| Reasons of annual financial results |
The increase in net loss after zakat and tax is due to decrease in gross income and loss from main operations resulting mainly from the decrease in gross income from sales in subsidiaries, loss in income from investments, and increase in the financial charges. Moreover, the same period from last year included income from transfer of investment as additional investments contribution while this is not the case for the current year. |
