Independent Auditors' Report on Review of Interim Financial Information
To the shareholders of Finance House P.J.S.C.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying 31 March 2019 condensed consolidated interim financial information of Finance House P.J.S.C. ("the Company"), and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group") which comprises:
the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at 31 March 2019:
the condensed consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income for the three-month period ended 31 March 2019;
the condensed consolidated interim statement of changes in equity for the three-month period ended 31 March 2019;
the condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows for the $\bullet$ three-month period ended 31 March 2019; and
notes to the interim financial information.
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial 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.

Finance House P.J.S.C. Independent auditors' report on review of interim condensed consolidated financial information 31 March 2019
Other matter
The condensed consolidated interim financial information for the three-month period ended 31 March 2018 and the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 were reviewed and audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified conclusion on the condensed consolidated interim financial information for the three-month period ended 31 March 2018 on 6 May 2018 and an unmodified opinion on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 on 13 February 2019.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying 31 March 2019 condensed consolidated interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
Basis of preparation (continued) $\mathbf{2}$
New currently effective requirements $2.1$
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, except for the adoption of the following new IFRSs and amendments as of 1 January 2019:
IFRS 16 Leases
The IASB issued a new standard for accounting for leases in January 2018. a) The new standard does not significantly change the accounting for leases for lessors. However, it does require lessees to recognise most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities, with the corresponding right-of-use assets. b) Lessees must apply a single model for all recognised leases, but will have the option not to recognise 'short term' leases and leases of 'low-value' assets. c) Generally, the profit or loss recognition pattern for recognised leases will be similar to today's finance lease accounting, with interest and depreciation expense recognised separately in the statement of profit or loss. Early application is permitted provided the new revenue standard, IFRS 15, is applied on the same date. The Group has assessed the impact of the above standard. Based on the assessment, the above standard has no significant impact on the financial statements of the Group as at the reporting date.
The adoption of the other standards and interpretations above had no significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial position or performance.
Use of judgments and estimates $2.2$
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, management has made judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the condensed consolidated interim financial information from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The details of the Company's subsidiaries and their principal activities are as follows:

Changes in significant accounting policies $\overline{\mathbf{3}}$

The changes in accounting policies are also expected to be reflected in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending 31 December 2019.
Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
$\overline{3}$ Changes in significant accounting policies (continued)
IFRS 16 Leases
Except for the changes below, the Group has consistently applied the accounting policies to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
The Group applied IFRS 16 with a date of initial application of 1 January 2019. As a result, the Group has changed its accounting policy for lease contracts as detailed below.
The Group applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognised in retained earnings at 1 January 2019. The details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed below.
Definition of a lease A.
Previously, the Group determined at contract inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease under IFRIC 4. Under IFRS 16, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease.
On transition to IFRS 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. It applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 January 2019.
B. As a lessee
As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred significantly all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the Group. Under IFRS 16, the Group recognises rightof-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases – i.e. these leases are on-balance sheet.
The Group decided to apply recognition exemptions to short-term leases of machinery and leases of IT equipment. For leases of other assets, which were classified as operating under IAS 17, the Group recognised right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
Leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17 i.
At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group's incremental borrowing rate as at 1 January 2019. Rightof-use assets are measured at either:
- their carrying amount as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application the Group applied this approach to its largest property leases; or
- an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments – the Group applied this approach to all other leases.

