(the "Company") as of 30 September 2025 and the related interim condensed separate 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 separate financial statements in accordance with the Egyptian Accounting Standard 30 ' Interim financial statements", and our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed separate financial statements based on our limited review. We have conducted our limited review in accordance with the Egyptian Standard on Limited Review Engagements No. 2410 "Limited 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 separate financial statements. Basis foi qualified conclusion Bank confirmations were not received from certain banks in connection with our audit of the separate financial statements of the Company 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 8,9 billion as at 30 September 2025 (EGP 8.9 billion as of 31 December 2024) and related disclosures and any other balances including unfunded exposures and contingent liabilities that the Company 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 separate statement of financial position as at 30 September 2025 and, consequently, to the interim condensed separate 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 separate financial statements for the nine month period then ended WW W. p W C.

These events and conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Company's exposure to liquidity risk results primarily from the lack of offset between assets of maturities of assets and liabilities. The management makes cash flow projections on periodic basis, which are discussed during the Board of directors meeting and takes the necessary actions to negotiate with suppliers, follow-up the collection process from related parties to ensure sufficient cash is maintained to discharge the Company's liabilities. The Company's management monitors liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient cash cover to meet the cash outflows to settle the obligations of loans and borrowings to be able to maintain financial terms, guarantees and covenants at all times. The Company limits liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient facilities and reserves, and by monitoring cash forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The table below summarises the maturities of the Company's undiscounted financial liabilities at 30 September 2025 and 31 December 2024, based on contractual payment dates and current market interest rates.

The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or pay the liability takes place either: In the principal market for the asset or liability, or In the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or the liability. The Company should be able to have access to the principal market or the most advantageous market. In the absence of principal market, the Company does not need to conduct a thorough search of all possible markets to determine the principal or the most advantageous market. However, the Company takes into consideration all information reasonably available. ‌Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued) 2(e) Maturities of financial liabilities (continued) The table below shows the financial assets and liabilities at fair value in the separate financial statements at 30 September 2025 within the hierarchy of fair value, based on the input levels that are considered to be significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: Level 1: Inputs of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, which the Company can have access to at the date of measurement.

It is worth noting that FHI has interests in several of the Company's subsidiaries and is also a creditor to Qalaa and some of its subsidiaries. Under the agreement, FHI transferred its shares in several of Qalaa 's subsidiaries to a Qalaa wholly owned subsidiary, including: The National Company for Development and Trade (which owns the ASEC Group operating in the cement sector and related industries) and United Foundries Company. Related party transactions (continued) 5(b) Due to related parties (continued) This transfer resulted in Qalaa's direct and indirect ownership in these two companies reaching approximately 100%. Additionally, FHI transferred its stake in Citadel Capital Transportation Opportunities Ltd (CCTO), which owns the National Ports Company. FHI also settled most of the Company and its subsidiaries' previous obligations and return all related guarantees. FHI discharged the debts owed from National Company for Development and Trade and United Foundries Company. In exchange, approximately $13.2 million will be paid to FHI, with $4.2 million already paid and the remaining $9 million was supposed to be settled by September 30, 2024 but it has not been settled yet. Under this agreement, the Company will also transfer its indirect ownership (27.21%) in the National Printing Company to FHI, with the Company retaining the right to repurchase this stake within two years if desired. 5(c) Key Management Compensation Key management personnel received total benefits during the period with an amount of EGP34.4M million in 30 September 2025 represented in salaries and other benefits (30 September 2024: EGP 28.3 M) 5 (d)Terms and conditions Transactions relating to Advisory fees during the period based on the Contracts in force and terms that would be available to third parties. All other transactions were made on normal commercial terms and conditions and at market rates. The loans to related parties are repayable between 1 to 15 years from the reporting date. The average interest rate on the loans to related parties during the period was 11.5% (31 December 2024 - 11.5%). Outstanding balances are secured and are repayable in cash. 5(e) Impairment of loans to related parties and due from related parties Impairment of loans to related parties and due from related parties is estimated by monitoring ageing of balances. The Company's management examines the credit position and ability of related parties to make payments for their past due debts. Impairment is recognised for amounts due from related parties whose credit position, as believed by the management, does not allow them to pay their dues. The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial asset, and the carrying amount is reduced directly to the related parties balance by making a provision for impairment of related parties' balance. 