Unless the context otherwise indicates, references herein to "we", "us", "our", the "Company" or "SRL" are to Scully Royalty Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Unless otherwise indicated, references herein to numbers of our common shares of US$0.001 par value each are referred to as the "Common Shares".

The following report and the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and notes thereto for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto of SRL for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and applicable Canadian securities regulators. Our financial statements for such periods have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This document includes "non-IFRS financial measures", that is, financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. Specifically, we make use of the non-IFRS measure "EBITDA".

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest (finance costs), taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our management uses EBITDA as a measure of our operating results and considers it to be a meaningful supplement to net income as a performance measurement, primarily because we incur significant depreciation and EBITDA eliminates the non-cash impact.

EBITDA is used by investors and analysts for the purpose of valuing an issuer. The intent of EBITDA is to provide additional useful information to investors and the measure does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Accordingly, this measure should not be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. For a reconciliation of net income from continuing operations to EBITDA, please see "Results of Operations".

Disclaimer for Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements in this document are forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, within the meaning of applicable securities laws, which reflect our expectations regarding our future growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities. Forward-looking statements consist of statements that are not purely historical, including statements regarding our business plans, the plans and prospects regarding the mine underlying our royalty interest, future business prospects and any statements regarding beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding the future. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", "believes", variations or comparable language of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "should", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved" or the negative connotation thereof.

(i)

While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. No assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or, if they do occur, what benefits we will obtain from them.

Additional information about these and other assumptions, risks and uncertainties is set out in the "Risk Factors" section of this report and in SRL's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in light of such factors.

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:

We are pleased to present the financial results of Scully Royalty Ltd. for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and provide you with an update on recent corporate developments. All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise provided.

Update on the Scully Mine

Overview

The Company owns a royalty interest in the Scully iron ore mine located in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. This royalty rate entitles the Company to 7.0% of the revenue from iron ore shipped from the mine and 4.2% from shipments derived from tailings and other disposed material, with minimum payments of $3.25 million per annum.

The Scully Iron Ore Mine

Iron ore is a key raw material in steel production, making it essential for global economic development. Its demand and pricing are closely tied to the material needs of integrated steel producers. As steel produced via blast furnaces is subject to cyclical demand patterns, the iron ore market inherently experiences similar fluctuations.

(i)

Location of the Scully Iron Ore Mine

Key Ingredient for Green Steel

The Scully iron ore mine produces premium-grade ore with over 65% iron content and favorable characteristics, including low levels of contaminants such as silica, alumina, and phosphorous. Such high-grade iron ore with minimal impurities is highly valued by steelmakers worldwide, as it enhances both environmental and financial performance through more efficient raw material utilization, higher plant yields, and lower emissions. As a result, the Scully Mine’s high-quality concentrate plays a vital role in supporting the global shift toward "green" steel production. The mine is well-situated to address this growing demand because of, among other things:

Iron ore with 65% Fe content, such as the product from the Scully Iron Ore Mine, typically commands a premium over 62% Fe iron ore due to its superior quality. In the first half of 2024, the Platts 65% Fe index traded at an approximate 11% premium (US$13), with an average price of US$131 per tonne compared to US$118 per tonne for the Platts 62% Fe index.

(ii)

A historical chart of the 65% to 62% Fe premium can be found below:

Tacora Resources

In 2017, Tacora Resources Inc. (“Tacora”) acquired the mine and achieved several milestones, including completing a US$276 million financing and commencing operations at the mine in 2019. Tacora disclosed that the mine has a capacity of six million tonnes per annum and produces what is considered a premium iron ore product, with Fe content in excess of 65%.

Despite nearly four years of continuous production, Tacora filed for reorganization under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”) in October 2023. This decision was driven primarily by challenges related to over-indebtedness.

Tacora’s New Shareholders:

In September 2024, Tacora successfully emerged from CCAA proceedings as a significantly stronger entity. The company restructured with a reduced debt burden, a leaner operating cost profile, and a newly appointed, experienced management team. Most notably, Tacora gained the backing of a new consortium of well-capitalized shareholders, demonstrating a strong commitment to the long-term success and sustainability of the Scully Mine. The consortium of investors consists of (i) Cargill, (ii) Millstreet Capital Management, and (iii) O’Brien Staley Partners. The transaction resulted in a minimum $250 million equity investment in Tacora.

(i)

Cargill

Cargill is the largest privately held company in the United States in terms of revenue. Cargill, Incorporated is committed to providing food, ingredients, agricultural solutions, and industrial products to nourish the world in a safe, responsible, and sustainable manner. With 159 years of experience, Cargill partners with farmers and customers to source, make, and deliver products vital for living.

(ii)

Millstreet Capital Management LLC

Millstreet Capital Management LLC (“Millstreet” or the “Firm”) is a Boston based SEC-registered investment adviser. Millstreet invests on behalf of endowments, foundations and other institutional investors with the goal to compound superior absolute returns that are uncorrelated to traditional asset classes. The firm focuses on exploiting inefficiencies within the small-to-mid cap segment of the high yield and leveraged loan markets. Millstreet had assets under management of almost $3 billion as at December 31, 2023.

(iii)

(iii)

O’Brien Staley Partners

O'Brien-Staley Partners ("OSP") operates across four discrete financial business strategies: alternative asset management, market-rate impact investing, nationwide loan servicing, and deposit management. Founded by Jerry O'Brien and Warren Staley in 2010, OSP is imbued with core credit and fundamental investing discipline, risk management, and governance that are hallmarks of their personal and professional brands. O’Brien Staley Partners had assets under management of almost $2 billion as at December 31, 2023.

Historical Mine Production

The following table sets forth the total iron ore products shipped from the mine in the first half of 2024 and the full years 2023, 2022, and 2021:

The Scully Iron Ore Mine

(iv)

In connection with the closing of the above transaction, Tacora announced a multi-year capital investment and ramp-up plan aimed at restoring the Scully Mine to its historic nameplate production capacity of six million tonnes per annum of high-grade iron ore concentrate. This initiative underscores Tacora’s commitment to optimizing operations and enhancing the mine’s long-term productivity.

Labrador Trough

The Scully Mine is located in the Labrador Trough, one of the world's most resource-rich iron ore mining regions in eastern Canada. Renowned for its extensive high-grade iron ore deposits, including hematite and magnetite, the Labrador Trough offers exceptional long-term mining potential. The region benefits from well-developed infrastructure, such as railways and ports, enabling efficient transportation of ore to key global markets, including Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Canada's stable political environment and supportive regulatory framework further enhance the area's appeal for sustainable and profitable mining operations.