Changes in significant accounting policies (continued) $\overline{\mathbf{3}}$
IFRS 16 Leases (continued)
Leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17 (continued) i.
The Group used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17.
- Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
- Adjusted the right-of-use assets by the amount of IAS 37 onerous contract provision immediately before the date of initial application, as an alternative to an impairment review.
- Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term.
- Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
- Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
Leases previously classified as finance leases ii.
For leases that were classified as finance leases under IAS 17, the carrying amount of the rightof-use asset and the lease liability at 1 January 2019 are determined at the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability under IAS 17 immediately before that date.
$C_{\bullet}$ As a lessor
The Group is not required to make any adjustments on transition to IFRS 16 for leases in which it acts as a lessor, except for a sub-lease. The Group accounted for its leases in accordance with IFRS 16 from the date of initial application.
Under IFRS 16, the Group is required to assess the classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset, not the underlying asset. On transition, the Group reassessed the classification of a sub-lease contract previously classified as an operating lease under IAS 17. The Group concluded that the sub-lease is a finance lease under IFRS 16.
The Group applied IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to allocate consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component.
Impacts on financial statements D.
Based on management assessment, the Group has determined the application of IFRS 16 at 1 January 2019 does not result in a significant impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Financial risk management $\overline{\mathbf{4}}$
Credit risk $4.1$
Credit risk is the single largest risk from the Group's business; management therefore carefully manages its exposure to credit risk. The credit risk management and control are centralised in a risk management department which reports regularly to the Risk Management Committee.
The ECL recorded on loans and advances measured at amortised cost and Islamic financing and investing assets measured at amortised cost have been disclosed in note 10 and 11 respectively.
Write-off policy
The Group writes off financial assets, in a whole or in part, when it has exhausted all practical recovery efforts and has concluded there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include (i) ceasing enforcement activity and (ii) where the Group's recovery method is forcelosing on collateral and the value of the collateral is such that there is no reasonable expectation of recovering in full.
The Group may write-off financial assets that are still subject to enforcement activity. The outstanding contractual amounts of such assets written off during the quarter ended 31 March 2019 was Nil. The Group still seeks to recover amounts it is legally owed in full, but which have been partially written off due to no reasonable expectation of full recovery.
Modification of financial assets
The Group sometimes modifies the terms of loans provided to customers due to commercial renegotiations, or for distressed loans, with a view to maximizing recovery. Such restructuring activities include extended payment term arrangements, payment holidays and payment forgiveness. Restructuring policies and practices are based on indicators or criteria which, in the judgment of management, include that payment will most likely continue. These policies are kept under continuous review.
Risk of default of such assets after modification is assessed at the reporting date and compared with the risk under the original terms at initial recognition, when the modification is not substantial and so does not result in derecognition of the original asset (refer note 3.3 above). The Group monitors the subsequent performance of modified assets. The Group may determine that the credit risk has significantly improved after restructuring, so that the assets are moved from Stage 3 or Stage 2 (Lifetime ECL) to Stage 1 (12-month ECL). This is only the case for assets which have performed in accordance with the new terms for at least 12 consecutive months.
The Group continues to monitor if there is a subsequent significant increase in credit risk in relation to such assets through the usc of specific models for modified assets.

- Credit risk (continued) $4.1$
- Credit risk measurement $(a)$
Loans and advances (including loan commitments, LCs and LGs)
The estimation of credit exposure for risk management purposes is complex and requires the use of models, as the exposure varies with changes in market conditions, expected cash flows and the passage of time. The assessment of credit risk of a portfolio of assets entails further estimations as to the likelihood of defaults occurring, of the associated loss ratios and of default correlations between counterparties. The Group measures credit risk using Probability of Default (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD) and Loss Given Default (LGD). This is similar to the approach used for the purposes of measuring Expected Credit Loss (ECL) under IFRS 9.
Credit risk grading
The Group uses internal credit risk grading that reflect its assessment of the probability of default of individual counterparties. The Group use internal rating models tailored to the various categories of counterparty. Borrower and loan specific information collected at the time of application (such as disposable income, and level of collateral for retail exposures; and turnover and industry type for wholesale exposures) is fed into this rating model. This is supplemented with external data input into the model.
The credit grades are calibrated such that risk of default increases exponentially at each higher risk grade. For example, this means that the difference in the PD between a 6 and 8 rating grade is lower than the difference in the PD between an 18 and 20 rating grade.
Expected credit loss measurement $(b)$
IFRS 9 outlines a 'three-stage' model for impairment based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition as summarised below:
- A financial instrument that is not credit-impaired on initial recognition is classified in 'Stage 1' and has its credit risk continuously monitored by the Group.
- If a significant increase in credit risk ('SICR') since initial recognition is identified, the financial instrument is moved to 'Stage 2' but is not yet deemed to be credit-impaired.
- If the financial instrument is credit-impaired, the financial instrument is then moved to 'Stage 3'. Plcase refer to note 4.1(c) for a description of how the Group defines default and credit-impaired assets.
- Financial assets in Stage 1 have their ECL measured at an amount equal to the portion of lifetime expected credit losses that result from default events possible within the next 12 months. Instruments in Stages 2 or 3 have their ECL measured based on expected credit losses on a lifetime basis. Please refer to following note for a description of inputs, assumptions and estimation techniques used in measuring the ECL.

