PRESENTATION OF NUMBERS
As the Reverse Takeover was completed on 12th February 2025, the income statement for the six months ended 30th June 2025 comprised of the information of the subsidiaries for the period 1st Jan 2025 to 30th June 2025 and for ICFG Limited for the period 12th Feb to 30th June 2025. Please refer to Note 25 for more information.
REPORTING CURRENCY CHANGE
Reporting Currency Change
The Company has decided to change the Group wide reporting (presentation) currency to U.S. Dollars (USD). The reporting currency is primarily used for the presentation of consolidated financial statements and may differ from the functional currencies of individual subsidiaries.
There are several key reasons for selecting USD as Group reporting currency:
Alignment within the Group and Stakeholders: USD is widely used in global financial reporting and is often the preferred currency for international stakeholders, investors, and financial institutions. The Group operates across multiple jurisdictions with varying currencies, thus aligning with USD enhances transparency and comparability, particularly for users of the financial statements.
Simplification of Consolidation Process: From a practical perspective, using a single reporting currency-USD-streamlines the financial consolidation process. It requires currency conversion only at the reporting date exchange rate, simplifying the preparation and analysis of consolidated financials.
Consistency and Comparability: Reporting in USD ensures consistency across group entities and enhances comparability over time, especially as the Group expands its global footprint and engage with international markets.
Accordingly, the reporting currency of the Group has been changed to USD, effective from the beginning of this reporting period. The Board of Directors formally approved this change on 23 September 2025.
I am pleased to present the interim report and unaudited financial statements for ICFG Limited (the "Company") for the six months to 30 June 2025.
REVERSE TAKEOVER OF ICFG PTE. LTD. AND READMISSION TO TRADING ON THE MAIN MARKET OF THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE
On 12 February 2025, the Company announced the successful completion of a reverse takeover of ICFG Pte Ltd, an acquisition previously announced on 14 March 2023. ICFG Pte Ltd, with its subsidiaries, is a group of companies with its primary operations in the micro-finance sector, offering loans and investment products to businesses and individuals, primarily in Asia, and has developed technologies, including a mobile application, to sell certain of its product lines.
In the H1 2024 comparative period, the Company was a cash shell with no operations.
OPERATIONS
ICFG Limited, listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker "ICFG," is the holding company of the Group. Through its 80.49% interest in InvesCore NBFI JSC, a leading non-bank financial institution in Mongolia, the Group consolidates a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries across several countries. In Mongolia, the Group owns InvesCore Property LLC (real estate development and management), InvesCore Capital LLC (investment banking and brokerage), AI Lab LLC (fintech and technology development, majority-owned), and Core Development and Engineering LLC (construction and engineering). In the Kyrgyz Republic, it controls Pocket KG LLC (digital lending and payments) and InvesCore CA JSC (microfinance). In Kazakhstan, it operates InvesCore KZ Ltd and InvesCore Finance MFO LLP (microfinance and fintech services), while in Uzbekistan it holds InvesCore UE LLC (investment consulting). Collectively, these businesses extend ICFG's presence across financial services, technology, and property in Mongolia and Central Asia.
In the first half of 2025, ICFG expanded its footprint with new branches in Dornogovi Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan, while its Kazakhstan subsidiary improved market ranking and loan growth. The Group advanced its digital transformation through AI-driven credit scoring, big data analytics, and enhanced customer platforms, alongside a strengthened cybersecurity framework.
Investment in people and culture also remained a priority, with leadership development and staff engagement initiatives reinforcing the Group's values.
In H1 2025, the Company achieved total net operating income of US$25 million, an increase from US$21.9 million in H1 2024. Profit before tax also rose to US$15.3 million, up from US$14.8 million in the same period last year.
As part of the reverse takeover process, ICFG Limited issued 177,840,000 new ordinary shares to the former shareholders of ICFG Pte Ltd at a valuation of GB£0.64 per share. This transaction was recognised as a share-based payment expense totaling US$154.9 million. As a result, our total comprehensive income for the period was significantly reduced.
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
The first half of 2025 marked several milestones that reflect both operational momentum and growing reputation in the financial services sector.
ICFG Group achieved a landmark milestone by becoming the first Mongolian financial institution listed on the London Stock Exchange. This enhances international visibility and also broadens access to global investors.
