Vision
The Company aims to be the leading ICT solutions and services partner to the Kingdom and the region.

Message
The Company seeks to successfully implement and provide its vast knowledge and expertise in delivering the best
technology solutions, making Saudi Arabia’s ICT industry a core enabler of community development and prosperity.

Strategy
The Company carries out its business as a provider of comprehensive services and solutions in the ICT sector, providing
a range of solutions and services through six integrated Business Units. Each Unit covers a significant segment of ICT
domains and disciplines. Business Units operate in in light of an interdependent and integrated environment to deliver
comprehensive solutions with the highest standards of quality and excellence in the market. The Company strives to take
advantage of its leading position to continue to gain market share by consolidating its ICT partnership for its customers
from the public and private sector. The Company continues to expand its presence in the Kingdom and strengthen its
portfolio of products and services with a view to maximizing shareholders’ returns. To achieve this vision, the Company
adopted the following business strategy:

(A) Increasing Governmental Works


The Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and Vision Realization Program represent a significant opportunity for ICT solutions
and service providers. The Company already has well established relationships with government agencies, with
government contracts accounting for 59.34% of the Company’s revenues in the first half of 2018G (30/06/2018G) (for
further information, please refer to Section ‎4.8.3 (“Customers”) of this Prospectus). The Vision Realization Program is
expected to enhance demand in the entire business portfolio of the Company. The Company believes that its excellent
implementation history, strong financial position and comprehensive skills in the ICT fields and disciplines will enable it
to gain a significant share in this growth. In addition, the Company has the highest level contractor rating for government
contracts in the field of e-business, enabling it to bid on all government ICT business (for more details, please refer to
Section 12 (“Legal Information”) of this Prospectus).

(B) Disciplined and Regular Growth


The Company has always been disciplined with regard to the size and scope of its business, launching new Business Units
only after rigorous market studies. In addition, the Company has long been trusted by customers with their business.
Before promoting its existing product offerings or launching new service lines, the Company closely monitors emerging
market trends, changes in customer preferences and requirements, and new technology developments. Over the years,
the Company has aligned its Business Units with the prevailing market trends. This reflects the rapidly changing nature
of the ICT sector and is a testament to the Company’s dynamic management team, which has always been able to adapt
and respond to the market. At present, the Company aims to expand the scope of its high margin business through:

1- Expanding its portfolio of professional services related to emerging technologies and digital transformation
services, particularly cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and information security;
2- Increasing its investments in software-as-a-service capabilities through acquisitions and partnerships.
3- Expanding its portfolio of solutions especially in healthcare, smart cities, e-development, process technologies,
and mobility.

xii
(C) Focus on emerging technologies
The Company regularly follows new technologies, industry segments, and market trends in the ICT sector. The Company
has the ability to offer greater value propositions to its customers to achieve efficient business execution, improve
productivity, and reduce costs by working closely with its customers.

(D) Expansion through complementary technology and sub-sectors


The Company will use its knowledge, innovations, and expertise in ICT to deliver bespoke products to meet the individual
needs of the customers’ sectors. For example, there is a new wave of convergence between information technology and
industrial process management technology. This represents significant savings opportunity for industrial customers. In
addition, the Company is exploring other technologies and solutions such as industrial security and energy efficiency
solutions.

(E) Further strengthening supplier partnerships


For each of its six Business Units, the Company has longstanding and well established relationships with some of the
world’s leading ICT companies. Examples are:
—— Solutions Unit: Oracle, ESRI, IBM, Link, eProceed and SAP.
—— System Unit: HPE, Aruba, VMWARE, Microsoft, Dell EMC and Veeam.
—— Networking Unit: Cisco, F5, Schneider Electric and Netnuvem.
—— Information Security Unit: Palo Alto, Symantic, Intel Security, Fire Eye and Zinad.
—— Business Services Management Unit: BMC, FLEXERA and BDNA.
—— Operation and Maintenance Unit: Column IT and Vyom Labs.
The Company’s relationship with strategic suppliers has long been of benefit to both parties. On the one hand, the
Company has the ability to deliver leading ICT products and services to its customers; on the other hand, suppliers
have access to the growing ICT market in the Kingdom (please refer to Section ‎4.8.4 (“Supplier Partnerships”) of this
Prospectus for more information on the strategic supplier partnerships concluded by the Company). The Company will
continue to seek strategic opportunities to enhance its relationship with suppliers.

(F) Flexibility through non-exclusive relationships with suppliers


While the Company values its strategic supplier relationships, and despite that the non-exclusive nature of these
relationships can lead to an increase to the Company’s competitors (which is a risk), the non-exclusivity affords the
Company greater flexibility in offering products and solutions tailored to specifications which are required by its
customers. Often, this may require the Company to procure products and services from its non-strategic suppliers (for
more information, please refer to Section ‎4.8.4 (“Supplier Partnerships”)).

(G) Maintaining a reputation for reliability and high quality services


The Company enjoys an excellent reputation for its quality, accurate and reliable services. The Company’s long-term
customer relationships, coupled with its track record of successful and timely project implementation, are proof of the
quality of its brand and services. In order to maintain this high level of excellence, the Company will continue to recruit
highly skilled staff to ensure that its services are delivered in accordance with the highest standards. The Company has
also established a project management office to ensure quality and execute projects on time (for more information, please
refer to Section 4‎ .9.3 (“Project Management Office”)). The Company will strengthen this range of factors to enhance
the Company’s reputation in the market to establish customer relationships and significantly increase potential revenue
streams.

(H) Strengthening relationships with strategic customers


The Company intends to strengthen its long-term relationships with strategic customers in both the public and private

from favourable domestic, regional and international trends in the ICT industry. Some of these demand drivers are
attributed to macro socio-economic factors, while others are linked to the Company’s specific competitive advantages.
Due to the size, quality and diversity of services, the Company believes it is well placed to take advantage of the growing
economic trends and demands in the ICT sector.

(A) A comprehensive portfolio of ICT solutions and services


The Company is considered a comprehensive ICT services provider providing a full range of services, starting from basic
hardware and software maintenance services to the largest system integration projects with complex components and
.configuration Customers prefer obtaining an integrated “comprehensive” solution from a single provider that can be more
efficient, cost-effective, and accountable to having to deal with different suppliers, which may increase the duration and
cost of a project and reduce efficiency. The Company believes that its ability to provide an integrated solution to all needs
of its ICT customers’ can increase its customer base and establish long-term and ongoing contracts with its customers, all
of which enhance its position in the market. Today, the Company maintains the highest level of reliability of its strategic
suppliers across its Business Units, given its qualified, well-trained, and highly efficient employees providing solutions

different technologies from different suppliers to provide its customers with the most comprehensive and cost-effective
solutions. This is a complex process that requires deep knowledge and skills, which the Company has. The Company
has also the ability to develop niche products, such as the IT Service Management Platform it developed in collaboration
with BMC. The Company believes that this comprehensive presentation is one of the main reasons why customers prefer
the Company to meet their ICT needs.

(B) Effective project management


The Company is one of the most distinguished companies in a highly competitive and complex sector and implements
a high level of project control to maximize the speed and quality of the services it provides to its customers. The
Company has established a Project Management Office (PMO) and has implemented effective quality control processes
and procedures. The PMO is responsible for overseeing the development of appropriate staff for each project as well
as monitoring funding and billing for each project. The Company believes that this model will help achieve the highest
standards of service delivery in order to meet and exceed customer expectations, while improving its resources in order
to maximize returns (for more details, please refer to Section ‎4.9.3 (“Project Management Office”)).

xiv

the Company strives to deliver the maximum level of quality and excellence to meet customer satisfaction. The Company

customer relationships and the long term contracts secured by the Company. The Company believes that maintaining the
highest level of service will enhance its current reputation and position in the market, strengthen its relationships with
existing customers and increase the prospects of attracting new customers as well as its expansion into new service lines.

(E) Established brand/corporate identity


The Company has worked hard to develop a clear brand identity to deliver the highest quality and secure services that
are trusted by customers in the ICT sector. The Company also benefits from its strong and ongoing relationships with its
ICT partners in its Business Units, including Oracle (Platinum Partner), Cisco (Gold Partner), HPE (Platinum Partner),
Palo Alto (Diamond Partner), McAfee (Platinum Partner), Symantic (Gold Partner), Fire Eye (Gold Partner), Starlinks
(Gold Partner), Microsoft (Gold Partner) and VM Wire (Premium Partner) (suppliers will rate the partnership on the
basis of the following criteria: (1) the number of employees who have been trained and passed the tests of the supplier’s
technology, noting that there is a minimum level of staff and specialization for each level in the rating of the partnership;
(2) the value of the business carried out with the supplier, where each level of partnership requires a minimum level of
business; and (3) sometimes the supplier requests that the Company have a demo and trial system (Demo Kit) and others
with good reputation and goodwill at the regional and global level (for further information, see Section ‎4.8.4 (“Supplier
Partnerships”)) of this Prospectus.

The Company is considered to be one of the leading providers of integrated ICT solutions in the Kingdom based on,
among others factors, the size and scope of its business and the scale of its established and growing customer base.

The awards and credits granted to the Company in recent years are proof of the quality of the brand and its services.
The Company believes that this unique brand identity will help it maintain its position in the market and enhance its
business (for more information on some of the Company’s recent awards, please refer to Section ‎4.8.7 (“Awards”) of
this Prospectus).

(F) Economies of scale and competitive pricing


The Company is renowned in the market for providing competitive prices for its services. Due to the volume and scale of
the Company’s business, it is able to negotiate better terms with key suppliers, allowing the Company to continue to offer
competitive prices to its customers whilst at the same time maintaining healthy margins. In addition, the Company’s
relative financial strength, compared to its peers, enables the Company to undertake large-scale projects, spanning
multiple service lines and technologies and over several years. For example, the Company achieved the highest rating
from the Ministry of Municipality and Rural Affairs for service providers, which enables the Company to bid for large-
scale government projects (for more information, please refer to Section 12 (“Legal Information”)).

(G) Qualified and experienced staff


The Company has an internal regulatory culture that promotes business ethics. The Company believes that human capital
is the most important asset. Over the years, it has benefited from the experience of many of its highly skilled employees.

business model. The team consists of certified IT engineers, qualified communications engineers, pre-sales service
engineers, and account managers, all of which enhance the Company’s value and business spirit in all ICT specialties
and services. The Company has maintained good relations with its employees, and there are no threatening or imminent
disputes (for more information, please refer to Section 4.11 (“Staff”) of this Prospectus).

xv
(H) Local knowledge
One of the most important factors that contributed to the Company’s growth is its deep knowledge and understanding of
its client’s business culture and working environment, whether in the public or private sector. This detailed knowledge
and deep understanding enables the Company to deliver bespoke solutions to its customers, often by highly qualified and
informed employees working directly with its customers. The suppliers also value the Company’s deep local knowledge
and understanding, allowing such suppliers to access to the Saudi market through the Company rather than establishing
their presence in the Kingdom. This explains the well-established and mutually beneficial partnerships that the Company
has fostered with its suppliers over time (for more information, please refer to Section ‎4.8.4 (“Supplier Partnerships”)).

(I) Asset Light Model


Under its current business model, the Company markets, sells, customizes, integrates, and delivers after-sales services
with regard to ICT products and services provided by third parties; the Company does not develop or own proprietary
ICT products or services. This means that the Company’s business model is not capital intensive. As of the first half of
2018G, the Company’s total non-current assets amounted to SAR 10,9 million, equivalent to 1.2% of the total assets
(SAR 914,8 million) for the same period.

The key advantage of keeping low capital costs is that it affords the Company flexibility to adapt to changes in the
market (for more information, please refer to Section 4‎ .8.8 (“Future Projects”) of this Prospectus). As an additional
benefit of this model, the Company does not take responsibility for customers’ selection of software or configuration
options. The Company is also not exposed to risks due to defects, obsolescence, or failure of the product as it is not
a party to the end user license agreement (“EULA”) with the customer. The EULA is concluded directly between the
supplier and customers (for more information, please refer to Section 12 (“Legal Information”) of this Prospectus for
further information regarding the terms of contractual relations between the Company and suppliers on the one hand and
suppliers and customers on the other.)

(J) Growth opportunities in the market


The Company believes that the ICT sector is expected to grow at a steady pace in the next few years driven by:
—— Development and growth of the Saudi economy
—— Emergence of ICTs in light of Vision 2030 and Vision Realization Programs
—— Increased awareness of cybercrime against the background of large data penetration operations
—— The need to align business with the latest technologies (such as automation, robots, cloud computing, and
artificial intelligence)
—— Lack of readily available qualified staff across the ICT value chain
The Company believes that these developments are expected to contribute to the growth of the ICT sector in the future
and due to its size and diverse service offerings, the Company is well-positioned to capitalize on this growth.

Industry and Market Data


Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the GCC, with a gross domestic product of SAR 2,575 billion in 2017G.

The Kingdom prides itself on providing high-speed internet access and high prevalence rates of mobile and smart
phones. Emerging technologies such as cloud computing, analytics, and mobile computing are increasingly used by
companies. It is worth mentioning that government initiatives such as Neom, the smart city of Yanbu, e-governance
programs, and other digital transformation programs in all areas are the main driver of increased technology spending.

IT spending in Saudi Arabia is expected to reach SAR 48 billion by 2021G, an increase of CAGR of 4.6% compared to
2017G in which spending was SAR 40,1 billion. IT services accounted for 33% of the total spending, while the hardware

2.  Risk Factors
Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors, and all other information contained in this
Prospectus, prior to making an investment decision with respect to the Offer Shares. However, the risk factors described
below may not include all risks that the Company may encounter, which means that there may be additional factors that
are currently unknown to the Company, or currently considered by the Company to be immaterial, which may materially
and adversely affect the Company’s operations, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects, if they
occur or materialize, that may lead to lower Share Price and could weaken the Company’s ability to distribute dividends
to Shareholders, or the investors may lose all or part of their investments in Shares.

The Company’s Directors also confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no other material risks
as of the date of this Prospectus besides those mentioned in this section that may affect investors’ decisions to invest
in the Offer Shares. All prospective investors willing to subscribe to the Offer Shares should assess the risks related to
the Company’s shares, the Offering in general, and the economic and regulatory environment in which the Company
operates.

An investment in the Offer Shares is only suitable for investors who are capable of evaluating the risks and merits of
such an investment and who have sufficient resources to bear any loss which might result from such an investment.
Prospective investors who have doubts about which actions to take should refer to a financial adviser duly licensed by
the CMA for advice about investing in the Offer Shares.

The risks stated below are not arranged in an order based on their importance and their expected impact on the Company.

2.1   Risks related to the Company’s operations and activities


2.1.1  Contractual terms with suppliers
All of the supplier agreements that the Company has in place are on a non-exclusive basis meaning that the suppliers
are free to enter into agreements with the Company’s competitors with respect to the same products and services. In
addition, suppliers may terminate certain agreements without cause (for more details, please refer to Section 12 (“Legal
Information”) of this Prospectus). If any of the Company’s key suppliers were to enter into an exclusive agreement with
a competitor, or if the Company’s agreement with the supplier is terminated or not renewed, there is no guarantee that
the Company will be able to enter into alternative contracts with other suppliers under similar terms and conditions. This
will have a material adverse effect on the products and services offered by the Company and will have a material adverse
effect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future prospects.

2.1.2  Direct Sales by the Company’s suppliers


The Company’s business is dependent on the marketing and sale of products and services, including customized services
(which ensure that suppliers’ products are adjusted to suit the needs and business of the Company’s customers) and
post-sale services provided to third parties. As of the date of this Prospectus, direct sales between the Company’s
suppliers (manufacturers) and end users in the Kingdom are limited or non-existent, and therefore suppliers rely on local
distributors (such as the Company) to market, sell, and distribute their products and services in the Kingdom. If one
of the Company’s major suppliers decides to expand their operations in the Kingdom by directly selling or providing
their services to end-users, the Company’s market share may decline, and this will have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future prospects.

2.1.3  Increase in prices by key suppliers


The Company is able to obtain competitive prices from its major suppliers because it has been classified as a privileged
partner given that it has met qualitative and quantitative standards over the past years (for more details, please refer to
Section ‎4.8.4 (“Supplier Partnerships”) of this Prospectus). These benefits are subject to periodic evaluation (usually
conducted on an annual basis). The cost of the Company’s operations would be materially affected if the prices of the
services and products offered to the Company were increased by any of its major suppliers, including through, for
example, an increase due to the removal or reduction of benefits offered to the Company. The Company would then have
to incur these increases if it failed to raise the prices of products and services provided to its customers, which would
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future prospects.

2.1.4  Fluctuation in the profit margin ratio in the Business Services Management
Unit
The revenues of the Company’s Business Services Management Unit constitute 9.3%, 14.3%, 16.0%, 6.0%, and 11.5%
out of the total revenues of the Company during the years 2015G, 2016G, and 2017G, and the first half of 2017G

5
and 2018G respectively, while the profit margin of the same period accounted for 21.0%, 33.3%, 41.9%, 18.0%, and
25.3%respectively out of the Company’s total profits for the same periods. Despite the decrease in the gross profit
margin of the Company’s Business Services Management Unit during the first half of 2018G (compared to the same
period of 2017G), revenues of these operations increased by 198.6% during the first half of 2018G (for further details, see
Section ‎6 (“Management Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations”) of this Prospectus).
The Company does not guarantee its ability to maintain high margin ratios in Business Services Management Unit
or to increase sufficient margin ratios in its other business to cover any future changes in the percentage of profits of
its electronic services which may affect the Company’s gross margin. This will have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s business, financial position, results of operations and profits.

2.1.5  Failure by the Company to keep up with technological developments


The ICT industry is characterized by rapid technological changes, evolving industry standards and the introduction of
new products and services that could result in product obsolescence and short product cycles. The Company’s future
success will depend on its ability to introduce these developments and enhance its existing technical and professional
portfolio or obtain new services to meet customer needs in a timely manner and for a reasonable cost. There is no
guarantee that the Company will succeed in delivering or responding to such advances in a timely manner and for a
reasonable cost. Even if the Company is able to respond to developments, the Company does not guarantee the success
of services or technologies provided suppliers in the sector. The Company may also be unsuccessful in providing new
or upgraded services due insufficient customer demand for such services or due to the Company’s inability to provide
or update these new services in an effective manner (see Section 4.8.8 (“Future Projects”) of this Prospectus for more
information).

The Company’s failure to meet the evolving requirements of the ICT industry, especially with respect to emerging
technologies or technological obsolescence, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial
position and results of operations.

2.1.6  Failure by the Company to adapt to customer requirements


The ICT industry is sensitive to changes in customer preferences and market trends. Any change in the preferences or
requirements of customers could result in reduced effectiveness or demand for the Company’s products and services.
For example, any concerns about fraud, information privacy, or other similar issues may reduce customer and business
demand for products or services currently offered by the Company or which it may offer in the future (see Section ‎4.8.8
(“Future Projects”) of this Prospectus for more information).

The Company may also be unable to adapt to changes in customer preferences in a timely or cost-effective manner.
Moreover, the Company may not be able to provide new products that satisfy customer needs through its suppliers and
/ or the Company’s competitors may provide better options. Any change in customer preferences may result in a decline
in their demand on the products and services provided by the Company. This will have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s business, financial position and results of operations.

2.1.7  Risks related to contracts with government parties


The Company offers ICT solutions to a number of governmental and semi-governmental agencies. Other ICT companies
also subcontract government projects to the Company (see Section 4.8.3 (“Customers”) of this Prospectus for more
information). The percentage of governmental and semi-governmental contracts reached 65.8%, 58.5%, 62.2%, 56.1%
and 68.0% of total sales during the years 2015G, 2016G and 2017G, and the first half of 2017G and 2018G, respectively.
Most of the risk associated with governmental contracts is inherent in the government contracting process and include
delays in obtaining internal approvals for contracts, political, and economic factors that may affect the number, value and
terms of contracts awarded by government agencies. Government contracts also contain more stringent terms than other
commercial contracts and it is difficult to negotiate the terms and conditions of government contracts concluded by the
Company, compared to other commercial contracts. (See Section 12 (“Legal Information”) of this Prospectus for further
information). Thus, this will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial
position, and future prospects.

2.1.8  Risks related to changes in income ratios due to termination, postponement


or reduction of scope of work
Contracts and purchase orders entered into between the Company and its customers include terms and conditions relating
to the termination, suspension/termination or reduction of the scope of the project at the option of the customer. If a
customer decides to cancel, postpone or reduce the scope of a project, this will adversely affect the project’s revenues
and cash flows. In the event that such the contract or purchase order for a material project such terms and conditions, this
could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations.

6
2.1.9  Risks related to dependence on government parties
The Company’s business and profits depend largely on the services it provides to its customers in general and the
services it provides to government and semi-governmental entities in particular. The percentage of the Company’s sales
to governmental and semi-governmental entities (which ministries, government agencies, companies owned directly
or indirectly by the government, or companies controlled by the government through ownership or ability to appoint
directors) to its total sales during 2015G, 2016G and 2017G and the first half of 2017G and 2018G reached 65.8%,
58.5%, 62.2%, 56.1% and 68.0% respectively. In the event that the Company is unable to maintain good and stable
relations with its public sector customers for any reason, this will have a material adverse effect on the results of its
operations, which will cause a decrease or fluctuation in sales and .profit margins This will have a material adverse effect
on the Company’s future performance, results, prospects, financial position, and share price. Issues that materially and
adversely affect Company’s revenues from such customers include:

a- the Company’s inability to renew its contracts with the customer upon expiration of the contract, or the
customers’ desire not renew the same;
b- amending the terms of the contract in a manner that is not in the financial interest of the Company;
c- the Company’s inability to comply with the provisions of certain contracts, resulting in the termination of that
contract or the amendment of its provisions; and
d- termination or withdrawal of the contract upon the request of the customers.

(See Section 4.8.3 (“Customers”) of this Prospectus for further information).

2.1.10  Risks related to the inability of the Company to maintain its employee
headcount
The Company relies on its employees to provide services to its customers. If the Company cannot staff projects
appropriately, the Company may not be able to complete its projects within the timeframe or specifications of the
customer. As for O&M projects, the Company’s failure to recruit staff from an existing service provider or external
sources may result in delayed project implementation. Moreover, if the Company was unable to terminate or transfer its
staff upon the completion of a project, or transfer such staff to the new service provider, the Company may be left with
a surplus of employees, which will increase its operating costs and affect its profitability This would have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future prospects.

2.1.11  Risks related to financing and credit facilities


(A) Risks related to existing financing arrangements
The Company has entered into a number of short-term loans with various local banks to meet its working capital
requirements. The short-term loans amounted to SAR 215,2 million, SAR 162,2 million, SAR 179,1 million, SAR
213,1 million during 2015G, 2016G, and 2017G, and the first half of 2018G respectively (see Section ‎6 (“Management
Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations”) of this Prospectus for further information).

In some of the facility contracts entered into by the Company, the lenders are entitled, at their sole discretion, to terminate
or cancel such facilities without the prior consent of the Company. In the event that any lender decides to cancel or
terminate the facilities granted to the Company, the creditor may request immediate payment of all due amounts, which
will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future
prospects.

