External auditor's report containing reservation The joint independent auditors report on the annual financial statements mentions that the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and not in accordance with the accounting standards generally accepted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. However the company assures that there are no significant differences in the results contained within the financial statements due to using International Financial Reporting Standards rather than the SOCPA accounting standards.
Other notes The earnings per share for the current year is SR7.90 per share versus the previous year is SR8.07 per share, which has been calculated based on the number of shares issued after the Capital increase to 80,000,000 (eighty million) shares, as was approved during the Extraordinary General Assembly meeting of its shareholders, held Monday 25th of Safar 1437H (Monday 7th December 2015G).

The Company has recorded tax/zakat provision based on the recent circular No. 12746/16/1438 dated 20/4/1438H (18 January 2017) issued by the GAZT, in which Saudi public listed companies are to provide for tax and zakat based on the shareholding percentage of Saudi and non-Saudi shareholders as per the Articles of Association. This circular was issued, subsequent to an earlier circular No. 6768/16/1438 dated 5/3/1438H (4 December 2016), which stated that all Saudi public listed companies are required to provide for tax/zakat based on the nationality of the shareholders at year end and as such the tax and zakat provided at year end as reported in the reviewed financial statements for the twelve-month period ended 31 December 2016 have been adjusted in these financial statements to reflect this change. This change has no impact on the company results.
