Review of performance

The Group closed the first six months with a pre-tax profit of USD4.0 million, compared to USD6.0 million in the same period of 2023. Post-tax profit was USD0.8 million, down from USD3.9 million in the first half of 2023. Operating income before net impairment was USD27.0 million, and operating expenses amounted to USD21.0 million, both of which were fairly consistent with the same period last year (June 2023: USD27.8 million and USD21.0 million, respectively). However, net impairment losses increased by USD1.2 million to reach USD2.0 million, and taxes rose by USD1.1 million to USD3.2 million compared to the period ending June 2023.

With the support of external advisors, the Group is undergoing transformational change. This process involves reassessing and challenging its business model, portfolio allocations, and subsidiary strategies, while also reducing organisational complexity and identifying investment areas. At the same time, the Group remains focused on maintaining more diversified funding and adequate liquidity. These efforts are designed to

enhance revenue generation, improve profitability, and build sustainable capital origination capabilities. As part of this transition, the Group has initiated several measures to enhance its balance sheet structure by optimising pricing and maturities on both the asset and liability sides. Consequently, the Group has reduced its balance sheet size by 18%, with the most significant decrease observed in treasury assets and liabilities. These steps are intended to improve net interest margins, capital efficiency, and liquidity management, with anticipated positive outcomes in future periods. This strategic reduction positions the Group to rebuild its balance sheet in the foreseeable future.

LFC continued its positive trajectory from 2023, achieving a post-tax profit of USD5.2 million for the first half of 2024, compared to USD4.5 million in June 2023, marking one of its best performances to date. To effectively manage the Group's capital ratios and due to the dynamic nature of LFC's portfolio, LFC strategically reduced its forfaiting portfolio by 10% from December 2023 levels. Nonetheless, the average balance for the first half of the year was 2% higher than in the same period last year. Despite the lower portfolio balances, turnover increased significantly in the first half of the year as LFC capitalised on favourable trading opportunities. Turnover of forfaiting assets, indicating the volume of deals sold or matured, directly impacts trading income. For the first half of 2024, turnover was 25% higher than in the same period last year. While the improved market environment has facilitated increased business activity, Management remains cautious of geopolitical challenges and monetary policies in key markets. Consequently, Management has adopted a more selective approach to portfolio building. In the first half of the year, India Factoring achieved a post-tax profit of USD2.1 million, an increase from USD1.2 million in June 2023. The entity expanded its factoring portfolio by 4% and grew its operating income by 12%, although operating expenses also rose by 13%. Additionally, the subsidiary reversed net impairment losses of USD1.9 million following the successful cash recovery of debts from legacy non-performing clients. Furthermore, India Factoring secured funding from a private sector bank in India, thereby reducing its dependency on the Group. As Egypt navigates challenges related to inflation, currency devaluation, and socio-political uncertainty, our subsidiary, Egypt Factors, has felt the impact of these conditions in several ways. Despite facing a devaluation of assets denominated in Egyptian pounds, higher funding costs, reduced invoice turnover, and lower portfolio volumes, the entity managed to achieve a profit of USD0.3 million in the first six months. However, this represents a decline from the USD0.6 million recorded as of June 2023. The Group has continued its efforts to align its NPL ratio with that of the European Economic Area by securing recoveries and writing off certain exposures while maintaining a stable flow of new business without generating new material NPA inflows. The Group's NPL ratio, which was 20.0% in December 2020 at the height of the pandemic, has now been reduced to 2.9%. Although the Group continues to manage a variety of

credit-related risks, Management has implemented significant tightening measures by reducing country and client limits, as well as exiting weaker credits and higher-risk geographies. While these actions have had a considerable impact on the Group's balance sheet, volumes, and profitability, Management believes this groundwork is essential for positioning the Group for sustainable growth in the future. The Group's capital position remained stable, with a Total Capital Ratio ("TCR") of 19.3%, compared to a minimum TCR requirement of 16.8%. The Group maintained a strong liquidity position throughout the period under review, with an average Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) of 361%, well above the regulatory minimum requirement and the Group's internal risk appetite level.