Recent investment activity in the Labrador Trough is encouraging to the Eastern Canadian iron ore industry. For instance, Champion Iron Ore announced a $245 million investment from Nippon Steel and Sojitz for a minority stake in the Kami iron ore mine, located just six kilometers from the Scully Mine. This move underscores the strategic importance of high-grade iron ore assets in geopolitically stable regions and reflects the strong demand among global steel producers for reliable, premium-quality supply sources. These investments highlight the confidence in the Labrador Trough as a leading mining hub and further validate the Scully Mine’s position as a critical asset in the global iron ore market.

II.

Dividends

In 2021, the Company decided to prioritize enhancing shareholder value and maximizing earnings and dividends from its iron ore royalty interest. As part of this commitment, the Company’s board of directors approved the implementation of a cash dividend policy, reinforcing its focus on delivering consistent returns to shareholders.

The Scully Iron Ore Mine

Today, we are pleased to announce that we have resumed our cash dividend policy with the following dividend:

US$0.26 per Common Share to be paid on February 21, 2025 to shareholders of record on January 24, 2024.

The declaration, timing, record date and payment of future dividends will depend on, among other things, royalty payments received, and the Company and the Scully mine operator’s financial condition and operating results.

(v)

III.

Structure

We plan to streamline the Company by gradually divesting non-royalty businesses to focus on our core asset, the Scully Iron Ore Mine royalty. These non-core operations have not delivered returns comparable to those of our royalty interest. Our board believes this strategy offers significant potential benefits, including enhancing shareholder value, simplifying the Company’s corporate structure, and allowing independent business lines to concentrate on their respective operations.

Our goal is to establish the Company as a pure-play royalty entity. The presence of non-core consolidated assets has added unnecessary complexity to this narrative, and we have been committed to addressing it.

As part of our ongoing plan to rationalize assets in non-core segments, in December 2024, we entered into an agreement to divest certain non-core assets. The consideration for this transaction includes debt with a principal amount of $15 million and equity. The continued equity holding allows us to benefit from their future success without retaining control. These assets were included as assets held for sale and related liabilities in our All Other segment as at June 30, 2024, as they met the criteria to be classified as held for sale as at June 30, 2024. Therefore, we reported assets held for sale of $52.3 million and liabilities associated with assets held for sale of $17.4 million as at June 30, 2024, and we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $18.6 million in connection with this transaction in the first half of 2024.

We continue working diligently on this rationalization project and expect to make further progress in 2025 toward simplifying our corporate structure.

IV.

Valuation

Our primary goal and ongoing initiative is to restructure the group in a manner that substantially reduces the discount between the market price of our common shares and our stated net book value per share.

The Scully Iron Ore Mine

In the past few years, we have made substantial progress toward this goal. Today, we more cleanly fit into iron ore royalty peers than ever before:

	Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corporation	Deterra Royalties Ltd.	Mesabi Trust
Ticker	LIF.TO	DRR.AX	MSB
Share Price (12/27/24)	C$29.71	AUD 3.83	US$27.76

Book Value per Share		20.54		21.76

Revenue for the first half of 2024 decreased to $18.1 million from $26.5 million in the same period of 2023, mainly as a result of a decrease in royalty income and disposition of hydrocarbon properties in 2023. Costs of sales and services decreased to $4.4 million from $10.7 million for the same period in 2023, primarily as a result of a merchant banking gain in the first half of 2024.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $11.1 million in the first half of 2024 from $11.6 million in the same period of 2023.

In the first half of 2024, we recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $18.6 million on assets held for sale, compared to a reversal of $1.2 million in the same period of 2023, in connection with the aforementioned rationalization transaction.

Overall, we recognized an income tax expense of $2.9 million (income tax expense of $0.9 million and resource property revenue taxes of $2.0 million) in the first half of 2024, compared to income tax expense of $3.6 million (income tax expense of $0.7 million and resource property revenue taxes of $2.9 million) in the same period of 2023.

In the first half of 2024, our net loss attributable to shareholders was $19.9 million or $1.34 per share on a basic and diluted basis, compared to a net income of $0.9 million or $0.06 per share on a basic and diluted basis in the same period of 2023.

(viii)

As at June 30, 2024, cash decreased to $35.9 million from $78.3 million as at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of the classification of assets as held for sale.

We had short-term securities of $10.3 million as at December 31, 2024 and $13.0 million as at June 30, 2023, which comprised of government and other securities.

Trade receivables and other receivables were $0.2 million and $71.7 million, respectively, as at June 30, 2024, compared to $1.9 million and $67.8 million, respectively, as at December 31, 2023.

We had bonds payable of $36.3 million as at June 30, 2024 and $36.1 million as at December 31, 2023. Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the terms of these bonds were amended to extend their maturity date from August 2026 to August 2033 and increase the interest rate from 4.00% to 5.70% per annum.

As at June 30, 2024, we had deferred income tax liabilities of $54.0 million compared to $58.4 million as at December 31, 2023. These deferred income tax liabilities primarily relate to the difference in the tax basis and the carrying value of our iron ore royalty interest.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Nature of Business

Effective from January 1, 2024, we have revised our operating segments such that we have two primary operating segments, being, (i) Royalty, which includes our interest in an iron ore mine; and (ii) Merchant Banking, which includes merchant banking activities. As a result, we no longer present an Industrial segment in our financial statements. The assets and liabilities underlying this former segment are now reflected in our All Other segment. See "Discussion of Operations - Assets Held for Sale". We also have an "All Other" segment which includes other assets unrelated to our primary segments and otherwise not individually material. See "All Other" below for further information. The changes in segments resulted from dispositions of entities and businesses in previous years. Results for prior periods have been recast herein to reflect this change in presentation.

Management is committed to a plan to rationalize its non-core interests over a period of time and substantial progress has been made to date. These interests have not produced returns commensurate to that of our core royalty asset, and our board of directors believes that these actions provide compelling benefits to our shareholders and to all aspects and businesses of the Company. This plan is expected to simplify the Company's corporate structure by separating its non-strategic assets and allowing the independent business lines to focus on pursuing and operating their respective businesses. Please see "Developments" for further information.

Royalty

We hold a net revenues royalty interest in the Scully iron ore mine located in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The royalty rate under this interest is 7.0% on iron ore shipped from the mine and 4.2% on iron ore shipped from tailings and other disposed materials. The sub-lease commenced in 1956 and expires in 2055. Pursuant to this sub-lease, we hold a net revenues royalty interest on iron ore shipped from the mine. The current operator of the mine commenced mining operations in 2019.

Under the terms of the sub-lease, we are entitled to minimum royalty payments of $3.25 million per year, payable on a quarterly basis, which quarterly payments may be credited towards earned royalties relating to the same calendar year.

Merchant Banking

Our Merchant Banking segment consists of a subsidiary with its bonds listed on the Malta Stock Exchange and comprises regulated merchant banking in Europe, including the activities of the Bank.

