Element EXPLAINATION
Reasons of increase (decrease) for quarter compared with same quarter last year The reason for recording net loss during the current quarter comparing to a net profit for the same quarter of last year is due to the decrease in sales volume because of the delay in some deliveries from EPC customers during the current quarter.
Reasons of increase (decrease) for period compared with same period last year The reason for recording net loss during the twelve months comparing to a net profit for the same period of last year is due to:
1- The decrease of instrumentation cables sales volume due to the postponement of some orders from EPC customers which was partially offsetted by an increase in power cables sales that has less profit margins.
2- Recording additional doubtful debt provision during the current period.
3- Recording a capital gain from sale of land during the same period of last year.
