Principal risks and uncertainties
The Board of Directors is committed to the effective management of risks that could impact the Company’s ability to achieve its strategic objectives. Recognising the increasing complexity of the Company and the economic and operating environment, during the period management strengthened its risk management oversight, to ensure a more consistent and robust approach to risk identification, assessment and mitigation across a wider range of business risks. Key actions included: • Identifying Principal Risks: Identification and evaluation of the principal strategic, operational, financial and compliance risks facing the group. This process involves an analysis of both internal and external factors and is regularly reviewed by senior management. • Monitoring Risk Exposure: Monitoring the Company's exposure to identified risks and evaluating the effectiveness of existing controls and mitigation measures. Monitoring includes regular consideration of key topics. Discussion of key risks Operational risks. The Company adopts the risk identification and risk management principles, including regulatory and supply risks, set by its parent holding company, IGI Inex Holding (UK) Ltd, which sets risk management policy across the IGI Inex Group. Counterparty risks. The Company adopts the risk identification and risk management principles, including anti-bribery and anti-corruption matters, set by IGI Inex Holding (UK) Ltd, which sets risk management policy across the Group. Financial risks. The Company adopts the risk identification and risk management principles, including credit, liquidity, price and foreign exchange risks, set by IGI Inex Holding (UK) Ltd, which sets risk management policy across the Group. Market risks. Economic conditions remain uncertain. The Company continues to closely monitor this and the impact it will have on business performance, revenues and profitability and will take actions available to align the business cost structure and working capital. Financial risk management The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk, price risk and foreign exchange risk. The Board monitors these risks on an ongoing basis as part of its overall risk management framework. Credit risk arises primarily from trade receivables and amounts due from related parties. The Company manages this risk through regular monitoring of outstanding balances and maintaining close working relationships with counterparties within the Group and key trading partners. Liquidity and cash flow risk are managed through active monitoring of working capital requirements and the preparation of cash flow forecasts. The Company seeks to ensure that sufficient funding is available to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Funding flexibility is supported by related party balances and, where required, shareholder support. Price risk arises from fluctuations in the value of gemstones and related commodities traded by the Company. The Board monitors market conditions closely and seeks to manage exposure through disciplined purchasing and sales strategies. Foreign exchange risk arises on transactions denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional Page 2
IGI INEX TRADING (UK) LTD STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 currency. The Company monitors exchange rate movements and manages exposure where practicable through the timing of settlements and matching of currency inflows and outflows.

Directors' responsibilities statement
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to: ∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently; ∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; ∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; ∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business. The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Future developments
Looking ahead, the Directors expect 2025 to be a year of further expansion and operational integration. The Company plans to continue building on its trading activities, particularly in the commodities and gemstones sectors, while pursuing new strategic contracts with institutional clients and fund partners. The management will also focus on strengthening compliance and governance frameworks to ensure adherence to UK and international regulations, as the scale and complexity of its operations continue to grow. The Directors remain confident that the strategy in place will sustain growth and position the Company for long-term success within its market segment.
Engagement with suppliers, customers and others
When making decisions, the Directors consider what is likely to lead to the success of the company and to be of benefit to the members as a whole over the long term. When making such decisions, the Directors also consider the interests of other key stakeholders and seek to arrive at conclusions which do not adversely impact those groups as a whole. For the purposes of decision making, the Directors have identified key stakeholder groups, evaluated their interests, and responded to them. This demonstrates the board's commitment to maintaining high standards of business conduct and professionalism.
Greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and energy efficiency action
The Company has not disclosed information in respect of greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and energy efficiency action as its energy consumption in the United Kingdom for the year is 40,000kWh or lower.

IGI INEX TRADING (UK) LTD INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF IGI INEX TRADING (UK) LTD
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of IGI Inex Trading (UK) Ltd (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements: ∙give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its profit for the year then ended; ∙have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and ∙have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Page 7
IGI INEX TRADING (UK) LTD INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF IGI INEX TRADING (UK) LTD (CONTINUED)
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The Directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: ∙the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and ∙the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: ∙adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or ∙the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or ∙certain disclosures of Directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or ∙we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Directors
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 5, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Page 8
IGI INEX TRADING (UK) LTD INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF IGI INEX TRADING (UK) LTD (CONTINUED)
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: ∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims; ∙Review of legal and professional fees for evidence of legal work undertaken or fines/penalties incurred. ∙Reviewing of financial statements disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. ∙Performing audit work over the risk of management override, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness; ∙Evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business, and reviewing accounting estimates for bias; ∙Discussions amongst the engagement team in relation to how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud; ∙Discussions with management over any potential or suspected fraud. ∙Performing audit work over the recognition of revenue on deliveries of services occurring at the year end to provide assurance over cut-off; Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's Report. Page 9

| 2.3 | Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making this assessment, the Directors have considered the Company’s financial position, including significant liabilities which are contractually repayable on demand, and the expected timing of cash inflows from trade and related party receivables. The Directors have obtained written confirmation from a principal counterparty, representing a significant proportion of these balances, that it does not intend to call upon the outstanding amounts in the short term and will allow settlement in line with the Company’s expected cash inflows. The Directors have also considered the recoverability of amounts due from related parties, including expected settlement through a combination of cash and non-cash arrangements, and the timing of such receipts. In addition, the Company has access to financial support from its Ultimate Beneficial Owner, Werner Schmidt, to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Directors have also considered post balance sheet events, including the partial settlement of liabilities and developments in relation to funding arrangements, which further support the Company’s liquidity position. Based on the above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due and therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis
| 2.4 | Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency The Company's functional and presentational currency is USD. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

| 2.5 | Turnover
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before turnover is recognised: Sale of goods Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied: ∙the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer; ∙the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; ∙the amount of turnover can be measured reliably; ∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and ∙the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
| 2.6 | Taxation
Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
| 2.7 | Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads. At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
| 2.8 | Debtors
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
| 2.9 | Creditors
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Page 16
IGI INEX TRADING (UK) LTD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.10 | Financial instruments
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Balance Sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, 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 to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Basic financial assets Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments. Impairment of financial assets At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate. If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss. Basic financial liabilities Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities. Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted Page 17

| 2.10 | Financial instruments (continued)
where the effect of discounting is immaterial. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. Derecognition of financial instruments Derecognition of financial assets Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained. Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. Page 18

3. | Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. Key judgements Revenue recognitio n The Company recognises revenue from the sale of gemstones when control and the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer. Judgement is applied in determining the point at which these criteria are met, particularly in relation to contractual terms and delivery conditions. Recoverability of related party receivables The Company has significant balances due from related parties amounting to $238,843,000 at the year end. Judgement is applied in assessing the recoverability of these balances, including consideration of the financial position of the counterparties and their ability to settle amounts due. The Directors consider that the carrying value of these balances is appropriate based on the information available at the reporting date. Key sources of estimation uncertainty The Directors do not consider there to be any significant sources of estimation uncertainty that would result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year
