SASCO possesses land in Hafr Al-Batin area and the Ministry of Housing, through Hafr Al-Batin Municipality, took part of this land. The lawsuit was referred to Riyadh General Court and, then, to the Review Board, which in turn referred it to Hafr Al-Batin Municipality to check the site and determine the overlap between the two plots. Consequently, Hafr Al-Batin Municipality issued its letter stating that the Ministry of Housing had infringed upon 41,713 m2 of SASCO plot. Therefore, the assessment was referred to an authorized assessor. Based on its assessment, a judgment was passed in favor of SASCO, and a reasonable compensation for the usurped land was determined. The judgment was challenged by the Ministry of Housing. We are waiting for the confirmation or rejection of judgment by Riyadh Court of Cassation.`f SASCO is also following lawsuit No. 2136385/34 filed on 7/9/1434
AH before the General Court in Tabuk versus the Saudi Industrial Property Authority (Modon) and the Secretariat of the City of Tabuk regarding the overlap with SASCO-owned land in Tabuk Industrial Zone, as well as claiming a compensation for the value of land if SASCO cannot receive it.

Risks Management
SASCO Risk Management ConceptRisk management is the process of measuring and assessing possible
risks as well as developing strategies to manage them to ensure
addressing mitigation and redressing thereof. It also means early
detection of actual problems to reduce their negative impacts on
SASCO.
In the ideal risk management scenario, SASCO adopts prioritization,
i.e. to address more likely and profoundly serious risks/ loss first.
Risk management should integrate with SASCO culture as well as
senior management effective policies and programs. SASCO risk
management translates its strategy to measurable objectives,
and SASCO determines policies and responsibilities towards risk
management as part of job description of its entire staff.
SASCO Risk Management Objectives
`f Achieve close control and monitoring of risks in activities and
business.
`f Identify specific treatment for each type of risk at all levels.
`f Prevent and minimize losses through immediate control or by
transferring them to external parties.
`f Identify actions and procedures to be taken in terms of certain risks
to control incidents and monitor losses.
`f Prepare studies before and after losses to prevent or minimize
likely losses, identify which risks are to be controlled, and use tools
that help prevent recurrence of such risks.
`f Provide shareholders, creditors, and customers with confidence to
protect the ability to generate profit despite any occasional losses
that may lead to minimize profit or non-achievement thereof.
SASCO Techniques to Address Risks
? Assessment:An assessor focuses on the method the management adopts to
set objectives, analyse risks, and manage change, including their
relevance and adequacy to SASCO activities
SASCO-Wise Objectives:
`fHow far SASCO objectives provide profound data and guidance in
terms of SASCO aims while sufficiently specific to be directly linked
to SASCO.
`f Effectiveness of communicating objectives to staff and the Board.
`f Links between strategies and their consistency with SASCO
objectives.
`f Consistency of business plans and budgets with SASCO objectives,
strategic plans, and current conditions.
Activity-Wise Objectives:
`f Link between activity objectives, SASCO objectives, and strategic
plans.
`f Consistency of the activity objectives.
`f Adequacy of activity objectives with all important operations.
`f Idiosyncrasy of the activity objectives.
Sufficiency of Objective-Related Resources:
`f Identifying important objectives (important success factors) to
achieve SASCO objectives.
`f Involvement of all management levels in setting objectives and the
extent of their interest in achieving these objectives.
? Risk:`f Sufficiency of mechanisms to identify risks originating from
external sources.
`f Sufficiency of mechanisms to identify risks originating from
internal sources
`f Identifying important risks of every important activity.
`f Analysing risks at SASCO level and activity level and changing the
method of risk analysis since many risks are difficult to quantify.
Analysis includes:
1. Asses risk significance.
2. Asses the possibility of risk occurrence (recurrence).
3. Impact of risk.
4. Consider how to manage risks and evaluate steps to be
taken.
SASCO addresses risks within four key groups:
1. Avoidance of Risks:This means to attempt to avoid activities that lead to certain risks,
such as not purchasing a property or not engaging in a certain work.
2. Minimization of Risks:By reducing investments facing a certain risk, which an investor
does not like to take, or by involving others in risks.
3. Transfer of Risks:This consists of means that help another party accept risk, usually
through contracts or financial hedging. Insurance is an example of
risk transfer through contracts.
4. Acceptance:This means to accept losses when they happen. This method is
an acceptable strategy in case of small risks in which the cost of
insurance against risk by time is higher than total losses (accepted
should be all risks that are not preventable or transferrable).
Based on the Board belief in the importance of risk management
being one of management foundations to protect shareholders’
investments and related parties’ rights, the Board continually
develops risk management, policies, and procedures consistent with
governance and internal control policies through setting a general
Risks Management
115Annual Report 2018114
strategic plan for SASCO to face these risks and ensure expeditious
treatment thereof and providing necessary solutions in a manner
that reduces their impacts.
The most important risks SASCO may face and their mitigations are
classified as follows:
Most Important Risks SASCO may Face and their MitigationsOperational Risks
? Retail Sector:Retail Sector is one of the sectors characterized by easy entry by
new competitors or expansion of existing ones, increasing the total
competition therein, in addition to price fluctuations that affect
land price, property lease, construction costs, or supply. Moreover,
this sector mainly depends on providing petroleum services. Since
the sector is linked to supplies received from the Arab Oil Company
“Saudi Aramco”, any change in contract provisions negatively affects
SASCO activity.
To manage competition risks in the Retail Sector, parameters for
internal control were set as follows:
1. Requiring the development of accurate studies for every site that
include fixed standards to ensure the investment feasibility of these
sites.
2. Conducting a comprehensive developmental program for the
existing sites to ensure quality service and availability of all services
the customer needs. This is in addition to approval of increase in
market share inside cities and focus on acquiring relatively important
sites, whether in terms of population density or traffic.
3. Setting financial goals and enforcing monthly control thereon to
address or benefit from deviations.
4. Setting operational goals and enforcing the oversight role by
supervisors in stations, provinces, and sectors, as well as by paying
surprise periodical visits and monitoring customer complaints to
address them through allocating a toll-free phone number to raise
specific quality of services.
? Ostool Al-Naqil Co. (Subsidiary)Ostool Al-Naqil Co. started its business as a SASCO sector in 2009.
Following restructuring this sector, its name changed to “Ostool Al-
Naqil Co.”. SASCO increases its operational capacity continually in line
with providing human cadres to manage and supervise the fleet in a
manner that ensures maximum benefit from transportation services
to SASCO sites, lowers the internal transport costs, and provides other
customers with transport services. Ostool Al-Naqil Co. offers the
following services:
`f Transportation services of all types of fuel.
`fWater and sewerage transport services.
`fDry transport services.
The most prominent risks faced by Ostool Al-Naqil Co. is the renewal
of its license periodically from the Ministry of Transport. Although it
does not encounter any difficulties in renewing the license, it does
not guarantee to renew it in the future, which would affect its ability
to continue operation in this field. In addition, any change in systems
and regulations related to company business in terms of loading,
transporting, unloading, and storing petroleum products as well as
environment protection requirements shall increase its costs and
financial burdens.
To manage risks related to Ostool Al-Naqil Co., parameters have been
developed for internal control through:
`f Covering operational objectives of transportation sector and
helping officers improve, develop, and schedule supply.
`f Following up adherence to security and safety laws and procedures
and recommending rectifications to violations.
`f Checking quality assurance procedures and complying with
specific quality standards.
? Saudi Automobile & Touring Association (Subsidiary)Business of Saudi Automobile & Touring Association, which works
under the umbrella of UN- controlled international bodies, is an
essential cornerstone of SASCO operational business. Profit from its
business, arising from sales of international driving licenses and Trip-
Tik customs books, represents a material share of SASCO operating
revenue. This activity depends on holding an international license
from the FIA to issue those documents for several years now in return
for international financial obligations and burdens that greatly add
to the cost of selling the document.
Political events in some neighbouring countries, activities of
some local competitors (parallel clubs) and the emergence of new
organizations affect the financial performance of Saudi Automobile
& Touring Association.
To minimize competition risks and increase its market share, Saudi
Automobile & Touring Association is in the process of developing an
expansion plan to increase its branches and products, enhance its
integration, and deal with strategic dealers. Parameters have been
developed for the internal control through:
1. Holding periodical meetings with strategic dealers to increase
coordination in terms of market shares.
2. Developing a plan to increase points of sale to market some
products and follow up on them monthly.
3. Setting financial objectives and following them up monthly.
4. Conducting periodic monitoring of customs claims and trying to
reduce them.
ERP-Related RisksAll departments of SASCO and its subsidiaries depend mainly on
the use of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system in all their
operational and financial processes. The ERP system may serve more
than one department. SASCO departments use the following systems:
`f Finance Department: AX 2012.
`fHuman Resources Management: AX 2012.
`f SASCO Palm Stores sales: NCR Aloha.
`f Fuel Sales: Gilbarco.
`f SASCO Al-Waha Co. Sales: Opera and Nazeel system for motels.
