International General Insurance Holdings Ltd.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At 30 June 2022
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
International General Insurance Holdings Ltd. ("the Company") is an exempted limited liability company registered and incorporated in Bermuda under the Companies Act of 1981 on 28 October 2019. The principal activities of the Company are to invest in companies engaged in the business of insurance and reinsurance. The Company's registered office is at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton, HM11, Bermuda.
On 17 March 2020, the definitive business agreement between International General Insurance Holdings Limited - Dubai ("IGI") and Tiberius Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: TIBR) ("Tiberius"), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, and certain related parties, was effective. As a result of the completion of the Business Combination, the Company became a new public company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "IGIC" and owned by the former stockholders of Tiberius and the former shareholders of IGI and each of IGI and Tiberius became the Company's subsidiaries.
The transaction was accounted for as a continuation of IGI. Under this method of accounting, while the Company was the legal acquirer of both IGI and Tiberius, IGI had been identified as the accounting acquirer of Tiberius for accounting purposes. This determination was primarily based on IGI comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, IGI's senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company, and the former owners and management of IGI having control of the board of directors of the Company following the consummation of the transaction by virtue of being able to appoint a majority of the directors of the combined company.
As Tiberius did not meet the definition of a business as defined in IFRS 3 - Business Combinations ("IFRS 3"), the purchase of the shares of the former owners of Tiberius was not within the scope of IFRS 3 and was accounted for as a share-based payment transaction in accordance with IFRS 2 - Share-based payments ("IFRS 2"). Hence, the transaction was accounted for as the continuance of IGI with recognition of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of Tiberius at fair value. Operations prior to the transaction were those of IGI from an accounting point of view.
The Company and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") operate in the Bermuda, United Kingdom, Jordan, Morocco, Malaysia, Malta, United Arab Emirates and the Cayman Islands.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on XXXX August 2022.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented in United States Dollars ("USD") which is also the Group's functional currency. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (USD '000), except when otherwise indicated.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2021. In addition, results for the six months ended 30 June 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the financial year ending 31 December 2022.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention modified to include the measurement at fair value of financial assets and investment properties at fair value through profit or loss, and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss include quoted funds, alternative investments and quoted equities. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include quoted and unquoted equities.

International General Insurance Holdings Ltd.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At 30 June 2022
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
Basis of consolidation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of International General Insurance Holdings Ltd. and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2022. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
● | Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee) |
● | Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and |
● | The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns |
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
● | The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee |
● | Rights arising from other contractual arrangements |
● | The Group's voting rights and potential voting rights |
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

The Group has an investment in an unquoted bond denominated in JOD (USD pegged currency) issued by 'Specialized Investment Compound Co.' a local company based in Jordan which had an original maturity date of 22 February 2016. However, this company is currently under liquidation, due to which 85% of the original bond holdings with a nominal value amounting to USD 1,236 thousand were not paid on that maturity date. This bond is backed up by collateral in the form of real estate properties. However, the Group management has provided USD 450 thousand to cover any potential impairment in the value of the collateral held against said investment by discounting the expected future cash flows generated from the underlying bond collaterals which mainly represent rental income. |

The Group has two unquoted equity investments under level 3 designated at fair value through OCI valued at USD 6,802 thousand (31 December 2021: USD 6,614 thousand) and USD 403 thousand (31 December 2021: USD 432 thousand). As at 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021, the Group has measured the fair value of the unquoted investment valued at USD 6,802 thousand (31 December 2021: USD 6,614 thousand) by adopting a market valuation approach namely 'multiples-based valuation' whereby earnings-based multiples of comparable companies were considered for the valuation. As at 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021, the Group has measured the fair value of the unquoted investment valued at USD 403 thousand (31 December 2021: USD 432 thousand), by adopting a market valuation approach namely 'multiples-based valuation' whereby earnings-based multiples of comparable companies were considered for the valuation. |
There are no active markets for these investments.

The addition of allowance for bonds at FVTOCI for the period ended 30 June 2022 of USD 745 thousand (see note 13) does not change the carrying amount of these investments (which are measured at fair value but gives rise to an equal and opposite gain in OCI).