June 2023. The Group initiated a review of the credit risk associated with its performing assets. Although the review is still in its early stages, the Group proactively increased provisions for Stage 1 and Stage 2 performing assets by USD1.9 million, compared to a reversal of USD0.4 million recorded in June 2023. The Group recovered USD0.8 million from previously written-off debt, up from USD0.5 million during the period ended 30 June 2023. Additionally, USD3.8 million of non-performing exposures were written off (30 June 2023: USD28.0 million), with no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. These write-offs had been largely provided for in previous years. The Group retains the right to enforce, sell, or transfer the credit but has not forgiven the debt. In response to the recovery and write-off of balances, the Group reversed provisions for credit losses on legacy non-performing clients by USD6.1 million (30 June 2023: USD27.7 million). These actions, along with other measures, reduced the Non-Performing Loan (NPL) Ratio to 2.9%, well below the 5% threshold set by the MFSA in Banking Rule BR/09. However, the Group increased provisions for credit losses on other non- performing assets by USD3.3 million (30 June 2023: USD1.4 million).

Due to the increased taxable profits of the Group entities, provisions for taxation were adjusted by USD3.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 (30 June 2023: USD2.1 million). The Group utilised some of its deferred tax assets and conducted an assessment to ensure their recoverability before their expiration date. For the six months ended 30 June 2024, FIMBank Group reported a profit after tax of USD0.8 million, compared to USD3.9 million in June 2023.

Financial position As of 30 June 2024, the Group's consolidated assets amounted to USD1.29 billion, reflecting a contraction of USD291 million (18%) compared to the end of 2023. This reduction was primarily driven by a USD215 million (36%) decrease in Treasury Assets (forming part of 'Balances with the Central Bank of Malta, treasury bills and cash' and 'Loans and advances to banks'), largely due to a USD158 million decline in balances held with the Central Bank of Malta and treasury bills. Additionally, other bank deposits (forming part of 'Loans and advances to banks') and the Group's investment in bond portfolio decreased by USD31 million and USD26 million, respectively. Loans to financial institutions (forming part of 'Loans and advances to banks'), trading assets, and the trade finance portfolio (forming part of 'Loans and advances to customers') also saw reductions of USD32 million, USD28 million, and USD25 million, respectively, while factoring balances (forming part of 'Loans and advances to customers') increased by USD11 million. The Group reviewed its significant holdings, including investment property and recognized deferred tax assets, and determined that these are accurately represented in its Financial Statements. The Bank also reviewed its investments in subsidiaries and concluded that all were adequately recognised, except for its investment in Egypt Factors, which was impaired by USD1.5 million at the Bank level, during the financial period ended 30 June 2024 (Refer to Note 12). Similarly, the Group's consolidated liabilities decreased by USD291 million (21%) from the end of 2023, closing the six-month period at USD1.11 billion. The Group reduced its corporate and retail deposits (forming part of 'Amounts owed to customers') by USD119 million, and lowered wholesale funding and bank deposit funding (forming part of 'Amounts owed to institutions and banks') by USD111 million and USD52 million respectively. Debt securities in issue also decreased by USD11 million. As of the financial reporting date, the Group's total equity remained unchanged at USD179.0 million. At the end of June 2024, the Group's CET1 and CAR ratios were both 19.3% (31 December 2023: 18.3%), approximately 250 basis points above the regulatory requirement. These ratios include the impact of additional capital charges under the SREP Pillar II and MREL requirements established by the MFSA.

Principal risks and uncertainties FIMBank is a banking group offering a suite of trade finance products across the different geographies it operates in, mainly emerging markets. The risks associated with this business model are multiple and varied. Exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk arises in the normal course of the Group's business. As the Group is mainly engaged in cross-border trade finance transactions, the business performance is also impacted by the overall performance of the world economy, in particular to the level of cross-border trade between countries at varying stages of their economic development and which may not yet have achieved the level of stability of developed countries. This exposes the Group to risks of political and economic changes including volatilities to commodity prices, exchange control regulation and difficulties in preserving own legal rights. Both FIMBank and its main Group entities are exposed to such risks in different degrees based on their size and complexity. FIMBank, as the parent company, ensures that all Group entities adhere to the Group's risk, governance and compliance frameworks as updated from time to Further disclosures on the Group's principal risks and uncertainties are provided in Note 5 of the Annual Report and Financial Statements 2023 and the Pillar 3 Disclosures Report of FIMBank p.l.c, published on the Bank's website.

