Notes to the Separate interim Financial Statements for the period Ended 30 June 2025
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision
affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both
current and future years.
e. Judgments
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the
amounts recognized in the separate financial statements is included in the following notes:
- Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized as detailed in the accounting policies applied.
- Equity-accounted investees and associates Companies:
Determining whether the Company has significant influence over Companies and investees.
- Lease contracts classification.
In the process of classifying properties, management has made various judgements. Judgement is needed to
determine whether a property qualifies as an investment property, property, plant and equipment and/or property
held for sale. The Company develops criteria in order to exercise that judgement consistently in accordance with
the definitions of investment property, property, plant and equipment and property held for sale. In making its
judgement, management considered the detailed criteria and related guidance for the classification of properties
as set out in EAS 2, EAS 49, and EAS 10, and the intended usage of property as determined by management.
Incremental Borrowing Rates (IBRs) applied in right of use calculation.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily
determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing
rate as the discount rate. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from
various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of
asset leased.
The company cannot easily determine the implicit interest rate in the lease contract, and therefore it uses the
incremental borrowing rate to measure the lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate is the interest rate that
the company must pay in order to borrow the necessary financing over a similar term and with a similar guarantee
to obtain an asset of the same value as the “right of use” asset in a similar economic environment. Therefore, the
incremental borrowing rate reflects what the company has to pay, which requires an estimate when published
rates are not available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease.

- Recognition of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities and their measurement
Income taxes, whether current or deferred, are determined the Company in accordance with the tax law
requirements.
The Company's profit is subject to income tax, which requires the use of significant estimates to determine the
total income tax liability. As determining the final tax liability for some transactions could be difficult during the
year, the Company record current tax liability according to its' best estimate about the taxable treatment of that
transactions and the possibility of incurring of additional tax charges that may result from the tax inspection. And
when a difference arises between the final tax liability and what is being recorded, such difference is recorded as
income tax expense and current tax liability in the current period and to be considered as change in accounting
estimates.
For recognition of deferred tax assets, management uses assumptions about the availability of sufficient taxable
profits allowing use of recognized tax assets in the future. Management also uses assumptions related to
determination of the applicable tax rate at the financial statements date at which deferred tax assets and liabilities
are expected to be settled in the future.
This process requires the use of multiple and complex estimates in estimating and determining the taxable pool
and temporary deductible taxable differences resulting from the difference between the accounting basis and the
tax basis for some assets and liabilities. In addition to estimating the extent to use deferred tax assets arising from
carry forward tax losses, in the light of making estimates of future taxable profits and future plans for each of the
activities.

When determining the fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the separate
carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized
directly in the profit or loss statement.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the
revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the carrying amount does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss existed for the
carriage amount of asset in prior periods, A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately
in the standalone statement of profit or loss.

Notes to the Separate interim Financial Statements for the period Ended 30 June 2025
A certain number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require measurement of
fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
Accreditation is measured in the fair value of assets and liabilities mainly on available market data,
and the data that is relied upon in the evaluation is classified according to the following hierarchy:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs of the quoted prices included in level (1) that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable inputs).
- The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end
of the financial year during which the change has occurred.
- Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in
the following notes:

