CORPORATE SUMMARY (CONTINUED)EJF INVESTMENTS LIMITED

Significant Events during the Period

Manager's continued reinvestment of management fee into the Company's Ordinary Shares

In June 2024, the Manager informed the Board that with effect from 1 July 2024, it would discontinue its policy to voluntarily absorb a percentage of the recurring operating expenses of the Company and instead it would reinvest up to 20% of the management fee earned from the Company for the immediately preceding quarter in Ordinary Shares, for so long as the average share price during the prior quarter traded at least 15% below the NAV per share at the prior quarter end. In line with its new policy, the Manager reinvested approximately 20% of its management fee in Ordinary Shares for the four consecutive quarters up to Q2 2025.

In June 2025, the Manager informed the Board that for at least the next four consecutive quarters (Q3 2025 to Q2 2026) it would reinvest an amount equal to approximately 10% of the management fee in Ordinary Shares on the same terms as before. The Manager may elect to continue with this program beyond Q2 2026 and will announce any such decision in the future. As at the date of this report, EJF Capital Limited, an affiliate of the Manager, has reinvested its management fee via the purchase of a total of 172,308 Ordinary Shares.

Rollover Offer, Initial Placing and ZDP Placing Programme

In April 2025, the Company issued a prospectus offering up to 28 million new 2029 ZDP Shares, comprised of a rollover offer to existing 2025 ZDP Shareholders to convert their shares into 2029 Rollover ZDP Shares, and an initial placing of additional 2029 ZDP Shares. Following this, the Company converted 7,982,227 2025 ZDP Shares into 2029 ZDP Shares at a conversion price of £1.3909 per share. 2029 ZDP Shares were issued at a Gross Redemption Yield of 8.5% with a redemption value of 145.48 pence per share. An aggregate of 17,001,593 2029 ZDP Shares had been issued up to 30 June 2025, with the capacity for the Company to issue an additional 10,998,407 shares. Further in May 2025, in order to simplify the Company's capital structure and following the completion of the Rollover Offer and Initial Placing as above, the Company announced that it was bringing forward the repayment date for the Company's 2025 ZDP Shares to 14 May 2025. All remaining 2025 ZDP Shares were repaid as a result.

AGM

The 2025 AGM was held on 24 June 2025. All resolutions tabled were duly passed by Shareholders, averaging 99.8% of total votes cast all in favour.

Related Parties

Related party balances and transactions are disclosed in note 17.

Going Concern

The Directors have performed a detailed assessment of the Company's ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the period of at least twelve months from the date of approving the unaudited condensed interim financial statements, including evaluating severe but plausible downside scenarios of a significant reduction in the liquidity and cash flow generation of its investments. The assessment was completed with reference to the cash position of the Group, the Company's operating expenses and the potential default risk of the investments held.

In light of the assessment, the Directors are satisfied that, at the time of approving the unaudited condensed interim financial statements, there is a reasonable expectation that based on the Company's performance and the future prospects of the Company, it will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the unaudited condensed interim financial statements and have therefore prepared the unaudited condensed interim financial statements on a going concern basis.

EJF INVESTMENTS LIMITEDCHAIR'S STATEMENT

Introduction

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the Interim Report for the period from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025.

Performance and Portfolio Activity

While the currency environment in the first half of 2025 was very challenging (principally precipitated by the tariff policies of the Trump administration and resultant strengthening of Sterling against the USD), we are very pleased with the strength and performance of the underlying portfolio holdings. The strong performance of the Company's portfolio generated a 7.91% return, but these gains were more than offset by volatility in the currency market and FX losses of 7.82%, producing a net negative Total Return of 2.44%.

Notwithstanding these currency challenges and its impact on Total Return, the Company continued to deliver on its cash dividend commitments to its Shareholders, paying 5.35p per share over the first half of the year, an Annualised Dividend Yield of 9.1% for the period.

