The operating performance for the first six months for FIMBank Group was solid and in line with budget, as the Group navigated its way through the aftereffects of the pandemic, financial market volatility and other international developments. The consistent operating performance was however overshadowed by an increased coverage for non-performing loans.
In the aftermath of the pandemic, many markets have witnessed inflation rising rapidly and in reply to this, started raising interest rates, especially for currencies that have a significant influence on the Group balance sheet was favourably positioned to benefit from this improving interest rates resulted in higher interest earnings but also higher borrowing costs for the Group. This improved net margins allowing the Group to register a 10% increase in net interest revenues.
The accelerated increases in market reference rates, commodity prices and inflation rates and impacted global markets, in particular trading of securities and asset valuations of forfating assets, which is one of the main pillars of the Group, is directly impacted by market prices and refert, the Group has suffered an unrealised loss on its trading portfolio, part of which could readyst when markets stabilise. The Group did however manage to compensate for this trading loss by increased dividend income received from its investment in the Sustainable Investment Fund.
Aqainst the backdrop of inflationary pressures and increased volatility, the Group improved its overall cost efficiency, establishing its ablity to meet operating budgets. With the Euro depreciating and strategic adjustments, the Group did in fact save on 10% of its operating expenses when compared to same period last year. Nevertheled to pursue long-term investments, which are crucial in achieving strategic goals and in unlocking value creation.
In spite of this challenging environment, the Group's de-risking process proved to be effective as nonperforming. Given the heightened uncertainty and delays in recovery progress, the Group increased its Stage 3 provisions on legacy nonperforming assets, to achieve an improved coverage ratio. Even so, Manaqement have been focusing on recoveries and remains confident that these recovery efforts will come into fruition in the near future. Regrettably, the increase in provisions did leave its mark on the Group's profitability, as it led the Group's net income to negative territory, resulting in a loss before tax of USD1.3 million.
In preparation for any possible global downside scenario, Management has been working to gear the Group for such eventualities. In line with the set strategy, Management continued to tackle structural issues, to reposition the risk appetite and to enhance cost efficiencies, whilst also meeting clients' needs and help risks in these challenging times.
The Group's capital position remained strong, with an average total ratio of 18.6% and with solid liquidity buffers, maintaining an average liquidity coverage ratio of 242% for the six-month period. The de-risking strategy as set out in the last few years, is currently even more relevant and well suited to help to weather the uncertainties that have been and will be impacting global economies. The strategy has allowed the Group to preserve its capitalio quality in check during these volatile times.
The results for the period under review are summarised in the table be read in conjunction with the explanatory commentary that follows:

At USD22 million the Group's net operating revenues were in line with same period last year. Net interest income rose by USD 1.3 million (10%) year on year, to USD14.0 million, as policy makers are gradually normalising their monetary policies allowing the lending margins. Net fees and commission income at USD5.6 million was at same levels of first six month for prior year.
The Group incurred revaluation lossets and other debt securities of USD2.2 million, compared to a USD1.7 million gain recorded in same period last year, as interest rates arow apprehensive about energy supplies and other macroeconomic risks materialising. The Group received USD3.8 million dividends from its investment in the unlisted sub-fund, compared to USD1.1 million recorded in June 2021.
Other operating income, including effects from foreign exchange movements, was stable and in line with the first half of last year. Operating expenses for the six months under review stood at USD18.7 million, down by 10% from same period last year. As a result of the Group's prudent cost containment, passively supported by the Euro devaluation against the US Dollar, inflationary pressures were compensated for.
As several risks materialised, the Group increased its net provisions by USD4.4 million, primarily for the legacy non-performing clients. Provisions for credit losses on legacy non-performing clients increased by USD3.5 million. Stage 1 and 2 provisions on performing assets were marqinally increased by USD0.2 million. On a positive note, the Group recovered USD0.9 million from previously written-off debt and wroteoff USD1.6 million of assets on which the Group had no reasonable expectations of recovering the contractual cash flows.
Provisions for tax for all Group entities for the six months ending 30 June 2021: USD1.3 million). An amount of USD.2 million from this figure represented one-off 'exit tax' related to Hellenic branch closure. The Group has utilised some of its deferred taxation and has carried out an assessment to ensure that the recognised deferred tax assets are recoverable before their finite expiry.
FIMBank Group reported a loss after tax of USD2.9 million for the six months ending 30 June 2022.
