Report on the Consolidated financial statements We have audited the accompany ing consolidated financial statements of Qalaa for Financial Investments (S.A.E.) (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024 and the consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash fiows for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other notes. Management's responsibility for the consolidated financial statements These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Group's management. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance w ith Egyptian Accounting Standards and in light of the prevailing Egyptian laws. Management responsibility includes designing, implementing, and iiiaintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material ir isstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Management responsibility also includes selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that arc reasonable in the circumstances. Auditors' responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. Except for the matters to be discussed in the basis for qualified opinion paragi apli. We conducted our audit in accordance with Egyptian Standards on Auditing and in 1 ight of prevailing Egyptian laws. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures se Meeted depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material m isstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In iiiaking those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Groti p's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedtn es that are appropriate in the circumstances, brit not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control. An audit also incl udes evaluating the appi opriateness of accounting policies and the accounting estimates made by management, as well as the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis lot our audit opinion on these consolidated financial statements. Auditors' report (continued) Page 2 Basis for qualification As disclosed in Note 5(It), the Group has loans due to banks of which confirmations have not been received in response to our requests for confirmation for balances due to banks amounting to EGP 22.3 billion as of 31 December 2024. In the absence of responses to our bank confirmation requests, we have not been able to satisfy ourselves by alternative audit procedures regarding the completeness and accuracy of the balances due to these banks, other balances and unfunded exposures and contingent liabilities with these banks as at 31 Decein ber 2024. Accordingly, we were unable to deteriiiine whether adjustments night have been necessary in respect of the loan balances or unfunded exposures and other contingent liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024 and, consequently, the consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the contingent liabilities disclosed in Note 1.8 to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2024. Qualified opinion Except for the possible adjustments that in ight have been determined to be necessary had we been able to verify the completeness and accuracy of banks' loans, in our opinion, the accompany ing consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Qalaa for Financial Investments (S.A.E.) and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2024 and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the financial year then ended in accordance with Egyptian Accounting Standards and in light of the related Egyptian laws and regulation. Emphases of matter Without qual ify ing our opin ion, we draw attention to the following matters: - As described in note (28-A-3) to the consolidated financial statements, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by EGP 27.8 billion at 31 December 2024 and it had accumulated tosses of EGP 25.03 billion as at that date. The group incurred net loss from continuing operation amounting to EGP 1 .8 billion for the year ended 31 December 2024. 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 consolidated financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be necessary if the Group were unable to continue as a golng concern according to the matters detailed in note (28-A-3). Note 2(e)(i) to the consolidated financial statements sets out the key considerations and critical accovirrting 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. Wael Sakr R.A.A. 26.144 1-lassan B o.98 F.R:A. 3.81 PricewaterliouseCoopers Ezzeldeen, Diab & Co.

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, following the debt restructuring on 20 December 2024 the project completion condition has been waived until 2027. 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. 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 consolidated financial position amounting to approximately EGP 188.15 billion and EGP 96.11 billion respectively as of 31 December 2024 and with a consolidated profit of EGP 1.8 billion for the twelve months. The primary assets and liabilities making up these totals are represented in the fixed assets amounted to EGP 147.19 billion, trade receivables amounted to 7.97 billion, trade and other payables amounted to EGP 5.23 billion and loans liabilities amounted to EGP 65.94 billion. Functional currencies of different entities of 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 labour, material and other costs of providing goods and services. 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. Significant influence over National Printing Company S.A.E On 27 March 2024, Qalaa transferred to FHI its indirectly owned shares (27.21%) in National Printing Company S.A.E. (a subsidiary of Grandview), with Qalaa retaining a call option to purchase back this stake within two years. Qalaa previously consolidated National Printing Company S.A.E. because it had power over its parent, Grandview, due to the appointment of the directors and the power provided by the participation agreement. Despite the transaction on 27 March 2024 resulting in the loss of control of Grandview together with the legal ownership of the National Printing Company S.A.E. shares, the Group Management has determined that Qalaa retains present access to ownership returns in National Printing Company S.A.E. during the call option period in accordance with the principles outlined in EAS 18 "Investment in associates" and also significant influence over "National Printing S.A.E. "the Company" through the ability to exercise the option at any time. If the option is exercised, Qalaa has the right to a voting right exceeding 20% and the option price is reduced by any dividends paid by the Company which grants Qalaa economic access to the profits generated even before the option is exercised. Based on the facts as set out above, Qalaa has equity accounted for the 27.21% interest in the Company and recognized a gross liability to pay the call option strike price. If management's judgments were to change, this would result in the derecognition of the investment in associate (National Printing Company S.A.E.) and also the gross liability to pay the strike price. Absent these gross amounts on the face of the balance sheet the option would be treated as a derivative financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss. Management will continue to reassess this judgement at each reporting date, considering any changes in circumstances that may affect Qalaa's ability to exercise the call option over the Company . 2(f) Investments in associates and joint ventures The following table represents the movement of equity-accounted investments for the year ended 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023: 31 December 31 December 2024 2023 1 January 2024 4,695,303 668,561 Additions 24,950 12,475 Fair value of retained investment note 3(b) 1,888,600 4,341,809 Share of Profit/ (loss) of investments in associates in the consolidated statement of profit or loss 214,097 (16,225) Share of gain of investments in associates in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income 102,574 23,794 Investments transferred to financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income note 5(j) - (49,979) Disposals of associates - (285,132) other components of equity (109,877) - Balance 6,815,647 4,695,303 Set out below are the associates and joint ventures of the Group as at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 which are material to the Group.

