To the Board of Directors of Qalaa for Financial Investments (S.A.E.)
Introduction
We have conducted a limited review for the accompanying interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Qalaa for Financial Investments (S.A.E.) (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") as of 30 September 2025 and the related interim condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Egyptian Accounting Standard 30 Interim Financial statements", and our responsibility is limited to expressing a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our limited review.
Scope of lhe limited i eview
We have conducted our limited review in accordance with the Egyptian Standard on Limited Review Engagements No. 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A limited review of interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other limited review procedures. A limited review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Egyptian 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 on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements
Basis for qualified conclusion›
Bank confirmations were not received from certain banks in connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024. In the absence of confirmation responses or satisfactory alternative review procedures, until the date of this report, we have not been able to satisfy ourselves regarding the completeness and accuracy of the balances due to these banks of EGP 22.5 billion as at 30 September 2025 (EGP 22.3 billion as of 31 December 2024) and related disclosures and any other balances including unfunded exposures and contingent liabilities that the Group may have had with these banks as at 31 December 2024 and 30 September 2025.
Accordingly, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments might have been necessary in respect of these balances in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 September 2025 and, consequently, to the interim condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the nine month period then ended, in addition to unfunded exposures, contingent liabilities or other disclosures that may have been required in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine month period then ended.

Qualified conclusion
Except for the possible adjustments that might have been determined to be necessary had we been able to verify the completeness and accuracy of balances due to banks and any unfunded exposures or contingent liabilities, in light of our limited review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Egyptian Accounting Standard 30 Interim financial statements'
Emphases of matter
Without additional qualification to our conclusion, we draw attention to the following matters:
As described in note (12) to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by EGP 9.66 billion at 30 September 2025 and it had accumulated losses of EGP 26.33 billion as at that date. The Group also incurred a net loss from continuing operations amounting to EGP 4.33 billion for the period ended 30 September 2025 These events and conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be necessary if the Group were unable to continue as a going concern
As described in note (11.B), the interim condensed consolidated financial statements sets out the key considerations and critical accounting judgements applied by management in concluding that the Egyptian Refining Company ("ERC") should be consolidated by the Group. Should these considerations and judgements change, the Group may need to deconsolidate ERC.

Discontinued operations (continued) 4(c) Significant estimates and assumptions
Arbitration based on the Bilateral Investment Treaty
Qalaa and one of its subsidiaries commenced an arbitration in 2021 administered by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in relation to a dispute with a foreign government. Hearings were held in 2024 and were followed by two rounds of post-hearing submissions.
Management has assessed the facts surrounding the claim and has concluded that no contingent asset should be recognised in the interim condensed financial statements. In accordance with EAS 28 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, no contingent asset has been recognised in the financial statements as EAS 28 prohibits the recognition of contingent assets unless the realisation of income is virtually certain which is not currently the case.
In a separate agreement between Qalaa and Financial Holding International Limited ("FHI"), a payment to FHI is required by Qalaa should the claim be resolved in favour of the Group and the cash received exceeds a minimum amount. This obligation meets the definition of a financial liability under EAS 25 Financial Instruments: Presentation and is required to be initially measured at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. Given that it is difficult to determine the impact of the arbitration on the Company's current or future profits at such an early stage of the proceedings, management has concluded that the carrying amount of the liability is immaterial at the end of the reporting period.
Management will continually reassess the estimates and assumptions related to the potential recognition of the contingent asset and the measurement of the financial liability due to FHI. These assessments will be conducted in line with the latest developments in the arbitration proceedings.
The contract with the third party indicates higher percentage shares in any proceeds should be paid the higher the amount of the award. Should a payment be required at any future time, this will arise in conjunction with the realisation of a currently unrecognised contingent asset."