5(F) Loans to related parties The change in the terms of the loan is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original loan and the recognition of a new loan at fair value. As a result of the non-market interest rate (nil) inherent in the loan, there will be a difference between the cash paid and fair value on initial recognition. This difference should be accounted for in accordance with the substance of transaction. However, the loan receivable should be classified at amortized cost, following a modification that results in derecognition of the original financial asset. The financial asset would be recognized as originated credit-impaired financial asset. ‌Earnings/(Losses) per share Basic earnings/ (Losses)per share is calculated by dividing the earnings/(losses) attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period after excluding ordinary shares held in treasury. Nine months ended 30 September Three months ended 30 September 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net Gain/(loss) for the period 374,640 (423,883) 2,548 148,988 Weighted average number of shares including preferred shares with the same distribution rights as ordinary shares 1,820,000 1,820,000 1,820,000 1,820,000 Earnings/(Loss) per share (EGP) 0.206 (0.233) 0.0014 0.082 Diluted Earnings/(Losses) per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company does not have any categories of dilutive potential ordinary shares on 30 September 2025 and 30 September 2024, hence the diluted Earnings/(Losses) per share is the same as the basic Earnings/(Losses) per share. ‌Basis of preparation of the interim condensed separate financial statements ‌Compliance with EAS The interim condensed separate financial statements for the financial period ended 30 September 2025 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Egyptian Accounting Standard (30) "Interim Financial Statements". These interim condensed separate financial statements don't contain all the information required in preparing the full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual separate financial statements as of 31 December 2024. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these interim condensed separate financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period. except for the estimation of income tax (see note 4(d)) and the adoption of new and amended standards as set out below. ‌Going concern The Company has made a net gain of approximately EGP 374 million for the period ended 30 September 2025 (30 September 2024: EGP Loss 424 million). This has further contributed to the accumulation of losses which stood at approximately EGP 17.2 billion as of 30 September 2025 (31 December 2024: EGP 17.6 billion). As at 30 September 2025, the Company's operations were primarily financed by borrowings and bank facilities to the amount of EGP 9.5 billion of which EGP 629 million are classified as non-current. The Company had EGP 6 million of cash and cash equivalents. Key disclosures relevant to the Company's As of 30 September 2025, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by EGP 10 billion (31 December 2024: EGP 17.7 billion). These conditions indicate the presence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to meet its financial obligations as they fall due and, consequently, its ability to continue as a going concern. Qalaa for Financial Investments S.A.E. management actively pursued measures to address the Company's high leverage. As a result, the company's ordinary general assembly decided on 30 May 2024 to approve the offer submitted by Qalaa Holding Restructuring Ltd "QHRI" (a company that was established in accordance with the laws of the British Virgin Islands) by the owners of Citadel Capital Partners Ltd. (the "main shareholder" of the Company) to purchase the external debt owed by Qalaa to certain banks and Financial institutions participating in the syndicated loan agreement dated 1 February 2012 ("the Syndicated loan") signed between Qalaa for Financial Investments S.A.E. and a group of local and international banks and institutions. This purchase will be at an amount equivalent to 20% of the remaining principal balance of the lenders' share who accepted the purchase offer in the Syndicated loans payable in USD in an international bank account selected by the accepting lenders. The opportunity to participate in the debt purchase was offered to all Qalaa shareholders via the funding of QHRI against a debt note issued by the latter. The Purchased Senior Debt was concluded effective 30 June 2024 and the participating Qalaa shareholders will henceforth be the beneficial holders of the Purchased Senior Debt. The debt will then be extinguished by Qalaa in the form of a capital increase providing the participating shareholders repayment in the form of shares in Qalaa or cash or a combination thereof. Such agreement serves to reduce Qalaa's debt levels and financing costs significantly thereby strengthening the Company's working capital position. Refer to note (11) The key factors which could lead to the Company not being a going concern are considered to be: If the Company fails to make profits from operations and does not generate sufficient cash flows from the operations. As a result, the Company would not be able to provide services to its customers, pay employees and suppliers. If the Company is unable to remedy any breaches of financial covenants financial nor able to renegotiate or restructure any defaulted positions. Assessment of cash flow forecasts produced by management The assessment of the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements of the Company relies heavily on the ability to forecast future cash flows over the going concern assessment period and to successfully restructure the defaulted debt and remedy any breaches. Although the Company has a robust budgeting and forecasting process, there is an inherent uncertainty in the assumptions used in this process. The management team has