NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting principles
The Company's accounting policies and accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements present the condensed consolidated accounts of FRHC and its consolidated subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.
Consolidation of variable interest entities

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the Company's financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from those estimates .
Revenue and expense recognition
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 606"), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services promised to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. A significant portion of the Company's revenue-generating transactions are not subject to ASC Topic 606, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such as loans and investment securities, as these activities are subject to other U.S. GAAP guidance discussed elsewhere within these disclosures. Descriptions of the Company's revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC Topic 606, which are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income as components of total revenue, net are as follows:
• Commissions on brokerage services;
• Commissions on banking services (money transfers, foreign exchange operations and other); and
• Commissions on investment banking services (underwriting, market making, and bondholders' representation services).
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the core principle by applying the following steps:
• Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer - A contract is an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations.
13
Table of Contents
FREEDOM HOLDING CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, except share data, unless otherwise stated)
• Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract - A contract includes promises to transfer goods or services to a customer. If those goods or services are distinct, the promises are performance obligations and are accounted for separately.
• Step 3: Determine the transaction price - The transaction price is the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The transaction price can be a fixed amount of customer consideration, but it may sometimes include variable consideration or consideration in a form other than cash. The transaction price also is adjusted for the effects of the time value of money if the contract includes a significant financing component and for any consideration payable to the customer. If the consideration is variable, an entity estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the promised goods or services. The estimated amount of variable consideration will be included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
• Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract - An entity typically allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service promised in the contract. If a standalone selling price is not observable, an entity estimates it. Sometimes, the transaction price includes a discount or a variable amount of consideration that relates entirely to a part of the contract.
• Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation - An entity recognizes revenue when (or as) it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer (which is when the customer obtains control of that good or service). The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time (typically for promises to transfer goods to a customer) or over time (typically for promises to transfer services to a customer). For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity recognizes revenue over time by selecting an appropriate method for measuring the entity's progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation.

Interest income

Interest income on loans issued, trading securities, available-for-sale securities and reverse repurchase agreement obligations is recognized based on the contractual provisions of the underlying arrangements.

Loan premiums and discounts are deferred and generally amortized into interest income as yield adjustments over the contractual life and/or commitment period using the effective interest method.

Unamortized premiums, discounts and other basis adjustments on trading securities are generally recognized in interest income over the contractual lives of the securities using the effective interest method.

Loans

The Company's loan portfolio is divided into the following portfolio segments: mortgages, uncollateralized bank customer loans, collateralized bank customer loans, car loans and subordinated loans. Mortgage loans consist of loans provided to individuals to purchase real estate, which is used as collateral for the loan. Uncollateralized bank customer loans consist of loans provided through credit cards to individuals and businesses, and retail unsecured banking loans provided to individuals. Collateralized bank customer loans consist of retail collateralized loans provided to individuals. Subordinated loans consist of uncollateralized loans provided to the legal entities to support their businesses, that ranks below other, more senior loans or securities with respect to claims on assets or earnings.

Loans Acquired

All purchased loans are initially recorded at fair value, which includes consideration of expected future losses, at the date of the loan acquisition. To determine the fair value of loans at the date of acquisition, the Company estimates the discounted contractual cash flows due using an observable market rate of interest, adjusted for factors such as probable default rates of the borrowers, and the loan terms that a market participant would consider in determining fair value. In determining fair value, contractual cash flows are adjusted to include prepayment estimates based upon historical payment trends, forecasted default rates and loss severities and other relevant factors. The difference between the fair value and the
14
Table of Contents
FREEDOM HOLDING CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, except share data, unless otherwise stated)
contractual cash flows is recorded as a loan premium or discount, which may relate to either credit or non-credit factors, at acquisition.

The Company accounts for purchased loans under the accounting guidance for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration when, at the time of purchase, the loans have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination.

The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses on purchased loans that have not experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination at the time of purchase through earnings in a manner that is consistent with originated loans. The policies relating to the allowance for credit losses on loans is described below in the "Estimate of Incurred Loan Losses" section of this Note.

Estimate of Incurred Loan Losses

The allowance represents management's current estimate of incurred loan losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio as of each balance sheet date. The provision for credit losses reflects credit losses the Company believes have been incurred and will eventually be recognized over time through charge-offs.

Management performed a quarterly analysis of the Company's loan portfolio to determine if impairment had occurred and to assess the adequacy of the allowance based on historical and current trends as well as other factors affecting credit losses. The Company applied separate calculations of the allowances for its credit cards, mortgages and retail loan portfolios. Based on the adopted methodology, the Company estimated the probability of default based on historical default rates, adjusted for certain macro indicators, such as GDP, average exchange rates, unemployment rate, real wage index, inflation rate and retail trade index. Loss given default is calculated based on the collateral coverage of the loans. The Company's allowance for loan losses consists of two components that are allocated to cover the estimated probable losses in each loan portfolio based on the results of the Company's detailed review and loan impairment assessment process a component for loans collectively evaluated for impairment.
Derivative financial instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company invests in various derivative financial contracts including futures. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at each reporting date. The fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices or pricing models that take into account the current market and contractual prices of the underlying instruments and other factors. Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when it is negative.
Functional currency
Management has adopted ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters as it pertains to its foreign currency translation. The Company's functional currencies are the Kazakhstan tenge, Russian ruble, euro, U.S. dollar, Ukrainian hryvnia, Uzbekistani sum, Kyrgyzstani som, Azerbaijani manat, British pound sterling, Armenian dram, United Arab Emirates dirham and Turkish lira, and its reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. For financial reporting purposes, foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars as the reporting currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average quarterly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of shareholders' equity as "Accumulated other comprehensive loss".
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are generally comprised of certain highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents include those reverse repurchase agreements, where maturity is less than 90 days, and the credit risk of the counterparty is low, which are recorded at the amounts at which the securities were acquired plus accrued interest.

(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, except share data, unless otherwise stated)
Securities reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements
A reverse repurchase agreement is a transaction in which the Company purchases financial instruments from a seller, typically in exchange for cash, and simultaneously enters into an agreement to resell the same or substantially the same financial instruments to the seller for an amount equal to the cash or other consideration exchanged plus interest at a future date. Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the contractual amount for which the securities will be resold, including accrued interest. Financial instruments purchased under reverse repurchase agreements are recorded in the financial statements as cash placed on deposit collateralized by securities and classified as cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which the Company sells financial instruments to another party, typically in exchange for cash, and simultaneously enters into an agreement to reacquire the same or substantially the same financial instruments from the buyer for an amount equal to the cash or other consideration exchanged plus interest at a future date. These agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions. The Company retains the financial instruments sold under repurchase agreements and classifies them as trading securities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The consideration received under repurchase agreements is classified as securities repurchase agreement obligations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company enters into reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions to, among other things, acquire securities to leverage and grow its proprietary trading portfolio, cover short positions and settle other securities obligations, to accommodate customers' needs and to finance its inventory positions. The Company enters into these transactions in accordance with normal market practice. Under standard terms for repurchase transactions, the recipient of collateral has the right to sell or repledge the collateral, subject to returning equivalent securities on settlement of the transaction.
Available-for-sale securities
Financial assets categorized as available-for-sale ("AFS") are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or not classified as (a) loans and receivables, (b) held to maturity investments or (c) trading securities.
Listed shares and listed redeemable notes held by the Company that are traded in an active market are classified as AFS and are stated at fair value. The Company has investments in unlisted shares that are not traded in an active market but that are also classified as investments AFS and stated at fair value (because the Company management considers that fair value can be reliably measured). Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss, with the exception of other-than-temporary impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method, dividend income and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income. When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the accumulated other comprehensive (loss)/income is then reclassified to net realized gain/(loss) on investments available-for-sale in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income.
Trading securities
Financial assets are classified as trading securities if the financial asset has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term.
Trading securities are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in revenue. Changes in fair value are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income and included in net gain on trading securities. Interest earned and dividend income are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income and included in interest income, according to the terms of the contract and when the right to receive the payment has been established.

FREEDOM HOLDING CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, except share data, unless otherwise stated)
Investments in nonconsolidated managed funds are accounted for at fair value based on the net asset value of the funds provided by the fund managers with gains or losses included in net gain on trading securities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income.
Margin lending
The Company engages in securities financing transactions with and for clients through margin lending. Under these agreements, the Company is permitted to sell or repledge securities received as collateral and use these securities to secure securities acquired under resale agreements, enter into securities lending transactions or deliver these securities to counterparties to cover short positions.
Debt securities issued
Debt securities issued are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received, less directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently, amounts due are stated at amortized cost and any difference between net proceeds and the redemption value is recognized over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. If the Company purchases its own debt it is removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the consideration paid is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income.
Brokerage and other receivables
Brokerage and other receivables comprise commissions and receivables related to the securities brokerage and banking activity of the Company. At initial recognition, brokerage and other receivables are recognized at fair value. Subsequently, brokerage and other receivables are carried at cost net of any allowance for impairment losses.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or a part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized where all of the following conditions are met:
• The transferred financial assets have been isolated from the Company - put presumptively beyond the reach of the Company and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership.
• The transferee has rights to pledge or exchange financial assets.
• The Company or its agents do not maintain effective control over the transferred financial assets or third-party beneficial interests related to those transferred assets.
Where the Company has not met the asset derecognition conditions above, it continues to recognize the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with the accounting guidance for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the fair value from such asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized write-off expenses of the client base that was recognized with the acquisition of Zerich in the amount of $ 3,125 due to economic uncertainty during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter stemming from the Russia/Ukraine Conflict. As of September 30, 2022, there were no write-offs performed.

Impairment of goodwill
As of September 30, 2022, and March 31, 2022, goodwill recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $ 9,512 and $ 5,898 , respectively. The Company performs an impairment review at least annually unless indicators of impairment exist in interim periods. The entity compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The goodwill impairment charge recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. If fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no impairment is recorded. In its annual goodwill impairment test, the Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit based on the income approach (also known as the discounted cash flow method) and determined the fair value of the Company’s goodwill previously recognized for Freedom Bank RU, Freedom UA and Zerich is below of the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill. The Company recognized impairment loss for the goodwill in the amount of $ 2,300 as of March 31, 2022, and presented goodwill, net of impairment loss in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The goodwill value as of September 30, 2022, increased compared to March 31, 2022, due to acquisition of London Almaty and Ticketon and as a result of foreign exchange currency translation.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill as of March 31, 2022, and for the 6 months ended September 30, 2022, were as follows:

Asset and Liabilities Held for Sale

The Company classifies assets and liabilities (the "disposal group") as held for sale in the period when all of the relevant criteria to be classified as held for sale are met. Criteria include management commitment to sell the disposal group in its present condition and the sale being deemed probable of being completed within one year. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. Any loss resulting from the measurement is recognized in the period the held for sale criteria are met. The Company assesses the fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and reports any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the initial carrying value of the disposal group. Assets held for sale are not amortized or depreciated. The Company recorded a provision for impairment of discontinued operations of $ 41,464 in the three months ended September 30, 2022.

A disposal group that represents a strategic shift to the Company or is acquired with the intention to sell is reflected as a discontinued operation on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation and Statement of Other Comprehensive Income and prior periods are recast to reflect the earnings or losses as income from discontinued operations. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes reflect the securities brokerage and complementary banking operations in Russia as a discontinued operation in second quarter of 2023 fiscal year as the Company has entered into an agreement to divest these operations. The divestment transaction is subject to the approval of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and and is expected to be completed within the next fiscal quarter.

See Note 25 Assets and Liabilities held for sale , for more information on assets held for sale and discontinued operations.

reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Current income tax expenses are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future years based on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable for the differences that are expected to affect taxable income.
The Company will include interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the provision for income taxes (if anticipated). As of September 30, 2022, and March 31, 2022, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets. The Company has presented the deferred tax impacts of GILTI tax in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2022, and March 31, 2022, and in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021.
Financial instruments
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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value is the current bid price for financial assets, current ask price for financial liabilities and the average of current bid and ask prices when the Company is both in short and long positions for the financial instrument. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange or other institution and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.
Leases
The Company follows ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which requires leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet.
Operating lease assets and corresponding lease liabilities were recognized on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 23 Leases , to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure and significant accounting policies affecting leases.
Fixed assets
Fixed assets are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range between three and sixty-five years .
Insurance contract assets and liabilities
Insurance and reinsurance receivable
Insurance and reinsurance receivable is recognized when related income is earned and measured on initial recognition at the fair value of the consideration receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, any insurance and reinsurance receivable is measured at cost net of any allowance for impairment losses.

