16. An overview of the activity carried out by any companies and other entities that are considered to be associated with the group with an explanation of the type of engagement, whether a joint ownerships, joint management or overlapping after demerger:
The Company focuses on two main sectors, which are:
1- Urban and Cultural Development Sector: It's the first unique investment opportunity to be undertaken by the Company, within the urban development area, in Egypt and other African countries.
The Company will continue to create world-class entertainment destinations that integrate a whole range of entertainment activities, retail outlets, and first-class hospitality outlets offering compelling experiences, quality infrastructure, and outstanding services. These attractive destinations evolve as catalysts for further development in their regions and serve as a developmental means for revitalizing the urban landscape.
Leveraging on Egypt's wealth of historical and archaeological sites, the Company has an ambitious plan to lead this field by transforming visitors' experiences at historical sites and cultural venues in Egypt through introducing first-class hospitality and visitor services, cutting-edge technologies, and state-of-the-art management and operational models. Hence, creating a unique experience for travelers that will highlight the important monuments and the great civilization enjoyed by Egypt, so that Egypt occupies the place it deserves on the global tourism map.
The Company started its engagement in this sector by focusing on the Giza Pyramids. Orascom Investment Holding intends to create a global, innovative, and integrated destination that will encapsulate the entire Giza Plateau with high-end amenities and experiences that will truly fit the magnitude and legacy of the Pyramids. From the moment visitors set foot into the Plateau site of the Pyramids of Giza, the purpose is to fascinate them with a unique experience.
2- Telecommunications Sector: The Company is continuously seeking to detect market gaps that can be exploited to penetrate underserved or inadequately served telecom market. Through its long and extensive expertise in the telecom sector, it seeks to transform these opportunities into market-leading investments whether investments are related to voice calls for underserved markets or high bandwidth data solutions for those with demand.
The Company had a track record in North Korea as it provided the Country's first mobile communication solution, established its first customer service center and was the first Company to announce the launch of its services to major media outlets across the country, including the first billboard in the capital, Pyongyang.

Auditor's Report
To M/S Shareholders of Orascom Investment Holding S.A.E.
An Egyptian Joint Stock Company
Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Orascom Investment S.A.E Holding (the Company), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Egyptian Accounting Standards and applicable Egyptian laws, management responsibility includes, designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, management responsibility also includes selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies, and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Egyptian Standards on Auditing and applicable Egyptian laws. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedure selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair representation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of these consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Orascom Investments S.A.E Holding as at December 31, 2019 and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Egyptian Accounting Standards and the Egyptian laws and regulations relating to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Emphasis of matter
Without modifying our opinion:
1. As mentioned in details in note (35) from the accompanying notes of the consolidated financial statements, during the first quarter of 2020, most countries of the world, including Egypt, were exposed to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, causing disruptions in most commercial and economic activities in general. Therefore, this is likely to have significant impact on the assets, liabilities and financial performance of the company's consolidated financial statements during the following periods, in addition to the potential impact on pre-determined operational plans and future cash flows associated with them, the Company's management is currently implementing several measures to address this risk and reduce its impact on its consolidated financial position, but in light of the instability and uncertainty of the outcome of the current events, the magnitude of the impact of that event depends mainly on the estimate of the duration of these impacts. The implications and the Company's ability to achieve its plans to address this threat, which is difficult to determine in the present time.
2. In reference to what was mentioned in note (14-1) from the accompanying notes of the consolidated financial statements, that the Company has a significant influence in its investee "Koryolink" in North Korea, the investment amounts to EGP 613.6 million as of December 31, 2019, which the Company classified as investments in associate subsidiary. Considering that Koryolink is operating under an international ban, operational and financial restrictions imposed by the international community, which lead to difficulties in transferring profits abroad and repatriate the funds to their home country.

