E P P L E Y L I M I T E D 2 0 2 5 A N N U A L R E P O R T 4 About Eppley Eppley Limited is a leading Caribbean investment company headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica. Established in 1973 and listed on the Jamaica Stock Exchange since 2013, the Company invests its own capital and manages capital on behalf of institutional partners across four platforms: a proprietary lending and leasing portfolio, the Eppley Caribbean Property Fund, Caribbean Mezzanine Fund II, and the Capital Infrastructure Group. With assets under management exceeding J$28.5 billion, Eppley focuses exclusively on private markets across the Caribbean in sectors where capital is scarce, inefficiencies are real, and disciplined investors can generate superior risk adjusted returns. Its diversified portfolio spans credit, mezzanine financing, income producing real estate, and essential infrastructure across Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, and St. Vincent & the Grenadines. Eppley owns and manages circa J$2 8.5 billion 1 (US$181 million) across four investment platforms generating J$1.7 billion in Net Profit for the 2025 Financial Year .

E P P L E Y L I M I T E D 2 0 2 5 A N N U A L R E P O R T 5 Letter to Shareholders D E A R F E L L O W S H A R E H O L D E R S , We are pleased to report the results of another exceptional year for Eppley Limited, one that marks our third consecutive year of record performance. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Group delivered a net profit after tax of J$1.7 billion of which J$748 million was attributable to owners, earnings of J$3.98 per stock unit, and a return of 32% on average equity for shareholders. Our net asset value per share closed the year at J$13.81. These results collectively speak to the strength of our platform and the disciplined, long-term approach to capital stewardship that has defined Eppley since we became a public company in 2013. ▌ About Our Business Eppley was established with a clear purpose of unlocking value by addressing inefficiencies in Caribbean financial markets. We believe this approach consistently delivers attractive, risk conscious returns. Our investment strategy centers on private markets rather than traditional publicly traded securities like stocks and bonds. We focus on asset classes such as credit, mezzanine financing, real estate, and infrastructure; segments characterized by lower competition and more significant value creation opportunities. These private markets allow us to leverage our core strengths in origination, negotiation, structuring, and financing. Across every asset class, we apply a disciplined and consistent investment process. Each opportunity is evaluated through a strict lens: Are the potential returns sufficient relative to the risks, and do they offer a meaningful margin of safety? We have built a culture of rigorous risk management, balanced by the conviction to act decisively when high-quality opportunities arise. Beyond investing our own capital, Eppley also manages capital on behalf of investors through vehicles such as the Caribbean Mezzanine Fund, the Eppley Caribbean Property Fund, and the Capital Infrastructure Group. This combination of proprietary investing and fund management has enabled us to build a diversified, high- performing regional investment platform. Our shareholder base is made up of a diverse and committed group from everyday investors to some of the Caribbean’s most prominent institutions. We don’t just see them as shareholders; we see them as partners in our journey. Our priority is to reward their trust by delivering steady, dependable returns year after year; returns that speak to the resilience and discipline at the heart of Eppley’s business.
E P P L E Y L I M I T E D 2 0 2 5 A N N U A L R E P O R T 6 Letter to Shareholders ( C O N T ' D ) O U R P R O P R I E T A R Y P O R T F O L I O This is the capital we invest directly on our own balance sheet across lending, leasing, and other private credit assets. As one of the largest commercial lessors in the Caribbean, we provide equipment finance, working capital loans, and structured credit to established regional businesses, generating steady interest and lease income for our shareholders. Our proprietary investment portfolio was J$7.4 billion at the end of 2025. The following table summarizes our portfolio. Investment Assets J$ millions Cash and bonds 1,036 Loans and Insurance Premium Financing 1,419 Leases 1,800 Investment Securities 3,000 Eppley places significant emphasis on maintaining a healthy liquidity base to support both stability and growth. Although holding elevated cash balances can reduce immediate earnings potential, it strengthens the Company’s ability to navigate periods of volatility, meet obligations comfortably, and respond swiftly when attractive investment opportunities become available. This disciplined approach forms an important part of our overall risk management strategy. As at the end of 2025, the Company’s cash position totaled approximately J$1 billion. In addition, Eppley had access to a further $1 billion through undrawn committed lines of credit, resulting in total available funding capacity in excess of J$2 billion. Leases Eppley has established a meaningful presence in Jamaica’s asset financing sector by providing customized leasing solutions across a broad range of industries. Our portfolio includes everything from transportation fleets and commercial vehicles to specialized equipment used in sectors such as construction, manufacturing, distribution, IT and industrial operations. Our leasing business is driven by strong client relationships and strategic partnerships with suppliers and dealers who rely on us to deliver efficient and flexible financing options. By combining direct customer engagement with vendor based origination channels, we are able to support businesses in acquiring critical operating assets while expanding our reach across key areas of the Jamaican economy. Loans Eppley’s lending activities are focused on providing customized financing solutions to established Jamaican businesses that require a more flexible approach than what is typically available through traditional banking channels. Many of our clients seek financing structures that can accommodate unique timelines, transaction requirements, or business circumstances that conventional institutions may not be equipped to address efficiently.
E P P L E Y L I M I T E D 2 0 2 5 A N N U A L R E P O R T 7 Letter to Shareholders ( C O N T ' D ) Insurance Premium Financing Eppley has long been involved in the insurance premium financing market and was among the early participants in this segment locally. Over time, the business has evolved from primarily serving individual borrowers to focusing more heavily on relationships with insurance companies and larger corporate clients. All consumer oriented lending activities, including insurance premium financing for individuals, are carried out through Eppley Consumer Finance Limited, the Company’s licensed microcredit subsidiary. Our approach to lending is rooted in disciplined credit assessment and commercial practicality. Each transaction is carefully structured with a strong emphasis on risk management, while our streamlined internal processes allow us to respond quickly and deliver a high level of service to clients. C A R I B B E A N M E Z Z A N I N E F U N D I I Caribbean Mezzanine Fund II is a closed-end credit fund providing mezzanine and structured-credit financing to mid-market Caribbean businesses. The Fund delivers attractive risk adjusted returns to its institutional investors and generates recurring management and performance fees for Eppley as its sole investment manager. Effective June 2025, Eppley took full control of the fund manager following the purchase of the remaining 50% interest in the management company. Our intention is to take full advantage of 100% ownership to fully integrate the Fund within Eppley's ecosystem and leverage all the efficiencies that come with shared origination, portfolio management, and back office capabilities across our platforms. E P P L E Y C A R I B B E A N P R O P E R T Y F U N D The Eppley Caribbean Property Fund holds a diversified portfolio of approximately 40 income-producing and is currently the largest publicly listed real estate mutual fund in the Caribbean with commercial properties across Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and St. Vincent . The Fund generates stable rental income and benefits from long-term capital appreciation, with Eppley serving as both a significant investor and the fund manager. The Fund delivered another strong year in 2025, with continued growth in rental income, sustained high occupancy levels across the portfolio, and disciplined capital deployment into accretive acquisitions. Its full-year consolidation within the Group made a meaningful contribution to consolidated net rental income for the year.
E P P L E Y L I M I T E D 2 0 2 5 A N N U A L R E P O R T 8 Letter to Shareholders ( C O N T ' D ) ▌ C A P I T A L I N F R A S T R U C T U R E G R O U P Capital Infrastructure Group (“CIG”) is a strategic infrastructure investment platform established through a joint venture between Eppley Limited and Pan Jamaica Group Limited, focused on identifying and investing in essential infrastructure assets across Jamaica and the wider Caribbean. CIG targets long-term, stable cash- generating projects primarily within the energy, utilities, transportation, and industrial sectors. The platform is designed to capitalize on the region’s growing infrastructure needs while delivering attractive risk- adjusted returns to investors through disciplined capital allocation, active asset management, and strategic partnerships. Through investments such as the Rio Cobre water treatment plant and Pelican Power, CIG continues to build a diversified portfolio of critical infrastructure assets positioned to support regional economic growth and development. Financial Performance Overview The Company achieved total profits after tax of J$1.7 billion for the year of which J$748 million was attributable to owners, this was driven by robust expansion in our lending and leasing portfolios. This performance was underpinned by significant growth in assets under management, which generated J$377 million in management and performance fees, a 29% increase from J$292 million in the prior year. This growth was attributable to enhanced contributions from all units under management including Caribbean Mezzanine Fund II (CMF II) as we now earn 100% of the fees relating to this entity since the share acquisition. Investment property rental income contributed substantially to results at J$575 million, reflecting the full- year impact of the Value Fund consolidation and improved portfolio performance. Collectively, these revenue streams delivered gross investment income of J$1.48 billion, marking year-over-year growth and demonstrating the strength of our diversified business model. Interest expenses increased to J$709 million from J$454 million in the prior year, driven by financing costs acquired to complete key acquisitions during the year and the consolidation of Value Fund borrowings. Notwithstanding these elevated financing costs, the Company delivered robust Net Investment Income of J$770 million. Fair value gains on investment properties totaled J$652 million, primarily reflecting appreciation in the Value Fund portfolio over the full twelve-month period. Fees and other operating income reached J$546 million, bolstered by a J$384 million valuation gain on the CMF II share acquisition. Administrative and other expenses rose to J$586 million, attributable to strategic investments in our new office space and the full-year inclusion of Value Fund operating costs following consolidation which also resulted in an increase in tax expenses. The aforesaid resulted in net profit after tax of J$1.7 billion which J$748 was attributable to owners. As at December 31, 2025, shareholders' equity stood at approximately J$12 billion, with J$2.6 billion attributable to the owners of the Company. This robust capital base reflects the impact of the Value Fund consolidation and the continued strategic expansion of our investment portfolio across multiple asset classes.
E P P L E Y L I M I T E D 2 0 2 5 A N N U A L R E P O R T 9 Letter to Shareholders ( C O N T ' D ) Total assets grew to J$22.7 billion. Cash and deposits declined to J$1 billion from J$1.8 billion in the prior year, reflecting our deliberate strategy to deploy liquidity into higher-yielding loans and leases. Despite this reduction, the Company maintains ample liquidity which is further reinforced by committed standby working capital facilities, ensuring we retain financial flexibility to capitalize on emerging investment opportunities. As at the end of the period the company has total liabilities of J$10.7 billion relating to new borrowings to fund strategic acquisitions. The Company's leverage remains prudently managed, with consolidated leverage significantly below industry averages, while liquidity remains robust supported by strong cash balances and committed funding lines with our banking partners. ▌ Dividend The Board approved a dividend of J$0.97 per share, payable on March 27, 2026, to shareholders on record as of March 13, 2026. We intend to maintain our dividend policy in future periods, subject to the discretion of the Board and the continued performance of the business. ▌ Looking Ahead Eppley enters 2026 from a position of strength, supported by a diversified portfolio, multiple growing business lines, and an expanding regional platform. While the external environment continues to present periods of uncertainty including elevated interest rates, tighter liquidity conditions, and slower economic growth in some markets, we believe these conditions also create attractive opportunities for disciplined capital providers with strong origination capabilities and flexible sources of funding. Our focus in the year ahead will remain centered on growing recurring fee income, deploying capital into high-quality opportunities, and scaling the platforms we believe offer the strongest long-term growth potential. We expect continued momentum within our asset management business, particularly through the expansion of Caribbean Mezzanine Fund II and the further development of institutional partnerships across our real estate and infrastructure platforms. Our proprietary lending and leasing business remains well positioned, supported by disciplined underwriting standards, strong structural protections, and demand for flexible financing solutions across the Caribbean. We expect to continue pursuing opportunities selectively, with a focus on preserving portfolio quality while maintaining attractive risk adjusted returns. To our shareholders, thank you for your trust. We do not take it for granted, and we work every day to earn it. _______________________ P.B. Scott C H A I R M A N _______________________ Nicholas A.

