In 2021, following medical breakthrough with vaccines for the Covid 19 pandemic, a number of countries, including Nigeria, had relaxed the strict rules around social distancing and other COVID- 19 protocol. This has positive impact on our ability to return most of our staff back to the office without necessarily letting go of the flexibility and efficiency that came along with the remote working regime. It also enabled our marketing activities as the nature of our businesses still demand some level of physical engagement with existing and potential customers.

In 2022, most of the general apprehension about COVID 19 had literally disappeared, aside from its resurgence in China towards the third quarter of the year. But, global air travel had resumed in full swing and this impacted positively on our Aviation Insurance class of business. Suffice to mention that COVID 19 had no adverse economic on our business during the period.

CONSOLIDATED HALLMARK INSURANCE PLC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

These financial statements are the separate and consolidated financial statement of the company and its subsidiaries (together, "the group"). The group's financial statements for the year 2021 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board ("IASB"), and interpretations issued by IFRS's interpretation committee (IFRIC) and in compliance with the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria Act, No 6, 2011.

These are the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, prepared in accordance with IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements.

1.1.2 Application of new and amended standards

New and amended standards and interpretations

New standards and interpretations

6.1 Standards and interpretations effective for the first time for 31 December 2022 year end

In the current year, the Group has adopted the following standards and interpretations that are effective for the current financial year and that are relevant to its operations:

Reference to the Conceptual Framework -Amendments to IFRS 3

In May 2020, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations - Reference to the Conceptual Framework. The amendments are intended to replace a reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements, issued in 1989, with a reference to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued in March 2018 without significantly changing its requirements.

The Board also added an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential "day 2" gains or losses arising for liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 Levies, if incurred separately.

At the same time, the Board decided to clarify existing guidance in IFRS 3 for contingent assets that would not be affected by replacing the reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and apply prospectively. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use - Amendments to IAS 16

In May 2020, the IASB issued Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds before Intended Use, which prohibits entities from deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss.

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and must be applied retrospectively to items of property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented when the entity first applies the amendment. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

Onerous Contracts - Costs of Fulfilling a Contract - Amendments to IAS 37

In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37 to specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making.

CHI PLC Q3 2023

Page 5

CONSOLIDATED HALLMARK INSURANCE PLC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

The amendments apply a "directly related cost approach". The costs that relate directly to a contract to provide goods or services include both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities. General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The Group will apply these amendments to contracts for which it has not yet fulfilled all its obligations at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies the amendments. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards - Subsidiary as a first- time adopter

As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendment permits a subsidiary that elects to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1 to measure cumulative translation differences using the amounts reported by the parent, based on the parent's date of transition to IFRS. This amendment is also applied to an associate or joint venture that elects to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1.

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The amendments is not applicable to the Group.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - Fees in the '10 per cent' test for derecognition of financial liabilities

As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process the IASB issued amendment to IFRS 9. The amendment clarifies the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received by the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other's behalf. An entity applies the amendment to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment.

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The Group will apply the amendments to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17), a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. Once effective, IFRS 17 will replace IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (IFRS 4) which was issued in 2005. IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (i.e., life, non-life, direct insurance and re-insurance), regardless of the type of entities that issue them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features. A few scope exceptions will apply. The overall objective of IFRS 17 is to provide an accounting model for insurance contracts that is more useful and consistent for insurers. In contrast to the requirements in IFRS 4, which are largely based on grandfathering previous local accounting policies, IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects. The core of IFRS 17 is the general model, supplemented by:

CHI PLC Q3 2023

Page 6

CONSOLIDATED HALLMARK INSURANCE PLC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

  • A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable fee approach)
  • A simplified approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short-duration contracts
  1. Level of aggregation
  2. Liability Measurement
  3. Presentation and disclosure
  4. Production Classification
  5. Transition Approach

(1) LEVEL OF AGGREGATION

(1a) IDENTIFICATION OF PORFOLIO OF CONTRACT;- There three options provided by the standard. These are;

Current Product Segmentation;- Where the current product segmentation meets the requirements of IFRS 17, the current product segmentation option may be adopted.

Further Breakdown of Current Product Segmentation: - To meet the requirement of IFRS 17, an entity may decide to further breakdown the current product segmentation based on contracts with similar risks that are managed together.

Create a New Product Portfolio: - A new product portfolio may be created to meet the requirements of IFRS 17.

The Group has adopted the Current Product Segmentation because this is what CHI PLC does currently and the Naicom grouping meets this requirement as each group has similar risk and can be managed together.

(1b) DETERMINATION OF COHORTS:- There three options provided by the standard. These are;

Quarterly Cohorts:- Group the contracts into quarterly time buckets that coincides with an entity's quarterly reporting period.

Semi-AnnualCohorts:- Alternatively, group the contracts into semi-annual time buckets that coincides with entity's half year reporting period.

Annual Cohorts:- Group the contracts into annual time buckets that coincides with an entity's financial reporting period.

The Group has adopted the contracts into quarterly cohorts so as to close each group on a more frequent basis and also identify trends with profitability faster and at a more granular level.