ICFG Group's support for small and medium enterprises advanced with the successful completion of the SME Support Program, jointly executed with Rio Tinto, creating greater financing opportunities for Mongolia's business community.
In March 2025, SIBJ Capital acquired Insur LLC, the sole owner of Connect Life LLC. Connect Life LLC will focus on delivering digital-based insurance and pension savings solutions. This strategic investment reflects ICFG Group's commitment to building a presence in the insurance sector, particularly within the InsurTech space, and supports its broader mission to provide accessible financial services through fintech innovation.
In May 2025, InvesCore NBFI secured US$5 million in financing from Triple Jump B.V., a Dutch impact investment manager committed to support inclusive and sustainable development in emerging markets.
In June 2025, InvesCore NBFI was officially recognised as one of Mongolia's "Top 100 Enterprises" by the Government of Mongolia and Mongolian National Chamber of Commerce and Industry for its achievements and contributions to Mongolia's economic and social developments.
In June 2025, InvesCore NBFI successfully secured an additional loan equivalent to US$3 million from the international impact investment Fund EMF Microfinance Fund, AgmvK (EMF). This marks the sixth round of funding from EMF, bringing total financing received from EMF to US$16 million. This milestone reflects the continued confidence of international investors in InvesCore NBFI's growth, market expansion, financial stability, sound corporate governance, and commitment to transparency.
CONVERTIBLE LOAN FACILITY
On 28 January 2025, the Company received £200,000 for the last tranches of The Series C Convertible Loans with an interest rate equating to a fixed amount of five per cent. per annum. In total £1.5m of the Series C Convertible Loan was received by the Company.
On 12 February 2025, the Series C Convertible Loan, in addition to two earlier convertible loans announced in 2023, converted into ordinary shares in ICFG Limited in accordance with the terms of these loans. In total convertible loans of £3.5m plus interest accrued converted into 6,357,116 shares that were issued on completion of the reverse takeover.
On 4 December 2024, the Company announced it had obtained a further unsecured committed facility of up to £2 million via a convertible loan note instrument (the "Series D Convertible Loan"). The Series D Convertible Loan was made available in two tranches over December 2024 and January 2025 an interest rate equating to a fixed amount of ten per cent. per annum. The two tranches (totaling £2,000,000) were received by the Company. The Series D Convertible loan provides the lender the option to convert the loan principle plus interest into ordinary shares of the Company at the readmission price of 64 pence by 31 December 2025 or repayment be made by the Company in cash.
BOARD AND MANAGEMENT CHANGE
Mr. Oliver Stuart Fox resigned as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the Company on 19 August 2025. In addition, Mr. Benjamin Proffitt resigned as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), a non-Board role on 19 August 2025. Their resignations followed the successful completion of the reverse takeover.
As the Company enters a new chapter following its reverse takeover, the Board has made interim appointments from within the Group, selecting individuals with a strong understanding of the business. Ms. Enkhmaral Batkhuyag has been appointed interim Chief Executive Officer and will be appointed as Executive Director, subject to customary due diligence. In addition, Ms. Tserennadmid Ganbaatar has been appointed interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT
The Company remains confident in its ability to deliver growth in the second half of the year, supported by a resilient balance sheet, diversified revenue streams, and prudent cost and risk management. While macroeconomic challenges persist, including inflationary pressures, interest rate volatility, and foreign exchange fluctuations, the Company believes its strong capital position and disciplined execution provide a solid foundation to navigate the evolving environment.
The Company's strategic priorities remain consistent, with ongoing investment in digital capabilities, customer service, and operational efficiency aimed at driving sustainable, long-term value creation. Subject to no material changes in market conditions, the Board anticipates the Group's full-year performance to be broadly in line with current management expectations.