Portfolio highlights for the period include:

  • 7.95% gains from Securitisation and Related Investments, of which 1.01% was attributable to an increase in the CDO Manager valuation following closing of the TFINS 2025-1 transaction in March 2025 (EJF's eleventh risk retention investment). Each time EJF sponsors a new securitisation, there is the opportunity for the CDO Manager to negotiate an increased management fee and in the first half of 2025, this led to an increase in the value of the CDO Manager interests held by the Company.
  • EJF sold the remainder of the Company's MSR portfolio, recording a 0.48% loss for the period. Over the life of its MSR portfolio investment, the Company realised an IRR in excess of 20%.
  • In June, the Company invested USD 6m in its third Credit Risk Transfer ("CRT") transaction. This brings the percentage of CRT positions to 7.6% of gross assets, in line with our expectation that CRTs will provide an attractive and growing opportunity for the Company.

Given that the portfolio is principally in US investments and therefore denominated in USD, the Manager hedges a portion of this exposure to reduce the impact of overall FX movements. As at 30 June 2025, 49.0% of the underlying USD exposure was hedged.

Corporate Activity

During the period, the Company issued a rollover offer to 2025 ZDP Shareholders to convert their shares into 2029 Rollover ZDP Shares, as well as an initial placing of additional 2029 ZDP Shares. Approximately 17 million 2029 ZDP Shares had been issued at the end of June, at a Gross Redemption Yield of 8.5% with a redemption value of 145.48 pence per share. 2025 ZDP Shares not participating in the rollover were repaid in May.

The Board believes the 2029 ZDP Shares are an attractively priced source of capital for the Company and continues to focus on attracting further buyers of 2029 ZDP Shares. Following the period end, the Company listed an additional block of 4.7 million ZDP Shares, which may be issued pari passu with outstanding 2029 ZDP Shares to satisfy market demand as and when market conditions permit. As of 29 September 2025, an additional 1,500,000 2029 ZDP Shares have been issued.

Tender Offer

We remain very pleased with historical and ongoing performance of the Company; from inception in 2017 to end July 2025, the Company has nearly doubled the capital of its Shareholders, providing a Total Return (inclusive of dividends) of 97.79%.

EJF INVESTMENTS LIMITED CHAIR'S STATEMENT (CONTINUED)

Against the backdrop of this strong performance, the Board and the Manager continue to be concerned with the Share price discount to NAV, and remain vigilant in our efforts to narrow that discount.

Although the Board and the Manager have taken constructive steps to narrow the discount meaningfully over the past 12 months (and the discount has indeed narrowed from c.31% to c.21% in that period), the Board is determined that the Company's Ordinary Shares trade closer to Net Asset Value. The most recent step to that end was the announcement of a tender offer on 1 September 2025 (please see the tender documents subsequently issued on 12 September 2025), comprising of a tender offer for up to 5% of Ordinary Shares at a 5% discount to the Company's 31 August 2025 Net Asset Value per share (adjusted for the costs of the tender offer).

While the Board believes this tender is the next best step to accelerate the narrowing of the Company's trading discount, we will continue to evaluate additional measures to achieve that objective.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The Directors have carried out a robust review and assessment of the emerging and principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company, a summary of which, including any changes from 31 December 2024, can be found on pages 14 to 17.

Outlook

Across my 30 years of experience in the asset management space, I have found there are times that certain asset classes provide particularly attractive risk-reward profiles and the potential for outsized returns.

For smaller banks in the United States, I believe this is one of those times. There are very favourable tailwinds in the regulation of financial services generally, and smaller banks particularly. With the easing of regulatory constraints on bank mergers and acquisitions in the new US administration, the prospect of meaningful consolidation provides an opportunity for substantial returns.

Given its great experience in this space, and its expertise in "regulatory trades" (such as CRTs and securitisations) that generate coupons in the mid-teens, I am confident the Manager is uniquely well-positioned to realise those returns. With a 97% total return in the eight years since inception in April 2017, the Manager has demonstrated its ability to do just that, almost doubling the capital of our Shareholders — and the opportunities in the US banking sector appear more compelling than ever.

If you are interested in more information on these compelling opportunities, please note that the Manager will be hosting webinars regarding the Company and its performance and operations on 1 October 2025 and 2 October 2025. Details on how to register for these webinars can we found on the Company's website here (https://www.ejfi.com/rns-announcements/).

We sincerely thank our Shareholders for your ongoing support and look forward to future opportunities to engage with you.

John Kingston III Chair Date: 29 September 2025

MANAGER'S REPORT

We are pleased to present our review for the period ended 30 June 2025.

