Further, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the three-month period ended 31 March 2020 and for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2019 were reviewed by another auditor who expressed a modified review conclusion on those financial statements on 17 June 2020 and 6 November 2019, respectively.ConclusionBased on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