`fMaintenance Department: reporting system BMC.
As SASCO is eager to avoid any expected problems, it monitors the
updating of department systems periodically through a specialized
office. Moreover, SASCO concluded a contract with a company
specialized in storing information to create a backup copy of SASCO
data.
Risks of Issuing New Regulations on Fuel Stations and Service CentresThe new Regulations on Fuel Stations and Service Centers, issued
by the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs, includes stringent
standards for the geographical distribution of fuel stations and
service centres so that they would not cause any disturbance,
traffic jams, or damage to nearby facilities. It also sets the area of
stations inside cities, design standards, and safety and environment
preservation conditions.
SASCO business may be affected in the future if it fails to obtain
the necessary construction and operation licenses, whether for the
existing or new stations.
Legislative Environment Risks
SASCO operates in a dynamic legislative environment, and changes
to systems and laws applicable in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia may
affect SASCO business positively or negatively. To reduce the negative
effect of these changes, if any, SASCO always gets timely access to
amendments to regulations and studies their impact on its business.
Accordingly, SASCO takes the necessary steps to minimize the impact
of these amendments or attempt to exploit them to serve its business.
The most prominent existing risks include the fact that SASCO should
obtain/renew the license to practice its business from the Ministry
of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Civil Defence periodically; this is
connected with the property insurance policy. SASCO business may
be affected in the future if it fails to obtain or renew such licenses.
Legal Risks
In addition, SASCO faces legal risks in relation to financial claims due
for it from some tenants and debtors, namely collecting amounts due
for it for previous years. Moreover, there are some labour lawsuits filed
versus SASCO, and its Legal Department follows up these financial
rights to collect them, either by amicable or judicial means.
HR-Related Risks
Legislations in the Kingdom require a Saudization ratio of total staff
in companies through Nitaqat Program. SASCO has achieved the
required Saudization ratio and continually seeks to Saudize various
administrative functions in line with its expansion plan that requires
many workers in its different sites.
SASCO signed an agreement with the Human Resources Fund to
support the Saudization plan in accordance with the regulations
and laws issued in this respect. Although SASCO believes in the
importance of Saudization as a national development requirement,
it faces difficulties and challenges because of the nature of its
business, inadequacy of its works to national jobseekers, and its
main dependence on expatriate workforce. Therefore, it is difficult
to achieve the Saudization ratio. Accordingly, risks in this regard
continue, particularly the higher cost of labour and recruitment.
Parameters have been developed for internal control through:
1. Continuous follow up of updates and requirements of Labour Office
in relation to Saudization and Nitaqat Program.
2. Making sure that the staff get sufficient training to perform their
duties effectively.
3. Ensuring the periodical monitoring and assessment of performance.
4. Following up Saudization of supervisory functions in all sectors to
increase Saudization ratio.
Market-Related Risks
They comprise:
? Growth and Expansion-Related Risks:Since SASCO growth depends to opening and adding new sites,
SASCO, to realize its expansion policies, selects sties and review them
comprehensively to make proper decisions of purchase or rent.
SASCO ability to continue its growth relies on the availability of
human resources, such as administrative competencies, operational
expertise, and labour on time. SASCO exerts necessary efforts to
provide these resources.
Delay in construction and development projects because of
contractors’ non-abidance by the set completion schedule leads to
delay in operating sites according to the operational plan. SASCO
concerned departments continually follows up the contractors’ works
and implementation procedures.
? Competitive Environment Risks:Station and rest house sector witnesses fierce competition to provide
best services. SASCO growth and profit levels depends on its ability to
compete successfully and maintain a leading position among other
companies.
117116 Annual Report 2018
? Risks Related to Highway Network Development (Transport Alternatives)The State develops highway networks continuously, which may
change routes on which SASCO rest houses and stations are located.
This is in addition to starting the execution of public transport
projects, subway network, and railway lines to link the Kingdom
regions with each other, which can adversely affect SASCO level of
operational profit.
In this regard, SASCO develops control in this regard through:
`f Studying new road and railway line projects and the road network
expansion plans in the Kingdom periodically to strategically plan
SASCO sites, examine options and solutions for existing sites, and
check whether they are vulnerable due to the development of road
networks.
? Risks Related to Issuance of Auto and Motorcycle Club ActThe Act includes some points that would affect the business of
Saudi Automobile & Touring Association. SASCO studies the Act and
identifies the expected impact on the Association works to take the
necessary measures towards addressing the Act requirements.
? Risks Related to Customs Claims of the Association covered by the FIA Insurance PolicyThere are customs claims not covered by the FIA insurance policy since
some countries are not included in the insurance coverage. Saudi
Automobile & Touring Association checks all supporting documents
when issuing Trip-Tik customs books, and forms a provision in the
form of a percentage of monthly sales of books to cover this claim.
? Risks Related to Granting Land and Land Handed over by StateOn 18/5/1401 AH, Royal Decree No. 11499 was issued to hand over to
SASCO the necessary lands while keeping its ownership to the State.
Moreover, Royal Decree No. 214/M was issued on 8/2/1405 AH to grant
SASCO (34) sites handed over to it. Therefore, SASCO requested the
receipt of the sites to build rest houses thereon.
In relation to grants that have title deeds already received, SASCO
assessed them by a number of specialized companies, and listed them
in accounting records. As for lands granted with no title deeds, SASCO
coordinates with the concerned authorities to get its title deeds and
receive these sites.
In addition to the granted lands, SASCO received some sites from
the State against receipt minutes. SASCO has built fuel stations on
some of these sites and is seeking to receive others to utilize them.
Royal Decree No. 1315/M issued on 24/11/1420 AH limited SASCO sites
to those previously granted and lease out those already handed over
or will be handed over to it in the future at an adequate fare while
emphasizing utilization of sites for the purpose for which they are
allocated. Currently, SASCO is working with government agencies to
receive and determine the rent value of land. SASCO may be adversely
affected in case of delayed handover of these sites by relevant
government authorities, or because of higher rent value. SASCO
assesses the site and rent value initially before deciding whether to
invest in the site.
? Insurance-Related RisksInsurance policies cover all employees and properties of SASCO and its
subsidiaries. SASCO financial results or subsidiaries may be affected
by any future losses not covered under the insurance policies.
? Credit-related RisksThe credit-related risks comprise of the inability of one party to fulfil
its obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the other party. In order
to reduce the impact of these risks, SASCO policy states that all post-
paid customers are subject to credit due diligence and their ability to
meet the obligations.
? Financing RisksSASCO obtained financing from several banks to expand its projects,
support its core activities, purchase new sites to build fuel stations,
and finance the working capital and, thus, make profits and maximize
shareholders’ equity in the future.
In this respect, SASCO developed controls by setting financial and
operational objectives and activating controls on them on a monthly
basis to address deviations or take advantage of them, including but
not limited to:
`fMonitoring the achievement of expansion targets - numerically.
`fMonitoring the achievement of financial performance targets.
`f Conducting, analysing, and comparing budgets with the actual
results and reasons for deviations.
`f Reviewing and improving cash flows continually.
`f Scheduling expansions.
? Investment RisksSASCO has investment portfolios in other companies, which may be
vulnerable to financial, operational, or administrative risks related
to those companies or the market where they operate. To minimize
the impact of these risks, SASCO conducts in-house or outsourced
studies by specialist consultants on the status of these investments
to assess the feasibility of keeping them. SASCO also gets continually
and periodically familiarized with the results of investee companies
to determine their conditions in general.
Although SASCO focuses on its core business, in case of an untapped
cash surplus, SASCO invests it by entering into new investment
portfolios or real estate investment funds or depositing it as a short-
term bank deposit.
SASCO also possesses several investment portfolios in securities in the
Saudi market managed by specialized companies. These investments
are vulnerable to fluctuations in stock prices according to the
prevailing market variables.
To reduce the impact of these risks, SASCO:
`f Examines the financial position of the investee companies and
assesses their performance quarterly and annually.
`fWorks to dissociate from some investments to focus on its SASCO
core business whenever the opportunity comes.
? Risks Related to Increased Energy PricesThe increased sale tariff of electrical energy products and the rise in
prices of fuel and water affect the margin of income from operations.
The issuance of a ministerial decision to increase tariffs in the future
may lead to low income margin.
In this context, SASCO always gets timely access to amendments and
resolutions and studies their impact on its business. Accordingly,
SASCO takes the necessary steps to minimize the impact of these
resolutions.
? Strategic RisksThese are unknown and non-systematic risks which cannot be
absorbed or assessed within a clear approach or model. In case SASCO
falls vulnerable to such strategically affecting events or risks, it may
not only suffer a slight decline in profits, but such danger may also
destroy it fully through bankruptcy and lay-offs.