Insurance and reinsurance payable

Table of Contents
FREEDOM HOLDING CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, except share data, unless otherwise stated)

Payables on insurance business comprise advances received, amounts payable to insured (claims and premium refund payable) and amounts payable to agents and brokers, and advances received from insurers and reinsurers.

Payables on reinsurance business comprise net amounts payable to reinsurers. Amounts payable to reinsurers include ceded reinsurance premiums, assumed premium refunds and claims on assumed reinsurance. Insurance and reinsurance payable are accounted for at amortized cost.

Unearned premium reserve and claims

Unearned premium is determined by the method of proportion for each contract, as the product of the insurance premium under the contract for the ratio of the expiration of the insurance cover (in days) to the balance sheet date (in days) from the date of recognition of the insurance premium in accounting as income until the end of the insurance coverage. The reinsurer's share in the unearned premium reserve is calculated separately for each insurance (reinsurance) contract and is determined as the ratio of the insurance premium under the reinsurance contract to the insurance premium under the insurance contract multiplied by the unearned premium reserve.

Results of insurance activity includes net written insurance premiums reduced by the net change in the unearned premium reserve, commissions recognized from assumed insurance and reinsurance contracts, claims paid net and net change in the loss reserves.

Net written insurance premiums represent gross written premiums less premiums ceded to reinsurers. Upon inception of a contract (except for classes of life and annuity insurance), premiums are recorded as written and are earned on a pro rata basis over the term of the related contract coverage. The unearned premium reserve represents the portion of the premiums written relating to the unexpired terms of coverage and is included in the accompanying statement of Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Unearned premium reserve relates to non-life insurance products and, non-annuity insurance products.

Claims are expensed to th e Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income as incurred.

Loss reserves

Non-life and annuity insurance

Loss reserves are a summary of estimates of ultimate losses, and include both claims reported but not settled (RBNS) and claims incurred but not reported (IBNR). RBNS is created for existing reported claims not settled at the reporting date. Estimates are made on the basis of information received by the Company during its investigation of insured events. IBNR is estimated by the Company based on its previous history of reported/settled claims using actuarial methods of calculation, which include claim development triangles.

Reinsurance assets in IBNR are estimated applying the same actuarial method used in IBNR estimation.

Life insurance

Not incurred claims reserves (NIC) on life insurance contracts equal the NIC amount for all life insurance contracts valid as at the reporting date. NIC reserve on a separate contract of life insurance, except for the insurance contract with policyholder's participation in investments, is equal to the maximum value of the net level premium reserve and gross-premium reserve. Net level premium reserve is the present value of future benefits (excluding survival benefits) less present value of future net premiums. Gross-premium reserve is present value of benefits, expenses of the Company that are directly related to consideration, settlement, and determination of the benefit amount, operating expenses of the
Company related to conducting of the business, less present value of future gross-premiums.

Annuity insurance

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, except share data, unless otherwise stated)
NIC reserve on annuity contracts is the sum of the present value of future benefits, the claims for annuity insurance and administrative expenses on annuity insurance contracts maintenance, less the present value of insurance contributions (in case of lump sum - insurance premium), which the Company is due to receive after the settlement date.
The reserves are either based on current assumptions or calculated using the assumptions established at the time the contract was issued, in which case a margin for risk and adverse deviation is generally included.
Segment information
Historically, the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is its chief executive officer, viewed the Company as a single operating segment offering financial services to its customers in a single geographic region covering Eurasia . During the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the CODM restructured the Company's operations into five geographical regions ("segments"). These regions include Central Asia, Europe, the U.S., Russia and Middle East/Causcasus.
In order to determine appropriate segment disclosure as stated in ASC 280-10-55-26 the Company followed the steps outlined below:

• identified operating segments using the management approach;
• determined whether two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment;
• applied the quantitative thresholds and other criteria to determine reportable segments;
• considered what information should be disclosed for each reportable segment; and
• considered what information should be disclosed on an entity-wide basis.
Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", which introduced an expected credit loss methodology for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. That methodology replaces the probable, incurred loss model for those assets. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)". The Board developed a philosophy to extend and simplify how effective dates are staggered between larger public companies (bucket one) and all other entities (bucket two). Those other entities include private companies, smaller public companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans. Under this philosophy, a major update would first be effective for bucket-one entities, that is, public business entities that are SEC filers, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies (SRCs) under the SEC's definition. The Master Glossary of the Codification defines public business entities and SEC filers. All other entities, including SRCs, other public business entities, and nonpublic business entities (private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans) would compose bucket two. For those entities, it is anticipated that the Board will consider requiring an effective date staggered at least two years after bucket one for major updates. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-13 and 2017-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No 2021-06 "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Financial Services — Depository and Lending (Topic 942), and Financial Services — Investment Companies (Topic 946)" which amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SEC Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses. SEC issued Final Rulemaking Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses, which modified the disclosure and presentation requirements concerning acquisitions and disposals of businesses. Primarily, the new rules amended (1) Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X, Definition of Terms Used in Regulation S-X, Significant Subsidiary, (2) Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X, Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired or to Be Acquired, (3) Rule 8-05 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Financial Information (which covers smaller reporting companies), and (4) Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Financial Information. In addition, new Rule 6-11 of Regulation S-X, Financial Statements of Funds Acquired or to Be Acquired, covering acquisitions specific to investment companies, was added. Corresponding changes were made to other Regulation S-X rules, various Securities Act and Securities Exchange Act rules, and Forms 8-K and 10-K. Compliance with the amended rules is required from the beginning of a registrant's fiscal year commencing after December 31, 2020 (i.e., the mandatory compliance date). Acquisitions and dispositions that are probable or consummated after the mandatory compliance date are required to be evaluated for significance pursuant to the amended rules. Early compliance is permitted, provided that all the amended rules are applied in their entirety from the early compliance date. ASU No. 2021-06 amends

SEC material in the Codification to give effect to Release No. 33-10786. The new rules apply to fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2021 (i.e., calendar-year 2021). Early voluntary compliance is allowed. Note that the rescission of Industry Guide 3 is effective on January 1, 2023. ASU No. 2021-06 amends SEC material in the Codification to give effect to Release No. 33-10835. The Company does not expect that the ASU 2021-06 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In October 2021, the SEC issued the amendment of Compensation-Stock Compensation No. 2021-07, Determining the Current Price of an Underlying Share for Equity-Classified Share-Based Awards a consensus of the Private Company Council. The main amendments were concentrated in add paragraphs 718-10-30-20C through 30-20H and their related heading, with a link to transition paragraph 718-10-65-16, in which as a practical expedient, a nonpublic company may use a value determined by the reasonable application of a reasonable valuation method as the current price of its underlying share for purposes of determining the fair value of an award that is classified as equity in accordance with paragraphs 718-10-25-6 through 25-18 at grant date or upon a modification. Moreover, in the topic was amended paragraph 718-10-50-2(f), with a link to transition paragraph 718-10-65-16, which states that listed requirements indicates the minimum information needed to achieve the objectives in paragraph 718-10-50-1 and illustrates how the disclosure requirements might be satisfied. In some circumstances, an entity may need to disclose information beyond the following to achieve the disclosure objectives. Firstly, a description of the method used during the year to estimate the fair value (or calculated value) of awards under share-based payment arrangements. Secondly, a description of the significant assumptions used during the year to estimate the fair value (or calculated value) of share-based compensation awards, including: i. Expected term of share options and similar instruments, including a discussion of the method used to incorporate the contractual term of the instruments and grantees' expected exercise and post vesting termination behavior into the fair value of the instrument. ii. Expected volatility of the entity's shares and the method used to estimate it. An entity that uses a method that employs different volatilities during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected volatilities used and the weighted-average expected volatility. iii. Expected dividends. iv. Risk-free rate(s). v. Discount for post vesting restrictions and the method for estimating it. vi. Practical expedient for current price input. The topic also contains added paragraph 718-10-65-16, that illustrates the transition and effective date information related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-07 by the listed requirement: a. The pending content that links to this paragraph shall be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. b. An entity shall apply the pending content that links to this paragraph prospectively. Early application, including application in an interim period, is permitted for financial statements that have not been issued or made available for issuance as of October 25, 2021. The amendments in this Update apply to all nonpublic entities that issue equity-classified share-based awards and elect the practical expedient in this Update. Thus, ASU 2021-06 will not impact consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In October 2021, the SEC issued the amendment of Business Combinations (Topic 805), No. 2021-08, which related to Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The main amendments were concentrated in paragraphs 805-20-25-16 through 25-17 and add paragraph 805-20-25-28C and its related heading, with a link to transition paragraph 805-20-65-3, where the topic provides limited exceptions to the recognition and measurement principles applicable to business combinations. Moreover, the topic amends paragraphs 805-20-30-10 through 30-12 and add paragraphs 805-20-30-27 through 30-30 and their related heading, with a link to transition paragraph 805-20-65-3. Paragraph 805-20-25-16 notes that the Business Combinations Topic provides limited exceptions to the recognition and measurement principles applicable to business combinations. In the topic has been added paragraph 805-20-65-3, in which the following represents the transition and effective date information related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers: a. For public business entities, this paragraph shall be effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2021-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-01, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging-Portfolio Layer Method", which introduces the amendments, which targeted on improvements to the optional hedge accounting model with the objective of improving hedge accounting to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. The amendments in this Update apply to the Company that elect to apply the portfolio layer method of hedge accounting in accordance with Table of Contents Topic 815. For a closed portfolio of prepayable financial assets or one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of prepayable financial instruments, the last-of-layer method allows an entity to hedge a stated amount of the asset or assets in the closed portfolio that is anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedge period. If the requirements for the last-of-layer method are met, prepayment risk is not incorporated into the measurement of the hedged item. Accordingly, ASU 2022-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. ASU 2022-01 will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-02, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures", which introduces the amendments on solving two issues of creditors related to troubled debt restructurings and gross write-offs of vintage debt disclosures. The amendments in Update 2016-13 require that an entity measure and record the lifetime expected credit losses on an asset that is within the scope of the Update upon origination or acquisition, and, as a result, credit losses from loans modified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) have been incorporated into the allowance for credit losses. Investors and preparers observed that the additional designation of a loan modification as a TDR and the related accounting are unnecessarily complex and no longer provide decision-useful information.

Moreover, Investors and other financial statement users observed that disclosing gross write-offs by year of origination provides important information that allows them to better understand changes in the credit quality of an entity's loan portfolio and underwriting performance. Accordingly, ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2022-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2022, FASB Issued Accounting Standard Updated No. 2022-03 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The FASB has issued this standard to (1) clarify the guidance in Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this Update affect all entities that have investments in equity securities measured at fair value that are subject to a contractual sale restriction. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2022-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-04 “Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations” to enhance the transparency of supplier finance programs. This requires all entities, which apply those programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services (buyer party), to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about the use of the finance programs to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude.
Accordingly, ASU 2022-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2022-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 3 – RECAST
When preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, management determined that certain amounts included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022, required revision due to the closing of the acquisition of Freedom Life and Freedom Insurance in May 2022, which were deemed to be entities under common control with the Company since 2018. On May 17, 2022, the Company acquired two insurance companies in Kazakhstan, a life insurance company, Freedom Life, and a direct insurance carrier, excluding life, health and medical, Freedom Insurance. Prior to acquiring these companies, each was wholly owned by the Company's controlling shareholder, chairman and chief executive officer, Timur Turlov, who had previously acquired the two entities from a non-related party. Freedom Life and Freedom Insurance were deemed to be under common control with the Company since February 28, 2018, and August 22, 2018, respectively, the dates, when two insurance companies were acquired by Timur Turlov.
The Company acquired these companies from Mr. Turlov on May 17, 2022 at the historical cost paid by him plus amounts he has contributed as additional paid in capital since his purchase. The Company acquired the Freedom Life and Freedom Insurance to expand its presence in insurance segment. The purchase price for 100 % of the outstanding shares of Freedom Insurance was $ 13,977 and the purchase price for 100 % of the outstanding shares of Freedom Life was $ 12,611 . The Company is required to make these payments to Timur Turlov by no later than December 31, 2022.