developed a robust and comprehensive five-year cash flow forecast for the next 5 years, which is subject to ongoing review and refinement to ensure it reflects the latest business developments and market conditions. These forecasts play a critical role in the company's financial oversight, serving as a foundational input in the regular assessment of non-current assets for potential impairment. The assumptions and methodologies underpinning these evaluations are carefully documented and aligned with industry best practices. Notably, no impairment losses were recognized on non-current assets during the reporting period. Going concern (continued) Key areas in determining the Company are a going concern The key considerations in respect in respect of assessing going concern and in reaching the conclusion are set out below: Operational Activity The company show continues operational and EBITDA growth year on year. Management continues to maintain a more relaxed cash flow impact from operating expenses either through deferring payments or cost cutting policies. Liquidity Position The Company has experienced significant liquidity issues and to address the liquidity issues, management has undertaken the following actions. Loans from financial institutions, with a balance of EGP 9.5 billion outstanding as at 30 September 2025 represented as follows: A balance of EGP 8.9 billion due to Egyptian banks, Refer to Note 2(C) An amount of EGP 629 million due to Sunrise Service Egypt, Refer to Note 2(C) Other initiatives Management continues to maintain a more relaxed cash flow impact from operating expenses either through deferring payments or cost cutting policies. Based on the above operational and liquidity factors as well as the other initiatives, the company management is of the view that the company expects to continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and be able to continue to operate as a going concern. Therefore, the separate financial statements of the company for the period ended 30 September 2025 have been prepared on a going concern basis. ‌New Accounting Standards On March 3, 2024, the prime minister has issued decree No. 636, amending the Egyptian Accounting Standard No.13 (EAS 13) "the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates", paragraph 57A, effective from 1 January 2024. The company has applied the amendment in paragraph EAS13.57A and made an assessment to determine whether there is lack of exchangeability of foreign currencies against the Egyptian Pound. Below is summary of the outcome of that assessment. ‌Lack of Exchangeability assessment The company assessed that there is no lack of exchangeability for assets denominated in foreign currencies as at 1 January 2024, the date of application of EAS 13 revised. This assessment was made on the premise that assets denominated in foreign currencies may be exchanged at the bank at any point of time without any difficulty. The company also assessed that there is no lack of exchangeability for liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, to the extent that foreign currency assets may be used to settle these liabilities. However, liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in excess of own assets denominated in foreign currencies, as at 1 January 2024, will not be sourced within the banking system, in a reasonable period of time. Therefore, it was assessed that lack of exchangeability exists for these balances, amounting to US$ 195 million, EURO 25 million and GBP 243 k. To make an estimate of a reasonable exchange rate to use because of the lack of exchangeability of the Egyptian Pound against the US Dollar, the company determined that the first rate that was available to the Group (US$1=EGP49.5003) to source foreign currency subsequent to the application date of the revised standard will best represent a spot rate to use to translate the foreign currency liabilities that face lack of exchangeability at 1 January 2024. ‌Currency Position Below is summary of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency as at 1 January 2024: Balance as of 31 December 2023 USD Balance as of 31 December 2023 EUR Balance as of 31 December 2023 GBP Assets Cash and cash equivalents 239 1.6 - Account receivables 181 - - Due from related parties 265,727 - 9.3 Total 266,147 1.6 9.3 Liabilities Loans (431,843) - - Due to related parties (29,877) (495) (252) Trade payables - (24,318) - Total (461,720) (24,813) (252) ‌New Accounting Standards (continued) Monetary effect of applying EAS 13 Revised The following table represent the book value of non-exchangeable monetary liabilities affected on 1 January 2024, and their effects on opening retained earnings: Foreign currency Balance in foreign currency Difference of using the estimated exchange rate profit / (loss) Restated EGP EGP USD (195,573) (3,951,038) (3,951,038) Non-exchangeable liabilities EUR (24,811) (490,130) (490,130) GBP (243) (5,754) (5,754) Net (4,446,922) (4,446,922) ‌Significant events Throughout 2025, the Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank of Egypt implemented a series of interest rate reductions: Between 17 April 2025 and 2 October 2025, Egypt's monetary policy saw a cumulative reduction of 625 basis points across key rates. On 17 April, the interest rate, lending rate, credit rate, and discount rate were each reduced by 225 basis points. This was followed by a 100-point cut on 25 May. The conflict in Gaza, which erupted on 7 October 2023, had a significant impact on the Egyptian economy as well as consumer trends. The Group assessed the key impacts of the conflict on the economy, which included a level of disruptions in the supply chain due to the conflict's impact on navigational routes in the Red Sea. This led to a general increase in shipping prices because of the increase in insurance and shipping costs. The Group was mildly affected by supply chain disruptions during the year ended 2023, as there was a low reliance on the shipment coming through the Red Sea. The Group has taken steps to ensure the Group is not affected in the short term, but due to the uncertainty and liquidity of the situation, the total impact in the medium and long term is undetermined.
