Statement of the type of external auditor's report | Unmodified conclusion |
Comment mentioned in the external auditor’s report, mentioned in any of the following paragraphs (other matter, conservation, notice, disclaimer of opinion, or adverse opinion) | Emphasis of Matter:
We draw attention to Note 3 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Group has incurred a net loss of SR 42.4 million for the period ended 31 March 2025 and, as of that date, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by SR 187.2 million. These events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 3, indicate that material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Group to continue its operations is dependent on the completion of a rights issue that is expected to be completed in 2025 and on the restructuring of certain of the Group’s financing facilities. The Parent Company has assessed that these will be achieved in the current year and has accordingly prepared these interim condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. |
Reclassification of Comparison Items | N/A |
Additional Information | Additionally, following the negative impact of the two acquisition transactions on the company’s results, the Group’s Board of Directors is re-evaluating the investment to develop a corrective plan that ensures the continuity and growth of Chemanol’s operations in line with the established strategy |
