As a Group, we are proud to have been associated with stabilizing the financial sector in Uganda yet again. The quick resolution of Crane Bank’s position by Bank of Uganda has also restored market confidence and dfcu Bank is proud to have been part of the solution.

In that event, a portion of the bridge loan facility equivalent to Arise B.V.’s holding in the Company will be converted into equity.

7.1. Economic Overview Economic growth estimates for the first half of Financial Year 2016/17 indicate that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth was weaker than expected, largely reflecting temporary adverse weather related factors. Preliminary posting for the first quarter Financial Year 2016/17 indicate contraction of 0.2%. The Treasury has had to revise the GDP downwards to 3.9% from the projected 5% due to the significant drought that affected agricultural production, low commodity prices, weak global trade and diminishing capital flows besides under execution of planned government investment programs. Agriculture contributes 26% to Uganda’s GDP compared with the services sector, which contributes 49%.

Looking forward improved efficiency and effectiveness in implementation of public investments and a recovery in economic activity through a pickup in private sector investment should drive growth in the medium to long term. The declining interest rates should act as a boost to the pickup in private sector lending.

7.2. Inflation Rate Annual headline inflation increased to 7.2% in May 2017 from 6.8% recorded in April 2017.The uptick in headline inflation is due to temporary adverse weather conditions that have pushed up food prices as well as increasing liquid fuel prices. On the other hand, the declining core inflation rate was due to a declining demand for services such as transportation and food and beverage. This had spiked up during the festive season.

7.3. Interest Rates To date the Bank of Uganda has cut its benchmark rate by 50 bps from 11.50% to 11% in its bid to spur economic activity. With risks of inflation minimal in the short and long run, monetary policy should be able to support economic activity and growth. A recovery in economic activity within the private sector, improved efficiency and effectiveness of the implementation of public infrastructure investments should drive forecasted growth. Economic growth over the medium term is projected to return to potential growth (6-7%).

The prospects of rainfall across the country will improve inflation outlook going forward easing inflationary pressure from food crops. However risk of inflation from unwinding base effects and further food crop inflation remain. The monetary policy committee will next review the policy rate this month. The decline in reported headline inflation although above the BOU target of 5% should see the committee hold off on its policy stance. However, the Uganda shilling face pressure then the BOU will opt to reverse their policy stance.

Improving liquidity conditions and BOU adherence to fiscal budget (Auction amounts adhered to) have kept yields low over the quarter. However, inflationary risks arising from currency depreciation would quickly lead to an uptick in yields. The lower yields on Uganda government debt make the Uganda fixed income market unattractive to foreign investors and the ripple effect of the investors exiting our markets could affect yields. dfcu Limited 25 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

8.7.7. Capital Adequacy dfcu Group monitors its capital adequacy ratios(CAR) using the ratios established by the Bank for International Settlement (BIS) as approved by Bank of Uganda. These ratios measure capital adequacy by comparing the Group’s eligible capital with its statement of financial position assets, off-statement of financial position commitments and market and other risk positions at weighted amount to reflect their relative risk. As at 31 March 2017, the Group’s total capital base was 23.6% (FY2016: 26.9%) of the risk weighted assets, with core capital at 19.7% (FY2016: 20.14%). The capital adequacy remains above the stipulated regulatory minimums of 14.5% and 12.5% for total capital and core capital respectively.

The acquisition of assets and the assumption of liabilities of Crane Bank in January 2017 required the Bank to enhance its capital by approximately USD 50 million in order to continue to be compliant with the statutory capital adequacy ratios. The funds necessary to shore up this capital were obtained through a share issue to dfcu Limited. dfcu Limited in turn obtained the funds by securing a USD 50 million bridge loan facility from Arise B.V.

8.8. Acquisition of Assets and Liabilities Crane Bank Limited. On 20 October 2016, Bank of Uganda took over the management of Crane Bank Limited upon a determination by Bank of Uganda that Crane Bank Limited was a significantly under capitalised institution as defined by law and posed a systemic risk to the stability of the financial system and that the continuation of Crane Bank’s activities in its form at the time was detrimental to the interests of its depositors. Prior to the takeover Crane Bank was one of the four Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIB) in Uganda. Following the placement of Crane Bank under statutory management, Bank of Uganda appointed an independent external auditor to take an inventory of the assets and liabilities of Crane Bank. According to a Bank of Uganda notice published on 27 January 2017, that exercise had confirmed that Crane Bank’s liabilities, as at the takeover date, grossly exceeded its assets and that Crane Bank was insolvent. Bank of Uganda then invited local and international entities, including dfcu Bank, to bid for the assets and liabilities of Crane Bank and progressed Crane Bank from statutory management to receivership. On 25 January 2017, Bank of Uganda entered into an agreement with dfcu Bank, by which Bank of Uganda transferred certain liabilities (including depositors) of Crane Bank to dfcu Bank and in consideration for that transfer, conveyed to dfcu Bank certain Crane Bank’s assets. dfcu Limited 33 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

dfcu Bank formally took over the acquired assets and assumed liabilities on 27 January 2017. To date, Crane Bank Limited remains in receivership.

The acquired assets included physical cash and balances, loans and advances, computer software, listed stocks and bonds, shares in private companies, land and buildings, furniture and fittings and other movable assets. The main liabilities assumed were customer deposits and amounts owed to third party lenders. Claims against shareholders and related parties to Crane Bank as well as insider loans were not acquired by dfcu Bank. Similarly, employee related liabilities and tax liabilities of Crane Bank were not assumed.

Of the acquired assets, Crane Bank Rwanda has since been disposed of because it was not within dfcu Group’s strategy of growing its business in Uganda. The following table summarises the recognised amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value at the date of the Acquisition.

Assets and Liabilities Acquired UGX ‘millions Property, plant and equipment 89,164 Intangible assets* 34,982 Investment in subsidiaries 23,097 Cash and cash balances with BOU 56,355 Government securities 158,931 Deposits & bank balance due 11,960 Net advances to customers 771,230 Other assets 7,56 0 Investment in shares and corporate bonds 14,395 Customers deposits (674,958) Other liabilities (219,834) Restoration costs (2,126) Fair value of identifiable net assets** 270,756

* Intangible Assets include customer relationships and core deposits. **IFRS 3 regards a bargain purchase as being a business combination in which: • the net of the acquisition-date fair values (or other amounts recognised in accordance with the requirements of the standard) of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, exceeds the aggregate of: 1. the consideration transferred (generally measured at acquisition-date fair value); 2. the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; and 3. the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree [IFRS 3.34]. Refer to Note 22 (a) and (b) of the condensed interim financial statement for the 31 March 2017 34 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

The UGX 270.756 billion is the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as determined in accordance with IFRS. This fair value takes into account the potential benefits accruing from customer relationships, recovery of non-performing assets, the branch network and physical assets.

The Acquisition was in line with dfcu Bank’s aspirations of: • becoming a market leader in Uganda; • transforming from a niche player to a universal bank; • leveraging technology to deliver digital solutions; and • delivering superior financial performance to its shareholders.

The Acquisition has positioned dfcu Bank among the top three leading banks in this market in terms of customer numbers, branch network and balance sheet size.

Having successfully completed integration of systems, customers and employees into dfcu Bank, the Bank is now well positioned to optimize the benefits of the acquisition and deliver superior returns to shareholders.

It was the Directors’ recommendation that the payment of a final dividend of UGX 23.53 per share on the total shares with an additional bonus issue (2014–UGX 4.9 billion 10.0 per share) would be fair remuneration to its shareholders.

Risk 11 factors dfcu Limited 53 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

An investment in the Company comes with a certain level of risk based on the sector in which it and its subsidiary operates, the macro-economic environment, the capital markets and the nature of the business conducted by the Company and its subsidiary. Prospective investors should carefully consider, among other things, the risks set forth in this section and other information contained in this Information Memorandum prior to making investment decisions with respect to the offer. Prospective investors should note that the risks described in this section are not the only risks the Company faces but are the risks that the Company considers to be material. As such, prospective investors should exercise due care in evaluating all the risks involved in investing and decide for themselves whether, in light of those risks, their investment is appropriate. Although dfcu has in place systems, controls and procedures designed to mitigate the risks to which it is exposed, there can be no assurance that such risks will not occur.

11.1. Company Risks The risks facing the Company arise from the fact that over 90% of its earnings emanate from its banking subsidiary. Accordingly, the risks inherent in the subsidiary’s business affect the Company and its prospects significantly.

11.1.1. Strategic Risk Strategic risk relates to the future business plans and strategies, including the risks associated with the macro environment in which the company operates. The Company’s growth is subject to economic and political risks, local economic environments, including inflation, recession, currency volatility and actual or anticipated defaults. Political changes, some of which may be disruptive, can interfere with the Company supply chain or customers and all the activities in a particular location.

The success of the business depends on achieving the Company’s strategic objectives, including through acquisitions and restructurings. The recent acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Crane Bank, which resulted in dfcu Bank becoming one of the three top banks in Uganda, presents a heightened strategic risk in terms of dfcu Bank’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. dfcu Bank may not achieve the expected returns and other benefits as a result of various factors, including integration and collaboration challenges such as personnel and technology. dfcu Bank has completed the integration of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities into its business. The employees taken over from Crane Bank have also been integrated. The fact that the acquisition was in line with dfcu Bank’s strategy and the customer profile was similar should enable dfcu Bank to realize the benefits of the transaction. In addition, the management of dfcu Bank is of sufficient capacity to manage a bigger entity effectively.