The Bank does not engage in general retail or commercial banking, but provides specialty banking services, focused on merchant banking, to our customers, suppliers and group members. Generally, the Bank earns fees from provisions of a range of financial and consultancy services to the customers and investment income.

In addition, we hold interests in two industrial real estate parks in Europe for sale in the ordinary course of business or as investment property.

All Other

The All Other segment includes our corporate and small entities whose quantitative amounts generally are not expected to exceed 10% of any of the following: (a) our reported revenue, including both sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfer; (b) the greater, in absolute amount, of our (i) combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss and (ii) combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported a loss; or (c) our total assets. Actual outcome may occasionally exceed these 10% thresholds, though the excess amounts are not expected to be material.

Developments

Royalty Interest

The mine underlying our royalty interest produces a high-grade ore in excess of 65% iron content that also has other favorable characteristics, such as relatively low contaminant ratios. Globally, steelmakers value high grade iron ore with low contaminants (such as silica, alumina, and phosphorus) because they improve environmental and financial performance through more efficient raw material utilization, higher plant yields, and lower emissions. Therefore, it is common and generally expected for 65% Fe iron ore, including the Scully iron ore mine's product, to sell at a premium to 62% Fe iron ore. In the first half of 2023, the Platts 65% Fe Index sold at approximately a 12% (US$14) premium to the Platts 62% Fe Index.

The following table sets forth the total iron ore products (which include pellets, chips and concentrates) shipped from the mine based upon the amounts reported to us by the Scully iron ore mine for the periods indicated:

	Six Months Ended  June 30,
	2024		2023

	(tonnes)
Iron Ore Products Shipped		1,716,111		1,665,134

In October 2023, the operator of the Scully iron ore mine commenced proceedings under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (the "CCAA"). In September, 2024, it announced the closing of a transaction under the CCAA process led by an investor group including Cargill Incorporated, Millstreet Capital Management and O'Brien-Stalely Partners. The transaction included a $250 million equity injection, a strengthened balance sheet and an improved business plan. It also disclosed that it had entered into new union and rail transport arrangements.

Rationalization of Non-Core Assets

We previously announced our plan to rationalize our non-core assets in order to focus on our royalty business. In December 2024, we entered into an agreement to rationalize certain assets. This included certain assets and liabilities classified as held for sale under our All Other segment. See "Discussion of Operations – Assets Held for Sale. Under the transaction, we will receive total consideration equal to the net tangible asset value of these assets, comprised of a promissory note with a principal amount of $15 million and equity interests in the acquiring company. The note will have a maturity of 10 years and accrues interest at 4.6% per annum. We expect that the transaction will complete in January 2025. As a result of the transaction, these non-core interests will be deconsolidated from our operations on our financial statements and managed and operated by a separate standalone company going forward. We recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $18.6 million in connection with this transaction in our consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Dividend

On the date hereof, we announced that our board of directors has resumed our dividend policy and declared a dividend of US$0.26 per common share to be paid on February 21, 2025 to shareholders of record on January 24, 2025.

The declaration, timing, record date and payment of future dividends will depend on, among other things, royalty payments received.

Discussion of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Business Environment

Our financial performance is, and our consolidated results in any period can be, materially affected by economic conditions and financial markets generally, including the availability of capital, the availability of credit and the level of market and commodity price volatility. Our results of operations in our Merchant Banking segment may also be materially affected by competitive factors. Our competitors include firms traditionally engaged in merchant banking as well as other capital sources such as hedge funds and private equity firms and other companies engaged in similar activities in Europe, Asia and globally.

We operate internationally and therefore our financial performance and position are impacted by changes in the Canadian dollar, our reporting currency, against the other functional currencies of our international subsidiaries and operations, particularly the Euro. As at June 30, 2024, the Canadian dollar was weaker by 0.2% against the Euro from the end of 2023. We recognized a net $2.1 million currency translation adjustment gain under accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a loss of $2.3 million in the comparative period of 2023. In addition, we recognized a net loss of $0.1 million on exchange differences on foreign currency transactions in our consolidated statement of operations in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

In the first half of 2024, the demand for iron ore remained subdued. According to the World Steel Association, global crude steel production in the first half of 2024 increased approximately 0.5% compared to the first half of 2023. The 65% Fe iron ore price, as reported by Platts, decreased modestly to an average US$131 per tonne for the first half of 2024, compared to an average of US$132 in the same period of 2023.

Assets Held for Sale

In 2021, we announced our plan to seek to rationalize various underperforming assets to focus on our core asset, the Scully iron ore royalty. To this end, in the first half of 2024, we determined to proceed towards the rationalization of certain assets and liabilities in our All Other segment. As a result, the assets and related liabilities relating to these businesses were classified as held for sale as at June 30, 2024. In aggregate, the assets held for sale represented approximately 12% (after impairment loss) of our consolidated total assets at June 30, 2024 and generated revenue from third parties of $4.3 million in the first half of 2024. The following sets forth a breakdown of the assets held for sale and related liabilities as of June 30, 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, royalty revenue (which is included in Merchant Banking products and services) represented 58% of total revenue, compared to 57% in the comparative period of 2023.

The following is a breakdown of our revenue by segment for each of the periods indicated:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
	2024		2023
			(Recast)
	(In thousands)
Royalty	$	10,595	$	15,047
Merchant Banking		3,162		3,795
All Other		4,336		7,664
Revenue	$	18,093	$	26,506

In the first half of 2024, 22% of our revenue was from Europe, 66% was from the Americas and 12% was from Asia, Africa and other regions.

In the first half of 2024, our proportionate revenue by product was 84% from iron ore royalties and 16% from other.

Based upon the average exchange rates for the first half of 2024, the Canadian dollar weakened by approximately 0.8% in value against the Euro compared to the same period of 2023.

Revenue for our Royalty segment for the first half of 2024 decreased to $10.6 million from $15.0 million in the same period of 2023, primarily as a result of volatility in iron ore prices.

Revenue for our Merchant Banking segment for the first half of 2024 decreased to $3.2 million from $3.8 million in the same period of 2023.

Revenue for our All Other segment decreased to $4.3 million in the first half of 2024 from $7.7 million in the same period of 2023 primarily as a result of disposition of hydrocarbon properties in March 2023. See "Developments - Rationalization of Non-Core Industrial Assets".

Costs of sales and services decreased to $4.4 million from $10.7 million for the same period in 2023, primarily as a result of a merchant banking gain included in costs of sales and services.

The following is a breakdown of our costs of sales and services for each of the periods indicated:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
	2024			2023

Other		(374	)		2,688
Total costs of sales and services	$	4,366		$	10,724

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred a fair value loss on a long-term loan payable measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") of $0.1 million compared to $0.2 million in the same period of 2023.