The financial position of the Group remained stable and under control. As at 30 June 2022, total consolidated assets stood at USD 1,78 billion, a marginal decrease of USD12.5 million (0.7%) from end-2021. There were only marginal shifts in the asset mix which related to standard volatility in business volumes, with loans to customers, trading assets and factoring fund-in-use decreasing by USD21 million and USD9 million, respectively. On the other hand, there was a rise in factoring receivables by USD27 million and in debt securities by USD9 million.
Total consolidated liabilities as at 30 June 2022 remained at the stable level of end-2021 at USD1.56 billion. Amounts due to other banks decreased by USD39 million and debt securities in issue dropped by USD25 million, whereas amounts due to corporate and retail clients rose by USD31 million. In line with the factoring receivable trend, factoring creditors rose by USD27 million.
As at financial reporting date the Group had USD220 million of total equity (31 December 2021: USD224 million drop originating mainly from the USD2.9 million loss for the period. Currency translation reserve shrank by USD1.8 million Rupee, being the denomination currency of the Group's net assets of its foreign operation in India, has depreciated in recent months.
During the review period, fair value reserve increased by USD1.1 million as the Group changed its business from hold-to-collect and sell, to hold-to-collect only. This led to the fair value loss recognised as at end-2021. Further details on this change in business model are disclosed under Note 7.3.
At the end of the June 2022, the Group's CET1 and CAR ratios were both at 19.8% (31 18.7%), 380 basis points above the regulatory requirement which includes the impact of an additional capital charge under the SREP Pillar II requirement set by the MFSA.
As the world recovers from the pandemic and shifts to 'business-as-usual', new macro risks have been materialising. Ongoing supply chain disruptions were exacerbated by the fallback of prevailing from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The drive by policy makers' to contain the accelerated inflation is introducing new levels of macro uncertainty, which is being actively monitored and addressed with structural adjustments to the Group's operations.
In midst of this turmoil, the decision by the Financial Action Task Force to remove Malta from the 'greylist' was a welcomed development. Although the Group had implemented measures designed to mitigate the consequential impact from Malta being on the 'greyist', the decision to remove Malta from list has opened business opportunities which were previously suspended.
Having noted this, the Group will continue executing its strategy to pursue business opportunities within its risk appetite of risk adjusted returns. With our customer centric focus, we project moderate growth through our offering, in business lines and in geographies that provide superior returns and pose less risk, to generate consistent value to the organization. Complex structures are gradually being phased out and business lines are being streamlined, with one recent outcome of our Hellenic Branch in Greece. While simplifying the Group structure, we are solidifying our presence in Malta, our home country.
The conclusion of the MFSA Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) that resulted in a requirement (P2R) by 1.5% was welcomed by the Group. This allows growth in asset portfolios and creates opportunity for the Group to convert its asset origination power into incremental tangible revenue streams. Moreover, the Group's balance sheet is positioned for the increasing interest rate scenario, which shall strengthen the underlying profitability.
The Group will continue its efforts in reducing the absolute amount of non-performing assets and in improvinq its non-performing coverage ratios. The fully dedicated Recovery function this positive momentum by addressing legacy non-performing assets that are outstanding, as well as those that were previously written-off.
ln a context of developing regulatory framework including the very relevant ESG topic, the to improve governance and controls shall be a source of future sustainable growth. Having a pool of human capital, that is highly skilled isciplines, continued investment in IT infrastructure and having the backup of a solid shareholder base, FIMBank is well positioned to progress towards its strategic objectives in a steady, sustainable manner.
To conclude, within an environment of elevated macro uncertainty, our projections remain cautious and grounded. While reaping the benefits of the de-risking process and careful execution of structural changes, the Group is not immune to global events which could have a spectrum of different impacts. However, we remain vigilant and are prepared to rapidly adapt to market pressures and business opportunities.

From a COVID-19 perspective, the economy has shown a good recovers from the pandemic and shifts to 'business-as-usual', new macro risks have been materialising. Ongoing supply chain disruptions were exacerbated by the fallback of prevailing geopolitical tensions culminating from Rusian of Ukraine. The conflict in Ukraine has prompted management to take the appropriate steps to monitor this might have on the Group both directly and indirectly. The Group's direct exposure to Russia and Ukraine is limited, with USD1.3 million outstanding to a state-owned bank in Ukraine. Several client limits were reduced and country limits were suspended. Increased monitoring was put in place on customers that could be indirectly impacted by the war, either through their trading activity, sanctions or other general impacts. A portfolio review concluded that our clients are well positioned to absorb any impact from the current situation. We will continue to take appropriate actions as needed, to protect the quality of the Group's portfolio.