In addition, some of the Company’s financing agreements include undertakings requiring the Company to maintain
certain percentages of its assets, working capital, liabilities, and indebtedness, which may limit the Company’s ability to
distribute dividends to shareholders. Some financing agreements also contain commitments that restrict the Company’s
ability to obtain additional financing, issue guarantees, mortgage any of its properties or sell them in any way without the
prior consent of the relevant lender. (For more details on undertakings of financing agreements, please refer to Section
12 (“Legal Information”) of this Prospectus)

The Company has not complied with certain undertakings in the financing agreements with Alawwal Bank, Banque
Saudi Fransi, NBK, Saudi Investment Bank, SABB, and GIB. The agreements with Alawwal Bank, Banque Saudi
Fransi, and SABB grant the financing party the right to accelerate payment of the amounts due, modify the terms or
conditions of the facilities, or take any other steps to preserve the rights of the financier (including collection of any
collateral provided by the Company). There is no guarantee that the banks will not exercise these rights. There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient alternative sources of financing for repayment of such a
debt. Any of these factors will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial
position, and future prospects.

7
The financing agreements concluded between the Company, NBK, and Saudi Investment Bank have expired and are in
the process of being renewed, but the Company continues to use the facilities granted under those agreement. There is
no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain adequate alternative sources of financing if it fails to renew such
agreements.

(B) Risks related to the ability to provide capital requirements


With respect to the Company’s operations, the Company relies on its working capital, financial position, results of
operation, and cash flows, as well as external financing from commercial banks. The Company’s ability to obtain loans
and facilities from various lenders at lower costs or under acceptable terms depends on its future financial position,
global economic conditions, financial market conditions, interest rates, credit availability from banks or third-party
lenders, and lenders’ trust in the Company. The Company may be unable to obtain sufficient or adequate financing in the
future in order to finance its growth and implement its expansion plans, which would have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future prospects.

(C) Risks related to personal securities and guarantees provided by the founding Shareholders
The Company has entered into agreements with several domestic banks. It has corresponded with the banks with which
it is engaged in facility agreements to approve the Offering of the Company’s Shares for public subscription and to
cancel the personal securities and guarantees provided by Khaled Abdullah Ibrahim Al Moammar and Ibrahim Abdullah
Ibrahim Al Moammar as collateral for repayment of the facilities due thereto. The value of the personal guarantees
provided by the selling shareholders as of 30/06/2018G amounted to SAR 885,888,825. As for the cancellation of the
personal securities and guarantees provided by Khaled Abdullah Ibrahim Al Moammar and Ibrahim Abdullah Ibrahim
Al Moammar, some of the financiers have decided to consider the same upon completion of offering of the Company’s
shares for public subscription. (For more details, please refer to Section 12 (“Legal Information”) of this Prospectus).
These banks may require additional guarantees in exchange for cancellation of the guarantees. However, the Company
may not be able to provide such guarantees, which could result in an increase in the cost of financing required by the
Company. Consequently, this will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations, results of operations,
financial position, and future prospects.

2.1.12  Risks related to decline of the Company’s operating services


The Company’s ability to retain its existing customers and gain new customers depends on its ability to provide efficient
and accurate services with maintain high standards of operation There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to
maintain these standards in the future. The Company’s operations may suffer if it associated with a hacking incident,
delayed project completion, data breaches, or other loss or damage resulting from the software or hardware. This will
have a significant impact on the scope of the Company’s business, especially if it causes a significant reduction in the
volume and number of customers of the Company or impacts Company’s ability to attract new customers. This will
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future prospects.

2.1.13  Company reliance on suppliers, service providers and subcontractors


In order to operate and manage its business, the Company relies on products and services provided by third parties
from suppliers and subcontractors. The total cost of sale of the Company’s top five suppliers during 2015G, 2016G, and
2017G, and the first half of 2017G and 2018G was 64.4%, 67.2%, 68.2%, 75.4% and 62.3% respectively.

Any restriction by any third-party suppliers and subcontractors upon which the Company relies, in addition to temporary
and permanent discontinuation of their business (including but not limited to loss of license or permit, or technical or
industrial malfunctions) or inability to provide their services at acceptable prices or conditions of the Company will
adversely affect the Company. Thus, this will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of
operations, financial position, and future prospects.

Moreover, the Company is unable to directly guarantee the effectiveness and quality of subcontractors when executing
contracts. The Company may be indirectly liable if these suppliers and subcontractors are not able to implement such
contracts and deliver services within the specified timeframe and to the agreed standards. In addition, some agreements
with suppliers also caps on the liability of such suppliers, including with respect to any breach mentioned above (see
Section 12 (“Legal Information”) of this Prospectus for further information). If the Company is unable to pass through
losses (in whole or in part) as a result of supplier of subcontractor default, such loss will have to be borne by Company.
This will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future
prospects.

8
2.1.14  Risks related to malfunctions in the Company’s facilities
The Company currently operates through its head office in Riyadh and its subsidiaries in Jeddah and Al Khobar. Given
the centralization of the Company’s staff and other resources in these facilities, there will be an impact on the Company’s
business and the results of its operations if any of these facilities are damaged by natural disasters, including earthquakes,
floods, fires, or other natural disasters, which would cause serious damage to facilities and real estates. Accordingly,
this will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future
prospects.

2.1.15  Risks related to reliance on information technology


The Company relies heavily on IT systems to connect its six Business Units through its software, systems, and equipment.
Any disruption to IT systems will have an adverse and material impact on their ability to track, record, and analyse the
services they provide to their customers, thereby reducing their ability to deliver their services effectively. Thus, this will
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future prospects.

2.1.16  Risks related to failure to implement future business strategies


The success of the Company’s business depends on its ability to effectively implement its business strategies and future
projects (please see Sections (4.6.3) (“Strategy”) and 4.8.8 (“Future Projects”) of this Prospectus for further information.)
There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to implement its future strategies and projects .within the allocated
timeframes and budgets This will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, and
results of operations in case of failure to implement its strategy and business.

2.1.17  Risks related to failure to provide sufficient insurance coverage for


operational risks
The Company maintains insurance coverage through several types of insurance policies including, but not limited to,
general insurance obligations and product insurance. The Company believes that it has provided insurance against
relevant risks at a reasonable and commercially adequate amount for its business. The Company’s operations may be
affected by a number of risks not covered by insurance or which are covered but at unreasonable commercial prices.
Future accidents may occur for which the Company may not be not insured to cover potential losses or may not be
insured at all. In addition, the Company’s insurance policies include exceptions or limits for coverage, excluding certain
types of loss, damage, and liability from insurance coverage. In these cases, the Company would incur losses that could
have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations.

Moreover, situations may arise that may force the Company to claim compensation from the relevant insurer with
respect to any insured losses or damages. It is possible that the Company’s claims may exceed the value of the insurance
policy held by it, or that the incurred damage may not be covered by insurance, or that the claim filed by the Company
may be rejected by the relevant insurer. The Company may also be unable to obtain sufficient insurance coverage
due to an increase insurance premiums or due to the unavailability of such coverage (due an increase in the premium,
the deductible, or co-insurance requirements). All these factors will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
business, financial position, and results of operations.

2.1.18  Risks related to the Company’s inability to obtain and renew the necessary
licenses, certificates, permits, and approvals
The Company is subject to a number of laws and regulations that require it to obtain the necessary licenses and permits
from competent legal and regulatory authorities in the Kingdom to exercise its business activities The Company currently
maintains a number of licenses, certificates, permits, and approvals related to its business activities, including but not
limited to the Commercial Registration certificates obtained by the Company from the Ministry of Commerce and
Investment, the certificate of Chamber of Commerce membership, the trademark registration certificate, municipality
licenses, and civil defence permits. If the licensee does not comply with certain requirements or does not conduct an
audit to maintain a license (upon submission of a notice to the Company from by the relevant authority). In addition,
upon renewal or amendment of the scope of the license, certificate, or permit, the competent authority may not renew
or amend such documents and may impose conditions that would adversely affect the performance of the Company in
the event that the competent authority has renewed or amended those documents. The Company may believe that it has
fulfilled all the necessary requirements and obtained the necessary licenses to operate. However, a government entity
may request that additional licenses be issued in the future.

The Company may be required to cease certain operations in the event that it is unable to renew a license, if a license
has been suspended, cancelled, or renewed under unfavourable terms, or where the Company fails to obtain additional
licenses that may be required in the future, which may cause interruptions and / or results in the Company sustaining
additional costs, any one or combination of which will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business,
financial position and results of operations.

9
2.1.19  Risks related to protecting the Company’s reputation and brand
In the event that the Company is unable to maintain its market reputation and / or its reputation is suffers significant
damage, some customers and suppliers may terminate or choose not to renew their contracts with the Company, and / or
the Company will not be able to win and attract new customers and suppliers. This will have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future prospects.

2.1.20  Risks related to the protection of the Company’s trade name


The Company has registered its trademark (for more details, please refer to Section 12 (“Legal Information”) of
this Prospectus), and any breach of intellectual property rights or unlawful use of the trademark will result in legal
proceedings and claims before the competent courts to protect the Company’s rights. This is a costly and time consuming
process which would require efforts by Management to follow it. If the Company fails to effectively protect its brand,
this would adversely affect its value, which will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations,
financial position, and future prospects.

2.1.21  Risks related to failure to meet customer needs


The Company’s inability to provide its services in accordance with customer requirements may lead to an erosion of its
brand value and affect its market standing, which may reduce the customer’s dealings with the Company. Thus, this will
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future prospects.

2.1.22  Risks related to the increase in government fees applicable to non-Saudi


employees
In 2016G, the government adopted a number of resolutions aimed at achieving comprehensive reforms of the labour market
in the Kingdom. These resolutions included the introduction of additional fees for each non-Saudi employee working
for a Saudi entity as of 1/1/2018G, in addition to the issuance and renewal fees for the dependents and accompaniers
of non-Saudi employees, which became effective as of 1/7/2017G, which will gradually increase. As a result of these
resolutions, the percentage of government fees paid by the Company to its non-Saudi employees in general increased
by 32.6% (the Company’s Saudization percentage as of 30/06/2018G). The increase in issuance and renewal fees may
cause a non-Saudi employee to encounter a higher cost of living, and this may lead him to work in other countries where
the cost of living is lower. As a result, the Company may have difficulty in retaining non-Saudi employees and may be
forced to bear the cost of the increase in government fees associated with the issuance and renewal of the residences of
non-Saudi employees and their family members, which will cause an increase in the Company’s costs and expenses.
This will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, profits, results of operations, financial position, and
future prospects.

2.1.23  Risk of dependence on key personnel


The success of the Company’s operations and future projects depends on the expertise and efficiency of its management
and technical staff, including Senior Management and senior officers, with long and sufficient years of experience in
ICT sector and related services. Most Management personnel began their careers with the Company, continued for
many years, and have good working relationships with the Company’s customers, suppliers, service providers, local
Saudi market, its lenders, and other entities dealing with the Company. Accordingly, with the exception of certain
members of Senior Management, all employees of the Company are subject to short-term agreements of only one year,
annually renewable (according to business requirements). If the Company failed to retain its Senior Management and
key personnel, whether due to non-renewal of their contracts or inability to recruit new qualified personnel with the
same experience for reasonable remuneration, this would have an material adverse effect on its ability to maintain one
of the six Business Units or to launch and introduce other Business Units (for further information, please refer to Section
4.8.8 (“Future Projects”) of this Prospectus), which will have an adverse impact on the Company and the results of its
operations, financial position, and future prospects.

2.1.24  Risks related to employee misconduct and errors


Employee’s conduct emissions or errors may cause the Company to be in violation of applicable Employee misconduct
or error may cause the Company to be in violation of applicable regulations, including, for example, accidents resulting
from the installation of devices and systems, which can result in the imposition of penalties on the Company by the
competent authorities which will vary depending on the severity of the violation, potential financial liability, or material
damage to the Company’s reputation. There is no guarantee that the Company can rectify such misconduct or error. The
precautions taken by the Company to deter such misconduct or errors may not be sufficient in all cases. The Company’s
employees and agents may commit errors that may expose the Company to claims and legal proceedings relating to
compensation for such alleged negligence, as well as formal actions and steps that would have a material adverse effect
on the Company’s business, financial position, results and goodwill.

10
2.1.25  Risks related to claims and litigation
The Company may become exposed to lawsuits, claims, and other judicial proceedings related to its, business operations
including from customers, suppliers, and employees. The Company cannot predict the outcome of such proceedings, and
any unfavourable result could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results
of operations. In addition, the Company anticipate the costs of such actions brought by or against it, or the final outcome
of such claims or judgements, including penalties and damages. Therefore, any negative decision will have an adverse
impact on the Company. The Company may be subject to labour claims and complaints or actions for infringement of
intellectual property rights or trademarks by suppliers, competitors, or third parties. In the event that the Company is
subject to a negative judicial or quasi-judicial decision, and such decisions requires the payment of large compensatory
amounts beyond the financial capacity of the Company, this would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
business, aspirations, results of operations, financial position, and future prospects (for more details, please refer to
Section 12 (“Legal Information”) of this Prospectus).

2.1.26  Risks related to the prices of the Company’s products and services
(A) Competition among ICT service providers
Company’s customers may request lower prices for services provided by the Company. In particular, the entry of new
companies and suppliers to IT sector, or expansion, development and integration of competitors’ existing business, will
result in an increase in the number of service providers which may lead to a reduction in the prices of products and
services provided by the Company. Reduced prices as a result of the above will lead to a decrease in the Company’s
profit margins from services provided to customers, thereby reducing the Company’s profits from its business in general.
This will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations.

(B) Operating costs


Over the past few years, there has been a gradual increase in the Company’s operating expenditure. Among the reasons
for such increase is a 3% increase in staff salaries between 2015G and 2017G, and the Company expects that operating
costs will increase in the coming years.

In the event the Company fails to manage and control such increases in operating costs and retain the profit margin (by
increasing the prices of services provided in proportion to operating costs) will have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations.

2.1.27  Risks related to higher doubtful debts due by major customers and
government entities
The Company is exposed to the risk that customers delay or fail to make payments for services rendered by the Company.
This risk may arise due to disputes between customers and the Company regarding the quality of the services provided to
them or the financial difficulties that customers may face, such as liquidity or bankruptcy issues. In addition, government
agencies work on an annual budgeting cycle, which means outstanding invoices are delayed and payments are made
in lump sums at year end. The Company’s receivables as at 30/06/2018G amounted to SAR 374,0 million being due
from various customers, of which SAR 333,2 million (or 89.1%) is owed to governmental and quasi-governmental
entities. Doubtful debts amounted to SAR 2,2 million as of 30/06/2018G. (For more details, please refer to Section (‎6)
(“Management Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations”) of this Prospectus).

Any late payment of amounts due and / or any significant increase in amounts receivable by customers or contractors
and / or insufficient doubtful debts will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s cash flow, financial position,
and results of operations.

2.1.28  Risks related to newly implemented corporate governance rules


The Board of Directors adopted Company’s internal corporate governance manual, which took effect from 10/1/1440H
(corresponding to 20/09/2018G). Such manuals include rules and procedures related to corporate governance derived
from the Corporate Governance Regulations issued by CMA. The Company’s success in the implementation of corporate
governance rules and procedures will depend on the extent of comprehension and understanding of these rules and proper
execution of such rules and procedures by the Board of Directors, its committees and senior executives, especially with
regards to the formation of the Board and its committees thereof, independence requirements, rules related to conflict of
interests, and related parties’ transactions. Failure to comply with the governance rules, especially the mandatory rules
that have derived from the Corporate Governance Regulations issued by CMA, would subject the Company to regulatory
penalties and would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations
and future prospects.

11
2.1.29  Risks related to newly formed board committees
On 10/01/1440H (corresponding to 20/09/2018G), the Board of Directors formed the Audit Committee and the
Nomination and Remuneration Committee to carry out the tasks required of each of them as approved by the Ordinary
General Assembly held on 10/01/1440H (corresponding to 20/09/2018G) and Corporate Governance Regulations issued
by CMA (for more details, please refer to Section 12 (“Legal Information”) of this Prospectus).

Any failure by members of these committees to perform their duties and adopt a work approach that ensures protection
of the interest of the Company and its Shareholders may affect compliance with corporate governance regulations,
the continuous disclosure requirements issued by CMA, and the Board of Directors’ ability to effectively monitor the
Company business through these committees, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business,
financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects.

2.1.30  Lack of experience in managing a publicly listed company


Since its incorporation, the Company has been operated as a private company and, accordingly, the Senior Management
has limited or no experience in managing a public joint stock company and complying with the laws and regulations
pertaining to such companies in the Kingdom. In particular, senior executives will have to receive internal or external
training in the Company’s management in addition to the Company’s compliance with the relevant laws, regulations,
and disclosure requirements, which may decrease the time they dedicate to the management of the Company. Failure to
comply with laws, regulations, and related disclosure requirements will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
operations, financial position, results of operations, and future prospects.

2.1.31  Risks related to tax, Zakat and potential withholding tax


The Company provided Zakat returns up to 2007G and paid Zakat due within the established time limits. The Company
obtained GAZT certificates for all years until 2007G. The Company submitted the Zakat assessments for 2008G up to
2016G, which are being reviewed and audited by GAZT. GAZT is still in the process of assessing these years and the
results of this assessment cannot yet be determined.

As for 2017G, the Senior Management has assessed the tax payable on the basis of its assessment of the taxes due for
the period from 21/12/2008G to 31/12/2016G. The Company has provisioned these liabilities in its financial statements.
The Company cannot predict whether GAZT will accept its Zakat estimates for the said financial years or any differences
that GAZT may require the Company to pay in the future. If GAZT requires the Company to pay such differences, this
would adversely affect the Company’s profits, results of operations and financial position (please refer to Section ‎11
(“Declarations”) of this Prospectus).

The Company’s transactions with its foreign suppliers are subject to withholding tax. The Company does not guarantee
that it has set aside sufficient reserves in its account to cover the amount to be calculated by GAZT in respect of the
withholding tax. If GAZT actually requires the Company to pay an amount higher than that allocated in the Company’s
accounts, this would adversely affect the Company’s profits, results of operation, and financial position.

2.1.32  Credit risks


Credit related risks are related to the trade accounts receivable arising from the Company’s product sales on deferred
maturity dates. The Company may be exposed to late payments by some customers or contractors. A number of the
Company’s customers or contractors may experience low financial performance and the Company may fail to adequately
analyse the credit risks of such parties. Accordingly, the Company’s inability to collect any of the funds incurred by any
of its customers or contractors will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations,
financial position, and future prospects.

2.1.33  Risks related to guarantees provided to associates companies


The Company has provided several financial guarantees in favour of associate companies for the purpose of enabling
them to participate in tenders or to implement projects with government entities and private companies (See Section 5‎ .7)
“Conflict of Interest” of this Prospectus for further information regarding guarantees provided to associates and related
companies). Recipients of such guarantees may enforce against such guarantees if one of the beneficiary associate
companies breaches its obligations with respect to the relevant projects which will have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations.

12
2.2   Risks related to the market and regulatory environment
2.2.1  Risks related to changes in the regulatory environment
The Company’s business is subject to numerous regulations and laws, including Competition Law, VAT Law, Companies
Regulations, Customs Laws, Labor Law, and Government Tender and Procurement Law and other regulations. The
Company’s business depends on the ability of the Company to comply with the requirements of these laws when it comes
to management of its operations and throughout project execution.

In addition, the Company cannot foresee changes in the regulatory environment, and the Company’s regulatory
environment may be subject to numerous changes, due to changes to the tax law and the adoption of tougher antitrust,
pricing, and corporate governance regulations, amongst others. Failure of the Company to comply with all the
requirements and provisions of the laws applicable to the Company, or to which it is subject, may cause the Company
to incur fines or penalties, which will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, and
results of operations.

Changes in the regulatory environment may affect the Company’s operations by restricting the development of the
Company, its customers, operations, sales, or services, or increasing the level of competition. The Company may also
modify its business practices to comply with these regulations and, accordingly, incur additional costs and fees. The
Company does not guarantee that such future regulatory changes will not materially and adversely affect its business,
financial position, and results of operations.

2.2.2  Risks related to competition


The Company operates in a competitive environment characterised by strong competition. There is no guarantee that
the Company will continue to effectively compete with other companies in the market. The market is rapidly changing
in terms of technology, user requirements, and industry standards, development and modernization of products newly
introduced to the market, and the Company expects to face competition with regards to products or higher prices. Strong
competition for products and prices can result in increased costs and expenses, including advertising, marketing, future
sales, research and development costs, product discounts, and product replacement, marketing support, and ongoing
product-related service fees. In addition, current competitors may establish partnerships with each other or with third
parties that will improve and develop their resources. As a result of these acquisitions, current key competitors of the
Company may need to develop new technologies and user or customer requirements, allocate greater resources to sell
or offer their solutions, initiate or stop price competition, take advantage of other available opportunities more quickly,
or develop and expand their offerings more quickly and widely than the Company. Competitors may redouble their
products and services, which will reduce the Company’s current market share. Thus, each of the above factors will have
a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations.

2.2.3  Risks related to the Competition Law


In the event that the Company becomes a dominant player in the market or is considered to be in a dominant position in
the market by the General Authority for Competition, the Company’s business will be subject to the terms and controls
set forth in the Competition Law, which seeks to protect fair competition in the Saudi markets and encourage and
promote the market rules and free and transparent prices. Should the Company violate the provisions of the Competition
Law and receives a judgment in respect thereof; it might be subject to a fine not exceeding ten million Saudi Riyals.
In addition, the General Authority for Competition may request temporary or permanent suspension of the Company’s
activities, in part or in whole, in the event of repeated violation by the Company. Moreover, the litigation process may
be time consuming and expensive for the Company, which will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s income
and financial position.

2.2.4  Risks related to the Company’s application of International Accounting


Standards
The Company’s financial statements for the years ended 31 December 2015G, 31 December 2016G and 31 December
2017G have been prepared in accordance with SOCPA standards. As at 1 January 2018G, the Company has applied
International Accounting Standards (IFRS). The adoption of the new accounting standards (IFRS) has led to an update
of the revenue recognition policy whereby, in accordance with the new standards, the Company recognizes revenues
on customer’s receipt and depreciation of services rendered over a period of time, i.e., the number of days of service
delivery. For more details, please refer to the Company’s financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June
2018G (Significant Accounting Policies). The Company’s development and adoption of additional provisions may have
a material adverse effect on its net profit and total assets.

13
2.2.5  Risks related to non-compliance with Saudization requirements
The Company currently meets the Saudization requirements. The Company IT branches are classified under the High
Green category, while its maintenance and operation branches are classified under the Medium Green category, but it
may prove difficult for the Company to continue employing and maintaining the same percentage of Saudi employees
and, consequently, it may fail to comply with the requirements of the Nitaqat program. There is no guarantee that
the Company will meet, raise, or maintain the required Saudization percentage. In addition, the increase in number
of foreign employees or the inability of the Company to fulfil the Saudization requirements may lead to a number of
penalties or significant fines, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position,
results of operations, and future prospects (for more details, please refer to Section (5) “Organizational Structure and
Governance of the Company”).