As required by ASC 805 Business Combinations, acquisitions with parties under common control are required to have all previously presented periods recast to the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the financial results of Freedom Life and Freedom Insurance have been consolidated in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, and in the corresponding periods of 2021 for comparative purposes, as if they had been acquired prior to such periods.

In addition, because the assets and liabilities to be disposed of in connection with the planned sale of Freedom RU and Freedom Bank RU met the held for sale criteria as of September 30, 2022, such subsidiaries are presented as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205 and 360 in the the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and in the corresponding periods of 2021 for comparative purposes. For additional information see Note 25 Assets and Liabilities held for sale to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The previously issued Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022, and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, have been revised as follows:

NOTE 4 – RESTATEMENT

During the course of the Company's preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, it was determined that there was an error in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended September 30, 2021 related to the classification of loans issued and bank customer accounts within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Specifically, the Company identified that activities related to certain loans had been classified within "Cash flows from operating activities" and should have been classified within "Cash flows from investing activities". In addition, the Company identified that activities related to bank customer accounts had been classified within "Cash flows from operating activities" and should have been classified within "Cash flows from financing activities". The Company has evaluated the effect of the incorrect classification and concluded that restatement was necessary. The Company determined that the restatement did not have any impact on the Company’s operating performance or any per-share amounts.
The following table summarizes the impact of these correction of errors for the period presented:

The Company recognized no other-than-temporary impairment in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The fair value of securities is determined using observable market data based on recent trading activity. Where observable market data is unavailable due to a lack of trading activity, the Company utilizes internally developed models to estimate fair value and independent third parties to validate assumptions, when appropriate. Estimating fair value requires significant management judgment, including benchmarking to similar instruments with observable market data and applying appropriate discounts that reflect differences between the securities that the Company is valuing and the selected benchmark. Depending on the type of securities owned by the Company, other valuation methodologies may be required.
Measurement of fair value is classified within a hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability. Classification within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The valuation hierarchy contains three levels:
• Level 1 - Valuation inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
• Level 2 - Valuation inputs are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other observable inputs directly or indirectly related to the asset or liability being measured.
• Level 3 - Valuation inputs are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Freedom Bank KZ provides mortgage loans to borrowers on behalf of the JSC Kazakhstan Sustainability Fund ("Program Operator") related to the state mortgage program "7-20-25" and transfers the rights of claim on the loans to the Program Operator. Under this program, borrowers can receive a mortgage at an interest rate of 7 %, for 20 years. In accordance with the program and trust management agreement, Freedom Bank KZ carries out trust management of transferred mortgage loans, and transfers all repayments of principal amounts of mortgages plus 3 % of the 7 % interest to the Program Operator. The remaining 4 % of the 7 % interest is retained by Freedom Bank KZ as margin. Under the program and trust management agreement, Freedom Bank KZ is required to repurchase the rights of claims on transferred mortgage loans, when the loan principal amount and interest payments are overdue 90 days or more. The repurchase of delinquent loans is performed at the loan nominal value.

Since the Freedom Bank KZ sells those loans with recourse for uncollectible amounts, retains part of interest from those loans, and agrees to service those loans after the sale, Freedom Bank KZ has determined that it retains control over the mortgage loans transferred and continues recognizing the loans. As Freedom Bank KZ continues to recognize the loans, it also recognizes the associated liability in the amount of $ 150,340 as of September 30, 2022, which is included within other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2022 the corresponding liability amounted to $ 6,447 .

Microfinance organization Freedom Finance Credit (“FFIN Credit”) is a start-up created by the Company's controlling shareholder, chairman and chief executive officer, Timur Turlov. It is a non-bank credit institution that issues loans in Kazakhstan under simplified lending procedures. FFIN Credit was created as a pilot project to test and improve the scoring models used for qualifying and issuing loans. The principal operation of FFIN Credit is to provide loans to customers online using biometric identification and its proprietary scoring process. After completion of the pilot launch, it is anticipated that the ownership of FFIN Credit will be transferred by Mr. Turlov to the Company.
During the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Company entered into agreements with FFIN Credit to purchase uncollateralized consumer retail loans. The agreements provide the Company the ability to sell back to FFIN Credit up to $ 36,010 of the total loans purchased.

NOTE 19 – FEE AND COMMISSION INCOME
Fee and commission income is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the promised services to the customers. A service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer obtains control over the promised service. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring the Company’s progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the services to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those promised services (i.e., the “transaction price”). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration, if any.

The Company’s revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when the performance obligations are satisfied at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for such services. The majority of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time and are typically collected from customers by debiting their brokerage account with the Company.
Brokerage and bank services
Commissions from brokerage services — The Company earns commission revenue by executing, settling and clearing transactions with clients primarily in exchange-traded and over-the-counter corporate equity and debt securities, money market instruments and exchange-traded options and futures contracts. Commissions from bank services — The Company earns bank commissions by executing client order for money transfer, purchase and sale of foreign currency, and other bank services. A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is derived from commissions from private clients through accounts with transaction-based pricing. Trade execution and clearing services, when provided together, represent a single performance obligation, as the services are not separately identifiable in the context of the contract. Commission revenue associated with combined trade execution and clearing services, as well as trade execution services on a standalone basis, are recognized at a point in time on trade date when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Commission revenue is generally paid on settlement date, which is generally two business days after trade date for equity securities and corporate bond transactions and one day for government securities, options and commodities transactions. The Company records a receivable on the trade date and receives a payment on the settlement date.

Investment Banking

The Company earns underwriting revenues by providing capital raising solutions for corporate clients through initial public offerings, follow-on offerings, equity-linked offerings, private investments in public entities, and private placements. Underwriting revenues are recognized at a point in time on trade date, as the client obtains the control and benefit of the capital markets offering at that point. These fees are generally received within 90 days after the transactions are completed. Transaction-related expenses, primarily consisting of legal, travel and other costs directly associated with the transaction, are deferred and recognized in the same period as the related investment banking transaction revenue. Underwriting revenues and related expenses are presented gross on the condensed consolidated income statements.

NOTE 23 – LEASES
The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When readily determinable, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

NOTE 25 – ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE
In the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Company announced its plans to divest its interests in its Russian securities brokerage and complementary banking operations in Russia ("Russian Segment"). On October 17, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Maxim Povalishin for the sale of 100 % of the share capital of its Russian segment. Maxim Povalishin, the purchaser, is currently the Deputy General Director and a member of the Board of Directors of Freedom RU. The transaction is subject to the approval of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and is expected to be completed within the next fiscal quarter.
The consideration for the purchase of the Russian Subsidiaries consists of the following:

• Mr. Povalishin will be assigned the Company’s obligation to Freedom RU under an outstanding deferred payment in the amount of approximately RUB 6.6 billion (at foreign exchange rate on the reporting date approximately $ 115 million) (the “Deferred Payment Obligation”) which resulted from the purchase by the Company of 90.43 % of the share capital of Freedom RU’s Kazakhstan subsidiary Freedom Finance JSC (“Freedom KZ”) (with its subsidiaries) from Freedom RU as part of a corporate restructuring, as a result of which the Company will become the 100 % direct owner of Freedom KZ. The agreement for the purchase of Freedom KZ was entered on September 13, 2022. The transaction was approved by regulatory body and is expected to be finalized during November 2022; and
• Mr. Povalishin will pay cash in an amount equal to (x) $ 140 million less (y) the amount of the Deferred Payment Obligation as translated into U.S. dollars at the official exchange rate on the closing date.
The Company has classified the Russia Segment as discontinued operations as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, because the subsidiaries to be disposed of in this transaction met the held for sale criteria as of September 30, 2022.

The cumulative translation adjustment attributable to the Russian Segment of $ 642 is included within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2022. In light of the Russia/Ukraine Conflict, and the consequent U.S., UK and EU economic sanctions and Russian countersanctions, we were seeking to sell our interests in our three Russian subsidiaries that resulted in a non-cash $ 41,464 impairment charge, which was recorded as of September 30, 2022, within the line item Net income from discontinued operation on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company will continue to evaluate the Russian Segment for changes in the valuation until it is sold.

Collateral may be obtained based on the Company's credit evaluation of the counterparty. The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit include commercial, commercial real estate, home equity and consumer lines of credit to existing customers. These commitments may mature without being fully funded.
Unfunded commitments under guarantees
Unfunded commitments under guarantees are conditional commitments issued by Freedom Bank KZ to provide bank guarantees to customers. These commitments may mature without being fully funded.

Regional Segments
Recently our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is our CEO, restructured the way he views our business from a single operating segment to five geographic regional segments: Central Asia, Europe, the U.S., Russia and Middle East/Caucasus.
Central Asia Segment

Our Central Asia segment comprises our Kazakhstan headquarters and our operations in Kazakhstan (including the AIFC), Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine and Turkey. As of September 30, 2022, our Central Asia segment had 49 securities brokerage offices, including offices in Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, that provide brokerage and financial services and investment consulting and education. As of September 30, 2022, our Central Asia segment had 11 bank offices, all in Kazakhstan, that provide commercial banking services.

During the six months ended September 30, 2022, we completed the acquisition of three insurance companies with a total of 55 insurance offices in Kazakhstan. The insurance companies provide consumer life and general insurance services including life insurance, health insurance, annuity insurance, accident insurance, obligatory worker emergency insurance, travel insurance, and general insurance products in property (including automobile), casualty, civil liability, personal insurance and reinsurance.

Freedom KZ and Freedom Bank KZ are members of the Association of Financiers of Kazakhstan. Freedom UA is a member of the Professional Association of Capital Market participants and Derivatives (“PARD”) in Ukraine.

On October 19, 2022, Freedom UA's brokerage license was suspended for a period of five years and its assets frozen by the Ukrainian authorities following its inclusion on a sanctions list of the Ukrainian government. We believe that the decision to include Freedom UA on such list was erroneous and we are in the process of appealing such decision.

The Central Asia segment accounted for approximately $113.4 million, or 62.9%, of our total revenue, net and approximately $89.4 million, or 75.5% of our total expense, during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Europe Segment

Our Cyprus securities brokerage firm, Freedom EU, oversees our Europe segment operations (consisting of operations in Cyprus, the UK, Germany, Spain, Greece, and France). Freedom EU is licensed to receive, transmit and execute customer orders, establish custodial accounts, engage in foreign currency exchange services and margin lending. Through our Cyprus subsidiary we provide transaction processing and intermediary services to our non-U.S. segment customers and to institutional customers seeking access to securities markets in the U.S. and Europe. All trading of U.S. and European exchange traded and OTC securities by our brokerage firms, excluding our U.S. subsidiary, PrimeEx, are routed to and executed through Freedom EU. Freedom EU is a member of the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (“AFME”).

As o f September 30, 2022, our Europe segment had seven brokerage offices, including offices in Cyprus, the UK, Germany, France, Spain and Greece, that provide securities broker dealer and financial services and investment consulting and education. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 , our Europe segment generated approximately $63.6 million, or 35%, of our total revenue, net and approximately $20.1 million, or 17%, of our total expense.

U.S. Segment

Our U.S. segment currently consists of FRHC and our PrimeEx subsidiary. PrimeEx is a registered agency-only execution broker-dealer on the floor of the NYSE. PrimeEx is a member of the NYSE, Nasdaq, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). In January 2022, PrimeEx received regulatory approval from FINRA to establish an investment banking and equity capital markets arm, which does business as Freedom Capital Markets ("FCM"). FCM is authorized to provide its corporate and institutional customers with a full array of investment banking, corporate finance, and capital markets advisory services, with capabilities including initial and follow-on offerings, PIPEs (Private Investment in Public Equity), SPACs (Special Purpose Acquisition Company), private placements, convertible issues, debt capital, mergers and acquisitions, corporate access, and corporate restructuring. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the U.S. segment generated approximately $3.3 million, or 0.00%, of our total revenue, net and approximately $8.6 million, or 7.2%, of our total expense.

Middle East/Caucasus Segment

67
Table of Contents
As of September 30, 2022, our Middle East/Caucasus region consisted of three o ffices, in Azerbaijan, Armenia and the United Arab Emirates, that provide brokerage and investment education services. We entered into the Caucasus market during fiscal year 2022 by establishing subsidiaries in Azerbaijan and Armenia, and in April 2022 we entered into the Middle East market by establishing a subsidiary in the United Arab Emirates. The Middle East/Caucasus region generated minimal revenue and incurred minimal expense during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as we are still in the process of setting up our operations in these three locations.