Nathan C.I. Bell - Wisdom G.K. Moore T.N. Smith DaSilva K.D. Powell Independent auditor's report To the Members of Eppley Limited Report on the audit of the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements Our opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and the stand - alone financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of Eppley Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together 'the Group') and the stand - alone financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2025, and of their consolidated and stand - alone financial performance and their consolidated and stand - alone cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and with the re quirements of the Jamaican Companies Act. What we have audited The Group's consolidated and stand - alone financial statements comprise: • the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025; • the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended; • the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended; • the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; • the company statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025; • the company statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended; • the company statement of changes in equity for the year then ended; • the company statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and • the notes to the financial statements, comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code) as applicable to audits of financial statements of public interest entities. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code. Our audit approach Audit scope As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example, in re spect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including, among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. How we tailored our group audit scope We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the in dustry in which the Group operates.
Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Valuation of level 3 unquoted investment securities classified as fair value through other comprehensive income (Group and Company). Refer to notes 2(j), 3(b), 6 and 18 to the financial statements for disclosures of related accounting policies and balances. Investment securities classified as fair value through other comprehensive income for which observable market data was limited and were classified as level 3 investments totalled $407 million for the Group and Company (2% and 6% of total assets for the Gro up and Company, respectively) as at the reporting date. The fair values of financial instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, and for which one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, are classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In these instances, management determines the unobservable inputs using the best information available in the circumstances taking into account all information that is reasonably available. Management utilised a valuation technique that uses a discounted cash flow approach to determine the market value of unquoted investments. Key assumptions and inputs include the use of historical financial information, revenue growth rate and a discount ra te. This was considered a key audit matter due to the lack of available observable market data which resulted in greater estimation uncertainty and subjectivity in relation to the valuation of the level 3 unquoted investments. Our approach to addressing the matter, included the following procedures amongst others: • Evaluated the application of the valuation methodology utilised by management to derive the fair value of the investments against the requirements of the relevant accounting standards and recognised valuation techniques. • Tested the reasonableness of management's valuation assumptions and inputs by: o Referencing historical information in management’s cash flow projections to audited financial statements; o Evaluating the revenue growth rates by assessing them against published inflation rates; and o Comparing the discount rate to that of the rate of return on an appropriate long - term Government of Jamaica instrument. • Tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s discounted cash flow by reperforming the underlying calculations. • Performed sensitivity analyses on the discount rate used in management’s cash flow projections.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Valuation of investment properties (Group) Refer to notes 2(v), 3(b) and 21 to the financial statements for disclosures of related accounting policies and balances. Investment properties represented $9,157 million or 40% of total assets for the Group as at the reporting date. Management, through an independent valuation expert, used the income approach to value investment properties. The approach takes into consideration a number of factors that require estimation and judgement, including: • estimation of rental income; • maintenance costs; • terminal value; • determination of a capitalisation factor; • estimation of vacancy factor; and • discount rates. This was considered a key audit matter as the determination of the fair value of investment properties requires significant judgement and changes in the referenced assumptions may have a significant impact on the carrying value of investment properties. Our approach to addressing the matter, with the assistance of our valuation expert, included the following procedures amongst others: • Assessed the competence and objectivity of management’s property valuation experts in order to determine whether they were appropriately qualified and whether there was any affiliation to the Group. • Assessed the appropriateness of the valuation methodology used in order to evaluate whether it was suitable for determining market value in accordance with the financial reporting framework. • Assessed the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used, including the estimation of future rental income and vacancy rates, maintenance costs, terminal value and the capitalisation and discount rates by agreeing to supporting documentation and inf ormation as well as relevant market data. • Verified the underlying data used by management’s valuation experts by agreeing, on a sample basis, to supporting documentation including rental agreements and relevant third - party invoices. • Assessed the adequacy of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Other information Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Annual Report (but does not include the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements and our auditor's report thereon), which is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report. Our opinion on the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inc onsistent with the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance. Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and with the requirements of the Jamaican Companies Act, and for such interna l control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated and stand - alone financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going conc ern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group and Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if , individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated and stand - alone financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the o verride of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group and Company's internal contr ol. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group or Co mpany's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements or, if such di sclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are respo nsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our i ndependence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated and stand - alone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse conse quences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on other legal and regulatory requirements As required by the Jamaican Companies Act, we have obtained all the information and explanations which, to the best of our knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purposes of our audit.
In our opinion, proper accounting records have been kept, so far as appears from our examination of those records, and the accompanying consolidated and stand - alone financial statements are in agreement therewith and give the information required by the Ja maican Companies Act, in the manner so required. The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Kevin Powell. Chartered Accountants Kingston, Jamaica 1 8 May 2026