11.1.2. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from the obligor’s failure to meet the terms of any contract with the Company or dfcu Bank or otherwise to perform as agreed or to meet a commitment as it falls due. The dfcu Group’s credit risk arises mainly from its lending activities to customers but also from interbank lending, guarantees and investment in securities. However, dfcu Limited has a robust framework of policies and processes in place including a strong appraisal process to measure, manage and mitigate credit risks emanating from the various counterparties. The Group’s credit policy is to maintain a diversified portfolio, avoiding large risk concentrations while maintaining stringent internal risk/return guidelines and controls. Other than in the case of very strong, creditworthy clients with an undisputed credit history, all substantial credit risks are normally covered by means of credit insurance, bank guarantees and/or advance payments, and other forms of collaterals like landed property, machine and equipment, debentures, personal guarantees, etc. 54 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

11.1.3. Operational Risk Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from inadequate controls and procedures, unauthorized activities, outsourcing, human error, systems failure and business continuity. It is inherent in every business organization and covers a wide spectrum of issues. dfcu’s management of its exposure to operational risk is governed by policies and procedures. In line with policy, dfcu operates such measures of risk identification, assessment, monitoring and management as are necessary to ensure that operational risk management is consistent with the strategic goals of the company. The policy is designed to safeguard dfcu’s assets while allowing sufficient operational freedom to conduct business. The policy document also sets out the responsibilities of senior management, the requirement for reporting of operational risk incidents and the role of Internal Audit in providing independent assurance.

For effective management of operational risk, dfcu has categorized the operational risk event types as follows: a. Internal Fraud: The risk resulting from dishonesty of personnel within the company, such as forgery of documents, embezzlement, bribery, etc.; b. External Fraud: The risk resulting from dishonesty of individuals outside the company such as forgery of financial documents, fraud, etc.; c. Clients, Products and Business Practices: The risk resulting from business practice, the introduction of a product, and the accessing of a customer’s information that is inappropriate or noncompliant with regulations or rules, such as unauthorized transactions, unapproved dealings, money laundering activities, or the misuse of confidential customer information, etc.; d. Business Disruption and System Failures: The risk resulting from anomalies in the system or the failure of the system in various aspects, such as inconsistency, disparity arising from combining operations, defects in the computer system or network system, or the usage of outdated or substandard technological tools; e. Information security is the practice of defending information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, perusal, inspection, recording or destruction. It is a general term that can be used regardless of the form the data may take (electronic, physical, etc.); f. Information Assurance: the company has put in place systems to ensure information integrity including but not limited to Disaster Recovery programs, database monitoring systems, etc.; and g. Employment Practices and Workplace Safety: The risk resulting from the inappropriate hiring of employees, unjust practices and compensation, exposure to unhealthy or unsafe work conditions or the mistreatment of employees, producing workplace consequences such as litigation, resignation, or demonstration. This risk is ably handled by dfcu staff teams through a robust human resource management policies, processes and monitoring mechanisms.

Recognizing that operational risk cannot be entirely eliminated, dfcu implements risk mitigation controls, including fraud prevention, contingency planning, information security and incident management. Where appropriate, this strategy is further supported by risk transfer mechanisms such as insurance. The operational risk management framework is also being used to track and manage non-traditional risks like Compliance, Regulatory and Reputational. dfcu Limited 55 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

11.1.4. Environmental and Social Risk Environmental and social risks arise as a result of negative impact during the execution of some projects financed by dfcu Group. The impact may be on the environment, work force or the inhabitants of the places where the projects are located. The management of environmental and social risks is a key component of dfcu Group’s lending policy. Customer projects are assessed for environmental and social risks and customers required to implement plans to address any identified risks in line with international standards such as the Equator Principles and International Finance Corporation Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability. Similarly, dfcu Group’s own projects are subjected to the same rigour. This approach to environmental and social risk is over and above the requirements of local regulations.

11.1.5. Reputational Risk This risk emanates from an adverse perception of the Company on the part of any stakeholder arising from an event or transaction of, or related to, the organization. It may arise as a result of an external event or the Company’s own actions can adversely affect perceptions about dfcu held by the public including its customers, shareholders, investors or regulators. Damage to the company’s reputation may have wide-ranging impacts, including adverse effects on profitability, capacity and cost of sourcing funding and availability of new business opportunities.

The risk department regularly monitors and reports to management and the Board any acts that may lead to reputation damage for appropriate redress. Directors and employees are made aware of their role in maintaining the company’s reputation, and of their responsibilities and duties from a customer service, regulatory and ethical perspective. New products are critically reviewed to ensure that they are clear, transparent and comply with both duties of care to customers and regulatory requirements. A comprehensive and timely procedure is in place to deal with customer complaints.

11.1.6. Bribery and Corruption Risks Bribery and corruptions risks stem from unethical conduct of business affairs that encourages corrupt practices or tendencies in order to obtain service or unfair advantage in dealings within the markets and communities the dfcu Group operates. These acts deter potential investors, development partners and customers and may lead to criminal and regulatory investigations, impair the reputation of the dfcu Group and result in loss of market share.

The Company has zero tolerance to acts of bribery and corruption in all its dealings with the staff, customers and suppliers, among others. The anti-bribery and corruption (ABC) program embodies this principle; the program includes oversight and governance, risk management processes, communication and training, reviews, due diligence, preapproval processes for third party relationships, confidential reporting, financial control and record keeping, independent testing and processes. dfcu Group conducts business in accordance with the highest ethical standards and full compliance with all applicable anti-bribery and corruption laws and regulations. Any breaches or attempted breaches of the bribery and corruption policies by an employee, is regarded as an act of gross misconduct and results into consequence management that may lead termination. dfcu encourages staff and all other stakeholders to use its whistleblowing channels to report any such acts of bribery /corruption for management’s further action. 56 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

11.1.7. Compliance Risk Compliance risk is the risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, material financial loss or loss to reputation dfcu Group may suffer as a result of its failure (or perceived failure) to comply with its internal standards, policies and rules of conduct, applicable laws, rules and regulations of the Uganda Securities Exchange, prudential guidelines, supervisory recommendations and directives.

Following the Acquisition, dfcu Bank became one of the top three banks in Uganda and potentially a D-SIB. This position exposes dfcu Bank to enhanced regulatory requirements and scrutiny. dfcu Bank maintains a robust compliance and regulatory risk management framework which will enable it to manage the heightened compliance risk. dfcu Bank continues to review and strengthen its compliance procedures including enhanced customer due diligence and risk profiling as well as sanctions screening in line with local and international AML/CFT requirements.

11.1.8. Market Risk Market risk is the risk of a potential adverse change in the Company’s income or financial position arising from movements in interest rates, exchange rates or other market prices. The risk arises from the structure of the balance sheet, the execution of customer and interbank business and from trading activities. The Company recognizes that the effective management of market risk is essential to the maintenance of stable earnings and the preservation of shareholder value. dfcu’s financial assets and liabilities are based on a combination of variable and fixed short term / long-term interest rates, as such their exposure to interest rate fluctuations are managed by matching the resultant interest rates on such assets and liabilities. The above is governed by policies updated and approved by the Board of Directors who also determine the overall market risk appetite.

11.2. Risks Associated with Shares 11.2.1. Macro-economic Environment Risk Investors in the securities of issuers in markets such as Uganda should be aware that these investments are generally subject to greater risk than investments in the securities of issuers from more developed countries and carry risks that are not typically associated with investing in more mature markets. These risks include, but are not limited to, greater political risk, higher volatility and more limited liquidity, a narrow export base, budget deficits, lack of adequate infrastructure necessary to sustain economic growth and changes in the political and economic environment.

Prospective investors should also note that economies such as Uganda’s are subject to rapid change and that the information set out in this Information Memorandum may become outdated relatively quickly. Potential political, social and economic instability in the Uganda and East African regions may adversely affect dfcu’s business, financial condition and results of operations. dfcu Limited 57 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

11.2.2. Suitability of Investment Each potential investor must determine the suitability of investing in the rights of dfcu Limited in light of their own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should, if in doubt consult their investment bank, financial advisor, stockbroker or other professional advisor, duly authorized under the Capital Markets Authority Act, who specializes in advising on the acquisition of rights and other securities.

• Have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the shares, the merits and risks of investing in the shares and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Information Memorandum • Have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of their overall investment portfolio; • Have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the shares; • Understand thoroughly and be familiar with the performance of any relevant financial markets; and • Be able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect their investment in the Bank and their ability to bear the applicable risks.

11.2.3. Volatility of Price The market value of dfcu shares may fluctuate and may not reflect the company’s underlying asset value or, following consummation of the Acquisition, the underlying asset value of the Group. The value of an investment in dfcu shares may decrease or increase depending on performance, market information or perception, amongst other factors. The market value of the Company shares can fluctuate and may not always reflect the underlying asset value. A number of factors outside the Company’s control may impact their performance and the price of their shares. Such factors include a change in sentiment in the market regarding dfcu shares or the Acquisition, the operating and share price performance of other companies in the industry and markets in which dfcu operates, speculation about the business in the press, media or investment community, changes to company profit estimates, the publication of research reports by analysts and general market conditions.

11.2.4. Dividend Risk Ugandan law provides that any declaration of dividends is by shareholders in a general meeting. Dividends may only be declared to the extent that the company has distributable funds and provided that the declaration is prudent taking into consideration the size, nature, scope and risks associated with the company’s operations, and their need to strengthen their statement of financial position, liquidity and financial position. As the ability to pay dividends is dependent on the availability of distributable reserves, the Company among other things is dependent upon receipt of dividends and other distributions of value from its subsidiary.