This has implied an equity value range of USD 6,374 thousand to USD 7,230 thousand (30 June 2021: USD 5,778 thousand to USD 7,076 thousand). |

The inflation in Lebanon has increased significantly in prior years, and the underlying quantitative and qualitative indicators following the deteriorating economic conditions and currency controls support the conclusion that Lebanon is a hyperinflationary economy.
Accordingly, for the purpose of the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the associates' financial statements (which are based on historical cost approach, except for the investment properties which are measured at fair value) have been adjusted to be expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period by applying a general price index.
The associates' main business is investing in investment properties located in Beirut, Lebanon. The investment properties of the associates are stated at fair value to bring the associated companies' accounting policies in line with that of the Group's. The fair values of the investment properties have been determined by management and in doing so, management has considered valuation performed by third party specialist. The valuation model used was in accordance with that recommended by the International Valuation Standards Committee. The investment properties are valued using the sales comparison approach. Under the sales comparison approach, a property's fair value is estimated based on comparable transactions. The sales comparison approach is based upon the principle of substitution under which a potential buyer will not pay more for the property than it will cost to buy a comparable substitute property. The unit of comparison applied by the Group is the price per square meter (sqm) which represents the significant unobservable input used in the valuation process.
The real estate market in Lebanon has changed significantly since the onset of the financial crisis that affected the country. Due to the relatively limited information available under the prevailing market conditions, and as a result of artificial demand created by investors outside the professional real estate development industry, who primarily aim to divest from cash assets into more secure holdings, prices found on the market are uncertain. Furthermore, since the majority of property owners are only accepting payments in US Dollars and not in local Lebanese currency, demand for commercial buildings has dropped considerably. Accordingly, prices found on the market at 30 June 2022, including achieved sales prices, are only indicative and may not hold if the market were to be corrected.
All the investment properties generated rental income during the current year and the prior years, except for Sina SAL which did not generate rental income during the six months ended 30 June 2022.

The Group has obtained a proxy and has full control over these investment properties (see note 14). |
The fair values of investment properties have been determined by management and in doing so has considered a valuation performed by third parties who are specialists in valuing these types of investment properties. The valuation model used was in accordance with that recommended by the International Valuation Standards Committee. The investment properties are valued using the sales comparison approach. Under the sales comparison approach, a property's fair value is estimated based on comparable transactions. The sales comparison approach is based upon the principle of substitution under which a potential buyer will not pay more for the property than it will cost to buy a comparable substitute property. The management believes that this valuation technique falls under level 3 of the fair value hierarchy since investment properties market is not very active.

Out of the total amount of key management personnel compensation, an amount of USD 821 thousand (30 June 2021: USD 538 thousand) represents long-term benefits which are the earn out value of share-based expenses resulting from the issuance of restricted share awards to key management personnel during the period pursuant to the 'International General Insurance Holdings Ltd. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan' (see note 11). |
▪ | The Group has paid aircraft management fees and chartering revenues commission in the amount of USD 139 thousand (30 June 2021: USD 131 thousand) to Arab Wings Co. where a shareholder has a controlling interest. As at 30 June 2022, there was an amount of USD 95 thousand payable from Arab Wings Co. (31 December 2021: payable of USD 186 thousand). |
▪ | Included within the investment properties (see note 7) are lands with a total amount of USD 406 thousand (31 December 2021: USD 625 thousand) registered in the name of a former Director of the Group. The Group has obtained a proxy and has full control over these investment properties. |
▪ | In connection with the Business Combination, the Group issued 4,000,000 warrants in exchange for 4,000,000 Tiberius warrants transferred to Wasef Jabsheh (the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors) (see note 9). As at 30 June 2022, none of the Warrants have been exercised or redeemed since originally issued. |
▪ | On 24 March 2022, the Board of Directors approved the grant of 149,377 restricted shares to Wasef Jabsheh (the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors) pursuant to the Group's 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (see note 11). |
15. EaRNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share represents the profits attributable to the ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods.
Diluted earnings per share represents the profits attributable to the ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
As at 30 June 2022, the earnout shares and restricted share awards were unvested, however, since these shares contain a nonforfeitable rights to dividends, whether paid or unpaid, they are considered as participating securities and hence included in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share.
At the closing of the Business Combination the Company issued 17,250,000 warrants, including (i) 12,750,000 warrants issued to former stockholders of Tiberius and (ii) 4,500,000 warrants that were issued in exchange for 4,000,000 Tiberius warrants transferred to Wasef Jabsheh and 500,000 Tiberius warrants transferred to Argo Re Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (see note 9 and 19). The Warrants were not included in the calculation of the diluted earnings per shares, as the average market price of ordinary shares during the period has not exceeded the exercise price of the Warrants and therefore their effect would be antidilutive.