Page 10 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 1. Identification and Activities Eppley Limited (the company) is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Jamaica. The company is listed on the Main Market of the Jamaica Stock Exchange. The registered office of the company is located at 58 Half Way Tree Road, Kingston 10. The principal activity of the company is investing in credit products including insurance premium, loan and lease financing and providing asset management services. The company’s subsidiaries together with the company are referred to as “the Group”. During 2024, the Group acquired a 19% interest in the Value Fund of Eppley Caribbean Property Fund Limited SCC, through two of its subsidiaries. The Group now holds a 20% interest in the Value Fund, when accumulated with the 1% interest previously held. This direct interest combined with the Group’s previously held voting rights resulted in the consolidation of the Fund (Note 2 (b) (i)). The investment objective of the Value Fund is to produce annual income and long–term capital gains from a diversified portfolio of income producing properties in the Caribbean. It is expected that the Value Fund will pay out a minimum of 75% of its available distributable profits annually. During 2023, the Group through one of its subsidiaries, acquired a 47% interest in the Development Fund of Eppley Caribbean Property Fund Limited SCC. This direct interest combined with the Group’s previously held voting rights resulted in the consolidation of the Fund (Note 2 (b) (i)). The investment objective of the Development Fund is to realise value in the medium term on its portfolio of development properties in the Caribbean and return capital to shareholders. It is not expected that the Development Fund will pay a regular dividend. 2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies The material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. (a) Basis of preparation These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB (IFRS Accounting Standards). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain financial instruments. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and action, actual results could differ from those estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3. Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards effective in the current year Certain new accounting standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been published that became effective during the current financial year. The Group has assessed the relevance of all such new standards, interpretations and amendments and has adopted the following which is relevant to its operations.
Page 11 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (Continued) (a) Basis of preparation (continued) Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards effective in the current year (continued) Amendments to IAS 21, ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’. (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025). These amendments add requirements to help entities to determine whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency, and the spot exchange rate to use when it is not. Therefore, the amendments will impact an entity when it has a transaction or an operation in a foreign currency that is not exchangeable into another currency at a measurement date for a specified purpose. With these amendments, entities will be better able to assess exchangeability between two currencies and determine the spot rate when exchangeability is lacking. This amendment did not have a significant impact on the Group. Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Group At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been issued which are not yet effective, and which the Group has not early adopted. The Group has assessed the relevance of all such new standards, interpretations and amendments, and has determined that the following may be relevant to its operations and management is currently assessing the impact they may have on the Group: Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026). These amendments: clarify the requirements for the timing of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system; clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”) criterion; add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance (“ESG”) targets); and make updates to the disclosures for equity instruments designated at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (“FVOCI”). Annual improvements to IFRS – Volume 11 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026). Annual improvements are limited to changes that either clarify the wording in an Accounting Standard or correct relatively minor unintended consequences, oversights or conflicts between the requirements in the Accounting Standards. The 2024 amendments are to the following standards, as applicable to the Group and Company: IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and its accompanying Guidance on implementing IFRS 7; IFRS 9 Financial Instruments; IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; and IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows
Page 12 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (Continued) (a) Basis of preparation (continued) IFRS 18, ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027). This is the new standard on presentation and disclosure in financial statements, with a focus on updates to the statement of profit or loss. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to: the structure of the statement of profit or loss; required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity’s financial statements (that is, management-defined performance measures); and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general. IFRS 19, ‘Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures’ (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027). This new standard works alongside other IFRS Accounting Standards. An eligible subsidiary applies the requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards except for the disclosure requirements and instead applies the reduced disclosure requirements in IFRS 19. IFRS 19’s reduced disclosure requirements balance the information needs of the users of eligible subsidiaries’ financial statements with cost savings for preparers. IFRS 19 is a voluntary standard for eligible subsidiaries. A subsidiary is eligible if: it does not have public accountability; and it has an ultimate or intermediate parent that produces consolidated financial statements available for public use that comply with IFRS Accounting Standards. IFRS 19 was amended in August 2025 to help eligible subsidiaries by reducing disclosure requirements for Standards and amendments issued between February 2021 and May 2024, including IFRS 18. Amendments to Illustrative Examples on IFRS 7, IFRS 18, IAS 1, IAS 8, IAS 36 and IAS 37- Disclosures about Uncertainties in the Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027). These amendments include Examples illustrating how an entity applies the requirements in IFRS Accounting Standards to disclose the effects of uncertainties in its financial statements. The Examples demonstrate how to disclose the impacts of uncertainties within climate-related scenarios, but the principles and requirements are also applicable to disclosure of other uncertainties. The Examples do not add to or change requirements in IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore there are no transition requirements. Instead, these Examples will accompany the respective IFRS Accounting Standards to which they relate. The Group is still assessing the impact of adopting the above amendments and new standards.

