the Mokolodi Rhino Rock Concert with all
proceeds going to the Mokolodi’s Rhino Conservation
Programme, Mother’s Day Champagne Brunch with a
unique view of the Reserve from World’s View and the
Easter Brunch.
In terms of the Reserve’s tourism activities, there has
been an increase in numbers when compared to the
the previous Financial Year, with the Curio Shop and
Tea Garden, game drives and bush braais doing well.
Likewise, the Reserve’s accommodation facilities also
saw an increase in occupancy levels, especially on
weekends, in comparison to the previous year.
World’s View, with its upgraded facilities continued to
be a popular conference and function venue over the
year and remains unbeatable in terms of the view that
it has to offer.
Friends of Mokolodi Programme
The Friends of Mokolodi (FOM) members continue to
benefit from discounts on our Reserve activities and
facilities and over the past year, have also had greater
benefit from our increasing corporate partners. Cycling
within the Reserve, as an added benefit to the FOM
programme, has resulted in a noticeable increase in
membership numbers over the past year.
Marketing and Tourism
The Reserve continues to advertise in a number of
publications throughout the region, including the Air
Botswana in-flight magazine (Peolwane), Dreams
Botswana Magazine, The Passport, The Botswana
Advertiser, Getaway Magazine, B&T Maps, and in
Parks and Caravans. In addition we have advertised on
three billboards in and around Gaborone and have also
extended our flyer and brochure distributions to local
and regional transport hubs, hotels and other tourism
operators.
Greater reach - Our clientele mailing database has
grown by 25% over the past year (inclusive of the
Friends of Mokolodi members), and the Reserve’s
social media platforms have also shown a positive
increase in the number of followers and the amount of
interaction with our followers.

Independent auditor’s report
To the Trustees of The Mokolodi Wildlife Foundation
Report on the financial statements
We have audited the financial statements of The Mokolodi Wildlife Foundation, which comprise the
statement of financial position as at 31 March 2015, and the statements of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, changes in funds and cash flows for the year then ended, and the notes to the
financial statements which include a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information, as set on pages 5 to 27.
Trustees’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The trustees are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as the
trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of The
Mokolodi Wildlife Foundation as at 31 March 2015, and its financial performance and cash flows for
the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The Mokolodi Wildlife Foundation
Significant accounting policies
for the year ended 31 March 2015
Reporting entity
The Mokolodi Wildlife Foundation is a charitable foundation registered under the Societies Act of
Botswana. The Foundation’s principal activity is the conservation of wildlife and environmental
education. These financial statements represent its annual financial statements.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Pula (rounded off to the nearest Pula), which is the functional
currency, and are prepared on the historical cost basis, except where otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on
historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year
or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years.
Significant judgements, with regards to the application of IFRS, applied in the compilation of these
financial statements relate mainly to the evaluation of depreciation rates and residual values applied to
plant and equipment (note 4) and the calculation of the impairment accrual in respect of receivable
balances (note 7).
Significant accounting policies
The financial statements incorporate the following accounting policies which are consistent with those
applied in the previous year, except where otherwise stated.
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Pula at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of
the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date
are translated to Pula at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences
arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss.
The foreign currency gain or loss on the monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the
functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for the effective interest and payments
during the period, and the amortised cost in the foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the
end of the period.
Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss.

The Mokolodi Wildlife Foundation
Significant accounting policies (continued)
for the year ended 31 March 2015
Property and equipment
Property and equipment items are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of
property and equipment items. The estimated useful lives are as follows:


Freehold land is not depreciated. The residual value, if not insignificant, is reassessed annually as are
the depreciation methods and useful lives. Gains and losses arising on disposal of property and
equipment, which arise in the normal course of business, are determined by reference to their carrying
amount and are included in profit or loss.
Capital work in progress comprises costs incurred in constructing property and equipment that are
directly attributable to the construction of the asset. Assets remain in capital work in progress until they
have been put into use or commissioned, whichever is the earlier date. At that time they are transferred
to the appropriate class of property and equipment.
Repairs and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss during the financial year in which these
costs are incurred.
Game stock
Game stock is valued at cost, with no value being attributed to donated game and to enclosed
indigenous game.
Recognition and derecognition of assets and liabilities
The Foundation recognises assets when it obtains control of a resource as a result of past events and
future economic benefits are expected to flow to the Foundation. The Foundation derecognises a
financial asset when it loses control over the contractual rights that comprise the asset and
consequently transfers the substantive risks and benefits associated with the asset. A financial liability
is derecognised when it is legally extinguished.