In the first half of 2024, we recognized a credit of $0.4 million in other costs of sales and services, compared to expenses of $2.7 million in the same period of 2023. A non-cash gain of $3.6 million in connection with the deconsolidation of a former subsidiary was included in other costs of sales and services in the first half of 2024.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $11.1 million in the first half of 2024 from $11.6 million in the same period of 2023.

In the first half of 2024, we recognized a net foreign currency transaction loss of $0.1 million, compared to $0.1 million in the same period of 2023, in our consolidated statement of operations. The foreign currency transaction gain or loss represents exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items into our functional currencies at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements.

We recognized an income tax expense (other than resource revenue taxes) of $0.9 million in the first half of 2024, compared to $0.7 million in the same period of 2023. Our income tax paid in cash, excluding resource property revenue taxes, during the first half of 2024 was $0.3 million, compared to $0.3 million income tax paid in cash in the same period of 2023. We also recognized resource property revenue tax expense of $2.0 million in the first half of 2024, compared to $2.9 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was a result of the lower royalty revenue in the current period.

In the first half of 2024, our EBITDA was negative $12.2 million, which included a non-cash impairment loss of $18.6 million in connection with assets held for sale, compared to EBITDA of $9.1 million in the first half of 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Liquidity is of importance to our business as insufficient liquidity often results in underperformance.

Our objectives when managing capital are:

to safeguard our ability to continue as a going concern;

to position ourselves to generate returns for and distribute dividends to our shareholders; and

to maintain a flexible capital structure that optimizes the cost of capital at acceptable risk.

We set the amount of capital in proportion to risk. We manage our capital structure and make adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.

Consistent with others in our industry, we monitor capital on the basis of our net debt-to-equity ratio and long-term debt-to-equity ratio. The net debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as net debt divided by shareholders' equity. Net debt is calculated as total debt less cash. The long-term debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as long-term debt divided by shareholders' equity.

The following table sets forth the calculation of our net debt-to-equity ratio as at the dates indicated:

	June 30,			December 31,
	2024			2023

	(In thousands, except ratio amounts)
Total debt⁽¹⁾	$	36,272		$	36,107

Shareholders' equity		304,495			322,459
Net debt-to-equity ratio		0.1	%		Not applicable

Note:

(1)

Long-term debt at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 included bonds payable and did not include: (a) a non-interest bearing loan payable of $nil as at June 30, 2024 and $7.6 million as at December 31, 2023 which is measured at FVTPL and does not have a fixed repayment date. See "Financial Position"; and (b) long-term lease liabilities of $nil as at June 30, 2024 and $3,000 as at December 31, 2023, recognized as a consequence of IFRS 16, Leases.

There were no amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income relating to cash flow hedges, nor were there any subordinated debt instruments as at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Our net debt-to-equity was 0.1% as at June 30, 2024 and not applicable as at December 31, 2023 as we had a net cash balance as at December 31, 2023.

The following table sets forth the calculation of our long-term debt-to-equity ratio as at the dates indicated:

	June 30,		December 31,

Long-term debt, less current portion⁽¹⁾	$	36,272	$	36,107
Shareholders' equity		304,495		322,459
Long-term debt-to-equity ratio		0.12		0.11

Note:

(1)	See note in table above.

During the first half of 2024, our strategy, which remained unchanged from the same period of 2023, was to maintain our net debt-to-equity ratio and long-term debt-to-equity ratio at manageable levels. Our long-term debt-to-equity ratio was 0.12 as at June 30, 2024 and 0.11 as at December 31, 2023.

Cash Flows

Our business can be cyclical and our cash flows can vary accordingly. Our principal operating cash expenditures are for general and administrative expenses.

Working capital levels fluctuate throughout the year and are affected by the level of operations of the mine underlying our royalty interest, the markets and prices for commodities, the timing of collection of receivables and the payment of payables and expenses. We currently have a sufficient level of cash on hand and expected cash flows from operations to meet our working capital and other requirements as well as unexpected cash demands.

The following table presents a summary of cash flows for each of the periods indicated:

	Six Months Ended

We maintain an adequate level of liquidity, with a portion of our assets held in cash. This provides us with flexibility in managing our continuing business.

As at June 30, 2024, cash decreased to $35.9 million from $78.3 million as at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of the classification of assets as held for sale. See "- Assets Held for Sale" for further information.

We had short-term securities of $10.3 million as at June 30, 2024 and $13.0 million as at December 31, 2023 and, which comprised of government and other securities.

Trade receivables and other receivables were $0.2 million and $71.7 million, respectively, as at June 30, 2024, compared to $1.9 million and $67.8 million, respectively, as at December 31, 2023. Trade receivables primarily consisted of product sales from our Merchant Banking and All Other segments. Included in other receivables were receivables of $18.2 million related to our iron ore royalty interest. Other receivables included balances of $48.9 million as at June 30, 2024 from a related party. See "Transactions with Related Parties" for further information.

Deposits, prepaid and other assets were $1.2 million as at June 30, 2024 and $1.4 million as at December 31, 2023.

Inventories were $nil as at June 30, 2024 and $1.2 million as at December 31, 2023. The decrease primarily resulted from the classification of assets as held for sale.

Current tax receivables, consisting primarily of value-added taxes and income tax recovery, were $0.5 million as at June 30, 2024 and $0.6 million as at December 31, 2023.

As at June 30, 2024, we had assets held for sale of $52.3 million, compared to $nil as at December 31, 2023. See "Discussion of Operations - Assets Held for Sale".

Account payables and accrued expenses were $12.5 million as at June 30, 2024, compared to $16.0 million as at December 31, 2023.

We had current income tax liabilities of $1.0 million as at June 30, 2024, compared to $4.5 million as at December 31, 2023.

As at June 30, 2024, we had deferred income tax liabilities of $54.0 million compared to $58.4 million as at December 31, 2023. These deferred income tax liabilities primarily relate to difference in the tax basis and the carrying value of our iron ore royalty.

Future Liquidity

To achieve the long-term goals of expanding our assets and earnings, including through acquisitions, capital resources may be required. Depending on the size of a transaction, the capital resources that will be required may be substantial. The necessary resources will be generated from cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings against our assets, sales of proprietary investments or the issuance of securities.

Foreign Currency

Our consolidated financial results are subject to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Our presentation currency is the Canadian dollar. We translate subsidiaries' assets and liabilities into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at exchange rates approximating those at the date of the transactions or, for practical reasons, the average exchange rates for the applicable periods, when they approximate the exchange rate as at the dates of the transactions. As a substantial amount of revenue is generated in Euros, the financial position for any given period, when reported in Canadian dollars, can be significantly affected by the exchange rates for these currencies prevailing during that period. In addition, we also have exposure to the Chinese yuan and the United States dollar.