The Company's underlying portfolio provided consistent returns, allowing the Company to continue to meet its Target Dividend. The Total Return for the period was a loss of 2.44%. Annualised Total Return since inception was 8.17%, consistent with the Company's Target Return of 8-10% p.a. As the Chair mentions in his statement, the underlying portfolio returns of 7.95% during the period were largely offset by FX losses of 7.82%. There have been no reported underlying defaults during the period.

Portfolio Update and Investment Activity.

The Portfolio continues to perform in line with expectations from an income yield perspective. Please see chart below for portfolio composition (£ millions) as at 31 December 2024 and 30 June 2025.

Securitisation and Related Investments represented approximately 69.4% of the Group's assets as of 30 June 2025. Of which:

  • CDO Equity Tranches that represent approximately 60.4% of the Group's assets as of 30 June 2025, have underlying exposure to debt issued by US banks and insurance companies and are managed by an affiliate of EJF Capital LLC.
  • As of 30 June 2025, through its investment in seven CDO Equity Tranches, the Group had exposure to 346 debt instruments issued by 152 US banks and 31 insurance company unique issuers.
  • The Group also holds 6 mezzanine debt securities of securitisations sponsored by EJF which represent 4.1% of the Group's assets as of 30 June 2025.
  • The remainder of the portfolio consisted of an interest in the CDO Manager (that earns management fee for providing collateral management services to various CDO structures) and a TruPs CDO which represented approximately 4.1% and 0.9% of Group's assets, respectively.
  • In March 2025, the Group closed its eleventh risk retention investment, TFINS 2025-1. The transaction was priced and committed on 13 February 2025 and closed on 7 March 2025. Significantly, the 2025-1 transaction essentially converted the yield on the CDO Equity Tranche of 2017-2, which was called as part of the transaction, from approximately 11% to approximately 16%, due to the higher yields on the new collateral included in 2025- 1, as well as increased leverage on the 2025-1 structure and the tighter spreads on the new securitisation's debt (i.e., cheaper financing of the newly re-levered collateral). In addition, the 2025-1 transaction included higher management fee (30bps vs. 10bps) that accrues to the benefit of the Company for the duration of the new securitisation.

Geographic Diversification of Bank and Insurance Debt Exposure

Below is a summary of geographic diversification of US bank and insurance company debt based on the headquarters of the underlying collateral issuers in the seven CDO Equity Tranches held by the Company as at 30 June 2025:

Specialty Finance Investments represented approximately 0.7% of the Group's assets as at 30 June 2025.

• Specialty Finance Investments was comprised solely of the customary holdback on MSRs. In March 2025, prior to the tariff tumult and resulting decline in the 10-year US Treasuries (which impact mortgage and prepayment rates), the Group sold its MSR portfolio to a third-party buyer. The Group in line with its expectations received the majority of the proceeds (subject to customary holdbacks) from the sale by the end of April 2025. Due to a delay in customary regulatory approvals, it is now estimated that the sale of the MSR portfolio will complete in October 2025 and remaining cash will be received shortly thereafter.

Investments in CRTs represented approximately 7.6% of the Group's assets as of 30 June 2025.

  • In the month of May 2024, the Company invested c. USD 1m through a cross-trade with a fund managed by an affiliate of the Manager in a CRT bond bearing an interest rate of SOFR plus 15.50%. The bond was issued by a special purpose vehicle containing a pool of nursing home development loans originated by a small US bank with about USD 16bn in assets.
  • In July 2024, the Company invested USD 5m, in its second CRT, with a current yield of 11.90%. This was part of a USD 86m credit linked note ("CLN") issued for a CRT executed by a US regional bank located in the Southeast US. This transaction referenced a USD 1.7 billion portfolio of prime jumbo residential mortgages and was originated and underwritten by EJF. To our knowledge, this deal represented the first CRT transaction referencing a residential mortgage pool by a US bank with less than USD 100 billion in assets.
  • During June 2025, the Group invested in its third CRT transaction which is estimated to yield 15.85% p.a with an expected duration of 2.75 years. This investment was part of a USD 150 million securitisation transaction for Third Coast Bank, a Texas banking association and wholly owned bank subsidiary of Third Coast Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: TCBX). The transaction was secured by interest in a portfolio of commercial real estate loans originated by the bank. Certain funds managed by EJF invested an aggregate of USD 22.5m in the first loss tranche of the securitisation, USD 6m of which was invested by the Group.