Outlook for the second semester of 2024 The Group remains committed to executing its strategy, pursuing business opportunities in alignment with the Board-established risk appetite and the principle of risk-adjusted returns. The Group's balance sheet has become more resilient due to the gradual resolution of legacy exposures while maintaining a healthy liquidity and capital profile. Following the initial interest rate cuts led by monetary policymakers in the EU and UK, in progress. engagement plan, and training programs.

we align with broader market expectations of further rate reductions in the second half of 2024. Anticipated customer portfolio growth is expected to be modest, consistent with our customer-centric approach and within regulatory capital requirements. The Group's strategic focus remains on business lines and geographical areas that offer superior returns and present lower risks, thereby delivering consistent value. As we simplify complex structures, our business lines are being streamlined, and our presence in Malta continues to evolve and mature. The Group remains focused on refining its strategy to pursue long-term objectives of enhancing and future-proofing shareholder value. Progress has been made on the Group's strategic transformation journey, with several initiatives already implemented and additional initiatives currently assessments, the definition of a risk appetite statement, a key risk indicators framework, updated risk policies, ESG scorecards, a client Thanks to its pool of highly skilled human capital across various disciplines, ongoing investment in technology, reduced legacy balance sheet items, and the stability provided by a strong shareholder base, the Group is well-positioned to progress steadily and sustainably toward its strategic goals.

Notes to the condensed interim financial statements For the six months ended 30 June 2024 1 Reporting entity

FIMBank p.l.c. ("the Bank") is a credit institution domiciled in Malta with its registered address at Mercury Tower, The Exchange Financial and Business Centre, Elia Zammit Street, St. Julian's, STJ3155, Malta.

The Bank and its subsidiaries, namely London Forfaiting Company Limited ("LFC"), FIMFactors B.V. ("FIMFactors"), The Egyptian Company for Factoring S.A.E. ("Egypt Factors") and FIM Property Investment Limited, are included in the scope of consolidation as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2024 and are referred to as the "Group" in these Condensed Interim Financial Statements and individually as "Group entities". office and are available for viewing on its website at www.fimbank.com/en/financial-information. FIM Business Solutions Limited On 25 January 2024, the Bank issued a Company Announcement, announcing that as part of a streamlining initiative and corporate restructuring exercise, the Bank's Board of Directors resolved to approve a merger by acquisition between the Bank, as the acquiring FIM Business Solutions Limited, was a company incorporated under the Laws of Malta, bearing company registration number C 36423 and had its registered address at Mercury Tower, the Exchange Financial & Business Centre, Elia Zammit Street, San Giljan, STJ3155. The Bank obtained regulatory approval from the Malta Financial Services Authority in relation to the Merger, which was carried out in accordance with the provisions of Part VIII, Title II of the Companies Act (Chapter 386 of the Laws of Malta). A Certificate of Registration as a Result of Amalgamation was issued by the Registrar of Companies on 24 April 2024.

The Financial Statements of the Group as at, and for the year ended, 31 December 2023 are available upon request from the Bank's registered

company, and FIM Business Solutions Limited as the company acquired (the "Merger").

Upon Merger, the Bank has succeeded to all the assets, rights, liabilities, and obligations of FIM Business Solutions Limited, which in turn, has ceased to exist. The impact of the Merger on the financial position and financial performance of the Bank wasinsignificant.

London Forfaiting Company On 23 May 2024, the directors of London Forfaiting Company Limited ("LFC") resolved to reduce the issued share capital from USD115,600,000 to USD75,600,000 by cancelling and extinguishing 40,000,000 of the issued ordinary shares of USD1.00 each in the company, each of which was fully paid up. This reduction in share capital is part of the strategic reorganisation of the Group.

2 Basis of preparation The Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting - as adopted by the European Union ("EU"). These include the comparative Statement of Financial Position as of 31 December 2023 and the comparative Statements of Profit or Loss, Statements of Other Comprehensive Income, Statements of Changes in Equity and Statements of Cash Flows for the six month period ended 30 June 2023. The Condensed Interim Financial Statements do not include all the information required for the publication of the Annual Reports and Financial Statements and therefore these Condensed Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report and Financial Statements 2023 of FIMBank p.l.c. The Board of Directors confirm that, at the time of approving these Condensed Interim Financial Statements, the Group and Bank are 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 28 August 2024.