Summary of Material Accounting Policies (Continued) (b) Consolidation (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the group controls another entity. The Group also assesses existence of control where it does not have more than 50% of the voting power but is able to govern the financial and operating policies by virtue of de–facto control. De–facto control may arise in circumstances where the size of the Group’s voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of other shareholders give the Group the power to govern the financial and operating policies, etc. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Inter–company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Profits and losses resulting from inter–company transactions that are recognized in assets are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost is adjusted to reflect changes in consideration arising from contingent consideration amendments. Cost also includes direct attributable costs of investment. Transactions with non–controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non–controlling interests are also recorded in equity. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.
Page 14 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (Continued) (b) Consolidation (continued) (i) Subsidiaries (continued) When the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is re–measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries as follows: Principal Activities % Ownership by Group at 31 December 2025 % Ownership by Company at 31 December 2025 % Ownership by Group at 31 December 2024 % Ownership by Company at 31 December 2024 Resident in Jamaica: Subsidiary Paynter (Jamaica) Limited Investing in credit products including insurance premium, loan and lease financing and asset management 100 100 100 100 Eppley Consumer Finance Limited Provision of microcredit services 100 100 100 100 Resident outside of Jamaica: Subsidiary Eppley Fund Managers Limited Asset and investment management 100 100 100 100 Eppley Caribbean Property Fund Limited SCC- Development Fund Development of properties 47 - 47 - Eppley Caribbean Property Fund Limited SCC- Value Fund Property rental 20 - 20 - Fleet Limited Investing in credit products 100 100 100 100 (ii) Associates Associated undertakings and joint ventures are entities in which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding or interest of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Group’s share of post–acquisition profit or loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, and its share of post–acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equal or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Page 15 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (Continued) (b) Consolidation (continued) (ii) Associates (continued) The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount adjacent to ‘share of profit/(loss) of associates’ in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The Group’s associate holdings are set out below: Group Group Company Company 2025 2024 2025 2024 Contonou Shores Ltd. 35% 35% - - Canouan CS&F Investments Limited 35% 35% - - (iii) Joint arrangements Under IFRS 11 investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and has determined to have both joint ventures and a joint operation. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method after initially being recognised at cost in the statement of financial position. Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the post–acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee. Dividends received or receivable from joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an equity–accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long–term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint venture entities are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint ventures (which includes any long–term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the joint ventures), the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Joint operations arise where the investors have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of an arrangement. The Group accounts for its share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the joint operation.
Page 16 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (Continued) (b) Consolidation (continued) (iii) Joint arrangements (continued) The Group’s joint arrangement holdings are set out as below: Group Group Company Company 2025 2024 2025 2024 Joint ventures Caribbean Mezzanine Fund I Limited 50% 50% 50% 50% Caribbean Mezzanine Fund II Limited 50% 50% - - Retirement Road Holdings II Limited 50% 50% - - The CS&C Joint Venture – Account 1 36% 36% - - The CS&C Joint Venture – Account 2 36% 36% - - The Sunset Joint Venture 24% 24% - - Emerald City Trust 30% 30% - - Mall Plaza 40% 40% - - ECPF Molynes Property Holdings Limited 50% 50% - - ECPF Property Holdings (Jamaica) Limited 50% 50% - - Caparo Industrial Properties Limited 50% 50% - - Joint operations Rockley Joint Venture 50% 50% - - (iv) Business combinations The Group has applied IFRS 3 to all business combinations. Acquisitions are accounted for using the ‘purchase method’ of accounting. The cost of an acquisition is representative of the cash paid along with the fair value of other assets given, equity instruments issued, and liabilities incurred or assumed. Any deferred contingent consideration is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. In applying the acquisition method, the Group identifies the acquirer, determines the acquisition date, recognises and measures the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non–controlling interest in the acquiree and recognises and measures goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. (c) Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision–maker. The chief operating decision–maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.
Page 17 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (Continued) (d) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognizes revenue when it transfers control over a product or service, being when the goods or service are delivered to a customer. Delivery occurs when the products or service have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products or service in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or service to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money. Dividend income from financial assets is included in other operating income and is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial assets that subsequently become credit–impaired. For credit–impaired financial assets the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of the loss allowance). Interest income is presented as finance income where it is earned from financial assets that are held for cash management purposes. The Group recognises rental income when it transfers control over the rental space, being when the tenant takes up occupancy. This represents the time when delivery is deemed to have taken place as the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied, upon the signing of the contract by the tenant. The signing of the contract by all concerned parties as well as making rental space available for the tenant represents the fulfilment of the performance obligation. Contracts usually specify that the due dates of rental payments are on a monthly basis. Revenue from rental income is henceforth recognised accordingly, on an accrual basis. Other income is recognised on an accrual basis . (e) Foreign currency translation (i) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are presented in Jamaican dollars which is also the Group’s functional currency. (ii) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year–end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Page 18 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (Continued) (f) Financial instruments Financial instruments carried on the statement of financial position include insurance premium financing receivables, loans receivable, investment securities, other receivables, due from related parties, cash and deposits, borrowings, due to related parties and other liabilities. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item. The fair value of the Group’s financial instruments is discussed in Note 6. (g) Insurance premium financing receivables Insurance premium financing (IPF) receivables are non–derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments. They are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The Group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all insurance premium financing receivables. (h) Loans and leases receivable Loans are recognised when the cash is advanced to borrowers. They are initially recorded at fair value, which is the cash given to originate the loan including any transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all loans and lease receivables, except for secured loans. The simplified approach requires that the impairment provision is measured at initial recognition and throughout the life of the receivables using a lifetime ECL. As a practical expedient, a provision matrix is utilised in determining the lifetime ECLs. The lifetime ECLs are determined by taking into consideration historical rates of default for each segment of aged receivables as well as the estimated impact of forward– looking information. Secured loans are held for the collection of the contractual cash flows and when those cash flows represent solely payment of principal and interest, they are measured at amortised cost. The general model applies to these loans. See Note 2(j)(iv) for accounting policy on impairment of these loans. (i) Cash and deposits Cash and deposits are stated at cost. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and deposits comprise balances with maturity dates of less than 90 days from the dates of acquisition including cash and bank balances and deposits held on call with banks. (j) Investment securities (i) Classification The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss, and those to be measured at amortised cost. those measured at fair value through other comprehensive income The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
Page 19 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (Continued) (j) Investment securities (continued) (i) Classification (continued) For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, an evaluation was carried out to define the Group’s business model and concluded these instruments will be classified as amortised cost or fair value through profit or loss. The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. (ii) Recognition and derecognition Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade–date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. (iii) Measurement At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in the statement of comprehensive income. Debt instruments Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are two measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments: Debt instruments at amortised cost – Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in interest income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised directly in the statement of comprehensive income and presented in other operating income together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of comprehensive income. Debt instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) – Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income and presented net in the statement of comprehensive income within other operating income in the period in which it arises. The Group does not hold any debt investments at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Page 20 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (Continued) (j) Investment securities (continued) (iii) Measurement (continued) Equity instruments The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value gains or losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to the profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as other operating income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other operating income in the statement of comprehensive income as applicable. (iv) Impairment The Group assesses on a forward–looking basis the expected credit losses (ECL) associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Application of the General Model The Group has applied the ‘general model’ as required under IFRS 9 for debt instruments other than trade receivables. Under this model, the Group is required to assess on a forward–looking basis the ECL associated with its debt instrument assets carried at amortised cost. The ECL will be recognised in the statement of comprehensive income before a loss event has occurred. The measurement of ECL reflects an unbiased and probability–weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes. The probability–weighted outcome considers multiple scenarios based on reasonable and supportable forecasts. Under current guidance, impairment amount represents the single best outcome; the time value of money; and reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. ECL is calculated by multiplying the Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD) and Exposure at Default (EAD). The impairment model uses a three–stage approach based on the extent of credit deterioration since origination: Stage 1 12–month ECL applies to all financial assets that have not experienced a significant increase in credit risk since origination and are not credit–impaired. The ECL will be computed using a 12–month PD that represents the probability of default occurring over the next 12 months.