Internal ControlSASCO Internal Control ConceptInternal control is one of the basic pillars of the oversight system of any organization to assist it to evaluate management risks. It is considered an objective and independent business of a consultative nature designed to increase the value of an organization, enhance its operations, and achieve its goals. External parties can provide internal control services to ensure high quality of this service.Internal control is a series of procedures and processes conducted by the Board, management, and employees to provide a reasonable confirmation with regard to achieving the following objectives:`f Effectiveness and efficiency of operations.`f Reliability of financial reports.`f Compliance with the related laws and instructions.
SASCO Roles and Responsibilities`f Everyone in SASCO is responsible for part of internal control. However, the Board is the body responsible for SASCO internal control system. The CEO is the person finally responsible for the oversight system.`f A number of parties provides internal control, each of whom has important responsibilities. The Board (either directly or through its committees), management, internal auditors, and other staff all submit important contributions to an effective internal control system.

Periodic Audit of Financial and Accounting Procedures and Financial ReportingIn coordination with the external auditor, SASCO periodically ensures the integrity of the financial and accounting procedures and that they are consistent with the widely accepted professional standards and the related laws governing financial and accounting practices and reporting.
Internal AuditSASCO management contracted a specialized office to carry out the internal audit based on risk assessment. SASCO works with the Internal Audit Department to develop a risk-based plan in coordination with the Audit Committee, SASCO management, and department officials. Based on this plan, an action internal audit plan was developed. The plan aims to describe how to deal with these risks and determine how and when their consequences will be avoided or reduced.
The internal (risk-based) audit plan included the following objectives:`f Evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the internal control system and processes.`fUnderstand policies and procedures.`f Ensure compliance with laws and regulations as well as SASCO contracts and policies.`f Ensure the preservation of SASCO assets.`f Ensure the reliability and integrity of financial and operational information.`f Compare the current SASCO practices with the best practices followed.`f Identify the opportunities available to enhance the internal control of activities and operations.
All (field and periodic) audit reports filed to the Board, senior management, and various departments included observations and weaknesses of internal control procedures in the audited departments or operations along with their potential impact on the integrity of SASCO business processes and transactions with a focus on high-value activities because of the increasing volume of risks. The reports also focused on the effectiveness of internal control system, since a weak control system increases the prospects of loss and the volume of risk, while an effective control system reduces the probability of such risks. In addition, every report included all recommendations on how to deal with these observations to raise the level of internal control procedures.
The most important focus points in internal audit reports included the following:`f Ensure that the department plans are consistent with the overall SASCO objectives.`f Verify that fixed assets represent actual values owned by SASCO.`f Ensure the provision of the necessary and adequate resources and skills to support business.`f Ensure that the IT facilities and services both support SASCO