Qalaa and its related companies entered into a debt restructuring agreement with Arab International Bank effective in the third quarter of year 2024. Under this agreement, loans were restructured and will be repaid in installments totaling USD 184 million starting from 2024 till 2033. A variable interest rate with a SOFR base will be applied semi-annually. As of 31 December 2024, Qalaa paid USD 15 Million under the new restructured agreement. The loan balance in National Company For Refining Consultancy includes an amount transferred from Qalaa. Until the Group fully complies with the new payment schedules, the agreement specifies that the bank will continue to calculate interest on the total amount at the previous interest rate under the original loan agreement in a separate account. Once the payment schedule is completed under the new terms, USD 44 million along with any accrued interest and excess interest, will be waived by the bank. The amount of USD 44 million and its associated interest payable are classified as other borrowing payables as per the above detailed schedule.
The loan portion on Trimestone (a wholly owned subsidiary) includes an amount transferred from Citadel Capital Partners, Qalaa's main shareholder. On 6 July 2023, Qalaa's ordinary general assembly authorized Qalaa's Board of Directors to transfer a debt owed by Citadel Capital Partners Ltd., Qalaa's main shareholder to one of Qalaa's fully owned subsidiaries. This debt owed to Arab International bank and was transferred in the third quarter with an amount of EGP 1,728 billion. Management has classified the amount due from Citadel Capital Partners as an equity balance rather than a financial asset. Consequently, this balance is going to be netted off from any future management fees amounting to 10% of the consolidated net profit of the Group attributable to the owners of the parent company, and/ or any other distributions in accordance with the company's articles of association.

Shares in TAQA Arabia: In September 2024, Qalaa transferred 239,120,667 shares (17.68%) in TAQA Arabia to the Egyptian banks. The shares are included as part of the investment in associates (note 5) and the balance of the loan was not reduced by the value of the shares due to the following reasons:
The group has the right to repurchase these shares (call option) during the fifth year after the transfer. The banks retain the right to resell the shares to Qalaa (Put option) during the sixth year. The group did not account for the call or the put option as the shares are considered under the control of Qalaa as illustrated in point 3 below.
The agreement imposes restrictions on the local banks on selling the transferred shares for five years till the call option period elapses.
Qalaa will maintain voting rights for the transferred shares in TAQA Arabia S.A.E. until the end of the call option period. In line with EAS 18 "Investment in Associates," reflecting significant influence through voting rights, Qalaa has equity accounted for its 17.68% interest in the Company and has not derecognized the associated liability. If management's judgments change, this could lead to the derecognition of the investment in TAQA Arabia S.A.E. and the associated liability to pay the strike price. Without these amounts on the balance sheet, the option would be treated as a derivative financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss.
As per the agreement, Qalaa transferred the 239,120,667 shares of Taqa Arabia at an agreed price. At the end of the put option period and by the time the shares are settled against the loans, Qalaa is liable to compensate the banks with any differences below the agreed price plus specific return an the actual share prices at the date of settlement.
Land Plot in Tibeen Area: Qalaa signed a sale agreement of a registered 60,127 sq.m. plot of land overlooking the Nile in the Tibeen area in September 2024 owned by one of the group's wholly owned subsidiaries, valued at EGP 600 million, contingent on obtaining a construction license within six months after meeting the conditions precedent. Until the license is obtained, the bank considers the selling price of the land to be EGP 233.5 million.
Due to pending approvals from governmental authorities on completion of the plot of land sale agreement, the group did not derecognize the land against partial settlement of the loan as at September 30, 2025.
6. Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued) 6(a) Borrowings (continued)Compensation for Exchange Rate and Stock Price Variations: These include an amount of EGP 598 million which will be paid over five years in equal instalments till 31 December 2028. Of this amount Qalaa paid EGP 70 million during the period ended 30 September 2025, and EGP 50 million subsequent to the period. Additionally, an amount of EGP 296 million is due as exchange rate compensation payable during the year 2024 and 2025. As of 30 September 2025, Qalaa paid EGP 296 million.