3 Material accounting policies The Accounting Policies applied for the preparation of these Condensed Interim Financial Statements are the same as those applied in the Annual Report and Financial Statements 2023 of FIMBank p.l.c. as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023, as described in those Financial Statements. In 2024, the Group and Bank adopted the following amendments to existing standards effective for accounting periods beginning on 1 January amendments to IAS 1 – presentation of financial statements: classification of liabilities as current or non-current; amendments to IAS 7 – statements of cash flows and IFRS 7 - financial instruments disclosures: supplier finance arrangements; and amendments to IFRS 16 – leases: lease liability in a sale and leaseback.

3.1

2024, which amendments did not have a material effect on the Group's and Bank's financial statements:

-

Certain new standards and amendments to existing standards have been published by the date of authorisation of these Condensed Interim Financial Statements but are not yet effective for the current financial period beginning on 1 January 2024. Although earlier adoption is permitted, the Group and Bank have not early adopted any of the new or amended standards in preparing these Condensed Interim Financial Statements.

4 Use of judgements and accounting estimates The preparation of the Condensed Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRSs as adopted by the EU requires Management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of Accounting Policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Group's and Bank's Management also makes judgements, apart from those involving estimations, in the process of applying the Group's Accounting Policies that may have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the Financial Statements. In particular, the measurement of the expected credit losses in respect of financial investments measured at amortised cost and fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") is an area that requires the use of complex models and significant assumptions about future economic conditions and credit behaviour, requiring a number of significant judgements. In preparing these Condensed Interim Financial Statements, the significant judgements made by Management in applying the Group's Accounting Policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023.

5 Operating segments The Group identified five significant reportable segments(trade finance, forfaiting, factoring, real estate and treasury) which are represented by different Group entities. For each of the entities, Executive Management reviews internal management reports on a monthly basis. There were no differences in the basis of segmentation or in the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss from the FIMBank Group Annual Report and Financial Statements 2023.

6 Financial instruments The risks to which the Group is exposed principally relate to the Group's and Bank's banking activities and are managed by the Board of

Directors. As a result, this note presents information about the Group's and Bank's financial risk management. 6.1.1 Maximum exposure to credit risk The Group's exposure to credit risk mainly arises from its lending activities. Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial transaction might fail to fulfil an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Group finances international trade in many countries worldwide, especially emerging markets, which in turn entails an exposure to sovereign, bank and corporate credit risk. In addition, the Group's lending activities comprise the financing of real estate activities of local commercial entities. Focusing specifically on 'Loans and advances to customers', the Group has four lending portfolios: • the Local Corporate Lending portfolio, predominantly comprising loans to the real estate activities sector in Malta; • the Factoring Receivables portfolio, comprising portfolios of factored receivables (both on a non-recourse and recourse basis) in Europe, India and the Middle East; • the Trade Finance portfolio, comprising import and export finance facilities in Europe; and • a portfolio of other facilities comprising syndicated senior secured facilities to international corporates and shipping finance facilities. Credit risk is not only associated with loans but also with other on- and off- balance sheet exposures such as acceptances, money market products, letters of credit and guarantees. The Group's and Bank's maximum credit risk exposure to on and off-balance sheet financial instruments, before taking account of any collateral held or other credit enhancements, is presented in the following table. For financial assets recognised in the Statement of Financial

6.1.3 Measurement of expected credit losses The recognition and measurement of expected credit losses involves the use of significant judgement and estimation. The Group's and Bank's methodology in relation to the estimation of ECLs is described in Note 5.2.1.3 of the Annual Report and Financial Statements 2023, with the Group's and Bank's methodology in relation to the adoption and generation of economic scenarios being described in detail in Note 5.2.1.7 of the Annual Report and Financial Statements 2023. There were no changes to the ECL methodology during the period ended 30 June 2024. The Group applies three economic scenarios to capture non-linearity across portfolios in the estimation of ECLs: a base case, which is the median scenario assigned a 40% probability of occurring, and two less likely scenarios, namely an upside and a downside scenario, each assigned a 30% probability of occurrence. Moody's Analytics regularly updates the base case forecast and alternative scenarios. The upside and downside scenario represent hypothetical events that push the economy away from the base case outlook. Forecasted economic data in respect of each of the three scenarios are sourced from Moody's Analytics on a quarterly basis. The historical data in the Group's model reflects economic data published by national statistics offices and reputable third-party aggregators such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. There were no changes to the probability weightings assigned in respect of each of the three economic scenarios during the financial period ended 30 June 2024. The model applies three possible scenarios covering a wide range of possible outcomes. Each scenario assumes different economic