Independent Auditors’ Report
Messrs. / Shareholders of the Saudi Automotive Services Company (SASCO), Saudi Joint Stock Company, the highly regarded
May Allah’s Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon you,
Opinion
We audited the consolidated financial statements of the Saudi Automotive Services Company (SASCO) “a Saudi joint-stock company” (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, together referred to as (the “Group”). They include the consolidated financial position statement as at 31 December 2018, statement of profit or loss and other consolidated comprehensive income, changes in consolidated shareholders’ equity, consolidated cash flows for the year ending on that date, notes attached to consolidated financial statements and brief of important accounting policies.
In our opinion, the attached consolidated financial statements fairly demonstrate, from all major aspects, the consolidated financial position of Saudi Automotive Services Company (SASCO) “Group” as at 31 December 2018, its financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year ending on that date according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) approved in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other standards issued by Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants.
Grounds of Opinion
Our audit was conducted according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) approved in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Our responsibility according to the IFRS is detailed in this report in the paragraph titled “Auditor’s Responsibility for auditing consolidated financial statements”. We are independent from the Group pursuant to the Professional Ethics approved in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia relevant to our audit of these consolidated financial statements. We also met the requirements of other professional ethics. We believe that audit grounds we obtained are sufficient to constitute a basis for our opinion about the audit.
Core Audit Issues
As per our professional assessment, core audit issues refer to such matters that had utmost importance in our audit of financial statements of the current year. Such matters have been addressed in the context of our audit of financial statements as a whole and in developing our opinion. We do not present a separate opinion about such matters. Following is a description of each separate core audit issue and how it is addressed:
Core Audit Issue How it is addressed in auditing
Adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (9) “Financial Instruments” and the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (15) “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Continued)Please refer to Note No. 7 on consolidated financial statements for more details about the impact of adoption and reclassification resulting from applying the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (9) “Financial Instruments” and the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (15) “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
• We selected a sample of settlements (including calculation and registration) made to different balances and transactions in order to be in consistency with the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (9) “Financial Instruments” and the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (15) “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
• We assessed the consistency of disclosures related to the impact of applying the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (9) “Financial Instruments” and the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (15) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
Revenue RealizationRevenues are a major and determinant factor of the Group’s performance and profits. Here arises a risk when revenues are recorded higher than their real value to increase profits. Due to the importance of the amount and the risk of recording revenues higher than their real values, we see that realization of revenues are an important aspect of audit as there is a risk that revenues may be false due to the Management’s negligence of controls and that the time and amount of revenues recorded in the financial period may have a substantial impact on the financial performance.
With respect to revenues, we took the following steps:• In our audit, we paid attention to what extent the accounting
policies are consistent with generating revenues in favor of the Group and assessing to what extent such policies are consistent with the IFRS.
• We examined the internal control procedures with respect to revenue realization and studying the procedures taken by the Group for purposes of completing the factors of revenue realization.
• We conducted a substantive analysis on important revenue flows through developing expectations based on sizes and rates. We also got explanations of major differences.
• We examined a sample of recorded revenue transactions and compared them to supporting documents to verify the registered revenues.
Fair value investments through consolidated other comprehensive income statementSASCO possesses fair value investments through items of consolidated other comprehensive income statement with a total value of SR 103,5 million as at 31 December 2018.The fair value of investments, through consolidated other comprehensive income statement, not circulating in an active market, is determined through applying assessment methods which often include practicing discretions by the Management and the use of assumptions and estimates.The state of uncertainty of investments, not circulating in an active market, is estimated using the techniques of the following internal models:• Important observable assessment inputs (i.e. investments
classified as per Level 2).• Important unobservable assessment inputs (i.e. investments
classified as per Level 3).Investments at fair value are assessed through the items of consolidated other comprehensive income statement at fair value with registering profit or loss compared to difference of fair value within items of consolidated other comprehensive income statement to be added as part of reassessing investments at fair value through consolidated other comprehensive income statement with shareholders’ equity.Assessment of investments at fair value was considered in 2 and 3 Levels as a core audit issue due to the complexity of assessing these financial instruments and the importance of judgments and estimates conducted by the Management.
With respect to fair value investments through the consolidated other comprehensive income statement, we took the following steps:• Verify the calculation of difference in the fair value and adding
it to the items of consolidated other comprehensive income as well as adding it to the net change of fair value investments through consolidated other comprehensive income.
• Assess the sufficiency of the Group’s disclosures towards these investments.
• We assessed the design and application of Management’s control over the investments classified through consolidated other comprehensive income and not traded in an active market. We also tested the efficiency of major procedures of these transactions.
• We evaluated the methodology and consistency of assessment methods and inputs used in determining the value of fair value investments through consolidated other comprehensive income.
• We tested the samples of operations used in assessing investments through consolidated other comprehensive income not traded in an active market. As part of audit procedures, we assessed major inputs and assumptions used in determining values such as the anticipated cash flows, risk free rates, credit margins through comparing them with external data.

Core Audit Issue How it is addressed in auditing
Adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (9) “Financial Instruments” and the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (15) “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers”As of 1 January 2018, the Group must adopt the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (9) “Financial Instruments” and the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (15) “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers”We have considered this a core audit issue because the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (9) “Financial Instruments” and the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (15) “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers” has an important impact on consolidated financial statements thanks of the judgments and estimates used in applying the future credit loss model.
With respect to adopting the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (9) “Financial Instruments” and the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (15) “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, we took the following steps: • We assessed the adequacy of adopted accounting policies.• We assessed action papers related to technical matters,
detailed application plans and differences according to the accounting standards widely accepted in Saudi Arabia and issued by the Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants which the Group identified.
• We compared the expected credit loss model developed by the Management as required by the International Financial Reporting Standard No. (9) “Financial Instruments”, examined the reasonableness of methodology compared to accepted best practices and verified the accounting accuracy of the model.
131130 Annual Report 2018
We communicated with governance officers with respect to planned audit scope, timing and important notes, including any internal control system failure identified in our audit.We also provided them with a statement that we complied with independence-related ethical requirements, made them familiar with all matters that may reasonably affect our independence and present relevant commitment parameters if necessary.
The issues reported to governance officers include such issues that had utmost importance when auditing consolidated financial statements of the current year. Therefore, they are considered core audit issues. We are going to highlight such issues in our report unless this is prohibited by a disclosure law or regulation. However, in very rare circumstances, we decide not to report the same as it is reasonably expected that negative consequences would overcome the public interest of reporting.

Other InformationThe Management is responsible for other information, including information stated in the Group’s Annual Report, but not including the consolidated financial statements and our audit report about them. It is expected to have access to the annual report after the date of this report.Our opinion does not cover the consolidated financial statements of other information and we have no confirmation about them.When it comes to our audit of consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information stated above when made accessible. When doing so, we taken into account whether such information is fundamentally inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge which we obtained during audit or it appears that it contains significant errors. When we read the annual report and find significant errors in such information, we are required to report these facts to Governance officers.
Management’s & Governance Officers’ Responsibility for Consolidated Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for developing and fairly presenting consolidated financial statements as per the IFRS adopted in Saudi Arabia, the other standards issued by Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants, the provisions of Companies Law and the Company’s Articles of Association. It is also responsible for internal control systems that are deemed necessary for developing consolidated financial statements free from significant errors, whether such errors are arising from fraud or omission.
The Management’s responsibility for developing consolidated financial statements includes an assessment of the Group’s ability to continue business, disclosure, as the case may be, of matters related to Group’s continuity and use of continuation basis in accounting unless the Management wishes to dissolve the Group or cease its operations or no logical alternative is available.Governance officers are responsible for supervising the development of financial reports.
Auditor’s ResponsibilityWe aim to get a reasonable confirmation whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from significant errors - whether such errors are arising from fraud or omission – and to issue the audit report that includes our opinion about such statements. A reasonable confirmation is a high level of confirmation. Our audit, which was conducted according to the IFRS adopted in Saudi Arabia, does not always guarantee the detection of significant errors, if any. Errors may arise out of fraud or omission. They are deemed significant if, individually or collectively, reasonably affecting the economic decisions of the users of consolidated financial statements.
As part of the audit process, undertaken according to the IFRS adopted in Saudi Arabia, we practice professional judgment and apply the principle of professional scepticism in all aspects of audit in addition to the following:
• Identify and assess the risks of significant errors of consolidated financial statements, whether arising from fraud or omission, design and implement audit procedures responding to such risks and obtain sufficient evidences that provide a ground for our opinion. The risk of failing to detect significant errors arising out of fraud is higher than that arising out of omission. This is because fraud may include collusion or counterfeiting, deliberate deletion or misstatements, or intrusion of internal audit systems.
• Understand audit-related internal control systems for the purpose of developing proper audit procedures according to the circumstances and not for raising an opinion about the efficiency of corporate internal control systems.
• Assess the consistency of applicable accounting policies and the reasonability of relevant Management-prepared accounting estimates and notes.
• Obtain a conclusion as to the consistency of Management’s use of the principle of continuity in accounting based on audit evidences we obtained. We work to know if there is a significant uncertainty in relation to events or circumstances that may raise big doubts about the Group’s ability to continue to run business as a continuous establishment. If it comes to our knowledge that there exists a significant uncertainty, we are required to attract attention in our audit report to the relevant notes outlined in the consolidated financial statements. If disclosure of such information is not sufficient, we will amend our opinion. Our deductions rely on audit evidences obtained until the date of our audit report. However, future events or circumstances may cause company’s discontinuity to run business as a continuous establishment.
• Assess general presentation as well as structure and content of consolidated financial statements, including notes, and whether consolidated financial statements represent transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