- A pervasive concept in measuring the ECL in accordance with IFRS 9 is that it should consider forward-looking information. The below note includes an explanation of how the Group has incorporated this in its ECL models.
The following diagram summarizes the impairment requirements under IFRS 9:
Change in credit quality since initial recognition

Significant increase in credit risk (SICR)
The Group considers a financial asset to have experienced a significant increase in credit risk when one or more of the following quantitative, qualitative or backstop criteria have been mct:
Quantitative criteria
Corporate Loans:
For Corporate loans, if the borrower experiences a significant increase in probability of default which can be triggered by the following factors:-
- Loan facilities restructured in the last 12 months;
- Loan facilities that are past due for 30 days and above but less than 90 days;
- Actual or expected change in external ratings and / or internal ratings
Retail:
For Retail portfolio, if the borrowers meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Adverse findings for an account/ borrower as per credit bureau data;
- Loan rescheduling before 30 Days Past Due (DPD);
- Accounts overdue between 30 and 90 days.
Treasury:
- Significant increase in probability of default of the underlying treasury instrument;
- Significant change in the investment's expected performance & behavior of borrower (collateral value, payment holiday, Payment to Income ratio etc.).
Oualitative criteria:
Corporate Loans:
Feedback from the Early Warning Signal framework of the Group (along factors such as adverse change in business, financial or economic conditions).

- Credit risk (continued) $4.1$
- Expected credit loss measurement (continued) $(b)$
Backstop:
A backstop is applied and the financial asset is considered to have experienced a significant increase in credit risk if the borrower is more than 30 days past due on its contractual payments.
Definition of default and credit-impaired assets $(c)$
The Group defines a financial instrument as in default, which fully aligned with the definition of credit-impaired, when it meets one or more of the following criteria:
In addition to 90 DPD, for the retail and corporate portfolio, the default definition used is consistent with the Basel Framework. According to the Basel II definition, default is considered to have occurred with regard to particular obligors when either one or the following events have taken place:
- The Entity considers that the obligor is unlikely to pay its credit obligation to the Group in full without recourse by the Entity to actions like realizing security (if held).
- The Entity puts credit obligation on non-accrued status.
- The Entity makes a charge-off or account-specific provision resulting from a perceived decline in credit quality subsequent to the Entity taking on the exposure.
- The Entity sells the credit obligation at a material credit-related economic loss.
- The Entity consents to a distressed restructuring of the credit obligation where this is likely to result in a diminished financial obligation caused by the material forgiveness or postponement of principal, interest and other fees.
- The Entity has filed for the obligor's bankruptcy or similar order in respect of the obligor's credit obligation to the Group. The obligor has sought or has been placed in bankruptcy or similar protection wherein this would avoid or delay repayment of the credit obligation to the Group.
- The obligor is past due more than 90 days on any material credit obligation to the Group. Overdrafts will be considered as being past due once the customer has breached an advised limit or been advised of a limit smaller than the current outstanding.