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, we reported a net $2.1 million currency translation adjustment gain under other comprehensive income within equity. This compared to a net loss of $2.3 million in the same period of 2023. This currency translation adjustment does not affect our profit and loss statement until the disposal of a foreign operation.

Risk Management

Risk is an inherent part of our business and operating activities. The extent to which we properly and effectively identify, assess, monitor and manage each of the various types of risk involved in our activities is critical to our financial soundness and profitability. We seek to identify, assess, monitor and manage the following principal risks involved in our business activities: market, credit, liquidity, operational, legal and compliance, new business, reputational and other. Risk management is a multi-faceted process that requires communication, judgment and knowledge of financial products and markets. Our management takes an active role in the risk management process and requires specific administrative and business functions to assist in the identification, assessment and control of various risks. Our risk management policies, procedures and methodologies are fluid in nature and are subject to ongoing review and modification.

Inflation

Inflation has had a minimal impact on our costs of sales and services and selling, general administrative expenses over the last two fiscal years. Our management does not consider inflation to be a significant risk to direct expenses in the current and foreseeable economic environment.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires our 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.

Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the probable future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. We have identified certain accounting policies that are the most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Please refer to Note 2B to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, for a discussion of the material accounting policies.

In the process of applying our accounting policies, management makes various judgments and estimates that can significantly affect the amounts it recognizes in the consolidated financial statements. The following is a description of the critical judgments and estimates that management has made in the process of applying our accounting policies and that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

Identification of Cash-generating Units

Our assets are aggregated into cash-generating units, referred to as "CGUs", for the purpose of assessing and calculating impairment, based on their ability to generate largely independent cash flows. The determination of CGUs requires judgment in defining the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. CGUs have been determined based on similar geological structure, shared infrastructure, geographical proximity, product type and similar exposure to market risks. In the event facts and circumstances surrounding factors used to determine our CGUs change, we will re-determine the groupings of CGUs.

Impairment and Reversals of Impairment on Non-Financial Assets

The carrying amounts of our non-financial assets, other than assets held for sale and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is an indication of impairment or reversal of previously recorded impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated.

Determining whether there are any indications of impairment or impairment reversals requires significant judgment of external factors, such as an extended change in prices or margins for iron ore, a significant change in an asset’s market value, a significant revision of estimated volumes, revision of future development costs, a change in the entity's market capitalization or significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that would have an impact on our CGUs. Given that the calculations for recoverable amounts require the use of estimates and assumptions, including forecasts of commodity prices, market supply and demand, product margins and in the case of our interests in an iron ore mine and power plant, expected production volumes, it is possible that the assumptions may change, which may impact the estimated life of the CGU and may require a material adjustment to the carrying value of non-financial assets.

Impairment losses recognized in prior years are assessed at the end of each reporting period for indications that the impairment has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset or CGU does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, depletion and amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Valuation of Investment Property

Investment properties are included in the consolidated statement of financial position at their market value, unless their fair value cannot be reliably determined at that time. The market value of investment properties is assessed annually by an independent qualified valuer, who is an authorized expert for the valuation of developed and undeveloped land in Germany, after taking into consideration the net income with inputs on realized basic rents, operating costs and damages and defects. The assumptions adopted in the property valuations are based on the market conditions existing at the end of the reporting period, with reference to current market sales prices and the appropriate capitalization rate. Changes in any of these inputs or incorrect assumptions related to any of these items could materially impact these valuations.

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

We apply judgment to determine whether an asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition and that its sale is highly probable and therefore should be classified as held for sale at the balance sheet date. In order to assess whether it is highly probable that the sale can be completed within one year, or the extension period in certain circumstances, management reviews the business and economic factors, both macro and micro, which include the industry trends and capital markets, and the progress towards a sale transaction. It is also open to all forms of sales, including exchanges of non-current assets for other non-current assets when the exchange will have commercial substance in accordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment.

Credit Losses and Impairment of Receivables

We apply credit risk assessment and valuation methods to our trade and other receivables under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, which establishes a single forward-looking expected loss impairment model.

We measure the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. The objective of the impairment requirements is to recognize lifetime expected credit losses for all financial instruments for which there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition – whether assessed on an individual or collective basis – considering all reasonable and supportable information, including that which is forward-looking.

At each reporting date, our management assesses whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. When making the assessment, management uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument instead of the change in the amount of expected credit losses. To make that assessment, management compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and consider reasonable and supportable information, that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition.

Allowance for credit losses is maintained at an amount considered adequate to absorb the expected credit losses. Such allowance for credit losses reflects our management's best estimate of changes in the credit risk on our financial instruments and judgments about economic conditions. The assessment of allowance for credit losses is a complex process, particularly on a forward-looking basis; which involves a significant degree of judgment and a high level of estimation uncertainty. The input factors include the assessment of the credit risk of our financial instruments, legal rights and obligations under all the contracts and the expected future cash flows from the financial instruments, which include inventories, mortgages and other credit enhancement instruments. The major source of estimation uncertainty relates to the likelihood of the various scenarios under which different amounts are expected to be recovered through the security in place on the financial assets. The expected future cash flows are projected under different scenarios and weighted by probability, which involves the exercise of significant judgment. Estimates and judgments could change in the near-term and could result in a significant change to a recognized allowance.

Interests in Resource Properties and Reserve Estimates

We had interests in resource properties comprised of an iron ore royalty interest with an aggregate gross carrying amount of $194.1 million as at June 30, 2024.

Generally, estimation of reported recoverable quantities of proved and probable reserves of resource properties include judgmental assumptions regarding production profile, prices of products produced, exchange rates, remediation costs, timing and amount of future development costs and production, transportation and marketing costs for future cash flows. It also requires interpretation of geological and geophysical models and anticipated recoveries. The economical, geological and technical factors used to estimate reserves may change from period to period. Changes in reported reserves can impact the carrying amounts of our interests in resource properties and/or related property, plant and equipment, the recognition of impairment losses and reversal of impairment losses, the calculation of depletion and depreciation, the provision for decommissioning obligations and the recognition of deferred income tax assets or liabilities due to changes in expected future cash flows. The recoverable quantities of reserves are independently evaluated by reserve engineers at least annually. In the first half of 2024, we did not recognize any impairment in respect of our interests in resource properties.

Our iron ore reserves are estimates of the amount of product that can be economically and legally extracted from our mining properties. Reserve and resource estimates are an integral component in the determination of the commercial viability of our interest in the iron ore mine, amortization calculations and impairment analyses. In calculating reserves and resources, estimates and assumptions are required about a range of geological, technical and economic factors, including quantities, grades, production techniques, production decline rates, recovery rates, production costs, commodity demand, commodity prices and exchange rates. In addition, future changes in regulatory environments, including government levies or changes in our rights to exploit the resource imposed over the producing life of the reserves and resources may also significantly impact estimates.

