The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is Despite there's a reduction in bank interests' provision in the current quarter by an amount of 5.34 million riyals compared by the same quarter of the previous year as a result of some loans settlement and profit rate reduction for some banks. However, the increase in losses for the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the previous year is mostly attributed to:

a) A decline in sales in the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the previous year by approximately 20 million Saudi riyals resulting from the lack of liquidity and the increase in the prices of raw materials, and consequently an increase in operating costs affected by the increase in sales, which resulted an increase in the loss of approximately 7.5 million Saudi riyals.

Statement of the type of external auditor's report Emphasis of matter
Modification, Qualification or Emphasis of a Matter as Stated within the External Auditor Opinion We draw attention to note 4 to the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which indicates that as at September 30, 2021,

- The Group had accumulated losses of SR 221.1 million (December 31, 2020: SR 205.5 million) which is more than 50% of the share capital of the Company. Due to this event, Article 150 of the Companies Law requires the Board of Directors to call for an extraordinary general assembly to be convened in order to discuss whether to maintain or dissolve the Company within the set duration mentioned in Article 150. However, based on Royal Decree (15016) dated Rabi'I 16, 1442H (corresponding to November 2, 2020), provisions of Article 150 have been suspended until the end of Sha'ban 1, 1443H (corresponding to March 4, 2022).

- The Group had current liabilities exceed current assets by SR 665.7 million (December 31, 2020: SR 582.5 million). Also, as at that date, the Group is in breach of certain financial covenants stated in credit facility agreements which are subject to annual review by lenders. The Group's ability to continue as a going concern depends to a large extent on the success of Group's management in raising the Company's capital and rescheduling its bank borrowings.

Our conclusion is not modified in respect of these matters.