On behalf of the Board, I thank the shareholders and advisors of the Company for their continued support.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The Directors are responsible for preparing the interim report and unaudited financial statements, in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The Directors confirm to the best of their knowledge that:
|
· |
the condensed set of unaudited financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' of UK-adopted International Accounting Standards; |
|
· |
this interim report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7R of the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, being an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial period and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements, and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial period; |
|
· |
the interim report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.8R (disclosure of related parties transactions and changes therein); and |
|
· |
the condensed set of unaudited financial statements, which has been prepared in accordance with the applicable set of accounting standards, gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss as required by DTR 4.2.10R. |
The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that its financial statements comply with The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 (as amended). They are also responsible for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The following is a summary of key risks that, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, the Directors has determined could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The Company has considered circumstances such as the probability of the risk materialising, the potential impact which the materialisation of the risk could have on the Company's business, financial condition, and prospects, and the attention that management would, on the basis of current expectations, have to devote to these risks if they were to materialise:
|
· |
Slower global economic growth, persistent inflationary pressures, and elevated interest rates continue to create uncertainty in capital markets and weigh on consumer and business confidence. These conditions may reduce demand for the Group's products and services, as both households and businesses may limit spending, borrowing, or investment. Inflationary pressures may also drive up the Group's operating costs, including staff expenses, funding costs, and general administrative overheads, while elevated interest rates could further increase the cost of borrowing and reduce margins. If such conditions persist or worsen, they could materially and adversely affect the Group's revenues, profitability, liquidity position and overall financial performance. |
|
· |
Volatility in foreign exchange markets, particularly between the US dollar, British pound and other operational currencies, may adversely affect the Group's financial performance. As the Group generates revenues and incurs costs across multiple jurisdictions, fluctuations in exchange rates may result in mismatches between revenue and cost bases, adversely affecting reported profitability and cash flows. While hedging strategies may be used, they may not fully mitigate these risks, and adverse movements could materially affect the Group's business, results of operations and prospects. |
|
· |
The Group faces competition in each business activity and the products and services it offers in microlending and other neo-banking services, investment banking, property management and IT development. Competitors may leverage greater scale, pricing flexibility, brand strength, or more innovative technologies to attract customers, while mergers and acquisitions could further consolidate their market power. If the Group is unable to keep pace with such developments or effectively align its products and services with market needs, its market share, growth, financial condition, and prospects could be materially adversely affected. The Group faces competition in each business activity and the products and services it offers in microlending and other neo-banking services, investment banking, property management and IT development. |
|
· |
The Group, particularly through InvesCore NBFI, is exposed to counterparty credit risk, where a failure by counterparties to meet their financial obligations could significantly impact its business, financial condition, and results of operations. Large defaults could hinder the Group's ability to achieve its objectives, and exposure is further constrained by regulatory limits set by the respective authorities, which cap single borrower exposure relative to equity for microfinance entities. |
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Directors, or that the Directors currently consider to be immaterial, may individually or cumulatively also have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, and financial position. If any or a combination of these risks actually occurs, the business, prospects, results of operations and/or financial position of the Company's business could be materially and adversely affected.
We continue to actively monitor these risks and implement appropriate mitigation strategies to protect the Group's financial health and strategic objectives.
GOING CONCERN
The Directors believe that the Company has adequate financial resources to continue its operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements.
Accordingly, the Directors believe that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

During the periods ended June 2025 and 2024, the Group was subject to incremental tax rates on certain bands of profit below the minimum 15% level mandated by the OECD's Pillar Two Model Rules. However, due to the application of higher income tax rates on certain bands of profit within the tax jurisdictions in which the Group operates, the effective rate of tax paid by the Group on its taxable profit exceeds this 15% threshold. As a consequence, the provisions of the OECD Pillar Two Model Rules are not considered to have any impact on the Group's tax exposures.

The Group applies the IFRS 9 general three-stage approach to measure expected credit losses. To measure expected credit losses on a collective basis, loan receivables are grouped based on similar credit risk profile and aging. ECL is estimated by using seven periods of historical data and current period data. The historical probability of default is calculated by considering both actual and forward-looking macroeconomic factors. The Group incorporates factors such as GDP growth, fluctuations in coal and copper prices, and the policy rate of the Central Bank, which are deemed to primarily impact expected credit losses. The carrying value of the loans and advances approximates their fair value.
Movement of expected credit losses movement between stages is as follows:

Financial instruments not measured at fair value
Financial instruments not measured at fair value include cash and cash equivalents, loans to customers, other financial assets, borrowings, bonds, convertible debt, trust deposit liabilities, and other financial liabilities.
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, other financial assets, and other payables approximates their fair value.
General objectives, policies and procedures
The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group's risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group's credit committee.
The management receives monthly reports from the Group Chief Financial Officer through which it reviews the effectiveness of the procedures put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets. The Group's internal auditors also review the risk management policies and processes and report their findings to the Audit Committee.