Debt expected waiver in case of compliance with whole contract terms: The group is entitled to an expected waiver of EGP 4.68 billion and any accrued interest conditioned to compliance with the whole agreement terms and conditions. Until the Group fully complies with the terms of the agreement. The agreement specifies that the bank will continue to calculate interest on the total amount at the previous interest rate under the original loan agreement in a separate account.
The loan balance related to the local banks has not been derecognized, as the conditions required for derecognition under the agreement had not been fully satisfied. As of 30 September 2025, the Company didn't comply with certain conditions specified in the agreement. Accordingly, the related loan balance has been presented as current liabilities.
ERC debt restructuring:
As of December 20, 2024, ERC has successfully finalized its Senior and Subordinated debt Restructuring. As part of the agreement ERC paid a total of EGP 1.69 billion (USD 33.3 million) in fees and default interest related to the debt restructuring process.
During the year ended 31 December 2024, ERC made a payment of EGP 11.9 billion (USD 233.6 million) to senior lenders, consisting of EGP 10 billion (USD 197 million) in principal repayment and EGP 1.86 billion (USD 36.6 million) in interest and fees. Furthermore, a total of EGP 2.45 billion (USD 48.1 million) was paid to subordinated lenders as per the restructuring agreement.
On June 30, 2025, ERC succeeded in paying USD 157.1 million to the senior lenders.
Following the completion of this restructuring and the above-mentioned repayment, the net senior debt as of 30 September 2025 stands at EGP 5.4 billion (USD 113.8 million), down from an initial amount of EGP 119.47 billion (USD 2.35 billion), ERC remains on track to settle its senior debt ahead of schedule. The subordinated debt currently stands at EGP 37.8 billion (USD 790.6 million), with an expected repayment completion by 2030.
6. Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued) 6(a) Borrowings (continued)Related party loans**:
On 30 September 2024, FHI discharged the loans owned by National Development and Trade Company and United Company for Foundries.
In accordance with ERC loan restructuring agreement signed with the senior lenders and approved by the shareholders (note 6 (a)(3)), ERC cannot pay any instalments of QPI's loan until the senior loans are fully settled. Accordingly, the QPI shareholder's loan has been reclassified to non-current liabilities.
On December 20, 2024, the group finalized a debt restructuring deal of USD 20 million, which includes a put option exercise notice of USD 5.5 million over a portion of one of Qalaa's subsidiary's equity. The debt will be repaid in 24 equal monthly instalments at a specified interest rate. Additionally, the lender agreed to waive any principal amount exceeding USD 18 million, provided that the obligations under the Finance Documents are met.
As of 30 September 2024, an amount USD 240,752,323 has been reclassified from bank loans to loans from related parties as Qalaa shareholders through Qalaa Holding Restructuring Ltd. (QHRI) purchased the external debt owed by Qalaa to certain banks and financial institutions participating in the syndicated loan agreement.
As of 30 September 2025, the amount of USD 240,752,323 has been reclassified to the statement of owners' equity as payment under capital increase.
On October 30, 2024, an assignment agreement was concluded between QHRI and Citadel Capital Partners Company (CCP), the main shareholder, for USD 60,852,032. This amount represents CCP's share of the debt owed by Qalaa to QHRI. This agreement is part of the procedures to increase Qalaa's issued capital, allowing CCP to subscribe to its shares (whether in preferred or common shares) using the credit balance. The assignment is non-transferable and cannot be disposed of, pledged, traded, or endorsed until payment is made. Subsequent to the period, the capital increase was completed.
On 22 May 2024, Qalaa and one of its fully owned subsidiaries signed an agreement with Olayan to restructure an existing USD 12 million loan by which Qalaa transferred a building to partially settle an existing loan owed by the subsidiary. Olayan assigned its rights in a USD 12 million loan to one of his related parties. Qalaa will pay a monthly interest rate for three years in the form of lease payments. Qalaa has a call option to repurchase the building within three years for USD 12 million plus a fixed annual interest rate. Management assessed that this transaction does not qualify as a sale and is recognized as a collateralized borrowing, as the company retains control over the transferred asset. In December 2024, an agreement has been signed regarding the remaining debt of Olayan.

Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued) 6(d) Recognised fair value measurements
Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of financial instruments that are recognized and measured at fair value in the interim condensed financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under EAS 45 "Fair value measurement". An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.
Recurring fair value measurements are those that the accounting standards require or permit in the consolidated statement of financial position at the end of each reporting period. The level in the fair value hierarchy into which the recurring fair value measurements are categorized are as follows.

There were no changes in the valuation technique for level 3 recurring fair value measurements during
the period ended 30 September 2025 and 31 December 2024.
Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as trading instruments) is based on quoted market prices (unadjusted) at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities and over the counter derivatives.
Valuation techniques used to determine fair values
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
the fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves.
Unlisted equity investments compose interest in an investment fund. Fair value is measured by reference to published net asset value of the fund.
the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
Aside from traded financial instruments, which are included in level 1, all of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2 except for derivative contracts, where the fair values have been determined based on present values and the discount rates used were adjusted for counterparty or own credit risk.

There were no changes in the valuation technique for level 3 recurring fair value measurements during the period ended 30 September 2025 and 31 December 2024.
Valuation processes
The finance department of relevant subsidiary includes a team that performs the valuations on quarterly basis. The finance department places a partial reliance on experts in the valuation of hedging derivatives.
The main level 3 inputs used by the Group are derived and evaluated as follows:
Discount rates for financial assets and financial liabilities are determined using a capital asset pricing model to calculate a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset.
Risk adjustments specific to the counterparties (including assumptions about credit default rates) are derived from credit risk gradings determined by the Group's internal credit risk management.
Earnings growth factor for unlisted equity securities are estimated based on market information for similar types of companies.
Valuation processes for recurring and non-recurring level 3 fair value measurements
Level 3 valuations are reviewed by the Group's financial officer who reports to the Board of Directors. The financial officer considers the appropriateness of the valuation model inputs, as well as the valuation result using various valuation methods and techniques. In selecting the most appropriate valuation model the financial officer performs back testing and considers which model's results have historically aligned most closely to actual market transactions.
The level three debt instruments are valued at the net present value of estimated future cash flows.
The Group also considers liquidity, credit and market risk factors, and adjusts the valuation model as deemed necessary.
Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed
Fair values analyzed by level in the fair value hierarchy and the carrying value of assets and liabilities not measured at fair value are as follows. There are no differences between the fair value and carrying value of assets and liabilities due to its short maturities and they are all due as of the reporting period.

The fair value of floating rate instruments that are not quoted in an active market was estimated to be equal to their carrying amount. The fair value of unquoted fixed interest rate instruments was estimated based on estimated future cash flows expected to be received discounted at current interest rates for new instruments with similar credit risks and remaining maturities.
Financial assets carried at amortized cost
The fair value of floating rate instruments is normally their carrying amount. The estimated fair value of fixed interest rate instruments is based on estimated future cash flows expected to be received discounted at current interest rates for new instruments with similar credit risks and remaining maturities. Discount rates used depend on the credit risk of the counterparty.
Liabilities carried at amortized cost
Fair values of other liabilities were determined using valuation techniques. The estimated fair value of fixed interest rate instruments with stated maturities were estimated based on expected cash flows discounted at current interest rates for new instruments with similar credit risks and remaining maturities. The fair value of liabilities repayable on demand or after a notice period ("demandable liabilities") is estimated as the amount payable on demand, discounted from the first date on which the amount could be required to be paid.
Presentation of financial instruments by measurement category
For the purposes of measurement, Egyptian Accounting Standard no.47 "Financial Instruments" classifies financial assets into the following categories: (a) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, (b) debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, (c) equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income and (d) financial assets at amortized cost. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss have two sub-categories: (i) Financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss and (ii) assets designated as such upon initial recognition. In addition, finance lease receivables form a separate category.