Please see Note 12 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 for further information.

Impairment of Other Non-Financial Assets

We had property, plant and equipment aggregating $1.7 million as at June 30, 2024, consisting mainly of office improvement and equipment. Impairment of our non-financial assets is evaluated at the CGU level. In testing for impairment, the recoverable amounts of the Company's CGUs are determined as the higher of their values in use and fair values less costs of disposal. In the absence of quoted market prices, the recoverable amount is based on estimates of future production rates, future product selling prices and costs, discount rates and other relevant assumptions. Increases in future costs and/or decreases in estimates of future production rates and selling prices may result in a write-down of our property, plant and equipment. Please see Note 11 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 for further information.

Taxation

We are subject to tax in a number of jurisdictions and judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences using the liability method, with deferred income tax liabilities generally being provided for in full (except for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and branches where we are able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future) and deferred income tax assets being recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Our operations and organization structures are complex, and related tax interpretations, regulations and legislation are continually changing. The income tax filings of the companies in our group are subject to audit by taxation authorities in numerous jurisdictions. There are audits in progress and items under review, some of which may increase our income tax liabilities for previous periods or in the future. In addition, the companies have filed appeals and have disputed certain issues. While the results of these items cannot be ascertained at this time, we believe that we have an adequate provision for income taxes based on available information.

We recognized deferred income tax assets of $9.5 million as at June 30, 2024. In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, our management considers whether it is probable that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible or before tax loss and tax credit carry-forwards expire. Our management considers the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, taxable income in prior years and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period.

We provide for future income tax liabilities in respect of uncertain tax positions where additional income tax may become payable in future periods and such provisions are based on our management's assessment of exposure. We did not recognize the full deferred tax liability on taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and branches where we are able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. We may change our investment decision in the normal course of our business, thus resulting in additional income tax liabilities.

Contingencies

Pursuant to IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, we do not recognize a contingent liability. By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. If it becomes probable that an outflow of future economic benefits will be required for an item previously accounted for as a contingent liability, an accrual or a provision is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the change in probability occurs. See Note 22 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 for further information.

Accounting Changes in 2024

We adopted the following accounting amendments effective January 1, 2024:

Amendments to IAS 1- Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, which were issued in 2020, clarifying the classification requirements in the standard for liabilities as current or non-current. Amendments to IAS 1, Non-current Liabilities with Covenants, which were issued in 2022, modifying the 2020 amendments to IAS 1, Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current, to further clarify the classification, presentation, and disclosure requirements in the standard for non-current liabilities with covenants and deferring the effective date of the 2020 amendments to IAS 1, Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current, to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024.

Amendments to IFRS 16, Leases - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback, clarifying subsequent measurement requirements for sale and leaseback transactions for sellers-lessees. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024.

The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on our interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements ("IFRS 18"), which aims to improve financial reporting by: (i) requiring additional defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss; (ii) requiring disclosures about management-defined performance measures; and (iii) adding new principles for grouping (aggregation and disaggregation) of information.

IFRS 18 aims to improve how companies communicate in their financial statements, with a focus on information about financial performance in the statement of profit or loss. IFRS 18 is accompanied by limited amendments to the requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. Requirements in IAS 1 that are unchanged have been transferred to IFRS 18 and other Standards. IFRS 18 does not affect how companies measure financial performance.

The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier adoption permitted. Our management is currently assessing the impacts of the new standard on the presentation and disclosures of our financial performance.

In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7) in response to feedback received as part of the post-implementation review of the classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and related requirements in IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

The IASB amended to the requirements related to: (i) settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system; and (ii) assessing contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets, including those with environmental, social and governance (ESG)-linked features.

The IASB also amended disclosure requirements relating to investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income and added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with earlier adoption permitted. The new requirements will be applied retrospectively with an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Prior periods are not required to be restated. Our management is currently assessing the impacts of these amendments.

Transactions with Related Parties

In the normal course of operations, we enter into transactions with related parties, which include affiliates in which we have a significant equity interest (10% or more) or have the ability to influence their operating and financing policies through significant shareholding, representation on the board of directors, corporate charter and/or bylaws.

From time to time we have entered into arrangements with a related company to assist us to comply with various local regulations and requirements, including the economic substance legislation, as well as fiscal efficiency. These arrangements are implemented at cost, and no economic benefit is received or accrued by the related party. Under these arrangements, as at June 30, 2024, there were balances in other receivables of $48.9 million.

In addition, under these arrangements, during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, we reimbursed such company $0.2 million but recovered $0.4 million, respectively, for expenses at cost.

As set forth in the table above, we had royalty expenses of $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 that were paid to a company in which we hold a minority interest and that is a subsidiary of the operator of the underlying mine.

Financial and Other Instruments

We are exposed to various market risks from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices that may affect our results of operations and financial condition and, consequently, our fair value. Generally, our management believes that our current financial assets and financial liabilities, due to their short-term nature, do not pose significant financial risks. We use various financial instruments to manage our exposure to various financial risks. The policies for controlling the risks associated with financial instruments include, but are not limited to, standardized company procedures and policies on matters such as hedging of risk exposures, avoidance of undue concentration of risk and requirements for collateral (including letters of credit) to mitigate credit risk. We have risk managers to perform audits and checking functions to ensure that company procedures and policies are complied with.

We use derivative instruments to manage certain exposures to commodity price and currency exchange rate risks. The use of derivative instruments depends on our management's perception of future economic events and developments. These types of derivatives are often very volatile, as they are highly leveraged, given that margin requirements are relatively low in proportion to their notional amounts.

Many of our strategies, including the use of derivative instruments and the types of derivative instruments selected by us, are based on historical trading patterns and correlations and our management's expectations of future events. However, these strategies may not be fully effective in all market environments or against all types of risks. Unexpected market developments may affect our risk management strategies during this time, and unanticipated developments could impact our risk management strategies in the future. If any of the variety of instruments and strategies we utilize are not effective, we may incur losses.

Please refer to Note 25 of our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, for a qualitative and quantitative discussion of our exposure to market risks and the sensitivity analysis of interest rate, currency and other price risks at December 31, 2023.

Outstanding Share Data

Our authorized share capital consists of US$450,000 divided into 300,000,000 Common Shares and 150,000,000 preference shares divided into US$0.001 par value each. Our Common Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "SRL". As of June 30, 2024, we had 14,822,251 Common Shares and 1,839,977 stock options issued and outstanding.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in provincial securities legislation. We evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as defined under National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers, referred to as "NI 52-109", as at June 30, 2024. This evaluation was performed by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We maintain internal controls over financial reporting that have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of external financial reporting in accordance with IFRS.

Management, including our then Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In conducting this evaluation, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013).