Russia Segment

Our Russia segment includes our securities brokerage subsidiary Freedom RU, its subsidiary Freedom Bank RU, which provides complementary banking operations and Freedom Auto,that provides car loans . As of September 30, 2022, our Russia segment had 41 offices and branches. Freedom RU is a member of the Russian National Association of Securities Market Participants (“NAUFOR”), a statutory self-regulatory organization with wide responsibility in regulation, supervision and enforcement of its broker-dealer, investment banking, commercial banking and other member firms in Russia. Freedom Bank RU is a member of the National Financial Association in Russia.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Russia segment generated approximately $56.8 million or 31% of our total revenue, net and approximately $75.1 million, or 63% of total expense, net. Although we currently continue to operate our Russian segment, we have agreed to sell our three Russian subsidiaries and accordingly this segment is accounted for as discontinued operations. See " Sale of Russian Subsidiaries and Corporate Restructuring " below.
Sale of Russian Subsidiaries
On October 19, 2022, we announced that we had entered into an agreement to sell our two Russian subsidiaries. The transaction is subject to the approval of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and is expected to close in the coming months. Until such time as the sale is completed, in a manner consistent with U.S. sanctions, we intend to provide fin ancial support only for "maintenance" of our investment in our Russian subsidiaries consistent with our previously established practices and in support of pre-existing projects and operations in conformity with OFAC guidance concerning such activities. We do not intend to engage in funding of new projects or expansion of pre-existing projects of our Russian subsidiaries. Because the Russian subsidiaries met the held for sale criteria as of September 30, 2022, we have classified them as discontinued operations as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, in accordance with ASC 205 and 360.

Corporate Restructuring

In conjunction with the sale of our Russian subsidiaries, we are in the process of undertaking a corporate
restructuring which will result in Freedom KZ (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries Freedom Bank KZ, Freedom
Life and Freedom Insurance) being wholly owned by FRHC directly. Currently, Freedom RU owns approximately 90% of
of Freedom KZ, with the remaining interest being owned by FRHC directly. The transfer of ownership from Freedom RU
to FRHC has been approved by the Kazakhstan financial sector regulator, and completion of the transfer is expected to occur prior to the closing of the sale of our Russian subsidiaries.

Acquisitions

Historically we have been active in pursuing inorganic growth through mergers and acquisitions. We expect this trend to continue in the future.

We continue to pursue our previously disclosed planned acquisition of each of the following companies: Paybox Technologies LLP and its subsidiaries ("Paybox"); and the company that developed and owns the ReKassa PCI Reader ("ReKassa"). Paybox developed and owns the Paybox Payment Platform, which is a dynamically developing project in the field of aggregation of payment systems services. Paybox is widely used in Kazakhstan and is actively developing a market in Kyrgyzstan. The ReKassa PCI Reader is a mobile and web application that replaces traditional cash registers. The ReKassa PCI Reader is currently available in Kazakhstan. While we believe that it is probable that the above planned acquisitions will be completed in the near future, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. We do not consider the acquisitions of Paybox and ReKassa to be material in the context of our overall operations.

Credit Ratings

In June 2022, S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) affirmed its “B-/B” rating of FRHC and its brokerage and banking subsidiaries Freedom KZ, Freedom Bank KZ, Freedom Europe and Freedom Global and removed them from CreditWatch negative. The outlook on FRHC is stable and the outlooks for the aforementioned subsidiaries are positive. S&P also raised
68
Table of Contents
the Kazakhstan national scale ratings of Freedom KZ and Freedom Bank KZ to “kzBB” from “kzBB-”. Freedom Life has an S&P Global Rating of "B" on the international scale and long-term rating on the national scale of "kzBBB-" with a positive outlook. Freedom Insurance has been assigned a "B" rating by S&P and a "kzBB+" national scale rating and a stable outlook. As a result of the Russia/Ukraine Conflict, S&P is no longer rating Russian entities, including our Russian subsidiaries.
Key F actors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Our operations have been, and may continue to be, affected by certain key factors as well as certain historical events and actions. The key factors affecting our business and results of operations include: the business environment in which we operate, the growth of retail brokerage activity in our key markets, the Russia/Ukraine Conflict (including but not limited to related sanctions and countersanctions), our decision to sell our Russian subsidiaries, relationships with related parties, governmental polices and the impact of COVID-19, as discussed below.
Business Environment
Financial services industry performance is closely correlated to economic conditions and financial market activity. The Russia/Ukraine Conflict which began in February 2022 has caused significant disruption in the currency and securities markets, affected interest rates, and negatively impacted Russian and Ukrainian customer confidence. Additionally, general market conditions and investor activity are products of many factors, most of which are generally beyond our control and unpredictable, and which may affect our clients' financial and investing decisions and resulting use of our services.
Growth of Retail Brokerage Activity In Our Key Markets
The retail brokerage markets in Kazakhstan and Russia have grown rapidly in recent years. This growth has had a significant positive effect on our results of operations. According to data from the KASE, the number of active accounts of retail investors on the KASE equity market increased from approximately 150.2 thousand in March 31, 2021 to 218.3 th ousand in March 31, 2022. According to data provided by the Russian National Association of Securities Market Participants ("NAUFOR"), the number of retail customer accounts on the MOEX increased from approximat ely 11.1 million as of March 31, 2021 to 16.8 million as of March 31, 2022. There is no assurance that such growth rates will continue in future periods.
The growth in these retail markets has contributed to growth in the number of our customer accounts. Our number of total customer accounts increased from approximately 170,000 as of March 31, 2021, to approximately 250,000 as of March 31, 2022, to approximately 310,000 as of September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, more than 53% of those customer accounts carried positive cash or asset account balances. Internally, we designate “active accounts” as those in which at least one transaction occurs per quarter. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had approximately 44,000 active accounts. The increases in the number of our customer accounts have in turn contributed to increases in our customer liabilities over these periods.
Effect of the Russia/Ukraine Conflict

In February 2022, without provocation, Russia invaded Ukraine. The war has lasted longer than previously anticipated, and it seems likely will last for an extended period of time as the Ukrainians continue to be more successful than initially expected at turning back Russian forces and as NATO countries supply the Ukrainians with armaments and supplies. The European Union and the United States have imposed broad-based sanctions and impounded financial assets of Russia, its companies and various notable Russian individuals. The impact of the sanctions has led to the increase of the price of hydrocarbons and the costs of various agricultural products produced by both Russia and Ukraine to disrupt supplies for those products, which has further increased inflationary pressures in Europe as well as the rest of the world. It has also had the indirect effect of lowering consumer confidence and consumer spending, all of which could have an adverse impact on financial markets and thus on our business.

Planned Divestiture of Russian Subsidiaries

In our 10-K report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Company announced its plans for divesting its interests in its Russian securities brokerage and complementary banking operations in Russia ("Russian Segment"). On October 17, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Maxim Povalishin for the sale of 100% of the share capital of its Russian segment. The transaction is subject to the approval of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and is expected to be completed within the next fiscal quarter. Because the assets and liabilities to be disposed of in connection with this transaction met the held for sale criteria as of September 30, 2022, in accordance with ASC 205 and 360 our

Table of Contents
Russian subsidiaries are presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and in the corresponding periods of 2021 for comparative purposes.

Following our planned divestiture of our Russian subsidiaries, the scale of our operations will contract significantly. As of September 30, 2022, our Russian subsidiaries had 41 offices and branches and 1,941 employees. We expect that the sale of our Russian subsidiaries will reduce our exposure to the current challenging geopolitical circumstances and will enable us to accelerate growth in other markets. We also expect that, following the completion of the sale of the Russian Subsidiaries, a number of existing clients of our Russian subsidiaries will invest in the non-Russian international capital markets going forward through accounts at other companies within our group, subject to appropriate on-boarding for compliance purposes. However, these matters are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. A failure by us to achieve the intended effects of the sale of our Russian subsidiaries could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in future periods.

Freedom Securities Trading Inc. (formerly known as FFIN Brokerage Services, Inc.) (“FFIN Brokerage”) is a corporation registered in and licensed as a broker dealer in Belize to service the investment needs of customers desiring broader investments options in international securities markets. FFIN Brokerage was formed in 2014 and is owned personally by the Company's controlling shareholder, chairman and chief executive officer, Timur Turlov. FFIN Brokerage is not part of our group of companies. FFIN Brokerage has its own brokerage customers, which include individuals, some entities and three institutional market-makers.

We expect FFIN Brokerage will continue to process brokerage transactions for its customers through us for the foreseeable future, subject to our standard compliance requirements.

Fee and commission income generated from FFIN Brokerage accounted for approximately 38% and 42% of our total revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and approximately 25% of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021. For additional information regarding our transactions with FFIN Brokerage, see Note 20 Related Party Transactions to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Our transactions with FFIN Brokerage were performed in the ordinary course of our brokerage and banking businesses and such transactions were made on substantially the same terms and conditions as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with similarly situated unaffiliated third parties.

Governmental Policies

Our earnings are and will be affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of the governments of the countries in which we operate, including among others Kazakhstan, Cyprus and the United States. The monetary policies of these countries may have a significant effect upon our operating results. It is not possible to predict the nature and impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.
Imp act of COVID-19
We continue to monitor conditions surrounding COVID-19, as well as economic and capital market conditions and their potential impact on our employees, business and operations. The extent to which developments (such as the duration and severity of future outbreaks of the same or new strains or variants of the disease, the effectiveness of vaccines, or new or additional measures implemented by governments) might impact our customers, employees, business, the general financial markets, the global economy and the economies of the countries in which we operate is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. For further information on the possible future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition, see Part 1A – Risk Factors of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on May 31, 2022.

Key Income Statement Line Items

Revenue

We derive revenue primarily from fee and commission income earned from our retail brokerage and banking customers and investment banking services, net gains from our proprietary trading activities, interest income and insurance underwriting premiums. Fee and commission income as a percentage of our total revenue was 52% and 30% in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, 53% and 39% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Fee and Commission Income

Fee and commission income consists principally of retail brokerage fees from customer trading, including fees charged for providing margin lending and related banking services, and fees for underwriting, market making and consulting services.

A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from commissions from customers through accounts with transaction-based pricing. Brokerage commissions are charged on investment products in accordance with a schedule we have formulated that aligns with local practice in the relevant market. Retail brokerage service fee and commission income as a percentage of our total fee and commission income was 92% and 96% in the three month ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Net Gain on Trading Securities

Net gain on trading securities reflects the change in value of the securities held in our proprietary trading portfolio in the relevant period. A net gain or loss is comprised of both realized and unrealized gains and losses during the period being presented. Realized gains or losses are recognized when we close an open position in a security and recognize a gain or a loss on that position. U.S. GAAP requires that we also reflect in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income any unrealized gain or loss on each open securities positions as of the end of each period based on whether the value of the open position is higher or lower at the period end than it was at either: (i) the beginning of the period, if the position was held for the full period; or (ii) at the time the position was opened, if the position was opened during the period.

Fluctuations in unrealized gains or losses from one period to another can occur as a result of factors beyond our control, such as fluctuations in the market prices of the open securities positions we hold or the short or long term halting of trading in certain markets, either of which may result from unpredictable factors such as significant market volatility stemming from market and economic uncertainty related to global or local events. Fluctuations might also result from factors within our control, such as when we elect to close an open securities position, which would have the effect of reducing our open positions and, thereby potentially reducing or increasing the amount of unrealized gains or losses we might recognize in a period. These fluctuations can adversely affect the ultimate value we realize from our proprietary trading activities. Unrealized gains or losses in a particular period may or may not be indicative of the gain or loss we will ultimately realize on a securities position when the position is closed. As a result, we might realize significant fluctuations in net gains and losses realized on our trading securities year-over-year or from one quarter to the next.

Interest Income

We earn interest income from trading securities, reverse repurchase transactions and loans to customers. Interest income on trading securities consists of interest earned from investments in debt securities and dividends earned on equity securities held in our proprietary trading account.

Insurance Underwriting Income

Life insurance premiums are recognized as revenue when due; accident and health insurance premiums are recognized as revenue over the premium paying period and property and casualty insurance premiums are recognized as revenue over the period of the contract in proportion to the amount of insurance protection provided.