The Company’s dividend policy is designed to address multiple objectives. The main considerations are to maximize shareholder wealth, increase market capitalization, ploughing back of additional profits for business expansion and maintaining consistent stream of dividend to shareholders. The Board of Directors determines the level of the dividend after taking account of the outlook of earnings growth, capital expenditure projections and the Company’s cash requirements. Payment of any dividend in cash will be made in Ugandan Shillings and will, in the case of a final dividend, be subject to declaration at the AGM and applicable taxes. 58 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

11.2.5. Exercise of Voting Rights for Nominee Shareholders Beneficial owners of dfcu shares that are registered in a nominee account (held by SCD agents and custodians) may not be able to vote such shares unless their ownership is reregistered in their names with the SCD prior to the Company’s general meetings. The Company cannot guarantee that beneficial owners of its shares will receive the notice for an AGM in time to instruct their nominees to either effect a re-registration of their shares or otherwise vote their shares in the manner desired by such beneficial owners.

11.2.6. Dilution Risk With the corporate action of raising capital internally through a rights issue, shareholders who do not take up their rights face the risk of dilution. The dilution would in turn affect the shareholder’s ownership percentage and earnings per share. It is important to note that a Rights Issue is not similar to that of a stock split. In a stock split, all shareholders receive additional shares allotted to them by virtue of the ratio and this in turn preserves their ownership percentage and investment value. In a Right Issue, shareholders will be required to follow their rights to avoid this risk. dfcu Limited 59 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

II. Reporting Accountant’s Report.

The Directors dfcu Limited Plot 26 Kyadondo P. O. Box 2767 Kampala, Uganda

24 August 2017

Reporting Accountant’s report on compilation and review of the financial information of dfcu Limited for the period ended 31 March 2017 and the years ended 31 December 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.

Introduction We hereby submit our Reporting Accountant’s Report in accordance with the requirements of Section 6 and Part 3 of the Third Schedule to the Capital Markets (Prospectus Requirements) Regulations of Uganda.

We have examined the reviewed interim financial information for the 3 months period ended 31 March 2017. We have also examined the audited financial statements of dfcu Limited (the “Company”) for the following periods; 1. Year ended 31 December 2016 2. Year ended 31 December 2015 3. Year ended 31 December 2014 4. Year ended 31 December 2013 5. Year ended 31 December 2012 We have compiled the accompanying financial information of the Company based on audited and unaudited financial statements and information you have provided. This financial information comprises the statements of financial position of dfcu Limited as at 31 March 2017, and as at 31 December 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016; the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the periods then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. The financial statements as at 31 March 2017 are condensed interim financial statements. We performed this compilation engagement in accordance with International Standard on Related Services 4410 (Revised), Compilation Engagements.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) acted as the auditor of the Company for the years 2012 to 2015 and KPMG acted as the auditor for the periods 2016 to 2017, and issued unqualified audit reports.

Responsibilities of the directors The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the information Memorandum and all the information contained therein and for the preparation of the financial statements and the financial information to which this Accountants’ Report relates and from which it has been prepared.

Our responsibility You required us to prepare an Accountants’ Report to be included in the Information Memorandum for the purposes of a rights issue. Our responsibility is detailed in our letter of engagement. The objective of the engagement was to enable us to state whether, on the basis of our review procedures which do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 2012 of Uganda. dfcu Limited 77 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

Basis of conclusion The financial information set out in this report was prepared in accordance with International Standard on Related Services 4410- Engagement to compile Financial Statements (ISRS 4410) and is based on the audited financial statements of the Company, after making the adjustments considered appropriate to make all the financial statements compliant with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Further to enable us prepare an Accountants’ Report, we carried out procedures to satisfy ourselves that the information presented in the financial statements was in accordance with the Regulations.

In compiling the financial information, we have effected the following adjustment to the information presented in the audited financial statements as set out below;

Previously stated Restated 2012 2012

Net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company (Shs M) 30,617 30,617 Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue 248,600,911 497,201,822 Basic earnings per share (Shs) 123.16 61.58 Diluted earnings per share (Shs) 123.16 61.58

During the financial year 2014, there was a bonus issue, therefore the number of ordinary shares outstanding increased without an increase in resources. As per IAS 33, Earnings per share, the number of ordinary shares outstanding before the event should be adjusted for the proportionate change in the number of ordinary shares outstanding as if the event had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. This was effected in the financial year 2013 but was not effected in 2012, which is the earliest period presented. We have restated the 2012 figures to that effect and the change has impacted note 12, Earnings per share and the face of the Statement of Comprehensive Income under the heading, Earnings per share. In addition to our compilation engagement, we have reviewed the financial information of dfcu Limited as set out above. We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2400, Engagements to Review Historical Financial Statements (“ISRE 2400”).

This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial information is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of management and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention to indicate that the accompanying financial information of dfcu Limited is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. We consent to the inclusion of this report in the dfcu Limited Information memorandum to be issued on or about 24 August 2017 in the form and context in which it appears.

Notes 1. General information dfcu Limited, a company registered in Uganda, and its subsidiaries (hereafter ‘the Group’) provides commercial banking, lease and mortgage finance for the development of people and businesses in Uganda.

The company is a public limited company, which is listed on the Uganda Securities Exchange and incorporated and domiciled in Uganda.

These condensed interim financial statements have been reviewed, but not audited.

2. Basis of preparation These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months period ended 31 March 2017 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34,’lnterim financial reporting’ and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s last annual consolidated financial statements as at end of the year ended 31 December 2016. They do not contain all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements.

A detailed breakdown of the Condensed Interim Financial Statements showing the financial statement line items as presented in the annual financial statements has been shown as an appendix to these financial statements.

The Group operates in an industry where significant seasonal or cyclical variations in interest rates are experienced during the financial year.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 10 July 2017.

3. Accounting policies The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. 84 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

4. Use of judgements and estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

5. Business combination The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities.

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss. Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. Notes (continued)

6. Financial risk management and financial instruments a. Financial risk factors The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk, and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements as at 31 December 2016. There have been no changes in any risk management policies since the year end. b. Liquidity risk Compared to year end, there was no material change in the contractual undiscounted cash out flows for financial liabilities. dfcu Limited 85 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

c. Fair value estimation As at 31 March 2017, the Bank had treasury bills and treasury bonds that are held-for-trading and are measured at fair value. Held-for-trading treasury bills fair values are derived from quoted market prices and held-for-trading treasury bonds fair values are derived from discounting expected future cash flows. The discounting rates used for the valuation of treasury bonds are derived from observable market data. The Bank uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: • Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly from the market. The sources of input parameters like government treasury bills yield curve or counterparty credit risk are the Bank of Uganda website, Reuters and comparison with similar financial institutions. • Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

7. Segment information For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services, and has two reportable operating segments as follows: • dfcu Limited, which is the holding company that is listed on the Uganda Stock Exchange. • dfcu Bank Limited; this is the commercial banking segment which provides innovative products and superior service levels catering for customer needs in the areas of savings and investment products, personal and current accounts, personal credit, corporate credit, trade finance, foreign exchange trading, money market transfers, etc. It also consists of a development finance segment which provides medium and long term finance to private sectors in Uganda. The sectors include agro processing, education, health, manufacturing, transport, hospitality industry, tourism and construction.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.

21. Contingent liabilities and commitments One of the subsidiaries of the Company, dfcu Bank Limited (the Bank) conducts business involving acceptances, guarantees, performance bonds and indemnities. The majority of these facilities are offset by corresponding obligations of third parties. In addition, there are other commitments including undrawn stand- by facilities, the nominal amounts for which are not reflected in the statement of financial position.

Nature of contingent liabilities An acceptance is an undertaking by a bank to pay a bill of exchange drawn on a customer. The Bank expects most acceptances to be presented, and reimbursement by the customer is normally immediate. Amounts committed under acceptances are accounted for as off-statement of financial position items and are disclosed as contingent liabilities and commitments. Letters of credit commit the Bank to make payments to third parties, on production of documents, which are subsequently reimbursed by customers. Guarantees are generally written by the Bank to support performance by a customer to third parties. The Bank will only be required to meet these obligations in the event of the customer’s default.

22.Acquisition of Crane Bank Limited On 27th January 2017, Bank of Uganda in exercise of its powers as Receiver, under Section 95(1)(b) of the Financial Institutions Act transferred some of the liabilities (including the deposits) of Crane Bank Limited to dfcu Bank Limited and in consideration of that transfer of liabilities conveyed to dfcu Bank Limited, Crane Bank Limited’s assets.

All customers of Crane Bank Limited now have their accounts operated by dfcu Bank Limited through the wide spread branch network, which now includes some branches that were formerly operated by Crane Bank Limited. As a result, the bank’s branch network has increased from 42 to 67 branches country wide. dfcu Limited took a loan from Arise B.V. and used that to inject an additional capital of Shs 176.5 billion in dfcu Bank Limited, to meet capital requirements. a.Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed The following table summarises the recognised amounts of assets acquired and liabilities at fair value assumed at the date of acquisition.

