Reasons of annual financial results | The improvement in result for the year, versus the previous year, was due mainly to business growth driving an improved underwriting result and also an increase in investment income. The underwriting result was higher by SR83,127K versus the previous year, representing a 19% increase. Net investment income, for the year ended 31st December 2013, was SR35,474K, compared to a net investment income of SR22,703K for the previous year, representing a 56% increase. These improvements were partially offset by growth related operating expenses higher by SR84,493K, mainly commissions, levies and bad debt provision. Gross Written Premium (GWP) increased by SR983,179K, versus the previous year, representing a 45% increase. |
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 outstanding claims provision has been calculated in accordance with SAMA's implementing regulations and the income per share has been calculated based on profit before zakat and income tax divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (39,741k shares) |
