The Management estimated that the application of the new standards and amendments has no significant impact on the Group’s consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2023.
2.5 Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions 
The preparation of the consolidated Financial Statements requires Management to make judgment, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of making the judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those on which the estimates were based.
The estimates and underlying assumptions have been reviewed on an ongoing basis and adjustments to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the adjustment affects only that period, or in the period of the adjustment and future periods if the adjustment affects both current and future periods.
The Group bases its assumptions and estimates on information available when preparing the consolidated financial statements. The assumptions and current conditions of future developments, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in assumptions when they occur.
Employees’ Benefits
Employees’ benefits cost and present value of the liability is determined using an actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions which may differ from actual developments in the future. Such assumptions include determination of discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates.
Due to the complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The discount rate is the factor most subject to changes and when determining the appropriate discount rate, the Management considers the interest rates of corporate bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the end-of-service benefits obligation with at least an ‘AAA’ rating or above, as set by an internationally acknowledged rating agency to correspond with the expected term of the defined benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for specific countries. Those mortality tables tend to change only at intervals in response to demographic changes and future salary increases are based on expected future inflation rates for respective countries.
Provision for Expected Credit Loss (ECLs) on Accounts Receivable
The Group uses a model in estimating lifetime ECLs that have not been credit-impaired or credit-impaired based on a change in the credit risk associated with the financial instrument.
Trade receivables are combined based on the common credit risk characteristics and the days in which they are due to measure the ECLs. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic activity indicators affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.
Lease’s Discount Rate
The Management of the Group uses estimates in determining the incremental borrowing rate in computing the present value of minimum lease payments, as well as the expected lease term in the event of extension options.
Revenue Recognition
Whether revenue is recognised over time or at a point in time, revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it transfers control over a good or service to a customer.
Impairment Test of Intangible Assets and Goodwill
key assumptions underlying recoverable amounts, including the recoverability of development costs;

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group ‘controls’ is an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Financial Statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated Financial Statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
3. Material Accounting Polices
The Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these Financial Statements, except if mentioned otherwise.
In addition, the Group adopted the Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) from 1 January 2023. The amendments require the disclosure of ‘material’ rather than ‘significant’ accounting policies. Although the amendments did not result in any changes to the accounting policies themselves, they impacted the accounting policy information disclosed in certain instances.
(a) Basis of Consolidation
a.1 Business Combinations
The Group accounts for business commotions under the acquisition method when the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Group. In determining whether a particular set of activities and assets is a business, the Group assesses whether the set of assets and activities acquired includes, at a minimum, an input and substantive process and whether the acquired set has the ability to produce outputs.
The Group has an option to apply a ‘concentration test’ that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The optional concentrations test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets.
The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognized in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognized in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent change in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in profit or loss.
If share- based payment awards (replacement awards} are required to be exchanged for awards held by the acquiree’s employees (acquiree’s awards), then all or a portion of the amount of the acquirer's replacement awards is included in measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination. This determination is based on the market-based measure of the replacement awards compared with the market-based measure of the acquiree’s awards and the extent to which the replacement awards relate to pre-combination service.
a.2 Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group ‘controls’ an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Financial Statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated Financial Statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
a.3 Non-controlling Interests
NCI are measured initially at their proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.
Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
a.4 Loss of Control
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other components of equity. any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.
(b) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of an asset. Finance costs on borrowings to finance the construction of the assets are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the item of property and equipment. All other expenditures are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss when incurred.
Depreciation is charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of individual item of property and equipment. The estimated useful lives of assets will be depreciated as follows:
Years | |
Tools and instruments | 4 |
Computers | 4 |
Furniture and fixtures | 4 |
Electric equipment | 4 |
Central kitchens | 10 |
Decorations and leasehold improvements | 10 |
Motor vehicles | 4 |
Depreciation methods, rates and residual values are reviewed annually and are adjusted if the current method and the estimated useful life or the residual value is different from the estimated in past. The effect of such changes is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss prospectively.
Major renovations and improvements are capitalized if they extend the productivity or the operating useful life of the property and equipment.