The Group also held two US Treasuries which represented approximately 1.3% of the Group's assets as at 30 June 2025. One US Bank Debt position held as at 31 December 2024 was sold to TFINS 2025-1 for USD 1.97m in February 2025.

Post Period End Investment Activity

Following the period end, the Group invested in a pre-Global Financial Crisis era bank TruPS CDO ("USCAP4") alongside other EJF managed funds and accounts with a goal of acquiring the underlying collateral in order to resecuritise it in EJF's next securitisation deal ("TFINS 2025-2"). The Group received its original investment with a return of USD1.8m (c.22% gain on net initial investment of USD8.2m) in September 2025 following the close of TFINS 2025- 2 as detailed below.

On 18 September 2025, the Company via its subsidiary invested in the CDO Equity Tranche of TFINS 2025-2, a securitisation sponsored by EJF. The Company's total investment in TFINS 2025-2 was approximately USD18.9m. This was funded using proceeds of USD12.8m received from the Company's investment in the CDO Equity Tranche of TFINS 2019-1, which was called at the same time, USD2m of proceeds from the redemption at par of its mezzanine debt investment in TFINS 2019-1 and net additional cash of USD4.1m. The Manager believes that the investment in TFINS 2025-1 will generate approximately 18% yield to maturity.

Risk Management

We believe the portfolio contains a selection of diversified borrowers within the context of its financial institution focused mandate. Our credit team conducts regular surveillance on issuer financial and business profiles and the broader portfolio and there were no defaults during the period on the underlying securitisation collateral positions.

The Group's functional currency is denominated in Sterling although most of the Group's investments are denominated in USD. Under an approved authority from the Board, we hedge a portion of this exposure. As at 30 June 2025, USD 71.7m of approximately USD 146.2m exposure was hedged. As a result of Sterling movement against the USD during the period, the Group recorded an FX loss (including a loss incurred at EJFIH level) of 7.82% for the period.

Market Update and Outlook

US Insurance Market

The US insurance sector showed a mixed performance in the first half of 2025: Life Insurance companies started the year strongly on optimism around lighter regulation, M&A prospects, and supportive Treasury yields, but underperformed in Q2 as enthusiasm for elevated rates faded and concerns around reinvestment yields grew, while P&C insurers outperformed through the half year, supported by favourable underwriting results, firm pricing, rising investment yields, and broader "risk-on" sentiment that reinforced investor confidence.

US Bank Market

In many ways, the 2023 so-called "Regional Bank Crisis" posed almost as many challenges to the Company's small bank strategy as the Great Financial Crisis. Small bank valuations plummeted in the public markets and valuations of small bank issued debt correspondingly dropped, even if not warranted by standard measures of default risk. Banks stopped issuing subordinated debt during this period and the securisation market for small bank and insurance debt dried up, perhaps the largest risk the Manager faces in executing the Company's primary investment mandate.

Matters have dramatically changed since then, especially after the election of President Donald Trump and the Republican sweep of both houses of Congress. From a regulatory perspective, the key change has been the personnel appointed by Trump (and consented to by the Senate) for regulatory banking positions and the tone those regulators have set. In terms of the US Federal Reserve, Trump (as noted above) elevated Michelle Bowman to Vice Chair of Supervision. Bowman is a former community banker and she has articulated the need to regulate smaller banks differently than much larger, systemically important banks (GSIBs), including taking into account their simpler lending businesses and balance sheets. Trump also named Travis Hill as interim Chairman of the FDIC, the primary regulator of small banks overseeing subordinated debt issuance and M&A approvals. Hill signaled almost immediately the new administration's embrace of M&A in the small bank sector. This new regulatory tone is significant for small banks as two of the last four years have seen the fewest mergers since the 1990s due to the combination of the COVID-19 pandemic, March 2023 bank failures and the impact of higher interest rates. EJF expects M&A deal activity to rebound dramatically as interest rates decline and regulatory burdens ease. These appointments to key regulatory positions have resulted in almost previously unthinkable mergers of large super-regional banks such as Capital One and Discover, and Huntington Bank's acquisition of Texas bank, Veritex, but also M&A in the small bank sector. Indeed, total transaction value for 2024 was nearly four times that of 2023 and total transaction value in the first seven months of 2025 was 32% higher than all of 2024. Notably, all of this M&A activity has taken shorter time frames from the initial announcement of an intent to merger to the closing of the mergers.

