A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. ConclusionBased on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying 31 March 2017 interim financial statements is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the generally accepted accounting standards in Saudi Arabia issued by the Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants (SOCPA).Emphasis of matterWe draw attention to Note 2(b) to the accompanying interim financial statements; as at 31 March 2017, the Companys current liabilities exceeded its current assets and the accumulated losses approximate to 78.34% of the Companys share capital.