Minor repairs and improvements are charged as expenses when incurred. Gains or losses resulting from disposal of property and equipment, which represent the difference between proceeds from sale and the carrying amount of assets, are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
(b) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is reflected in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Computers Software
Computer software licenses acquired from third parties are initially recognized at cost. Costs directly associated with the production of internally developed software, where it is probable that the software will generate future economic benefits, are recognized as intangible assets.
Capital work under development related to the development of intangible assets is stated at cost less accumulated losses, if any, and is not depreciated until the asset is available for use. Depreciation is charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and calculated using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of four years.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Research and Development
Expenditure on research activities is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Development expenditure is capitalised only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
(b) Inventory
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventory is determined on the basis of the first-in-first-out method. Cost includes expenses incurred in acquiring the inventory, shipping, transportation, and insurance costs, custom duties, and any other direct expenses related to the acquisition of the inventory.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of making the sale.
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, cash at banks in current accounts and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three month or less, if any, which are available to the Company without any restrictions.
(d) Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to settle a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability; or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most appropriate market for the asset or liability.
- Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities can be obtained at the measurement date.
- Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly observable (such as prices) or indirectly.
- Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable (unobservable inputs).
- It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
- It is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
- Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
- When the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire;
- The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset, or assumed an obligation to pay cash flows received in full without delay to a third party under a “pass” arrangement; (a) substantially transferred all the risks and rewards of the asset; or (b) transferred control over the asset and the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially the risks and rewards of the financial asset.
- The right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset.
- The right to direct control over the use of the specified asset.
- Increase the carrying amount to reflect the interest rate on the lease liabilities;
- Reduce the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and
- Remeasure the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications, or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments that are remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in index or a rate, or if there was a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees, or if the Group changed its assessment whether if it will choose the purchase, extension or termination.
The principal or the most appropriate market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
Fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits from the asset’s highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would utilize the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Financial Statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy. This is disclosed as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the consolidated Financial Statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. The Group has determined the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, and for non-recurring measurement.
At each reporting date, the Group analyzes the changes in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be re-measured or re-assessed as per the Group’s accounting policies. For this analysis, the Group verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents. The Group also compares the change in the fair value for each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable. For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy, as explained above.
(f) Financial Instruments
Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; FVOCI – debt investments; FVOCI – equity investments; or FVTPL.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not classified at fair value through profit or loss.
A debt instrument is measured at FVOCI only if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
On initial recognition of investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment by investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
The financial assets (unless they are receivables without a significant financing component that is initially measured at the transaction price) are initially measured at fair value, for an item not at FVTPL, plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition.
The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial assets.
Financial Assets at FVTPL | These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss. |
Financial Assets at Amortized cost | These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss. |
Investments in Debt Instruments at FVOCI | These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss. |
Equity Investments at FVOCI | These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss. |
Impairment of Financial Assets
The financial assets recognized at amortized cost consist of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, deposits with financial institutions and other receivables.
Loss provisions are measured on the bases of ECLs over lifetime of a financial instrument: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort.
This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all value shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach to estimate ECLs.
Presentation of Impairment
Impaired Financial Assets
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are impaired. A financial asset is impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Loss provisions for financial assets are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. Impairment losses related to trade receivables, if any, are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss under a separate item.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gains or losses on derecognition are also recognized in profit or loss.
Derecognition
Financial Assets
A financial asset (or part of a group of similar financial assets) is disposed mainly (i.e. disposed from the statement of financial position) in the following cases:
Financial Liabilities
The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The Group also derecognizes financial liabilities when the terms and cash flows of the modified obligation are substantially modified, in which case a new financial liability is recognized based on the modified terms at fair value.
On disposal of a financial liability, the difference between the amortized carrying amount and the amount paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or charged liabilities) is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
The Group has no debt investments at FVOCI or equity investments at FVOCI.
(h) Employees’ Benefits
Short-term Benefits
Short term employees benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Post-employment Benefits
The Group operates a defined benefit plan for its employees in accordance with Saudi Labor and Workman Law as defined by the conditions set out in the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The cost of providing the benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method. Employees’ benefits obligation plans are not funded. Accordingly, valuations of the obligations under those plans are carried out by an independent actuary based on the projected unit credit method and the liability is recorded based on an actuarial valuation.