The overall objective of the management is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as much as possible without unduly affecting the Group's competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below:
a) Credit risk
Credit risk is defined as the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group is primarily exposed to credit risk due to customers potentially being unable to fulfill their obligations under loan agreements, impairment of collateral, and the inability to meet obligations with the collateral.
The Credit Committee manages the Group's credit risk in an integrated manner by regularly discussing and resolving issues. If necessary, these issues are escalated and discussed at Board meetings.
The Group follows the "Risk Management Policy" issued for the Credit Committee in its loan activities. According to the policy, the risk management process consists of five interrelated stages.
1. Risk identification
2. Risk analysis and measurement
3. Risk assessment - Quantitative and qualitative approaches appropriate to the nature of the risk
4. Risk treatment
5. Monitoring and review
The main purpose of credit risk management is to optimize the level of risks and expected returns of loan activities. The Group adheres to the following principles in their credit risk management activities:
1. Accountability
2. Independence
3. Operating within the framework of policies and procedures
4. Providing complete loan documentation
5. Consistency
6. Adherence to limits set and diversification of the loan portfolio
a) Credit risk (continued)
To manage the level of credit risk, the Group sets limits on the amount of risk it is willing to accept for individual borrowers or groups of borrowers. The level of exposure to credit risk is managed through ongoing analysis of borrowers' and potential borrowers' ability to meet interest and principal repayment obligations. Credit limits are adjusted as needed to mitigate risk. Furthermore, exposure to credit risk is managed by securing collateral and obtaining corporate or personal guarantees.
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding collateral and other credit enhancements, is as follows:

Other credit enhancements refers to strategies and tools to mitigate risks associated with loan such as collateral, guarantees and insurance. InvesCore NBFI collateralises real states with LTV ratios of up-to 80% and cars with LTV ratios of up-to 70% in keeping with loan procedure regulations. Furthermore, InvesCore NBFI collaborates with the 7 top Mongolian insurance companies (Practical insurance, Mandal insurance, Nomin insurance, Bodi insurance, Khaan insurance, Tenger insurance and Munkh insurance) to insure car purchase loans and investment loans.
Where financial instruments are recorded at fair value, the amounts shown above represent the current credit risk exposure, but they do not reflect the maximum risk exposure that could arise in the future due to changes in their values.

Collateral and other credit enhancements
The Group maintains collateral coverage in order to mitigate credit risk. The following table sets out the principal types of collateral held against different types of financials assets.
Amounts arising from ECL
To mitigate the credit risk associated with financial assets, the Group requires collateral primarily for business and consumer loans. The type of collateral varies depending on the loan product. For business loans, collateral includes both movable and immovable assets. For consumer loans, the underlying assets financed by the loan proceeds are typically used as collateral. For digital loans disbursed through the Pocket platform, the Group relies on the borrower's credit scoring model and does not require collateral.
The details of the fair value of collateral for loans provided to customers by the Group are as follows:

The loan collateral must be sufficient to cover the principal, accrued interest, and penalty interest on high-risk loans. The collateral is valued based on its market value and benchmark valuation standards. Management continuously monitors the valuation of the collateral.
Inputs, assumptions and methodology used for estimating impairment
Significant increase in credit risk
When assessing whether the risk of default on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group considers relevant and readily available information without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative analysis, drawing on the Group's historical experience, expert credit assessments, and forward-looking information.
The Group uses three criteria to determine whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk:
- quantitative test based on movement in probability of default (PD);
- qualitative indicators; and
- a backstop indicator: If a financial asset is more than 30 days past due, or has been restructured, and if both internal and external ratings have decreased by two or more grades, it is assigned to Stage 2. If a financial asset is more than 90 days past due and therefore considered defaulted, it is allocated to Stage 3.
Credit risk grades
The Group allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of default and applying experienced credit judgement. Credit risk grades are defined using qualitative and quantitative factors that are indicative of the risk of default.
Each exposure is allocated to a credit risk grade at initial recognition based on available information about the borrower. Exposures are subject to ongoing monitoring, which may result in exposure being moved to a different credit risk grade. The monitoring typically involves use of the following data to determine the impairment of financial asset: the borrower's financial condition, credit usage, contract restructuring, repayment history, income stability, economic trends, and references from law enforcement agencies. Sources of date include:
- Internally collected data on customer behavior, such as credit card usage;
- External data from credit reference agencies;
- Internally collected payment records, detailing overdue status and payment ratios;
- Internally collected data on utilization of the approved credit limit;
- Internally collected record of instances of forbearance requests and approvals;
- Internal research on anticipated changes in economic, business, and financial conditions;
- External data from law enforcement agencies.