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations and is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

Legal Proceedings

We are subject to routine litigation incidental to our business and are named from time to time as a defendant in various legal actions arising in connection with our activities, certain of which may include large claims for punitive damages. Further, due to the size, complexity and nature of our operations, various legal and tax matters are outstanding from time to time, including audits and reassessments and litigation related thereto.

The Company and certain subsidiaries have been named as defendants in a legal action relating to a guarantee of a former parent. Management believes that such claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend such claim. Currently, based upon the information available to management, management does not believe that there will be a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations as a result of this action. However, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, the Company cannot provide certainty as to the outcome. The claim amounted to approximately $118.4 million (€80.8 million), plus interest and costs, as at June 30, 2024, compared to $118.1 million (€80.8 million), plus interest and costs, as at December 31, 2023.

Currently, based upon information available to us, we do not believe any such matters would have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition or results of operations as at June 30, 2024. However, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, we cannot provide certainty as to their outcome. If our current evaluations are materially incorrect or if we are unable to resolve any of these matters favourably, there may be a material adverse impact on our financial performance, cash flows or results of operations. Please see Note 22 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 for further information.

Risk Factors

Statements in this report that are not reported financial results or other historical information are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities legislation including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements appear in a number of different places in this report and can be identified by words such as "anticipate", "could", "project", "should", "expect", "seek", "may", "intend", "likely", "will", "plan", "estimate", "believe" and similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook or their negative or other comparable words. Also, discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties share this "forward-looking" character.

There are a number of important factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could harm our business, operating or financial condition or that could cause actual conditions, events or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

our financial results may fluctuate substantially from period to period;

a weakening of the global economy, including capital and credit markets, could adversely affect our business and financial results and have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources;

our business is highly competitive;

if we are unable to compete effectively with our competitors, our business and results of operations will be adversely affected;

our earnings and, therefore, our profitability may be affected by price volatility in our various products;

we may face a lack of suitable acquisition, merger or other proprietary investment candidates, which may limit our growth;

the operation of the iron ore mine underlying our royalty interest is generally determined by a third-party operator and we currently have no decision-making power as to how the property is operated. In addition, we have no or very limited access to technical or geological data respecting the mine, including as to mineralization or reserves. The operator's failure to perform or other operating decisions could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, results of operations and financial condition;

our activities are subject to counterparty risks associated with the performance of obligations by our counterparties;

we are subject to transaction risks that may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow;

our risk management strategies may leave us exposed to unidentified or unanticipated risks that could impact our risk management strategies in the future and could negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition;

if the fair values of our long-lived assets or their recoverable amounts fall below our carrying values, we would be required to record non-cash impairment losses that could have a material impact on our results of operations;

a significant portion of our revenue comes from our iron ore royalty interest, which means that adverse developments at this project could have a more significant and lasting impact on our results of operations than if our revenue was less concentrated;

the value and revenue from our royalty interest are subject to many of the risks faced by the operator of the underlying project;

derivative transactions may expose us to unexpected risk and potential losses;

the operations of our banking subsidiary are subject to regulation, which could adversely affect our business and operations;

any failure to remain in compliance with sanctions, anti-money laundering laws or other applicable regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate could harm our reputation and/or cause us to become subject to fines, sanctions or legal enforcement, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations;

fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates may affect our results of operations and financial condition;

limitations on our access to capital could impair our liquidity and our ability to conduct our business;

we may substantially increase our debt in the future;

as a result of our global operations, we are exposed to political, economic, legal, operational and other risks that could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow;

we are exposed to litigation risks in our business that are often difficult to assess or quantify and we could incur significant legal expenses every year in defending against litigation;

we rely significantly on the skills and experience of our executives and the loss of any of these individuals may harm our business;

we conduct business in countries with a history of corruption and transactions with foreign governments and doing so increases the risks associated with our international activities;

future environmental and reclamation obligations respecting our resource properties and interests may be material;

we face various risks related to health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks, which could have material adverse effects on our business, results of operations or financial position;

strategic investments or acquisitions and joint ventures, or our entry into new business areas, may result in additional risks and uncertainties in our business;

tax audits or disputes, or changes in the tax laws applicable to us, could materially increase our tax payments;

restrictions on the remittance of Renminbi into and out of China and governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to pay dividends and other obligations, and affect the value of your investment;

failures or security breaches of our information technology systems could disrupt our operations and negatively impact our business;

investors' interests may be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue additional shares or raise funds through the sale of equity securities;

certain factors may inhibit, delay or prevent a takeover of our company, which may adversely affect the price of our common shares;

any future weaknesses or deficiencies or failures to maintain internal controls or remediate weaknesses could impair our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements; and

investors may face difficulties in protecting their interests, and their ability to protect their rights through United States courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

Additional Information

We file annual and other reports, proxy statements and other information with certain Canadian securities regulatory authorities and with the SEC in the United States. The documents filed with the SEC are available to the public from the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.

References to "US$" herein are to United States dollars.

This interim financial report has been prepared by Scully in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB"). The interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are in compliance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"). Except those accounting changes in 2024 as indicated in Notes 3 and 4, the same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these interim consolidated financial statements as compared with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements. In accordance with IAS 34, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted or condensed.

The measurement procedures to be followed in an interim financial report are designed to ensure that the resulting information is reliable and that all material financial information that is relevant to an understanding of the financial position or performance is appropriately disclosed. While measurements in both annual and interim financial reports are often based on reasonable estimates, the preparation of the interim financial report generally requires a greater use of estimation methods than the annual financial report.

Certain amounts in the comparative period have been recast so as to conform with the presentation in the current period.

In the opinion of Scully, its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary in order to present a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Scully 's latest annual report on Form 20-F. The results for the periods presented herein are not indicative of the results for the entire year. The revenues from iron ore royalty activities involve seasonality and cyclicality.

(Unaudited)

Note 3. Accounting Policy Developments (Continued)

The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on our interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Future Accounting Changes

IFRS 18 aims to improve how companies communicate in their financial statements, with a focus on information about financial performance in the statement of profit or loss. IFRS 18 is accompanied by limited amendments to the requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. Requirements in IAS 1 that are unchanged have been transferred to IFRS 18 and other standards. IFRS 18 does not affect how companies measure financial performance.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with earlier adoption permitted. The new requirements will be applied retrospectively with an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Prior periods are not required to be restated. Management is currently assessing the impacts of these amendments.

Note 4. Business Segment Information

Effective from the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024, the internal organization structure changed in a manner that causes the composition of its reportable segments to change. The change primarily resulted from the disposition of certain entities in prior years which made a former segment insignificant on a going-forward basis and, thus, its operating results are no longer regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. The Company's assets include its iron ore royalty, financial services and other proprietary investments. In addition, the merchant banking subsidiaries seek to invest in businesses or assets whose intrinsic value is not properly reflected. These activities are generally not passive, as the merchant banking subsidiaries seek investments where their financial expertise and management can add or unlock value.