Company is exposed to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
A. Credit risk
B. Liquidity risk
C. Market risk
D. Currency risk
E. Interest rate risk
F. Other market price risk
This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Company’s
objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, as well as the Company management of
capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these separate financial statements.
The Board of Directors of the Parent Company has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight
of the Company’s risk management framework. The Board also identifies and analyzes the risks faced by the
Company, sets appropriate risk limits and controls, and monitors risks and adherence to limits.
The Company aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment through which all
employees understand their roles and obligations.
A- Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk as a result of the counterparty's failure to fulfill its
contractual obligations when due, in respect of the following:
Trade receivables
Debtors and other debit balances
Due from related parties
Employees' accruals
Advance Payments
Cash in banks and on hand
Credit risk is the risk that a company will suffer financial loss as a result of the failure of
the client or counterparty of a financial instrument to fulfill its contractual obligations,
arising mainly from customers. The book value of financial assets represents the maximum
credit risk.
The company's exposure to credit risk is mainly influenced by the individual characteristics
of each client. However, management also takes into account factors that may affect the
credit risk of its customer base, including the risk of default associated with the industry
and the sector in which customers operate.
27
LECICO EGYPT (S.A.E.)
Notes to the Separate interim Financial Statements for the period Ended 30 June 2025
For clients, the company has established a credit policy according to which each new client
is individually analyzed according to solvency before submitting the entity's standard
payment and delivery terms and conditions, and includes a review of financial statements,
information about the business and in some cases bank references. Each customer is
assigned a credit limit and reviewed periodically.
When monitoring customer credit risk, clients are grouped according to their credit
characteristics, history of dealing with the company and the presence of previous financial
difficulties.
B- Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will not fulfill its obligations according to the
contractual term with third parties. The Company's approach to liquidity management is to
ensure - whenever possible - that it has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations on their
maturity date in normal and critical circumstances without incurring unacceptable losses or
damaging the Company's reputation.
The ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management lies with senior management who
have developed an appropriate liquidity risk management framework to manage the
Company's short, medium and long-term funding and manage liquidity requirements.
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities,
and standby borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring expected and actual cash
flows, and by matching asset maturity dates and financial obligations.
Management forecasts cash flows and monitors successive forecasts of the Company's
liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet its operational needs
while always maintaining sufficient amount of committed and undrawn credit facilities so
that the Company does not violate borrowing limits or undertakings (if any) on any of its
borrowing facilities. This forecast considers the company's debt financing plans and
compliance with internal rate targets.
C- Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates,
interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income and expenses or the value
of its holdings of financial instruments.
The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure
within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

LECICO EGYPT (S.A.E.)
Notes to the Separate interim Financial Statements for the period Ended 30 June 2025
D- Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to
a change in the foreign exchange rates.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on purchases from foreign suppliers and
loans denominated in foreign currency. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily
US Dollar, Euro, Sterling Pound and South African Rand.
The following table displays the impact of an acceptable possible change in the exchange
rates of the US dollar, the euro, the British pound and the South African rand. With all
other variables remaining constant, the impact on the company's profits before taxation is
due to changes in the value of monetary assets and liabilities. Changes in the exchange
rates of all other foreign currencies are considered immaterial.
Credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum exposure to credit risk as follows:

The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss. The Company does not designate derivatives (interest rate swaps) as hedging instruments under a fair
value hedge accounting model. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the separate financial statements date
would not affect the separate statement of profit or loss.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
- "Fair value" is the price that will be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of an
obligation in a structured transaction between market participants on the date of measurement in
the asset or, in its absence, in the most advantageous market that the Company has access on that
date. The fair value of liabilities reflects the risk of non-performance.
- A number of accounting policies and disclosures require a company to measure the fair values of
both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
- The company has consistent practices regarding the measurement of fair values. Management is
fully responsible for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including the third fair
value level.
- When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, evaluators use market data that is as
observable as possible. Fair values are classified into different levels in the fair value sequence
based on the inputs used in valuation methods as follows:
Level I: Prices listed (unadjusted) in active markets for similar assets or liabilities
Level II: Inputs other than the prices listed are included in the first level and can
be observed for the asset or liability either directly (e.g. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from
prices)
Level III: Asset or liability inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobserved
inputs)
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability fall at different levels of the fair
value hierarchy, then the entire fair value measurement is classified at the same level of the fair
value hierarchy as the lowest level of input as it is important for the entire measurement.
The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the
reporting period during which the change occurred.
nominal values minus any estimated credit adjustments to assets and liabilities with a maturity of
less than one year are expected to approximate their fair value. The fair values of non-current
financial obligations are considered to be close to their book values because they carry interest
rates, which are based on market interest rates.

temporarily held by the company (treasury shares) if any are suspended until those shares
are reissued.
- Capital management
The policy of the company's board of directors is to maintain a strong capital in order to
maintain the confidence of investors, creditors and the market, as well as to meet future
developments of the activity.
The company's board of directors monitors the return on capital, which the company