Generating the term structure of PD
Determining whether credit risk has increased significantly
The Group assesses whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition at each reporting period. Determining whether an increase in credit risk is significant depends on the characteristics of the financial instrument and the borrower.
Credit risk may also be deemed to have increased significantly since initial recognition based on qualitative factors linked to the Group's credit risk management procedures, which may not be fully captured in the quantitative analysis in a timely manner.
Such qualitative factors are based on the Group's expert judgement and relevant historical experience and are applied to the exposures that meet certain heightened risk criteria, such as placement on a watch list.
As a backstop, the Group considers that a significant increase in credit risk occurs no later than when an asset is more than 30 days past due. Days past due are determined by counting the number of days from the earliest elapsed due date in respect of which full payment has not been received. Due dates are determined without considering any grace period that might be available to the borrower. If there is evidence that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk relative to initial recognition, then the loss allowance on a financial instrument return to being measured as 12-month ECL.
Some qualitative indicators of increased credit risk, such as delinquency or forbearance, may suggest a heightened risk of default that continues even after the indicator itself has ceased to exist. For instance, when the contractual terms of a loan have been modified, evidence that the criteria for recognizing lifetime ECL are no longer met includes a history of up-to-date payment performance in accordance with the modified contractual terms.
The Group monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify significant increases in credit risk through regular reviews to ensure that:
- The criteria are capable of identifying significant increases in credit risk before exposure is in default.
- The criteria do not align solely with the point in time when an asset becomes 30 days past due.
- The average time between the identification of a significant increase in credit risk and default is reasonable.
- Exposures are not generally transferred directly from 12-month ECL measurement to credit-impaired status.
- There is no unwarranted volatility in loss allowance due to transfers between 12-month ECL (Stage 1) and lifetime ECL measurements (Stage 2).
Definition of default
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:
- Insolvency: The borrower is considered insolvent for the following reasons:
o Significant financial deterioration
o Having difficulty pay interest or principal payment
o Likelihood of bankruptcy or other financial restructuring
- The asset is past due by more than 90 days.
In assessing whether a borrower is in default, the Group considers indicators based on data developed internally and obtained from external sources:
- Qualitative: e.g., breaches of covenant
- Quantitative: e.g., overdue status and non-payment on another obligation to the Group
Inputs into the assessment of whether a financial instrument is in default, and their significance, may vary over time to reflect changes in circumstances.
Incorporation of forward-looking information
The Group incorporates forward-looking information into both the assessment of whether the credit risk of an instrument has increased significantly since its initial recognition and the measurement of ECL. The key drivers for credit risk include GDP growth, unemployment rates, and interest rates. Due to the short average life of the Group's loan portfolio, the sensitivity to these key drivers is insignificant.
Modified financial assets
The contractual terms of a loan may be modified for various reasons, such as changing market conditions, customer retention efforts, and other factors unrelated to the current or potential credit deterioration of the customer. Exposures with no past due amounts and no restructuring are classified as Stage 1 exposures. Exposures that are past due within 90 days or loans that have been restructured are classified as Stage 2 exposures. Exposures that are past due more than 90 days or that have defaulted are classified as Stage 3 exposures.
Measurement of ECL
The key inputs into the measurement of Expected Credit Losses (ECL) are based on the term structure of the following variables:
- Probability of Default (PD)
- Loss Given Default (LGD)
- Exposure at Default (EAD)
For exposures in Stage 1, the 12-month ECL is calculated by multiplying the 12-month PD by LGD and EAD. Lifetime ECL is calculated similarly but uses the lifetime PD instead of the 12-month PD.
LGD represents the expected loss magnitude in the event of default. LGD models take into consideration the structure of the financial asset, any collateral involved, the seniority of the claim, the industry of the counterparty, and the recovery cost associated with collateral integral to the asset. LGD estimates are adjusted for various economic scenarios and are calculated using a discounted cash flow approach, with the effective interest rate serving as the discount factor.