The Board of Directors confirm that, at the of approving these Condensed Interim Financial Statements, the Group is capable of continuing to operate as a going concern for the foreseeable future.
The Condensed Interim Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 18 August 2022.
The preparation of the Condensed Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires managements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation were the same as those applied to the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2021.

The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This framework includes reports to the Group's Chief Financial Officer and executive management having overseing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values. Market exposure to fair value movement is also a key function of the Group's Assets-Liabilities Committee and all valuations of financial instruments are review and approval. Significant valuation issues are reported to the Group's Audit Committee.
The Group measures fair values of an asset or liability using fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:
Level 1: inputs that are quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). This category includes assets or liabilities valued market prices in active markets for similar instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active; or other valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.
Level 3: inputs that are unobservable. This category includes all assets or liabilities for which the valuation tot based on observable data and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument's valuation. This category also includes assets or liabilities that are valued based on quoted prices for which significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments.
Valuation techniques include net present value and discounted cash flow models, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist, and other valuation models. Assumptions and inputs used in valuation techniques include risk-free and benchmark interest rates, credit spreads and other premia used in estimating discount rates, bond and equity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and expected price volatilities and correlations.
The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value measurement that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The Group uses widely recognised valuation models for determining the fair value of common and more simple financial instruments, like interest rate and currency swaps that use only observable market data and require little management and estimation. Observable prices and model inputs are usually available in the market for listed debt securities and simple over-the-counter derivatives like currency rate swaps. Availability of observable market prices and model inputs reduces the need for management judgement and estimation and, also reduces the uncertainty associated with determination of fair values. Availability of observable market prices and inputs varies depending on the products and is prone to changes based on specific events and general conditions in the financial markets.
For more complex instruments, the Group uses proprietary valuation models, which are usually developed from recognised valuation models. Some or all of the significant inputs into these models in the market and are derived from market prices or rates or are estimated based on assumptions. Example of instruments involving significant unobservable inputs include certain overthe-counter structured derivatives and securities for which there is no active market. Valuation models that employ significant unobservable inputs require a higher degreent and estimation in the determination of fair value. Management judgement and estimation are usually required for selection of the appropriate valuation model to be used, determination of expected future cash flows on the financial instrument being valued, determination of probability of counterparty default and prepayments and selection of appropriate discount rates.
Fair value estimates obtained from models are adjusted for any other factors, such as liquidity risk or model uncertainties, to the extent that the Groupbelieves that a third-party market participant would take them into acrount in pricing a transaction. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the Group entity and the counterparty where appropriate.

The below sets out information about significant unobservable inputs used at 30 June 2022 in measuring financial instruments categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The 'trading assets' portfolio represent forfaiting assets, that is the discounting of receivables generated from an a without recourse basis. The assets would be evidenced by a number of different debt instruments including bills of exchange, promissory notes, letters of credit and trade or project related syndicated and bi-lateral loan (financing) agreements.
The Group establishes fair value of its trading a valuation technique based on the discounted expected future principal and interest cash flows. The discount rate is an estimate based on current expected credit margin spreads and interest rates at the reporting date. Inputs to valuation technique reasonably represent market of risk-return factors inherent in the financial instrument.
The Group uses reference rate yield curves as of each reporting date plus an adequate credit margin spreading assets held. At 30 June 2022, the interest rates used range between 0.00% and 13.15% (31 December 2021: between 0.98% and 19.30%).
The effect of an estimated general increase of one percentage point in interest rate on trading assets at 30 June 2022 would reduce the Group's profit before tax by approximately USD582,389 (31 December 2021: USD2,835,580).
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss mainly represent holdings in two sub-fundsand a foreign holding company, as follows:
• an unlisted sub-fund of a local collective investment scheme regulated by the MFSA, which is independently run by an investment manager licensed and regulated by the Financial Condon. The sub-fund invests in sustainable energy plants with returns generated throughout the life of each plant.
The fair value is measured by the Group based on periodical net asset valuations prepared by the scheme's independent administrator. The sub-fund's assets are marked to fair marked at observable traded prices where that is possible. Where there is no observable price, the assets are marked in accordance with best market practice. This may involve the use of models and forward projections. Inputs and assumptions used in these models may be subjective and could include a number of highly judgemental uncertainties including the projected valuations of the individual plants and the future potential income from each plant.
The effect of a ten-percentage point increase/(decrease) in the net asset value of the sub-fund at 30 June 2022 would increase/(decrease) the Bank and Group equity by approximately USD1,552,567 (31 December 2021: USD1,737,699).