circumstances, including assumptions around global oil prices, the impact of the EU's embargo on Russian oil and tensions in the Middle East, supply chain problems, monetary and fiscal policy decisions, and growth levels. The main assumptions used in the model include different levels of: • geopolitical tensions, growth outlook, labour market conditions, supply chain shortages; • financial market conditions, debt sustainability, fiscal stimulus, consumer and business sentiment; • oil prices, gas supply, surging energy costs, inflation, unemployment rates, GDP rates, input prices and demand for services; and

• deposit rates, bond yields, disposable income, interbank market rates, money and bond market sentiment. As at 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023, the projected macroeconomic paths in respect of the key macroeconomic variables selected for the top five geographical regions applied in the ECL calculation across the three macroeconomic scenarios and for the five-year forecasted period from the financial year ending 30 June 2025 to 2029 (31 December 2023: 31 December 2024 to 2028) are presented in the following tables. Given that the Group and Bank present information in respect of the top five geographical regions in terms of exposure amounts at each reporting date, different countries might be presented for different financial years in order to present information which is relevant for the ECL calculation at each respective reporting date. 30 June 2024

and

'Loans and advances to customers'. Within the following tables, the line items 'New financial assets originated or purchased and further lending' and 'Financial assets that have been repaid or partially repaid' represent movements within the Group's lending portfolios in respect of gross carrying amounts and associated credit loss allowances. The former represents new lending sanctioned during the financial reporting period ended 30 June 2024. The latter reflects repayments that occurred during the financial reporting period ended 30 June 2024, which however, would only have existed on the Group's Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2023. Accordingly, repayments and disposals relating to loans sanctioned during the financial reporting period are netted off against new lending included within 'New financial assets originated or purchased and further lending'. The line items showing transfers of financial instruments across stages represent the impact of stage transfers upon the gross carrying

amount and associated allowance for ECL excluding the impact of remeasurement of ECL due to stage transfers. The 'Net remeasurement of loss allowance' represents the increase or decrease due to these transfers, for example, moving from a 12-month (Stage 1) to a lifetime (Stage 2) ECL measurement basis, including the movements in underlying credit risk grades attributable to the financial instruments transferring stage. Movements in ECL in respect of exposures classified within the same stage as at the beginning and end of the reporting period and arising as a result of changes to the underlying PDs and LGDs, including as a result of changes in macroeconomic scenarios, are reflected in the 'Changes in risk parameters' line item.

6.2.1 Valuation of financial instruments A number of the Group's Accounting Policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. 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 overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values. Market risk and related exposure to fair value movement is also a key function of the Group's Assets-Liabilities Committee and all valuations of financial instruments are reported to the Committee for review and approval. Significant valuation issues are reported to the Group's Board Audit Committee. The Group measures fair values of an asset or liability using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements: • Level 1: inputs that are quoted (unadjusted) market prices 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 using quoted 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 technique includes inputs not 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 similar instruments 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 reflects the price 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 judgement and estimation. Observable prices and model inputs are usually available in the market for listed debt securities and exchange traded derivatives and simple over-thecounter 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 the determination of fair values. Availability of observable market prices and inputs varies depending on the products and markets 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 may not be observable in the market and are derived from market prices or rates or are estimated based on assumptions. Examples of instruments involving significant unobservable inputs include certain loans and securities for which there is no active market. Valuation models that employ significant unobservable inputs require a higher degree of management judgement and estimation in the determination of fair value. Management judgement and estimation are usually required for the selection of an appropriate valuation model to be used, the determination of expected future cash flows on the financial instrument being valued, the determination of probability of counterparty default and prepayments, and the 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 Group believes that a third-party market participant would take them into account in pricing a transaction. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Group entity and the counterparty where appropriate.