(1c) ASSESSMENT OF PROFITABILITY FOR NON-LIFE:- There three options provided by the standard. These are;

Combined Ratio:- Use the combined ratio to assess the profitability of insurance contracts by comparing the insurance outflows with inflows.

Expected Combined Ratio:- however, under this method, a weighted ratio is derived.

The expected combined ratio is very similar to combined ratio, the profitability of contracts is assessed under different scenarios and

CHI PLC Q3 2023

Page 7

CONSOLIDATED HALLMARK INSURANCE PLC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

Pricing Basis:- Perform annual pricing of each non-life insurance product to determine the profitability of the non-life insurance contracts.

The Group has adopted the option of Expected Combined Ratio. This helps to develop appropriate models to determine possible scenarios and respective scenario weights. However, given that these contracts are one year or less, this approach may be feasible.

(2)LIABILITY MEASUREMENT

(2a) DETERMINATION OF MEASUREMENT MODELS;- There three options provided by the standard. These are;

General Measurement Model (GMM):- Default measurement model for all insurance contracts

Premium Allocation Approach (PAA):- Premium allocation approach (PAA) is an optional measurement model and a simplification to the GMM but can only be applied if certain criteria are met.

Variable Fee Approach (VFA):- Applied if an entity has contracts with direct participatory features.

The Group has adopted the approach of Premium Allocation Approach because its feasible for the group life and non-life contracts because they have a duration of one year or less.

(2b) ESTIMATION OF FULFILLMENT CASH FLOWS:- There three options provided by the standard. These are;

Individual Policies Level:- Estimate fulfillment cash flows at the individual policies/contract level.

Premium Allocation Approach (PAA):- Alternatively, estimate fulfillment cash flows at the unit of account level.

Aggregate portfolio level:- Estimate fulfillment cash flows at a higher level of aggregation. This will entail combining different portfolio of contracts.

The Group has adopted the Individual policies approach since the Company currently has the required data for in-force contracts so it will be easy to allocate the estimated fulfilment cash flows to the different Unit of accounts which is consistent with Level of Aggregation.

(2c) DETERMINATION OF DISCOUNTING APPROACH:- There two options provided by the standard. These are;

Bottom-UpApproach:- Under this approach, a liquid risk-free yield curve is adjusted "to reflect the differences between the liquidity characteristics of the financial instruments that underlie the rates observed in the market and the liquidity characteristics of the insurance contracts."

Top-downapproach:- In this approach, the yield to maturity of a reference portfolio of assets is adjusted "to eliminate any factors that are not relevant to insurance contracts." The liquidity characteristics of the reference portfolio would reasonably reflect the liquidity characteristics of the cash flows, but the entity "is not required to adjust the yield curve for differences in characteristics of the insurance contracts and the reference portfolio.

CHI PLC Q3 2023

Page 8

CONSOLIDATED HALLMARK INSURANCE PLC AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

The Group has adopted the bottom-upapproach as yield curve can be generated from government bonds.

(2d) CALCULATION OF RISK ADJUSTMENT:- There are three options provided by the standard. These are;

Cost of Capital Approach:- Cost of capital approach assesses the cost of holding capital sufficient to cover the relevant risks over the lifetime of the business. It requires judgement to determine the appropriate level of capital in the future and the cost of capital rate. This approach is used to determine the risk margin under Solvency 2.

Value at risk (VAR) approach:- Value at risk approach also called the confidence level technique is calculated with reference to a particular confidence level. Choosing a VAR methodology requires an entity to calculate the discounted value of the best estimate future cash flows under a range of different scenarios to produce a risk distribution.

Tail value at risk approach:- Tail value at risk approach also called conditional tail expectation is also calculated with reference to a particular confidence level, however the tail value at risk is the expected value above that confidence level.

The Group has adopted the option of Cost of Capital Approach. The use of solvency II prescribed cost of capital for its risk margin. This approach could be complex to adopt, the major complexity that will be encountered in adopting this approach will be the determination of the cost of capital rate and the future capital required.

(2e) DETERMINATION OF COVERAGE UNITS FOR CSM AMORTIZATION NON-LIFE:-There three options provided by the standard. These are;

Straight Line Allocation Approach:- This approach requires straight line allocation of CSM over the passage of time but reflecting the number of contracts in a group. This is only applicable where the BBA is adopted for the non-life contracts.

Maximum Contractual Cover Approach:- Under this approach, CSM is amortised based on the maximum contractual cover in each period. This is only applicable where the BBA is adopted for the non-life contracts.

Expected outflows approach:- Under this approach, CSM is amortised based on the amount of expected outflows (e.g. claims expected at inception) over the term of the insurance contract. This is only applicable where the BBA is adopted for the non-life contracts.

The Group has adopted the Maximum contractual cover approach as this is feasible to adopt.

(3)PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURES

(3a) INSURANCE FINANCE AND EXPENSES:- There are two options provided by the standard. These are;

Present Within Profit or Loss:- Accounting policy choice to present the total insurance finance income or expenses in the profit or loss.