The figures referred to in 2018/2019 were extracted from the pro forma financial statements of the Demerged Company and approved by the auditor of the Demerging Company.
1. Price-To-Book value was calculated based on the market value of the share divided by the book value of that share, and has been calculated as follows:
2018 Market value of a share is 0.58 multiplied by the Demerged Company's percentage of total equity after the demerger, which is 74%, as follows (0.58 * 74%) = 0.428
Book value per share is 0.51
Therefore, Price-To-Book Value = 0.428 divided by 0.51 = 0.84
2019 Market value of a share is 0.55 multiplied by the Demerged Company's percentage of total equity after the demerger, which is 74%, as follows (0.55 * 74%) = 0.406
Book value per share is 0.46
Therefore, Price-To-Book Value = 0.406 divided by 0.46 = 0.89
2. Net distributable profit is the total retained earnings including profits or losses of the period.
3. Net distributable profit per share is the net distributable profits divided by the total number of shares.
4. Price-To-Earnings Ratio is the market share price divided by earnings per share.
As the Company has not yet been listed on the EGX hence there is no market price meaning the calculations were based on its book value.
Nominal value is 0.31.
The earnings per share is the share of the stock in the year's net profits multiplied by the Demerged Company's percentage of the total equity after demerger, which is 74%.
2018 earnings per share are as follows: 0.01 and (0.05) in 2018 and 2019, respectively, before the demerger between the Demerging Company and the Demerged Company.
Therefore, Price-To-Earnings Ratio of the year 2018 is as follows: (0.31 / (74% * 0.01) = 42
2019 None, as the earnings per share is a loss of 0.05 per share.

This is in light of the following:
- The report issued by the Economic Performance Department of GAFI on 09/09/2020 concluded that the value of investment in the shares of Beltone Financial Holding as of 31/12/2019 is 678,573,068 Egyptian pounds after excluding the impairment losses of 182,599,049 Egyptian pounds. Additionally, the value of investment in the shares of Sarwa Capital Holding for Financial Investments is 1,199,864,200 Egyptian pounds, after excluding impairment losses of 390,698,065 Egyptian pounds.
- During the period following the date on which the demerger was performed as of 31 December 2019, and throughout 2020, a number of 17,788,873 shares of Beltone Financial Holding were purchased, as well as 4,306,589 shares of the shares of Sarwa Capital Holding for Financial Investments were purchased.
- The impairment losses of investment in shares of Beltone Financial Holding were reversed at an amount of 182,599,049 Egyptian pounds and in shares of Sarwa Capital Holding for Financial Investments at an amount of 390,698,065 Egyptian pounds, which had been excluded based on the report of the Economic Performance Department issued by GAFI on 02/09/2020, for the following justifications:
A. Each share of Beltone Financial Holding is an active share in the Egyptian Exchange, as it's classified in List (A) of the securities trading lists, given that such share meets the quantitative and qualitative standards issued by the EGX in such regard. Based on the foregoing, the share price traded on the EGX has been relied upon as a basis to find the fair value of such share for the calculations of the impairment of the fiscal year ending 31/12/2019, as the average share price for September, October, November and December of 2020 were EGP 2.93, EGP 2.8, 2.58 and EGP 2.59 per share, respectively. As a result, the impairment of the investment value that had been formed on 31 December 2019 was refunded up to EGP 182,599,049 during the last quarter of the fiscal year as at 31 December 2020. On the contrary, the share of Sarwa Capital Holding for Financial Investments is considered as a mid-active share on the Egyptian Exchange, as such shares are classified in list (B) of the securities trading lists, given that they meet quantitative and qualitative standards issued by the EGX for that regards. Based on the above, the share price traded on the EGX has not been relied upon as a basis to find the fair value of such investment when the impairment is calculated. However, the redemption value of shares has been relied upon and compared to the book value as of 31 December 2019, applying requirements of Egyptian Accounting Standard No. 31 "Impairment of Assets", where the said redemption value is calculated and represents the higher amount of the fair value of investment and the use value of such investment. Accordingly, the value of Sarwa Capital Holding for Financial Investments, as prepared on the 3rd of September 2018, has been applied thereto by an independent financial advisor (BDO), concluding that the fair value per share is EGP 7.83, and approved, according to its valuation of the fair value per share at the foregoing value, that the Company may achieve an expected net profit for 2019 of 351 million Egyptian pounds (after minority rights), and when such figure is compared with the actual net profit figures for 2019, which is an amount of 389 million Egyptian pounds (after minority rights), it has appeared that the Company's actual activity position is higher than the expected one, and on which basis the share price was valued at 7.83. Consequently, no indicator was considered for the impairment of the Company's investments in Sarwa Capital Holding for Financial Investments, as the book value per share as at 31 December 2019 was EGP 4.6 per share.
Moreover, in 2020, subject to the same approach adopted by the report of the Economic Performance Department of GAFI as issued on 02/09/2020, based on the share price on EGX, and valued, as of 31 December 2019, at EGP 3.47 per share, and since the share price, on the EGX, is currently about EGP 4 per share, then there is a large part of the decrease that was calculated must be refunded at about 183 million Egyptian pounds.