EAD represents the anticipated exposure in the event of a default. The Group determines EAD based on the current exposure to the counterparty, considering potential changes allowed under the contract and arising from amortization. For a financial asset, EAD is the gross carrying amount at the time of default. For lending commitments, EAD encompasses potential future amounts that may be drawn under the contract, estimated using historical data and forward-looking forecasts. In the case of financial guarantees, EAD equals the exposure under the guarantee at the point when it becomes payable.
As described above, and subject to using a maximum of a 12-month PD for Stage 1 financial assets, the Group measures ECL by considering the risk of default over the maximum contractual period, which includes any borrower's extension options, over which it is exposed to credit risk. This measurement applies even if, for credit risk management purposes, the Group considers a longer period. The maximum contractual period extends to the date at which the Group has the right to demand repayment of an advance or terminate a loan commitment or guarantee.
Credit risk arising on cash at bank deposits
The Group maintains cash at bank in a variety of banks across the portfolio of operations, giving rise to a level of credit risk associated with the credit worthiness of the banks with whom funds are held. As at the reporting date, a total of 97% (2024: 97%) of all funds held were lodged with banks with a credit rating of B2 or above.
a) Market risk
Market risk arises from the Group's use of interest bearing, tradable and foreign currency financial instruments. It is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), foreign exchange rate (currency risk) or other market factors (other market price risk)
i) Interest rate risk
The Group defines interest rate risk as potential loss due to a negative impact from adverse changes in interest rates and their implied volatility. The Group's lending, funding and investment activities give rise to interest rate risk. The immediate impact of variation in interest rate is on the Group's net interest income, while a long-term impact is on the Group's net worth as the economic value of the Group's assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet exposures will be affected.
The Group's risk function periodically monitors the compliance against its risk appetite on the Group's interest rate position.
The following table presents the sensitivity analysis demonstrating the potential impact of a reasonable change in interest rates, while holding all other variables constant, on the Group's statement of comprehensive income. The sensitivity analysis measures the effect of assumed changes in interest rates on net interest income for one year, based on the floating rate of financial assets and financial liabilities held as of 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024.

ii) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of financial instruments fluctuates as a result of changes in foreign currency rates. This risk arises from foreign currency transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in the foreign currencies. As of 30 June 2025, and 31 December 2024, the Group's net exposure to foreign exchange risk is as follows:

c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Group may be unable to fulfill its short-term financial obligations as they come due.
The Group's policy is designed to ensure it always has adequate cash on hand to meet its liabilities promptly. To achieve this objective, the Group maintains cash reserves and utilizes agreed-upon facilities, such as overdraft facilities with multiple financial institutions, to cover anticipated needs.
The Group prepares its annual budget by assessing its cash flow requirements. Additionally, the Group conducts monthly liquidity risk assessments, which are presented to the Board of Directors for review and decision-making on further actions to maintain financial stability.
The following table sets out the contractual maturities (representing undiscounted contractual cash-flows) of financial liabilities:

d) Disclosure of capital
The Group controls 'adjusted capital', which consists of all components of the equity other than cash flow hedge reserves (e.g. share capital, additional paid-in capital, non-controlling interest, retained earnings and revaluation surplus). The primary objectives of the Group's capital management are:
- Ensure the Group's ability to operate as a going concern, thereby sustaining returns for shareholders and providing benefits to other stakeholders;
- Provide shareholders with appropriate returns by setting prices for products and services based on the level of risk involved.
The Group determines the amount of capital it needs relative to its risk exposure. It actively manages its capital structure and adjusts it in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk profile of its underlying assets. To maintain or modify its capital structure, the Group may adjust dividend payments, conduct share buybacks, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt. These actions are taken to optimize the Group's financial position and align its capital with its risk tolerance and business strategy.
Consistent with the industry, the Group monitors its capital using the debt-to-adjusted capital ratio. This ratio is computed as net debt divided by adjusted capital, defined as follows: Net debt equals total debt (as reported in the statement of financial position) minus cash and cash equivalents.
Due to recent market uncertainty, the Group's strategy is focused on maintaining a robust cash position and achieving a favorable debt-to-adjusted-capital ratio. This strategy aims to ensure access to finance at reasonable costs by sustaining a high credit rating. The debt-to-adjusted-capital ratios as of 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024 were as follows:

e) Operational risk management
In the operational risk management framework of the Group, operational risk is defined as the potential for loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, human errors, system failures, or external events.