Ushs M Property, plant and equipment 89,164 Intangible assets 34,982 Investment in subsidiaries 23,097 Cash and cash balances with BOU 56,355 Government securities 158,931 Deposits & bank balance due 11,960 Net advances to customers 771,230 Other assets 7,56 0 Investment in shares and corporate bonds 14,395 Customers deposits (674,958) Other liabilities (219,834) Restoration costs (2,126) Fair value of identifiable net assets 270,756 Deferred obligation (148,905) Bargain purchase recognised in income 121,851 b. Bargain purchase The transaction resulted in a gain because the net identifiable assets were fair valued and the fair value was in excess of the deferred obligation. This amount has been recorded under ‘Total income’ in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. c.Acquisition related costs. The acquisition related costs incurred to effect the business combination e.g. legal costs, advisory costs, valuation costs among others are accounted for as expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss account and recorded under operating expenses. 94 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

23. Standards issued but not yet effective A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2017 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the following new or amended standards in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The Group has the following updates to information provided in the last annual financial statements about the standards issued but not yet effective that may have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Group currently plans to apply IFRS 9 initially on 1 January 2018. The actual impact of adopting IFRS 9 on the Group’s consolidated financial statements in 2018 is not known and cannot be reasonably estimated because it will be dependent on the financial instruments that the Group holds and economic conditions at that time, as well as accounting elections and judgements that it will make in the future. The new standard will require the Group to revise its accounting processes and internal controls related to reporting financial instruments and these changes are not yet complete. However, the Group is performing a preliminary assessment of the potential impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 based on its positions at 30 June 2017.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes. IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Group is assessing the potential impact of the adoption of IFRS 15 on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 16 Leases IFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises a right- of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. There are optional exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard – i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases. IFRS 16 replaces existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early adoption is permitted for entities that apply IFRS 15 at or before the date of initial application of IFRS 16. The Group has started an initial assessment of the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements. So far, the most significant impact identified is that the Group will recognise new assets and liabilities for its operating leases of warehouse and factory facilities. In addition, the nature of expenses related to those leases will now change as IFRS 16 replaces the straight-line operating lease expense with a depreciation charge for right-of-use assets and interest expense on lease liabilities. The Group has not yet decided whether it will use the optional exemptions. The Group is assessing the potential impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial statements. dfcu Limited 95 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

1. General information dfcu Limited (‘the Company’) is incorporated in Uganda under the Ugandan Companies Act, 2012 as a public limited liability company and is domiciled in Uganda. Some of the company’s shares are listed on the Uganda Securities Exchange (USE). It is domiciled in Uganda and the address of its registered office is:

Plot 26 Kyadondo Road P.O. Box 2767 Kampala Uganda. For the Ugandan Companies Act reporting purposes, the balance sheet is represented by the consolidated statement of financial position and the profit and loss account is represented by the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in these financial statements.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

A. Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with and comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The measurement basis applied is the historical cost basis, except where otherwise stated in the accounting policies below. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Uganda Shillings (Shs), rounded to the nearest million (Shs M).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in Note 4.

B. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures i) New and amended standards adopted by the Group The following standards have been adopted by the Group for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2016:

Amendments to IFRS 11: Accounting for acquisitions of interests in Joint Operations. This amendment requires the acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business, as defined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations, to apply all of the principles on business combinations accounting in IFRS 3 and other IFRSs except for those principles that conflict with the guidance of IFRS 11. In addition, the acquirer shall disclose the information required by IFRS 3 and other IFRSs for business combinations. The amendment did not have a significant effect on the Group’s financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation IAS 16 and IAS 38 both establish the principle for the basis of depreciation and amortisation as being the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits of an asset. The objective of the amendments is to ensure that preparers do not use revenue-based methods to calculate charges for the depreciation or amortisation of items of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets. 106 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) B. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures (Continued) i) New and amended standards adopted by the Group (Continued) Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation (Continued)

This is because a revenue-based method reflects a pattern of economic benefits being generated from the asset, rather than the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The Group has applied the amendment and there has been no significant impact on the Group’s financial statements as a result.

Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41: Bearer plants IAS 41 currently requires all biological plants related to agricultural activity to be measured at fair value less costs to sell. This is based on the principle that the biological transformation that these assets undergo during their lifespan is best reflected by fair value measurement. A subset of biological assets known as Bearer plants are used solely to grow produce over several periods. The IASB have decided that bearer plants should be accounted for in the same way as property, plant and equipment in IAS 16, because their operation is similar to that of manufacturing. While bearer plants will be accounted for under IAS 16, the produce that grows on them will continue to be accounted for under IAS 41. The amendment has no impact on the Group as it has no biological assets.

Amendments to IAS 27: Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements The amendments to IAS 27 permit the use of the equity method in separate financial statements, and apply to the accounting for subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. When an entity prepares separate financial statements, it shall now account for subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates using either of the three following methods: which must be applied by the entity for each category of investment: i. Cost; ii. In accordance with IFRS 9 / IAS 39; or iii. Using the equity method as described in IAS 28. The entity must apply the same accounting treatment for each category of investment Other standards, amendments and interpretations which are effective for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2016 are not material to the Group. The Group has applied the amendment and there has been no significant impact on the Group’s financial statements as a result.

Amendments to IAS 1: Disclosure Initiative The following narrow scope amendments have been made to IAS 1 under the Disclosure Initiative: • Materiality and aggregation: clarifies that an entity should not obscure useful information by aggregating or disaggregating information. It also clarifies that materiality considerations apply to the primary financial statements, notes and any other specific requirements in IFRS so that disclosures specifically required by IFRSs are only required where the information is material. • Consolidated and separate statement of financial position, consolidated and separate statement of profit or loss, consolidated and separate statement of other comprehensive income: clarifies that the line items specified by IAS 1 for these statements can be aggregated or disaggregated as relevant. • Presentation of items of other comprehensive income: clarifies that an entity’s share of other comprehensive income of equity accounted associates and joint ventures should be presented in aggregate as single line items based on whether or not the item will subsequently be reclassified to profit or loss

The Group has applied the amendment and there has been no significant impact on the Group’s financial statements as a result. dfcu Limited 107 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28: Investment entities: exception to consolidation The amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 clarify that the exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements applies to a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity, when the investment entity measures all of its subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss. The amendments also clarify that only a subsidiary that is not an investment entity itself and provides support services to the investment entity is consolidated. All other subsidiaries of an investment entity are measured at fair value. The amendments to IAS 28 allow an investor, when applying the equity method to retain the fair value measurement applied by the investment entity associate or joint venture to its interests in subsidiaries. The consequential amendments to IFRS 12 clarify that investment entities that measure their subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss shall present the disclosures relating to investment entities required by IFRS 12. The Group has applied the amendment and there has been no impact on the Group’s financial statements as a result. ii) Standards issued but not yet effective A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2017 and earlier application is permitted, however, the Group has not early adopted the following new or amended standards in preparing these financial statements.

Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 7) The amendments require disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities including, both changes arising from cash flow and non-cash changes. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017, with early adoption permitted.

To satisfy the new disclosure requirements, the Group intends to present a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances for liabilities with changes arising from financing activities.

Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses (Amendments to IAS 12) The amendments clarify the accounting for deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value. This is regardless of whether the instrument is recovered through sale or by holding it to maturity or whether it is probable that the issuer will pay all contractual cash flows. Entities are therefore required to recognise deferred taxes for temporary differences from unrealised losses of debt instruments measured at fair value if all other recognition criteria for deferred taxes are met.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017, with early adoption permitted.

The Group is assessing the potential impact on its financial statements resulting from the amendments. So far, the Group does not expect any significant impact.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2014) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments issued on 24 July 2014 is the IASB’s replacement of IAS 39’s Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The Standard includes requirements for recognition and measurement, impairment, derecognition and general hedge accounting. 108 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

Recognition and measurement The recognition and measurement of financial assets under IFRS 9 is built on a single classification and measurement approach for financial assets that reflects the business model in which they are managed and their cash flow characteristics. The recognition of financial liabilities under IFRS 9 carries forward the treatment of IAS 39, except that IFRS 9 does introduce new requirements for the accounting for and presentation of changes in the fair value of an entity’s own debt when the entity has chosen to measure the debt at fair value using the fair value option. IFRS 9 requires that the changes in the fair value of an entity’s own credit risk should be recognised in other comprehensive income rather than the profit or loss. In addition, the IFRS 9 impairment model has been changed from an “incurred loss” model in IAS 39 to an “expected credit loss” model.

Hedge accounting IFRS 9 introduces a substantial revision to hedge accounting requirements which will allow entities better reflect their risk management activities in their financial statements. The revision was issued in a response to concerns of preparers of financial statements about the difficulty of appropriately reflecting management activities in financial statements, the changes also address concerns raised by users of the financial statements about the difficulty of understanding hedge accounting.

The version of IFRS 9 issued in 2014 supersedes all previous versions and is mandatorily effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with early adoption permitted (subject to local endorsement requirements). For a Limited period, previous versions of IFRS 9 may be adopted early if not already done so provided the relevant date of initial application is before 1 February 2015. In addition, the own credit changes can be early applied in isolation without otherwise changing the accounting for financial instruments.

The Group is assessing the potential impact on its financial statements the application of this standard.

Clarifications to IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes.