Page 21 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (Continued) (j) Investment securities (continued) (iv) Impairment (continued) Stage 2 When a financial asset experiences a significant increase in credit risk subsequent to origination but is not credit–impaired, it is considered to be in Stage 2. This requires the computation of ECL based on lifetime PD that represents the probability of default occurring over the remaining estimated life of the financial asset. Provisions are higher in this stage because of an increase in risk and the impact of a longer time horizon being considered compared to 12 months in Stage 1. Stage 3 Financial assets that have an objective evidence of impairment will be included in this stage. Similar to Stage 2, the allowance for credit losses will continue to capture the lifetime ECL. The Group uses judgement when considering the following factors that affect the determination of impairment: Assessment of significant increase in credit risk The assessment of a significant increase in credit risk is done on a relative basis. To assess whether the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since origination, the Group compares the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial asset at the reporting date to the corresponding risk of default at origination, using key risk indicators that are used in the Group’s existing risk management processes such as the number of days past due. At each reporting date, the assessment of a change in credit risk will be individually assessed for those considered individually significant and at the segment level for retail exposures. This assessment is symmetrical in nature, allowing credit risk of financial assets to move back to Stage 1 if the increase in credit risk since origination has reduced and is no longer deemed to be significant. Macroeconomic factors, forward–looking information and multiple scenarios The Group applies an unbiased and probability weighted estimate of credit losses by evaluating a range of possible outcomes that incorporates forecasts of future economic conditions. Macroeconomic factors and forward–looking information are incorporated into the measurement of ECL as well as the determination of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination. Measurement of ECLs at each reporting period reflect reasonable and supportable information at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. The Group uses three scenarios that are probability weighted to determine ECL. Expected Life When measuring ECL, the Group considers the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk. All contractual terms are considered when determining the expected life, including prepayment options and extension and rollover options.
Page 22 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (Continued) (j) Investment securities (continued) (v) Financial liabilities The Group’s financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. At the statement of financial position date, the following items were classified as financial liabilities: payables, due to related parties, lease liability and borrowings. (k) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is computed on the straight–line method at rates estimated to write off the assets over their expected useful lives as follows: Furniture, fixtures and equipment 10% – 25% Motor vehicles 25% Software 25% Leasehold improvement 33 1/3% Closed User Group (CUGs) 50% Property, plant and equipment are reviewed periodically for impairment. Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amount and are taken into account in determining profit before taxation. Repairs and renewals are charged to the statement of comprehensive income when the expenditure is incurred. (l) Impairment of long–lived assets Long–lived assets are reviewed for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. (m) Other receivables Other receivables are carried at original invoice amount less provision made for impairment of these receivables. A provision for impairment of receivables is established by assessing on a forward–looking basis, the expected amount that the Group will not be able to collect according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, being the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest. (n) Borrowings Borrowings are recognised initially at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost and any difference between net proceeds and the redemption value is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective yield method. (o) Other liabilities Other liabilities are recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Page 23 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (Continued) (p) Taxation Taxation on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred taxes are recognised as income tax expense or benefit in the statement of comprehensive income, except where they relate to items recorded in shareholders’ equity, in which case they are charged or credited to equity. (i) Current taxation Current tax is the expected taxation payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted at year end, and any adjustment to tax payable and tax losses in respect of the previous years. (ii) Deferred income taxes Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their amounts as measured for tax purposes, which will result in taxable amounts in future periods. Deferred tax assets are recognised for temporary differences which will result in deductible amounts in future periods, but only to the extent it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which these differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the asset will be realised or the liability will be settled based on enacted rates. (q) Employee benefits (i) Pension obligations The Group participates in the defined contribution pension plan of a related company, T. Geddes Grant (Distributors) Limited. A defined contribution pension plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The contributions paid by the company are recorded as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income. (ii) Accrued vacation Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the year end. (iii) Termination benefits Termination benefits are payable whenever an employee’s employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The company recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. (iv) Profit–sharing and bonus plan The company recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit–sharing, based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The company recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. (r) Interest in subsidiaries Interests in subsidiaries are stated at cost.
Page 24 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (Continued) (s) Leases As lessee The Group has a lease contract for a period of three years relating to the rental of office space. Leases are recognised as a right–of–use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the fixed payments (including in–substance fixed payments). The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group uses recent third–party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point. The lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Right–of–use asset is measured at cost comprising the following: The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received Any initial direct costs, and Restoration costs. Right–of–use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight–line basis. As lessor When assets are sold under a finance lease, the present value of the lease payments is recognised as a receivable. The difference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is recognised as unearned income. Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return. (t) Dividends paid Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in stockholders’ equity in the period in which they are approved by the company’s stockholders. The dividends on preference shares are recognised in statement of comprehensive income as interest expense. Dividends for the year that are declared after the balance sheet date are dealt with in the subsequent events note 37.
Page 25 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 2. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (Continued) (u) Real estate available for re–sale Properties that are being held for future sale or in the process of construction or development for such sale are classified as real estate available for re–sale and are carried at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Subsequent costs are included in the properties’ carrying value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less costs to complete redevelopment and selling expenses. The carrying value is immediately written down to its recoverable amount if its carrying value is assessed to be greater than the estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses realised on the sale of real estate are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income at the time of sale. (v) Investment properties Property that is held for long–term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the companies in the Group, is classified as investment property. Investment property also includes property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property. Investment properties are treated as long–term investments. Investment property is initially measured at its cost including related transaction costs. After initial recognition investment property is carried at fair value. Fair value is determined annually by professional independent valuers. The professional valuers hold recognised and relevant professional qualifications and have recent experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued. The valuations form the basis for the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Investment properties are not subject to depreciation. Changes in the fair value of investment property are recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of investment property related to foreign currency translation are also recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. On disposal of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged or credited to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. If investment property is reclassified as real estate available for re–sale, its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for accounting purposes. If real estate available for re–sale is transferred to investment property, any difference resulting between the carrying value and the fair value of this item at the date of transfer is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. 3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. (a) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made no significant judgements on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Page 26 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies (Continued) (b) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that will have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows: (i) Measurement of the expected credit loss allowance on insurance premium financing, loans and leases The measurement of the expected credit loss allowance for financial assets measured at amortised cost requires the use of complex models and significant assumptions about future economic conditions and credit behaviour such as the likelihood of customers defaulting and the resulting losses. A number of significant judgements are also required in applying the accounting requirements for measuring ECL, such as: Determining criteria for significant increase in credit risk; Choosing appropriate models and assumptions for the measurement of ECL; Establishing the number and relative weightings of forward–looking scenarios; and Establishing groups of similar financial assets for the purpose of measuring ECL Further details about judgements and estimates made by the Group in the above areas are set out in Note 4 (a). (ii) Fair value of financial instruments The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses its judgement to select the appropriate method. Details of investment securities valued using other than quoted prices in an active market are provided in Note 6. (iii) Income taxes There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. (iv) Classification of joint ventures The joint venture agreements in relation to Retirement Road Holdings II Limited (RRH II) and the Caribbean Mezzanine Fund I Limited (Mezzanine Fund) require unanimous consent from all parties for all relevant activities. With respect to RRH II, the partners have rights to the net assets of the company while for the Mezzanine Fund, the partners have rights to the net assets of the company for all relevant activities in accordance with shareholder agreements. These entities are therefore classified as joint ventures. The Group recognises its share of the results for the year for RRH II. (v) Investment properties The Group uses property experts to value its investment properties annually using the income approach (direct capitalisation approach and discounted cash flow approach). Income approach takes into consideration factors such as rental rates, maintenance costs, vacancy rates, terminal value, capitalisation rate and a discount rate. A change in any of these factors could have a significant impact on the value of investment properties.
Page 27 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 4. Financial Risk Management The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The Group’s risk management policies are designed to identify and analyse these risks, to set appropriate limits and controls, and to monitor adherence by means of reliable and up–to–date information systems. The Group regularly reviews its risk management policies and systems to reflect changes in markets, products and emerging best practice. The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. The Board of Directors has established committees and departments for managing and monitoring risks, as follows: (i) Investment Committee The Investment Committee is responsible for recommending investment strategies and credit policies to the Board of Directors. It is also responsible for approving certain individual loans, leases and other credit investments in compliance with the Group’s policies. (ii) Finance Department The Finance Department is responsible for managing the Group’s accounting, financial reporting and compliance functions, including the management of the Group’s accounting and investment management information systems. It is also primarily responsible for managing the funding and liquidity risks of the Group. (iii) Audit Committee The Audit Committee develops and recommends accounting and risk management policies to the Board of Directors. It also oversees management’s compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures. In addition, the Audit Committee regularly reviews the Group’s financial reporting and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors. (a) Credit risk The Group takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that its customers, clients or counterparties will cause a financial loss for the Group by failing to discharge their contractual obligations. Credit risk is the most important risk for the Group’s business; management, therefore, carefully manages its exposure to credit risk. Credit exposures arise principally from the insurance premium financing receivables, lease receivable, loans receivable, other receivables, due from related parties, investment securities and cash and deposits. The Group structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in relation to a single counterparty or groups of related counterparties.

