1) As disclosed in note 11 to the accompanying interim condensed financial information, all reinsurance treaties up to the underwriting year 2014 were managed by the Medgulf Group Corporate Reinsurance Center (“CRC”), a related party, who dealt with the Company’s transactions, along with those of other related parties, on a consolidated basis with the reinsurers and brokers. All transactions with reinsurers and brokers were routed through CRC and the settlement of balances with these reinsurers and brokers were also made by CRC. The Company, together with CRC, have now initiated an exercise to separate the Company’s transactions and balances with the respective reinsurers and brokers from those of other related parties. This exercise is still on-going and on completion certain parties included in the policyholders’ and reinsurance balances receivable under note 7 amounting to Saudi Riyals 115.9 million may be identified as receivable from related parties and therefore may need to be disclosed under due from related parties. The underlying transactions with such related parties will then also require disclosure under related party transactions. Accordingly, management is currently unable to provide a complete list of all related parties balances and transactions which impacts both the presentation and disclosure of related party balances and transactions. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to the presentation and disclosure of the related party balances and transactions were necessary in the accompanying interim condensed financial information.

2) As disclosed in note 3, the Company is accounting for its reinsurance transactions related to the general line of business based on their understanding of the contractual terms of the reinsurance agreements. However, such accounting of reinsurance transactions may be subject to different interpretations. As a result, the Company’s interim condensed financial information may require adjustments, if the terms of reinsurance agreements are interpreted differently. Management is still securing clarity on the terms of the reinsurance agreements. In the absence of information in this regard, we were unable to determine whether adjustments would be required in the accompanying interim condensed financial information.