Financial instruments
Non-derivative financial assets
The Foundation initially recognises loans, receivables and deposits on the date that these are
originated. All other financial assets are recognised on the trade date, which is the date that the
Foundation becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Foundation
derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it
transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred. Any interest
in transferred financial assets that is created or retained in the Foundation is recognised as a separate
asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial
position when the Foundation has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net
basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The Foundation classifies nonderivative financial assets as loans and receivables.
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in
an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses.
The Foundation’s principal financial assets comprise the following:
Paid up shares
Paid up shares are invested for an indefinite period. These instruments are carried at cost, plus interest
earned, less accumulated impairment. Impairment charges are written off to the statement of
comprehensive income as incurred.
Cash balances and cash equivalents
Cash balances and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term
highly liquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant
risk of changes in value.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an impairment accrual. An accrual for
impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Foundation will
not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original credit terms. Significant financial
difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation,
and default or delinquency in payments (more than 90 days overdue) are considered indicators that the
trade receivable is impaired.
The amount of the accrual is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value
of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the
asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in
profit or loss.
When a trade receivable balance is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for
trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognised in profit or
loss.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost less impairment charges.

Financial instruments (continued)
Financial liabilities
The Foundation initially recognises financial liabilities on the trade date, which is the date that the
Foundation becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Foundation derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged,
cancelled or expire. Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less any
directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate methods.
The Foundation’s principal financial liabilities comprise the following:
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the
ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if
payment is due within twelve months (or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer). If
not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Gains and losses on subsequent measurement
Gains and losses arising from a change in the fair value of financial instruments are included in the
statement of comprehensive income in the year in which the change arises.
Offset
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of
financial position when the Foundation has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised
amounts, and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
Impairment
Non-derivative financial assets
A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence
that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that
one or more events had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.
An impairment loss in respect of the financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the
difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows
discounted at the original effective interest rate.
Significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial
assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be
related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. The reversal of the
impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

The Mokolodi Wildlife Foundation
Significant accounting policies (continued)
for the year ended 31 March 2015
Impairment (continued)
Non-financial assets
The carrying values of the Foundation’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to
determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s
recoverable amount is estimated.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds
its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates
cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or asset groups.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. The recoverable amount of an asset or cashgenerating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less cost to sell. In assessing value in
use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indication that
these losses have decreased or no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a
change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only
to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined, net of depreciation and amortisation, if no impairment was recognised.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling
expenses. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average cost principle and includes
expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and
condition. Obsolete, redundant and slow moving inventories are identified on a regular basis and are
written down to their estimated net realisable values.
Employee benefits
In terms of the labour laws of Botswana, employees who are not members of an approved pension fund
or entitled to gratuities in terms of their employment contracts are entitled to severance benefits.
Severance benefits are not considered to be a retirement benefit plan as the benefits are payable on a
proportionate basis on termination of employment.
Employee entitlements to annual leave, bonuses, medical aid, housing benefits, pension fund
contributions and other employee benefits are recognised when they accrue to employees and an
accrual is recognised for the estimated liability as a result of services rendered by the employees up to
the reporting date.
Donations
Donations are accounted for on a receipts and value in kind basis. The 99 year leasehold of the land,
which is included at a Trustees' valuation of P750 per hectare, and other donated fixed assets are
included as capital donations. All other donations in kind are included profit or loss. An amount
equivalent to the annual depreciation charge on donated assets is transferred to profit or loss.

The Mokolodi Wildlife Foundation
Significant accounting policies (continued)
for the year ended 31 March 2015
Net finance income
Net finance income comprises of interest receivable on funds invested and interest payable on
borrowings. Interest income is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues using the effective interest rate
method.
The interest expense component of finance lease payments is recognised in profit or loss using the
effective interest rate method.
Income
Income comprises operational income from gate takings, chalet letting, game drives and walks, game
sales, hiring of the education centre, educational courses, membership fee income, restaurant rental and
bush braais.
Income excludes Value Added Taxation.
Assets held for sale
Assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered
principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as
met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate
sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to
qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
Assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous
carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Operating leases
Leases where the lessor retains the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset are
classified as operating leases. Payments made or income from an operating lease is recognised in profit
or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
New standards and interpretations which became effective during the year
The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations became effective during the
year ended 31 March 2015:

Investment Entities (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27) - These amendments
clarify that a qualifying investment entity is required to account for investments in controlled
entities, as well as investments in associates and joint ventures, at fair value through profit or loss;
the only exception would be subsidiaries that are considered an extension of the investment entity’s
investment activities. The consolidation exemption is mandatory and not optional. These
amendments did not have any impact on the Foundation’s financial statements.

Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendments to IAS 32) - These
amendments clarify when an entity can offset financial assets and financial liabilities. These
amendments did not have any impact on the Foundation’s financial statements.

Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets (Amendments to IAS 36) - These
amendments reverse the unintended requirement in IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement to disclose
the recoverable amount of every cash-generating unit to which significant goodwill or indefinitelived intangible assets have been allocated. Under the amendments, the recoverable amount is
required to be disclosed only when an impairment loss has been recognised or reversed. These
amendments did not have any impact on the Foundation’s financial statements.

New standards and interpretations which became effective during the year (continued)

IFRIC 21 Levies – Levies have become more common in recent years, with governments in a
number of jurisdictions introducing levies to raise additional income. Current practice on how to
account for these levies is mixed. IFRIC 21 provides guidance on accounting for levies in
accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Assets. These amendments did not
have any impact on the Foundation’s financial statements.

Novation of derivatives and continuation of Hedge Accounting (Amendments to IAS 39) IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement requires an entity to discontinue
hedge accounting if the derivative hedging instrument is novated to a clearing counterparty, unless
the hedging instrument is being replaced as part of the entity's original documented hedging
strategy. These amendments add a limited exception to IAS 39, to provide relief from discounting
an existing hedging relationship, when a novation was not contemplated in the original hedging
documentation. These amendments did not have any impact on the Foundation’s financial
statements.
New standards and interpretations not yet effective
The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the
year ended 31 March 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements:

Amendments to IAS 19: Defined benefit plans: Employee contributions – These amendments
introduce relief that will reduce the complexity and burden of accounting for certain contributions
from employees or third parties. Such contributions are eligible for practical expedient if they are:
 set out in the formal terms of the plan;
 linked to service; and
 independent of the number of years of service.
When contributions are eligible for the practical expedient, an entity is permitted (but not required)
to recognise them as a reduction of the service cost in the period in which the related service is
rendered. If an entity with a defined benefit plan that requires employees to contribute to the plan
chooses to apply this amendment, the entity will recognise the contributions as reduction of the
service costs in the period in which the related service is rendered. These amendments effective for
periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 are not expected to have any impact on the Foundation’s
financial statements.

IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts: IFRS 14 provides guidance on accounting for regulatory
deferral account balances by first-time adopters of IFRS. To apply this standard, the company has
to be rate-regulated i.e. the establishment of prices that can be charged to its customers for goods
and services is subject to oversight and/or approval by an authorised body. The standard is
effective for financial reporting years beginning on or after 1 January 2016 with early adoption
permitted. This standard is not expected to have any impact on the Foundation’s financial
statements.

Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations (Amendments to IFRS 11): The
amendments require business combination accounting to be applied to acquisitions of interests in a
joint operation that constitutes a business. Business combination accounting also applies to the
acquisition of additional interests in a joint operation while the joint operator retains joint control.
The additional interest acquired will be measured at fair value. The previously held interest in the
joint operation will not be remeasured. The amendments apply prospectively for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2016 and early adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected
to have any impact on the Foundation’s financial statements.

New standards and interpretations not yet effective (continued)

Agriculture: Bearer Plants (Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41): The amendments to IAS 16
Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 41 Agriculture require a bearer plant (which is a living
plant used solely to grow produce over several periods) to be accounted for as property, plant and
equipment in accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment instead of IAS 41
Agriculture. The produce growing on bearer plants will remain within the scope of IAS 41. The
amendments apply prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 and early
adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected to have any impact on the Foundation's
financial statements.

Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation (Amendments to IAS
16 and IAS 38): The amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment explicitly state that
revenue-based methods of depreciation cannot be used for property, plant and equipment. The
amendments to IAS 38 Intangible Assets introduce a rebuttable presumption that the use of
revenue-based amortization methods for intangible assets is inappropriate. The presumption can be
overcome only when revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible asset
are ‘highly correlated’, or when the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue. The
amendments apply prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 and early
adoption is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Foundation’s
financial statements.

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers: This standard replaces IAS 11 Construction
Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for
the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfer of Assets from Customers and SIC-31 Revenue
– Barter of Transactions Involving Advertising Services. The standard contains a single model that
applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognising revenue: at a point in time
or over time. The model features a contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine
whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. The standard is effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2017, with early adoption permitted under IFRS. The standard is
not expected to have any impact on the Foundation’s financial statements.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: On 24 July 2014, the IASB issued the final IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments Standard, which replaces earlier versions of IFRS 9 and completes the IASB’s project
to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. This standard may have
an impact on the measurement bases of a company’s financial assets to amortised cost, fair value
through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss. Even though these
measurement categories are similar to IAS 39, the criteria for classification into these categories
are significantly different. In addition, the IFRS 9 impairment model has been changed from an
“incurred loss” model from IAS 39 to an “expected credit loss” model. The standard is effective
for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with retrospective application, early
adoption is permitted. The amendments may have an impact on the classification of the
Foundation's financial assets and liabilities.

Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements (Amendments to IAS 27): The amendments
allow an entity to apply the equity method in its separate financial statements to account for its
investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. The amendments apply retrospectively
for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The
amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Foundation’s financial statements.


Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
(Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28): The amendments require the full gain to be recognised
when assets transferred between an investor and its associate or joint venture meet the definition
of a ‘business’ under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Where the assets transferred do not meet the
definition of a business, a partial gain to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate
or joint venture is recognised. The definition of a business is key to determining the extent of the
gain to be recognised. The amendments apply prospectively for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have
any impact on the Foundation’s financial statements.

Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS
12 and IAS 28): The amendment to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements clarifies which
subsidiaries of an investment entity are consolidated instead of being measured at fair value
through profit and loss. The amendment also modifies the condition in the general consolidation
exemption that requires an entity’s parent or ultimate parent to prepare consolidated financial
statements. The amendment clarifies that this condition is also met where the ultimate parent or
any intermediary parent of a parent entity measures subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss
in accordance with IFRS 10 and not only where the ultimate parent or intermediate parent
consolidates its subsidiaries.
The amendment to IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities requires an entity that
prepares financial statements in which all its subsidiaries are measured at fair value through profit
or loss in accordance with IFRS 10 to make disclosures required by IFRS 12 relating to
investment entities.
The amendment to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures modifies the conditions
where an entity need not apply the equity method to its investments in associates or joint ventures
to align these to the amended IFRS 10 conditions for not presenting consolidated financial
statements. The amendments introduce relief when applying the equity method which permits a
non-investment entity investor in an associate or joint venture that is an investment entity to retain
the fair value through profit or loss measurement applied by the associate or joint venture to its
subsidiaries.
The amendments apply retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016,
with early application permitted. These amendments are not expected to have any impact on the
Foundation’s financial statements.

Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 1): The amendments provide additional guidance on
the application of materiality and aggregation when preparing financial statements. The
amendments apply for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 and early application
is permitted. These amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Foundation’s
financial statements.

The Board of Trustees approved the disposal of 120 hectares of land owned by the Foundation to
create a stabilisation fund to guard against potential disasters such as drought, fire or diseases which
could close down the projects and which donations and the accumulated surplus may not fully cover.
The Foundation has an option to use the fund for other purposes for which the fund was not
established for, with the approval of the trustees. There were no sales in the current year.

the commitment by the trustees to sell off 27 demarcated plots of 4 hectares each. Management is no
longer exploring the option to dispose of the remaining plot. This plot has been reclassified to land and

16. Financial instruments
The Foundation is exposed to interest rate, credit and liquidity risks in the normal course of business.
Each of these risks is described below, together with a summary of the ways in which the Foundation
manages these risks.
The Board of Trustees has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Foundation’s
risk management framework. It oversees how management monitors compliance with the entity’s risk
management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in
relation to the risks faced by the entity
The Foundation’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the
Foundation, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits.
Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions
and the entity’s activities.
Interest rate risk
Fluctuations in interest rates impact on the value of short term cash investment and financing activities,
giving rise to interest rate risk. Surplus funds are invested in such a manner as to achieve maximum
returns whilst minimising risks.
The interest rates applicable at reporting date are as follows:
2015
2014
1.3%
4.5%
8%
1.3%
5.5%
8%

An increase of 50 basis points in interest rates during the reporting period would have increased the
Foundation’s surplus as follows:

2014
1 233

BSB – Sesigo savings account
18 096
16 071
Botswana Building Society indefinite period shares
18 163
16 890
Call and margin deposit bank accounts
A decrease of 50 basis points in interest rates during the reporting period would have had the equal but
opposite impact on the Foundation’s surplus on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

Credit risk
Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing
basis. Key areas where the Foundation is exposed to credit risk are:
- operating lease receivable;
- receivables;
- investments in cash and cash equivalents; and
- investment in paid up shares.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum exposure. The maximum exposure at the
reporting date was as follows:

4 959 644
8 148 266
8 878 464
Liquidity risk
The Foundation is exposed to daily operational payments and payment of trade payable balances.
Liquidity risk is the risk that cash may not be available to pay obligations when due at reasonable cost.
The following are contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and
excluding the impact of netting agreements:

17. Fair values
Financial instruments carried at fair value are categorised in three levels by valuation
method. The different levels have been defined as follows:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from
prices); and
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable inputs).

Production of the Annual Report
Each year the Mokolodi Wildlife Foundation produces this annual report. A limited number of printed copies
are produced, thanks to those commercial sponsors who purchased advertising space to cover production and
distribution costs, without financial burden to the foundation. Printed copies are available for collection from
the Marketing Department of Mokolodi Nature Reserve, upon request. To fully meet our reporting objectives,
annual reports are also available to view and download from our website, www.mokolodi.com.