• an unlisted sub-fund of a local collective investment scheme regulated by the MFSA, which is independently run by an investment manager licensed and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in UK. The sub-fund investments, with relativity complex structures and limited liquidity.
The fair value is measured by the Group based on periodical net asset valuations prepared by the scheme's independent administrator. The sub-fund's assets are market value. Assets are marked at observable traded prices where that is possible. Where there is no observable price, the assets value is determined in accordance with best market practice. This may involve the use of models and forward projections. Inputs and assumptions used in these models may be subjective and could include a number of highly judgemental uncertainties including the projected valuations of the future potential income from each asset.
The effect of a ten-percentage point increase/(decrease) in the net asset value of the sub-fund at 30 June 2022 would increase/(decrease) the Bank and Group equity by approximately USD161,044 (31 December 2021: USD168,967).
· A foreign holding company registered in the State of Kuwait. The fair value is measured by the Group based on a market price quoted by a custodian.
The effect of a ten-percentage point increase) in the net asset value of the equity shares at 30 June 2022 would have increased/(decreased) the Bank and Group equity by approximately USD84,643 (31 December 2021: USD84,643),
A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, replacing some intercank offered rates ("(BOR") with alternative nearly risk-free rates ("RFR"), refern'. The Group has significant exposure to certain IBORs on its financial instruments that are being reformed as part of these market-wide initiatives.
The main risks to which the Group has been exposed as a result of IBOR reform are operational. For example, the renegotiation of Ioan contracts through bilateral negotiation with customers, updating of systems, revision of operational controls related to the reform, as well as and accounting implications and regulatory risks. Financial risk is predominantly limited to interest rate risk.
The Group established an IBOR Conversion Steering Committee to manage its transition to alternative rates. The IBOR Committee include evaluating the extent to which loan commitments, libilities, derivatives and leases reference IBOR cash flows, whether such contracts need to be amended as a result of IBOR reform and how to manage communication about BOR reform with counterparties.
The Group has engaged an external consultancy company to conduct respective impact analysis and provide strategic recommendations and best practices on how to efficiently conduct this transition. Following the recommendations received, the Group has implemented an IBOR conversion project, appointing an IBOR Conversion Steering Committee, Program Manager and Project Team, which consists of senior and experienced representatives from main areas of the Group. The respect we project plan was prepared and executed by the Project Team, who have been collaborating with other business functions as needed. The IBOR Committee provides periodic updates to the Board Review and Implementation Committee ("BRIC").
For contracts indexed to an IBOR that mature after the IBOR rate, the BOR Committee has established policies to amend the contractual terms. These amendments include the addition of fallback clauses or replacement of the IBOR rate with an alternative benchmark rate.
The Bank's risk exposure that is directly affected by the interest rate benchmantly comprises its trade finance and real estate loans, factoring agreements and its forfaiting portfolio which are measured at amortised cost or at fair value through profit or loss. Such instruments are, in the absolute majority, denominated in USD, EUR and GBP and have floating rates linked to IBOR. The value of such financial instruments in the Group is extensive, although several contracts have short term tenures which matured before the end of 2021 and therefore were not affected by the IBOR rates were available until 31 December 2021.
The IBOR Conversion Steering Committee approved a policy requiring that, with effect from 5 October 2021:
The Group initiated communication with counterparties, confirming the specific changes being implemented. The Group continues to engage with industry participants and counterparties to ensure an orderly transition to risk free risks arising from transition.
The table below sets out the IBOR rates that the Group had exposure to and the new benchmark rates to which these exposures have been or are being transitioned:
| Currency | Benchmark before reform | Benchmark after reform |
|---|---|---|
| USD | USD I IBOR | SOFR |
| EUR | FURO FURIBOR | EURIBOR reformed |
| EUR | EONIA | €STR |
| GBP | GBP LIBOR | SONIA |
In March 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), as the regulator of ICE (the authorised administrator of LIBOR), announced that after 31 December 2021 LIBOR settings for sterling, euro and the one-week and two-month US dollar settings will either cease to be provided or no longer be representative. The remaining US dollar settings will either cease to be provided or no longer be representative after 30 June 2023.

On 1 January 2022, the Group changed the business model for its long-term debt securities from "hold-to-collect and sell' to 'hold -tocollect. This has led to the reclassification of this portfolio from Financial Assets at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCl) to Financial Assets at Amortised Cost. The reclassification was done to reflect a change in the business model for managing these long-term securities such as sovereign bonds, and Malta Government Bonds, to a Held-to-Collect (HTC) business model in terms of IFRS 9.