Measuring ECL - Explanation of inputs, assumptions and estimation techniques
The Expected Credit Loss (ECL) is measured on either a 12-month (12M) or Lifetime basis depending whether a significant increase in credit has occurred since initial recognition or whether an asset is considered to be credit-impaired. Expected credit losses are the discounted product of the Probability of Default (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD), and Loss Given Default (LGD), defined as follows:
- The PD represents the likelihood of a borrower defaulting on its financial obligation (as per $\bullet$ 'Definition of default and credit-impaired' above), either over the next 12 months (12M PD), or over the remaining lifetime (Lifetime PD) of the obligation.
- EAD is based on the amounts the Group expected to be owed at the time of default, over the next 12 months (12M EAD) or over the remaining lifetime (Lifetime EAD). For example, for a revolving commitment, the Group includes the current drawn balance plus any further amount that is expected to be drawn up to the current contractual limit by the time of default, should it occur.
- Loss Given Default (LGD) represents the Group's expectation of the extent of loss on a defaulted exposure. LGD varies by type of counterparty, type and seniority of claim and availability of collateral or other credit support. LGD is expressed as a percentage loss per unit of exposure at the time of default (EAD). LGD is calculated on a 12-month or lifetime basis, where 12-month LGD is the percentage of loss expected to be made if the default occurs in the next 12 months and Lifetime LGD is the percentage of loss expected to be made if the default occurs over the remaining expected lifetime of the loan.
The ECL is determined by projecting the PD, LGD and EAD for each future month and for each individual exposure or collective segment. These three components are multiplied together and adjusted for the likelihood of survival (i.e. the exposure has not prepaid or defaulted in an earlier month). This effectively calculates an ECL for each future month, which is then discounted back to the reporting date and summed. The discount rate used in the ECL calculation is the original effective interest rate or an approximation thereof.
The lifetime PD is developed by applying a maturity profile to the current 12M PD. The maturity profile looks at how defaults develop on a portfolio from the point of initial recognition throughout the lifetime of the loans. The maturity profile is based on historical observed data and is assumed to be the same across all assets within a portfolio and credit grade band. This is supported by historical analysis.

- Credit risk (continued) $4.1$
- Definition of default and credit-impaired assets (continued) $(c)$
Measuring ECL - Explanation of inputs, assumptions and estimation techniques (continued)
The 12-month and lifetime EADs are determined based on the expected payment profile, which varies by product type.
- For amortising products and bullet repayments loans, this is based on the contractual repayments owed by the borrower over a 12 month or lifetime basis. This will also be adjusted for any expected overpayments made by a borrower. Early repayment/refinance assumptions are also incorporated into the calculation.
- For revolving products, the exposure at default is predicted by taking current drawn balance and adding a "credit conversion factor" which allows for the expected drawdown of the remaining limit by the time of default. These assumptions vary by product type and current limit utilization based on analysis of the Group's recent default data.
The 12-month and lifetime LGDs are determined based on the factors which impact the recoveries made post default. These vary by product type.
- For secured products, this is primarily based on collateral type and projected collateral $\bullet$ values, historical discounts to market/book values due to forced sales, time to repossession and recovery costs observed.
- For unsecured products, LGD's are typically set at product level due to the limited differentiation in recoveries achieved across different borrowers. These LGD's are influenced by collection strategies, including contracted debt sales and prices.
Forward-looking economic information is also included in determining the 12-month and lifetime PD, EAD and LGD. These assumptions vary by product type. Refer to the Note below for an explanation of forward-looking information and its inclusion in ECL calculations.
These assumptions underlying the ECL calculation - such as how the maturity profile of the PDs and how collateral values change etc. - are monitored and reviewed on a quarterly basis.
Forward-looking information incorporated in the ECL Models
The assessment of SICR and the calculation of ECL both incorporate forward-looking information. The Group has performed historical analysis and identified the key economic variables impacting credit risk.