Net Gain on Foreign Exchange Operations

71
Table of Contents
Net gain on foreign exchange operations reflects the net gain from: (i) the change in value resulting from currency fluctuations of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in any currency other than the functional currency of the entity holding such asset or liability; and (ii) purchases and sales of foreign currency. Under U.S. GAAP, we are required to revalue assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, which can result in gains or losses on foreign exchange operations. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates are beyond the Company's control, and the Company may suffer losses as a result of such fluctuations.

Fee and Commission Expense

We incur fee and commission expense in our brokerage, banking, and insurance activities. Fee and commission expense consists of expenses related to brokerage, banking, stock exchange, clearing, depository and agent services. Generally, we expect fee and commission expense from brokerage and banking activities to increase and decrease corresponding to increases and decreases in fee and commission income. For our insurance operations, fee and commission expense arises from the deferral and subsequent amortization of the costs of acquiring business, which are referred to as “deferred acquisition costs” (principally commissions, and other incremental direct costs of issuing policies). Deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) are amortized over the estimated premium-paying period of the related policies. DAC for property insurance, accident insurance and health insurance is amortized over the effective period of the related insurance policies. Acquisition costs for life insurance policies, except for accident insurance and health insurance, are not capitalized in DAC, and recognized as they arise and are included in commission expense.

Interest Expense

Interest expense includes the expenses associated with our short-term and long-term financing, which consist of interest on securities repurchase agreement obligations, customer accounts and deposits, debt securities issued and loans received.

Operating Expense

Operating expense includes payroll and bonuses, advertising expenses, lease cost, professional expenses, depreciation and amortization, communication services, software support, stock compensation expense, representative expenses, business trip expenses, utilities, charity and other expenses.

Insurance Claims Incurred, Net of Reinsurance

Insurance claims incurred are expenses directly associated with our insurance activity, and represent actual amounts paid or to be paid to policyholders when insurable events occur, minus any amounts we receive from reinsurers related to the insurable event. This amount is adjusted for changes in loss reserves, including claims reported but not settled (RBNS), claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) and not incurred claims reserve (NIC).

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments, Net of Tax

The functional currencies of our operating subsidiaries are the Kazakhstan tenge, Russian ruble, European euro, U.S. dollar, Ukrainian hryvnia, Uzbekistan sum, Kyrgyzstani som, Azerbaijani manat, Armenian dram, British pound sterling and United Arab Emirates dirham. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Pursuant to U.S. GAAP we are required to revalue our assets from our functional currencies to our reporting currency for financial reporting purposes.

Net Income/(Loss) Attributable to Non-controlling Interest

Net income/(loss) attributable to non-controlling interest includes our net income/(loss) attributable to our non-controlling interest in Freedom UA. We own a 9% interest in Freedom UA, with the remaining 91% interest controlled by Askar Tashtitov, the president of our Company. Through a series of agreements entered into with Freedom UA that obligate us to guarantee the performance of all Freedom UA obligations, provide Freedom UA adequate funding to cover its operating losses and net capital requirements, provide the management competence and operational support and ongoing access to our significant assets, technology resources and expertise in exchange for 90% of all net profits of Freedom UA after tax, we account for Freedom UA as a variable interest entity.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we realized total revenue, net of $180,312, a $137,187 decrease compared to three months ended September 30, 2021. Revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2022, was significantly lower than the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a 95% decrease in net gain on trading securities between the two periods. This decrease was offset in part by increases in interest income and insurance underwriting income. Fee and commission income decreased by 2% between the two periods.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, fee and commission income was $93,123, a decrease of $2,092, or 2%, as compared to fee and commission income of $95,215 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease in fee and commission income was primarily attributable to the decrease of fee and commission income from retail brokerage services of $6,194. The decrease in fee and commission income from retail brokerage services was attributable to lower volume of trades by clients in comparison with three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was offset in part by an increase in fee and commission income from bank services by $4,750 due to the expansion of Freedom Bank KZ and the growing activity of its clients between the two periods.
Net gain on trading securities
Net gain on trading securities was $9,005 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $172,598 as compared to $181,603 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. See the following table for information regarding our net gains and losses during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

Three months ended September 30, 2021 (Recasted)
$ 145,208 $ 36,395 $ 181,603

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we sold securities for a realized gain of $5,507. Similarly, securities positions we continued to hold at September 30, 2022, had appreciated by $11,201 as compared to June 30, 2022. This unrealized gain was partially offset by an unrealized net loss on SPBX ETF units held in our portfolio at September 30, 2022, in the amount of $7,703, resulting in an unrealized net gain of $3,498 for such three month period.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we exchanged approximately 11,500 shares of stock in the SPBX we held in our proprietary trading account for units in the SPBX ETF. The main contributing factors to the increase in net gain on trading securities during the three months ended September 30, 2021, were the sale of those SPBX ETF units and an increase in unrealized net gain resulting from the revaluation of securities held in our proprietary trading account at September 30, 2021. We do not consider the significant increases in realized and unrealized net gain on trading securities to be indicative of a trend toward higher net gains on trading securities in the future.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, interest income was $49,033, an increase of $24,604, or 101%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to a $12,655, or 60%, increase in interest income from trading securities between the two periods, which increase was in turn the result of an increase in the total size of our trading portfolio and an increase in the amount of bonds we held as a percentage of our total trading portfolio between the two periods. In addition, we recognized a $6,405, or 803%, increase in interest income from new loans issued to customers due to the expansion of the operations of Freedom Bank KZ between the two periods . We also recognized a $4,332, or 195%, increase in interest income from available-for-sale securities.
Net gain on foreign exchange operations
Under U.S. GAAP, we are required to revalue assets and liabilities denominated in any currency other than the functional currency of the entity holding such asset or liability to the functional currency of that entity.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022 , we had a net gain on foreign exchange operations of $4,555, compared to a net gain of $1,508 during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a net gain of $7,687 in the three months ended September 30, 2022 from the purchase and sale of foreign currency by our subsidiary Freedom Bank KZ, which conducted a higher volume of currency transactions in the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. This net gain was offset in part by a net loss on foreign exchange operations of $2,512 in the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the large amount of Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH) assets held by our subsidiary Freedom EU. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 , the value of the UAH depreciated by approximately 25% relative to the U.S. dollar.
Insurance underwriting income
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had insurance underwriting income of $26,200, an increase of $10,178, or 64%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a $10,794, or 60%, increase in insurance underwriting income from written insurance premiums for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, due to the expansion of our insurance operations between the two periods. This increase in income from written insurance premiums was partially offset by a $639, or 645%, decrease in income from insurance activities due to the reinsurance premiums ceded for the

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred total expense of $118,455, a $42,041, or 55%, increase as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in interest expense. Also contributing to the increase was an increase in operating expense, which was in turn largely attributable to the growth of our business primarily in connection with increases in administrative costs and fees from the growth in our revenue generating activities and integrating our acquisition targets. The increases were offset in part by a 19% decrease in fee and commission expense between the two periods.
Fee and commission expense
Fee and commission expense decreased by $4,212, or 19%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in brokerage services fees of $13,429 due to us using a new prime broker, as a result of which we had a different composition of order flow transactions, which were charged at lower rates. The decrease was offset in part by increase of bank services fees of $4,872 due to the expansion of the operations of Freedom Bank KZ between the two periods and increases in agency fee from insurance activities of $4,113 due to the expansion of our insurance operations between the two periods.
Interest expense
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had a $24,147, or 144%, increase in interest expense as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to a $19,676, or 156%, increase in interest expense on short-term financing through securities repurchase agreements due to an increase in the volume of such financing, and a $4,010, or 113%, increase in interest on customer deposits. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we increased our volume of short-term financing through securities repurchase agreements primarily in order to fund our investment portfolio. The increase in interest on customer deposits was a result of growth of our banking client base due to the expansion of the operations of Freedom Bank KZ between the two periods . As of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, banking customer liabilities of Freedom Bank KZ were $719,941 and $246,284, respectively.

Insurance claims incurred, net of reinsurance
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had a $3,962, or 29%, increase in insurance claims incurred, net of reinsurance, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a $4,149 or 173%, increase in other expenses and a $1,802 or 77%, increase in expenses for claims for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, in each case due to the expansion of our insurance operations between the two periods. The increases were offset in part by a $1,988, or 14%, decrease in expenses for insurance reserve between the two periods.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $37,760, which increased by $15,990, or 73%, compared to operating expenses of $21,770 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to the following increases: $8,056 in payroll and bonus expense as a result expansion of our workforce through hiring; $3,405 in charity and sponsorship expense due to humanitarian aid to the Ukraine-based charitable fund in connection with the geopolitical and economic situation; $1,879 in professional services expense; $992 in software support expense and a $2,226 increase in other operating expenses. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recogniz ed a $568 decrease in stock based compensation expense.
Income tax expenses
We recognized income before income tax of $61,857 and $241,085 during the three months ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively. Our effective tax rate during the three months ended September 30, 2022, increased to 20.4%, from 13.3% during the three months ended September 30, 2021, as a result of changes in the composition of the revenues we realized from our operating activities, the tax treatment of those revenues in the various jurisdictions where our subsidiaries operate, and the incremental U.S. GILTI tax.
Net income from continuing operations
As a result of the foregoing factors, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized net income from continuing operations of $49,238 and $208,991, respectively.
Net income/(loss) from discontinued operation
Net income/(loss) from discontinued operation represents the net income or loss from our subsidiaries in Russia, which are classified as discontinued operations. Net loss from discontinued operations was $22,026 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to net loss from discontinued operations of $2,250 for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
The increase was primarily due to our subsidiary Freedom RU entering into a non-deliverable currency forward contracts with a client of FFIN Brokerage with an aggregate face value of 3,450,000 Chinese yuan. The parties shall compensate each other the spread between Russian ruble and Chinese yuan exchange rate at the end of each month. Due to the depreciation of Chinese yuan against Russian ruble by 7%, our subsidiary recognized a $37,547 gain on currency forwards. However, this gain was offset in part by a loss on foreign exchange operations on dealing operations of $19,927, resulting in a net gain of $19,989 for the period. Additional, as presented in Note 24 we recognized provision for impairment of discontinued operation in the amount of $41,464.
Net income
As a result of the foregoing factors, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, we realized net income of $27,212 compared to $206,741 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an decrease of 87%.
Non-controlling interest
We reflect Mr. Tashtitov ownership of Freedom UA as a non-controlling interest in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We recognized a net gain attributable to non-controlling interest of $950 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as

compared to a net loss attributable to non-controlling interest of $20 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This change was largely a result of the recovery of trading positions of Freedom UA after the impact of Russia/Ukraine Conflict.
Foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax
Due to an approximately 9% depreciation of the Russian ruble and an approximately 3% depreciation of the Kazakhstan tenge against the U.S. dollar during the three months ended September 30, 2022, we realized a foreign currency translation loss of $16,663 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $1,181 for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

During the six months ended September 30, 2022, we realized total net revenue of $352,261, a 20% decrease compared to six months ended September 30, 2021. As discussed in more detail below under “Net Gain on Trading Securities” $190,285 of total revenue, net during the six months ended September 30, 2021, was realized from the sale of certain securities held in our proprietary trading portfolio and from revaluation of securities we continued to hold in our portfolio at September 30, 2021. We considered the sale of securities during the three months ended September 30, 2021 from our own portfolio as an extraordinary event that we did not believe to be indicative of a trend in future periods.

During the six months ended September 30, 2022, fee and commission income increased by $13,052, or 7%, as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to a $7,984 increase in fee and commission income from brokerage services. The increase in fee and commission income from brokerage services was attributable to growth in client accounts through organic efforts including expansion of fee and commission generating activities such as an increase in the number of clients, an increase in number of active clients, and more trades by clients.
Net gain on trading securities
The following table sets out information regarding our net gains on trading securities during the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:
Realized Net Gain Unrealized Net Gain/(Loss) Net Gain
Six months ended September 30, 2022 $ 21,671 $ (8,232) $ 13,439
Six months ended September 30, 2021 $ 148,319 $ 41,966 $ 190,285
During the six months ended September 30, 2022, we sold securities for a realized net gain of $21,671. This net gain was offset in part by an unrealized net loss of $8,232, which was attributable to an unrealized net loss on SPBX shares held in our portfolio at September 30, 2022, in the amount of $22,373, which was offset in part by an unrealized net gain of $14,140 due to appreciation of securities positions we continued to hold at September 30, 2022.
The primary contributing factors to the increase in net gain on trading securities during the six months ended September 30, 2021, were the sale of SPBX ETF units we held in our proprietary trading account and higher unrealized net gain as a result of revaluation of securities we continued to hold in our proprietary accounts at September 30, 2021. As noted above, we do not consider the significant increase in realized net gain on trading securities resulting from the sale of SPBX ETF units and the increase in unrealized net gain from revaluation of securities held in our portfolio at September 30, 2021, to be indicative of a trend toward higher net gains on trading securities in the future.