2.2.6  Risks related to the Kingdom and the global economy


The Company’s performance depends heavily on the economic situation in the Kingdom. Despite the Kingdom’s
diversification policies, the oil sector contributes significantly to Saudi GDP. Accordingly, fluctuations in oil prices,
specifically the substantial and significant fall in prices, may directly affect economic activity in the Kingdom. For
example, the government may reduce costs and expenses, including provision of IT services, which may lead to reverse
gradation or cancellation of current and future contracts. Government and semi-government customers account for 68%
in the first half of 2018G. This may significantly affect companies operating in the Kingdom, including the Company.

In addition, in the event of one or more changes in macroeconomic factors or indicators in the Kingdom, including
economic growth, exchange rates, interest rates, inflation, wage levels, foreign investment, and world trade, they will
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations.

2.2.7  Risks of non-compliance with the new Companies Law


The Council of Ministers recently issued a new Companies Law that replaced the previous law and which tock effect
from 25/07/1437H (corresponding to 02/05/2016G). The current law may impose some new regulatory requirements that
must be met by the Company. This will require the Company to take the necessary actions to meet such requirements,
including management of transactions with conflicting interests, which may have an impact on the Company’s action
plan or be time consuming. The current law imposes even stricter penalties for violations of its applicable provisions
and rules. Accordingly, the Company may be subject to such penalties in case of failure to comply with the provisions
and rules, with fines of up to five hundred thousand Saudi Riyals (SAR 500,000). This, in turn, would adversely and
materially affect the Company’s business, its financial position, results of operations, and future prospects.

2.2.8  Risks related to increased expenses


The Company’s performance depends on its ability to maintain profitability by setting and providing reasonable prices
for its products and services and its capacity to sustain any higher costs of production or services provided to its customers
by increasing the prices of those products or services.

The Company cannot fully control the prices of its products or services, since these prices depend on the availability and
demand in the market. Consequently, if costs of operation, production or services provided increase, with the Company
being unable to raise the prices of its products and services to offset these costs, the Company’s profitability will be
significantly affected, which will have a material impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial
position, and future prospects.

2.2.9  Risks related to foreign exchange rates


Some of the Company’s transactions are denominated in currencies other than the Saudi Riyal, particularly the US
dollar. As part of the Kingdom’s policy, the Saudi Riyal, as of the date of this Prospectus, is pegged to the US dollar at
an exchange rate of 3.75 Saudi Riyals per US dollar. However, there is no guarantee that the exchange rate of the Saudi
Riyal against the US dollar will be stable. These fluctuations in the value of the Saudi Riyal against foreign currencies
(including the US dollar) used by the Company may result in increased expenses, which will have a material adverse
effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future prospects.

In addition, higher commission rates, whether fixed or variable, applied between banks (known in the Kingdom as the
SIBOR), or increase in the London Interbank Offered Rate (known as LIBOR) paid by the Company to its financers may
result in an increase in the costs of financing needed by the Company to finance its expansions, which will adversely
affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future prospects.

14
2.2.10  Risks related to adverse changes in interest rates
In expanding the Company, increasing its production lines, and developing new products, the Company relies on obtaining
financing and facilities from external financing entities such as commercial banks, government lending institutions, and
others. Accordingly, the Company’s external financing arrangements are significantly affected by interest rates, which
are highly sensitive to a number of factors beyond the Company’s control, including governmental, monetary, tax and
financial policies, and local and global economic and political conditions. An increase in interest rates for financing and
cost of interest may result in a decline in the Company’s cash flows. Therefore, negative fluctuations in interest rates may
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future prospects.

2.2.11  Risks related to the adoption of VAT and its impact on the Company
The Council of Ministers decided on 2 Jumada Al-Awwal 1438H to approve the Unified GCC Value Added Tax
Agreement, which came into effect on 1/1/2018G as a new tax to be added to the system of taxes as well as other duties
to be applied by specific sectors in the Kingdom, including the ICT sector where the Company operates. The tax rate
borne by the consumer amounts to 5%. If the VAT rate increases in the future, the Company may not be able to raise the
prices of its products to offset the full value of the tax due to several factors and considerations, including the nature of
the contractual relationship with some customers or competitive factors prevailing the market, which will, in turn, have
an adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future prospects.

2.2.12  Risks related to natural disasters


Natural disasters which are beyond the control of the Company, such as floods, earthquakes, storms, etc., may damage
the Company’s facilities and employees in case they occur. This will result in heavy costs to the Company and may affect
the Company’s ability to continue its operations and thus reduce its income from such operations. The occurrence of
such disasters and damage to Company’s facilities will have a negative and material impact on the Company’s business,
results of operations, financial position, and future prospects.

2.2.13  Political and security risk in the region and associated impact on company’s
operations
The Company’s prospective subscribers should take into consideration the geopolitical risk in the Middle East, which
will have a negative and material impact on the Kingdom’s economy, the Company’s customers and / or the Company
and its operations. These risks may adversely affect the value of the Company’s investments and will therefore have a
negative impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, and future prospects.

2.3   Risks related to the Offer Shares


2.3.1  Effective control by Selling Shareholders
After the completion of the Offering, the Selling Shareholders will hold 11,200,000 Shares, representing 70% of the
Company’s Share Capital. Together, they will be able to influence the Company’s decisions, since they will have a
majority stake in the Company’s General Assembly meetings and will be able to control matters requiring shareholder
approval, including mergers and acquisitions, sale of assets, election of the board members, increase or decrease of
capital, issuance or non-issuance of additional shares and dividends, or any other change in the Company. It should be
noted that the interest of the Selling Shareholders may differ from the new shareholders. Therefore, if the interests of
the Selling Shareholders conflict with those of the minority shareholders, this will have a material adverse effect on
the interests of the other subscribers and their investment plans in the Company. The Selling Shareholders may impose
their control over the Company in a manner that adversely affects the Company’s business, financial performance, and
profitability.

2.3.2  Absence of prior market for the Company’s Shares


Currently there is no market for trading in the Company’s shares, and there is no guarantee or confirmation that an active
and liquid market for stock trading will exist and continue. The absence of an active market with high liquidity will have
a negative impact on the price of the Company’s shares trading.

2.3.3  Risk of potential fluctuations in share price


There can be no assurance that the Offer price will be equal to the Share Price after the Offering. In addition, the
Subscribers may not be able to sell their shares at the price of the offering or at a higher price. The Company’s Share
Price may be highly volatile and may not be stable due to several factors including, but not limited to, the stock market
conditions, any regulatory changes in the sector, decline in the Company’s results of operations, inability to execute
future plans, entry of new competitors and speculations on the Company’s operations and others.

15
2.3.4  Risk of dividend distribution
Any decision to distribute dividends in cash to the Shareholders of the Company shall be at the discretion of the Board of
Directors and upon its recommendation, after taking into consideration various factors that include the financial position
of the Company, its results of operations, growth and expansion opportunities, and the need for internal financing.
Some of the financing agreements entered into by the Company include restrictions on certain dividend ratios of net
income (for further information about such restrictions, please refer to Section ‎12.8) “Finance Agreements”). There is
no assurance about the Company’s ability to distribute dividends in the future. If no dividends are distributed to the
Shareholders, they may receive no return on the investment in the Shares of the Company except by selling their shares
at a price higher than the purchase price. If the Company is unable to regularly distribute dividends, this will not help to
increase the Share Price, and may even lead to a decline in the Share Price after listing.

2.3.5  Risks related to selling a large number of shares in the market


The Company’s existing Substantial Shareholders who own 5% or more of the Company’s shares will be subject to a
Lock-up Period, which starts from the first day of trading of the Company’s shares in the market. They will not be able
to dispose of any of their shares. However, after the expiration of the six month Lock-up Period, there is no guarantee
that the Substantial Shareholders, whose aggregate shareholding is 46.3% after the Offering, will not sell a big portion
of their shares. If a large number of shares are sold on the market after the end of the Lock-up Period, the Share Price of
the Company will be adversely affected.

2.3.6  Risks related to issuance of additional shares in the market following


expiry of Lock-up Period
The issue of new shares in the future, should the Company decide to do so, will have a negative impact on the Share Price
or will result in a decrease of the ownership of the shareholders who will not subscribe to the new shares upon issue.

3.1   Overview of the Kingdom’s economy


GDP in current prices decreased at a CAGR of 2.1% from SAR 2,791 billion in 2013G o approximately SAR 2,564
billion in 2017G. This decrease is mainly due to a sharp decline in oil prices with the average price per barrel of Arabian
Light Crude Oil falling at a CAGR at 15.9% from USD 107 in 2013G to USD 53 in 2017G. With respect to fixed prices
(base year = 2010G), GDP saw slower growth in 2016G with a growth rate of 2.6% in 2016G compared to 3.5% in
2015G. In 2017G, GDP in fixed prices saw a decline of 0.8% compared to 2016G.

Public revenue decreased at CAGR of 11.9% from SAR 1,156 billion in 2013G to SAR 696 billion in 2017G. The
decline was mainly due to the decline in oil prices, with oil revenues accounting for 90% of total public revenues in
2013G compared to 63% in 2017G. Therefore, the Kingdom has witnessed a government budget deficit that ranges from
2.3% to 15.0% of the GDP due to the decline in oil prices over the past four years. The Ministry of Finance adopted a
policy to strike balance between the debt issue and withdrawal from government deposits and the state’s public reserve
to fund the budget deficit. The total debt reached SAR 438 billion by the end of 2017G, which accounts for 17.0% of
the GDP compared to 2.2% in 2013G.

3.1.1 Technology overview
The Kingdom prides itself on providing high-speed internet access and high distribution rates of mobile and smart
phones. Emerging technologies such as cloud computing, analytics, and mobile computing are increasingly used by
companies. It is worth mentioning that government initiatives such as Neom, the smart city of Yanbu, e-governance
programs, and other digital transformation programs in all areas are the main driver of increased technology spending.

Economic diversification is the government’s major priority, providing many opportunities for technology providers to
support the National Digital Transformation Initiatives of the National Transition Program under Saudi Vision 2030.
While Saudi Vision 2030 provides plans to create a viable community, a thriving economy, and an ambitious nation,
technology is a key potential and a driving force for the many target changes. The aim is to develop the country’s digital
infrastructure and stimulate major economic sectors and industries, as well as the private sector companies.

By 2021G, IT spending in Saudi Arabia is expected to reach SAR 48 billion, an increase of CAGR of 4.6% compared to
2017G in which spending was SAR 40,1 billion. IT services accounted for 33% of the total spending, while the hardware
market accounted for 56% and software markets accounted for 10%.

Major sectors such as banks, financial services, insurance, oil and gas, health care, telecommunications, and government
agencies has emphasized the importance of technology investment in their strategic plans recently and considered ICT as
a priority. These sectors also demonstrate a tendency to adopt a transformational technology such as big data, analytics,
and mobile computing in companies and cloud services.

Digitization will play a pivotal role in light of Saudi Arabia’s pursuit of transformational goals in the small- and medium-
sized enterprises (SME) segment. Therefore, ICT providers will need to provide a robust and distinctive set of services
to meet the needs of SMEs in light of the increased use of ICT solutions and services.

All of this indicates the rapid adoption of IT by Saudi Arabia, especially in the field of professional services. In addition
to evaluation, solution, and support services, some of the other emerging IT services include IT consulting, hosting and
data centre services, managed services, and cloud services. With strong IT usage plans in all fields, the Kingdom’s IT
market is booming and the IT sector in the Kingdom is expected to continue to grow.

3.2 Overview of IT industry


3.2.1 Size and growth of IT market
IT spending in Saudi Arabia is expected to increase in 2018G, as government, banking, finance, telecommunication,
and oil and gas services continue to inject significant investments into technology. Initiatives of SME, citizen services,
e-commerce security, and smart cities are expected to maintain the growth of the IT industry. The decline in revenues
from traditional streams, such as voice and data-based services, has encouraged telecommunication companies to seek
new revenue streams, such as hosting, cloud, and managed services.

3.2.4  Key market trends

Government incentives
The Saudi government has been emphasizing the importance of technology investments in its strategic plans in
recent years and has made investment in the ICT sector a top priority. As IT strategies are aligned with the National
Transformation Program, the implementation of IT-related projects will accelerate and boost IT spending, stimulate the
modernization of infrastructure initiatives, and encourage the deployment of E-services. This alignment will not only
accelerate growth but also provide service providers with a tool they desperately need in future work, enabling them to
allocate and effectively utilize resources for future activities.

Increased adoption of managed services


Although most institutions in Saudi Arabia generally rely on internal service management (i.e., insourcing), they
gradually adopt managed services and increasingly use third-party services to manage the IT system.

Adoption of cloud services


Growing demand on cloud services as a cost-effective alternative stimulates the transformation from traditional IT
systems to alternative ones. This trend has come to be accepted by institutions facing budget problems due to lower
oil prices and economic slowdown. International companies, such as Alphabet Inc. and EWS, have already entered
the region, although they have not yet entered the local market. Sometimes, international giants enter the local market
through various partnerships.

Infrastructure investments
Collective infrastructure investments aiming to support the deployment of public and private cloud services will also be
a strong driver of growth in the IT sector. E-government initiatives will also drive demand on data centre consolidation
and business continuity. SAP has recently launched a data centre in the Kingdom, while Google and Saudi Aramco are
building a data centre, and Oracle, which is in the process of increasing its number of data centres worldwide, has plans
to include the Kingdom as one of its 12 new data centres.

Smart city initiatives


Smart city projects are expected to gain momentum across major cities in the Kingdom. Some smart city initiatives
include security, surveillance, smart networks, and smart traffic solutions. Smart city projects are witnessing growth
within the GCC countries. However, the Kingdom is well placed to lead the implementation of such smart cities, thanks
to its strong infrastructure for high-speed fixed communications. Smart city initiatives will give local secretariats high
priority in terms of public infrastructure development. Smart, citizen-friendly solutions are expected to become a key
area of investment for those entities. Yanbu’s recent successful implementation of a set of smart initiatives has set a
benchmark for other secretariats around the Kingdom. The Holy Makkah Municipality, already in the lead with the Smart
Crowd Management solution, will deploy a set of initiatives for waste management, parking, and intelligent mobility.

Support for SMEs and entrepreneurship


SMEs and entrepreneurship are key factors, ensuring economic growth, innovation, and job creation. According to
GOSI, small and medium-sized enterprises in the Kingdom represent about 99% of all registered companies. They
account for a huge segment, for which no adequate services are provided. The government is taking strong steps to revive
the market and demonstrates the enormous potential for technology spending.

Implementation of Vision 2030


Saudi Vision 2030 is a long-term economic model that aims to reduce Saudi dependency on oil. The National
Transformation Program is one of the 13 VRPs. A rearrangement of priorities related to the objectives of the National
Transformation Program would place the digital transformation at the forefront within the Saudi public sector, as
initiatives will shift from the strategy phase to implementation.

3.3   The Company’s opportunities in the ICT Market


Data centres are a revolution in telecommunications and have become a vital element of many companies, as the
Internet has become an absolutely indispensable instrument. Cash flow is just as important as permanent Internet access.
Information technology companies are under pressure from the business environment to upgrade their infrastructure
in order to reduce costs, increase flexibility, innovate, and operate more efficiently. To maintain their competitiveness,
many companies have started to enhance and develop data centres.

Digital Transformation: With Saudi Vision 2030 outlining Saudi Arabia’s broad economic and social objectives, the
National Transformation Program provides a detailed map and key deliverables to achieve such objectives. Digitization
plays a key role in realizing key deliverables of the National Transformation Program. The program identifies several
digital transformation forms that support its initiatives, including five digital platforms and 29 important digital
initiatives in key sectors, as well as many national digital assets that can be developed to support the government’s
digital transformation.

IT Services: With the development of Saudi Arabia and its application of modern technology to improve existing
infrastructure, demand on specialized services such as systems integration, IT advice, managed services, outsourcing
services, distribution and support services, private cloud services, and implementation services has witnessed strong
growth. IT services have accounted for more than half of ICT expenditures and are growing faster than hardware and
software expenditures.

Managed services: With increased cost pressures, complex IT infrastructure management, lack of skills, and higher
operational costs of infrastructure management, a number of companies are increasingly stepping away from the
“internal implementation” model to the “doing business via third party” model. The Kingdom’s managed services
market has witnessed positive growth and will continue to grow in the foreseeable future. Managed services dominated
the outsourcing market as it accounted for most of the outsourcing costs in 2016G. The traditional IT outsourcing market
accounted for only 16.0%, due to depressed demand for outsourcing transactions with broad scope, multi-year terms,
and integrated services. As a result, managed services as a typical IT outsourcing model are expected to grow twice as
fast as traditional IT outsourcing.

Solutions: The number of enterprises willing to work with service providers, offering complementary solutions
rather than individual products, is increasing. Most individual IT solutions target a specific IT problem solution, with
complementary solutions aiming to solve business problems as a whole, thus opening up future prospects for service
providers with complementary solution delivery capabilities. In addition, the government emphasizes digitization of
citizen services.

Security: IT and real-time security markets (CCTV surveillance cameras, biometric analysis, etc.) have gained
momentum and developed over the past few years. Given the increased complexity and accuracy of threats, the field
of information security management is in a constant need for investment by enterprises. IT providers would firmly
establish their reputation in the market if they provided advanced security solutions as well as security management for
their customers.

Internet of Things (IoT): Total IoT expenses in Saudi Arabia will reach SAR 4,9 billion by the end of 2018G, with
growing uses in both public and private sectors. IoT has become an emerging area not only in Saudi Arabia but in the
Middle East as a whole. In the current period, enterprises are divided between enterprises using IoT / M2M solutions,
and others in the process of using them. However, demand for IoT / M2M applications in security, data collection, and
fleet management solutions will increase rapidly in light of the Kingdom’s focus on smart buildings and cities.

E-commerce: Saudi Arabia’s young demographics, increased prevalence of broadband and smartphones, and the
government’s growing focus on e-commerce are key factors driving the shift to online purchasing in Saudi Arabia.
Moreover, the traditional businesses of fast-moving consumer goods companies and banks are increasingly seeing
e-commerce as a fast-growing complementary channel to sell their products and services.

Smart cities: In 2018G, most smart city initiatives will launch a strategy based on the results of IoT platforms in smart
cities to connect devices, collect and manage data from different cities and technology suppliers, quickly deploy new
solutions, and create a unified vision for a smart city. Smart building use status technology is expected to grow at a
CAGR of 32.7% to reach SAR 344,8 million by 2021G. In the coming years, there will be an increase in cooperation

between municipalities and international smart solution providers to support the technological component of smart
initiatives.

SMEs: SMEs account for 99% of all companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. SMEs have a big advantage over
large companies, with low bureaucracy compared to large companies, complex information management programs,
complex content, and rigidities apparent in typical operating procedures in this field. Thus, SMEs can be more flexible
and efficient, especially in use of cloud services, mobile computing, and IoT, which reduces property costs and creates
many forms of savings when investing in infrastructure. In addition, SMEs have already begun to implement economical
and flexible operational models in all sectors in Saudi Arabia to reduce inconsistencies and shortcomings in the hope of
reducing operating expenses. International data company studies indicate that the SME sector in Saudi Arabia recognizes
the benefits of digital transformation, not only because of the goals set by the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and the Digital
Transformation Program, but also because the use of ICT and digital transformation is a key enabling tool for business
continuity in the future. Although SMEs adopt a policy through which ICT spending is severely curtailed, their large
numbers provide a great opportunity the focus of attention.

Block-chain: In the midst of the transformation across Saudi Arabia, Block-chain technology and its applications will
raise interest in financial services and communications. Block-chain is currently being tested to demonstrate the extent
to which it can be used with Shariah compliant products and cross-border wire transfers. Recent successful experience of
Al Rajhi Bank in Ripple’s Block-chain technology has scaled up ambitions of banking, financial service, and insurance
sectors. Al Rajhi Bank is a leader inspiring other financial institutions in Saudi Arabia with regard to the use of Block-
chain technology. SAMA is at the forefront of institutions using latest technologies in the banking sector. SAMA has
launched several regulatory or supervisory programs that will enable the sector to upgrade its digital services and enhance
operating models. In addition, SAMA has signed an agreement with Ripple to help banks in Saudi Arabia improve the
payment infrastructure using XCurrent. SAMA’s support to banks in Saudi Arabia using Block-chain technology would
radically transform the methods adopted by the Kingdom’s banks to carry out financing transactions worldwide. Thus,
bank customers will receive faster, cheaper, more transparent and efficient payment services. 

Cloud services: Cloud service markets will become more crowded as Saudi progressive institutions will target the
“cloud service approach first.” Budgetary constraints and the need to create a flexible infrastructure will push enterprises
to invest more in general and hybrid cloud services. Growth was driven primarily by increased use of general cloud
services, including enterprise resource planning, CRM, and collaborative applications. As STC is focused on SMEs’
development target in light of Saudi Vision 2030, STC, in cooperation with the Small and Medium Enterprises General
Authority, launched the Bluvalt Cloud, a Saudi cloud store aimed at upgrading the ecosystem of enterprises SMEs in
Saudi Arabia. Bluvalt Cloud provides affordable and cost-effective solutions that better serve SMEs’ business, opening
the door to strong competition in the field of cloud services available to SMEs. Apple and Amazon are in discussions
with Riyadh to obtain a license to invest in Saudi Arabia. Competition will be fierce soon, so local service providers must
equip and introduce a variety of strategies to enhance their resilience in a market where prices are the main driver. Price
wars, product abundance, and service level agreements are key factors for medium-term success.

Cognitive Computing and Artificial Intelligence: Saudi Arabia’s interest in digital economy increases demand for
factors that accelerate innovation such as artificial intelligence, cognitive technology and robotics. Cognitive computing
and machine learning are used to raise efficiency in advanced industries Augmented Reality will be tested in all
manufacturing areas to minimize waste and costs. The year 2018G will witness the management of pilgrims’ delegations
through an Augmented Reality application on the mobile phone supported by a Google artificial intelligence platform.

Big data and analyses: In spite of poor use of big data technology, relevant spending in Saudi Arabia is expected
to reach SAR 2,1 million in 2018G. The momentum about use of big data is in the process of moving from pilot to
implementation. Key use cases include risk management, behavioural shopping, business management, and job creation.
Demand for business intelligence solutions is growing in business areas. With the increasing number of sensor-equipped
devices that are shifting to IoT / M2M solutions, the use of big data technology is critical in data analysis aimed at
decision-making support. Government, finance, communications, resource-consuming industries, and manufacturing
industries have accounted for 75% of bid data expenditure.

4.7.7  Qualified and experienced staff


The Company has an internal regulatory culture that promotes business ethics. The Company believes that human capital
is the most important asset. Over the years, it has benefited from the experience of many of its highly skilled employees.
Thanks to the continuous efforts and expertise of its employees, the Company has been able to create a sustainable

and services. The Company has maintained good relations with its employees, and there are no threatening or imminent
disputes (for more information, please refer to Section 4.11 (“Staff”) of this Prospectus).

