Statement of the type of external auditor's report Qualified conclusion
Modification, Qualification or Emphasis of a Matter as Stated within the External Auditor Opinion BASIS FOR QUALIFIED OPINION

‎1.‎As indicated in Note No. (6) and Note ‎No. (20) of the accompanying ‎condensed interim financial statements, ‎which indicate that the company has ‎changed during the period ended 30 ‎June 2023 the accounting policy ‎related to the measurement of ‎investment properties from the cost ‎model to the fair value model. As a ‎result, investment properties appeared ‎in the condensed interim financial ‎position statement as at 30 September ‎‎2023 amounting to SR 44.5 million (31 ‎December 2022: SR 31.9 million) (1 ‎January 2022: SR 26.7 million), and the ‎change in fair value appeared in the ‎statement of financial position. Profit ‎or loss and other comprehensive ‎income for the nine-month periods ‎ended 30 September 2023 amounted to ‎SR 12.6 million (2022: SR 16.2 ‎million). We were not able to obtain ‎sufficient appropriate evidence and ‎complete our review of the fair value of ‎the investment properties as at 30 ‎September 2023, 31 December 2022 ‎and 1 January 2022, and the change in ‎fair value for the three and nine-month ‎periods ended 30 September 2023 and ‎‎30 September 2022. Accordingly, we ‎were unable to determine whether any ‎adjustments to these amounts are ‎necessary.‎

‎2.‎As indicated in Note No. (7) of the ‎accompanying condensed interim ‎financial statements, which indicates ‎the inability of the company's ‎management to reach the fair value of ‎the fish at 31 December 2022 due to the ‎lack of appropriate tools for the ‎inventory process, and accordingly it ‎was shown at a cost of SR 20.7 million ‎as shown on that date. This constitutes ‎a departure from the requirements of ‎the financial reporting framework. We ‎were unable to access relevant ‎financial information regarding the fair ‎value of fish in the condensed interim ‎statement of financial position as at 31 ‎December 2022 and the change in fair ‎value of fish in the statement of profit ‎or loss and other comprehensive ‎income for the three and nine-month ‎periods ended 30 September 2023 and ‎‎30 September 2022 Accordingly, we ‎have not been able to implement the ‎actions we deem necessary.‎

MATERIAL UNCERTAINTIES RELATED ‎TO GOING CONCERN

‎-‎We draw attention to Note (2.5) to the ‎accompanying condensed interim financial ‎statements, which states that the Company ‎has an accumulated loss as of 30 September ‎‎2023 amounting to SR 211.5 million ‎representing 52.3% of the share capital, in ‎addition to net operating cash outflows of ‎SR 36 million and a gross loss of SR 18.1 ‎million for the period ended 30 September ‎‎2023, These condition or events indicate ‎the existence of a material uncertainty, ‎which may cast significant doubt on the ‎Company's ability to continue as a going ‎concern.