2. Grounds on which consolidated financial statements are developed
2-1 Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements were developed according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) approved in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other standards approved by Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants.
According to the Saudi Capital Market Authority (CMA), options of using reassessment model of properties, machinery, equipment and intangible assets in IFRS No. 16 and IFRS No. 38 and option of using fair value model for real estate investments in IFRS No. 40 will not be available in the first three years as of the date of transformation beginning from 2017 till 2019 for listed companies.
2-2 Development of consolidated financial statements
The attached consolidated financial statements were developed on the basis of historical costs according to maturity principle with the exception of investments held for sale at fair value through other comprehensive income at fair value and investments held for sale at fair value through profit or loss.
Items of consolidated financial statements appear in Saudi Riyal (SR). It is the currency of operation and disclosure.
2-3 Use of estimates
The development of consolidated financial statements according to IFRS’s approved in Saudi Arabia requires the Management to set judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and disclosed amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and their related assumptions are based on previous experience and other factors believed to be reasonable in the current circumstances; which results constitute a basis for taking judgments related to the book value of assets and liabilities not easily made clear from their sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.Estimates and their related assumptions are continuously audited. Amendments to accounting estimates are recognized with a future effect.Following are estimates and assumptions that are vulnerable to substantial risks that may lead to making a significant amendment to the book value of assets and liabilities in the subsequent fiscal years:

a.) Depreciation of non-financial assets
On the date of each financial position statement, the Group assesses the assets to find any evidence that these assets have incurred a depreciation. In case such evidence exists, the asset redeemable value is estimated. A redeemable value is the fair value of the asset minus selling cost or value of use, whichever higher. When assessing the used value, estimated future cash flows of an asset are deducted to the present value using a discount rate reflecting the current market assessments of time value of funds and risks determining the asset. When determining the fair value of the asset minus selling cost, the recent market dealings are taken into account. In case the redeemable value of an asset is estimated lower than the book value, the book value of asset is reduced to the redeemable value. Depreciation losses are directly recognized in the profit or loss statement.
In case the depreciation loss is subsequently reflected in value, the asset book value is increased to the amended value of the redeemable value. However, only to the extent that the book value does not exceed the book value that would have been redeemable should there is no depreciation loss of asset book value in the previous years. Reverse of ddepreciation losses are directly recognized in the profit or loss statement.
b.) Measurement of fair value
Fair value represents the value on which an asset is exchanged or an obligation is paid among parties having knowledge and desire to do so on fair dealing conditions. Company’s financial instruments are disclosed as per historical cost principle with the exception of financial assets recorded in fair value through profit or loss. The measure of a fair value is based on the assumption that the transaction of an asset selling or determination of an obligation takes place:• Through the main market of the asset or obligation; or• Through the most preferred market of the asset or obligation in case the main market is absent.
The main market (most preferred market) must be available for the Company in the measurement date.A fair value of an asset or obligation is measured according to assumptions used by market participants when pricing the asset or obligation on the assumption that market parties act for achieving the best interests for themselves. With respect to non-financial assets, this measurement takes into consideration the market participants’ ability to generate economic benefits through using the asset to achieve the best interests or selling it to another market party to achieve the best interests.
The Company uses assessment methods appropriate for circumstances. Such methods have sufficient data to measure the fair value; in that proper observable inputs are used instead of non-observable ones.All assets and obligations measured by fair value or their value is disclosed in financial statements are classified as per a hierarchy of fair value measurement levels below based on the minimum level of measurement input which is crucial for measuring the fair value as a whole.
Used inputs are classified in fair value measurement methods as per the following hierarchy:Level One: prices declared (unamended) and tradable in active asset or obligation market similar to the one measured.Level Two: inputs that can be directly or indirectly observed or controlled for the asset or obligation other than declared prices listed in Level One.Level Three: inputs that are non-observable for the asset or obligation.The Company hires independent expert assessors, with recognized and relevant professional qualifications and experience in the location and type of assets under assessment, to measure the fair value of assets. The Company reviews the independent assessor’s report to evaluate the assumptions, employed assessment methods and the reasonability of assessment as a whole.
c.) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has emerging (legal or implied) liabilities due to previous events. The payment of liabilities is possible and their value can be credibly measured. An amount recognized as a provision is the best estimation of the amount required to settle the current obligation on the date of report, taking into consideration risks and doubts about the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated for settling the current obligation, the book value shall be the current value of these flows. In case the redemption of some or all economic benefit required for settling a provision from a third party, the due amount shall be recognized as an asset in case it is certain to redeem the amount and that the value of due amount can be reliably measured.
d.) Estimation of productive lifetime of properties, machinery, equipment and remaining value
The Group’s Management determines the estimated productive lifetime of properties, machinery and equipment for the purpose of calculating depreciation. This estimation is made after taking into consideration the expected use of asset or actual prescription. The Management periodically checks the estimated productive lifetimes at least annually and the method of consumption to make sure that the method and consumption periods are consistent with the expected pattern of asset economic benefits.
e.) Assumptions of end-of-service benefit obligations
End-of-service benefits represent liabilities that will be settled in the future and require the use of assumptions toward the expected liabilities. International Accounting Standard 19 “Employee Benefits” requires the Management to use more variable-related assumptions such as discount rates, rate of compensation increase, return on asset, mortality rates, operation turnover and costs of future healthcare. The Group leads an actuarial evaluation to calculate obligation. Changes in core assumptions may have a great impact on expected benefit liabilities and/or costs of periodic incurred employee benefits.
f.) Provision of stagnant and slow inventory
The Group’s Management estimates the provision to reduce the value of inventory to the net verifiable value in case the cost of inventory is irredeemable or the inventory is damaged or wholly or partially vulnerable to inscription or if the selling price is less than the cost or any other factors causing a depreciation of redeemable value less than book value. Zakat Discretionary Zakat is an obligation on the Group according to the laws applicable by the Saudi General Authority for Zakat and Tax. It is set right and allocated to the profit or loss statement. Additional Zakat liabilities, if any, related to assessments of previous years, are calculated by the Authority in the year during which final assessments are issued.
3- Changes to important accounting policies
With the exception of the below, the accounting policies applied to these consolidated financial statements are the same ones applied to financial statements of the previous year for the year ending on 31 December 2017.As at 1 January 2018, the Company applied the following standards: International Financial Reporting Standard No. (9): items of Group’s financial investments were reclassified (as indicated in Note No. 7)International Financial Reporting Standard No. (15): settlements to revenues have been made according to the concept of customer’s access to full control of service provided (as indicated in Note No. 7).
The impact of applying these standards on Group’s applicable accounting policies:
3-1 International Financial Reporting Standard No. 9 – Financial Instruments (versions amended in 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2014)
The International Financial Reporting Standard No. 9 classifies and measures financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts of purchase or selling non-financial items. It replaces the International Reporting Standard No. 39 “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement”.Following are the details of new important accounting principles and the nature of changes made to previous accounting principles:
3-1-1 Classification of financial assets
IFRS No. 9 includes three main classification categories of financial assets: financial assets measured by amortized cost, financial assets measured by fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets measured by fair value through profit or loss statement and consolidated other comprehensive income. This Standard excludes the current categories of International Accounting Standard No. 39, which are retained till date of maturity as well as loans and receivables and through other comprehensive income.As per IFRS No. 9, contract-embedded derivatives, in which the core instrument is financial assets within the standard scope, are not divided. Instead, mixed financial instrument is assessed as a whole for classification purposes.
141140 Annual Report 2018
3-1-2 Measurement of financial assets
The following accounting policies are applied to the subsequent measurement of financial assets:
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: subsequent measurement of these assets is made at fair value. Net profit and loss are recorded. They shall include any interest or income of profit distribution within profit or loss.
- Financial assets at amortized cost: subsequent measurement of these assets is made at amortized cost using the actual interest method. Amortized cost is reduced by depreciation loss. Interest revenues, profits & loss of foreign currency exchange and deprecation are recorded in profits or loss. Any profit or loss is recorded in profits or loss.
- Investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income: subsequent measurement of these assets is made at fair value. Interest revenues calculated using the actual interest method, profits & loss of foreign currency exchange and deprecation are recorded in profits or loss. Other net profits and loss are recorded in other comprehensive income. When recording is stopped, profit and loss accumulating in comprehensive income are reclassified into profit or loss.
- Investment in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income: subsequent measurement of these assets is made at fair value. Profit distributions, deprecation profits & loss, profits & loss of foreign currency exchange are recorded in profits or loss unless profit distributions clearly represent the redemption of a part of investment cost. Other profits and loss are recorded in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified into profit or loss.
3-2-2 Depreciation
The IFRS 9 replaces the incurred loss model of International Accounting Standard No. 39 with expected future credit loss model. This requires a major appreciation of how changes of economic factors affect the expected future credit loss model, which will be determined on the basis of weighted probability.The new depreciation model will be applied to financial assets measured by amortized cost or fair value through consolidated other comprehensive income with the exception of investments in equity instruments and also applied to contract assets.
As per IFRS No. 9, loss appropriations will be measured according to one of the following principles:
1.) Credit loss expected throughout 12 months. Such loss arises from payment default events which are likely to occur within 12 months after the report date.
2.) Credit loss expected throughout the lifetime of a financial instrument. Such loss arises from all payment default events which occur throughout the expected lifetime of a financial instrument.
As for credit loss expected throughout the lifetime, measurement is applied in case credit risks of financial assets largely increase on the report date since initial recognition thereof. Credit loss expected throughout 12 months in case these credit risks do not largely increase. An establishment may determine that credit risks do not largely increase if the instrument is subject to low credit risks at the report date. However, measurement of credit loss expected throughout the lifetime is always applied to commercial receivables and contract assets without any significant financing components. An establishment may choose to apply this policy to commercial receivables and contract assets without significant financing components.
3-1-4 Classification of Financial Liabilities
IFRS No. 9 largely retains the current requirements of IAS No. 39 with the aim to classify financial liabilities. However, IAS No. 39 signifies that all changes to fair value of liabilities classified by fair value through statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are recognized in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. According to IFRS No. 9, the change to fair value related changes in credit risks of liabilities is demonstrated in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, while the remaining amount of change in fair value is presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
3-2-4 Hedge Accounting
IFRS No. 9 presents a new hedge accounting model designed to closely cope up with how the establishment practices risk management activities when hedging against financial and non-financial risks.
3-1 IFRS No. 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS No. 15 establishes a comprehensive concept framework to determine the amount and timing of revenue recognition. This Standard replaces the guidelines for demonstrating current revenues. IFRS No. 18 includes revenues while IFRS No. 11 includes construction contracts and international explanation No. 13 “customer loyalty programs”.The Group records revenues when performing service in favor of customer and customer’s access to control of service provided as per the requirements of IFRS No. 15. Therefore, there is no significant impact from applying IFRS No. 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” on recording the Group’s revenues.
4- New Standards IFRS No. 16 – Lease Contracts
IFRS No. 16 “Lease Contracts” (effective as of 1 January 2019) This Standard is effective for annual periods commencing from or after 1 January 2019. Early application is allowed. It has not been applied by the Group when developing these consolidated financial statements. IFRS No. 16 identifies the way a developer of consolidated financial statements according to the IFRS recognizes, measures, presents and discloses lease contracts. This Standard provides lessees with a single accounting model, which requires them to recognize assets and liabilities of all lease contracts unless the lease term is 12 months or less or if the asset is of a little value.While lessors continue to classify lease contracts as operating or financing lease contracts, the approach of IFRS No. 16 regarding lessor accounting did not significantly change from the previous one, namely IAS No. 17.It is not expected that the adoption of this Standard during subsequent periods will have a major impact on the Group’s financial statements.
5- Basics of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the consolidated financial position statement, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated shareholders’ equity change statement, consolidated cash flow statement, and notes complementing the consolidated financial statements of the Group. They include assets, liabilities and results of the Group and its subsidiaries’ business as indicated in Note No. 1. Subsidiaries are those companies controlled by the Group. The Group controls the company when it is entitled with different revenues due to participating in the company and its ability to affect these revenues through controlling the company. Subsidiaries are consolidated as of the date of Group’s acquisition over subsidiaries until ceasing to practice such control. The Group uses the purchasing method to account for gathering operations when transferring control to the group. Acquisition cost is measured by fair value of obtained assets. The increased cost of acquisition is registered in addition to the fair value of non-controlling equity in the net assets specified and acquired as reputation in the consolidated financial position statement. Non-controlling equity is measured by its share of Group’s net-controlled assets at the date of acquisition. The group presents share of profit or loss and net non-controlled assets as an independent item in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and within the shareholders’ equity in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. All unrealized transactions, balances, profits and losses arising from dealings among the Group’s companies. Subsidiaries’ accounting policies are amended when necessary to ensure they are consistent with the group’s policies. The Group and its subsidiaries develop their financial statements for the same reporting periods.
6- Summary of Major Accounting Policies
Following is a summary of Group’s major accounting policies:Properties, machinery and equipmentProperties, machinery and equipment appear in costs after entering accumulated amortizations. They include costs to expenses directly ascribed to acquisition of assets. When parts of one item of properties, machinery and equipment have different productive lives, they are counted as separate items (main components) of properties, machinery and equipment. Expenses of repair and maintenance are revenue expenses while improvement expenses are capital expenses. Amortizations are counted on the basis of their estimated productive life using the straight-line method. Sold or excluded assets and their accumulated amortization are deleted from accounts on the date of selling or exclusion.