The liability recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension obligation. Past-service costs are recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the balance of the defined benefits obligations. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the consolidated statement of income. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
(i) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate for the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of reporting date taking into account risk and doubts specific to liability.
When the Group expects to pay some or all of the provisions (for example, insurance contracts, compensation terms or supplier guarantees), the payment is recognized as a separate asset. When payment is almost certain, expenses relating to provision are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, net of any compensation.
In case the effect of the time value of money is of relative importance, the provisions are determined by discounting estimated cash flows by pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments for time value of money and risks related to the obligation. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.
(j) Contingent Liabilities
These are probable obligations arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or present obligation not recorded because the need for flow of resources to settle the obligation is not probable. In case the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability, this amount is not recognized as contingent liabilities but disclosed in the consolidated Financial Statements.
(k) Foreign Currency Transactions
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Saudi Riyals at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the financial position date are translated to Saudi Riyals at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Gains or losses arising on exchanges are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss currently.
(l) Expenses
Advertising and publicity expenses are those arising from the Group’s efforts underlying the marketing functions. All other expenses, excluding cost of revenue and financial charges, are classified as general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses. Allocations of common expenses between cost of revenue and general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, when required, are made on a consistent basis.
(m) Zakat
Provision for Zakat is calculated at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position in accordance with regulations of the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“ZATCA”). The resulting provision is recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Additional Zakat liability, if any, related to prior years’ assessments arising from ZATCA are recognized in the period in which the final assessments are finalized.
(n) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it transfers control over a good or service to a customer.
The Group recognizes revenue under IFRS 15 using the following five steps model:
Step 1: Identify the contracts with a customer | A contract is defined as an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for every contract that must be met. |
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations | A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a good or service to the customer. |
Step 3: Identify the transaction price | The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. |
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price | For a contract that has more than one performance obligation, the Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount that depicts the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. |
Step 5: Revenue recognition | The Group recognizes revenue when (or as) it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer under a contract. |
Commissions Revenue and Revenue from Delivery Services
Revenue is recognized when the delivery service is performed to the customer and at the point in time at which the customer achieves control over the benefits associated with the service and the performance of service obligations and is stated net of discounts and compensation offered to the customer.
The control for commission revenue is passes at point in time when the merchant accepts the order, the control over the delivery services passes at point in time when the order is delivered.
Revenue from E-payment Fees
Revenue is recognized when the collection service is performed on behalf of the customer and at the point in time at which the customer achieves control over the benefits associated with the service and the performance of service obligations, and is stated at net after discounts and compensation offered to the customer, if any.
The control for e-payment fees revenue is passes at point in time when the merchant accepts the order.
Advertising and Marketing Revenue
Revenue associated with advertising and marketing services are recognized over time by measuring the Company’s progress towards satisfaction of a performance obligation using output method.
Other Revenue
Revenue is recognized upon fulfilment of the obligation to the customer and are stated net of discounts and rebates, if any.
Variable Consideration
Any voucher, cash back and customer compensations are treated as a reduction in revenue. If the transaction price includes a variable amount, the transaction price is estimated and recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
(o) Leases
Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease or not depends on the core of the arrangement at its inception date. The arrangement is assessed for whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
Group as a Lessee
At the commencement date, the Group shall assess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, the Group shall assess whether, throughout the period of use, the customer has both of the following:
The Group shall recognize a right-of-use asset at the commencement date (i.e. the date on which the underlying asset is available for use) and a lease liability at the commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment and is settled for any remeasurement of a lease liability.
The cost of right-of-use asset includes the initial amount of a lease liability adjusted by lease payments made on or before the commencement date, and any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in decommissioning and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, less any lease incentives received. The estimated useful life for right-of-use asset based on the lease term.
At the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The Group shall discount lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be easily determined, the Group should use the incremental borrowing rate.
Group as a Lessee
After the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the lease liability by:
Any remeasurement is settled in the lease liability against the carrying amount of right-of-use asset or charged to the statement of income if the carrying amount of the related asset is Zero.