4.7.8  Local knowledge


One of the most important factors that contributed to the Company’s growth is its deep knowledge and understanding of
its client’s business culture and working environment, whether in the public or private sector. This detailed knowledge
and deep understanding enables the Company to deliver bespoke solutions to its customers, often by highly qualified and
informed employees working directly with its customers. The suppliers also value the Company’s deep local knowledge
and understanding, allowing such suppliers to access to the Saudi market through the Company rather than establishing

benefit of this model, the Company does not take responsibility for customers’ selection of software or configuration
options. The Company is also not exposed to risks due to defects, obsolescence, or failure of the product as it is not

supplier and customers (for more information, please refer to Section 12 (“Legal Information”) of this Prospectus for
further information regarding the in terms of contractual relations between the Company and suppliers on the one hand
and suppliers and customers on the other.

—— Lack of readily available qualified staff across the ICT value chain

longstanding relationships with leading vendors across its Business Units (for more information, please refer to Section
(‎4.6.3 (E)) “Further strengthening supplier partnerships” of this Prospectus).

The Company is able to obtain competitive pricing from its key suppliers due to its privileged status, which was achieved
by satisfying qualitative and quantitative criteria. The privileged status is subject to periodic evaluation, typically carried
out every year. Supplier partnerships are non-exclusive, which affords the Company greater flexibility to offer products
and solutions tailored to the customer’s specifications, and at times, this may require the Company to procure products
and services from its non-strategic suppliers.

During the years 2015G, 2016G, and 2017G and the six months ended 30/06/2018G, the total cost of sales from the
Company’s key five suppliers was 60.7% (SAR 1,353.7 million) of its total sales costs. The table below provides key
information on the Company’s top five suppliers.

The Company has a 50% direct interest in three associates located in Lebanon, British Virgin Islands (BVI), and Saudi
Arabia. All three associates operate in the ICT sector. The Company’s investments in the associates are accounted for

(through its 50% shareholding), but which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. The Company’s investment in the
three associates is not essential to its business; in the first half of 2018G, the Company’s total share of income in the three
associates was SAR 0.2 million, against a total net income of SAR 13.5 million for the same period. The table below

The Nitaqat Program has been adopted under the Minister of Labor’s Resolution No. 4040 dated 12/10/1432H
(corresponding to 10/09/2011G) based on the Council of Ministers’ Resolution No. 50 dated 21/05/1415H (corresponding
to 27/10/1994G) which came into force as of 12/10/1432H (corresponding to 10/09/2011G). The Ministry of Labor
initiated the Nitaqat Program for the provision of incentives to institutions so that they employ Saudi citizens. This
Program evaluates the performance of any institution based on certain categories, i.e. platinum, green (classified into
three subcategories: low green, medium green, and high green), yellow, and red. Enterprises classified within the
Platinum and Green categories are deemed in compliance with Saudization requirements and receive some specific
benefits, e.g. enabling them to obtain or renew work visas for foreign employees or to change the profession of foreign
employees. With respect to enterprises categorized as Yellow or Red (based on the non-compliance of such enterprises),
these are deemed noncompliant with the Saudization requirements and are subject to penalty actions, such as limiting
their ability to renew work visas for foreign employees or disenabling them to obtain work visas for foreign employees
or renewal thereof.

For the Company’s categorization under Nitaqat, please see Table (4.18) above (“Details of employment at the Company

6.2   Company Overview


Al Moammar Information Systems Company (“MIS” or the “Company”) was registered as a closed joint stock company
under Commercial Registration No. 1010063470 issued in Riyadh on 10 Muharram 1407H (corresponding to 15
September 1986). The Company is registered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with the following branches:

Registration No. Date Location


4030097824 8 Rabi Awal 1414H Jeddah

1010432047 12 Jumad Thani 1436H Riyadh

2051011413 17 Rabi Awal 1407H Khobar

4030288661 4 Rajab 1437H Jeddah

1010063470 10 Muharram 1407H Riyadh

The Company is engaged in wholesale, retail sale, installation, operation, and maintenance of computers, electronic systems,
wireless systems, electric and electronic works, and installation, operation and maintenance of telecommunications
technology.

6.3   Principal factors affecting the Company’s operations


The following is a discussion of the most significant factors that have affected, or are expected to affect, the Company’s
financial position and results of operations. These factors are based on the information currently available to the Company
and may not represent all of the factors that may have an impact on the Company’s business.

6.3.1  Economic factors and business from government customers


Oil income is expected to play a significant role in the development of the Kingdom’s economic plans despite the
continuous application of the diversification policy to support the contributions of sectors other than oil to GDP.
Therefore, any decrease in oil and gas prices may result in downturns of the Government’s spending plans, which may
impact the Company’s business.

Revenues generated from government customers represented 46.8%, 33.0% and 49.2% of the Company’s revenues for
the years ended 31 December 2015G, 2016G, and 2017G, respectively, and represented 44.1% and 59.3% for the periods
ended 30 June 2017G and 2018G respectively. As such, the revenues generated by the Company are largely linked to
public spending by the government. Therefore, the fiscal policy of the Saudi Government and appropriation of funds for
IT and technology-related spending both carry a direct impact on the revenue generated by the Company and its year-
on-year growth.

6.3.2  Relationship with key strategic vendors


The Company sees its key vendors and their integrated IT solutions from various international IT vendors as a primary
requisite to win projects in the Kingdom. The key vendors and their brands derive value from their global network, secure
and customized solutions, and compatibility with third-party sources. Therefore, the Company’s success predominantly
depends on its ability to maintain and enhance its relationship with these key vendors.

The Company’s long-term relationship and ability to negotiate prices with these vendors have historically been the
important factors in winning business and earning healthy margins on local projects. The Company has the highest
trade credit with most of its suppliers (for more details, please refer to Table 4.15 regarding the Company’s business
credits), which also enhances the Company’s ability to obtain greater discounts from suppliers. Flexible payment terms
with these vendors also played an important role in managing the cash flow position of the Company due to extended
collection time of balance receivable from government customers. The Company also has a good credit record, which
gives suppliers the freedom to do repeat business with the Company.

67
6.3.3  E-Service Business Unit with higher margins
The Business Services Management Unit is engaged in providing, implementing, and supporting IT solutions in the
Kingdom through customized software tools and applications. This Business Unit provides smarter applications, faster
processes, and more robust controls for IT centers and operations.

Historically, the revenue from this Business Unit has been important for the Company’s profitability growth, as this is
typically associated with lower marginal costs and higher profit margins. Gross profit from these services represented
21.0%, 33.3%, 41.9% and 25.3% of the Company’s total profits for the years ended 2016G, 2016G, 2017G and the six-
month period ended 30 June 2018G, respectively. Gross profit margin for this Unit was 30.6%, 35.1%, 43.0% and 25.4%
for the years ended 2016G, 2016G, 2017G and the six-month period ended 30 June 2018G, respectively, exceeding the
other Business Units.

6.3.4  Timely finalization of government projects


Timely completion of government projects and acknowledgment of final handover by various stakeholders in these
projects is a key factor in issuance and settlement of bills. Delay in finalization of these projects may disrupt the billing
cycle after the project commencement and therefore, may have direct impact on cash flows of the business. Moreover,
delay in acknowledgment of bills issued and settled by the Company could result in long outstanding receivables.

The Company has been actively involved in operational reviews to assess the opportunities for improvement in timely
project completion and related collections. Moreover, the Company’s long-term business relationship with its entire
major private and government sector customers and wealth of experience in project management have been key factors
in reducing delays in collections and disrupting billing cycles.

6.3.5  Competition
The Company’s business is competitive in the local market due to its partnership with key vendors. Projects with
government customers are also highly competitive as it involves various bidders. The primary competitive factors are
pricing, partnership with required vendors, experienced project management team, and support services. The Company’s
competitive edge lies in an experienced project management team with in-depth knowledge of the ICT services and
experienced sales management team who hold years of origination and project bidding experience.

6.4   Significant accounting policies


According to the transition plan to the International Accounting Standards approved by the Board of SOCPA, effective
1 January 2018G, the Company’s financial statements will be prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS). Upon the adoption of IFRS, the Company will be required to comply with the requirements
of IFRS 1 - First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, which require the Company to analyze
impacts and incorporate certain adjustments on the comparative figures and its opening balances.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia. The significant accounting policies adopted are as follows:

6.4.1  Accounting conventions


The financial statements are prepared under historical cost conventions except for the measurement of fair value of
investments in securities held for trading.

6.4.2  Use of estimate


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Although these estimates and judgments are based on management’s best knowledge of current events
and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.

6.4.3  Cash and cash equivalents


For the purposes of the statement of cash flow, cash and cash equivalents consists of bank balances, and investments
that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and have a maturity of three months or less when purchased.

68
6.4.4  Short term bank deposits
Short term bank deposits are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and have a maturity of more than three
months but less than one year when purchased.

6.4.5  Accounts receivable


Accounts receivable are stated in the original invoice amount minus the allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An
allowance for impairment is made when collection of the amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as
incurred.

6.4.6  Unbilled receivables


Unbilled receivables comprise the value of work executed by the Company during the year but not billed as of year-end.
These amounts will be billed in the subsequent period.

6.4.7  Investments in associates


The Company’s investments in the associated companies are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
An associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence, and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint
venture. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate is carried in the balance sheet at cost adjusted by the
changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate. The statement of income reflects the share of the results of
operation of the associates. Where there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Company
recognizes its share of any change and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of changes in shareholders’
equity. Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associates are eliminated to the
extent of interest in an associate.

6.4.8  Available-for-sale Investments


These investments represent unquoted shares which are bought not with the intention of trading purposes and are stated
at fair value. Changes in fair value are credited or charged to the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. Where
there is an objective evidence that investments may be impaired, the estimated recoverable amount of those investments
is determined and any impairment loss for the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount is
recognized in the statement of income. In assessing impairment, expected future cash flows and other factors are taken
into consideration. Where partial holdings are sold, the related carrying values of such investments are accounted for on
a weighted average basis.

6.4.9  Property and equipment


Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost and are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
impairment in value.

Expenditure for repair and maintenance are charged to the income as incurred. Improvements that increase the value or
materially extend the life of the related assets are capitalized.

Depreciation is charged to the statement of income over the estimated useful life of the applicable asset using straight
line method. The estimated rate of depreciation of the principal classes of assets are as follows:

a- Equipment 20%
b- Motor vehicles 20%
c- Furniture and fixtures 20%

6.4.10  Intangible Assets


Intangible assets are measured on a cost basis at initial recognition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets
with finite useful lives are carried at cost minus any accumulated amortization and impairment losses and is amortized
on a straight-line basis over its useful economic life. Intangible assets include accounting software purchased by the
Company. These are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 5 years.

6.4.11  Accounts payable and accruals


Liabilities are recognized for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to
the Company.

69
6.4.12  Provisions
Provision is recognized when the Company has an obligation (legal or implicit) arising from a past event, and the costs
to settle the obligation are both probable and can be measured reliably.

6.4.13  Loans and borrowings


Loans and borrowings are recognized at the proceeds value received by the Company.

6.4.14  Employees’ terminal benefits


Provision is made for amounts payable under the Saudi Arabian labor law applicable to employees’ accumulated periods
of service at the balance sheet date.

6.4.15  Statutory Reserve


In accordance with the Companies Law and the Company’s Bylaws, the Company must transfer 10% of its annual net
income to the statutory reserve until it reaches 50% of the share capital. Given the fact that this has been achieved, the
Company has decided to discontinue the transfer. This reserve is not available for dividend distribution.

6.4.16  Zakat
Zakat is provided for in accordance with Saudi Arabian fiscal regulations. The provision is charged to the statement of
income.

6.4.17  Revenue recognition


Revenue on contracts, where the outcome can be estimated reliably, is recognized under the percentage-of-completion
method (PoC) by reference to the stage of completion of its contract activity. The stage of completion is measured by
calculating the proportion of work performed to date as a proportion of the total work to be performed. The Company’s
management considers the completion of the physical proportion of the contract work performed as the most appropriate
measure of the PoC in determining and recognizing the profit of a contract for the year. Revenues from the sale of
computer hardware and software licenses are recognized upon delivery. Revenue is determined after deducting returns,
trade allowances, and volume rebates. Revenues from support service contracts are determined on a pro-rata basis over
the period of the contract.

6.4.18  Foreign currencies


Foreign currency translations

Financial statements of foreign operations are translated into Saudi Riyals using the exchange rate at each balance sheet
date, for assets and liabilities, and the average exchange rate for each period for revenues, expenses, gains and losses.
Components of equity, other than retained earnings, are translated at the rate ruling at the date of occurrence of each
component. Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

6.4.19  Expenses
Selling and distribution expenses are those that specifically relate to salesmen and sales department. All other expenses
are allocated on a consistent basis to cost of sales and general and administration expenses in accordance with allocation
basis determined as appropriate by the Company.

6.4.20  Impairment and un-collectability of financial assets


An assessment is made on each balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a specific
financial asset may be impaired. If such evidence exists, any impairment loss is recognized in the statement of income.
Impairment is determined as follows:

a- For assets carried at fair value, impairment is the difference between cost and fair value, minus any impairment
loss previously recognized in the statement of income.
b- For assets carried at cost, impairment is the difference between carrying value and the present value of future
cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for similar financial assets.
c- For assets carried at amortized cost, impairment is the difference between the carrying value and the present
value of future cash flows discounted at the current interest rate in effect.

70
6.4.21  Dividends
Interim dividends are recorded as and when declared and approved by the Board of Directors. Annual final dividends
are recognized as a liability at the time of their approval by the General Assembly, after recommendation by the Board
of Directors.

6.4.22  Segment reporting


A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged either in providing products or services
(a business segment) or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (a geographic
segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. Because the Company
carries out most of its activities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, reporting is provided by business segment only.

Sales are mainly generated by the Company from six business units: Solutions, E-Services, Operation and Maintenance,
Networks, Systems, and Information Security System. In 2017G, the contribution of sales from each business unit
accounted for 38.1% from Solutions, 16.0% from E-Services, 15.5% from Operation and Maintenance, 11.3% from
Networks, 10.0% from Systems, and 9.2% from Information Security system.

Sales declined by 8.8% from SAR 716.8 million in 2015G to SAR 654.0 million in 2016G, primarily due to budgetary
restrictions on government customers. This was primarily driven by reduced spending by government customers in the
wake of economic downturn. The reduction in sales from these government customers was primarily attributable to the
Solutions and Systems units. During 2017G, sales grew by 28.9% from SAR 654.0 million in 2016G to SAR 842.8
million in 2017G. This was mainly due to the growth witnessed across all the Company’s business units driven by new
customers.

Cost of sales decreased by 10.4% in 2016G, from SAR 619.9 million in 2015G to SAR 555.6 million in 2016G, mainly
due to lower cost of sales in the Networks, Systems, and Information Security units, in line with the decline in sales. In
2017G, the cost of sales increased by 26.8%, from SAR 555.6 million in 2016G to SAR 704.5 million in 2017G, mainly
due to the increase in the overall cost of sales driven by new contracts, most of which are related to the Solutions unit.

71
Gross profit increased by 1.6% from SAR 96.9 million in 2015G to SAR 98.5 million in 2016G, mainly due to higher
profit margins generated from a major project of a telecom sector customer related to the Solutions and E-Services units
during this period. During 2017G, gross profit grew by 40.5% from SAR 98.5 million in 2016G to SAR 138.3 million
in 2017G. This resulted primarily from higher profit margins in the Operation and Maintenance and E-Services business
units.

General and administrative expenses did not witness material fluctuation between 2015G and 2016G. During 2017G,
general and administrative expenses increased by 5.1% from SAR 30.5 million in 2016G to SAR 32.0 million in 2017G,
mainly due to an increase in employee costs as a result of the appointment of a new General Manager in 2017G.

Selling and distribution expenses include employees’ cost pertaining to the sales division and marketing costs incurred
by the Company. Selling and distribution expenses did not witness material fluctuation between 2015G and 2017G.

Financial charges include bank commission on loans, bank charges, bank management fees, and others. Financial
charges increased by 59.2% in 2016G, from SAR 9.1 million in 2015G to SAR 14.5 million in 2016G. This primarily
resulted from an increase in interest cost as a result of additional facilities utilized during 2015G, as well as the increase
in SIBOR. In 2017G, financial charges decreased by 15.2% from SAR 14.5 million in 2016G to SAR 12.3 million in
2017G. This primarily resulted from the decline in bank commissions on loans and bank management fees due to lower
average outstanding loan balance during 2017G as compared to 2016G.

Other income primarily includes partial reimbursement due to the Company from HRDF on claims relating to the hiring
and training of Saudi employees and interest income on time deposits held by the Company during the year. The increase
in other income during 2016G was mainly on account of the increase in HRDF claims as a result of increased hiring
of Saudi staff during the same year. During 2017G, the increase in other income was mainly on account of reversal of
write-offs (recovery of receivables), this account was only recorded in 2017G and did not exist in 2015G and 2016G.
In addition, the increase in other income during 2017G was also due to the settlement of rent and other miscellaneous
building repairs and maintenance expenses by Edarat for Communication & IT, which are paid by the Company on
behalf of Edarat CIT.

The Company holds 50% ownership in each of its associates: Edarat Group SAL, Phoenicia Tech Worldwide Inc., and
Edarat for Communication & IT. The results of these associates are accounted for in the Company’s financials under the
equity method. The Company’s share in results of associates’ returns has changed from an income of SAR 0.4 million
in 2015G to a loss of SAR 0.8 million in 2016G. This primarily resulted from the losses recorded by Phoenicia Tech
Worldwide Inc. The Company’s share of losses from associates amounting to SAR 0.5 million in 2017G, resulted from
losses recorded by Phoenicia Tech Worldwide Inc. in addition to losses reported from Edarat CIT.

Zakat increased by 9.0% from SAR 4.9 million in 2015G to SAR 5.3 million in 2016G and further by 21.6% to SAR 6.5
million in 2017G. This primarily resulted from an increase in the Zakat base of the Company from SAR 195.3 million
on 31 December 2015G to SAR 258.9 million on 31 December 2017G.

Zakat base increased by SAR 17.5 million in 2016G compared to 2015G, mainly due to an increase in retained earnings
by SAR 15.3 million, in addition to an increase in deferred tax expenses by SAR 1.5 million and a decrease in net fixed
assets by SAR 7.5 million. The increase in the Zakat base was partially offset by a decrease in the adjusted net income
subject to Zakat by SAR 7.7 million. During 2017G, the Zakat base increased by SAR 46.1 million compared to 2016G.
The increase in the Zakat base is due to an increase in adjusted net income subject to Zakat by SAR 41.0 million, in
addition to an increase in retained earnings by SAR 17.9 million and provision for employees’ end of service benefits by
SAR 1.7 million. The increase in the Zakat base was reduced through the use of the employees’ end of service benefits
amounting to SAR 5.3 million and the increase in net property and equipment by SAR 9.3 million.

Net income declined by 11.8% in 2016G, from SAR 40.9 million in 2015G to SAR 36.1 million in 2016G. This was
primarily due to an increase in financial charges as a result of additional financing facilities utilized in 2015G by the
Company as well as an increase in SIBOR, the full year impact of which was observed in 2016G. During 2017G, net
income grew by 112.9% from SAR 36.1 million in 2016G to SAR 76.8 million in 2017G. This was mainly on account of
an overall increase in the Company’s sales from SAR 654.0 million in 2016G to SAR 842.8 million in 2017G.

Automation Solutions, Utility Solutions, Banking Solutions and Services, Hospital Information Systems, ID and Passport
Issuing Solutions, Asset Management Solutions, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Solutions program used for
physical tagging and tracking of assets, in addition to Microsoft Solutions. Sales from the Solutions unit increased by
178.9% in 2016G from SAR 96.1 million in 2015G to SAR 268.1 million in 2016G, primarily due to the reclassification
of products relating to a major supplier to the Solutions unit from the Hardware and Software Integration (HSWI) unit.
The Solutions unit was previously termed as Geographic Information Systems (GIS). In 2017G, sales of this business
unit increased by 19.8% from SAR 268.1 million in 2016G to SAR 321.1 million in 2017G, mainly due to awarding of
new contracts in the government sector in relation to cloud services.

The E-Services unit provides software in the areas of business service management (BSM), data center monitoring,
and optimization. E-Services delivers, implements, and supports IT & BSM solutions within the Kingdom. In addition,
E-Services also provides custom designed helpdesk related solutions. Sales from this unit increased by 41.0% in

73
2016G from SAR 66.4 million in 2015G to SAR 93.6 million in 2016G, mainly due to implementation of new BMC
technologies and expansion projects for a key customer in semi-government sector in relation to real-time technology
and capital expenditure management solutions based on ITC technologies. In 2017G, E-Services sales increased by
44.1% from SAR 93.6 million in 2016G to SAR 134.9 million in 2017G, mainly due to the signing of a new contract
with a government sector customer amounting to SAR 72.0 million pertaining to BMC support services provided by the
Company.

The Operation and Maintenance unit provides project management support to customers where the application of
knowledge, skills, and techniques to implement IT infrastructure is required. The Company provides skilled employees
and, along with the customer’s IT department, manages, maintains, and upgrades software, hardware, and network
infrastructures. Sales from this unit increased by 34.1% in 2016G from SAR 72.0 million in 2015G to SAR 96.6 million
in 2016G, primarily due to rendering services for on-going projects within the government sector. During 2017G,
the sales from Operation and Maintenance unit further increased by 35.0% to SAR 130.4 million due to additional
sales generated from the on-going projects with key customers as well as signing new contracts related to geographic
information systems (GIS) and maintenance services.

The Networking unit is engaged in building efficient and cost effective networks and communication solutions based
on technologies from various leading ICT service providers including cross-architecture technologies (SDN, NFV,
Automation, and Management & Orchestration (MANO) technologies). Networking unit sales decreased by 27.1%
in 2016G, from SAR 99.0 million in 2015G to SAR 72.1 million in 2016G, primarily due to the decrease in public
spending, which affected government customers in the wake of the general economic downturn. In addition, the absence
of business orders from previous years during 2016G also contributed to the decline in sales, as this is a major factor for
sales growth as well as new orders. In 2017G, sales from Networks increased by 31.5% from SAR 72.1 million in 2016G
to SAR 94.9 million in 2017G, mainly due to increased sales of new contracts signed with private sector customers in
2017G.

The Systems unit provides technological products and business expertise designed to increase effectiveness, efficiency,
adaptability, and growth. The Company’s hardware partners mainly include Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE),
Microsoft, VMware, and Citrix. The Systems unit’s sales decreased by 82.2%, from SAR 300.3 million in 2015G to
SAR 53.4 million in 2016G. This decline was mainly due to the restructuring of certain products and services (including
Oracle products) from the Systems unit to the Solutions unit, as the Company bifurcated these based on the nature of
products and services provided under each unit in order to better analyze the units’ performance, and the comparatives
have been restated. In 2017G, sales of this unit increased by 57.4% from SAR 53.4 million in 2016G to SAR 84.0 million
in 2017G, mainly due to new contracts with customers in the private and government sector pertaining to key suppliers’
hardware setup. Systems unit was previously termed as Hardware and Software Integration (HSWI) unit.

