Reason for increase (decrease) in net profit for current quarter compared to the previous quarter The net loss of SR 10.17 million in Q2 2019, as compared to a net profit of SR 0.32 million in Q1 2019 is due to the following main reasons:

(c) Impairment charges for trade receivable of SR 0.59 million in current quarter compared to a reversal of SR 0.63 million in Q1 2019.

Reason for increase (decrease) in net profit for current period compared to the similar period of the previous year The net loss of SR 9.84 million in current period, as compared to a net loss of SR 41.86 million in H1 2018 is due to the following main reasons:

(a) Non-recurring fixed assets impairment charges of SR 21 million accounted for in H1 2018.

(b) Share of profit in an associate company (Global Pipe Company) for current period amounting to SR 4.81 million compared to a share of loss for H1 2018 of SR 8.02 million.