Credit rating and measurement
The risk rating system is the basis for determining the credit risk of the Group's asset portfolio (except the consumer assets) and thus asset pricing, portfolio management, determining finance loss provisions and reserves and the basis for credit approval authority delegation. A standard numeric credit risk-grading system is being used by the Group which is based on the Group's internal estimate of probability of default, with customers or portfolios assessed against a range of quantitative and qualitative factors, including taking into account the counterparty's financial position, past experience and other factors.
The Risk Rating system for performing assets ranges from 1 to 19, each grade being associated with a Probability of Default ("PD"). Non-performing clients are rated 20, 21, 22, corresponding to the Substandard, Doubtful and Loss classifications as per Clarifications and Guidelines Manual for Circular No. 28/2012 issued by the UAE Central bank. The Group's internal credit grades have also been mapped to external agency ratings for better comparison.
Credit approval
Major credit exposures to individual counterparties, groups of connected counterparties and portfolios of retail exposures are reviewed and approved by the Group's Credit Committee ("CC") within the authorities delegated by the Board of Directors.
Credit monitoring
The Group regularly monitors credit exposures and external trends which may impact risk management outcomes. Internal risk management reports are presented to the Chief Risk Officer / Chief Credit Officer and Board Risk Committee, containing information on key variables; portfolio delinquency and financing impairment performance.
All Corporate exposures accounts are monitored carefully for performance and reviewed formally on an annual basis or earlier. Group has robust policies for client visits and monitoring of accounts to make sure that any concerns on the quality of the accounts are addressed well in time. An exposure is categorized as watch list or non-performing as per UAE Central Bank guidelines.
All non-performing accounts are monitored closely by the Remedial Management Unit of the Group directly reporting to the Chief Credit Officer. Such accounts are re-evaluated and remedial actions are agreed and monitored. Remedial actions include, but are not limited to, exposure reduction, security enhancement, exit of the account etc.
With respect to the Group's consumer portfolio, asset quality is monitored closely with 30/60/90 days past due accounts and delinquency trends are monitored continuously for each Consumer Product of the Group. Accounts which are past due are subject to collection process, managed independently by the risk function. Write-off and provisioning of the Consumer portfolio is done strictly as per the UAE Central Bank guidelines.

Credit mitigation
Potential credit losses from any given account, customer or portfolio are mitigated using a range of tools. Additional support in the form of collateral and guarantee is obtained where required. The reliance that can be placed on these credit mitigation resources is carefully assessed in light of issues such as legal enforceability, market value and counterparty risk of the guarantor. Collateral types which are eligible for risk mitigation include: cash; residential, commercial and industrial property; fixed assets such as motor vehicles, aircraft, plant and machinery; marketable securities; commodities; bank guarantees; and letters of credit etc. Risk mitigation policies control the approval of collateral types.
The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018.
Credit risk
The Group measures its exposure to credit risk by reference to the gross carrying amount of financial assets less amounts offset, interest suspended and impairment losses, if any. The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit exposure.

The following is a description of the determination of fair value for assets which are recorded at fair value using valuation techniques. These incorporate the Group's estimate of assumptions that a market participant would make when valuing the assets.
Investments carried at fair value through profit or loss
Investments carried at fair value through profit and loss are listed equities and debt instruments in local as well as international exchanges. Valuations are based on market prices as quoted in the exchange.
Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
20 Fair value measurement (continued)
Investments carried at fair value through other comprehensive income
Investments carried at fair value through other comprehensive income, the revaluation gains/losses of which are recognized through equity, comprise long term strategic investments in listed equities, companies and private equity funds. Listed equity valuations are based on market prices as quoted in the exchange while funds are valued on the basis of net asset value statements received from fund managers. For companies, the financial statements provide the valuations of these investments which are arrived at primarily by discounted cash flow analysis. Fair value of the unquoted ordinary shares has been estimated using DCF model and Price Earning Multiple basis valuation. The valuation requires management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast cash flows, the discount rate, credit risk and volatility and price earnings multiples. The probabilities of the various estimates within the range can be reasonably assessed and are used in management's estimate of fair value for these unquoted equity investments.
Following is the description of the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of unquoted equities and investment property categorized under level 3 fair value measurement.
| Valuation technique |
Significant unobservable inputs (Weighted valuation |
Range average) |
Sensitivity of the input to fair value |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unquoted equities vD. |
Price Earning Multiple Valuation Basis |
PE Multiple | $9 - 11$ | Increase (decrease) in the PE Multiples by 1 would in result increase (decrease) in fair value by AED 5 million |
Transfers between categories
During the period, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. and no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements (2018: None).