17. Fair value
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation techniques:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

18. Segment Reporting
The Group's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Executive Committee, which periodically reviews financial information at the business line level. Thus, each of the business lines in which the Group operates are considered operating segments.
The Group has aggregated operating segments into the following reporting segments for the purposes of its interim condensed consolidated financial statements:
1. | Specialty Long tail (comprising business lines with underwriting risks assumed in form of liability insurance and of a long-term nature with respect to related claims). |
2. | Specialty Short tail (comprising business lines with underwriting risks assumed in the form of property and specialty line insurance and of a short-term nature with respect to related claims). |
3. | Reinsurance which covers the inward reinsurance treaty and is a single operating segment. |
The Group is of the view that the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the aggregated operating segments are similar in nature for all periods presented. In evaluating the appropriateness of aggregating operating segments, the key indicators considered included but were not limited to: (i) nature of products, (ii) similarities of customer base, products, underwriting processes and outward reinsurance processes, (iii) regulatory environments and (iv) distribution methods.
Segment performance is evaluated based on net underwriting results and is measured consistently with the overall net underwriting results in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Group also has general and administrative expenses, net investment income, gain/loss on foreign exchange, other expenses/revenues, change in fair value of derivative financial liability and tax expense. These financial items are presented under "Corporate and Other" in the tables below as the Group does not allocate them to individual reporting segments.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At 30 June 2022
19. ACQUISITION OF A SUBSIDIARY
Following the United Kingdom's ("UK") decision to withdraw from the European Union ("EU") ("Brexit"), the U.K. began a process of "onshoring" EU legislation whereby the UK replicated EU law in UK legislation and regulation and then amended it so that it would be operationally effective following the end of the Brexit transition period on December 31, 2020. As an automatic consequence of the UK's departure from the EU's single market, passporting rights to and from the UK ended at the end of the transition period. Passporting is the exercise of the right available to a firm authorised in one European Economic Area ("EEA") member state to carry on certain activities covered by an EU single market directive in another EEA member state, on the basis of its home state authorisation. For firms based in the UK, this means the loss of access to EU markets. As of the end of the transition period, the Group's subsidiary in UK has lost its passporting rights in the EU, such that it can no longer write insurance business in EEA countries under the "freedom of services" regime or write insurance business through a place of business in an EEA member state under the "freedom of establishment" regime using the rights contained in the European Council's Solvency II Directive.
In response to Brexit, the Group developed a contingency plan to ensure that it will be able to continue to provide insurance services throughout Europe despite Brexit. To that end, the Group submitted an application and scheme of operations to the Malta Financial Services Authority in November 2020. The application can be used as a change of control application or a full new licensing application.
In continuation to the above, the Group acquired 100% of the voting shares of R&Q Epsilon Insurance Company SE ("R&Q Epsilon"), a non-listed company based in Malta engaged in the business of insurance in certain classes of general insurance business. Simultaneously, with the execution of the acquisition agreement, the new subsidiary was renamed International General Insurance Company (Europe) SE ("IGI Europe").
The strategy to purchase R&Q Epsilon, as opposed to incorporating a new subsidiary from afresh, was based on operational factors. R&Q Epsilon already had an operational UK based bank account and, given the requirement to use the Xchanging payment platform for broker-based business (especially where the Group is co-ensuring the European risks on global business), it was necessary for the Group to have an account for IGI Europe with a bank that is part of the LIPS (LPC Irrevocable Payment Scheme).
The acquisition agreement of R&Q Epsilon Insurance Company SE (former company) was fully executed on 25 June 2021 (the "Acquisition Date") for a purchase consideration of USD 6,200 thousand.
The Group accounted for the acquisition of R&Q Epsilon under IFRS 3 "Business Combinations".
The book and fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of International General Insurance Company (Europe) SE as at the date of acquisition were:

Goodwill arising on acquisition of former company was fully impaired since the regulatory approval to write business was granted solely on the strength of IGI Europe's application and business plan submitted to Malta Financial Services Authority.
From the date of acquisition until 31 December 2021, International General Insurance Company (Europe) SE contributed USD 9,768 thousand of gross written premiums and USD 1,181 thousand of net loss to profit before tax of the Group.

On 13 July 2021, the Malta Financial Services Authority ("MFSA") authorised IGI Europe to write insurance and reinsurance business.
As at 30 June 2021 (the end of the first reporting period), the Group had provisionally accounted for the acquisition of R&Q Epsilon and accordingly determined that the fair value of the net assets and liabilities was approximately equivalent to the book value. Nonetheless, in accordance with the one-year measurement period permitted under IFRS 3, the Group had reassessed the provisional carrying amount of net identified asset and liabilities of R&Q Epsilon at 31 December 2021 and accordingly reflected the new information obtained about facts and circumstances that were in existence at the Acquisition Date as illustrated above.