From the perspective of the Company, M&A has led to the creation of larger, potentially more creditworthy institutions which can lead to price appreciation of subordinated debt held through EJFI's securitisation equity positions. As important has been the greater issuance volume of subordinated debt beginning in 2024. One reason banks have issued more subordinated debt is to raise regulatory capital levels in anticipation of a merger transaction. All subordinated debt issuance must be approved by regulators and heightened levels of capital are required to obtain regulatory approval for M&A. As the Federal Reserve began a cutting cycle, which EJF believes the Fed will following the cut in September 2025, banks are issuing subordinated debt again. Subordinated debt typically has a 10-year maturity with a 5-year non-call feature, after which the instrument typically turns to a floating rate bond and starts to lose regulatory capital treatment. Banks typically look to call these bonds as the fifth year approaches, thereby shortening duration. Issuance volume was at a peak in 2020-21 – when interest rates were historically very low --- and EJF expects a refinance wave over the next two years as the instruments start to lose regulatory capital treatment. EJF believes the refinancing wave will provide an opportunity to deploy capital at historically high yields and offer potential excess returns via call date optionality.

The recent issuance by EJF of its TFINS 2025-1 securitisation in March 2025 at the highest yields (approximately 16% yield to maturity for the equity tranche purchased by the Company) since the TFINS platform began 10 years ago underscores the opportunity set. TFINS 2025-2 was priced at even higher yields (approximately 18% yield to maturity) which closed in September 2025. Significantly, these two securitisations should be followed by more this year as demand for the rated tranches has increased and the size of these transactions have also increased, leading to higher CDO management fee revenue for the Company through its 49% interest in EJF CDO Manager LLC. EJF believes that there is a not insignificant correlation between the regulatory backdrop and the notable (1) increase in demand for TFINS rated paper and (2) opening of the securitisation market generally.

The Manager has never been more bullish on the Company's strategy. The bank subordination debt strategy, modestly leveraged through the securitisation market, has incredible tailwinds. In addition, the augmentation of that strategy with the emerging Credit Risk Transfer (CRT) transactions by small banks, makes the Company's shares look attractive, especially given that they are trading at a wide discount. It should be noted that the Manager has renewed its commitment to continue to invest in the Company's shares and will do so using 10% of its management fee over the next four quarters. The CRT transactions have yields ranging from 13-18%. They also provide diversity of exposure to different loan asset classes such as residential mortgage, CRE and subsidized low income housing. Finally, the CRT transactions reduce the direct exposure of the Company to small bank credit.

EJF INVESTMENTS LIMITED STATEMENT OF PRINCIPAL RISKS

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

In reviewing the Principal Risks for the period, the Directors have carried out an assessment of the risk factors that they consider the Company to be exposed to.

As a result of such assessment, the Directors have determined that the Principal Risks relating to the Company that were disclosed in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024, and are summarised below, are unchanged and are expected to remain relevant to the Company for the remaining six months of its financial year. The Directors do not consider there to be any emerging risks or uncertainties.

Principal Risks
Strategic

Changesin the Geopolitical and Macro-economic Environment

Changes to global geopolitical and macro-economic conditions may adversely impact the Company's investment performance, the availability of investment opportunities, the Manager's ability to source and securitise investments, and prevent the Company from meeting its Investment Objective.

Changes in Law, Tax and Regulation Reduces Investment Opportunities or Underminesthe Group's Legal, Tax or Regulatory Structure

The Group is subject to regulations enacted by national and local governments, changes to which may reduce the investment opportunities available or undermine or invalidate the structure of tax, legal or regulatory rationale and make it difficult to pursue the Investment Policy.