32-2 Revenue from contracts with Customers
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized by the company based on five step -
:module as identified in EAS No. 48
Step 1: Determine the contract (contracts) with customer: A contract is defined as an
agreement between two or more parties that meets the rights and obligations based on
specified standards which must be met for each contract.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price: Transaction price is the compensation amount that
the Company expects to recognize to receive for the transfer of goods or services to
customer, except for the collected amounts on behalf of other parties.
Step 4: Allocation of the transaction price of the performance obligations in the contract: If
the service concession arrangement contains more than one performance obligation, the
Company will allocate the transaction price on each performance obligation by an amount
that specifies an amount against the contract in which the Company expects to receive in
exchange for each performance obligation satisfaction.
Step 5: Revenue recognition when the entity satisfies its performance obligations.
The Company satisfy the performance obligation and recognize revenue over time, if one
of the following criteria is met:
a) Company performance does not arise any asset that has an alternative use of the Company
and the Company has an enforceable right to pay for completed performance until the date.
b) The Company arise or improves a customer-controlled asset when the asset is arise or
improved.
c) The customer receives and consumes the benefits of Company performance at the same time
as soon as the Company has performed.
For performance obligations, if one of the above conditions is met, revenue is recognized in
the period in which the Company satisfies performance obligation.
When the Company satisfies performance obligation by providing the services promised, it
creates an asset based on payment for the contract performance obtained, when the amount
of the contract received from customer exceeds the amount of the revenue recognized,
resulting advance payments from the customer (contractual obligation)
Revenue is recognized to the extent that is potential for the flow of economic benefits to the
Company, revenue and costs can be measured reliably, where appropriate.

Revenue recognition
a. Product sales
Management evaluated the impact of applying the standard by applying the model referred to above and
concluded that the current basis for revenue recognition is still appropriate because the only performance
obligation is to deliver the quantities sold to its customers , whether domestic or export , since according to
the agreements concluded with customers , the company transfers control over the quantities sold to
customers according to the following :
Local sales : The date of authorization for the goods to leaves the company’s gates.
Export Sales : according to shipping term.
The value of revenue is measured by fair value of consideration received or due to the facility. Revenue is
realized when there is sufficient economic benefits that will flow to the facility ,and the value of this
revenue can be measured accurately No revenue is recognized in the event that not certain that the
consideration will be recovered for this or cost associated with it.
b. Services revenue
Service revenue is recognized when the service is rendered to customers. No revenue is recognized if there
is uncertainty for the consideration or its associated costs
c. Dividends
Dividends income is recognized in the separated statement of profit or loss on the date the Company’s right
to receive payments is established.

Losses of hedging contracts for foreign exchange rates;
Interest income or expense is recognized using the effective interest method.
Dividends are recognized in the profit or loss statement at the date of declaration of these
dividends.
A deferred tax asset arising from the carrying forward of tax losses, the right to unused tax
deduction and temporary deductible differences are recognized when there is a strong
possibility of future taxable profits from which that asset can be used. The future tax profit
is determined by the company's future business plan. The position of unrecognized deferred
tax assets is reassessed at the end of each fiscal period and deferred tax assets that have not
previously been recognized are recognized to the extent that it is likely in the future that
there will be a tax profit that allows the value of the deferred tax asset to be absorbed.
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates expected to be applied when temporary
differences are realized, using tax rates in force or in the process of being issued.
When measuring deferred tax at the end of the financial period, the tax effects of the
procedures followed by the company for recovery or payment of the book value of its assets
and liabilities are taken into account.

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value. The cost of inventories
is based on the weighted average method. The cost also includes other expenses incurred
by the company to bring the inventory to its location and its current condition.
The net realisable value is determined on the basis of the expected selling price under
normal circumstances, minus the estimated costs required to complete the sale.
Any impairment in the value of the inventory caused by a decrease in the net realisable
value of the inventory is recognized in its book value, as are all other inventory losses, as
an expense in the year in which the decrease or loss occurs.
32-7-3 Depreciation
The depreciable value of a fixed asset – which is the cost of the asset – is depreciated
according to the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each type of fixed
asset, and depreciation is charged to profits or losses. Land is not depreciated
The estimated useful lives of fixed assets for current and comparative periods are as
follows:
Estimated useful lives
Asset (Years)
Buildings and constructions 20 - 40
Machinery and equipment 3-10
Vehicles 5
Tools 5
Furniture & office equipment 10
Computers 5
The methods of useful lives and the estimated value of assets are reviewed on the date of the
financial statements.