All employees are accountable for preventing situations that could lead to operational risk incidents and for promptly reporting any significant operational risk incidents. Roles and responsibilities are allocated based on the Three Lines of Defense as outlined below:
The First Line of Defense, comprising Business Units and supporting units, is responsible for several key tasks within the operational risk management framework: ensuring the implementation and execution of robust, effective, and efficient controls; reporting on the effectiveness of operational risk controls; accepting operational risk based on the approved risk acceptance matrix; and implementing follow-up measures commensurate with the level of operational risk identified.
The Second Line of Defense, represented by the Risk Management Department, holds several responsibilities within the operational risk management framework: reviewing and challenging all process assessments and follow-up measures; monitoring the performance of operational risk metrics; and escalating operational risk matters to the Risk Management Committee for appropriate attention and action.
e) Operational risk management (continued)
The Third Line of Defense, Internal Audit, is tasked with providing assurance on the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and internal controls. This includes assessing how the first and second lines of defense fulfill their risk management and control objectives. The risk appetite statement is reviewed and approved annually by the Board of Directors. Monitoring of risk appetite occurs on a monthly basis, with reports provided to the monthly Risk Management Committee and quarterly to the Board Risk Management Committee.
i) Fraud Risk
Fraud risk is managed through a comprehensive Anti-Fraud Policy and Whistleblowing Policy, forming the cornerstone of a robust framework where the intolerance for fraud is clearly outlined. These policies ensure that all employees grasp the significance of identifying and reporting any fraudulent incidents. By cultivating a culture of vigilance and accountability, every employee is empowered to actively engage in detecting and reporting potential fraud, thereby strengthening the Group's dedication to mitigating fraud risk and upholding the integrity of its operations.
ii) Health and Safety
The Group addresses Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) risks through a comprehensive framework, incorporating established OHS procedures and designating an OHS officer to oversee compliance and safety measures. Regular OHS annual training and awareness programs ensure that all employees are well-versed in safety protocols and best practices. To oversee and mitigate risks, the Group tracks OHS incident metrics monthly, presenting detailed reports to the Risk Management Committee for review and action. Furthermore, the presence of an OHS incident response team ensures prompt and effective responses to any safety incidents, thereby reducing potential risks and fostering a safe working environment.
iii) Product or Service Malfunction and/or Deficiency
The Group effectively manages product and service errors or deficiencies within an operational risk framework, employing a robust system that commences with thorough product development procedures. These procedures require risk assessments prior to product launch to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks. The Group upholds a stringent control environment to ensure continuous oversight and compliance with regulatory standards. Regular risk reporting facilitates timely identification and documentation of any emerging issues, allowing for swift resolution. Moreover, a well-defined customer complaint resolution procedure ensures swift investigation and resolution of any reported deficiencies. Certified by ISO 9001, the Group adheres to international quality management standards, reinforcing its commitment to excellence and continuous improvement. This certification underscores the Group's dedication to maintaining high standards of quality and reliability, thereby safeguarding its reputation and ensuring customer satisfaction.
iv) Business Disruption
The management of business disruptions is facilitated through the implementation of a Business Continuity Plan (BCP), which assures resilience and prompt recovery in unforeseen circumstances. This plan incorporates well-defined risk tolerances related to business disruptions, such as core system uptime ratios and internet service availability, to sustain vital operations. It delineates comprehensive protocols for addressing diverse disruption scenarios, ensuring the uninterrupted continuity of essential functions with minimal disruptions. Routine testing and revisions of the BCP are conducted to ensure its ongoing effectiveness and applicability. Through imposing rigorous standards for system uptime and service reliability, the Group emphasizes the significance of operational continuity.
e) Operational risk management (continued)
v) Legal and Compliance risk
The Group effectively mitigates legal and compliance risks through the collaborative efforts of its Legal Unit and Risk and Compliance units, dedicated to proactively prevent such risks. The Group employs thorough legal assessments and compliance protocols, with the legal team meticulously scrutinizing all operations to ensure conformity with pertinent legal standards. Additionally, the legal team offers timely recommendations to address any identified instances of non-compliance. The Group reinforces compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) regulations through robust policies and procedures, complemented by mandatory annual training for all staff. Through the integration of these strategies, the Group fortifies its defenses against legal and compliance risks, thereby safeguarding its operations and reputation.
