Reclassification of Comparison Items | Certain comparative figures for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been reclassified to conform with the presentation in the current period. |
Additional Information | 1. According to Note 10 of the financial statements, the loss per share for the period ending June 30, 2024, was calculated by dividing the net loss for the period, amounting to SAR 8.166 million, by the weighted average number of shares, estimated at 68.575 million shares, resulting in a loss per share of SAR (0.119). Additionally, the loss per share for the corresponding period of the previous year, 2023, was recalculated by dividing the net loss for the period, amounting to SAR 55.822 million, by the weighted average number of shares, estimated at 54.593 million shares, resulting in a loss per share of SAR (1.022). The weighted average number of shares for the previous year was calculated using an adjustment factor of 1.18, which is the ratio of the theoretical ex-rights price of SAR 10 and the closing share price of SAR 16.12 on February 13, 2024, the last trading day before the rights issue. 2. Concurrent with the announcement of the preliminary financial results, the accumulated losses reached 30.18% of the company's capital, with accumulated losses amounting to SAR 230.68 million as of June 30, 2024, equivalent to 30.18% of the company's capital of SAR 764.6 million. It is worth noting that the company is complying with the procedures and instructions issued by the Capital Market Authority for listed companies in the Saudi financial market, whose accumulated losses exceed 20% of their capital. As a measure to address these losses, the company, based on a recommendation from the Board of Directors, approved a capital increase of SAR 300 million through a rights issue in March 2023. The extraordinary general assembly held on February 13, 2024, approved the increase and completed all necessary regulatory procedures. The company aims to address the accumulated losses through this capital increase by utilizing the proceeds from the offering to purchase new machinery and equipment and to repay part of the existing loans, thereby improving the company's financial position. The company has already begun implementing these measures. |