These amendments to the Revenue Standard, which was issued in 2014, do not change the underlying principles of the Standard but clarify how those principles should be applied. The amendments clarify how to: • identify a performance obligation (the promise to transfer a good or a service to a customer) in a contract; • determine whether a company is a principal (the provider of a good or service) or an agent (responsible for arranging for the good or service to be provided); and • determine whether the revenue from granting a licence should be recognised at a point in time or over time. • In addition to the clarifications, the amendments include two additional reliefs to reduce cost and complexity for a company when it first applies the new Standard.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. The Group is assessing the potential impact on its financial statements resulting from the amendments. So far, the Group does not expect any significant impact.

dfcu Limited 109 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

Amendments to IFRS 2: Classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions The Amendments to IFRS 2: Classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions clarify how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. They specifically provide requirements on the accounting for:

• the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments; • share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations; and • a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled.

Once the amendments are applied, the timing and amount of expense recognised for new and outstanding awards could change. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. The Group is assessing the potential impact on its financial statements resulting from the amendments. So far, the Group does not expect any significant impact.

Amendments to IFRS 4: Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts The Amendments to IFRS 4: Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts address concerns arising from implementing IFRS 9 before implementing the replacement IFRS 4 standard that is being currently developed by the Board. The amendments: • permit companies that issue insurance contracts, the option to recognise in other comprehensive income, rather than profit or loss, the volatility that could arise when IFRS 9 is applied before the new IFRS 4 id issued; and • give companies whose activities are predominantly connected with insurance an optional temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 until 2021. The entities that defer application of IFRS 9 will continue to apply the existing financial instruments standard – IAS 39. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Group is assessing the potential impact on its financial statements resulting from the amendments. So far, the Group does not expect any significant impact.

IFRS 16: Leases The changes under IFRS 16 are significant and will predominantly affect lessees, the accounting for which is substantially reformed. The lessor accounting requirements contained in IFRS 16’s predecessor, IAS 17 will remain largely unchanged. The main impact on lessees is that almost all leases will go on balance sheet. This is because the balance sheet distinction between operating and finance leases is removed for lessees. Instead, under IFRS 16, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exemptions are short-term and low-value leases. The standard introduces new estimates and judgemental thresholds that affect the identification, classification and measurement of lease transactions. More extensive disclosures, both qualitative and quantitative, are also required.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with early adoption permitted for entities that apply IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers at or before the date of initial application of this Standard. The Group is assessing the potential impact on its financial statements resulting from the amendments. 110 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture The amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 address an inconsistency between the two standards in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves a business. A partial gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if those assets are housed in a subsidiary. The amendments were deferred indefinitely (pending outcome of research project on the equity method of accounting).

C. Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of dfcu Limited and its subsidiary Dfcu Bank Limited.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The Group applies the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with IAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

The excess of the consideration transferred the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss. dfcu Limited 111 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. When group acquires or disposes any interest in an existing subsidiary and there is no change in control, all transactions with non-controlling interests are recorded in equity.

Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Profits and losses resulting from intercompany transactions that are recognised in assets are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

D. Borrowing costs General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Specific borrowings are funds borrowed specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. For specific borrowings, the actual costs incurred are capitalised. If the entity temporarily reinvests some funds, investment income earned should be deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All borrowings that are not specific represent general borrowings. Costs eligible for capitalisation are calculated by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on qualifying assets. The capitalisation rate is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the entity that are outstanding during the period. The amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is always limited to the amount of actual borrowing costs incurred during the period. Where the parent company finances the construction of a qualifying asset using an intra-group loan, the capitalisation rate is adjusted to reflect how the qualifying asset was financed from the perspective of the group as a whole.

E. Operating income i. Interest income and expense Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be measured reliably. Interest income and expense are recognised in profit or loss for all interest bearing instruments at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The calculation includes all fees paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts. 112 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

When loans and advances become doubtful of collection, they are written down to their recoverable amounts and interest income is thereafter recognised based on the rate of interest that was used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the recoverable amount. ii. Fees and commission The Group earns fees and commission income from a diverse range of services it provides to its customers. These are earned from services that are provided over a certain period of time. Fees and commissions are generally recognised on an accrual basis when the service has been provided. Loan commitment fees for loans that are likely to be drawn down are deferred (together with related direct costs) and recognised as an adjustment to the effective interest rate on the loan.

When it is unlikely that the loan will be drawn down, the loan commitment fees are recognised over the commitment period on a straight line basis.

F. Foreign currency translation Items included in the consolidated and separate financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (`the functional currency’). The consolidated and separate financial statements are presented in Ugandan Shillings which is the Group’s functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. 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 profit or loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in profit or loss within `net foreign exchange income’.

Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available-for- sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive income.

G. Financial assets and liabilities i. Recognition A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one enterprise and a financial liability of another enterprise. Financial instruments held by the Group include balances with Bank of Uganda, loans and advances, investments in government securities, balances with banks, deposits, derivatives and group balances.

The Group initially recognises loans and advances, deposits, debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date on which they are originated. All other financial instruments (including regular-way purchases and sales of financial assets) are recognised on the trade date, which is the date on which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

A financial asset or financial liability is measured initially at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. dfcu Limited 113 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

ii. Classification Management determines the appropriate classification of its financial instruments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates its portfolio on a regular basis to ensure that all financial instruments are appropriately classified. The classification of financial instruments at initial recognition depends on the purpose and the management’s intention for which the financial instruments were acquired and their characteristics. • Held for trading assets and liabilities are those assets and liabilities that the Group acquires or incurs principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term, or holds as part of a portfolio that is managed together for short-term profit or position taking. • Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and which are not designated at fair value through profit or loss or available-for-sale. • Available-for-sale investments are non-derivative investments that are not designated as another category of financial assets. Available for sale assets are recognised on the date they are transferred to the Group. There are no available-for-sale financial assets in the Group. • Loans and advances and amounts due from banks are recognised when cash is advanced to borrowers. Loans and advances are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable. • Financial liabilities: The Group classifies its financial liabilities other than guarantees and loan commitments as measured at amortised cost or fair value through profit and loss. iii. Measurement Initial measurement of financial instruments All financial instruments are measured initially at their fair value plus transaction costs, except in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at fair value through profit or loss, which are recorded at fair value.

Subsequent measurement of financial instruments a. Amortised cost measurement The ‘amortised cost’ of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition, minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount recognised and the maturity amount, minus any reduction for impairment b. Fair value measurement ‘Fair value’ is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non- performance risk. When available, the Group measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as active if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Group uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction. 114 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is normally the transaction price – i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received. If the Group determines that the fair value at initial recognition differs from the transaction price and the fair value is evidenced neither by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability nor based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets, then the financial instrument is initially measured at fair value, adjusted to defer the difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price. Subsequently, that difference is recognised in profit or loss on an appropriate basis over the life of the instrument but no later than when the valuation is wholly supported by observable market data or the transaction is closed out. If an asset or a liability measured at fair value has a bid price and an ask price, then the Group measures assets and long positions at a bid price and liabilities and short positions at an ask price.

Portfolios of financial assets and financial liabilities that are exposed to market risk and credit risk that are managed by the Group on the basis of the net exposure to either market or credit risk are measured on the basis of a price that would be received to sell a net long position (or paid to transfer a net short position) for a particular risk exposure. Those portfolio-level adjustments are allocated to the individual assets and liabilities on the basis of the relative risk adjustment of each of the individual instruments in the portfolio. The fair value of a demand deposit is not less than the amount payable on demand, discounted from the first date on which the amount could be required to be paid.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

i. De-recognition of financial instruments a. Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when: • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or • The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either: • The Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or • The Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass- through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay. dfcu Limited 115 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

b. Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss. ii. Identification and measurement of impairment At each reporting date the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss are impaired. Financial assets are impaired when objective evidence demonstrates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event has an impact on the future cash flows on the asset that can be estimated reliably.

The Group considers evidence of impairment at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant financial assets are assessed for specific impairment. All significant assets found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that may have incurred but not yet identified. Assets that are not individually significant are then collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together financial assets (carried at amortised cost) with similar risk characteristics. Objective evidence that a financial asset or group of assets is impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Group about the following loss events: a). significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; b). a breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments; c). the Group granting to the borrower, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider; d). it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial difficulty; e). the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties. f). observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the group, including: vii. adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group; or viii. National or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group.

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for all financial assets. If the Group determines no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment.

Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans, advances and receivables or held-to-maturity assets carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial instrument’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If a loan or held-to-maturity asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. 116 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralised financial asset reflects the cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable.

For the purposes of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics (i.e. on the basis of the Group’s business and product segments). Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated.

Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of the contractual cash flows of the assets in the group and historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the group. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently.

Ugandan Financial Institutions Act 2004 as amended by the Financial Institutions (Amendment) Act, 2016 requirements In addition to the measurement of impairment losses on loans and advances in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as set out above, the Group is also required by the Financial Institutions Act, 2004 as amended by the Financial Institutions (Amendment) Act, 2016 to estimate losses on loans and advances as follows: i) A specific provision for those loans and advances considered to be non-performing based on criteria and classification of such loans and advances established by the Financial Institutions Credit Classification Regulations, 2005, as follows: a). substandard assets with arrears period between 90 and 179 days – 20%; b). doubtful assets with arrears period between 180 days and 359 days – 50%; c). loss assets with arrears period over 360 days – 100%.

In addition to the arrears period, banks must follow subjective criteria in arriving at the classification attributable to the assets. ii) A general provision of at least 1% of their total outstanding credit facilities net of specific provisions. Where provisions for impairment of loans and advances determined in accordance with the Financial Institutions Act, 2004 as amended by the Financial Institutions (Amendment) Act, 2016 exceed amounts determined in accordance with IFRS, the excess is taken to a regulatory reserve as an appropriation of retained earnings. Otherwise, the regulatory reserve is reduced to the extent that the provision for impairment determined in accordance with IFRS exceeds that determined in accordance with the Financial Institutions Act, 2004 as amended by the Financial Institutions (Amendment) Act, 2016 and the amount taken back to retained earnings.

