| Additional Information | ACCUMULATED LOSSES EXCEED 35% OF SHARE CAPITAL:
The accumulated losses, as of 30 June 2021, amounted to SR 3.027 billion, which exceed 35% of the Company’s capital amounting to SR 8.50 billion.
The main causes of these accumulated losses are as follows:
Under Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants (SOCPA) accounting framework, EEC had a positive retained earning balance of SR 16.8M as at 31 Dec 2015. During 2017, SOCPA made it mandatory for listed companies to adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) retrospectively with effect from 01 Jan 2016. Due to the switch from SOCPA accounting framework to IFRS, positive retained earnings got converted into accumulated losses of SR 1.4B as of 01 Jan 2016, mainly due to change in impairment testing methodology of operating assets and change in revenue recognition policy. However, part of the accumulated losses pertaining to revenue recognition were reversed in subsequent periods in line with the projects progress. In addition to this, during 2019, the IFRS Interpretation committee published an agenda decision “Over Time Transfer of Constructed Good - IAS 23 Borrowing Costs” which states that under construction inventories of real estate properties are not qualifying assets for capitalization of borrowing costs as these are ready for its intended sale in its current condition. Accordingly, capitalized borrowing costs pertaining to development properties (inventories), amounting to SR 252M, as of 31 December 2019, had been offloaded and charged to accumulated losses. Furthermore, the prevailing COVID 19 situation has resulted in impairment of development properties and assets pertaining to operations, amounting to SR 138M and SR 178M respectively, which had been recognized in the books of accounts as of 31 December 2020. In addition to this, financial charges pertaining to outstanding loans, losses related to financial assets being at infancy stage and depreciation, operations and maintenance of city infrastructure are other major contributors to the accumulated losses of the company as at June 30, 2021.
The company will implement the procedures and instructions issued by the Capital Market Authority for companies listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange, whose accumulated losses amounted to more than 35% of its share capital. |
