The financia! statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2.024 worr ar;cfitecI by another firm of

auditors whose report, dated 27 June 2024, expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements. Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor‘s report thereon. The Annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other informafion and we do not express any

form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connecron with our audit of the financial statement5, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other informafion is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

INDEPENDENY AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of LOLC Finance PLC (Contd)

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements (Contd)

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether chic to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SLAuSs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SLAuSs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepficism throughout the audit. We also:

e Idcnfify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Inancia statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, ancl obtain audit evidence thnt is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulnng from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effecfiveness of the Company's internal control.

    o Eva!uate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of acccunrng estimates and related disclosures made by management.

    e Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or condifions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future event5 OF condifions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall pre5entation, structure and content of the hnancial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (Contd)

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope nncl timing of the aucfit ance signifier nt nriclft hnclfngs, inclurling any significn nt flehciencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most signihcance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the kev audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation preclucles public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such Communication.

        If the hedging derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the hedge no longer meets the criteria for fair valoe hedge accounting or the hedge designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively.

        Any adjustment up to the point of discontinuation to a hedge4 item for which the effective interest method is used is amortised to pmtit or loss as part of the recalculated effective interest rate of the item over its remaining life.

Where an existing financial liabiliiy is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially diftérent terms .or tht tens of as existing liability are substantially modified, such gn exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and ltte recognif ion of a new liability. In this case, a new financial 1iabilii based on the modified terms is recognised at fart value. The difference betweerr the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial 1iabilily with modified terms is recognised in profit or loss.

Ax explained above, Company calculates ECL either on a collective or individual basis. Asset classes where Company caIcmates ECL on an individual basis includes all individually significant assets which t›otong to stage 3. All assets which belong to stage. 1 and 2 will be assessed colleciiveiy ror Impairment. Company groups smaller homogeneeus exposures based on a combination of internal and. external characteristics such as product type, customer type, days past dug etc.

Calculation of ECL

The Company calculates ECL based on 3 probability weighted scenarios to measure expected cash shortfalls, discounted at an approximaiion to the Effective

Interest Rate (EfR).

A cash shortfall is the difference between the cash I ows that are dut to an entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the entity expects to

4‘he mmbanics of the ECL calculation are outlined below and the ke} elements ate as follows:

Probability of Default (PD): PD is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may only happen at a certain titne over the assessed period, if the facility has not been previously derecognised.and is.Hill in t@ portfolio.

Exposure at Default (EAD): EAD is the estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking in to account expelled changes in the exposure after the reporting date. including repayments oL the principle and interest, whether scheduled by contract or otherwise and expelled draw downs on committed

Lass Glven Default (LOD). LCiD is an estimate of the loss aris'8B.Where a default occurs at a given lime calculated based on historical recovery data. It is usually expressed as a % of the BAD.

When estimating ECL, Company considers 3 scenarios (base case, best case and worst case). Each of these scenarios are associamt with different loss rate.

-or all products, Company considers the maximum period over which the credit losses am determined is the contractual life of a financial instrument.

Forward Looking Information

Company relies oa broad range of qualitative/quantitative forward-looking information as economic inputs such as the following in its ECL model.

  • GDP growtt

  • Inflation

  • Unemployment

  • Exchange rates