When a loan is uncollectible, it is written off against the related allowance for loan impairment. Such loans are written off after all the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off decrease the charge for loan impairment in profit or loss. dfcu Limited 117 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account. The amount of the reversal is recognized in profit or loss. iii. Renegotiated loans Where possible, the Group seeks to restructure loans rather than to take possession of collateral. This may involve extending the payment arrangements and the agreement of new loan conditions. Once the terms have been renegotiated any impairment is measured using the original effective interest rate as calculated before the modification of terms and the loan is no longer considered past due. Management continuously reviews renegotiated loans to ensure that all criteria are met and that future payments are likely to occur. The loans continue to be subject to an individual or collective impairment assessment, calculated using the loan’s original effective interest rate. iv. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated and separate statement of financial position when and only when, there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Income and expense are presented on a net basis only when permitted under IFRS or from gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions such as the Group’s trading activity. v. Staff loans In the normal course of business, the Group advances loans to employees at below market rate. These loans are measured initially at fair value. The favourable loan term offered to employees are dependent on the continued employment and therefore relate to services to be rendered in future periods.

The interest benefit is forfeited if the employee leaves the Group. The benefit is a long term benefit to the employees and the discount arising from the difference between the nominal value and the market value is treated as a prepayment and expensed in profit or loss in the period in which the services are rendered.

I. Property and equipment i. Recognition and measurement Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self- constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

If significant parts of an item of property or equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property and equipment.

Land and buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation on buildings and impairment losses recognised after the date of the revaluation. Valuations are performed frequently to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount. Any revaluation surplus is credited to the asset revaluation reserve in equity through other comprehensive income, except to the extent 118 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is recognised in profit or loss. A revaluation deficit is recognised in the profit or loss, except to the extent that it offsets an existing surplus on the same asset recognised in the asset revaluation reserve.

An annual transfer from the asset revaluation reserve to retained earnings is made for the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the assets and depreciation based on the assets original cost. Additionally, accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Upon disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to the particular asset being sold is transferred to retained earnings.

An item of property and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised. ii. Subsequent cost Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that the future economic benefits of the expenditure will flow to the Group. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. iii. Depreciation Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives of significant items of property and equipment are as follows: Buildings 40 years Furniture, fittings and equipment 6 – 7 years Computer equipment 3 – 4 years Motor vehicles 4 years Work-in-progress Not depreciated

Leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvements, and the remaining lease term. Management and directors review the residual value and useful life of an asset at the year end and any change considered to be appropriate in accounting estimate is prospectively recorded through profit or loss.

I.Intangible assets Recognition and measurement i. Goodwill Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. ii. Other intangible assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. dfcu Limited 119 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

iii. Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. iv. Amortisation Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful economic lives using the straight line method and are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period.

Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets. Amortisation methods, residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate. Goodwill is not amortised. v. Derecognition An item of intangible assets is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

J. Income tax Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in OCI. i. Current tax Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax arising from dividends. ii. Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on business plans for the Group and the reversal of temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves. 120 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

Additional taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends by the Group are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend is recognised. These amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss because they generally relate to income arising from transactions that were originally recognised in profit or loss. iii. Tax exposures In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Group considers the impact of tax exposures, including whether additional taxes and interest may be due. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgments about future events. New information may become available that causes the Group to change its judgment regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities would impact tax expense in the period in which such a determination is made.

K. Cash and cash equivalents For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise balances with less than 90 days to maturity from the consolidated statement of financial position date and include: cash and balances with the Central Bank, treasury bills and other eligible bills. Cash and cash equivalents excludes the cash reserves requirement held with Bank of Uganda. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at amortised cost in the consolidated statement of financial position.

L. Employee benefits i. Retirement benefit obligations The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all its eligible employees in dfcu Limited and dfcu Bank Limited. The scheme is administered by a Board of Trustees and is funded from contributions from both the Group companies and employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group 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 Group and all its employees also contribute to the National Social Security Fund, which is a defined contribution scheme. The Group’s contributions to the defined contribution pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the year to which they relate. dfcu Limited 121 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

ii. Other entitlements Short-term benefits consist of salaries, bonuses and any non-monetary benefits such as medical aid contributions and free services; they exclude termination benefits. Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A provision is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under a short-term cash bonus only if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past services provided by the employee and if the obligation can be measured reliably.

The estimated monetary liability for employees’ accrued annual leave entitlement at the reporting date is recognised as an expense accrual.

M. Leases Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Leases where the lessee assumes substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are classified as finance leases. Similarly leases of assets under which the lessor retains a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. i. With the Group Company as lessee To date, all leases entered into by the Bank are operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. ii. With the Group Company as lessor When assets are leased out 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 finance income. Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease using the net investment method (before income tax), which reflects a constant periodic rate of return.

N. Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (CODM). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Executive Management Board.

O. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated and separate statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

P. Dividends Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as a liability and charged to equity in the period in which they are declared. Proposed dividends are shown as a separate component of equity until declared.

Q. Dividend income Dividends are recognised as income in the period in which the right to receive payment is established. 122 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

R. Earnings per share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all any potentially dilutive ordinary shares which comprise share options granted to employees

S. Financial guarantees and loan commitments Financial guarantees are contracts that require the Group to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Such financial guarantees are given to banks, financial institutions and other bodies on behalf of customers to secure loans, overdrafts and other facilities. Loan commitments are firm commitments to provide credit under pre-specified terms and conditions.

Financial guarantee liabilities or loan commitments to provide a loan at below market interest rate are initially recognised at their fair value, and the initial fair value is amortised over the life of the financial guarantee or commitment. The liability is subsequently carried at the higher of this amortised amount and the present value of any expected payment to settle the liability when a payment under the guarantee has become probable. Financial guarantees and loan commitments are included within other liabilities.

T. Contingent liabilities Letters of credit, acceptances, guarantees and performance bonds are accounted for as off consolidated statement of financial position transactions and disclosed as contingent liabilities. Estimates of the outcome and financial effect of contingent liabilities is made by management based on the information available up to the date the consolidated financial statements are approved for issue by the directors. Any expected loss is charged to profit or loss.

U. Trading assets and liabilities Trading assets and liabilities’ are those assets and liabilities that the Group acquires or incurs principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term, or holds as part of a portfolio that is managed together for short-term profit or position taking.

Trading assets and liabilities are initially recognised and subsequently measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position, with transaction costs recognised in profit or loss. All changes in fair value are recognised as part of net trading income in profit or loss. Trading assets and liabilities are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except that non-derivative trading assets, other than those designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition, may be reclassified out of the fair value through profit or loss – i.e. trading – category if they are no longer held for the purpose of being sold or repurchased in the near term and the following conditions are met. • If the financial asset would have met the definition of loans and receivables (if the financial asset had not been required to be classified as held-for-trading at initial recognition), then it may be reclassified if the Group has the intention and ability to hold the financial asset for the foreseeable future or until maturity. • If the financial asset would not have met the definition of loans and receivables, then it may be reclassified out of the trading category only in rare circumstances. dfcu Limited 123 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

V. Impairment of non-financial assets At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that is largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The ‘recoverable amount’ of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. ‘Value in use’ is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre- tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. The Group’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows and are used by more than one CGU. Corporate assets are allocated to CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis and tested for impairment as part of the testing of the CGUs to which the corporate assets are allocated.

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

W. Other reserves, fair value reserves and currency translation reserves In accordance with the terms and conditions of certain grants received by the Group, amounts are recognised in profit or loss and then appropriated from retained earnings to non-distributable reserves. The non- distributable reserve is set aside by the directors for the purpose of meeting any future deficit in Capital.

Revaluation reserves include gains or losses from the revaluation of property. Fair value gains and/or losses on property are recognised in other comprehensive income and only transferred to retained earnings when realised. Currency translation differences arising from translation of investments in subsidiaries are recognised in other comprehensive income.

X. Special funds Special funds represent liabilities created under the terms of borrowing agreements with various international lending organisations. The Group holds these funds, utilizing and disbursing them as directed by the Government of Uganda. The unutilized balances on these funds are presented as liabilities on the statement of financial position.

Y. Managed funds Managed funds represent amounts received from the Government of Uganda for on-lending to specific third parties in accordance ith the terms and conditions of each managed fund. The Group does not bear the credit risk related to the lent funds. The liability related to such funds is presented in the statement of financial position net of the carrying value of the respective managed assets. 124 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

Z. Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost. i.Restructuring A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or has been announced publicly. Future operating losses are not provided for. ii. Onerous contracts A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract. iii. Bank levies A provision for bank levies is recognised when the condition that triggers the payment of the levy is met. If a levy obligation is subject to a minimum activity threshold so that the obligating event is reaching a minimum activity, then a provision is recognised when that minimum activity threshold is reached.

AA. Contract lease disbursements Contract lease disbursements represent payments that are made under finance lease agreements prior to delivery of the leased asset(s) to the borrower. Interest is accrued on these payments and recognised as income. Once the equipment is delivered, the lessee has the option to pay cash for the interest accrued or to add the interest onto the finance lease as part of the gross amount due.