Critical judgments in applying the Group's accounting policies
In general, applying the Group accounting policies does not require judgments other than the below and apart from those involving estimates that have significant effects on the amounts recognized in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Hyperinflationary Economies
The Group exercises significant judgement in determining the onset of hyperinflation in countries in which it operates and whether the functional currency of its subsidiaries, associates is a currency of a hyperinflationary economy.
Various characteristics of the economic environment of Sudan are taken into account. These characteristics include, but are not limited to, whether:
the general population prefers to keep its wealth in non-monetary assets or in a relatively stable foreign currency;
prices are quoted in a relatively stable foreign currency;
sales or purchase prices take expected losses of purchasing power during a short credit period into account;
interest rates, wages, and prices are linked to a price index;
and the cumulative inflation rate over three years is approaching, or exceeding, 100%.
Following management's assessment, the Group's subsidiary in Sudan, Al-Takamol for Cement has been accounted for as entities operating in hyperinflationary economies.
Consolidation of Orient Investment Properties Ltd and its subsidiary Egyptian Refining Company - (S.A.E) ("ERC")
The Group currently holds 31.51% in Orient Investment Properties Ltd, which is the majority shareholder of ARC. ARC has a shareholding of 66.6% in ERC. Through the various shareholding structures, the Group holds an effective 13% shareholding in ERC and consolidates the ERC entity. ERC represents the most substantial portion of Orient and ARC's operations.
ERC was set up for the purpose of constructing and operating a refinery project and aims to provide benefits for its stakeholders such as debt and equity financiers in addition to cost savings to Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC). The Group was involved with the setup and design of ERC.
In August 2019, ERC started its pre-completion operations which resulted in supplying EGPC with LPG, reformate, JET fuel, diesel, and fuel oil products.
The full operation phase started at the beginning of the year 2020. As of 30 September 2025, ERC is in full compliance with both financial and non-financial covenants under the restructured debt agreements.
According to the clauses in ERC Deed of Shareholders Support, the Group shall prior to the project completion and for two years thereafter, have control over ERC's decision-making, management and operations. Contractually with these clauses, the Group has the full ability to direct the relevant activities of ERC until two years post to the project completion terms have been met. The Group will need to reassess control if the Deed of Shareholders Support clauses no longer apply as this may result in control being lost by the Group at this date.
11. Critical judgments in applying the Group's accounting policies (continued)Consolidation of Orient Investment Properties Ltd and its subsidiary Egyptian Refining Company - (S.A.E) ("ERC") (continued)
Whilst Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC - a significant shareholder in ERC) and ERC have entered into several contractual arrangements, which will be effective during the operational phase, these have been assessed and do not provide Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) with the control to direct the relevant activities of ERC. The Deed of Shareholders Support would override any such clauses in other contractual arrangements including any shareholder agreements of ARC or Orient Investment Properties if such clauses are contrary to the Group having control.
The Group is exposed to variable returns with the involvement with ERC. Variable returns consist of equity returns, fees for service contracts, guarantee fees incurred by the Group on behalf of ERC and exposure to reputational risk.
Management is of the view that the Group has control over ERC by virtue of shareholders agreements, exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with ERC; and can use its control over ERC to affect the amount of the Group's variable returns. Management considers that the relevant activities that most significantly affect variable returns will not be derived during the construction phase of the project but rather during the operational phase.
Furthermore, management has applied judgment in determining if the Group controls Orient and ARC. It should be noted that ERC represents the most significant variable returns of both Orient and ARC. As such, whatever conclusion is reached for ERC would be considered appropriate for Orient and ARC.
In determining the appropriate accounting treatment for ERC, Orient and ARC management applied significant judgment. If management's judgments were to change, this would result in the deconsolidation of ARC and its subsidiary ERC. ERC currently has consolidated assets and liabilities impacting the interim condensed consolidated financial position amounting to approximately EGP
170.1 billion and EGP 87.7 billion respectively as of 30 September 2025 and with a consolidated Loss of EGP 3.9 billion for the nine months period. The primary assets and liabilities making up these totals are represented in the fixed assets amounted to EGP 132.9 billion, trade receivables amounted to 3.9 billion, trade and other payables amounted to EGP 5.4 billion and loans liabilities amounted to EGP
58.4 billion.
Functional currencies of different entities within the Group
Different entities within the Group have different functional currencies, based on the underlying primary economic environment in which the entities operate. Determining the functional depends on the currency which an entity generates and expends cash. The functional currency is the currency which is:
Mainly influences prices for goods and services,
Official for the country that mainly determine the prices according to competitive forces and regulations.
Influences labor, material and other costs of providing goods and services.
Functional currencies of different entities within the Group (continued)
In some instances, it is not clear from the above what the functional currency should be, and consideration would be given to the currency financing is obtained and currency receipt of cash is retained. Management have exercised judgement in assessing the functional currency of some of the entities.
Specifically, in determination of the functional currency of the Egyptian Refining Company (ERC), the Group based its judgement on the fact that the company operates in a market where the price the goods and services are determined is based on global commodity markets. As such, the USD mainly influences prices of goods and services in ERC as well as a large proportion of labour, material and other costs. Moreover, the US Dollar is the currency in which ERC's business risks and exposures are managed, financing is obtained and cash from operating activities are retained. On this basis, management determined the functional currency for ERC to be USD.
Assessing whether the arrangement with EGPC is or contains a lease
ERC and EGPC signed a series of agreements where EGPC agreed that ERC would undertake a project to construct, operate, maintain and own at Mostorod a hydro-cracking complex to produce high value petroleum products and EGPC would off-take all the end products produced from the complex except for coke and Sulphur.
In line with the requirements of Egyptian Accounting Standard 49, the Group has assessed whether the arrangement with EGPC is or contains a lease over the hydro-cracking complex. In making the assessment the Group considered the contractual provisions of the contracts and whether those provisions convey to EGPC the right to control the use of the hydro-cracking complex for consideration over the period of the contract.
Egyptian Accounting Standard "49" states that the arrangement is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The contractual provisions of the contracts between EGPC and ERC do not convey to EGPC the right to control the use of the hydro-cracking complex over the duration of the off-take agreement. Furthermore, ERC controls the operations and maintenance of the hydro-cracking complex over the duration of the contract and decides on how the output would be by determining the appropriate product mix.
Although EGPC obtains substantially all the economic benefit from the hydro-cracking complex, the product is purchased at market price, this indicator alone is not sufficient in isolation to conclude EGPC controls the use of the complex. To control the use of the complex, EGPC is required to have not only the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an asset throughout the period of use (a 'benefits' element) but also the ability to direct the use of that asset (a 'power' element), i.e. EGPC must have decision-making rights over the use of the asset that gives it the ability to influence the economic benefits derived from the use of the asset throughout the period of use.