143142 Annual Report 2018
a.) Financial assets
On the date of each financial position statement, values of financial assets are reviewed to know if there is something to indicate any depreciation. Financial assets are like receivables and assets that are individually assessed as not depreciating. They are assessed for depreciation on a collective basis. A substantive proof of depreciation of receivables portfolio may include the Group’s previous experience with respect to payment collection and increase of late payments which may exceed the period of debt. It may also include remarkable changes in local and international economic conditions related to default of receivables. The listed value of a financial asset is directly reduced by the amount of depreciation loss for all financial assets with the exception of commercial receivables. A listed value is reduced through creating a provision account. When one of receivables are considered uncollectable, the amount of receivable and the corresponding amount are deleted in the provision account.
Changes to the value listed in the provision account are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
When it comes to instruments of shareholders’ equity though other comprehensive income, the previously acknowledged losses of depreciation are not reflected in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Any increase in fair value coming after a depreciation loss is directly recognized in the consolidated statement of change in shareholders’ equity.
a.) Non-financial assets
On the date of each financial position statement, the Group reviews the listed values of its assets to find any evidence that these assets have incurred depreciation losses. In case such evidence exists, the asset redeemable value is estimated to determine the depreciation loss, if any. In case it is not possible to estimate the redeemable value of a certain asset, the Group estimates the redeemable value of cash generating unit to which the assets affiliates. When reasonable and fixed distribution bases are identified, joint assets are distributed to specific cash generating units or distributed to the smaller group of cash generating units for which it is possible to determine reasonable and fixed distribution bases. A redeemable value is the fair value of the asset minus selling cost or value of use, whichever higher.
In case the redeemable value of an asset (cash generating unit) is estimated lower than the listed value, the listed value of asset (cash generating unit) is reduced to the redeemable value. Depreciation losses are directly recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, unless the asset is reassessed, then the depreciation losses are recorded as a reduction from the reassessment provision.
Cancellation of Recognition
The company cancels recognition of a financial asset only at the expiry of contractual rights related to receipt of cash flows from the financial asset, substantially the transfer of all ownership risks and benefits to another establishment. If the Group fails to transfer or chooses to substantially retain ownership risks and benefits and continuously control the transferred asset, the Group recognizes its retained share in the transferred asset and related liabilities within limits of amounts expected to be paid. In case all ownership risks and benefits of a transferred asset are substantially retained by the Group, it continues to recognize the financial asset.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of these instruments. Financial assets and liabilities are initially assessed by fair value. Costs of transaction directly related to purchasing or issuing financial assets and liabilities (other than financial assets and liabilities with fair value through consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income) are added to the fair value of financial assets and liabilities or deducted from the same, when necessary, at initial recognition. Costs of transaction directly related to purchasing financial assets and liabilities, which are measured by fair value through consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, are directly recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
First: Financial Assets
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, financial assets through other comprehensive income and loans and receivables. Classification depends on the nature and objective of financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. Recognition of all financial asset sale and purchase operations is conducted by normal means on the basis of dealing date. Operations of sale or purchase by normal means are purchases and sales of financial assets requiring the delivery of assets within definite time framework pursuant to regulations or market norms.
a.) Financial Assets Determined at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
Financial assets retained for trading are classified through the consolidated statement of profit or loss when they are retained for trading purposes or selected to be so classified.
Financial assets retained for trading are classified if they:
- Are acquired mainly for being sold in the near future.
- Represent a part of well-known financial instruments portfolio run by the Group and includes a real pattern of a financial instrument that achieves profits on the short term.
- Represent a financial derivative but not classified or active as a hedging instrument.
Financial assets not retained for trading can be classified as financial assets determined at fair value through statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income at initial registration in the following cases:
- Such classification cancels or largely reduces any inconsistent measurement or calculation that may result unless classification is done this way.
- A financial asset represents a part of a set of financial assets or liabilities or both, which are run and their performance is assessed on fair value basis as per the Group’s risk management or documented investment strategy. Information about the set of financial assets or liabilities is internally obtained on this basis.
- The financial asset represents a part of a contract that contains a derivative including one or more, and that IAS No. 39 related to financial instruments allows a turnkey compound contract to be classified as financial assets determined at fair value through consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Financial assets determined by fair value through statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income appear with their fair value. Any profit or loss resulting from reassessing through statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is recognized.
Net profit or loss includes any profit distributions or interest due from the financial asset and included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
b.) Financial Assets Determined by Fair Value through other comprehensive income statement
The Group’s owned listed shares – circulated in an active financial market as financial assets – are classified through other comprehensive income and included at fair value. The Group also possesses investments in unlisted shares not traded in active markets but so classified as financial assets through other comprehensive income and registered at fair value as Management sees it is possible to measure their fair value in an authentic manner. Profits and losses arising out of change in fair value are included within other comprehensive income items, which are added to the item of accumulated changes in fair value of investments within equity with the exception of depreciation losses. Such depreciation losses are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in case of excluding investment or there is a depreciation in its value. Profits or losses resulting from previous assessment and recorded in the reserve for reassessing investments are included in the other comprehensive income statement.Any revenues from distribution of profits investments through other comprehensive income are recognized when the Group has an emerging right to receive payments for profits of these investments.
c.) Receivables
Receivables are underivative financial assets of fixed or identifiable payments, not listed in any active market. Receivables, including commercial and other receivables, bank balances and cash with amortized cost are measured using the actual interest method without any loss or depreciation, which is determined in profits or losses.
Interest revenues are identified by applying the actual interest rate, with the exception of short-term receivables when the impact of deduction is not significant.