Financial Risk Management (Continued) (a) Credit risk (continued) Receivables are shown net of allowances for impairment, which reflects the Group’s estimate of expected losses on collection of receivables. Credit ratings are not publicly available for any assets with credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents are held with reputable and regulated financial institutions, which present minimal risk of default. The Group also maintains credit facilities with its bankers (See Note 13). The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. Maximum exposure to credit risk before collateral held or other credit enhancements. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at year end was as follows: The Group The Company 2025 $’000 2024 $’000 2025 $’000 2024 $’000 Cash and deposits 1,036,294 1,841,393 234,587 344,754 Other receivables 569,818 260,023 204,636 98,468 Investment securities 2,372,491 1,611,802 4,173 24,803 Due from related parties - - 2,199,989 2,176,047 Insurance premium financing receivables 18,840 19,602 3,905 3,905 Loans receivable 1,372,225 921,461 1,050,135 520,289 Lease receivables 850,056 1,278,632 503,734 738,210 6,219,724 5,932,913 4,201,159 3,906,476 The above table represents a worst-case scenario of credit risk exposure to the Group at 31 December 2025 and 2024. Impairment of financial assets The Group has insurance premium financing, loan and lease receivable financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model. The Group applied the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all receivables from customers except for secured loans which uses the general model. To measure the expected credit losses, receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The company has therefore concluded that the expected loss rates for receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the contract assets.