Interest income on trading securities consists of interest earned from investments in debt securities and dividends earned on equity securities held in our proprietary trading account. We recognized a $28,158, or 76% increase in interest income from trading securities during the six months ended September 30, 2022 because we increased (i) the total size of our trading portfolio and (ii) the percentage of our investments in bonds.

We recognized a $678, or 147% increase in interest income from reverse repurchase transactions because we engaged in a larger volume of such transactions during the six months ended September 30, 2022.

During the six months ended September 30, 2022, the value of the Ukranian hryvnia (UAH) depreciated by approximately 25%. Due to the large amounts of UAH assets in our subsidiary Freedom EU, it recognized a net loss on foreign exchange operations of $2,357 from the total of $2,385 . Further, we realized a net gain on foreign exchange operations affected by the purchase and sale of foreign currency in our subsidiary Freedom Bank KZ of $11,609 from the total of $11,476 as a result of higher volume of currency exchange transactions.
Insurance underwriting income

This increase in income from written insurance premiums was partially offset by a $2,891, or 110%, decrease in income from insurance activities due to the unearned premium reserve for the six months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2021.

______________
*    Percentage of total expense.
During the six months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred total expenses of $238,400, a 67% increase compared to the six months ended September 30, 2021. Expenses increased with the growth of our business primarily in connection with increases in interest expenses and administrative costs and fees from the growth in our revenue generating activities and integrating our acquisition targets.
Fee and commission expense
Fee and commission expense decreased by $2,090, a 5% decrease, during the six months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in brokerage commissions by $19,563 due to us using a new prime broker, as a result of which we had a different composition of order flow transactions, which were charged at lower rates, which decrease was offset in part by increases of commissions paid to bank services of $6,954, agency fee expenses of $6,641 and agency fee from insurance activities of $3,392. These increases were the result of both growth in our customer base and increased transaction volume from our customers. Generally, we expect fee and commission expense to increase and decrease in correspondence with increases and decreases in fee and commission income.
Interest expense
During the six months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred a 161% increase in interest expense. The increased expense was primarily attributable to a $42,632 increase in volume of short-term financing through securities repurchase agreements and a $6,720 increase in interest on customer deposits.

We increased our volume of short-term financing through securities repurchase agreements primarily in order to fund our investment portfolio. The increase in interest on customer deposits and loans received was a result of a growth of client base.
Insurance claims incurred, net of reinsurance
During the six months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a $9,358, or 38%, increase in expenses from insurance activities as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2021. We recognized a $976 or 6%, increase in expenses for insurance reserve, a $3,670 or 89%, increase in expenses for claims, and a $6,379 or 208%, increase in other expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2021, due to the expansion of operations of our insurance companies.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses during the six months ended September 30, 2022, totaled $75,759, a $34,568 increase compared to the six months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to a $15,855 increase in payroll and bonus expense as a result expansion of our workforce through acquisition and hiring, $7,285 increase in charity

and sponsorship expense due to humanitarian aid to the Ukraine-based cha ritable fund in connection with the geopolitical and economic situation , $3,443 increase in professional services expense, $2,485 increase in software support expense due to the growth of our business, as well as $879 increase in business trip expense and a $4,622 increase in other operating expense.
Income tax expense
We recognized income before income tax of $113,861 and $298,882 during the six months ended September 30, 2022, and the six months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Our effective tax rate during the six months ended September 30, 2022, decreased to 18.9%, from 12.5% during the six months ended September 30, 2021, as a result of changes in the composition of the revenues we realized from our operating activities, the tax treatment of those revenues in the various foreign jurisdictions where our subsidiaries operate, and the incremental U.S. GILTI tax.
Net income from continuing operations
As a result of the foregoing factors, for the six months ended September 30, 2022, and the six months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized net income from continuing operations of $92,363 and $261,662, respectively.
Net income/(loss) from discontinued operation
Net income/(loss) from discontinued operation represents the net income or loss from our subsidiaries in Russia, which are classified as discontinued operations. Net loss from discontinued operations was $6,080 for the six months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to net income from discontinued operations of $449 for the six months ended September 30, 2021.
The increase in net income from discontinued operation between the two periods was mainly attributable to our subsidiary Freedom RU having entered into non-deliverable currency forward contracts with a client of FFIN Brokerage with an aggregate face value of 3,450,000 Chinese yuan during the six months ended September 30, 2022. Under the contracts, the parties must compensate each other for the spread between the Russian ruble and the Chinese yuan exchange rate at the end of each month. Due to the depreciation of Chinese yuan against Russian ruble by 7%, our subsidiary recognized a $37,547 gain on currency forwards for the six months ended September 30, 2022. This gain was offset in part by a recognized a loss on foreign exchange operations on dealing operations of $19,927 during such period. Additional, as presented in Note 24 we recognized provision for impairment of discontinued operation in the amount of $41,464.
Net income
As a result of the foregoing factors, for the six months ended September 30, 2022, we realized net income of $86,283 compared to $262,111 for the six months ended September 30, 2021, an decrease of 67%.
Non-controlling interest
We reflect our ownership of Freedom UA as a non-controlling interest in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We recognized a net loss attributable to non-controlling interest of $1,044 for the six months ended September 30,2022, as compared to a net loss attributable to non-controlling interest of $72 for the six months ended September 30, 2021. This change was largely as a result of the Russia/Ukraine Conflict and its impacts on the securities markets where Freedom UA held most of its open securities positions. We recognized an unrealized net loss on open trading positions of $1,800 in Freedom UA during the first fiscal quarter 2023.
Foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax
The functional currencies of our operating subsidiaries are the Kazakhstani tenge, Russian ruble, European euro, U.S. dollar, Ukrainian hryvnia, Uzbekistani som, Kyrgyzstani som, UK pound sterling, Turkish lira and Azerbaijani manat. Our reporting currency is the U. S. dollar. Pursuant to U.S. GAAP we are required to revalue our assets from our functional currencies to our reporting currency for financial reporting purposes. Due to the appreciation of the value of Russian ruble by nearly 31% and depreciation on Kazakhstan tenge by nearly 2%, respectively against the U.S. dollar during the six

months ended September 30, 2022, we realized a foreign currency translation gain of $5,316, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $4,203 during the six months ended September 30, 2021.

Segment Results of Operations

We have organized our operations geographically into five regional segments: Central Asia, Europe, United States and Middle East/Caucasus. The results of our Russian subsidiaries are presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and in the corresponding periods of 2021 for comparative purposes.

The following table sets out total revenue, net by segment for the three month periods presented (not including discontinued operations):

Total revenue, net $ 180,312 $ 317,499 $ (137,187) (43) %
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, total revenue, net increased across each of our regional operating segments, except Europe. The changes in total net revenue, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, were driven by the following:

• Total revenue, net in our Central Asia segment increased 135% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was driven by an increase in interest income, as a result of growth in interest received from securities held in our trading portfolio and an increase in interest accrued from loans issued. This segment was also significantly affected by an increase in income from insurance activities, caused by expansion of our insurance business. The increase of revenue was also due to a rise in net gain on trading securities, related to growth of our trading portfolio and an increase in interest income from securities held in our trading portfolio. Moreover, this segment was significantly affected by the increase in commission fees from brokerage and banking services during the period caused by the expansion of our brokerage and banking business.

• Total revenue, net in our Europe segment decreased 76% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was driven by a decrease in net gain on trading securities due to a large net gain on trading securities in the three month ended September 30, 2021 due to the revaluation of our trading portfolio. In addition fee and commission income from the Europe segment decreased by 17.8% in the three months ended September 30, 202 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, due to a decrease of client trading activities between the two periods.

• Total revenue, net in our U.S. segment increased by 198% during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was driven mainly by the growth of interest income on the bonds in our trading portfolio.

• The amount of revenue recognized by our Middle East/Caucasus segment was immaterial during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and the three months ended September 30, 2021, as our Azerbaijani, Armenian and UAE subsidiaries are newly-established and still in setting up operations.

• Total expense in our Central Asia segment increased by 103% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily recognized by Freedom Bank KZ and was driven by an increase in interest expense primarily from growth in interest paid on securities repurchase agreements and growth in customer deposits. This segment also experienced an increase in operating expenses due to growth in payroll and bonuses.

• Total expense in our Europe segment decreased 26% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was driven by the lower commission expense due to change of our prime broker and different composition of order flow transactions, which were charged at lower rates. This decrease was partially offset mainly due to growth of operating expense, mainly due to charity and sponsorship, software support and payroll and bonuses.

• Total expense in our U.S. segment increased by 66% during the three months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was driven by the growth of interest expense on securities repurchase agreement obligations.

• The amount of expense incurred by our Middle East/Caucasus segment was immaterial during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and the three months ended September 30, 2021, as our Azerbaijani, Armenian and UAE subsidiaries are newly-established and still in the process of setting up operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet our potential cash requirements for general business purposes. During the period covered in this report our operations were primarily funded through a combination of existing cash on hand, cash generated from operations, returns generated from our proprietary trading and proceeds from the sale of bonds and other borrowings.
We regularly monitor and manage our leverage and liquidity risk through various committees and processes we have established to maintain compliance with net capital and capital adequacy requirements imposed on securities brokerages, banks and insurance companies in the jurisdictions where we do business. We assess our leverage and liquidity risk based on considerations and assumptions of market factors, as well as other factors, including the amount of available liquid capital (i.e., the amount of cash and cash equivalents not invested in our operating business). While we are confident in the risk management monitoring and processes we have in place, a significant portion of our trading securities and cash and cash equivalents are subject to collateralization agreements. This significantly enhances our risk of loss in the event financial markets move against our positions. When this occurs our liquidity, capitalization and business can be negatively impacted. Certain market conditions can impact the liquidity of our assets, potentially requiring us to hold positions longer than anticipated. Our liquidity, capitalization, projected return on investment and results of operations can be significantly impacted by market events over which we have no control, and which can result in disruptions to our investment strategy for our assets.
We maintain a majority of our tangible assets in cash and securities that are readily convertible to cash, including governmental and quasi-governmental debt and highly liquid corporate equities and debt. Our financial instruments and

(1) Resulted from increased purchases of securities held in our proprietary account.
(2) Resulted from increased funds in brokerage accounts from new and existing customers.
(3) Resulted from increased volume of margin lending receivables.
(4) Represents increased obligations to the Program Operator related to the state mortgage program "7-20-25" and other programs resulting from our continuing involvement in such programs.
The net cash flow generated from operating activities in the six months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily attributable to an increase in customer liabilities over that period, which resulted from the increase of customer accounts in our Freedom Global subsidiary. This net cash inflow was offset in part by net cash outflows attributable to increases in trading securities and increases in brokerage and other receivables.

