Contents of auditors report [abstract]
Nature of auditors opinion	Unmodified opinion
Auditors opinion	We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review ofinterim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity”, that is endorsed in the Kingdomof Saudi Arabia. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of personsresponsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review issubstantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing that areendorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we wouldbecome aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an auditopinion.
Basis of opinion	Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interimcondensed financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as endorsed inthe Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Auditors responsibilities for audit of financial statements	Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interimcondensed financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as endorsed inthe Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