Additionally the group paid an amount of EGP 12.5 million as payment under capital increase during the year ended 31 December 2024.

Qalaa has 4 out of 8 of the board members of "Wathba for Petroleum Services" with joint management control and equal voting rights. All relevant decision requires unanimous consent from all the shareholders.

It is not a controlled entity because the Group is not able to use its power over the entity to affect those returns as result of the contractual agreement signed between the Group and other shareholders that gives the other shareholders the right to control as the chairman and the majority of board members hired by the other shareholder. The proportion of the voting rights held by the Group is 44%. If consolidation was required, the total assets would increase by EGP 382M (2023: EGP 360M) and total liabilities would increase by EGP 144M (2023: EGP 134M). ‌Discontinued operation 3(a) Description 31 December 2024 National Printing S.A.E (Subsidiary of Grandview) (Packaging & printing sector) On 27 March 2024, Qalaa transferred to Financial Holdings International Limited ("FHI") its indirectly owned shares (27.21%) in National Printing Company S.A.E. (a subsidiary of Grandview), with Qalaa retaining a call option to purchase back this stake within two years. Qalaa had power over Grandview due to the appointment of the directors and the power provided by the participation agreement. Management had begun discussions with FHI, a significant shareholder (41.50%) in Grandview and a lender to the broader Qalaa Group, prior to the year-end of 2023 to progress with the transactions involving the Grandview and National Printing Company S.A.E shareholding. On 14 December 2023, the board of directors of National Printing Company agreed on listing the company's shares on the Egyptian Stock Exchange through an initial public offering. In addition, on 31 December 2023, a share purchase and debt settlement agreement were drafted between Qalaa and FHI. In order to facilitate the proposed transaction, Qalaa signed a termination letter relating to the management powers set out in the participation agreement resulting in a loss of control over investment in Grandview as of 31 March 2024. As loss of control is considered a deemed disposal under the accounting standards, this resulted in classifying Grandview's assets and liabilities as held for sale as of the year ended 31 December 2023 31 December 2023 TAQA Arabia (Energy sector) Transaction with National Services Project Organization (NSPO) On 9 July 2023, TAQA Arabia (" the company"), began trading its shares on the EGX. The company's shares were listed directly on the EGX without initially being offered to investors via an Initial Public Offering (IPO) as allowed by the EGX regulations. Following the listing, the National Service Projects Organization ("NSPO")" acquired through a block trading deal 270,470,760 shares representing 20% of the total shares of TAQA Arabia previously owned by Silverstone Capital Investments Ltd, a subsidiary of Qalaa for Financial Investments S.A.E "Qalaa". The shares were disposed of to NSPO to settle certain debt obligations of the Group to an amount of EGP 1.6 billion. As part of the transaction, the NSPO granted the Group call option at an agreed disposal price which escalates annually. The call option provides Qalaa the contractual right to re-acquire the shares at any time over the next four years starting from the date of the transaction. Further details are set out in note 5(f)(iv) in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. The call option was judged to be substantive and as a result the Group did not lose control over the company on the date of transaction on 24 July 2023. The transaction was accounted for as a transaction with non-controlling interest. Transaction with certain lenders of the ultimate parent company Subsequent to the above transaction, in December 2023, the Group transferred an additional 154,844,510 shares representing 11.45% of the total shares of the company to certain third parties to settle certain outstanding debt obligations of the ultimate parent company. The fair value of the shareholding based on the fair value of the shares was EGP 1.4 billion. The amount will be settled by