6.2.3.2 Unobservable inputs used in measuring fair value The below sets out information about significant unobservable inputs used at 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023 in measuring financial

instruments categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Trading assets

The 'Trading assets' portfolio represents forfaiting assets, that is the discounting of receivables generated from an export contract on a non- 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 and Bank establish the fair value of trading assets using 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 the valuation technique reasonably represent market expectation and measures of risk-return factors inherent in the financial instrument.

The Group and Bank use the Risk Free Rates (RFRs) yield curve plus an adequate credit margin spread to discount cash flows from the trading assets held. At 30 June 2024, the interest rates used by the Group and Bank range between 5.53% and 1.59% (31 December 2023: between 5.20% and 14.47% for the Group). The effect of a one-percentage point increase/(decrease) in the interest rate on the fair value of trading assets at 30 June 2024 would increase/(decrease) the Group equity by approximately USD1,583,912 (31 December 2023: USD1,069,133) and Bank equity by USD20,164. There were no trading assets in the financial statements of the Bank as at 31 December 2023. Financial investments at fair value through profit or loss As at 30 June 2024, 'Financial investments at fair value through profit or loss' mainly represent holdings in two sub-funds, 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 Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom. 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 and Bank based on periodical net asset valuations prepared by the scheme's independent administrator. The sub-fund's assets are marked to market value. Assets are 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 assets and 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 2024 would increase/(decrease)

the Group and Bank equity by approximately USD1,623,697 (31 December 2023: USD1,694,097). • 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 the United Kingdom. The sub-fund invests in a variety of investments, with relativity complex structures and limited liquidity.

The fair value is measured by the Group and Bank based on periodical net asset valuations prepared by the scheme's independent administrator. The sub-fund's assets are marked to market value. Assets are 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 assets and 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 2024 would increase/(decrease) the Group and Bank equity by approximately USD118,037 (31 December 2023: USD169,553). other unlisted equity shares of a foreign holding company registered in Kuwait. The fair value as at 31 December 2023 is measured based on a market price quoted by a custodian. These shares were sold during the financial period ended 30 June 2024 for a consideration of USD586,224, resulting in a loss on disposal of USD55,320.

At 31 December 2023, the Group's and Bank's 'Financial investments at fair value through profit or loss' also comprised an investment in

6.2.4 Financial instruments not measured at fair value equal to the carrying amount. The approximate fair value is based on the following: • 'Balances with Central Bank of Malta, treasury bills and cash'

At 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023, the fair value of the below financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost is approximately

The majority of these assets reprice or mature in less than one hundred eighty days at 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023. Hence their fair value is not deemed to differ materially from their carrying amount at the respective reporting dates. • 'Loans and advances to banks' and 'Loans and advances to customers' Loans and advances to banks and customers are reported net of allowances to reflect the estimated recoverable amounts as at the financial reporting date. More than 80% of the Group's and Bank's loans and advances to banks and customers are all repayable within a period of less than 12 months and the interest is re-priced to take into account changes in benchmark rate. As a result, the carrying

amount of loans and advances to banks and customers is a reasonable approximation of fair value. • 'Financial investments at amortised cost' At 30 June 2024, 'financial investments at amortised cost' represent the Group's and Bank's debt instruments portfolio which is largely comprised of investments in bonds issued by the governments of countries in the European Union and European banks, which are held primarily for liquidity management. The fair value of financial investments at amortised cost amounted to USD11,097,891 (31 December 2023: USD28,200,233). The fair value is derived using quoted market prices under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. • 'Amounts owed to institutions and banks', 'Amounts owed to customers' and 'Debt securities in issue' The majority of these liabilities reprice or mature in less than one year. Hence their fair value is not deemed to differ materially from their carrying amount at the respective reporting dates. Interest rates on the Group's 'Debt securities in issue' are disclosed in Note 13. 6.2.5 Non-financial instruments measured at fair value Property', are measured at fair value. All the recurring property fair value measurements use significant unobservable inputs and are accordingly categorised within Level 3 of the fair valuation hierarchy.