There are two separate and independently managed operating subgroups underneath the corporate umbrella. In reporting to management, these operating results are currently categorized into the following operating segments: Royalty, Merchant Banking and All Other segments which include corporate activities. The total external revenue reported by the royalty and merchant banking segments generally constitutes more than 75% of revenue. As a result of the changes in the structure of its internal organization, the corresponding information for earlier period has been recast.

Basis of Presentation

In reporting segments, certain business lines have been aggregated where they have similar economic characteristics and are similar in each of the following areas: (a) the nature of the products and services; (b) the methods of distribution; and (c) the types or classes of customers/clients for the products and services.

The Royalty segment includes an interest in the Scully iron ore mine in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The Merchant Banking segment has a subsidiary with its bonds listed on the Malta Stock Exchange and comprises regulated merchant banking businesses with a focus on Europe. In addition, the Merchant Banking segment holds two industrial real estate parks in Europe.

The All Other segment includes corporate and small entities whose quantitative amounts generally are not expected to exceed 10% of any of the following: (a) the reported revenue, including both sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfer; (b) the greater, in absolute amount, of the (i) combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss and (ii) combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported a loss; or (c) the total assets. Actual outcomes may occasionally exceed these 10% thresholds, though the excess amounts are not expected to be material.

Note 4. Business Segment Information (Continued)

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of material accounting policies in Note 2B to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The chief operating decision maker evaluates performance on the basis of income or loss from operations before income taxes and does not consider acquisition accounting adjustments in assessing the performance of the reporting segments. The segment information presented below is prepared according to the following methodologies: (a) revenue and expenses directly associated with each segment are included in determining pre-tax earnings; (b) intersegment sales and transfers are accounted for as if the sales or transfers were to third parties at current market prices; (c) certain selling, general and administrative expenses paid by corporate, particularly incentive compensation and share-based compensation, are not allocated to reporting segments; (d) all intercompany investments, receivables and payables are eliminated in the determination of each segment’s assets and liabilities; (e) deferred income tax assets and liabilities are not allocated; and (f) gains or losses on dispositions of subsidiaries which include reclassification of realized cumulative translation adjustments from equity to profit or loss on disposals of subsidiaries and write-offs of intercompany accounts are allocated to corporate and included within the All Other segment.

Litigation

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to routine litigation incidental to its business and is named from time to time as a defendant and is a plaintiff from time to time in various legal actions arising in connection with its activities, certain of which may include large claims for punitive damages. Further, due to the size, complexity and nature of operations, various legal and tax matters are outstanding from time to time, including periodic audit by various tax authorities.

The Company and certain subsidiaries have been named as defendants in a legal action relating to a guarantee of the former parent. Management believes that such claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend such claim. Currently, based upon the information available to management, management does not believe that there will be a material adverse effect on financial position or results of operations as a result of this action. However, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there cannot be certainty as to the outcome. The claim amounted to approximately $118,405 (€80,773), plus interest and costs, as at June 30, 2024, compared to $118,139 (€80,773), plus interest and costs, as at December 31, 2023.

If management's current assessments are incorrect or if management is unable to resolve any of these matters favourably, there may be a material adverse impact on financial performance, cash flows or results of operations.

Note 10. Subsequent Events

Extension of Maturity Date of Non-current Bonds Payable

A subsidiary in the Merchant Banking segment currently has outstanding secured bonds payable with a total nominal value of €25,000, redeemable in August 2026.

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, holders of the secured bonds held a meeting in August 2024 whereby a majority of bondholders holding greater than 66 2/3% in nominal value of the bonds resolved and approved (1) an increase in the interest rate payable on the bonds from 4.00% to 5.70% per annum and (2) a 7-year extension of the term (maturity date) of the bonds to August 2033.

Royalty

In October 2023, the operator of the mine underlying the iron ore royalty interest commenced proceedings under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA"). In September, 2024, it announced the closing of a transaction under the CCAA process led by an investor group including Cargill Incorporated, Millstreet Capital Management and O'Brien-Stalely Partners. The transaction included a $250 million equity injection. The operator also disclosed that it had entered into new union and rail transport arrangements.

Note 10. Subsequent Events (Continued)

Assets Held for Sale

Management applies judgment to determine whether an asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition and that its sale is highly probable and therefore should be classified as held for sale at the date of the statement of financial position. In order to assess whether it is highly probable that the sale can be completed within one year, or the extension period in certain circumstances, management reviews the business and economic factors, both macro and micro, which include the industry trends and capital markets, and the progress towards a sale transaction. It is also open to all forms of sales, including exchanges of non-current assets for other non-current assets when the exchange will have commercial substance in accordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment.

In 2021, management announced its plan to rationalize certain underperforming assets. Management progressed this plan in 2024 and in December 2024 entered into an agreement to rationalize certain assets. Pursuant to the transaction, total consideration will be equal to the net tangible asset value of these assets and comprised of a promissory note with a principal amount of $15 million and equity interests in the acquiring company. The note will have a maturity of 10 years. Management expects that this transaction will complete in January 2025.

Since the board of directors was committed to a plan to sell these assets and an active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan was initiated by June 30, 2024, these assets are classified as held for sale in the consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2024. Management did not consider these assets held for sale to be discontinued operations because (i) the assets did not form a separate segment at the time of their classification as assets held for sale, and (ii) they did not form a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations. Management, when exercising its judgments in terms of the assets’ contribution to net loss, total assets and net assets, concluded that this disposition was not a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations. Based on the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024, on an individual entity basis, none of these entities exceeded 10% of any of: (a) reported revenue, including both sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfer; and (b) total assets. In aggregate, the assets held for sale represented 16% of consolidated total assets. These assets held for sale generated revenue from third parties of $4,332, loss before taxes of $596 and a net loss of $292 during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The assets held for sale and related liabilities as of June 30, 2024 comprised:

Cash	$	32,015
Securities		3,471
Receivables and other		8,668
Other current assets		1,914
PP&E		23,870
Other non-current assets		931
Provision for impairment loss		(18,579	)
Total Assets		52,290
Current liabilities		(3,431	)
Non-current loan payable		(7,987	)
Deferred tax liabilities		(5,788	)
Other non-current liabilities		(146	)
Total Liabilities		(17,352	)
Net		34,938

All intercompany assets and liabilities have been eliminated. The impairment loss of $18,579 was included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The disposal group is presented in All Other reportable segment.

Cash Dividends

The board of directors has resumed the dividend policy and announced a dividend of US$0.26 per common share to be paid on February 21, 2025 to shareholders of record on January 24, 2025.