The Information Security unit provides a broad portfolio of industry solutions, which assist customers in developing,
deploying, fulfilling, and maintaining the security of their data. The Company provides information security solutions
for all 10 domains of IT security, from the physical layer to the application layer. Sales from this unit decreased by 15.4%
in 2016G from SAR 83.1 million in 2015G to SAR 70.3 million in 2016G, primarily due to budgetary restrictions on
government customers on account of overall economic downturn. In 2017G, sales from this unit increased by 10.3%
from SAR 70.3 million in 2016G to SAR 77.5 million in 2017G, mainly due to increased sales of new contracts signed
with private and government sector customers in 2017G.

Due to the nature of the Company’s revenue streams, the business or the financial condition of any of the business units
of the Company are not affected by seasonality.

Source: Management information

Sales generated from government customers decreased by 35.7% in 2016G from SAR 335.7 million in 2015G to SAR
215.7 million in 2016G, mainly due to lower sales from contracts with the General Organization for Social Insurance
(GOSI), Ministry of Interior (MOI) and government universities driven by low public spending in the wake of overall
economic downturn. In contrast, sales generated from the government sector increased by 92.4% in 2017G, from SAR
215.7 million in 2016G to SAR 414.9 million in 2017G. This primarily resulted from an increase in sales from most of
the contracts with ministries, government agencies, and government universities driven by recovery of overall economic
activity of the region resulting in an increased public spending from the government.

Sales generated from the private sector increased by 10.5% in 2016G from SAR 245.4 million in 2015G to SAR
271.2 million in 2016G. This primarily resulted from an increase in sales from key customers in the petrochemicals,
management consulting services, and automobile sectors as a result of addition of new customers in the Company’s
portfolio. In 2017G, sales generated from the private sector further increased by 17.5% from SAR 271.2 million in
2016G to SAR 318.6 million in 2017G. This primarily resulted from increase in sales from majority of the recurring
customers in various sectors as a result of increase in economic activity during 2017G.

Sales generated from semi-government sector increased by 23.1% in 2016G, from SAR 135.8 million in 2015G to SAR
167.2 million in 2016G. This primarily resulted from the increase in sales with key customers operating in oil and gas
and telecommunications. In 2017G, sales from semi-government sector decreased by 34.6% from SAR 167.2 million in
2016G to SAR 109.3 million in 2017G, mainly resulting from the decline in sales with key customers operating in oil
and gas, telecommunications, and electricity. The sales vary depending on the demand from the customers, as the sales
orders are driven by the capital expenditure capabilities of these customers for IT infrastructure work due to nature of
the Company’s business.

Sales from the Central region declined by 29.8% in 2016G from SAR 488.1 million in 2015G to SAR 342.9 million in
2016G. This primarily resulted from a decline in tenders from government customers due to budgetary restrictions in the
wake of economic downturn. In contrast, sales increased by 70.1% in 2017G, from SAR 342.9 million in 2016G to SAR
583.1 million in 2017G. This primarily resulted from an increase in projects won from government customers as well as
an increase in revenue from Cloud Services from government and private sector customers.

75
Sales from the Eastern region declined by 16.2% in 2016G, from SAR 94.0 million in 2015G to SAR 78.8 million in
2016G. This primarily resulted from completion of certain services (solutions, systems, and data management services)
at the end of 2015G upon expiry of these contracts, which were not present in 2016G. Sales in the Eastern region did not
fluctuate materially between 2016G and 2017G.

Sales from the Western region increased by 72.6% in 2016G, from SAR 134.6 million in 2015G to SAR 232.3 million
in 2016G. This primarily resulted from a data management project for a private sector customer operating in diversified
business and an operation and maintenance project from a government customer. Sales decreased by 23.1% in 2017G
from SAR 232.3 million in 2016G to SAR 178.6 million in 2017G. This resulted primarily from the completion of the
data management project of a private sector customer operating in a variety of business activities.

while it increased by 26.8% to SAR 704.5 million during 2017G. This was largely in line with the sales movement during
the reporting period.

Rebates represent benefits granted by the Company’s vendors for achieving certain sales or payment targets. Such
benefits are offset against cost of sales. Rebates did not witness material fluctuation between 2015G and 2016G. The
rebates declined by 55.7% in 2017G, from SAR 9.3 million in 2016G to SAR 4.1 million in 2017G. This was mainly
because certain products sold during 2017G did not qualify for supplier rebates.

Hardware cost represents the purchase cost of all types of hardware including but not limited to networking, data
management, servers, unified communication hardware, etc. Hardware cost declined by 49.1% in 2016G, from
SAR 272.1 million in 2015G to SAR 138.6 million in 2016G. This primarily resulted from the increase witnessed in
contracts entered for licenses during the year as opposed to hardware-based contracts completed in 2015G on account
of government customers. In contrast, Hardware cost increased by 8.9% in 2017G, from SAR 138.6 million in 2016G
to SAR 150.9 million in 2017G. This primarily resulted from a system integration project provided to a government
customer in the education sector.

and unified communication hardware. Moreover, these also include implementation and installation service costs.
Services cost increased by 21.1% in 2016G, from SAR 64.5 million in 2015G to SAR 78.2 million in 2016G. This
primarily resulted from data management services rendered to a key private sector customer operating in diversified
business sector. Services cost did not fluctuate materially between 2016G and 2017G.

License costs represent the acquisition cost of all licenses and subscriptions from various vendors. License costs increased
by 215.9% in 2016G, from SAR 44.5 million in 2015G to SAR 140.7 million in 2016G. This primarily resulted from
new projects in relation to the Oracle Cloud, which was introduced during 2016G. The cost further increased by 39.5%
in 2017G, from SAR 140.7 million in 2016G to SAR 196.2 million in 2017G. This primarily resulted from new contracts
entered relating to Oracle Cloud space during 2017G.

Maintenance costs are mainly related to support costs paid to vendors for licenses and subscriptions. Maintenance costs
declined by 33.2% in 2016G, from SAR 193.3 million in 2015G to SAR 129.1 million in 2016G. This primarily resulted

2017G, from SAR 129.1 million in 2016G to SAR 205.7 million in 2017G. This primarily resulted from extension of
expired maintenance contracts pertaining to the government sector. It is worth noting that maintenance costs are not
necessarily included in the license and subscription contracts, and that licenses and subscriptions can be purchased, net
of maintenance costs, and vice versa, whereas support services can be provided to customers without selling licenses and
subscriptions to these customers.

offices to provide on-site operation and maintenance services. Employee costs increased by 51.7% in 2016G from SAR

Cost of sales for the Solutions unit increased by 178.4% in 2016G, from SAR 86.7 million in 2015G to SAR 241.5
million in 2016G. This primarily resulted from the restructuring of the certain products and services (including Oracle
products) from the Systems unit to the Solutions unit, as the Company bifurcated these based on the nature of products
and services provided under each unit in order to better analyze the units’ performance, and the comparatives have been
restated. Cost of sales for the Solutions unit further increased by 20.3% in 2017G, from SAR 241.5 million in 2016G
to SAR 290.4 million in 2017G. This primarily resulted from higher discounts offered by the Company to customers
in order to increase its customer portfolio, given that offering larger discounts motivates customers to work with the
Company, resulting in higher sales and cost of sales. The gross margins in the Solutions unit were 9.7%, 9.9% and 9.6%
for 2015G, 2016G, and 2017G, respectively.

Cost of sales for the E-Services unit increased by 31.9%, despite an increase in this unit’s sales by 41.0% in 2016G. This
was mainly due to higher margins on major projects in the telecommunications sector. Cost of sales for this unit further
increased by 26.6% in 2017G, from SAR 60.8 million in 2016G to SAR 76.9 million in 2017G. This primarily resulted
from an increase in revenue from one of the key customers operating in telecommunication sector by SAR 72.0 million

77
in connection with BMC support services. The gross margins in the E-Services unit were 30.6%, 35.1% and 43.0% in
2015G, 2016G, and 2017G, respectively. During 2017G, the gross margins increased as a result of higher margins with
a customer in the private sector for the provision of BMC support services.

Cost of sales for the Operation and Maintenance unit increased by 40.9% in 2016G, from SAR 61.6 million in 2015G
to SAR 86.9 million in 2016G, against an increase of 34.1% in sales. This primarily resulted from a general decrease in
margins of operation and maintenance contracts entered in 2015G and 2016G particularly with government customers.
Cost of sales for this unit further increased by 31.7% in 2017G, from SAR 86.9 million in 2016G to SAR 114.4 million in
2017G as compared to an increase in the unit’s sales by 35.0%. This primarily resulted from higher margins in contracts
with the Ministry of Culture & Information and the Ministry of Municipal & Rural Affairs (MOMRA). Gross margins in
the Operation and Maintenance unit were 14.4%, 10.0%, and 12.2% in 2015G, 2016G, and 2017G, respectively.

Cost of sales for the Networking unit declined by 31.8% in 2016G from SAR 87.1 million in 2015G to SAR 59.4 million
in 2016G. This primarily resulted from overall decline in business activity driven by decreased public spending affecting
government customers in the wake of an overall economic downturn. In contrast, cost of sales for this unit increased
by 36.1% in 2017G from SAR 59.4 million in 2016G to SAR 80.9 million in 2017G. This primarily resulted from the
awarding of new contracts amounting to SAR 23.5 million pertaining to CISCO networking. The gross margins in the
Networking unit were 12.0%, 17.6% and 14.8% in 2015G, 2016G, and 2017G, respectively. The variation in margins
over the period was due to variation of cost of sales as a percentage of sales. Profit margins vary from one customer to
another and depend mainly on the different services provided based on the agreed contracts.

Cost of sales for the Systems unit declined by 82.6% in 2016G from SAR267.2 million in 2015G to SAR 46.5 million
in 2016G. This primarily resulted from reclassification of revenue between the business units, as certain products and
services for key vendors were restructured from the Systems unit to the Solutions unit. The Company bifurcated these
based on the nature of products and services provided under each unit in order to better analyze the units’ performance
and the comparatives were restated. Cost of sales from the Systems unit increased by 59.2% in 2017G against an increase
of 57.4% in sales. This primarily resulted from a general decrease in profit margins of the Company. The gross margins in
the Systems unit were 11.0%, 12.9%, and 11.9% in 2015G, 2016G, and 2017G, respectively. The profitability may vary
on a year-on-year basis depending on the services offered as well as the percentage of discount given to the customer.

Cost of sales for the Information and Security System unit decreased by 14.9% in 2016G from SAR 71.1 million in
2015G to SAR 60.5 million in 2016G. This primarily resulted from the overall decline in public spending by government
customers in the wake of economic downturn, in addition to a decrease in sales of Information Security unit by 15.4%
in 2016G. In contrast, cost of sales for this unit increased by 12.2% in 2017G, from SAR 60.5 million in 2016G to SAR
67.9 million in 2017G. This primarily resulted from the awarding of new contracts amounting to a combined value of
SAR 6.9 million. The gross margins in the Information and Security System unit were 14.4%, 13.9%, and 12.5% in
2015G, 2016G, and 2017G, respectively. A variation in margins may occur as a result of discounts offered as well as the
type of service requested by the customer.

Zakat is calculated in accordance with rules and regulation issued by the General Authority of Zakat and Tax (GAZT).
Zakat grew at a CAGR of 15.1% from SAR 4.9 million in 2015G to SAR 6.5 million in 2017G. This primarily resulted
from an increase in the Zakat base of the Company from SAR 195.3 million on 31 December 2015G to SAR 258.9
million on 31 December 2017G.

Zakat provision decreased by 8.0% on 31 December 2017G from SAR 7.0 million on 31 December 2016G to SAR 6.5
million on 31 December 2017G. This primarily resulted due to reclassification of net provision of SAR 1.7 million to
WHT payable under accrued expenses and other liabilities. This provision was created in 2008G when the Company
changed from a limited liability company to a joint stock company.

6.5.1.10  Net Income


Net income decreased by 11.8% in 2016G from SAR 40.9 million in 2015G to SAR 36.1 million in 2016G. This
primarily resulted from an increase in financial charges due to additional borrowing facilities utilized by the Company
during 2015G, as well as an increase in the SIBOR rate, the full year impact of which was observed in 2016G.

Net income increased by 112.9% in 2017G from SAR 36.1 million in 2016G to SAR 76.8 million in 2017G. This was
primarily due to an increase in the Company’s sales from SAR 654.0 million in 2016G to SAR 842.8 million in 2017G.
Sales growth was observed across all business units. Moreover, the increase in gross profit margin and the decrease in
selling and distribution expenses in 2017G also improved net income for the year. Higher gross profit margin was mainly
associated with the E-Services unit arising from two key customers, while the decrease in sales and distribution expenses
was mainly driven by lower employee costs.

2015G to SAR 162.2 million on 31 December 2016G. This primarily resulted from the delayed payments from customers,
leading to the utilization of additional financing during 2015G. Short-term loans increased by 10.4% on 31 December
2017G, from SAR 162.2 million on 31 December 2016G to SAR 179.1 million on 31 December 2017G. This was
primarily on account of obtaining additional financing as a result of late recovery of payment from a customer amounting
to SAR 17.0 million, driven by a delay in the bank clearing process.

balance increased by 193.0% as of 31 December 2017G, from SAR 2.0 million on 31 December 2016G to SAR 5.8
million on 31 December 2017G. This was primarily due to obtaining new facility from a bank to issue LCs for various
vendors for a government sector customer.

Short-term loans are secured by personal guarantees of the shareholders, promissory notes, and assignment of certain
contract proceeds as a security for financing facilities. As of 31 December 2017G, the value of the promissory notes and
shareholders’ guarantees provided as a security amounted to SAR 690.7 million and SAR 740.7 million, respectively.

delayed payments to the suppliers as a result of cash short falls driven by delay in collection from government customers,
in addition to the increase in number of projects. This led to an increase in average days payable from 68 days as of 31
December 2015G to 79 days and 93 days as of 31 December 2016G and 2017G, respectively.

payable declined from SAR 7.0 million on 31 December 2016G to SAR 6.4 million on 31 December 2017G. This

6.6   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations for the First Half of 2018G
The following section on the Management’s discussion and analysis reviews the Company’s financial condition and
operational performance. This section is based upon the Company’s audited financial statements for the six-month period
ended 30 June 2018G, prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) endorsed by
SOCPA. The Company’s financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018G were reviewed by Ernst &
Young (EY). These aforementioned financial statements are a part of this Prospectus.

6.6.1  Basis of Preparation

Statement of Compliance
The Company’s first interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs) that are endorsed in KSA and other standards and pronouncements that are endorsed by Saudi
Organization for Certified Public Accountants (“SOCPA”) (collectively referred to as “IFRSs as endorsed in KSA”) for
the part of the period (i.e. as at and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018G) covered by the first annual financial
statements in accordance with IFRSs as endorsed in KSA as at and for the year ending 31 December 2018G. Accordingly,
IFRS 1 “First time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” endorsed in KSA has been applied.

When the Company prepares its first complete set of financial statements in accordance with IFRSs as endorsed in
KSA as at and for the year ending 31 December 2018G, they will be prepared in accordance with the Standards and
Interpretations in effect as at that date and as endorsed in KSA.

Preparation of Interim Financial Statements

(A) Accounting conventions


The interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the employee defined benefit
liability. These have been actuarially valued. The financial statements are presented in Saudi Arabian Riyals (SAR).

(B) Currency in use


The interim financial statements are presented in Saudi Arabian Riyals (SAR) which is also the Company’s functional
currency.

6.6.2  Significant accounting estimates, assumptions, and judgments


The preparation of the Company’s interim financial statements requires the Management to make estimates, assumptions,
and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of income, expenses, assets, and liabilities at the reporting date.
However, the uncertainty of these assumptions and estimates may result in a material change to the carrying amount of
the assets or liabilities that will be affected in the future. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and other various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form
the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of
the revision and further periods, if the review affects both current and future periods.

Estimates and assumptions


The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have
a significant risk of causing material differences in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial
period, are presented below. The Company used these assumptions and estimates on the basis available when the interim
financial statements were prepared. However, existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may
change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are
reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

Long-term assumptions of employee benefits


Employees’ end-of-service benefits represent obligations that will be settled in the future and require assumptions to
project obligations. Management is required to make further assumptions regarding variables such as discount rates,
rate of salary increase, mortality rates, employment turnover and future healthcare costs. Periodically, management of
the Company consults with external actuaries regarding these assumptions. Changes in key assumptions can have a
significant impact on the projected benefit obligations and/or periodic employee defined benefit costs incurred.

97
Provisions
By their nature, provisions are dependent upon estimates and assessments whether the criteria for recognition have been
met, including estimates of the probability of cash outflows. Provisions for litigation are based on an estimate of the
costs, taking into account legal advice and other information presently available. Provisions for termination benefits and
exit costs, if any, also involve management’s judgement in estimating the expected cash outflows for other exit costs.
Provisions for uncertain liabilities involve management’s best estimate of whether cash outflows are probable.

Impairment of non-financial assets


Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”) exceeds its recoverable amount,
which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal
calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or
observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing off the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a
Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next four to six years and do
not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will
enhance the performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the
DCF model as well as the expected future net cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

The following critical judgments have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the interim financial
statements:

(A) Provision for doubtful debts


The Company reviews its accounts receivable at each reporting date to determine whether a provision for doubtful debts
shall be recognized in the interim statement of income. In particular, judgment is required by the Management to estimate
the amount and timing of future cash flows in determining the level of provision required. These estimates are based
on assumptions about the number of factors, and actual results may differ, resulting in future changes in the provision.

(B) Economic useful lives of property and equipment


The Company’s management determines the estimated useful lives of its property and equipment for calculating
depreciation. This estimate is determined after considering the expected usage of the asset or physical wear and tear. The
Company periodically reviews estimated useful lives and the depreciation method to ensure that the method and year of
depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits derived from these assets.

6.6.3  Significant accounting policies

Current versus non-current classification


The Company presents assets and liabilities in statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when it is;


—— Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle.
—— Held primarily for the purpose of trading.
—— Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
—— Cash or cash equivalent, unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve
months after the reporting period.
The Company classifies all other assets that do not meet the above criteria as non-current.

A liability is current when it is:


—— Expected to be settled in normal operating cycle.
—— Held primarily for the purpose of trading.
—— Due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period.
—— There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the
reporting period.
The Company classifies all other liabilities that do not meet the above criteria as non-current.

98
Revenue recognition
IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018G. The new revenue standard introduces a
single principle-based five-step model for the recognition of revenue when control of a good is transferred to or a service
performed for the customer. The five steps are: identify the contract(s) with the customer, identify the performance
obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price, and recognize revenue when
the performance obligation is satisfied.

IFRS 15 also requires enhanced disclosures about revenue to help investors better understand the nature, amount, timing
and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers, and improves the comparability of revenue
from contracts with customers. The standard permits either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for
the adoption.

Being a first time adopter in 2018G, the Company has applied IFRS 15 retrospectively from the earliest presented period,
which is 1 January 2017G (the date of transition to IFRSs as endorsed in KSA) and used certain practical expedients (as
listed below).

The company has applied following practical expedients:


—— The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of significant financing
component where period between delivery of promised services and payment from customer is one year or less.
—— For periods before the date of initial application, the Company does not provide disclosures for remaining
performance obligations.
—— The Company does not disclose the amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance
obligations and an explanation of when the entity expects to recognize that amount as revenue for periods prior
to the date of transition to IFRSs as endorsed in KSA.
The Company recognizes revenue as and when customer receives and consumes the services provided by the Company
over a period of time i.e. number of days services are provided, which is in line with the requirements of IFRS 15.
Accordingly, there is no material effect of adopting IFRS 15 on the recognition of revenue of the Company.

Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on
behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when the services are rendered to customers. Contract revenues
are recognized based on manpower services provided to the customers (the services represent the performance obligation
of the contract) over the terms of these agreements.

Variable consideration
If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount of consideration
to which the Company is entitled in exchange for transferring the promised services to a customer.

Significant financing component


The Company adjusts the promised amount of consideration, if any, for the time value of money if the contract contains
a significant financing component.

Measuring progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation


For revenue streams, the performance obligation (rendering of services) is satisfied either point in time or over time.
There was no restatement due to this change as the Company’s policy is already in line with the requirements of IFRS 15.

Contract costs
Contract costs are recognized as an expense unless the Company has a reasonable expectation to recover these costs from
its customers and in cases where these costs are recoverable from the customers. The Company amortize these costs
either point in time or on a systematic basis, consistent with the transfer to the customer of the services.

The Company recognizes contract costs if:


—— The costs relate directly attributed to the contract or to a specific anticipated contract that the Company could
specifically identify.
—— The costs generate or enhance resources for the Company and will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to
satisfy) performance obligations in the future.
—— It is expected to recover additional costs to be awarded the contract with the customer.

99
—— It is expected that these costs would not be incurred in the event that the contract is not awarded or if the
Company has not identified the specific anticipated contract.
—— Costs directly related to the contract (or a specific anticipated contract) include:

A- Direct labor
B- Direct materials
C- Allocation costs directly related to the contract or contract activities.
D- Costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer under the contract; and
E- Other costs that are incurred only because the entity entered into the contract.

Contract assets and liabilities


Under IFRS 15, when either party to a contract has performed, an entity shall present the contract in the statement of
financial position as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between the entity’s performance
and the customer’s payment. A contract asset is an entity’s right to consideration in exchange for services that the
entity has transferred to a customer. A contract liability is an entity’s obligation to transfer services to a customer for
which the entity has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. There has been a
reclassification from unbilled revenues to contract assets due to this change.

Principal versus agent considerations


The Company has evaluated its arrangements to determine whether it is a principal, and report revenues on a gross basis,
or an agent, and report revenues on a net basis. In this assessment, the Company has considered if it has obtained control
of the specified services before they are transferred to the customer, as well as other indicators such as the party primarily
responsible for fulfilment, inventory risk and discretion in establishing price. The Company has concluded that they are
principal in all revenue arrangements. There was no restatement due to this change as the Company’s policy is already
in line with the requirements of IFRS 15.

Presentation and disclosure Requirements


As required for the financial statements, the Company disaggregated revenue recognized from contracts with customers
into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by
economic factors.

The Company recognizes revenue from the following major sources:


—— Sale of computer equipment and hardware
—— Sale of software license
—— Hardware maintenance services
—— Software license support
—— Supply of manpower

(i) Sale of computer equipment and hardware


The Company supplies computer equipment and hardware to Government and Private sector customers in the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia. Warranties associated with the sale of computer equipment and hardware are provided by principal
vendors.

Revenue is recognized when control of the equipment has transferred, generally on delivery of the equipment.

(ii) Sale of software license


Revenue from software license sales is recognized when the Company transfers the control of services to a customer.
Accordingly, the revenue from license sale is recognized at a point in time.

(iii) Hardware maintenance services


Hardware maintenance service is considered a distinct service, as it is regularly supplied by the Company to other
customers on a standalone basis and is available for customers from other providers in the market. Revenue relating to
these maintenance services is recognized over time.

100
(iv) Software license support
The Company provides various software installation and other support services for specialized business operations. Such
services are recognized as a performance obligation satisfied over time.

(v) Supply of manpower


The Company provides technical manpower to support customers in implementing various IT projects. Revenue from
supply of manpower is recognized over time.

Other income
Other income is recognized when earned.

Costs and expenses


Costs are directly related to goods or services are classified as direct cost. Expenses which are attributable to marketing,
advertising, and promotional activities are classified as marketing expenses. All other indirect expenses are classified as
general and administrative expenses.

Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the
inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of
a specific asset (or assets) and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that asset is not explicitly
specified in an arrangement.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease substantially transfer all the risks and rewards
of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. The Company does not have any finance
leases.

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another
systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

Employee benefits

Employee defined benefit liabilities


The employee defined benefit liability is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations
being carried out at the end of each reporting period. Re-measurements, comprised of actuarial gains and losses, are
reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive
income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements recognized in other comprehensive income are reflected
immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. Changes in the
present value of the DBO resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in the statement
of profit and loss as past service costs. Interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period
to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:
—— Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and
settlements)
—— Interest expense
—— Re-measurement
The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in relevant line items.

Short-term employee benefits


A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, air tickets, and
sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees
render the related service. The liability is recorded at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in
exchange for that service.

Retirement benefits
Retirement benefits made to defined contribution plans are expensed when incurred.

101
Zakat
The Company is subject to Zakat in accordance with regulations of the General Authority of Zakat and Tax (GAZT).
The provision is charged to the income statement. Zakat are provided on an accrual basis. The Zakat charge is calculated
according to the Zakat base or adjusted net income. Any difference in the estimate is recorded when the final assessment
is approved.

Property and equipment


Property and equipment, except land and capital work-in-progress, are stated at cost, minus accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Land and capital work-in-progress are stated at cost, minus impairment in
value, if any.

Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. Subsequent costs are
included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that
the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably.

Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets minus their residual values over their useful lives, using
the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of
each reporting period, with the effect of any changes accounted for on a prospective basis.

The Company applies the following annual rates of depreciation to its property and equipment:

Equipment 20%
Motor vehicles 20%
Furniture and fixtures 20%

An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to
arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property
and equipment is determined as the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and
is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognized.

Work in progress
Contract work in progress consists of material, labor and attributable overheads.

Contract work in progress is recorded at cost

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost upon initial recognition. Following initial recognition,
intangible assets are carried at cost minus any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are also reviewed for impairment where there is
evidence suggesting such impairment. Period and method of amortization of definite intangible assets are reviewed at
least once at the end of each financial period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption
of future economic benefits embodied in the asset, are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method,
as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense is recognized in other
comprehensive income in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.

An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal.
Profits or losses resulting from intangible asset de-recognition (calculated at the difference between net disposal proceeds
and the asset’s carrying amount) are recognized in the comprehensive income statement.

The Company applies an annual rate of amortization of 20% to its intangible assets.

Impairment of non-financial assets


At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial asset to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. Assets that have indefinite useful
life, e.g., land, are tested annually for impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset
is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the
recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to
which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also

102
allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating
units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value minus cost to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated
future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been
adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the
carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
recognized immediately in comprehensive income.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased
to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit)
in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in interim statement of comprehensive
income.

Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to
participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those
policies.

The Company’s investment in associates is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the
investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize
changes in Company’s share of net assets of the associate since the acquisition date.

The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same period as the Company. Where necessary, adjustments
are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Company.

After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognize an impairment loss
on its investment in associates. The Company makes sure at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence
that the investment in associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Company calculates the amount of impairment as being
the difference between the fair value of the associate and the carrying value and recognizes the loss in the “Share in an
associate” portion of the interim statement of income.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Company measures and recognizes any retained investment at
fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence or joint control
and the fair value of the retaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in interim statement of income.

Dividends
The Company recognizes a liability related to distribution of dividends, when the distribution is approved and is no
longer subject to the Company’s discretion. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in statement of changes in
equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents


For the purposes of preparing the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and deposits
with banks, all of which are available for use by the Company unless otherwise stated and have maturities of three
months, subject to insignificant risk of changes in values.

Foreign currencies transactions


Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using spot exchange rates at the date on which
the transaction first met the criteria for recognition.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency exchange rates
at the reporting date.

Differences arising from payment or transfer of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange
rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are

103
translated at the rates prevailing at the date that the fair value was determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of
non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of gain or loss on change in fair value
of the item (i.e., the translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in OCI or profit or loss
are also recognized in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).

Financial instruments
IFRS 9 requires the classification of financial assets into three classes of measurement at initial recognition: Financial
assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income, and financial assets measured at amortized cost. Investment in equity instruments shall be measured at fair value
through profit or loss. However, there is an irrevocable option to present fair value changes in other comprehensive
income. The measurement and classification of financial assets depends on the entity’s business model for managing
the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. For financial liabilities, the IFRS
9 did not change most of the requirements in IAS 39. The main change is that where the fair value option is included
in the financial liability, the portion of the change in the fair value of the entity’s credit risk is recognized in other
comprehensive income instead of the statement of income, unless this results in an accounting mismatch.

IFRS 9 introduces a new three-stage approach to expected credit losses to account for impairment of financial assets.
IFRS 9 no longer require the occurrence of a resulting event before credit loss is recognized. The entity is required to
recognize the expected credit loss at initial recognition of the financial instruments and update the expected amount of
credit losses recognized at the reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk relating to financial instruments. In addition,
IFRS 9 requires additional disclosure requirements for expected credit losses and credit risk.

This standard is mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018G. Early adoption is permitted.

Changes in accounting policies arising from the application of IFRS 9 have been applied retroactively.

The impact of the IFRS 9 application is disclosed in Note 6 of the interim financial statements, which relates to new
requirements for impairment, reclassification of original measurement classes in accordance with IAS 39, and new
measurement categories in accordance with IFRS 9 for each category of the Company’s financial instruments.

Recognition and Initial Measurement


A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one enterprise and financial liability or equity
instrument of another enterprise.

A financial instrument is recognized in the statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

The instrument is initially measured at fair value plus - in the case of items not included at fair value through profit or
loss - transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue.

Financial Assets

1- Classification of financial assets


At initial recognition, financial assets are measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income
or at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if the following two conditions are met and if they are not recognized at
fair value through profit or loss:

a- The financial asset is acquired within the business model with a view to acquiring financial assets to collect
contractual cash flows.
b- The contractual terms of the financial asset result, on specific dates, cash flows that represent only payments of
the principal amount and commission on the outstanding principal amount.

At initial recognition of equity investments that are not held for trading, the Group may elect irrevocably to present
subsequent changes in fair value within other comprehensive income. This selection is made on an investment-by-
investment basis.

All unquoted financial assets are measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income as
described above and at fair value through profit or loss. At initial recognition, the Company can irrevocably allocate
a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other

104
comprehensive income as measured at fair value through profit or loss in case this action eliminates or significantly
reduces accounting mismatch, which may arise otherwise.

A financial asset (unless it represents a trade receivable that does not include a significant financing component originally
measured at the transaction price) is measured at fair value plus -in the case of items not carried at fair value through
profit or loss - transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition.

2- Subsequent measurement
Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value. Net profits and losses,
including any commission and dividends, are recognized in the interim income statement.

Financial assets carried at amortized cost are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective commission rate
method. Amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Commission income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and
impairment losses are recognized in the comprehensive income statement. Any gain or loss arising from de-recognition
is recognized in the interim statement of other comprehensive income.

Finance income is recognized by applying the effective commission rate.

Investments in debt instruments carried at fair value through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at
fair value. Commission income calculated in accordance with the effective commission rate method, foreign exchange
gains, and losses and impairment losses are recognized in the comprehensive income statement. Other net gains and
losses are recognized in the interim comprehensive income statement. Upon de-recognition, the cumulative gain or
loss in other comprehensive income is reclassified to the interim comprehensive income statement. Equity investments
carried at fair value through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividend income is
recognized as income in the income statement, unless the dividend is clearly an amount recovered from the cost of the
investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in the interim comprehensive income statement and are never
reclassified to profit or loss.

3- Reclassifications
Financial assets are not reclassified upon initial recognition, except for the period following the change of the Company’s
business model for managing financial assets.

4- De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily
derecognized (i.e. removed from the Company’s statement of financial position) when: The rights to receive cash flows
from the asset have expired; or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has
assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’
arrangement; and either (a) the Company has substantially transferred all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the
Company has neither substantially transferred nor retained all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred
control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through
arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the
Company continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the
Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis
that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the
original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to
repay.

Expected credit loss (ECL) assessment for accounts receivables and contract assets
The Company adopts the simplified approach in accordance with IFRS 9 to measure expected credit losses, which uses
the provision for lifetime expected credit losses. This approach is used to evaluate the provision against:
—— Financial assets measured at amortized cost.
—— Contract assets.

105
The expected loss rates are determined on the basis of repayment data for accounts receivable over the 12-month
period prior to each financial period and prior corresponding credit losses incurred during the period. Previous loss
rates are adjusted to reflect current and future macroeconomic information that affects the ability of customers to settle
receivables. The Company has chosen the gross domestic product (GDP) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (the country
where it operates and provides services) as the most appropriate factor and accordingly is adjusting the previous loss
rates based on the expected changes in such factors. The estimated credit losses of these financial assets are estimated
using a provision matrix

Macroeconomic weighted average scenarios


The company accounts for the macro-economic factor of GDP to develop scenarios with the weighted outcome achieved
using best- and worst-case scenarios. Scenario-based analysis makes use of future information in estimating impairment
with multiple future macroeconomic scenarios. The expected credit loss estimate reflects the weighted amount of the
unbiased probability, which is determined by evaluating a number of possible outcomes.

Specific provision
The specific provision is recognized on a customer-by-customer basis at each reporting date. The Company recognizes
a specific provision for receivables from certain customers. Provisions are reversed only when the amounts received are
recovered from customers.

Write-off
The total carrying amount of a financial asset (whether in part or in whole) is written off to the extent that there is no
reasonable expectation of recovery. This is generally the case when the company determines that the debtor has no assets
or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to settle the write-offs.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement


The Company classifies its financial liabilities, other than financial guarantees and loan commitments, as financial
liabilities measured at amortized cost or at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are recognized at fair
value through profit or loss if they are classified as financial liabilities held for trading or as derivatives or if they are
designated as such at initial recognition.

Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and net profit and loss, including
commission expense, are recognized in the interim comprehensive income statement. Other financial liabilities are
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective commission rate. Commission expense and foreign
exchange gains and losses are recognized in the interim comprehensive income statement. Any gain or loss arising from
de-recognition is recognized in the comprehensive income statement.

De-recognition
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
In the event that the existing financial liabilities are exchanged for others with the same lender on completely different
terms or by modification of the current liability terms, such exchange or modification shall be accounted for and the
existing liability is derecognized and the new liabilities are recognized. The difference between the respective carrying
amounts is recognized in the comprehensive income statement.

Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if
there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis
or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

106
Fair value measurement
The Company at each reporting date measures financial instruments such as equity instruments designated FVOCI at
fair value.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the
transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
—— In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
—— In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured with the assumption that market participants would use when pricing
the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the
asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available
to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole:
—— Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
—— Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is directly or indirectly observable.
—— Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines
whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy of the fair value by re-assessing the categorization
(based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting
period.

The Company determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, and for non-recurring
measurement.

External valuers assess important assets such as real estate, financial assets available-for-sale, and significant liabilities
such as contingent consideration. The work of external valuers is decided annually by the Valuation Committee after
the Company’s Audit Committee discusses and approves it. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation,
independence, and whether professional standards are observed. Upon discussion with the Company’s external valuers,
the Valuation Committee decides on valuation methods adopted in each case.

At each reporting date, the Valuation Committee analyzes the changes in the value of assets and liabilities to be re-
measured or revalued in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies. For the purposes of this analysis, the
Valuation Committee verifies the key inputs adopted in the last valuation by matching the information used for valuation
with contracts and other related documents.

The Company also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to
determine whether the change is reasonable.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of
the nature, characteristics, and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past
event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of
management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time

107
value of money and the risks specific to liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized
as financial charges

Segment reporting
An operating sector is a component of the Company:
—— That engaged in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses
—— Results of its operations are continuously analyzed by management in order to make decision regarding resource
allocation and performance assessment.
—— For which discrete financial information is available.
The Company’s operational business is organized and managed independently according to the nature of the services
provided. Each sector is a strategic unit offering different products to its respective market.

For management purpose, the Company is organized into six segments, as described below:

E-Services Unit, Solutions Unit, Systems Unit, Information Security System Unit (ISSU), Networking Unit and
Operation and Maintenance Unit.

A geographical segment is a Company of assets, operations or entities engaged in revenue producing activities within a
particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns different from those operating in other economic
environments. The Company only operates in KSA and accordingly has no geographical segment.

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged either in providing products or services (a
business segment) or in provide which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.

Revenue from contracts with customers increased by 55.7% from SAR 254.0 million during the six months period ended
30 June 2017G to SAR 395.5 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2018G. This primarily resulted from
an increase in revenue from the Systems and Information Security units by SAR 68.3 million and SAR 52.2 million,
respectively. Increases in the aforementioned business units were driven by new projects undertaken by the Company
during the six months period ended 30 June 2018G.

Direct costs increased by 54.6% from SAR 225.9 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2017G to SAR
349.2 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2018G. This primarily resulted from an increase in direct costs
from the Systems and Information Security units by SAR 62.5 million and SAR 46.8 million, respectively, in line with
their respective revenue growths.

Gross profit increased by 65.3% from SAR 28.1 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2017G to SAR 46.4
million during the six months period ended 30 June 2018G. This primarily resulted from an increase in sales contribution
by the E-Services, Systems, and Information Security units which in turn resulted in higher gross profit contribution of
SAR 6.7 million, SAR 5.8 million, and SAR 5.4 million, respectively.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 18.4% from SAR 6.1 million during the six months period ended 30 June
2017G to SAR 5.0 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2018G. This primarily resulted from a decrease
in advertising and sales promotion expenses by 64.9% on account of lower expenses incurred on advertising campaigns
and exhibitions held by the Company’s key vendors.

General and administrative expenses decreased by 12.2% from SAR 19.6 million during the six months period ended
30 June 2017G to SAR 17.2 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2018G. This primarily resulted from
provision for credit losses recognized during the six months period ended 30 June 2017G mainly for outstanding long-
term trade receivables and unbilled receivables. In comparison, no such provision was recognized during the six months
period ended 30 June 2018G.

Operating profit increased from SAR 2.3 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2017G to SAR 24.1 million
during the six months period ended 30 June 2018G. This primarily resulted from an increase in gross profit by 65.3%.

Share of loss of associates did not witness material fluctuation between the six-month period ended 30 June 2017G and
the six-month period ended 30 June 2018G.

Finance cost increased by 15.2% from SAR 7.9 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2017G to SAR 9.1
million during the six months period ended 30 June 2018G. This primarily resulted from an increase in finance charges
on short-term loans by 26.0%.

Finance income increased by 332.3% from SAR 0.4 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2017G to
SAR 1.6 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2018G. This primarily resulted from unwinded interest on
discounted long-term trade receivables.

Other income decreased by 59.3% from SAR 0.4 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2017G to SAR
0.2 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2018G. This primarily resulted from an income from HRDF
recognized during the six months period ended 30 June 2017G. In comparison, this income was not recognized during
the six months period ended 30 June 2018G.

The Company incurred a loss before Zakat of SAR 6.4 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2017G
as compared to a profit before Zakat of SAR 14.9 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2018G. This
primarily resulted from an increase in operating profit by SAR 21.8 million.

Zakat expense increased by 28.7% from SAR 2.4 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2017G to SAR 3.1
million during the six months period ended 30 June 2018G. This primarily resulted from an increase in the Zakat base.

The Zakat base for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018G represented shareholders’ equity, adjusted net income,
and other payables that have completed one Hijri year. The increase in Zakat base during the six-month period ended 30
June 2018G is attributed to the increase in provisions and other adjustments.

The Company incurred a loss for the period of SAR 8.9 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2017G
as compared to a profit for the period of SAR 11.8 million during the six months period ended 30 June 2018G. This
primarily resulted from loss before Zakat recognized during the six months period ended 30 June 2017G as compared
profit before Zakat recognized during the six months period ended 30 June 2018G. The loss recorded in 2017G was
mainly attributable to higher operating cost arising from a provision recorded for accounts receivable, following the
adoption of IFRS.

against billed and unbilled receivables, following the adoption of the IFRS framework in 2018G.

Telecom “Ittisalat Almaghrib”. These investments are not held for trading, instead these are held for medium- to long-

Short-term financing facilities increased by 18.1% from SAR 173.3 million as of 31 December 2017G to SAR
204.8 million as of 30 June 2018G. This primarily resulted from an increase in Alawwal Bank financing facility and
Banque Saudi Fransi financing facility by 146.2% and 49.6%, respectively. Additional financing drawdowns from the
aforementioned banks were mainly on account of working capital financing for in-progress projects of the Company.

Short-term financing facilities are secured by personal guarantees of the shareholders, promissory notes, and assignment
of certain contract proceeds as a security.

Letter of credit facilities increased by 45.5% from SAR 5.8 million as of 31 December 2017G to SAR 8.4 million as
of 30 June 2018G. This primarily resulted from a new letter of credit refinanced facility obtained from NBK. This was
initially a letter of credit obtained for one of the local suppliers for a Ministry of Transport project; however, it was
converted to a loan by National Bank of Kuwait closer to its maturity as of 30 June 2018G. Noting that the letter of credit
has a 90-day maturity, with the Company retaining the option to pay the amount when it is due or transferring it to a

Trade payables increased by 95.6% from SAR 133.3 million as of 31 December 2017G to SAR 260.7 million as of 30
June 2018G. This primarily resulted from an increase in payables mainly related to equipment and software vendors in
respect of new projects undertaken by the Company. This led to an increase in average days payable increased from 118
days as of 31 December 2017G to 167 days as of 30 June 2018G.

Withholding tax payable decreased by 12.4% from SAR 17.2 million as of 31 December 2017G to SAR 15.1 million
as of 30 June 2018G. This primarily resulted from settlement of withholding taxes incurred on payments made by the
Company to foreign vendors in respect of purchases for the projects.

Amounts due to related parties decreased by 99.5% from SAR 8.8 million as of 31 December 2017G to SAR 44,435 as
of 30 June 2018G. This primarily resulted from payments made to Electronic Maps Trading Company for the purchase
of GIS and other products, which were outstanding as of 31 December 2017G.

employees. Other payables decreased by 90.8% from SAR 4.3 million as of 31 December 2017G to SAR 0.4 million as

Kingdom pursuant to a decision of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Term of the Company


The term of the Company shall be ninety-nine (99) Gregorian years commencing from the date of issue of the resolution
of the Minister of Commerce announcing the Company’s conversion. The term of the Company may always be extended
by a resolution issued by the Extraordinary General Assembly at least one (1) year prior to the expiration of its term.

Company’s Share Capital:


The share capital of the Company is one hundred and sixty million Saudi Riyals (SAR 160,000,000) divided into sixteen
million (16,000,000) Ordinary Shares with a nominal value of ten Saudi Riyals (SAR 10) per share.

Subscription to the Shares


The founders have subscribed to the Company’s entire capital representing 16,000,000 fully paid Ordinary Shares. All
cash amounts, paid from the capital, have been deposited.

143
Preferred Stock
The Company’s Extraordinary General Assembly may, in accordance with the principles established by the competent
authority, issue preferred shares, or transfer preferred shares to ordinary shares, without giving the preference shares the
right to vote in the General Assemblies of the shareholders. These shares entitle their holders to the right to receive more
than the ordinary shareholders of the net profits of the Company after what is reserved for statutory reserve.

Issuance of shares
The shares shall be nominal shares, and may not be issued at less than their nominal value. However, the shares may be
issued at a value higher than their nominal value, in which case the difference in value shall be added as a separate item
in the shareholders’ equity. They may not be distributed as dividends to the shareholders. A share shall be indivisible vis-
à-vis the Company. In the event that a Share is owned by several persons, they shall select one person from amongst them
to exercise, on their behalf, the rights pertaining to the Share, and they shall be jointly responsible for the obligations
arising from the ownership of the Share.

Capital Increase
An Extraordinary General Assembly may resolve to increase the Company’s capital, provided the paid capital shall have
been paid up in full. It is not required that capital be paid in full where the unpaid part thereof relates to shares issued
in return for converting debts or financing instruments into shares if the term prescribed for its conversion has not yet
ended.

In all cases, the Extraordinary General Assembly may allocate any or some of issued shares to employees in the Company
and its affiliates when the capital or part thereof increases. Shareholders may not exercise pre-emptive rights when the
Company issues shares designated for employees.

Shareholders who own shares at the time of the decision by the Extraordinary General Assembly approving a capital
increase shall have the priority right to subscribe in the new shares issued for monetary interests. Such shareholders shall
be informed, through an announcement published in a daily newspaper or informed through the registered mail, of their
priority, the decision to increase capital, and the terms, duration, and start and expiry dates of such subscription.

The Extraordinary General Assembly shall be entitled to suspend priority rights enjoyed by the shareholders in the
subscription, in order to facilitate capital increases in exchange for cash shares, or, to give priority to non-shareholders
in such cases as it deems appropriate for the benefit of the Company.

The shareholder in question may sell or waive priority rights from the date of General Assembly approval for a capital
increase until the last day of subscription for the new shares associated to these rights, in accordance with measures
imposed by the competent authorities.

Subject to the aforementioned provisions, the new shares shall be distributed to the holders of priority rights applying
for subscription in proportion to their priority rights of the total priority rights arising from the capital increase, provided
that what they obtain shall not exceed what they requested from the new shares. The remainder of the new shares shall
be distributed to the holders of priority rights who requested more than their shares, in proportion to their priority rights
of the total priority rights arising from the capital increase, provided that what they obtain shall not exceed what they
were requesting from the new shares. Unless otherwise decided by the Extraordinary General Assembly, the remainder
of the shares shall be offered to others.

Capital Decrease
Capital may be decreased by a decision of the Extraordinary General Assembly if it exceeds the Company’s need or if
the Company suffers losses. Only in the latter case may capital be decreased to less than the limit stipulated in Article
(54) of the Companies Law. Such resolution shall be issued only after receiving a special report prepared by the Auditor
containing the reasons for such reduction, the obligations to be fulfilled by the Company, and the effect of the reduction
on such obligations.

of the dismissed Board member to claim compensation from the Company if the dismissal occurs for an unacceptable
reason or at an inappropriate time. The Board member may retire, provided that this be in a timely manner, otherwise he/
she shall be responsible to the Company for the damages resulting from his/her retirement.

adequate experience necessary to fill the vacancy. The relevant Ministry and Authority shall be informed whether

provided that such an appointment shall take place before the first General Assembly unless otherwise prescribed by the
Company’s Bylaws. The new Board member shall complete the unexpired term of his predecessor, where applicable If

In 1990G, the full electronic trading of equities was introduced in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Tadawul was founded in
2001G as the successor to the Electronic Securities Information System. Trading in shares occurs on the Tadawul system
through a fully integrated trading system covering the entire trading process from execution of the trade transaction
through its settlement. Trading occurs on each business day of the week between 10:00am and 3:00pm from Sunday to
Thursday, during which orders are executed. However, during other than those times, orders can be entered, amended,
or canceled from 9:30am to 10:00am. The said times are subject to change during the month of Ramadan and are
announced by Tadawul Management. Transactions take place through the automatic matching of orders. Each valid
order is accepted and generated according to the price level. In general, market orders (orders placed at best price) are
executed first, followed by limit orders (orders place at a price limit), provided that, if several orders are generated at the
same price, they are executed according to the time of entry. Tadawul distributes a comprehensive range of information
through various channels, including in particular the Tadawul website and Tadawul Information Link, which supplies
trading data in real time to information providers such as Reuters. Exchange transactions are settled on a T+2 basis, i.e.
share ownership transfers takes two business days after the trade transaction is executed.