Availability of Cash for Investment Opportunities and Payment of Liabilities

The Company requires regular ongoing funding and available cash to be in a position to take full advantage of investment opportunities as and when they arise, along with meeting liabilities as and when they fall due. The risk of the Company having insufficient cash to meet investment opportunities continues to be a Principal Risk due to several factors:

  • (i) the potential for the volatility of Sterling to require unencumbered cash to be used to meet margin calls on the currency hedge;
  • (ii) the Ordinary Share price discount to NAV and difficulty in raising capital;
  • (iii) the complex nature of the underlying Portfolio can deter potential investors; and
  • (iv) the challenges that the UK listed investment companies sector continues to experience.

Dependency on the Manager

To successfully pursue its Investment Objective, the Company is dependent on the Manager and the Manager's ability to retain and recruit staff. The loss of a small number of key individuals in key roles at the Manager could adversely impact the ability of the Manager to meet the Investment Objective.

Principal Risks
Investments

Valuation Risk

The nature of the Group's investments makes them inherently difficult to value compared to more liquid investments due to the number of assumptions involved. Furthermore, a general market collapse and/or a seizingup of credit markets may render it difficult to price certain investments with any degree of accuracy, or at all.

Credit Risk

The value of the Group's investments may be impacted by adverse credit events with recovery of initial investments being lengthy and uncertain.

EJF INVESTMENTS LIMITED STATEMENT OF PRINCIPAL RISKS (CONTINUED)

Operational

Dependency on Service Providers

The Company is dependent on the ability of all its service providers for the successful management and administration oftheCompany's affairs. Thisincludes a relianceon the strength oftheirinternal controls,their ability to retain and recruit sufficient appropriately qualified and experienced staff and their cyber security, data protection and business continuity planning controls and framework.

Emerging Risks and Uncertainties

The Directors do not consider there to be any emerging risks or uncertainties.

EJF INVESTMENTS LIMITED STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS'RESPONSIBILITIES

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Interim Report in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS'REVIEW REPORT TO EJF INVESTMENTS LIMITED

Conclusion

We have been engaged by EJF Investments Limited (the "Company") to review the unaudited condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2025 which comprises Unaudited Condensed Statement of Comprehensive Income, Unaudited Condensed Statement of Financial Position, Unaudited Condensed Statement of Changes in Equity and Unaudited Condensed Statement of Cash Flow and the related notes 1 to 21 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements. We have read the other information contained in the half yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the unaudited condensed set of financial statements.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the unaudited condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2025 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" (ISRE) issued by the Financial Reporting Council. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, 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 (UK) 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.

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") . The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Conclusions Relating to Going Concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for Conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that management have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that management have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed.

This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with this ISRE, however future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

Responsibilities of the directors

The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS'REVIEW REPORT TO EJF INVESTMENTS LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Auditor's Responsibilities for the review of the financial information

In reviewing the half-yearly report, we are responsible for expressing to the Company a conclusion on the unaudited condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions Relating to Going Concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of this report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

2. Statement of Compliance

The unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company for the period from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board, together with applicable legal and regulatory requirements of the Companies Law and the Listing Rules of the SFS.

The unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024, which was prepared in accordance with IFRS. As required by the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the FCA, the unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared applying the accounting policies and presentation that were applied in the preparation of the Company's published financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

EJF INVESTMENTS LIMITED NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY 2025 TO30 JUNE 2025

2. Statement of Compliance (continued)

Going Concern (continued)

The Directors have performed a detailed assessment of the Company's ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the period of at least twelve months from the date of approving the unaudited condensed interim financial statements, including evaluating severe but plausible downside scenarios of a significant reduction in the liquidity and cash flow generation of its investments. The assessment was completed with reference to the cash position of the Group, the Company's operating expenses and the potential default risk of the investments held.

In light of the assessment, the Directors are satisfied that, at the time of approving the unaudited condensed interim financial statements, there is a reasonable expectation that based on the Company's performance and the future prospects of the Company, it will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the unaudited condensed interim financial statements and have therefore prepared the unaudited condensed interim financial statements on a going concern basis.

3. Material Accounting Policies

There have been no changesto the material accounting policiesfromthose applied in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024 and as set out in note 2 therein.

4. Use of Judgements and Estimates

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, the Board is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The critical judgements and estimations at the unaudited condensed statement of financial position date that the Directors have made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the unaudited condensed interim financial statements are as set out in note 3 of the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

There have been no changes to the critical accounting judgements and estimates from those applied in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

5. Segmental Reporting

IFRS 8 requires a "management approach", under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes.

