Report on review of the condensed consolidated interim financial information
To,
The Shareholders, SHUAA Capital PSC.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position of SHUAA Capital PSC (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") as at March 31, 2026, the related condensed consolidated interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated interim statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows and notes for the three month period then ended and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with applicable International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" ("IAS-34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this 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 consolidated 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.
Basis for Qualified Conclusion
The Group's investment in associates includes an investment in Eshraq Investments PJSC which is carried in the condensed consolidated interim financial information at AED 346 million (2025: AED 349 million). As at the date of this review report, the associate holds an investment in an open-ended fund (the "Fund") measured at fair value, amounting to AED 896 million as at March 31, 2026.
The auditors of the associate were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the fair value of certain underlying investments included in the Fund amounting to AED 786 million. Consequently, they were unable to determine whether any adjustments were necessary to that amount.
Our review of the Group's investment in the associate is based on the financial information audited by the associate's auditors and we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate review evidence to determine whether any adjustment to the Group's share of results and the carrying amount of the investment in the associate was necessary.
Qualified Conclusion
Based on our review, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the "Basis for Qualified Conclusion" paragraph, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2026, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the period then ended, in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 2.2 to the condensed consolidated interim financial information, which indicates that as at March 31, 2026 the Group's borrowings aggregating AED 303 million including bilateral facilities ("Term Loan") aggregating AED 213 million due to a bank (Note 13) are repayable within the next twelve months from the date of these condensed consolidated interim financial information. A waiver in respect of certain default events under this facility was obtained from the bank in the year 2024 which was valid until December 21, 2025. Subsequent to year-end, the Group obtained an extension of the waiver until March 31, 2026; however, this extension has now expired, and no further extension has been granted until the date of as at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial information.

Report on review of the condensed consolidated interim financial information (continued)
Emphasis of Matter (continued)
Further, as disclosed in Note 22, "Subsequent Events," to the condensed consolidated interim financial information, Group continued to engage in constructive discussions regarding a comprehensive restructuring and refinancing of the existing facility and as at the date of these consolidated interim financial information, the Group is still in discussion with the lender and is expected to be finalized before the second quarter of 2026. While no further formal extension of the waiver period has been granted beyond March 31, 2026, the bank has not issued a formal demand or acceleration notice in respect of the overdue amounts under the existing facility as at the date of these consolidated interim financial statements.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
Basis of preparation
These condensed consolidated interim financial information and accompanying notes for the period ended 31 March 2026 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and comply with the applicable requirements of the laws in the U.A.E. As per the requirements of IAS 34, the condensed consolidated interim financial information does not include all the information required for full annual consolidated financial information and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2025 which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These condensed consolidated interim financial information of the Group are prepared under the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. In addition, results for the three months ended 31 March 2026 are neither audited nor are they necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full financial year ending 31 December 2026.
Going concern
The Group has achieved a loss of AED 9.8 million (31 Mar 2025: Net gain of 195 million) during the three-month period to 31 Mar 2026 which has resulted in increase in accumulated losses to an amount of AED 955 million (31 December 2025: 946 million) as at that date. The Group has incurred net gain/(losses) during the previous two years and an operating loss in the current year to date.
Further, the Group has AED 303 million of borrowings repayable within the next twelve months from the date of approval of these condensed consolidated interim financial information, including bilateral facilities ("Term Loan") of AED 213 million due to a bank. The Group remained in close engagement with its senior lender during the period. Following the covenant waiver secured in 2024, the Group continued to advance discussions toward a comprehensive restructuring agreement. Refer to note 13.1.of borrowings and note 22 subsequent event for further details.
During the year 2025, the Group has successfully finalised its Mandatory Convertible Bonds ("MCBs") amounting to AED
274.4 million (equivalent to USD 74.7 million) to its existing Noteholders. These MCBs were converted into ordinary shares at AED 0.32 per share which resulted in 857.5 million of ordinary shares issued in Q1 2025. The remaining Noteholders, whose holdings total USD 75.3 million received a settlement equivalent to 20% of their principal amount, paid on 28 March 2025 (USD 15.1 million). This transaction resulted in a gain of AED 214.8 million.
In addition, the Group raised AED 85 million through the issuance of MCBs to new investors and these MCBs were converted into ordinary shares at AED 0.32 per share resulting in 265.6 million shares issued in Q1 2025.
In assessing the appropriateness of applying the going concern basis in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Board of Directors have considered the Group's operational profitability, liquidity and forecasted cash flows, taking into account reasonably possible outcomes over a 12-month period from the date of approval of these condensed consolidated interim financial information.
NEW STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENTS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2026 where appropriate. The Group has not adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued that is not yet effective. Several amendments apply for the first time in 2026 and adopted by the Group. These amendments do not have significant impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial information of the Group and therefore further disclosures have not been made.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the preparation of the Group's condensed consolidated interim financial information, management has made a number of critical estimates and judgments in a manner consistent with those described in the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

The interest accrued, amounting to AED 0.35 million, on the above mentioned borrowings (due to the bank) has been calculated based on the terms outlined in a revised term sheet that is currently under advanced discussion with the lending bank. Management of the Group expects that the revised terms will be finalized before the end of the second quarter of 2026. Accordingly, interest amounting to AED 4.30 million as at March 31, 2026, has not been accrued in accordance with the terms of the existing facility agreement dated 9 August 2018 (as amended, restated, or supplemented from time to time, most recently on 4 July 2021). Management of the Group believes that applying the revised terms effectively reflects the expected outcome of the ongoing negotiations with the lending bank. Refer note 22 subsequent events.
These include borrowings amounting to 33,768 (31 December 2025: 33,464) due to related parties (Note 17) with an interest rate of 8% p.a. (2025: 8% p.a.).
Finance cost includes interest of 453 for the reviewed period (31 Mar 2025: 457) on the Sukuk payable.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value measurement of financial assets at FVTPL and FVTOCI
Fair values for the Group's financial assets at FVTPL and FVTOCI (level 3) are measured using market or income approaches.
Considerable judgment may be required in developing estimates of fair value, particularly for financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as such estimates incorporate market unobservable inputs that require management to use its own assumptions.
The uncertainty in those assumptions have been incorporated into the Group's valuations of Level 3 financial instruments primarily through updated cash flows and discount rates, as applicable. Additional volatility in the fair values of Level 3 financial instruments may arise in future periods if actual results differ materially from the Group's estimates.
The Group's valuation techniques for Level 3 financial instruments remained unchanged during the three months ended 31 March 2026
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