189
Listed Companies are required to disclose all material decisions and information that are important for the investors
via Tadawul. Surveillance and monitoring are the responsibility of Tadawul as the operator of the market to ensure fair
trading and an orderly market.

17.11   Trading of the Company’s Shares


It is expected that dealing in the Shares will commence on Tadawul after finalization of the allocation process and the
announcement of the start date of trading by Tadawul. Following listing, Saudi nationals, non-Saudi nationals holding
valid residency permits in the Kingdom, GCC nationals, companies, banks, and investment funds will be permitted to
trade in the Offer Shares once they are traded on the Exchange. Moreover, Qualified Foreign Investors and Approved
QFI Clients will be permitted to trade in the Shares in accordance with the Rules for Qualified Foreign Financial
Institutions Investment in Listed Shares. Non-Saudi nationals living outside the Kingdom and institutions registered
outside the Kingdom will also have the right to invest indirectly to acquire economic benefits in the Shares by entering
into SWAP agreements with Authorized Persons to acquire, hold, and trade in the Shares on the Exchange on behalf of
a foreign non-GCC investor. It should be noted that Authorized Persons shall be deemed the legal owners of the Shares
under the SWAP agreements.

Furthermore, Shares can only be traded after allocated Offer Shares have been credited to Subscribers’ accounts at
Tadawul, the Company has been registered and its Shares listed on the Exchange. Pre-trading in Shares is strictly
prohibited and Subscribers entering into any pre-trading activities will be acting at their own risk. The Company and the
Selling Shareholders shall have no legal responsibility in connection with pre-trading activities.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

2.1 Statement of compliance


These are the Company’s first interim financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) that are endorsed in KSA and other standards and pronouncements that are endorsed by
Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants (“SOCPA”) (collectively referred to as “IFRS as endorsed in KSA”)
for the part of the period (i.e. as at and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018) covered by the first annual financial
statements in accordance with IFRS as endorsed in KSA as at and for the year ending 31 December 2018. Accordingly,
IFRS 1 “First time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” endorsed in KSA has been applied. Changes
to significant accounting policies are described in note (3) to the interim financial statements. Refer to note (27) for
further information.

When the Company prepares its first complete set of financial statements in accordance with IFRSs as endorsed in

Interpretations in effect as at that date and as endorsed in KSA.

2.2 Preparation of interim financial statements

(i) Accounting convention


These interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the employee defined benefit
liability. These has been actuarially valued.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS


The preparation of the Company’s interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses and assets and liabilities at the reporting date.
However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material
adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future. These estimates and assumptions are
based upon experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and are
used to judge the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates
and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the
period in which the estimates are revised or in the revision period and future periods if the changed estimates affect both
current and future periods.

Estimates and assumptions


The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have
a significant risk of causing material differences in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial
period, are presented below. The Company used these assumptions and estimates on the basis available when the interim
financial statements were prepared. However, existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may
change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are
reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

Long-term assumptions for employee benefits


Employees’ end-of-service benefits represent obligations that will be settled in the future and require assumptions to
project obligations. Management is required to make further assumptions regarding variables such as discount rates,
rate of salary increase, mortality rates, employment turnover and future healthcare costs. Periodically, management of
the Company consults with external actuaries regarding these assumptions. Changes in key assumptions can have a
significant impact on the projected benefit obligations and/or periodic employee defined benefit costs incurred.

Provisions
By their nature, provisions are dependent upon estimates and assessments whether the criteria for recognition have been
met, including estimates of the probability of cash outflows. Provisions for litigation are based on an estimate of the
costs, taking into account legal advice and other information presently available. Provisions for termination benefits and
exit costs, if any, also involve management’s judgement in estimating the expected cash outflows for other exit costs.
Provisions for uncertain liabilities involve management’s best estimate of whether cash outflows are probable.

Impairment test of non-financial assets


Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”) exceeds its recoverable amount,
which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal
calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or
observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing off the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a
Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next four to six years and do
not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will
enhance the performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the
DCF model as well as the expected future net cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS


(continued)
The following critical judgements have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the interim financial
statements:

Provision for doubtful debts


The Company reviews its accounts receivable and contract assets at each reporting date to assess whether a provision for
doubtful debts should be recorded in the statement of comprehensive income. In particular, judgement by management
is required in the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows when determining the level of provision
required. Such estimates are based on assumptions about a number of factors and actual results may differ, resulting in
future changes to the provision. Refer to note (16) for further information.

Economic useful lives of property and equipment


The Company’s management determines the estimated useful lives of its property and equipment for calculating
depreciation. This estimate is determined after considering the expected usage of the asset or physical wear and tear. The
Company periodically reviews estimated useful lives and the depreciation method to ensure that the method and year of
depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits derived from these assets.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Current versus non-current classification


The Company presents assets and liabilities in statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when it is;
—— Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;
—— Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
—— Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
—— Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve
months after the reporting period.
The Company classifies all other assets that do not meet the above criteria, as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when:


—— It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;
—— It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
—— It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
—— There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the
reporting period.
The Company classifies all other liabilities that do not meet the above criteria, as non-current.

Revenue recognition
IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The new revenue standard introduces a
single principle-based five-step model for the recognition of revenue when control of a good is transferred to or a service
performed for the customer. The five steps are: identify the contract(s) with the customer, identify the performance
obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price, and recognize revenue when
the performance obligation is satisfied.

(A Saudi Closed Joint Stock Company)
NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue recognition (continued)


IFRS 15 also requires enhanced disclosures about revenue to help investors better understand the nature, amount, timing
and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers, and improves the comparability of revenue
from contracts with customers. The standard permits either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for
the adoption.

Being a first time adopter in 2018, the Company has applied IFRS 15 retrospectively from the earliest presented period,
which is 1 January 2017 (the date of transition to IFRSs as endorsed in KSA) and used certain practical expedients (as
listed below).

The Company has applied following practical expedients:


—— The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of significant financing
component where period between delivery of promised services and payment from customer is one year or less.
—— For periods before the date of initial application, the Company does not provide disclosures for remaining
performance obligations.
—— The Company does not disclose the amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance
obligations and an explanation of when the entity expects to recognize that amount as revenue for periods prior
to the date of transition to IFRSs as endorsed in KSA.
The Company recognizes revenue as and when customer receives and consumes the services provided by the Company
over a period of time i.e. number of days services are provided, which is in line with the requirements of IFRS 15.
Accordingly, there is no material effect of adopting IFRS 15 on the recognition of revenue of the Company.

Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on
behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when the services are rendered to customers. Contract revenues
are recognized based on manpower services provided to the customers (the services represent the performance obligation
of the contract) over the terms of these agreements.

Variable consideration
If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount of consideration
to which the Company is entitled in exchange for transferring the promised services to a customer.

Significant financing component


The Company adjusts the promised amount of consideration, if any, for the time value of money if the contract contains
a significant financing component.

Measuring progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation


For revenue streams, the performance obligation (rendering of services) is satisfied either point in time or over time.
There was no restatement due to this change as the Company’s policy is already in line with the requirements of IFRS 15.

Revenue recognition (continued)

Contract costs
Contract costs are recognized as an expense unless the Company has a reasonable expectation to recover these costs from
its customers and in cases where these costs are recoverable from the customers. The Company amortize these costs
either point in time or on a systematic basis, consistent with the transfer to the customer of the services. The Company
recognizes contract costs if:
—— The costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Company can specifically identify.
—— The costs generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to
satisfy) performance obligations in the future.
—— The incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer is expected to recovered.
—— Those costs would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained or if an anticipated contracts has not
been identified by the Company.
—— The costs that directly relates to a contract (or a specific anticipated contract) includes:

a- direct labour;
b- direct materials;
c- allocation costs that directly relate to the contract or to contract activities;
d- costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer under the contract; and
e- other costs that are incurred only because the entity entered into the contract.

Contract assets and liabilities


Under IFRS 15, when either party to a contract has performed, an entity shall present the contract in the statement of
financial position as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between the entity’s performance
and the customer’s payment. A contract asset is an entity’s right to consideration in exchange for services that the entity
has transferred to a customer. A contract liability is an entity’s obligation to transfer services to a customer for which
the entity has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. There have been a
reclassification from unbilled revenues to contract assets due to this change.

Principal versus agent consideration


The Company has evaluated its arrangements to determine whether it is a principal, and report revenues on a gross basis,
or an agent, and report revenues on a net basis. In this assessment, the Company has considered if it has obtained control
of the specified services before they are transferred to the customer, as well as other indicators such as the party primarily
responsible for fulfilment, inventory risk and discretion in establishing price. The Company has concluded that they are
principal in all revenue arrangements. There was no restatement due to this change as the Company’s policy is already
in line with the requirements of IFRS 15.

Presentation and disclosure requirements


As required for the financial statements, the Company disaggregated revenue recognized from contracts with customers
into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by
economic factors. Refer to note (6) for the disclosure on disaggregated revenue.

The Company recognizes revenue from the following major sources:


—— Sale of computer equipment and hardware
—— Sale of software licenses
—— Hardware maintenance services
—— Software license support
—— Supply of manpower

Revenue recognition (continued)

Sale of computer equipment and hardware


The Company supplies computer equipment and hardware to Government and Private sector customers in the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia. Warranties associated with the sale of computer equipment and hardware are provided by principal
vendors.

Revenue is recognised when control of the equipment has transferred, generally on delivery of the equipment.

Sale of software license


Revenue from software license sales is recognized when the company transfers the control of services to a customer.
Accordingly, the revenue from license sale is recognized at a point in time.

Hardware maintenance services


Hardware maintenance service is considered to be a distinct service as it is regularly supplied by the Company to other
customers on a standalone basis and is available for customers from other providers in the market. Revenue relating to
the maintenance services is recognised over time.

Software license support


The Company provides various software installation and other support services for specialized business operations.
Revenue from software license support is recognized over time.

Supply of manpower
The Company provides technical manpower to support customers in implementing various IT projects. Revenue from
supply of manpower is recognized over time.

Other income
Other income is recognized when earned.

Costs and expenses


Costs which are directly related to goods or services provided are classified as direct cost. Expenses which are attributable
to marketing and promotional activities are classified as marketing expenses. All other indirect expenses are classified
as general and administration expenses.

Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the
inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of
a specific asset (or assets) and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that asset is not explicitly
specified in an arrangement.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards
of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. The Company does not have any finance
leases.

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another
systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

Employee benefits

Employee defined benefit liabilities


The employee defined benefit liability is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations
being carried out at the end of each reporting period. Remeasurements, comprising actuarial gains and losses, are
reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a corresponding debit charge or credit recognized
in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements recognized in other income are
reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. Changes
in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized
immediately in profit or loss as past service costs. Interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of
the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:
—— service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and
settlements);
—— interest expense; and
—— remeasurements
The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in relevant line items.

Short-term employee benefits


A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, air tickets and
sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees
render the related service. The liability is recorded at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in
exchange for that service.

Retirement benefits
Retirement benefits made to defined contribution plans are expensed when incurred.

Zakat
The Company is subject to zakat in accordance with the regulations of the General Authority of Zakat and Income Tax
(“GAZT”), and the provision is charged to the statement of comprehensive income. Zakat are provided on an accrual
basis. The zakat charge is computed on the higher of zakat base or adjusted net income. Any difference in the estimate is
recorded when the final assessment is approved.

Property and equipment


Property and equipment, except land and capital work-in-progress are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses, if any. Land and capital work-in-progress are stated at cost less impairment in value, if
any.

Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. Subsequent costs are
included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that
the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably.

Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the
straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period, with the effect of any changes accounted for on a prospective basis.

Furniture and fixtures 20%

An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to
arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property
and equipment is determined as the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and
is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognized.

Work in progress
Contract work in progress consists of material, labour and attributable overheads.

Contract work in progress is recorded at cost.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are
carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets are amortised over the useful economic life and assessment and impairment whenever there is indication
that Intangible assets may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed atlest at the
end of each reporting period. Changes in expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic
benefits embodied in the assets are considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are
treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense is recognized in the statement of comprehensive
income in the expense category that is consistent with the function of the intangible assets.

An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or
disposal. Any gain or loss arising upon derecognition of an asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of comprehensive income.

The Company applies an annual rates of amortization of 20% to its intangible assets.

Impairment of non-financial assets


At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial asset to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. Assets that have indefinite useful
life, for example land, are tested annually for impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the
asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the
recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to
which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also
allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating
units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows
have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the
carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
recognized immediately in comprehensive income.

Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)


When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased
to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit)
in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.

Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to
participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those
policies.

The Company’s investment in associate is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the
investment in associate is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize
changes in Company’s share of net assets of the associate since the acquisition date.

The financial statements of the associate is prepared for the same period as the Company. Where necessary, adjustments
are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Company.

After application of equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment loss
on its investment in associates. The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence
that the investment in associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the
difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognise the loss as “share of
profit of associate” in the statement of comprehensive income.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Company measures and recognizes any retained investment at
fait value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence or joint control
and the fair value of the retaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in statement of comprehensive
income.

Dividends
The Company recognizes a liability to pay a dividend when the distribution is authorized and the distribution is no longer
at the discretion of the Company. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in statement of changes in shareholders’
equity.

Cash and cash equivalents


For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and deposits held with
banks, all of which are available for use by the Company unless otherwise stated and have maturities of three months or
less, which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in values.

Foreign currencies transactions


Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at the functional currency spot rates at the date
the transaction first qualifies for recognition.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rate of
exchange at the reporting date.

Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in statement of comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange
rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation
of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of gain or loss on change in fair value
of the item (i.e., the translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive
income or profit or loss are also recognized in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).

Financial instruments
IFRS 9 required financial assets to be classified into three measurement categories on initial recognition: those measured
at fair value through profit and loss, those measured at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) and
those measured at amortized cost. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured by default at fair value
through profit or loss. However, there is an irrevocable option to present fair value changes in OCI. Measurement and
classification of financial assets is dependent on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the
contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the IAS
39 requirements. The main change is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of
a fair value change relating to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in OCI rather than the statement of comprehensive
income, unless this creates an accounting mismatch.

IFRS 9 introduced a new three-stage expected credit loss model for calculating impairment for financial assets. IFRS
9 no longer required a triggering event to have occurred before credit losses are recognized. An entity is required
to recognize expected credit losses when financial instruments are initially recognized and to update the amount of
expected credit losses recognized at each reporting date to reflect changes in the credit risk of the financial instruments.
In addition, IFRS 9 requires additional disclosure requirements about expected credit losses and credit risk.

The standard has a mandatory effective date for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with earlier
application permitted.

Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively.

The effect of adopting IFRS 9 is disclosed in note (27) to the interim financial statements which pertains to the new
impairment requirements and reclassification of original measurement categories under IAS 39 and the new measurement
categories under IFRS 9 for each class of the Company’s financial instruments.

Financial instruments (continued)

Recognition and initial measurement


A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.

A financial instrument is recognized in the statement of financial position when the Company becomes party to the
contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

A financial instrument is measured initially at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly
attributable to its acquisition or issue.

Financial assets
Classification of financial assets

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified and measured at: amortized cost, FVOCI or FVTPL.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at
FVTPL:

a- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows;
and
b- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments
of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present
subsequent changes in fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-to-investment basis.

Financial assets (continued)

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL.
On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements
to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting
mismatch that would otherwise arise.

A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component that is initially measured at
the transaction price) is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not a FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly
attributable to its acquisition.

Subsequent measurement

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or
dividend income, are recognized in statement of comprehensive income.

Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR)
method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and
impairment losses are recognized in statement of comprehensive income. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized
in the statement of comprehensive income.

Finance income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate.

Debt investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the EIR method,
foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Other net
gains and losses are recognized in the statement of OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are
reclassified to the statement of comprehensive income

Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in the
statement of comprehensive incomeunless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
Other net gains and losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit
or loss.

Reclassifications
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except in the period after the Company
changes its business model for managing financial assets.

Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily
derecognised (i.e., removed from the Company’s statement of financial position) when: the rights to receive cash flows
from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has
assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through
arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the
Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred
control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through
arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the
Company continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the
Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis
that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

Derecognition (continued)
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the
original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to
repay.

Expected credit loss (ECL) assessment for accounts receivables and contract assets
The Company applies IFRS 9 simplified approach for measuring ECL, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance.
The method is applied for assessing an allowance against:
—— financial assets measured at amortized cost; and
—— contract assets
The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of receivables over a period of 12 months before
each reported period and corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical
loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting
the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Company has identified Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) of KSA (the country in which it renders the services) to be the most relevant factor, and accordingly
adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors. The expected credit losses on these
.financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix
Macroeconomic weighted average scenarios

The Company includes macroeconomic factor of GDP to develop scenarios with the realization of most likely outcome
using worst and best case scenarios. The scenario-based analysis incorporates forward-looking information into the
impairment estimation using multiple forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios. The estimate of expected credit losses
reflects an unbiased probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes.

Specific provision

Specific provision is recognized on customer to customer basis at every respective reporting date. The Company
recognizes specific provision against receivables from certain customers. Provisions are reversed only when the
outstanding amounts are recovered from the customers.

Write-off

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no
realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have
assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off

Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement

The Company classifies its financial liabilities, other than financial guarantees and loan commitments, as measured
at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a
derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are
recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized
cost using the EIR method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in the statement of
income. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in the statement of income.

Financial instruments (continued)

Financial liabilities (continued)


Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When
an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms,

or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as

the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective

carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

Offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial
position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle
on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments such as equity instruments designated as at FVOCI, at fair value at each
reporting date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the
transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
—— In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
—— In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to /generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the
asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are
available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable
inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized
within the fair value hierarchy, described, as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole:
—— Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
—— Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is directly or indirectly observable
—— Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company
determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Fair value measurement (continued)


The Company determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement and for non-recurring
measurement.

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets and significant liabilities. The involvement of external
valuers is decided by the Company after discussion and approval by the Company’s management. Selection criteria
include market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained. The Company
decides, after discussions with the Company’s external valuers, which valuation techniques and inputs to use for each case.
At each reporting date, the Company analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required
to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Company’s accounting policies. For this analysis, the Company verifies the
major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and
other relevant documents.

The Company also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to
determine whether the change is reasonable.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of
the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy, as explained above.

Fair value related disclosures for financial instruments that are measured at fair value or where fair values are disclosed,
are discussed in note 29.

Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event,
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to liability. The increase
in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as financial charges

Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Company:
—— that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses;
—— results of its operations are continuously analysed by management in order to make decisions related to resource
allocation and performance assessment; and
—— for which discrete financial information is available.
The Company’s operating business are organized and managed separately according to the nature of the services provided
with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products to its respective market.

For management purpose, the Company is organised into six segments, as described below:

E-Services Unit, Solutions Unit, Systems Unit, Information Security System Unit (ISSU), Networking Unit and
Operation and Maintenance Unit

Segment reporting (continued)


A geographical segment is a Company of assets, operations or entities engaged in revenue producing activities within a
particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns different from those operating in other economic
environments. The Company only operates in KSA and accordingly has no geographical segment.

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged either in providing products or services (a
business segment) or in provide which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.

5. Application of new and revised International Financial REPORTING STANDARDS


(IFRS)

5.1 Standards issued but not yet effective


The standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s
interim financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when
they become effective.

IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and it replaces IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement
contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving
the Legal Form of a Lease. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure
of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting
for finance leases under IAS 17. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of ’low-value
assets (e.g., personal computers) and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). At the
commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and an
asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). Lessees will be
required to separately recognise the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-
use asset.

Lessees will be also required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., a change in
the lease term, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine those
payments). The lessee will generally recognise the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment
to the right-of-use asset.

Lessor accounting under IFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from today’s accounting under IAS 17. Lessors will
continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in IAS 17 and distinguish between two types of
leases: operating and finance leases.

IFRS 16 also requires lessees and lessors to make more extensive disclosures than under IAS 17. IFRS 16 is effective
for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early application is permitted. A lessee can choose to apply
the standard using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The standard’s transition provisions
permit certain reliefs.

The Company plans to adopt IFRS 16 from 1 January 2019 and is in the process of detailed impact assessment.

27.11 (a) IFRS adjustments and correction of prior year errors

A- Discounting of long term trade receivable and contract assets


The Company has accounts receivable and contract assets for which cash inflow is above one year and which are
discounted to present value.

Al Moammar Information Systems Company
(A Saudi Closed Joint Stock Company)
NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

27. FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF IFRS AS ENDORSED IN KSA (continued)

B- Actuarial valuation of employees’ benefits


Under IFRSs as endorsed in KSA, employees’ end-of-service benefits are required to be calculated using actuarial
valuations. Historically, the Company has calculated these obligations based on the local regulations in KSA at the
reporting date without considering expected future service periods of employees, salary increments and discount rates.
The effect of this change is a decrease in equity and a decrease in the profit. The actuarial gain resulting from the
remeasurement of the employee defined benefit liabilities has been recorded in other comprehensive loss in accordance
with the requirements of IAS 19.

C- Financial instruments
Additional provision of expect credit losses is mainly due to adopting IFRS 9 on the interim financial statements of the
Company pertaining to the effect of replacing IAS 39’s incurred credit loss calculations with IFRS 9’s ECL model.

D- Prior year errors


During the period, the Company noted errors in the prior year amounts pertaining to revenue recognition and related
direct cost. The management was able to quantify the impact of misstatements on the prior year financial statements;
accordingly, the Company has rectified such misstatements and restated previous years amounts.

27.11 (b) Reclassification


—— Reclassification of prepayments and other receivables to trade and other receivables to align with the presentation
requirements.
—— Reclassification of accrued expenses and liabilities to trade and other payables to align with the presentation
requirements.
—— Reclassification of trade payables to amounts due from / to related to align with the presentation requirements.

28. FINANCIAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

Financial risk management objectives and policies


The Company’s objective in managing risk is the creation and protection of shareholder value. Risk is inherent in the
Company’s activities, but it is managed through a process of ongoing identification, measurement and monitoring, subject
to risk limits and other controls. The process of risk management is critical to the Company’s continuing profitability.
The Company is exposed to market risk (which includes interest rate risk, currency risk and price risk), liquidity risk,
credit risk and investment holding period risk arising from the financial instruments it holds.

Risk management structure


The Company’s senior management is responsible for identifying and controlling risks.

Risk measurement and reporting system


The Company’s risks are measured using a method that reflects both the expected loss likely to arise in normal
circumstances and unexpected losses that are an estimate of the ultimate actual loss based on statistical models. The
models make use of the probabilities derived from historical experience, adjusted to reflect the economic environment.

