Statement of the type of external auditor’s report
Qualified opinion
Modification, Qualification or Emphasis of a Matter as Stated within the External Auditor Opinion
Basis for Qualified Opinion- As stated in note 10, the consolidated financial statements include investment in an associate (50% ownership) with a carrying value of SR 319.12 million and share of results of SR 1.52 million as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020 (SR 318.18 million and SR 0.40 million as of and for the year ended 31 December 2019). The associate had trade receivables amounting to SR 48 million, out of which the Group’s share is SR 24 million; that are overdue for more than one year, against which management has not recognized any allowance for expected credit losses. Management was unable to provide us with sufficient appropriate audit evidence to ensure the recoverability of those tradereceivables balances. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to the Group’s share of results in and the carrying value of the associate were necessary for and as of the yearended 31 December 2020.- As stated in note 18, the Group received assessments from the General Authority for Zakat and Tax (GAZT), claiming additional Zakat liabilities of SR 201.9 million in respect of the assessment for prior years against which the Group has filed appeals. It is management’s assertion that they have grounds to contest against items included in the assessments raised by GAZT, that the outcome of the appeals is uncertain at this stage and, therefore, it is not possible to determine the potential Zakat provision. No provision has been made in these consolidated financial statements for the items under appeal and for any potential exposure relating to open years not yet assessed by GAZT. We have not been provided details or basis of certain appeals the assessments, including details of zakat computation and appeals in respect of certain open years and of certain subsidiaries. We are, therefore, unable to determine whether any adjustments are necessary to the Group’s current or prior years’ zakat charges and corresponding liability.Material Uncertainty Related to Going ConcernWe draw attention to note1 to the consolidated financial statements which states that the Group incurred a net loss of SR 55.73 million during the year ended 31 December 2020 and, as of that date, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by SR 34.64 million.These events or conditions, along with other matters, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not further modified in respect of this matter.Other MattersThe consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019 were audited by another auditor who expressed a modified opinion on those financial statements on 30 March 2020.