vi) Information technology
The Group manages IT risk through a multifaceted approach anchored by adherence to the ISO 27001 standard, renowned for its stringent framework in information security management. An integral part of this strategy involves a dedicated IT team responsible for implementing and upholding these standards, ensuring the establishment of robust security measures for safeguarding sensitive data and systems. This team conducts regular risk assessments, oversees IT infrastructure, and promptly addresses any identified vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the Group enforces stringent access controls, employs data encryption measures, and maintains continuous monitoring to counter cyber threats effectively. Through the utilization of the IT team's expertise and compliance with internationally recognized standards, the Group effectively mitigates IT risks, thereby ensuring the security and integrity of its technological assets.

There were no changes in the valuation approach used during the periods ended 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023. Additionally, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3 of the fair value hierarchy for assets recorded at fair value.
The Group discloses fair values for financial instruments at amortized cost based on the following methodologies and assumptions:
- Loans and advances to customers are valued by first categorizing them into portfolios with similar characteristics. The fair value determination involves adjusting contractual cash flows for ECLs and expectations of customer behavior, which are informed by observed historic data. These adjusted cash flows are then discounted at a weighted average lending rate that is appropriate for each portfolio, resulting in an estimate of their fair value.
- Trust deposits are valued using a replacement cost method, which assumes that if the deposits were to be replaced, it would be done in the most advantageous market available. The fair value calculation involves discounting contractual cash flows using a funding interest rate profile that incorporates credit spreads reflecting the maturity profile of each deposit.
- Debt securities in issue are valued based on quoted market prices where available. When quoted prices are not available, the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model. This model uses current market rates applicable to instruments with similar terms and maturity to estimate the present value of future cash flows.

On 12 February 2025, the company acquired the entire issued and paid-up share capital of ICFG Pte Ltd for 177,840,000 firm Consideration Shares at a deemed valuation of USD 0.80 per share (nominal value USD 0.80), valuing the Company at USD 146,209,000.
The acquisition has been treated as a reverse acquisition and hence accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2. Although the transaction resulted in ICFG Pte Ltd becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the transaction constitutes a reverse acquisition as the previous shareholders of ICFG Pte Ltd own a substantial majority of the Ordinary Shares of the Company and the executive management of ICFG Pte Ltd became the executive management of ICFG Limited. In substance, the shareholders of ICFG Pte Ltd acquired a controlling interest in the Company and the transaction has therefore been accounted for as a reverse acquisition. The reverse acquisition falls under IFRS 2 rather than IFRS 3 as the activities of ICFG Limited (the 'Legal Parent') do not constitute a business.
The following table summarises the consideration paid for the Legal Parent through the reverse acquisition and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. The financial comparatives relate to Legal Subsidiary rather than the Legal Parent as the consolidated financial statements represent a continuation of the financial statements of the Legal Subsidiary.
In accordance with IFRS 2, the value of obtaining the listing under a reverse acquisition is calculated on the net assets of the legal parent. The share-based payment of USD 154,891,000 arising from the acquisition is attributable to the value of the parent company being an LSE main market listed entity to the Legal Subsidiary and has been recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income.

As the Reverse Takeover was completed on 12th February 2025, the income statement for the six months ended 30th June 2025 comprised of the information of the subsidiaries for the period 1st Jan 2025 to 30th June 2025 and for ICFG Limited for the period 12th Feb to 30th June 2025.
Management is not aware of any other events that occurred after the end of the reporting period until the date the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were approved for release, which would have any impact on these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other than the Board and Management changes noted in the Chief Executive Officer's Statement, the following events took place since 30 June 2025.
ICFG Loan Notes: On 15 September 2025, ICFG raised £330,000 through the issuance of loan notes under an unsecured loan note instrument.

Invescore NBFI Financing Facility: Invescore NBFI obtained a financing facility equivalent to US$20 million from FMO Entrepreneurial Development Bank (Netherlands). The senior loan is denominated in MNT, with a five-year term. In accordance with FMO's sustainability mandate, at least 10% of the facility will be allocated to green initiatives as defined by the "FMO Master Green List," while the remaining 90% will be directed to micro and SME sub-loans, particularly targeting underserved agricultural, rural, women-led, and youth-owned businesses, supporting both financial inclusion and climate action objectives.