AB. Investment property Property held for long term rental yields and not occupied by the Group is classified as investment property. A portion of the property at Plot 26 Kyadondo is occupied by the Company’s subsidiary, dfcu Bank Limited, and is classified as property, plant and equipment in the consolidated financial statements. The remaining portion is held for long term rental yields and is accounted for as investment property.

An investment property is defined under IAS 40, Investment property, as a property (land or a building or part of a building or both) held (by the owner or by the lessee under a finance lease) to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for: • use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or • sale in the ordinary course of business. Investment property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation. dfcu Limited 125 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

3. Financial risk management The Group’s financial assets are classified as held-for-trading, held-to-maturity or loans, advances and other receivables, and all financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost. The carrying amounts for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities are included in the table below

3A Strategy in using financial instruments By their nature, the Group’s activities are principally related to the use of financial instruments. The Group accepts deposits from customers at both fixed and floating rates, and for various periods, and seeks to earn above-average interest margins by investing these funds in high-quality assets. The Group seeks to increase these margins by consolidating short-term funds and lending for longer periods at higher rates, while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet all claims that might fall due.

The Group also seeks to raise its interest margins by obtaining above-average margins, net of allowances, through lending to commercial and retail borrowers with a range of credit standings. Such exposures involve not just on-consolidated statement of financial position loans and advances; the Group also enters into guarantees and other commitments such as letters of credit, and performance and other bonds.

The Group also trades in financial instruments. The Board places trading limits on the level of exposure that can be taken in relation to both overnight and intra-day market positions. The fair value gains or losses arising from trading in financial instruments are recognised in profit or loss under interest and similar income. Foreign exchange and interest rate exposures and associated derivatives are normally economically hedged by entering into counterbalancing positions, thereby controlling the variability in the net cash amounts required to liquidate market positions.

3B Credit risk The Group takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that a counter party will cause a financial loss to the Group by failing to pay amounts in full when due. Impairment allowances are provided for losses that have been incurred at the reporting date. Credit risk is the most important risk for the Group’s business. Therefore management carefully manages the exposure to credit risk. Credit exposures arise principally in lending and investment activities. There is also credit risk in off-consolidated statement of financial position financial instruments, such as loan commitments. Credit risk management and control is centralised in the credit risk management team, which reports regularly to management and the Board.

The Group structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in relation to one borrower, or groups of borrowers, and to industry segments. Such risks are monitored on a revolving basis and subject to annual or more frequent review.

Exposure to credit risk is managed through regular analysis of the ability of borrowers and potential borrowers to meet interest and capital repayment obligations and by changing lending limits where appropriate. Exposure to credit risk is also managed in part by obtaining collateral and corporate and personal guarantees, but a portion is personal lending where no such facilities can be obtained.

Credit related commitments: The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that funds are available to a customer as required. Guarantees and standby letters of credit represent irrevocable assurances that the Group will make payments in the event that a customer cannot meet its obligations to third parties. The Group’s policy is to hold cash cover for most of the commitments and hence the credit risk arising from such commitments is less than for direct borrowing. Documentary and commercial letters of credit, which are written undertakings by the Group on behalf of a customer authorising a third party to draw drafts on the Group up to a stipulated amount under specific terms and conditions, are collateralised by the underlying shipments of goods to which they relate and therefore carry less risk than for direct borrowing. dfcu Limited 127 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

Commitments to extend credit represent unused portions of authorisations to extend credit in the form of loans, guarantees or letters of credit. The Group makes such commitments at market rates. With respect to credit risk on commitments to extend credit, the Group is potentially exposed to loss in an amount equal to the total unused commitments. However, the likely amount of loss is less than the total unused commitments, as most commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards. The Group monitors the term to maturity of credit commitments because longer-term commitments generally have a greater degree of credit risk than shorter-term commitments.

The above represents the worst case scenario of the Group’s credit risk exposure at year end, without taking account collateral held or other credit enhancements attached. For on-consolidated statement of financial position assets, the exposures set out above are based on carrying amounts as reported in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Loans and advances to major corporate borrowers and to individuals borrowing more than Shs 30 million are secured by collateral in the form of charges over land and buildings and / or plant and machinery or corporate guarantees.

Management is confident in its ability to continue to control and sustain minimal exposure of credit risk to the Group resulting from both its loan and advances portfolio and debt securities based on the following: • The Group exercises stringent controls over the granting of new loans; • 85% of the loans and advances portfolio are neither past due nor impaired; • 96% of the loans and advances portfolio are backed by collateral; and • 99% of investments in debt securities are government securities and only 1% in a high quality corporate bond. 128 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

No other assets are either past due or impaired.

Loans and advances neither past due nor impaired The credit quality of loans and advances that were neither past due nor impaired can be analysed by reference to the internal rating system adopted by the Group:

Loans and advances individually impaired The general credit worthiness of a customer tends to be the most relevant indicator of credit quality of a loan extended to it. However, collateral provides additional security and the Group generally requests that borrowers provide it. The Group may take collateral in the form of a first charge over real estate, machinery and equipment, automobiles and other liens and guarantees.

Because of the Group’s focus on customers’ credit worthiness, the Group does not routinely update the valuation of collateral held against all loans to customers. Valuation of collateral is updated when the credit risk of a loan deteriorates significantly and the loan is monitored more closely. For impaired loans, the Group obtains appraisals of collateral because the current value of the collateral is an input to the impairment measurement. dfcu Limited 129 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

Below is a summary of the impaired loans with the respective value of security;

2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 Shs M Shs M Shs M Shs M Shs M

Loans and advances 58,956 73,119 48,035 25,450 29,508 Fair value of collateral 41,212 101,700 64,723 28,618 45,432

The fair value of the collaterals were determined using either the market approach or the depreciated replacement cost method. The valuations have been performed by valuers and are based on proprietary databases of prices of transactions for collateral or properties of similar nature, location and condition.

For the financial year 2016, though the fair value of the collateral is less than the loans and advances, the credit risk has been managed through the thorough credit worthiness analyses of the bank’s loans and advances to ensure that creditors are in position to pay through the cash flow generated in the day to day activities of their trade.

Concentration of credit risk Economic sector credit risk concentrations within the customer loans and advances portfolio were as follows:

3C Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities as they fall due and to replace funds when they are withdrawn.

The Group is exposed to daily calls on its available cash resources from overnight deposits, current accounts, maturing deposits, and calls on cash settled contingencies. The Group does not maintain cash resources to meet all of these needs as experience shows that a minimum level of reinvestment of maturing funds can be predicted with a high level of certainty. The Board sets limits on the minimum proportion of maturing funds available to meet such calls and on the minimum level of inter-bank and other borrowing facilities that should be in place to cover withdrawals at unexpected levels of demand.

The Group’s objective to managing liquidity is to ensure that there will always be sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities and other obligations when they fall due under both normal and stressed conditions in line with the Group’s Assets and Liabilities Management (ALM) policies without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

ALM policies are approved by the Group’s Assets and Liabilities Board Committee (ALCO) and the Board of Directors. The purpose of ALCO is to stipulate and monitor the business philosophy of the Group as to the cost, structure and mix of assets and liabilities to maximise profitability within acceptable set risk limits.

3D Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, which include currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument. Market risk arises from open positions in interest rates and foreign currencies, both of which are exposed to general and specific market movements and changes in the level of volatility. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while optimizing the return on risk. Overall responsibility for managing market risks rests with the ALCO. The Treasury Department is responsible for the detailed risk management policies (subject to review and approval by ALCO) and for the day to day implementation of those policies.

The Group takes on exposure to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows. The Board sets limits on the level of exposure by currency and in total for both overnight and intra-day positions, counter party limits and stop loss limits, which are monitored daily by treasury with senior management oversight. The Group’s ALCO reviews on a monthly basis the net foreign exchange position of the Group.

The Group’s profit before income tax and equity would decrease/ increase by the following were the US$ foreign exchange rate to change by the percentages below. This variation in profitability is measured by reference to foreign currency exposures existing at year end.

Interest rate risk The Group takes on exposure to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on both its fair value and cash flow risks. Interest margins may increase as a result of such changes but may reduce or create losses in the event that unexpected movements arise. The Board of Directors sets limits on the level of mismatch of interest rate re-pricing that may be undertaken, which is monitored monthly.

The Group faces fair value interest rate risk on its fixed interest financial assets that are measured at fair value. In addition, the Group faces cash flow interest rate risk on its variable rate financial instruments measured at amortised cost. Financial instruments with fair value interest rate risk comprise solely the held- for-trading portfolio of Government securities. Financial instruments with cash flow interest rate risk comprise deposits and balances due from other banks, loans and advances receivable/payable, customer deposits and amounts due to other group companies. dfcu Limited 143 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

The table below summarises the Group’s fair value and cash flow interest rate risks at 31 December 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 assuming a market interest rate decrease of 3% from the rates ruling at year-end. The variance has increased to 3% in the current year due to increased volatility of the rates in the period. This would have an impact on the profit before income tax of the Group as follows:

3E Fair values of financial assets and liabilities As at 31 December 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Group had treasury bills and treasury bonds that are held-for-trading and are measured at fair value. Held-for-trading treasury bills fair values are derived from quoted market prices and held-for-trading treasury bonds fair values are derived from discounting expected future cash flows. The discounting rates used for the valuation of treasury bonds are derived from observable market data.