The Group's freehold land and premises and improvement to premises, within 'Property and equipment', as well as the Group's 'Investment

Land and buildings and investment properties are revalued by an independent, professionally qualified architect. Valuations of land and buildings are done using the 'investment income approach' whereby market value is derived by capitalising at an appropriate yield rate, the annual income produced, should the property be leased out to third parties. The income is based on actual rental income as per current lease agreements. To determine the reasonableness of the actual rates being used, a comparison is then drawn between the actual rates and rental rates of other properties, taking cognisance of the location, size, layout, and planning and energy performance considerations. The land and premises and investment property were last revalued on 31 December 2023. The underlying assumptions and inputs to the derivation of the estimated fair value are disclosed in Notes 28.2 and 29.2 of the Annual Report and Financial Statements 2023. No significant changes in key assumptions and inputs, that would require a revaluation, were observed during the financial period ended 30 June 2024.

Finally, during the six-month period ended 30 June 2024, the Senior Management of Egypt Factors revised the financial projections of the subsidiary for the upcoming five years downward, which was deemed to represent an impairment trigger requiring an adjustment to the key assumptions applied in the impairment assessment of Egypt Factors. In this respect, it was determined that as at 30 June 2024, the recoverable amount of this subsidiary was lower than the carrying amount, resulting in an impairment loss amounting to USD1,500,000, being recognised in the Bank's Statement of Profit or Loss. For additional details in respect of the underlying assumptions, please refer to Note 12.2 below.

At each reporting date, the Bank conducts an assessment to detect any indication of impairment in its investments in subsidiaries. If an indication of impairment is detected, the Bank performs an impairment assessment to determine whether the recoverable amount of the investment in that subsidiary is less than the carrying amount. If it is, an impairment charge would be required. During the first semester of 2024, the Bank performed an assessment to identify any impairment triggers based on the underlying performance of each subsidiary. This involved a retrospective analysis to test the effectiveness of the assumptions and projections used in the assessment as at 31 December 2023. Where an indication of impairment was present, the Group updated the assumptions and projections to reflect current conditions. Based on this assessment, it was determined that, as of 30 June 2024, the recoverable amount of each subsidiary was higher than the carrying amount in the financial statements, with the exception of Egypt Factors. Egypt Factors It was determined that, as of the reporting date, the recoverable amount of Egypt Factors was lower than the carrying amount of the investment. Consequently, an impairment loss of USD1,500,000 was recognised in the Bank's Statement of Profit or Loss during the period ended 30 June 2024, resulting in a total accumulated impairment of USD10,354,194.

Financial projections Financial projections for a five-year period form the basis for discounted cash flow analysis used to determine 'value-in-use'. These projections are based on expectations of future outcomes based on past experience, adjusted for a revenue cumulative annual growth rate of 1.3% (31 December 2023: 3.8%). Revenue growth is projected by taking into consideration the updated business model of the entity and the estimated growth over the projection period. Terminal value The terminal value, or the value attributed to the CGU beyond the explicit forecast period, is estimated using a 'Gordon Growth Model'. This determination assumes a long-term growth rate of 3.0% as at 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: 3.0%), which is considered appropriate considering the industry and economy growth estimates. Discount rate

The 'value-in-use' estimate requires the application of an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risks of the cash flows. As the valuation discounts cash flows available to equity holders, the valuation model adopts the 'cost of equity' as the discount rate. IAS 36 requires pre-tax

cash flows to be discounted using pre-tax discount rate. As at 30 June 2024, the discount rate for the CGU is 19.89% (31 December 2023: 21.46%). The discount rate (representing the cost of equity) applied on valuation date, is based on the rate of 20-year US Government bonds (31 December 2023: 20-year US Government bonds) representing the functional currency and equity of the company, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect both the increased risk of investing in equities generally and the systemic risk of the specific entity. Valuation risks The key assumptions described above may change as economic, political, and market conditions evolve. While the carrying amounts of the subsidiaries are in line with the recoverable amounts or have been updated to reflect the recoverable amounts, any significant adverse movement in a key assumption could lead to an impairment of the investment in a subsidiary.

ultimate contribution to the industry as a result of a collapse cannot be estimated reliably. It is dependent on various uncertain factors including the potential recovery of assets by the DCS, changes in the level of protected products (including deposits and investments) and the population of DCS members at the time. At 30 June 2024, assets pledged in favour of the DCS comprised of cash collateral amounting to USD3,065,823 (31 December 2023: USD2,811,005). The cash collateral is classified within 'Other assets' in the Statement of Financial Position. A contingent liability for an identical amount is disclosed in the table above to reflect the possibility that this commitment becomes payable.