A debt investment is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it meets both of the
following conditions and is not designated as at fair value through profit or loss:
- It is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash
flows and selling financial assets.
- Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably
elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. This election is made on an
investment-by-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or fair value through other
comprehensive income as described above are measured at fair value through profit or loss. This
includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a
financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value
through other comprehensive income as at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or
significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets
The Company makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a
portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed, and information is provided to
management. The information considered includes:
- The stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These
include whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a
particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related
liabilities or expected cash outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets;
- How the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Company’s management; and
- The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that
business model) and how those risks are managed;
- How managers of the business are compensated – e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of
the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and
- The frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales
and expectations about future sales activity.
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for de-recognition are not
considered sales for this purpose, consistent with the Company’s continuing recognition of the assets.
Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value
basis are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets – Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and
interest
For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial
recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated
with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and
costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company
considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a
contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet
this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers:
Contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
Terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features;
Prepayment and extension features; and
Terms that limit the Company’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment
amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding,
which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a
financial asset acquired at a discount or premium to its contractual per amount, a feature that permits or requires
prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid)
contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated
as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.
Financial assets at These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
amortized cost effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment
losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and
impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on de-
recognition is recognized in profit or loss.
Equity investments These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are
at fair value recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly
through other represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net
comprehensive gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to
income profit or loss.
Debt investments These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income
at fair value calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains
through other and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net
comprehensive gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On de-recognition, gains and
income losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either measured at amortized cost or at fair value through profit or
loss. A financial liability is classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is designated as held for
trading, or if it is a derivative or designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial liabilities measured
at fair value through profit or loss recognize gains and losses, including any interest expenses, in the
profit or loss statement. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method. Interest expenses and foreign exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit
or loss. Any gain or loss upon derecognition is also recognized in the profit or loss statement.
Financial Liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, either through settlement, cancellation, or
expiration of the term specified in the contract. The company also derecognizes a financial liability when
its terms are modified, and the cash flows of the modified liabilities differ significantly; in this case, a
new financial liability is recognized based on the modified terms at fair value.
Upon derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount settled and the
consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities incurred) is recognized in the
profit or loss statement.

32-12 Impairment
Non-derivative financial assets
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since
initial recognition and when estimating expected credit losses, the Company considers
reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or
effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analyses, based on the
company's historical experience and known credit rating including forward-looking
information.
The Company assumes that the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly if it
has been past due for collection for a period of more than 30 days.

Measure expected credit losses
It is a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. The present value of all cash shortfalls is
measured (ie the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the
contract and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive).
Expected credit losses are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
Debt write-off
The total gross book value of a financial asset is written off when the company has no
reasonable expectations of recovering all or part of the financial asset. For individual clients,
the Company has a policy of writing off the gross book value when the financial asset is more
than two years due based on previous experience in recovering similar assets. For corporate
clients, the Company makes an assessment on its own as to the timing and amount of write-
offs based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company does not
expect any significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that
have been written off may still be subject to compliance activities in order to comply with the
Company's procedures for recovery of amounts owed.
32-13 Provisions
Provisions are valued at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at a
before tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the liability. An increase in the carrying amount of a provision
resulting from the use of discounting to create a present value that reflects the passage of
time is recognized as a borrowing cost

32-14 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances and time deposits. For the purposes of
preparing the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash
balances in the fund, current accounts with banks, term deposits, and treasury bills, which
do not exceed three months. Overdraft bank balance, which is paid upon request, is
considered part From the company’s management of cash
32-15 Dividends
Dividends are recognized as a liability in the period in which the dividends are announced.
The Value of provisions is determined as the present value of expected future cashflows
discounted at pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value
of money and risks specified to the liability . The increase in the carrying value of the
provision resulting from the use of discounting to find present value , which reflects the
passage of time is recognized as a borrowing cost.
32-16 Loans
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. They are
subsequently measured at amortized cost, with any difference between the proceeds (net of
transaction costs) and recoverable value recognized in profit or loss over the life of the loans
using the effective interest method.

32-21 Lease contracts
1- Determine whether the arrangement contains a rental contract or not
At the inception of the arrangement, the company determines whether the arrangement is or
contains a lease.
At inception or on reassessment of an arrangement containing a lease, the Company separates the
payments and other consideration required by the arrangement into those of the lease and those
of other components on the basis of their relative fair values.
If the company concludes in a finance lease that it is not possible to reliably separate the
payments, then the asset and liability are recognized at an amount equal to the fair value of the
underlying asset; After that, the obligation is reduced when the payments are made, and the
financing cost is recognized, calculated on the obligation, using the company's incremental
borrowing rate.
2- Leased assets
Leases of property, plant and equipment that transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership to the Company are classified as finance leases. Leased assets are initially measured
at an amount equal to the lower of the fair value of the fair value and the present value of the
minimum lease payments. After initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance
with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
Assets held under other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognized in the
company's statement of financial position.
3- Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis
over the lease term. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease
expense, over the term of the lease.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between finance charges
and reduction of outstanding obligations. Finance expenses are charged for each lease period to
reach a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