Monitoring and controlling risks is primarily set up to be performed based on limits established by the Board of
Directors. These limits reflect the business strategy, including the risk that the Company is willing to accept and the
market environment of the Company. In addition, the Company monitors and measures the overall risk in relation to the
aggregate risk exposure across all risks type and activities.

28. FINANCIAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued

Risk mitigation
The Company has investment guidelines that set out its overall business strategies, its tolerance for risk and its general
risk management philosophy.

It is the Company’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken.

Capital management
The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains healthy capital ratios in order to
support its business and maximize shareholder value. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments
to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust
the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or
issue new shares.

The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The
Company includes within net debt: short term loans, trade and other payables less cash and cash equivalents.

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that
it meets financial covenants attached to the borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting
the financial covenants may lead to call-back of facilities. There have been no breaches of the financial covenants of any
short term borrowings in the current period. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing
capital during the period and year ended 30 June 2018 and 31 December 2017.

Market risk
The company was exposed to market risk, in the form of interest rate risk as described below. There were no changes in
these circumstances from the previous period.

28. FINANCIAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)

Foreign currency risk management


The company did not have any significant foreign currency denominated monetary assets or liabilities at the reporting
date for which it was exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. Consequently, no foreign currency sensitivity analysis
has been presented.

Interest rate and liquidity risks management


Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an
appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short, medium and long-term
funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves,
banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by
matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis


The sensitivity analysis has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments
at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the
liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole period. A 50 basis point increase or
decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s
assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s profit
for the period would have decreased or increased by SR 1,065,749 (31 December 2017: SR 895,518). The Company’s
exposure to interest rates has decreased during the period as a result of a decrease in interest-bearing borrowings.

The following tables detail the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with
agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities
based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal
cash flows:

28. FINANCIAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)

Credit risk management


Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss
to the Company. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking into account any collateral held or
other credit enhancements, which will cause a financial loss to the Company due to failure to discharge an obligation
by the counterparties arises from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the
statement of financial position. The Company performs credit-vetting procedures which are reviewed and updated on
an ongoing basis before granting credit to its customers. Note 16 details the Company’s maximum exposure to credit
risk for financial assets that are not cash and cash equivalents. The Company does not hold any collateral or other credit
enhancements to cover its credit risks associated with its financial assets.

Credit approvals and other monitoring procedures are also in place to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover
overdue debts. Furthermore, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of each trade receivable on an individual
basis at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate loss allowance is made for irrecoverable amounts. In this
regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Company’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial
condition of accounts receivable.

The Company did not have any trade receivables at the reporting date which individually comprised more than 10% of
the trade receivables balance. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customer base is large
and unrelated.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings.

29. FAIR VALUES


The Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. The Company has not disclosed
the fair value for financial instruments such as short term trade and other receivables, due from related parties, trade
payables and other payables, due to related parties and cash and short term deposits, because their carrying amounts are
a reasonable approximation of fair values largely because of short term maturity of these instruments. Set out below is
a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, other than those
carrying amounts that are reasonable approximations of fair value:

2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Short term bank deposits


Short term bank deposits are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and have a maturity of more than three
months but less than one year when purchased.

Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance
for impairment is made when collection of the amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.

Unbilled receivables
Unbilled receivables comprise of the value of work executed by the Company during the year but not yet billed as at the
year end. These amounts will be billed in the subsequent period.

Investments in associates
The Company’s investments in associates are accounted for using equity method of accounting. An associate is an
entity in which the Company has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. Under
the equity method, the investment in an associate is carried in the balance sheet at cost adjusted by the changes in the
Company’s share of net assets of the associate. The statement of income reflects the share of the results of operation of
the associates. Where there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Company recognizes
its share of any change and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. Profits
and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associates are eliminated to the extent of interest
in an associate.

Available for sale investments


These investments represents unquoted shares which are bought not with the intention of trading purposes and are stated
at fair value. Changes in fair value are credited or charged to the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. Where
there is an objective evidence that investments may be impaired, the estimated recoverable amount of those investments
is determined and any impairment loss for the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount is
recognised in the statement of income. In assessing impairment, expected future cash flows and other factors are taken
into consideration.

Where partial holdings are sold, the related carrying values of such investments are accounted for on a weighted average
basis.

Property and equipment


Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost and are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
impairment in value.

Expenditure for repair and maintenance are charged to the income as incurred. Improvements that increase the value or
materially extend the life of the related assets are capitalized.

Depreciation is charged to the statement of income over the estimated useful life of the applicable asset using straight
line method. The estimated rate of depreciation of the principal classes of assets are as follows:

Equipment 20%

Motor vehicles 20%

Furniture and fixtures 20%

2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Intangible assets
Intangible asset is measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible asset with identifiable
life is carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses and is amortized on
a straight line basis over the useful economic life. Intangible asset represents accounting softwares purchased by the
company. These are amortized using straight line method over a period of 5 years.

Accounts payable and accruals


Liabilities are recognized for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to
the Company.

Provisions
Provision is recognized when the Company has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the
costs to settle the obligation are both probable and can be measured reliably.

Loans and borrowings


Loans and borrowings are recognized at the proceeds value received by the Company.

Employees’ terminal benefits


Provision is made for amounts payable under the Saudi Arabian labour law applicable to employees’ accumulated
periods of service at the balance sheet date.

Statutory reserve
In accordance with the Saudi Arabian Regulations for Companies and the Company’s By-laws, the Company must
transfer 10% of its annual net income to the statutory reserve until it reaches 50% of the share capital. This having been
achieved, the Company decided to discontinue such transfer. The reserve is not available for distribution.

Zakat
Zakat is provided for in accordance with Saudi Arabian fiscal regulations. The provision is charged to the statement of
income.

Revenue recognition
Revenue on contracts, where the outcome can be estimated reliably, is recognized under the percentage-of-completion
method by reference to the stage of completion of its contract activity. The stage of completion is measured by calculating
the proportion of work performed to date as a proportion of the total work to be performed. The management of the
Company considers the completion of the physical proportion of the contract work performed as the most appropriate
measure of the percentage-of-completion in arriving at the profit of a contract to be recognized for the year.

Revenues from sale of computer hardware and software licenses are recognized upon delivery. Revenue are shown net
of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates.

Revenues from support service contracts are recognized on a pro-rata basis over the period of the contract.

Foreign currencies

Foreign currency translations


Financial statements of foreign operations are translated into Saudi Riyals using the exchange rate at each balance sheet
date, for assets and liabilities, and the average exchange rate for each period for revenues, expenses, gains and losses.
Components of equity, other than retained earnings, are translated at the rate ruling at the date of occurrence of each
component. Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Expenses
Selling and distribution expenses are those that specifically relate to salesmen and sales department. All other expenses
are allocated on a consistent basis to cost of sales and general and administration expenses in accordance with allocation
basis determined as appropriate by the Company.

Impairment and un-collectability of financial assets


An assessment is made at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a specific
financial asset may be impaired. If such evidence exists, any impairment loss is recognized in the statement of income.
Impairment is determined as follows:

a- For assets carried at fair value, impairment is the difference between cost and fair value, less any impairment
loss previously recognized in the statement of income;
b- For assets carried at cost, impairment is the difference between carrying value and the present value of
future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset;
c- For assets carried at amortized cost, impairment is the difference between carrying amount and the present
value of future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Dividends
Interim dividends are recorded as and when declared and approved by the Board of Directors. Annual final dividends
are recognized as a liability at the time of their approval by the General Assembly, after recommendation by the Board
of Directors.

Segment reporting
A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged either in providing products or services
(a business segment) or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (a geographic
segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. Because the Company
carries out most of its activities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, reporting is provided by business segment only.

22- RISK MANAGEMENT

Commission rate risk


Commission rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in the market
commission rates. The Company is subject to commission rate risk on its commission bearing short term bank deposits
and loans. The Company manages its exposure to commission rate risk by continuously monitoring movements in
commission rates.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party will fail to discharge an obligation and will cause the other party to incur a financial
loss. The Company seeks to manage its credit risk with respect to banks by only dealing with reputable banks and with
respect to customers by setting credit limits for individual customers, monitoring outstanding receivables and ensuring
close follow-ups.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated
with financial instruments. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at an amount close
to its fair value. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring that bank facilities are available. The Company’s
terms of sales require amounts to be paid within 30 to 60 days of the date of sale. Trade payables are normally settled
within 30 to 60 days of the date of purchase.

Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Company is subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in the normal course of its business. The Company
did not undertake significant transactions in currencies other than Saudi Riyals and US Dollars, during the year. As the
Saudi Riyal is pegged to the US Dollar, balances in US Dollars are not considered to represent significant currency risk.

23- FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled between knowledgeable willing
parties in an arm’s length transaction. Financial instruments comprise of financial assets and financial liabilities.

The Company’s financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and investments held for trading. Its
financial liabilities consist of loans and borrowings and payables.

The fair values of financial instruments are not materially different from their carrying values at the balance sheet date.

24- KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Impairment of accounts receivable


An estimate of the collectible amount of accounts receivable is made when collection of the full amount is no longer
probable. For individually significant amounts, this estimation is performed on an individual basis. Amounts which are
not individually significant, but which are past due, are assessed collectively and a provision applied according to the
length of time past due, based on historical recovery rates. Any difference between the amounts actually collected in
future periods and the amounts expected will be recognized in the statement of income.

Useful lives of property and equipment


The Company’s management determines the estimated useful lives of its property and equipment for calculating
depreciation. This estimate is determined after considering the expected usage of the asset or physical wear and tear.

Management reviews the useful lives annually and future depreciation charge would be adjusted where the management
believes the useful lives differ from previous estimates.

25- APPROVAL OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors on 22 Rajab 1439 H, (corresponding to 8 April
2018).

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia. The significant accounting policies adopted are as follows:

Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention except for the measurement at fair value of
investments in securities held for trading.

Use of estimate
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Although these estimates and judgments are based on management’s best knowledge of current events
and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.

Cash and bank balances


For the purposes of the statement of cash flow, cash and cash equivalents consists of bank balances, and investments
that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and have a maturity of three months or less when purchased.

Short term bank deposits


Short term bank deposits are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and have a maturity of more than three
months but less than one year when purchased.

Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance
for impairment is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.

2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Unbilled receivables
Unbilled receivables comprise of the value of work executed by the Company during the year but not yet billed as at the
year end. These amounts will be billed in the subsequent period.

Investments in associates
The Company’s investments in associates are accounted for using equity method of accounting. An associate is an
entity in which the Company has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. Under
the equity method, the investment in an associate is carried in the balance sheet at cost adjusted by the changes in the
Company’s share of net assets of the associate. The statement of income reflects the share of the results of operation of
the associates. Where there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Company recognizes
its share of any change and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. Profits
and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associates are eliminated to the extent of interest
in an associate.

Investments held for trading


Investments which are bought with the intention of resale in the short term are classified as trading investments. Such
investments are measured and carried in the balance sheet at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are included in the
income for the financial period.

Available for sale investments


These investments represents unquoted shares which are bought not with the intention of trading purposes and are stated
at fair value. Changes in fair value are credited or charged to the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. Where
there is an objective evidence that investments may be impaired, the estimated recoverable amount of those investments
is determined and any impairment loss for the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount is
recognised in the statement of income. In assessing impairment, expected future cash flows and other factors are taken
into consideration.

Where partial holdings are sold, the related carrying values of such investments are accounted for on a weighted average
basis.

Property and equipment


Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost and are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
impairment in value.

Expenditure for repair and maintenance are charged to the income as incurred. Improvements that increase the value or
materially extend the life of the related assets are capitalized.

Depreciation is charged to the statement of income over the estimated useful life of the applicable asset using straight
line method. The estimated rate of depreciation of the principal classes of assets are as follows:

Equipment 20%

Motor vehicles 20%

Furniture and fixtures 20%

2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Intangible assets
Intangible asset is measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible asset with identifiable
life is carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses and is amortized on
a straight line basis over the useful economic life. Intangible asset represents accounting softwares purchased by the
company. These are amortized using straight line method over a period of 5 years.

Accounts payable and accruals


Liabilities are recognized for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to
the Company.

Provisions
Provision is recognized when the Company has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the
costs to settle the obligation are both probable and can be measured reliably.

Loans and borrowings


Loans and borrowings are recognized at the proceeds value received by the Company. Financial charges are recorded in
the statement of income.

Employees’ terminal benefits


Provision is made for amounts payable under the Saudi Arabian labour law applicable to employees’ accumulated
periods of service at the balance sheet date.

Statutory reserve
In accordance with the Saudi Arabian Regulations for Companies, the Company must transfer 10% of its annual net
income to the statutory reserve until it reaches 50% of the share capital. This having been achieved, the Company
decided to discontinue such transfer. The reserve is not available for distribution.

Zakat
Zakat is provided for in accordance with Saudi Arabian fiscal regulations. The provision is charged to the statement of
income.

Revenue recognition
Revenue on contracts, where the outcome can be estimated reliably, is recognized under the percentage-of-completion
method by reference to the stage of completion of its contract activity. The stage of completion is measured by calculating
the proportion of work performed to date as a proportion of the total work to be performed. The management of the
Company consider the completion of the physical proportion of the contract work performed as the most appropriate
measure of the percentage-of-completion in arriving at the profit to be recognized for the year.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contract represent revenues recognized in excess of
amounts billed.

Billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts represents billings issued in excess of
revenues earned.

Revenues from sale of computer hardware and software licenses are recognized upon delivery. Revenue are shown net
of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates.

Revenues from support service contracts are recognized on a pro-rata basis over the period of the contract.

Foreign currencies

Foreign currency translations


Financial statements of foreign operations are translated into Saudi Riyals using the exchange rate at each balance sheet
date, for assets and liabilities, and the average exchange rate for each period for revenues, expenses, gains and losses.
Components of equity, other than retained earnings, are translated at the rate ruling at the date of occurrence of each
component. Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Expenses
Selling and distribution expenses are those that specifically relate to salesmen and sales department. All other expenses
are allocated on a consistent basis to cost of sales and general and administration expenses in accordance with allocation
factors determined as appropriate by the Company.

Impairment and un-collectability of financial assets


An assessment is made at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a specific
financial asset may be impaired. If such evidence exists, any impairment loss is recognized in the statement of income.
Impairment is determined as follows:

For assets carried at fair value, impairment is the difference between cost and fair value, less any impairment loss
previously recognized in the statement of income;

For assets carried at cost, impairment is the difference between carrying value and the present value of future cash flows
discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset;

For assets carried at amortized cost, impairment is the difference between carrying amount and the present value of
future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Dividends
Interim dividends are recorded as and when declared and approved by the Board of Directors. Annual final dividends are
recognized as a liability at the time of their approval by the General Assembly.

Segment reporting
A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged either in providing products or services
(a business segment) or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (a geographic
segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. Because the Company
carries out most of its activities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, reporting is provided by business segment only.

23- RISK MANAGEMENT

Commission rate risk


Commission rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in the market
commission rates. The Company is subject to commission rate risk on its commission bearing short term bank deposits
and loans. The Company manages its exposure to commission rate risk by continuously monitoring movements in
commission rates.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party will fail to discharge an obligation and will cause the other party to incur a financial
loss. The Company seeks to manage its credit risk with respect to banks by only dealing with reputable banks and with
respect to customers by setting credit limits for individual customers, monitoring outstanding receivables and ensuring
close follow-ups.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated
with financial instruments. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at an amount close
to its fair value. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring that bank facilities are available. The Company’s
terms of sales require amounts to be paid within 30 to 60 days of the date of sale. Trade payables are normally settled
within 30 to 60 days of the date of purchase.

Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Company is subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in the normal course of its business. The Company
did not undertake significant transactions in currencies other than Saudi Riyals and US Dollars, during the year. As the
Saudi Riyal is pegged to the US Dollar, balances in US Dollars are not considered to represent significant currency risk.

24- FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled between knowledgeable willing
parties in an arm’s length transaction. Financial instruments comprise of financial assets and financial liabilities.

The Company’s financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and investments held for trading. Its

25- KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Impairment of accounts receivable


An estimate of the collectible amount of accounts receivable is made when collection of the full amount is no longer
probable. For individually significant amounts, this estimation is performed on an individual basis. Amounts which are
not individually significant, but which are past due, are assessed collectively and a provision applied according to the
length of time past due, based on historical recovery rates. Any difference between the amounts actually collected in
future periods and the amounts expected will be recognized in the statement of income.

Useful lives of property and equipment


The Company’s management determines the estimated useful lives of its property and equipment for calculating
depreciation. This estimate is determined after considering the expected usage of the asset or physical wear and tear.

Management reviews the useful lives annually and future depreciation charge would be adjusted where the management
believes the useful lives differ from previous estimates.

26- APPROVAL OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors on 27 Jumada Al-Thani 1438H (corresponding

2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia. The significant accounting policies adopted are as follows:

Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention except for the measurement at fair value of
investments in securities held for trading.

Use of estimate
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Although these estimates and judgments are based on management’s best knowledge of current events
and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents


For the purposes of the statement of cash flow, cash and cash equivalents consists of bank balances, cash on hand, and
investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and have a maturity of three months or less when
purchased.

Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance
for impairment is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.

Unbilled receivables

year end. These amounts will be billed in the subsequent period.

2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Investments held for trading


Investments which are bought with the intention of resale in the short term are classified as trading investments. Such
investments are measured and carried in the balance sheet at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are included in the
income for the financial period.

Property and equipment


Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost and are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
impairment in value.

Expenditure for repair and maintenance are charged to the income as incurred. Improvements that increase the value or
materially extend the life of the related assets are capitalized.

Depreciation is charged to the statement of income over the estimated useful life of the applicable asset using straight
line method . The estimated rate of depreciation of the principal classes of assets are as follows :

Equipment 20%

Motor vehicles 20%

Furniture and fixtures 20%

Investments in an associates
The Company’s investments in associates are accounted for using equity method of accounting. An associate is an
entity in which the Company has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. Under
the equity method, the investment in an associate is carried in the balance sheet at cost adjusted by the changes in the
Company’s share of net assets of the associate. The statement of income reflects the share of the results of operation of
the associates. Where there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Company recognizes
its share of any change and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. Profits
and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associates are eliminated to the extent of interest
in an associate.

Intangible assets
Intangible asset is measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible asset with identifiable
life is carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses and is amortized on
a straight line basis over the useful economic life. Intangible asset represents accounting softwares purchased by the
company. These are amortized using straight line method over a period of 5 years.

Loans and borrowings


Loans and borrowings are recognized at the proceeds value received by the Company. Financial charges are recorded in
the statement of income.

Accounts payable and accruals


Liabilities are recognized for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to
the Company.

Zakat
Zakat is provided for in accordance with Saudi Arabian fiscal regulations. The provision is charged to the statement of
income.

2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Provisions
Provision is recognized when the Company has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the
costs to settle the obligation are both probable and can be measured reliably.

Employees’ terminal benefits


Provision is made for amounts payable under the Saudi Arabian labour law applicable to employees’ accumulated
periods of service at the balance sheet date.

Statutory reserve
In accordance with the Saudi Arabian Regulations for Companies, the Company must transfer 10% of its annual net
income to the statutory reserve until it reaches 50% of the share capital. This having been achieved, the Company
decided to discontinue such transfer. The reserve is not available for distribution.

Revenue recognition
Revenue on contracts, where the outcome can be estimated reliably, is recognized under the percentage-of-completion
method by reference to the stage of completion of its contract activity. The stage of completion is measured by calculating
the proportion of work performed to date as a proportion of the total work to be performed. The management of the
Company consider the completion of the physical proportion of the contract work performed as the most appropriate
measure of the percentage-of-completion in arriving at the profit to be recognized for the year.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contract represent revenues recognized in excess of
amounts billed.

Billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts represents billings issued in excess of
revenues earned.

Revenues from sale of computer hardware and software licenses are recognized upon delivery. Revenue are shown net
of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates.

Revenues from support service contracts are recognized on a pro-rata basis over the period of the contract.

Expenses
Selling and distribution expenses are those that specifically relate to salesmen and sales department. All other expenses
are allocated on a consistent basis to cost of sales and general and administration expenses in accordance with allocation
factors determined as appropriate by the Company.

Foreign currencies

Foreign currency translations


Financial statements of foreign operations are translated into Saudi Riyals using the exchange rate at each balance sheet
date, for assets and liabilities, and the average exchange rate for each period for revenues, expenses, gains and losses.
Components of equity, other than retained earnings, are translated at the rate ruling at the date of occurrence of each
component. Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Dividends
Interim dividends are recorded as and when declared and approved by the Board of Directors. Annual final dividends are
recognized as a liability at the time of their approval by the General Assembly.

2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment and un-collectability of financial assets


An assessment is made at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a specific
financial asset may be impaired. If such evidence exists, any impairment loss is recognized in the statement of income.
Impairment is determined as follows:

a- For assets carried at fair value, impairment is the difference between cost and fair value, less any impairment
loss previously recognized in the statement of income;
b- For assets carried at cost, impairment is the difference between carrying value and the present value of
future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset;
c- For assets carried at amortized cost, impairment is the difference between carrying amount and the present
value of future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Segment reporting
A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged either in providing products or services
(a business segment) or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (a geographic
segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. Because the Company
carries out most of its activities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, reporting is provided by business segment only.

23- RISK MANAGEMENT

Commission rate risk


Commission rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in the market
commission rates. The Company is subject to commission rate risk on its commission bearing short term bank deposits
and loans. The Company manages its exposure to commission rate risk by continuously monitoring movements in
commission rates.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party will fail to discharge an obligation and will cause the other party to incur a financial
loss. The Company seeks to manage its credit risk with respect to banks by only dealing with reputable banks and with
respect to customers by setting credit limits for individual customers, monitoring outstanding receivables and ensuring
close follow-ups.

Liquidity risk

with financial instruments. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at an amount close
to its fair value. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring that bank facilities are available. The Company’s
terms of sales require amounts to be paid within 30 to 60 days of the date of sale. Trade payables are normally settled
within 30 to 60 days of the date of purchase.

The Company is subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in the normal course of its business. The Company

Saudi Riyal is pegged to the US Dollar, balances in US Dollars are not considered to represent significant currency risk.

parties in an arm’s length transaction. Financial instruments comprise of financial assets and financial liabilities.

25- KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Impairment of accounts receivable


An estimate of the collectible amount of accounts receivable is made when collection of the full amount is no longer
probable. For individually significant amounts, this estimation is performed on an individual basis. Amounts which are
not individually significant, but which are past due, are assessed collectively and a provision applied according to the
length of time past due, based on historical recovery rates. Any difference between the amounts actually collected in
future periods and the amounts expected will be recognized in the statement of income.

Useful lives of property and equipment


The Company’s management determines the estimated useful lives of its property and equipment for calculating
depreciation. This estimate is determined after considering the expected usage of the asset or physical wear and tear.

Management reviews the useful lives annually and future depreciation charge would be adjusted where the management
believes the useful lives differ from previous estimates.

26- COMPARATIVE FIGURES


Certain of the prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the presentation in the current year.

27- APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 7 Rajab 1437H (corresponding to 14 April 2016).