In addition, in accordance with article 70(3) of Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2014 establishing uniform rules and a uniform procedure for the resolution of credit institutions and certain investment firms in the framework of a Single Resolution Mechanism and a Single Resolution Fund and amending Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010, the available financial means of the SRF may include irrevocable payment commitments which are fully backed by unencumbered collateral of low-risk assets. The share of irrevocable payment commitments cannot exceed 30% of the total amount of contributions. At 30 June 2024, irrevocable payment commitments to the SRF amounted to USD431,596 (31 December 2023: USD445,474).

18 Comparative information As explained in Note 25.2 of the Group's Annual Report and Financial Statements 2023, during the financial year ended 31 December 2022, the Group and Bank changed the business model for its long-term debt securities from 'hold-to-collect-and-sell' to 'hold-to-collect', leading to the reclassification of this portfolio from 'Financial investments at fair value through other comprehensive income' to 'Financial investments 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, corporate bonds, and Malta Government Bonds, to a 'held-to-collect' business model in terms of IFRS 9. The Group and Bank based its decision on professional advice, industry practice and information available at the time. In this respect, 'Financial investments at fair value through other comprehensive income' amounting to USD161,611,818 were reclassified to 'Investments at amortised cost' on 1 January 2022. During the financial year ended 31 December 2023, this position was reconsidered by Management in the context of developments in market interpretations of IFRS 9 requirements in relation to reclassifications of financial instruments between different classification and

measurement categories. In this respect, Management reperformed the assessment relating to the reclassification of this portfolio of financial instruments in the context of these developments. Based on this assessment, the Group and Bank concluded that the reclassification criteria emanating from IFRS 9 are no longer deemed to have been met during the financial year ended 31 December 2022. Accordingly, Management has decided to reverse the effects of the reclassification on the Group's and Bank's Statements of Financial Position. The comparative financial information presented within the Group's and Bank's Statements of Profit or Loss and Statements of Comprehensive Income has been restated to apply this reversal retrospectively. In respect of comparative balances as at 1 January 2023, the restatements have been disclosed within the FIMBank Group's Annual Report and Financial Statements 2023, specifically in Note 4 and Note 25.2. The Group published unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements as at and for the period ended 30 June 2023. Following the restatements to the balances as at and for the period ended 30 June 2023. The effect of the reversal of the reclassification effected in 2022 on the Statements of Profit or Loss for the financial period ended 30 June 2023 is summarised below: Group and Bank – 30 June 2023 as previously Impact of 30 June 2023

In addition to the above, as explained in Note 4 of the Group's Annual Report and Financial Statements 2023, during the financial year ended 31 December 2023, Management re-assessed its financial reporting practices in relation to the presentation of certain interest income and expense in accordance with the requirements emanating from IFRS 9 as well as the presentation of fee and commission income and expense in accordance with the requirements emanating from IFRS 15. In this respect, certain elements of fee and commission income and expense which were previously presented as part of the Group's 'Net fee and commission income/(expense)' in the Statement of Profit or Loss were reclassified to 'Net interest income' given that it was determined that these should be reflected as an integral part of the effective interest rate in accordance with IFRS 9. In this respect, these amounts have been reclassified to 'Net interest income' in the comparative financial information presented within the Group's and Bank's Statements of Profit or Loss and Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Independent auditor's review report

Report on review of condensed interim financial information

Introduction

To the Board of Directors of FIMBank p.l.c. We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated and stand-alone interim statements of financial position of FIMBank p.l.c. as at 30 June 2024 and the related condensed consolidated and stand- alone interim statements of profit or loss, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended and explanatory notes ("the condensed interim financial information"). The directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as adopted by the EU applicable to interim financial reporting (International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed interim financial information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, 'Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity'. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A 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

Scope of review

condensed interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for FIMBank p.l.c. and for no other purpose. We do not, in producing this report, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.