In 2015, the Group classified these long-term securities as Available for-Sale (AFS), given the flexibility to buy and sell these bonds to meet the business needs of the Bank at the time, without recognising fluctuations in the restrictions on the Held-to-Maturity (HTM) classification under International Accounting Standards (IAS) 39, Management did not consider classifying these longterm securities as HTM out of concern that the moment a bond it would taint the entire portfolio and would require the Bank to reclassify the securities to AFS.
Over the years, the objective of this portfolio has changed and in view of this management have assessed the current circumstances which now prohibit the Bank from selling these long-term securities due to the following:
(a) the Bank has to maintain a portfolio of high-quality liquid assets for LCR purposes on an ongoing basis to meet the liquidity requirements of its Regulators; and
(b) the Bank has devoted the entire portfolio as the primary foundation in buildity buffer by pledging these securities.
Given that the business objective, practices and activities revolving around these securities have changement carried out another assessment to determine what is permissible under IFRS9. Based on the following considerations, Management concluded that the change in business model is allowed by IFRS 9:
Management also assessed and confirmed that these securities meet the following two conditions in order to be classified as financial assets at amortised cost under IFRS 9:
a. the securities held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and b. the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
Management concluded that the investments in longer meet the condition for classification at FVCC (held-tocollect and sell), not only as a consequence of the Bank to maintain certain liquidity requirements that prohibit the Bank from selling these investments but also due to a change in the resulted in a change in business model as discussed above. Hence the Bank is required to reclassify the investment portfolio to amortised cost.

At each reporting date, the Bank carries out an impairment assessment to deter, the recoverable amounts of its investments in subsidiaries (at cost) in its separate financial statements are less than their carrying amount, therefore requiring an impairment loss.
The Group carried out an assessment to detect any indication of impairment that might have existed as at 30 June 2022. This assessment was performed as an update of the test carried out in December 2021 and was carried out on the basis of the underlying performance of each subsidiary during this period.
The assessment involved a retrospective analysis to test the assumptions and projections used for the assessment carried out in December 2021. Where deviations are identified the Group updates the assumptions and projections to reflect the current conditions. Based on this assessment, it was determined that at recoverable amount of each subsidiary was higher than the carrying amount in the financial statements and therefore is no impairment loss (December 2021: USD 87,356).
The key assumptions described above may change as economic, political and market conditions change. Whilst the recoverable amount is higher than the carrying anount, any significant adverse movement in a key assumption would lead to an impairment in subsidiary.
As disclosed in Note 12, the Group has carried out an assessment to detect any indication of impairment in subsidiaries that might have existed as at 30 June 2022. The same assessment has been used to determine any indication of impairment on the goodwill recognised for India Factoring and Egypt Factors.
Based on this assessment, the recoverable amount was determined to be higher than the carrying amount of the cash generating unit. Hence, at reporting date the carrying amount of goodwill was deemed to be supported and there is no indication of an impairment loss (December 2021: Nil).
'Debt securities in issue' comprise of promissory notes. At 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021 promissory notes in issue had a tenor of up to one year. The Group's effective interest rate ranges between 1.75% (31 December 2021: 1.50% and 1.70%).
'Contingent liabilities' comprise of guarantee obligations incurred on behalf of third parties. Guarantees issued to subsidiaries amount to USD23,378,449 (31 December 2021: USD37,795,644).
As at 30 June 2022, an expected redit loss allowance, determined in accordance with IFRS 9, amounting to USD14,816 (31 December 2021: USD162,066) for the Group and USD14,816 (31 December 2021: USD161,995) for the Bank, was recognised and presented within 'provision for liabilities and charges'.

We hereby confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
Adrian A. Gostuski Chief Executive Officer
Juraj Beno Chief Financial Officer

To the Board of Directors of FIMBank p.l.c.
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim financial statements of FIMBank p.l.c (the Bank') and of the Group of which the Bank is the parent ('the Condensed Interim Financial Statements') which comprise the condensed interim statements of financial position as at 30 June 2022, and the related condensed interim statements of profit or loss, other comprehensive income, in equity and cash flows for the period then ended and notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Condensed Interim Financial Statements in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Condensed Interim Financial Statements based on our review.
This report is made solely to the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms of our engagement and is released for publication in compliance with the requirements of Listing Authority. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Board of Directors those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fulled by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Board of Directors for our review work, for the conclusions we have expressed.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the period ended 30 June 2022 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU.
The Principal authorised to sign on behalf of KPMG on the review resulting in this independent auditors' report is Thomas Galea.