future dividend payments and future due management fees to the parent and as such the management has classified this amount as an equity balance rather than a financial asset due to the fact that there will be no future cash flows associated with the balance and it will rather be settled from the future dividends and future due management fees. There was no call or put option attached to these shares. Following the two transactions, the Group owns 23.87% of the total shares of the company and has 43.87% voting rights in the general assembly. The Group does not have majority voting rights in the general assembly and the remaining shares and voting rights are held by few other investors who could out vote the Group at the general assembly. On that basis management has judged that the Group has lost control over the Company. 3(b) Profit from discontinued operations and cash flow information Discontinued operations after tax are represented in the following: Grandview Total 31 December 2024 Revenue 1,458,966 1,458,966 Cost of revenue (1,046,586) (1,046,586) General and administrative & selling and marketing expenses (113,761) (113,761) Other income - net 23,876 23,876 Finance cost - net (12,082) (12,082) Operating profits before taxes 310,413 310,413 Income tax (53,262) (53,262) Deferred tax (7,679) (7,679) Profit after income tax of discontinued operation 249,472 249,472 Gain on sale of investment in subsidiary * 9,694,134 9,694,134 Net profit for the period 9,943,606 9,943,606 Income tax - - Profit from discontinued operations, net of tax 9,943,606 9,943,606 Net cash flow generated from operating activities 81,781 81,781 Net cash flow used in investing activities (60,632) (60,632) Net cash flow generated from financing activities 255,643 255,643 Net decrease in cash generated from by the subsidiary 276,792 276,792 TAQA Arabia Grandview Total 31 December 2023 Revenue 13,463,681 5,179,067 18,642,748 Cost of revenue (11,833,097) (3,665,507) (15,498,604) General and administrative & selling and marketing expenses (483,711) (418,141) (901,852) Other expenses - net (127,675) 124,327 (3,348) Finance cost - net (170,822) (349,744) (520,566) Operating profits before taxes 848,376 870,002 1,718,378 Income tax (274,733) (192,362) (467,095) Deferred tax 16,008 (22,137) (6,129) Profit after income tax of discontinued operation 589,651 655,503 1,245,154 Gain on sale of investment in subsidiary * 4,985,903 - 4,985,903 Net profit for the year 5,575,554 655,503 6,231,057 Income tax - - - Profit from discontinued operations, net of tax 5,575,554 655,503 6,231,057 Net cash flow generated from operating activities 1,296,070 1,130,018 2,426,088 Net cash flow generated from / (used in) investing activities 41,545 (1,548) 39,997 Net cash flow used in financing activities (864,358) (5,028) (869,386) Net increase in cash generated from by the subsidiaries 473,257 1,123,442 1,596,699 * The gain on sale of investment in subsidiary includes a gain on remeasurement of the 23.87% retained interest amounting to EGP 3.6 billion.

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 consolidated 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 Qalaa 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. ‌3(c) Assets and liabilities of disposal Groups classified as held for sale Assets Grandview Ledmore Holding Limited Asenpro Total 31 December 2024 Fixed assets - - - - Projects under construction - - - - Investment in properties - - - - Trade receivables and other debit balances - 12,442 - 12,442 Deferred tax assets - - - - Inventories - - - - Due from related parties - - - - Cash and cash equivalents - 10,523 - 10,523 - 22,965 - 22,965 Impairment - - - - Balance - 22,965 - 22,965 Ledmore Holding Grandview Limited Asenpro Total 31 December 2023 Fixed assets 1,513,996 - 4,826 1,518,822 Projects under construction 33,916 - - 33,916 Investment in properties 9,975 - - 9,975 Trade receivables and other debit balances 1,681,985 7,561 - 1,689,546 Deferred tax assets 31,945 - - 31,945 Inventories 1,028,905 - - 1,028,905 Due from related parties 20,120 - - 20,120 Cash and cash equivalents 489,844 6,394 - 496,238 4,810,686 13,955 4,826 4,829,467 Impairment - - - - Balance 4,810,686 13,955 4,826 4,829,467 Liabilities Grandview Mena Home Furnishing Malls Ltd.