Management assesses each counterparty’s credit quality and levels of liquidity. Accordingly, management seeks to mitigate the risk that any single counterparty will fail to meet its obligations. Furthermore, management takes steps to diversify its cash and deposits among a group of counterparties in order to further mitigate the risk of loss. At the reporting date, cash and deposits with counterparties are considered stage 1. (ii) Insurance premium financing The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by its ability to receive adequate unearned premium refunds from its general insurance counterparties in the event of a default. Management assesses and monitors the credit worthiness of each counterparty. In most instances, the ultimate counterparties are general insurance companies regulated by the Financial Services Commission. The Group, through its information systems and financial reporting, also closely monitors the size of the unearned premium under each underlying insurance policy to ensure that it exceeds its insurance premium finance receivable.

Financial Risk Management (Continued) (a) Credit risk (continued) Impairment of financial assets (continued) Credit review process (continued) (iii) Due from related parties, leases and loans receivable The Group’s exposure to credit risk is driven by the ability of the borrower or lessee to repay its obligations when due. In the case of loans, the Group’s credit risk can be mitigated by the assignment of salary and other cash flows, and security interest in various forms of collateral or guarantees. In the case of leases, the Group owns the lease equipment and can monetize it in the event of a default. The Investment Committee is responsible for approving and monitoring individual loans, leases and other credit investments in compliance with investment strategies and credit policies approved by the Board of Directors. Senior management personnel meet on a weekly basis to discuss and analyse the ability of counterparties to meet repayment obligations. At the reporting date, secured loans are considered stage 1. (iv) Investment securities The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by investing mainly in liquid securities, with counterparties that have high credit quality. Accordingly, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. At the reporting date, debt securities are considered stage 1. Individually assessed allowances are provided for financial assets by reviewing all the identified loans and leases, and determining whether amounts should be written off or that lifetime expected credit losses be recognized based on a review conducted at least annually or more regularly when individual circumstances require same. Impairment allowances on individually assessed accounts are determined by an evaluation if a significant increase in credit risk has occurred. The assessment then encompasses collateral held and the anticipated receipts for that individual account. Collectively assessed allowances are provided for portfolios of homogenous assets and include loss allowances determined on an individually assessed basis, adjusted for forward looking information. Such information includes macroeconomic factors which management determines could influence Group operations.

The consequence may be the failure to meet obligations to fulfil loan payments and other liabilities incurred.
Page 34 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 4. Financial Risk Management (Continued) (b) Liquidity risk (continued) Liquidity risk management process The Group’s liquidity management process, as carried out within the Group and monitored by the Board of Directors, includes: (i) Monitoring future cash flows and liquidity on a regular basis. This incorporates an assessment of expected cash flows and accessing credit from related parties or financial institutions if required; (ii) Optimising cash returns on short term investments; and (iii) Monitoring financial position liquidity ratios against internal requirements. Monitoring and reporting take the form of cash flow measurement and projections for the next day, week and month, as these are key periods for liquidity management. The starting point for those projections is an analysis of the contractual maturity of the financial liabilities and the expected collection date of the financial assets. The matching and controlled mismatching of the maturities and interest rates of assets and liabilities is fundamental to the management of the Group. It is unusual for companies ever to be completely matched since business transacted is often of uncertain term and of different types. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability but can also increase the risk of loss. The maturities of assets and liabilities and the ability to replace, at an acceptable cost, interest–bearing liabilities as they mature, are important factors in assessing the liquidity of the Group.

Financial Risk Management (Continued) (c) Market risk The Group takes on exposure to market risks, which is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risks mainly arise from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Market risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis. There has been no change to the manner in which the Group manages and measures this risk. (i) Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the United States dollar. Foreign currency risk arises primarily from transactions in due from related parties, insurance premium, loan and lease financing, net of borrowings. At 31 December 2025, the Group’s statement of financial position includes aggregate net foreign assets of US$15,769,000 (2024 – US$3,291,000). At 31 December 2025, the Company’s statement of financial position includes aggregate net foreign assets of US$2,279,000 (2024 – US$2,384,000). The Group manages the foreign exchange risk by ensuring that the net exposure in foreign assets and liabilities is kept to an acceptable level by monitoring currency positions. Foreign currency sensitivity The following tables indicate the currencies to which the Group had significant exposure on its monetary assets and liabilities and its forecast cash flows. The change in currency rate below represents management’s assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The sensitivity analysis on pre–tax profit is based on foreign currency denominated monetary items at the year end. The Group % Change in Currency Rate Effect on Profit before Taxation % Change in Currency Rate Effect on Profit before Taxation 2025 2025 2024 2024 USD - Revaluation 1% (30,641) 1% (24,409) USD - Devaluation 1.5% 45,961 4% (97,635) The Company % Change in Currency Rate Effect on Profit before Taxation % Change in Currency Rate Effect on Profit before Taxation 2025 2025 2024 2024 USD - Revaluation 1% (5,844) 1% (3,527) USD - Devaluation 1.5% 8,766 4% 14,108
Page 40 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 4. Financial Risk Management (Continued) (c) Market risk (continued) (ii) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Floating rate instruments expose the Group to cash flow interest risk, whereas fixed interest rate instruments expose the Group to fair value interest risk.