Net Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities
During the six months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $323,187 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $66,252 during the six months ended September 30, 2021. During the six months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in investing activities was used for the issuance of loans to customers under the state mortgage program "7-20-25" in the amount of $228,570, the purchase of fixed assets in the amount of $17,295, and for the purchase of available for sale securities, net of sales, in the amount of $10,030 . Net cash used to investing activities was partially offset from cash and cash equivalents received at the acquisitions of London Almaty and Ticketon in the amount of $11,385.
Net Cash Flows From Financing Activities
Net cash from financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2022, consisted principally bank customer deposits in the amount of $513,546 due to the growth of banking activity in Central Asia, proceeds from securities repurchase agreement obligations in the amount of $168,565, proceeds from issuance of debt securities of $17,240, proceeds from capital contributions of $677 and proceeds from loans received of $1,863. Net cash from financing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2021, consisted principally of proceeds from securities repurchase agreement obligations in the amount of $172,234, partially offset by net cash used in the repurchase of outstanding Freedom KZ debt securities in the amount of $10,134.
DIVIDENDS
We have not declared or paid a cash dividend on our common stock during the past two fiscal years. Any payment of cash dividends on stock in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our results of operations, earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, future prospects, contractual and legal restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the operation, development and expansion of our business, and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future.
INDEBTEDNESS
Short-term
Securities Repurchase Arrangements . Our short-term financing is primarily obtained through securities repurchase arrangements entered into with the KASE. We use repurchase arrangements to, among other things, finance our inventory positions. As of September 30, 2022, $981,190, or 73%, of the trading securities held in our proprietary trading account were subject to securities repurchase obligations compared to $840,224, or 72%, as of March 31, 2022. The securities we pledge as collateral under repurchase agreements are liquid trading securities with market quotes and significant trading volume. For additional information regarding our securities repurchase agreement obligations see Note 11 Securities Repurchase Agreement Obligations of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Long-term
FRHC 7.00% Notes due December 2022 . As of September 30, 2022, we had outstanding $3,622 in principal amount of FRHC 7.00% notes due December 2022, which are listed on the AIX. These notes provide for semi-annual interest payments in June and December and include customary events of default relating to the disposition of our assets outside the ordinary course of business, defaults on other liabilities and obligations, corporate reorganizations, initiation of
87
Table of Contents
bankruptcy proceeding, termination of the AIX listing by us, and substitution of the principal debtor without requisite approval. These notes mature in December 2022.
Freedom SPC Bonds . On November 16, 2021, Freedom SPC commenced a best efforts underwritten public offering of up to US $66,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.50% US dollar denominated bonds due October 21, 2026 (the “Freedom SPC Bonds”), which are listed on the AIX. As of September 30, 2022, there were outstanding $30,184 in principal amount of the Freedom SPC Bonds. The offering may continue for a period of up to one year from the date of the commencement of the offering. The Freedom SPC Bonds are guaranteed by FRHC and the proceeds from the issuance of the Freedom SPC Bonds have been and will be, as the case may be, transferred to FRHC pursuant to an intercompany loan agreement that bears interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum. The Freedom SPC Bonds are governed by the Offer Terms of the 5.5% Coupon US $66,000 Bonds Due October 21, 2026. The Freedom SPC Bonds mature in October 2026.
NET CAPITAL AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY
A number of our subsidiaries are required to satisfy minimum net capital and capital adequacy requirements to conduct their brokerage, banking and insurance operations in the jurisdictions in which they operate. This is partially maintained by retaining cash and cash equivalent investments in those subsidiaries or jurisdictions. As a result, such subsidiaries may be restricted in their ability to transfer cash between different jurisdictions and to FRHC. Additionally, transfers of cash between international jurisdictions may have adverse tax consequences that could discourage such transfers.
At September 30, 2022, these minimum net capital and capital adequacy requirements ranged from approximately $23 to $20,860 and fluctuate depending on various factors. At September 30, 2022, the aggregate net capital and capital adequacy requirements of our subsidiaries was approximately $32,049. Each of our subsidiaries that are subject to net capital or capital adequacy requirements exceeded the minimum required amount at September 30, 2022.
Although we operate with levels of net capital and capital adequacy substantially greater than the minimum established thresholds, in the event we fail to maintain minimum net capital or capital adequacy, we may be subject to fines and penalties, suspension of operations, revocation of licensure and disqualification of our management from working in the industry. Our subsidiaries are also subject to various other rules and regulations, including liquidity and capital adequacy ratios. Our operations that require the intensive use of capital are limited to the extent necessary to meet our regulatory requirements.
Over the past several years, we have pursued an aggressive growth strategy both through acquisitions and organic growth efforts. During fiscal 2023 we are continuing our efforts to expand the footprint of our business on a scale similar to fiscal 2022, while at the same time we have entered into an agreement to sell our Russian subsidiaries. While our active growth strategy has led to revenue growth it also results in increased expenses and greater need for capital resources. Additional growth and expansion, or the costs associated with a sale of our Russian subsidiaries and the impacts of that action, may require greater capital resources than we currently possess, which could require us to pursue additional equity or debt financing from outside sources. We cannot assure that such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, at the time it is needed.
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, cash expected to be generated from operating activities, and forecasted returns from our proprietary trading, combined with our ability to raise additional capital will be sufficient to meet our present and anticipated financing needs.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
For a discussion of off-balance sheet financing arrangements of the Company as of September 30, 2022, see Note 26 Commitments and Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Following are the accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates, judgments and assumptions and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results.
Allowance for accounts receivable
Allowance for accounts receivable is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the collectability of an account receivable balance is doubtful. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance by using past accounts receivable loss experience, the nature and volume, information about specific counterparties and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors.
Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific accounts receivable, but the entire allowance is available for any accounts receivable that in management's judgment should be charged off.
The allowance consists of specific and general components, the specific component relates to accounts receivable that are individually classified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the agreement. The general component is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is based on the actual loss history we have experienced over 3-5 years, which management reviews periodically.
Goodwill
We have accounted for our acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date as we allocate the purchase price to the estimated fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets and the liabilities assumed. We also use our best estimates to determine the useful lives of the tangible and definite-lived intangible assets, which impact the periods over which depreciation and amortization of those assets are recognized. These best estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain as they pertain to forward looking views of our businesses, customer behavior, and market conditions. In our acquisitions, we have also recognized goodwill at the amount by which the purchase price paid exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired.
89
Table of Contents
Our ongoing accounting for goodwill and the tangible and intangible assets acquired requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions as we exercise judgement to evaluate these assets for impairment. Our processes and accounting policies for evaluating impairments are further described in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had goodwill of $9,512.
Income taxes
We are subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. These tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. As a result, actual future tax consequences relating to uncertain tax positions may be materially different than our determinations or estimates.
We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the difference between the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Income taxes are determined in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future years based on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable to the differences that are expected to affect taxable income.
We periodically evaluate and establish the likelihood of tax assessments based on current and prior years' examinations, and unrecognized tax benefits related to potential losses that may arise from tax audits in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance. Once established, unrecognized tax benefits are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.
Legal contingencies
We review outstanding legal matters at each reporting date, in order to assess the need for provisions and disclosures in our financial statements. Among the factors considered in making decisions on provisions are the nature of the matter, the legal process and potential legal exposure in the relevant jurisdiction, the progress of the matter (including the progress after the date of the financial statements but before those statements are issued), the opinions or views of our legal advisers, experiences on similar cases and any decision of our management as to how we will respond to the matter.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The following information, together with information included in Part I, Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations , describe our primary market risk exposures.
All dollar amounts reflected in this Part I, Item 3 are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars unless the context indicates otherwise.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of economic loss arising from the adverse impact of market changes to the market value of our trading and investment positions. We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk and equity price risk.
90
Table of Contents
Interest rate risk
Our exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and outstanding debt. While we are exposed to global interest rate fluctuations, we are most sensitive to fluctuations in Kazakhstan interest rates. Changes in Kazakhstan interest rates may have significant effect on the fair value of our securities.
Our investment policies and strategies are focused on preservation of capital and supporting our liquidity requirements. We typically invest in highly rated securities, with the primary objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. Our investment policies generally require securities to be investment grade and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer (other than government and quasi-government securities). To provide a meaningful assessment of the interest rate risk associated with our investment portfolio, we performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the impact a change in interest rates would have on the value of the investment portfolio assuming a 100 basis point parallel sh ift in the yield curve. Based on investment positions as of September 30, 2022, and March 31, 2022 (not including assets held for sale), a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates across all maturities would have resulted in $52,954 and $55,249 incremental decline in the fair market value of the portfolio, respectively. Such losses would only be realized if we sold the investments prior to maturity. A hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in inter est rates across all maturities would have resulted in a $63,557 and $61,002 incremental rise in the fair market value of the portfolio (not including assets held for sale), respectively.
Foreign currency exchange risk
We have business operations in Kazakhstan, Russia, Cyprus, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Germany, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, UAE, Greece, Spain, France, U.S. and UK. We have entered into an agreement to sell our Russian subsidiaries. The activities and accumulated earnings in our foreign subsidiaries are exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between our functional currencies and our reporting currency, which is the U.S. dollar. In accordance with our risk management policies, we manage foreign currency exchange risk on financial assets by holding or creating financial liabilities in the same currency, maturity and interest rate profile. This foreign exchange risk is calculated on a net foreign exchange basis for individual currencies. We may also enter into foreign currency forward, swap and option contracts with financial institutions or other parties to mitigate foreign currency exposures associated with certain existing assets and liabilities, firmly committed transactions and forecasted future cash flows. An analysis of our September 30, 2022, and March 31, 2022 (not including assets held for sale), balance sheets estimates the net impact of a 10% adverse change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to all other currencies, would have resulted in a decrease of income before income tax in the amount of $19,132, and in the increase in the amount of $282, respectively.
Equity price risk
Our equity investments are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of such investment securities. Equity price risk results from fluctuations in the price and level of the equity securities or instruments we hold. We also have equity investments in entities where the investment is denominated in a foreign currency, or where the investment is denominated in U.S. dollars but the investee primarily makes investments in foreign currencies. The fair values of these investments are subject to change as the spot foreign exchange rate between these currencies and our functional currency fluctuates. We attempt to manage the risk of loss inherent in our equity securities portfolio through diversification and by placing limits on individual and total equity instruments we hold. Reports on our equity portfolio are submitted to management on a regular basis.
As of September 30, 2022, and March 31, 2022, our exposure to equity investments at fair value was $32,522 and $72,354, respectively. An analysis of the September 30, 2022, and March 31, 2022 (not including assets held for sale), balance sheets estimates a decrease of 10% in the equity price would have reduced the value of the equity securities or instruments we held by approximately $3,252 and $7,235, respectively.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of loss arising when a borrower or counterparty does not meet its financial obligations to us. We are primarily exposed to credit risk from institutions and individuals through the brokerage and banking services we offer. We incur credit risk in a number of areas, including margin lending.
91
Table of Contents
Margin lending receivables risk
We extend margin loans to our customers. Margin lending is subject to regulation in the jurisdictions in which we operate. In particular, as most of our margin lending receivables are in Cyprus, Russia and Kazakhstan, we are subject to various regulatory requirements of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Cyprus), the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Russia) and Astana Financial Services Authority (Kazakhstan). Margin loans are collateralized by cash and securities in the customers’ accounts. The risks associated with margin credit increase during periods of fast market movements, or in cases where collateral is concentrated and market movements occur. During such times, customers who utilize margin loans and who have collateralized their obligations with securities may find that the securities have a rapidly depreciating value and may not be sufficient to cover their obligations in the event of a liquidation. We are also exposed to credit risk when our customers execute transactions, such as short sales of options and equities that can expose them to risk beyond their invested capital.
We expect this kind of exposure to increase with the growth of our overall business. Because we indemnify and hold harmless our clearing houses and counterparties from certain liabilities or claims, the use of margin loans and short sales may expose us to significant off-balance-sheet risk in the event that collateral requirements are not sufficient to fully cover losses that customers may incur and those customers fail to satisfy their obligations. As of September 30, 2022, we had $399,857 in margin lending receivables from our customers. The amount of risk to which we are exposed from the margin lending we extend to our customers and from short sale transactions by our customers is unlimited and not quantifiable as the risk is dependent upon analysis of a potentially significant and indeterminable rise or fall in stock prices. As a matter of practice, we enforce real-time margin compliance monitoring and liquidate customers’ positions if their equity falls below established margin requirements.
We have a comprehensive policy implemented in accordance with regulatory standards to assess and monitor the suitability of investors to engage in various trading activities. To mitigate our risk, we also continuously monitor customer accounts to detect excessive concentration, large orders or positions, patterns of day trading and other activities that indicate increased risk to us.
Our credit exposure is to a great extent mitigated by our policy of automatically evaluating each account throughout the trading day and closing out positions automatically for accounts that are found to be under-margined. While this methodology is effective in most situations, it may not be effective in situations where no liquid market exists for the relevant securities or commodities or where, for any reason, automatic liquidation for certain accounts has been disabled. We continually monitor and evaluate our risk management policies, including the implementation of policies and procedures to enhance the detection and prevention of potential events to mitigate margin loan losses.
Loans to customers

We calculate loan loss provision (LLP) based on several probability-weighted scenarios to measure the expected cash shortfalls, discounted at an approximation to the effective interest rate. A cash shortfall is the difference between the cash flows that are due to an entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive. The mechanics of the LLP calculations are outlined below and the key elements are as follows:

• The Probability of Default (PD) is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may only happen at a certain time over the assessed period, if the facility has not been previously derecognised and is still in the portfolio.
• The Loss Given Default (LGD) is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, including from the realization of any collateral. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD.