Second: Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities (including loans and receivables) are initially and subsequently measured by amortized cost using actual interest method. The Group ceases to recognize financial liabilities when an obligation is complied with, canceled or terminated. Difference between book value of excluded financial liabilities and paid amount is recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Method of Actual Interest Rate
The method of actual interest rate is a means to calculate the amortized cost of debt instrument and distribute revenues of interests on the relevant year. An actual interest rate is the one that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and paid or received points, that constitute an integral part of actual interest rate, transaction costs, installments or other discounts) through the expected life of debt instrument or a shorter period – when necessary – to net book value at initial recognition.
Cash and balances with banks
Cash and balances with banks include balances with banks, resales for profit and other high liquidity investments transferrable into known cash amounts and payable within three months or less as of the date of purchase.The Group has long-term financial obligations for which cash amounts have been credited. Such amounts are classified as cash recorded in non-current assets.
Receivables
Commercial receivables appear in the original amount of the invoice after deducting provisions by doubtedly-collected debts. A provision of expected credit losses is formed in case there is a substantive evidence indicating the Group’s inability to collect due amounts according to the original conditions of receivables. Bad debts are deleted when they are determined against their related provisions. Provisions are allocated to the profit or loss statement. Any subsequent redemptions of amounts of receivables, previously deleted, shall be added to revenues.
Capital Business under Construction
Capital business under construction appears in costs. It includes the cost of constructions, equipment and direct expenses. Capital business under construction is not amortized; but it will be consumed by the Group when it is ready for use as it will be transferred into properties, machinery and equipment.
Inventory
Inventory is valued by cost or net realizable value, whichever is less. Cost is determined by weighted average method. Provision of stagnant goods is recorded in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income according to the Group’s Policy. The net realizable value represents the estimated sale price within the ordinary course of business minus estimated costs and estimated necessary costs to complete the selling process.
Reputation
Reputation represents the increase of investment costs on fair value of acquired assets at business combination. Reputation is annually assessed to determine depreciation and is recorded with costs minus depreciation losses. Depreciation losses are not reflected after being recorded. Profits or losses of establishment exclusion include the book value of reputation related to sold establishment.In case the cost of acquired investment is less than its fair value in the acquisition date, such difference is settled by reducing the fair value of non-current assets of acquired group on pro rata basis with their book value with the exception of long-term investments in securities.
Payables
Obligations are recorded against amounts payable in the future for received services, whether respective invoices are provided by suppliers.
Revenues
Revenues from sales are recorded when delivering goods and providing services to clients. Revenues of commodity sales are recognized based on a five-step model as indicated in IFRS No. 15:
1.) Identifying the contract with customer: a contract is defined as an agreement between two or more parties. It creates enforceable rights or obligations and determines the standards that must be met.
2.) Identifying the contract performance obligations: a performance obligation is a promise with the customer to transport a commodity or offer a service.
3.) Determining the transaction price: a transaction price is the amount of money a company expects to achieve against transferring commodities or promised services to the customer with the exception of combined amounts on behalf of third parties.
4.) Allocating a price for the transaction: contract performance obligations: for a contract containing more than one performance obligation, the company shall allocate the transaction price for each performance obligation at an amount determining the consideration made by the Company and also determining the amount of consideration the company expects to get against fulfilling each obligation.
5.) Recognizing the revenues when (as) the entity fulfills the performance obligation.
Lease Contracts
Lease contracts are classified as financing leases when risks and ownership benefits are substantially transferred to the lessee under lease contract terms and conditions. Other types of lease contracts are classified as operational lease contracts.
Expenses
All expenses that are direct and related to realization of business revenues consist of salaries, wages and commodity costs that are indirect and credited on sales costs. Expenses of selling and marketing include sales staff salaries and any other expenses related to selling and marketing in the Group’s favor. Other expenses are classified within administrative and general expenses. Joint expenses are distributed between sales costs and administrative and general expenses. Joint expenses are distributed as per constant rules.
Zakat Provision
Discretionary Zakat is an obligation on the Group. It is set right in the attached consolidated financial statements by allocating it to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income according to Zakat Standard and opinion of Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants. It is credited by estimation to the year as per principle of maturity.
Zakat is calculated at the end of year based on the amended net consolidated profit or loss or Zakat Base, whichever is larger, pursuant to the laws applicable in the General Authority for Zakat and Tax. The Group obtained the General Authority for Zakat and Tax’s approval to submit a consolidated Zakat declaration for the Group. Differences between provision and final assessment are addressed in the year in which assessment is received.
Long-Term Loans
Loans are recorded in the net received value. Commissions on loans are recorded using the actual commission rate. Commissions on long-term loans are recorded during the period in which they are due. Commissions on long-term loans for financing capital business under construction are capitalized as part of the expenses of this business.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs, used directly for acquiring, constructing or producing an asset that is qualified for the conditions of capitalizing the borrowing costs, are capitalized as part of the costs of that asset. Qualified assets are those that necessarily require a long time to be ready for use. Other borrowing costs are recorded as expenses in the consolidated profit or loss statement in the period during which they were incurred by the Group.
Staff Remuneration
- End of Service GratuityEnd of service gratuity is determined using expected unit cost method along with conducting an actuarial evaluation at the end of each annual financial period. Remeasurement, which includes actuarial gains and losses, is included in the consolidated financial position statement. However, expenses or credit amounts are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the period in which they were incurred. Recognized remeasurement is immediately included in other comprehensive income within retained profits and not reincluded in profit or loss.
- Retirement BenefitsThe Group pays retirement subscriptions in favor of its Saudi employees to the General Organization for Social Insurance, representing a certain contribution plan. Payments are considered expenses when incurred.
- Short Term Staff RemunerationCommitment to benefits payable to employees in terms of wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave is recognized in the year in which the relevant service is provided in the undiscounted amount for benefits expected to be paid in consideration of this service.
- Actuarial StudyThe Group conducted an actuarial study to staff end of service benefits as at 31 December 2016, 2107 and 2018. There was no substantial difference between the end of service balance according to the actuarial study and the end of service balance recorded in 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018 in Group’s consolidated financial statements.