The Board has considered the requirements of IFRS 8 and is of the view that the Company is engaged in a single segment of business via its investment in EJFIH mainly in one geographical area, Jersey, and therefore the Company has only a single operating segment.

3During the period, EJFIH entered into a letter of intent to sell its MSR portfolio to a third-party buyer. EJFIH, in line with its expectations, received the majority of the proceeds (subject to customary holdbacks) from the sale by the end of April 2025 and the remaining amount represents customary holdback. Due to a delay in customary regulatory approvals, it is now estimated that the sale of the MSR portfolio will complete in October 2025 and remaining cash will be received shortly thereafter.

15. Financial Risk Management

As at 30 June 2025, there has been no change to the Company's financial risk management objectives and policies to those disclosed in note 15 of the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

This section should be read in conjunction with note 15 of the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024 which provides more detail about accounting policies adopted, the definitions of the three levels of fair value hierarchy, valuation methods used in calculating fair value, and the valuation framework which governs oversight of valuations. There have been no changes in the accounting policies adopted or the valuation methodologies used.

The Company holds all of the shares in EJFIH which is a holding vehicle used to hold the Company's investments. The Board believes it is appropriate to value this entity based on the fair value of its portfolio of investment assets held plus its other assets and liabilities.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company classifies financial instruments measured at fair value in the Portfolio according to the following hierarchy:

  • Level 1 Inputs that are quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments.
  • 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 instruments 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 instruments 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 includes instruments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments but for which significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments.

The Company's investment in EJFIH has been classified as a Level 3 investment and is measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. The fair value of EJFIH is measured based on the NAV of EJFIH. The estimate of the NAV of EJFIH relies significantly on the estimate of the fair value of its underlying assets and liabilities. In determining fair value of its underlying assets and liabilities, EJFIH uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. However, certain valuations use unobservable data which involves more estimation uncertainty.

The tables below analyse financial instruments, held by the Company, measured at fair value at the reporting date by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorised. The amounts are based on the values recognised in the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024. All fair value measurements below are recurring.

18. Basic and Diluted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the (loss)/earnings for the period by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares in issue during the period.

The diluted earnings per share is calculated by considering adjustments required to the (loss)/earnings and weighted average number of shares for the effects of potential dilutive Ordinary Shares. As at 30 June 2025 and 30 June 2024, there were no dilutive instruments in issue, hence basic and diluted EPS were the same.

The weighted average number of Ordinary Shares in issue as at 30 June 2025 is 61,145,198 (30 June 2024: 61,145,198). As at 30 June 2025, the Company had basic and diluted loss per Ordinary Share of 3.9p (30 June 2024: basic and diluted earnings per Ordinary Share of 8.8p).

19. Events after the Reporting Period

The Board evaluated subsequent events for the Company until 29 September 2025, the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has concluded that the material events listed below do not require adjustment of the financial statements.

On 23 July 2025, the Board of the Company made an application to the London Stock Exchange for a block listing of 4,700,000 new 2029 ZDP Shares to be admitted to trading on the specialist fund segment of the main market of the London Stock Exchange. Further 2029 ZDP Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company's existing general authority to issue shares on a non-pre-emptive basis. These 2029 ZDP Shares may be issued to satisfy market demand, as and when market conditions permit. When issued, the new 2029 ZDP Shares will rank pari passu with the existing 2029 ZDP Shares in issue. Following this 1,500,000 2029 ZDP Shares have been issued to date under the block listing. The total number of 2029 ZDP Shares in issue at the date of this report is 18,501,593.

On 31 July 2025, the Company declared a dividend of 2.675p per share in respect of the quarter ended 30 June 2025. The dividend was payable to Shareholders on the register as at close of business on 15 August 2025, and the corresponding ex-dividend date was 14 August 2025. Payment was made on 29 August 2025.

Following the period end, the Company subscribed for an additional 1,928,200 ordinary shares of no par value in the capital of EJFIH for an aggregate subscription amount of £1,928,200.

Commented [JG1]: We could technically issue more shares between today and 29 September. Lets keep in square brackets and highlighted.