Definition of default

We consider a financial instrument defaulted and therefore credit-impaired for LLP calculations in all cases when the borrower becomes 90 days past due on its contractual payments.

As a part of a qualitative assessment of whether a customer is in default, we also considers a variety of instances that may indicate unlikeliness to pay. When such events occur, the Group carefully considers whether the event should result in treating the customer as defaulted and therefore assessed as credit-impaired for LLP calculations or whether unimpaired is appropriate. Such events include:

92
Table of Contents
• Death of the borrower (co-borrower);
• The debtor (or any legal entity within the debtor’s group) filing for bankruptcy application/protection;
• The debt was restructured due to deterioration of financial condition of the borrower once or more over the last 12 months with due account for the criteria for credit quality cure;
• Decision of the authorized body to assign a default status to a financial asset.

Retail lending

Retail lending includes unsecured loans to individuals, credit cards, overdrafts and loans secured by real estate. Evaluation of unsecured products is carried out using an automated scoring system based on qualitative and quantitative indicators. The main indicators used in the models are as follows: length of employment at the last job, credit history, frequency of pension contributions, education, marital status, as well as the ratio of the amount of the contribution on the expected loan to the average monthly income of the client. Evaluation of products secured by real estate is carried out by determining the level of solvency and the ratio of the loan to the collateral value of the collateral.

Loss given default

The credit risk assessment is based on a standardised LGD assessment framework that results in a certain LGD rate. These LGD rates take into account the outstanding amount of the loan in comparison to the amount expected to be recovered or realised from any collateral held.

We segment retail lending products into smaller homogeneous portfolios, based on key characteristics that are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows. The applied data is based on historically collected loss data and involves a wider set of transaction characteristics (e.g., product type, wider range of collateral types) as well as borrower characteristics.

Where appropriate, further recent data and forward-looking economic scenarios are used in order to determine the LGD rate for each group of financial instruments. When assessing forward-looking information, the expectation is based on multiple scenarios. Examples of key inputs involve changes in, collateral values including property prices for mortgages, payment status or other factors that are indicative of losses in the group.

Forward-looking information and multiple economic scenarios

In its ECL models, the Group relies on a broad range of forward-looking information as economic inputs, such as:

1. Growth of Gross Domestic Product;
2. Retail trade index
3. Currency exchange rates;
4. Real wage index;
5. Unemployment rates;
6. Inflation.

The inputs and models used for calculating ECLs may not always capture all characteristics of the market at the date of the financial statements. To reflect this, qualitative adjustments or overlays are occasionally made as temporary adjustments when such differences are significantly material.

The Group obtains the forward-looking information from third party sources (external rating agencies, governmental bodies). Experts of the Group’s Risk Management Department determine the weights attributable to the multiple scenarios. The tables show the values of the key forward looking economic variables/assumptions used in each of the economic scenarios for the ECL calculations.
Operational risk
Operational risk generally refers to the risk of loss, or damage to our reputation, resulting from inadequate or failed operations or external events, including, but not limited to, business disruptions, improper or unauthorized execution and processing of transactions, deficiencies in our technology or financial operating systems and inadequacies or breaches in our control processes including cyber security incidents. For descriptions of related risks, see the information under the heading “ Risks Related to Information Technology and Cyber Security ” in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on May 31, 2022.
93
Table of Contents
To mitigate and control operational risk, we have developed and continue to enhance policies and procedures that are designed to identify and manage operational risk at appropriate levels throughout the organization and within specific departments. We also have business continuity plans in place that we believe will cover critical processes on a company-wide basis, and redundancies are built into our systems as we have deemed appropriate. These control mechanisms attempt to ensure that operational policies and procedures are being followed and that our various businesses are operating within established corporate policies and limits.
Legal and compliance risk
We operate in a number of jurisdictions, each with its own legal and regulatory structure that is unique and different from the other. Legal and regulatory risk includes the risk of non-compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and damage to our reputation as a result of failure to comply with laws, regulations, rules, related self-regulatory organization standards and codes of conduct applicable to our business activities. Such non-compliance could result in the imposition of legal or regulatory sanctions, material financial loss, including fines, penalties, judgments, damages and/or settlements, or loss of reputation that we may suffer as a result of compliance failures. These risks include contractual and commercial risk, such as the risk that a counterparty’s performance obligations will be unenforceable. It also includes compliance with anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing rules and regulations, anti-corruption and sanctions rules and regulations.
We have established and continue to enhance procedures designed to ensure compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, such as public company reporting obligations, regulatory net capital and capital adequacy requirements, sales and trading practices, potential conflicts of interest, anti-money laundering, counter terrorism financing, privacy, sanctions and recordkeeping. The legal and regulatory focus on the financial services industry presents a continuing business challenge for us. Our business also subjects us to the complex income tax laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate, and these tax laws may be subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant governmental taxing authorities. We must make judgments and interpretations about the application of these inherently complex tax laws when determining the provision for income taxes.
Effects of Inflation
Because our assets are primarily short-term and liquid in nature, they are generally not significantly impacted by inflation. The rate of inflation does, however, affect our expenses, including employee compensation, communications and information processing and office leasing costs, which may not be readily recoverable from our customers. To the extent inflation results in rising interest rates and has adverse impacts upon securities markets, it may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the 2013 framework of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management identified a material weakness related to a lack of an effectively designed specific control activity over the compliance of Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows with US GAAP. As a result of the associated error related to the historical classification of certain loans and deposits from banking institutions within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we have restated our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended September 30, 2021 as presented for comparative purposes in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and we will be restating our previously filed consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 and for each of the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022.

In light of the material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted principles. Accordingly, management concluded that the financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented.

Remediation Plan for the Material Weakness

In order to remediate the material weakness, our management plans to enhance the design of its control activity over the classification of certain loans and deposits from banking institutions within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the newly designed control activity operates for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the control is operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, no changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The financial services industry is highly regulated. In recent years, there has been an increasing incidence of litigation involving the brokerage industry, including customer and shareholder class action suits that generally seek substantial damages, including in some cases punitive damages. Compliance and trading problems that are reported to federal, state and provincial regulators, exchanges or other self-regulatory organizations by dissatisfied customers are investigated by such regulatory bodies, and, if pursued by such regulatory body or such customers, may rise to the level of arbitration or disciplinary action. Financial services industry participants like us are also subject to periodic governmental and regulatory audits and inspections that might result in fines or other charges.
From time to time, we or our subsidiaries may be named as defendants in various routine legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory inquiries in the ordinary course of our business. Management believes that the results of these routine legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, or on our operations and cash flows. However, we cannot estimate the legal fees and expenses to be incurred in connection with these routine matters and, therefore, are unable to determine whether these future legal fees and expenses will have a material impact on our operations and cash flows. It is our policy to expense legal and other fees as incurred.
Estate of Toleush Tolmakov Litigation
No material developments regarding this matter occurred in the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except for the following additional risk factors, we believe there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on May 31, 2022.

Risks Related to the Russia/Ukraine Conflict

Risks Related to the Planned Sale of Our Russian Subsidiaries

On October 19, 2022, we announced that we had entered into an agreement to sell our two Russian subsidiaries. While the transaction is expected to be completed in the coming months, the transaction is subject to the approval of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. In addition, o n August 5, 2022, Russia introduced a ban restricting the ability of investors from "unfriendly-states" to exit from investments in businesses in certain Russian industries, which could impair our ability to complete the sale of our Russian subsidiaries. The completion of the planned sale of our Russian subsidiaries is subject to factors outside of our control, and accordingly there can be no assurance that they will be completed within the timeframe we currently expect or at all.

Even if we are able to successfully complete the sale of our Russian subsidiaries, there can be no assurance that such sale will achieve its intended effects. In particular, we expect that the sale of our Russian subsidiaries will reduce our exposure to the current challenging geopolitical circumstances and will enable us to accelerate growth in other markets. We also expect that, following the completion of the sale of the Russian Subsidiaries, a number of existing clients of our Russian subsidiaries will invest in the non-Russian international capital markets going forward through accounts at other companies within our group, subject to appropriate on-boarding for compliance purposes. However, these matters are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. A failure by us to achieve the intended effects of the sale of our Russian subsidiaries could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in future periods.

Risks Related to Our Insurance Businesses

Our Modeling and Assumptions Used in Assessing Risks may Differ Materially from Actual Results .

We use modeling and forecasts to estimate exposures, loss trends and other risks, and to assist us in decision-making related to underwriting, pricing, capital allocation, and other issues associated with our insurance businesses. Our models and forecasts are subject to various unverifiable assumptions, uncertainties, model design errors, complexities and inherent limitations, including those arising from the use of historical internal, industry, and unverified, third-party-provided data and assumptions. If, based upon these models, forecasts or other factors, we misprice our products or fail to correctly estimate the associated risks, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
96
Table of Contents

We also establish and monitor underwriting guidelines and an approval process for assessing and addressing risks and their limits; however, we cannot assure that the assumptions our guidelines and limits are based on, or the analysis of those assumptions, are correct or will accurately reflect future results. As a result, we cannot assure that these guidelines and approval process will be effective in mitigating our underwriting risks.

We may not be Able to Obtain Reinsurance at Required Levels or Prices, or Otherwise Collect on Reinsurance, Which Could Increase our Exposure or Limit our Ability to Write New Business.

The availability and cost of reinsurance are dependent on market conditions beyond our control. As a result, reinsurance may not be continuously available to us to the extent and on the terms we require to write new business. If we cannot obtain reinsurance or purchase reinsurance at acceptable prices, we would have to either accept an increase in our exposure, or reduce our insurance exposure by limiting writing new policies that we think necessitate reinsurance protections, either of which could have a materially adverse effect on our insurance businesses.

Further, our reinsurance programs have counterparty risk that may result in uncollectible claims. Collectability from reinsurers is subject to factors such as whether reinsurers have the financial capacity to make payments, whether insured losses meet the conditions of the reinsurance contract, and whether the reinsurer otherwise disputes coverage. Our inability to recover from reinsurers, for any reason, could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial condition and business prospects.

Risks Related to Our Internal Controls

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and may identify material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

We are required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), which requires management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires management to provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Additionally, we are required to have our independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our independent registered public accounting firm needs to issue an adverse report if there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. When evaluating our internal control over financial reporting, we may identify material weaknesses that we may not be able to remediate prior to the date of our annual management report.

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, after discussion with management, concluded that our (i) previously filed annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 and (ii) previously filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022 (collectively the “Prior Financial Statements”) should no longer be relied upon. The determination resulted from an error in the Prior Financial Statements identified by us during the course of preparing our financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2022, based on inquiries from our newly appointed independent registered public accounting firm. Specifically, we determined that in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the Prior Financial Statements, certain loans issued were presented as “Operating activities” whereas they should have been presented as “Investing activities,” and deposits from banking institutions were presented as “Operating activities” whereas they should have been presented as “Financing activities," and that the misclassification of such cash flows should be restated through amendments to the Prior Financial Statements. We have determined that the misclassification did not have any impact on our operating performance or reported key performance indicators. We will be correcting this misclassification by restating our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows through the amendments of the Prior Financial Statements. We are diligently pursuing completion of the restatement and intend to file an amended annual report on Form 10-K and amended quarterly reports on Form 10-Q as soon as reasonably practicable.

In connection with such error, we have concluded that there is a material weakness in the design of a control activity with respect to the classification of certain loans and deposits from banking institutions within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the
97
Table of Contents
previously filed reports as described above and our internal control over financial reporting was not effective for the previously filed annual report on Form 10-K as described above.

We have commenced measures to remediate the identified material weakness. Until the material weakness is remediated, we will continue to perform additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the newly designed control activity operates for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the control is operating effectively. We can give no assurance that the measures we are taking and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified, or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our internal control over financial reporting, in the future those controls may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements.

Any failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could adversely impact our ability to report our financial position and results of operations on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are inaccurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations and we could face the risk of stockholder litigation. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our common stock is listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Ineffective internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.