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: • Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly from the market. The sources of input parameters like government treasury bills yield curve or counterparty credit risk are the Group of Uganda website, Reuters and comparison with similar financial institutions. • Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

The following are the financial assets measured at fair value: Hierarchy 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 Shs M Shs M Shs M Shs M Shs M Level 2-Treasury bills and bonds held-for- trading 102,214 72,441 57,994 16,144 22,535

During the year ended 31 December 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 there were no transfers into or out of Level 2 fair value measurements.

The fair values of the Group’s other financial assets and liabilities that are measured at amortised cost approximate the respective carrying amounts, due to the generally short periods to contractual re-pricing or maturity dates. 150 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

3F Capital management The Group’s objectives when managing capital, which is a broader concept than the ‘equity’ on the consolidated statement of financial positions, are: • To comply with the capital requirements set by Bank of Uganda; • To safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and • To maintain a strong capital base to support the development of its business.

Capital adequacy and use of regulatory capital are monitored regularly by management employing techniques based on the guidelines developed by the Basel Committee, as adapted and implemented by Bank of Uganda for supervisory purposes under the Financial Institutions Act, 2004 (FIA) as amended by the Financial Institutions (Amendment) Act, 2016. The required information on capital adequacy is filed with Bank of Uganda on a quarterly basis. As of 31 December 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012, Bank of Uganda regulations require each bank to: a). have a minimum paid up capital; b). maintain core capital of not less than 8% of risk weighted assets and off-consolidated statement of financial position items; and c). maintain total capital of not less than 12% of risk weighted assets plus risk weighted off-consolidated statement of financial position items.

The Group’s total regulatory capital is divided into two tiers: • Tier 1 capital (core capital): share capital, share premium, plus retained earnings less goodwill and • Tier 2 capital (supplementary capital): revaluation reserves, general provisions for losses not exceeding 1.25% of risk weighted assets, subordinated debt not exceeding 50% of Tier 1 capital and hybrid capital instruments. Qualifying Tier 2 capital is Limited to 100% of Tier 1 capital.

The risk weighted assets are measured by means of a hierarchy of four risk weights classified according to the nature of – and reflecting an estimate of the credit risk associated with - each asset and counterparty. A similar treatment is adopted for off-consolidated statement of financial position exposure, with some adjustments to reflect the more contingent nature of the potential losses. The table below summarises the composition of regulatory capital and the ratios of the Group: dfcu Limited 151 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experiences, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about the carrying values and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results ultimately may differ from these estimates.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions that could materially 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). Impairment losses on loans and advances The Group reviews its loan portfolios to assess impairment at least on a quarterly basis. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in profit or loss, the Group makes judgements as to whether there is any observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of loans before the decrease can be identified with an individual loan in that portfolio. This evidence may include observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers in a group, or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the group. Management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics and objective evidence of impairment similar to those in the portfolio when scheduling its future cash flows. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience. Refer to note 17 for more information.

(b). Held-to-maturity investments The Group follows the guidance of IAS 39 on classifying non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity as held-to-maturity. This classification requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, the Group evaluates its intention and ability to hold such assets to maturity. If the Group fails to keep these assets to maturity other than for the specific circumstances – for example, selling an insignificant amount close to maturity – it will be required to classify the entire class as available-for-sale. Refer to note 18 for more information.

(c). Income taxes The Group is subject to various government taxes under the Ugandan tax laws. Significant estimates and judgments are required in determining the provision for taxes on certain transactions. For these transactions, the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact profit or loss. Refer to note 13 for more information. dfcu Limited 155 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

(d). Fair value of financial instruments Where the fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated and separate statement of financial position cannot be determined from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including discounted cash flows models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Refer to note 3E for more information.

(e). Going concern The Group’s directors have made an assessment of the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and are satisfied that the Group has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, the directors are not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the consolidated and separate financial statements continue to be prepared on the going concern basis.

5. Segment information For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services, and has two reportable operating as follows: • dfcu Limited, which is the holding company that is listed on the Uganda Stock Exchange. • dfcu Bank Limited; this is the commercial banking segment which provides innovative products and superior service levels catering for customer needs in the areas of savings and investment products, personal and current accounts, personal credit, corporate credit, trade finance, foreign exchange trading, money market transfers, etc. It also consists of a development finance segment which provides medium and long term finance to private sectors in Uganda. The sectors include agro processing, education, health, manufacturing, transport, hospitality industry, tourism and construction.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss which is measured the same as the operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. 156 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

6 Business combinations Following the takeover of Global Trust Bank (“GTB”) by Bank of Uganda (“BoU”), on 25 July 2014, BoU entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with dfcu Bank Limited for the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of specific liabilities of GTB. These assets included cash and balances with BoU, certain loans and advances to customers, all customer deposits and government securities. The following table summarises the amounts identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. 2015 2014 Fair value of consideration transferred Shs M Shs M

Recognised amounts of separately identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed Cash and balances with Bank of Uganda - 8,302 Government securities - 40,044 Loans and advances to customers - 27,3 07 Receivables under managed assets portfolio - 1,487 Customer relationships - 1,939 Fixed deposits - (40,241) Savings accounts - (14,796) Current accounts - (15,770) Written off loan recovery costs - (169) Negative good will - 8,103

The transaction was designed to ensure that the book values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were equal at the date of acquisition hence the nil consideration paid by dfcu Bank. In accordance with IFRS 3: Business combinations, the Bank has recognised a separately identifiable intangible asset in respect of customer relationships details of which are disclosed in Note 20, as well as estimated net receivables under the managed assets portfolio.

Furthermore, the Bank measured net assets acquired at fair value resulting in an excess of the value of assets acquired over liabilities assumed. This excess has been recognised as negative goodwill and recorded within other income in the statement of comprehensive income. The negative goodwill is mainly attributed to receivables under managed assets portfolio and customer relationships which had nil book values at the date of acquisition in addition to loans and advances to customers that were acquired at a discount. 160 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

The acquired business contributed revenues of Shs Nil (2014: Shs 4,802 million) and profit of Shs Nil (2014: Shs 2,573 million), in addition to negative goodwill that was recognised in other income, to the bank for the period from 25 July 2014 to 31 December 2014. The following pro forma summary presents consolidated information of the bank as if the business combination had occurred on 1 January 2014.

2015 2014 Shs M Shs M Revenue - 11,525 Profit - 6,175

These amounts have been calculated after applying the bank’s accounting policies and including necessary adjustments to reflect the additional amortisation that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had been applied from 1 January 2014, together with the consequential tax effects. The bank also incurred Shs Nil (2014: Shs 72 million) of acquisition related costs. These expenses are included in general and administrative expenses in the bank’s statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2015.

Report on the 3 year profit forecast of dfcu Limited for the years ending 31 December 2017, 2018 and 2019

Dear Sirs,

We have examined the accompanying financial projections of dfcu Limited in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements applicable to the examination of prospective financial information. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial projections including the accuracy of the assumptions set out in below on which they are based. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the financial projections based on our review.

Based on our examination of the evidence supporting the assumptions, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that these assumptions do not provide a reasonable basis for the financial projections. Further, in our opinion the financial projections are properly prepared on the basis of the assumptions and are presented in accordance with the accounting policies normally used by dfcu Limited.

Actual results are likely to be different from the financial projections since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected and the variation may be material.

Date: 24 August 2017 dfcu Limited 191 INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

Key assumptions to the Profit forecast for the years ending 31 December 2017, 2018 and 2019

The following are the key assumptions used in the profit forecast for the years ending 31 December 2017, 2018 and 2019 a). The group’s accounting policies as disclosed in the historical financial information are used in preparing the projected financial information. b). Uganda is expected to continue to have stable and predictable macroeconomic conditions supporting business growth. Real GDP growth is expected to be at least 5.7% in 2017, and 6.0% in 2018 and 2019 whereas single-digit inflation rate is expected to be at least 5% in 2017 and 2018, and 6% in 2019. The exchange rates against major currencies are expected to be stable. c). The banking industry deposit growth is expected to be 12%, 13% and 14% in 2017, 2018 and 2019 respectively (2016: 11%) whereas the industry loan growth rate is expected to be 16%, 13% and 19% in 2017, 2018 and 2019 respectively (2016: 6%). d). The central bank rate is expected to average 11.5% over the years 2017-2019 (2016: 14.5%) whereas the government securities are expected to average 15.3%, 13.4% and 13.7% in 2017, 2018 and 2019 respectively (2016: 13.8%) for treasury bills and 15.3%, 14.0%, 14.7% in 2017, 2018 and 2019 respectively (2016: 14.2%) for treasury bonds. e). The bank’s average lending rate for local currency based retail loans and advances will be 25.3% for the years 2017 to 2019 (2016: 27%) whereas foreign currency based will be 13.7% for the years 2017 to 2019 (2016: 14%). f). The bank’s average lending rate for local currency based corporate loans and advances will be 22.3% for the year 2017, and 23% for the years 2018 and 2019 (2016: 24%) whereas foreign currency based will be 10.5%, 11% and 11.6% for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019 respectively (2016: 12%). g). The effective tax rate for 2017, 2018 and 2019 are expected to be 24%, 23% and 23% (2016: 23%). h). It is unlikely that there will be a new entrant into the Ugandan banking sector. Any new player in the market should not pose a significant competitive challenge in the years 2017-2019 because of market penetration and lead time to setting up a competitive bank. i). No new legal, regulatory and/or fiscal requirements are expected to cause significant change in the group’s operations, financial performance and position. j). No material cash out flows are expected from the open litigations. The group should be able to successfully defend the material open litigations for which no provision is made in the historical financial statements. 192 dfcu Limited INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