The net amount is presented in the consolidated financial position statement when there is a binding legal right to make a set-off between these amounts. The Group intends to settle on the basis of the net of these amounts or recognize the asset and settle the obligation at the same time.
Transfer of foreign currency
Transactions conducted in foreign currency are transferred into Saudi Riyal at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of transaction.

A reputation test is conducted on an annual basis. Assets are tested to make sure of any depreciation through comparing book value with redeemable value,
which is determined on the basis of information used in calculating the present value. The present value uses expected cash flows that are based on financial
expectations approved by Senior Management for a period of five years.
Key assumptions used in present value calculation
The Management relied, in its expectations regarding sales growth and total margin, on previous performance and its expectations with respect to market
developments. Discount rates reflect Management’s expectations of sector-related specified risks. The relevant estimations relied on published information and
movement of raw material prices in previous periods, which were used as indicators on future prices movement. Growth rates relied on average industry rates.
Calculation of present value is largely impacted by assumptions related to sales growth rates and inflation in cost of sales used in extracting cash flows for the
period following budget for a period of five years and other factors used for calculation of final value. A final value is calculated using the price-to-earnings ratio.
Sensitivity towards assumption changes
With respect to estimating the current value, Management believes there are no reasonable possible changes in any of the above core assumptions, that may
lead to a major increase in unit book value including reputation compared to its redeemable value. Following are assumptions originating from changes to key
assumptions:
a.) Sales growth-related assumptionsb.) Sales costc.) Final value ratio

c.) Investments through other comprehensive income in stocks of non-trading companies
The Group possesses stocks and shares in non-trading companies. During 2018, the Group contracted with ALDUKHEIL FINANCIAL GROUP, a company licensed
by the Capital Market Authority, practicing its business in investment banking and consulting services. The aim of the contract was to assess and valuate the
market value of companies on the basis of future cash flows, financial analysis and expected growth rates. The market value of Middle East Battery Company
(MEBCO) was SR 798,405,118 (2017: SR 794,190,000), while the market value of National Company of Tourism (Syahya) was SR 687,078,112 (2017: SR 681,560,000).
The Group did not assess investment in United Racing Company. Therefore, investment is processed by fair value method. As it was not possible to determine
its fair value, the best way to determine fair value was the cost.
Following is the Group’s share:

24- Financial instruments and risk management
Fair valueA fair value covers financial assets and liabilities. Financial assets include cash, the like, receivables and securities. However, financial liabilities include payables,
loans and other payable balances.
Level One: market prices announced in active markets for the same financial instruments.
Level Two: assessment methods depending on inputs affecting fair value and can be directly or indirectly noticed in the market.
Level Three: assessment methods depending on inputs affecting fair value and cannot be directly or indirectly noticed in the market.

The value indicated in Level Three reflects the purchase cost of these assets and not their fair value due to lack of active market. Therefore, the Group’s
Management sees that the purchase cost is the ideal method to calculate the fair value of these assets, and their value is not depreciating.
Capital Risk Management
The Group manages its capital to ensure its durability. It gets the highest revenue from the ideal limit of debt and equity balances. Group’s total strategy of 2017
did not change.
The structuring of the Group’s capital includes shareholders’ equity which consists of capital, reserves, fair value reserve and retained profits as listed in
shareholders’ equity change statement.
Financial Risk Management
Group’s business may be substantially affected by financial risks arising out of the following:
- Foreign currency risk management
The Group is not subject to significant risks related to foreign currency exchange. Therefore, there is no need to efficiently manage this issue.
- Interest rate risk management
The financial instruments in the consolidated financial position statement are not subject to interest rates and risks.
- Other price risks
The Group is subject to price risks arising out of its equity investments in other companies. It retains investments in title deeds of other companies for strategic
but not trading purposes. In addition, it does not actively trade in such investments.
- Credit risk management
A credit risk exists when one party to a financial instrument contract fails to comply with its contractual obligations. This leads the Group to incur financial
losses. The Group is subject to credit risks on its bank balances and receivables as follows:
2018(Saudi Riyal)
2017 (amended)

Cash and balances with banks

95,215,346
94,866,469
213,762,315 190,081,815
- Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risks are represented in difficulties an establishment faces in providing funds to meet obligations related to financial instruments. Liquidity risks may
result from inability to sell certain financial assets rapidly and at an amount equal to their fair value.
Liquidity risks are managed by regularly controlling them to ensure the availability of funds necessary for fulfilling the Group’s future obligations.
25- Debt Ratio
The Board of Directors periodically reviews capital structuring. As part of this review, the Board takes into account the cost of capital and risks related to each
category of capital and debt. The Group’s capital structure includes debts through borrowing. It hasn’t determined maximum debt ratio and does not expect an
increase in debt ratio through issuing new debt releases in 2019.
Following is the debt ratio at the end year:
2018(Saudi Riyal)

26- Earnings per share

million shares after takin into consideration with retroactive effect the increase of Group’s number of shares during the second quarter of 2018 (Note 1). Earnings
per share are calculated from core operations by dividing the income of core operations on weighted average of existing number of shares as at the end of year,
being 60 million shares after takin into consideration with retroactive effect the increase of Group’s number of shares during the second quarter of 2018 (Note 1).