Page 44 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 4. Financial Risk Management (Continued) (c) Market risk (continued) (ii) Interest rate risk (continued) Interest rate sensitivity The Group does not have any sensitivity to interest rate risk as all financial assets and liabilities are at fixed rates, except for lease receivables for which the Group has the option to re–price in specific circumstances including, increases in the interest rates of benchmark Government of Jamaica securities and changes to the creditworthiness of the lessees. (iii) Equity price risk At December 31, 2025, the Group and company held quoted equities of $11,498,000 (2024: $106,536,000) and $11,498,000 (2024 – $14,070,000), respectively. Sensitivity analysis All the Group and company’s quoted investments are listed on the Jamaica Stock Exchange. A 1.5% (2024: 6%) increase in the unit prices of the equity holding would have increased equity (before considering the effect of taxation) by $172,000 (2024 – $6,392,000) and $172,000 (2024 – $844,000) for the Group and Company respectively. A 1% (2024: 2%) decline would have decreased comprehensive income by $115,000 (2024: $2,130,000) and $115,000 (2024: $281,000) for the Group and company respectively. 5. Capital Management Capital management is assessed by the senior management of the Group. The objectives when managing capital, which is a broader concept than the ‘equity’ on the face of the statement of financial position, are: (i) To safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns for stockholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and (ii) To maintain a strong capital base to support the development of its business. There was no change to the Group’s approach to capital management during the year. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. 6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Market price is used to determine fair value where an active market exists as it is the best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. Where no market price is available, the fair values presented have been estimated using present values or other estimation and valuation techniques based on market conditions existing at the statement of financial position dates. The values derived from applying these techniques are significantly affected by the underlying assumptions used concerning both the amounts and timing of future cash flows, revenue growth rate and the discount rates. The following methods and assumptions have been used:
Page 45 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued) (i) Investment securities classified as financial assets at FVPL and FVOCI are measured at fair value by reference to quoted market prices when available. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated on the basis of pricing models, discounted cash flows or other recognized valuation techniques. Where discounted cash flows are used, the key inputs include the use of historical information, projecting the cash flows and applying a discount rate; (ii) The fair value of liquid assets and other assets maturing within a year (e.g. Cash and deposits, reverse repurchase agreements) is assumed to approximate their carrying amount. This assumption is applied to liquid assets and the short–term elements of all other financial assets and financial liabilities; and (iii) The fair value of variable rate financial instruments is assumed to approximate their carrying amounts. IFRS 7 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy. Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These mainly comprise of equity shares traded on the Jamaica Stock Exchange and are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value for these instruments is determined by using valuation techniques and maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. Level 3 – Inputs for asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The fair value of these instruments were determined by the net assets of the underlying investments and discounted cashflow approach. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The Group considers relevant and observable market prices in its valuations where possible.

Sensitivity analysis A 1.5% (2024: 6%) increase in the unit prices of the level 3 investments would have increased equity before considering the effect of tax of $6,105,000 (2024 – $35,066,000) for the Group and $6,105,000 (2024: $20,680,952) for the company. A 1% (2024: 2%) decline would have decreased equity by $4,070,000 (2024: $11,689,000) for the Group and $4,070,000 (2024: $6,894,000) for the company, before considering the effect of tax. A discount rate was included as one of the inputs used to determine the fair value of unquoted equity investments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income. A 1% increase or decrease in the discount rate would have decreased/increased the fair value of the instrument by $3,694,000 and $3,850,000, respectively.

These financial assets and liabilities include cash, short–term deposits, insurance premium financing receivables, loans receivables and loans from related parties. (iii) The carrying value of long–term loans payable to external lenders approximate their fair values, as most of these loans are listed on an exchange and as at year end, the closing bid price represents their carrying values, being the amortised cost.

During the year impairment tests were performed on the carrying value of the real estate available for re–sale. Based on these tests, the real estate available for re–sale were subsequently adjusted to their net realisable values resulting in a net fair value gain of $16,845,000 (2024 – 17,925,000) being recognised. Valuations performed by professional valuers are utilised in the process of determining the net realisable value of the real estate available for re–sale. Due to the nature of the valuation process, valuations may differ between professional valuers. The effect on net income of an across the board 10% depreciation in the net realisable value of the Group’s real estate available for re–sale would amount to $57,412,000 (2024 – 54,575,000).

Valuation techniques used to derive Level 3 fair values Level 3 fair values of land and buildings have been derived using the income approach. The income approach encompasses consideration of the direct capitalisation and the discount cash flow valuation methods. The income approach utilises the current actual and potential rents for the net rentable space in the buildings and calculates the value of the property based on a return on investment that an investor would anticipate. The inputs utilised in this method are as follows: • Future rental cash inflows based on the actual location, type and quality of the properties and supported by the terms of any existing lease, other contracts or external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties; • Discount rates reflecting current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of cash flows; • Estimated vacancy rates based on current and expected future market conditions after expiry of any current lease; • Maintenance costs including necessary investments to maintain functionality of the property for its expected useful life; • Capitalisation rates based on actual location, size and quality of the properties and taking into account market data at the valuation date; • Terminal value taking into account assumptions regarding maintenance costs, vacancy rates and market rents.

Page 74 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 23. Leases (Continued) (c) The Group’s leasing activities and how these are recorded The Group leases its offices. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods, on average 3 years but may have extension options. Contracts may contain both lease and non–lease components. Where these exist, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to the lease and non–lease components based on their relative stand–alone prices. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessor. Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes. Leases are recognised as a right–of–use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments: fixed payments (including in–substance fixed payments) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that option. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right–of–use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group: i. where possible, uses recent third–party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was received; and ii. makes adjustments specific to the lease, e.g. term, country, currency and security. Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Right–of–use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: i. the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; ii. any lease payments made at or before the commencement date iii. any initial direct costs; and iv. restoration costs. Right–of–use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight–line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right–of–use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.

Page 78 Eppley Limited Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2025 (expressed in Jamaican dollars unless otherwise indicated) 26. Business Combinations (Continued) The business contributed revenue of $885,052,000 and net profit of $715,769,000 to the consolidated results for the period ended 31 December 2024. Had the business been consolidated from 1 January 2024, the consolidated income statement would show pro–forma revenue of $1,520,576,000 and profit after tax of $1,077,867,000. The amounts have been calculated by adjusting the results of the subsidiary to reflect the additional operating income that would have been recognised and operating expenses that would have been charged over from January to December 2024. The acquisition resulted in a gain bargain purchase due to the cash consideration paid being less than the fair value of the net assets acquired. 27. Deferred Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are calculated on temporary differences under the liability methods using an effective tax rate of 25% (2024 – 25%) for the Group and nil for the Company for both 2025 and 2024.