Short-term Leases
The Group elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the short-term leases for which their terms are 12 months or less. The Group recognizes lease payments associated with those leases as expenses on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Extension Options
In case of leases that provide extension options, the Group assesses whether if it is reasonably certain, at commencement date, that the extension options will be exercised. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the options if there was a significant event or major change in the circumstances that fall under its control.
(p) Segments Reporting
An operating segment is a part of the Group’s business activities from which revenue can be recognized and expenses are incurred and includes income and expenses relating to transactions with any of the other components. All operational results of the operating segments are reviewed by the operating decision makers to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, which have separate financial information.
(q) Earnings Per Share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of the ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for the number of expected vested shares granted for share based payment program.
(r) Projects in Progress 
Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost. Upon implementation, capital work in progress is transferred to the appropriate asset class within property, equipment, and intangible assets, and is depreciated and amortized in accordance with the Group’s policies.
(s) Share-based Payments 
Employees of the Company (including senior executives) will be awarded incentives under share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions) or cash equivalents of the shares fair value (i.e., cash-settled transactions) The Company measures the cost of cash-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of share options under share-based payment arrangements. For share-based payment transactions, this valuation refers to the fair value at the vesting date. For cash-settled transactions, this refers to the fair value at each reporting date using an appropriate valuation model. For more details, see note (14).
That cost is recognized in expenses, together with a corresponding increase in equity (Share-based payment reserve), for equity-settled transactions or together with increase in cash-settled transactions liability during the period which the service was provided and fulfillment of performance conditions (if any) where appropriate (vesting period). The cumulative expense recognized at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period.
Service and non-market performance conditions are not considered when determining the vesting date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the vesting date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without a required service, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied. When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the vesting date fair value of the unmodified award, provided the original vesting terms of the award are met. An additional expense, measured as at the date of modification, is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee. For cash-settled transactions, the fair value remeasurement at each reporting date is considered to be the opposite of the modified conditions and circumstances (except for market conditions). Under equity-settled transactions, where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Pursuant to the grant letters signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors and employees, and the Share-based Payment Program Policy, the Board of Directors has the right at any time to make a decision to settle the consideration with grants by equity instruments (i.e., equity-settled transactions) or cash equivalent of shares fair value (ie., cash-settled transactions).
The Company’s Management determined the accounting treatment by settling the consideration with grants by equity instruments, and accordingly that cost was recognized under the expenses with a corresponding increase in equity (the share-based payment program).

Marn Business Information Technology Company
Goodwill is subject to annual impairment testing. Assets are tested for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of each CGU to the fair value amount which has been determined based on fair value calculation using cash flow projections based on financial forecasts approved by management covering a six-year period. The discount rate is applied to cash flow projections for respective CGUs that varies in the range of 33% to 35%.
The calculation of fair value is most sensitive to the assumptions on sales growth rates and discount rates.
Management has determined the values assigned to each of the above key assumptions as follows:
Assumption |
Approach used to determine values |
Sales growth rate | Average annual growth rate over the Six-year forecast period; based on past performance and management’s expectations of market development |
Discount rate | A discount rate, namely weighted average cost of capital (WACC), is applied for specific business areas based on assumptions regarding interest rates and risk premiums and is recalculated to a (‘Discount rate’) |
Assumptions used for fair value calculations is most sensitive were:
Sensitivity to Changes in Assumptions
The implications of changes to the key assumptions are discussed below:
(a) Sales Growth Assumption
The sales growth in the forecast period of six years has been estimated to be a average annual growth rate of 137%. If all other assumptions kept the same; a reduction of this growth rate by 10% would give a fair value exceed the current carrying amount.
(b) Discount rate
The Pre-tax discount rate in the forecast period has been estimated to be 34%. If all other assumptions kept the same; an increase of this discount rate to 44% would give a fair value exceed the current carrying amount.
SOL Company for Trading
On 26 December 2023, the Group completed the process and legal formalities of the acquisition of 35% of the shares of SOL Company for Trading (limited liability company) for cash consideration of SAR 5 Million. The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method under IFRS 3 – Business Combinations (the “Standard”). As required by the Standard, the Group is currently in the process of allocating the purchase consideration to the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired. The Group has, however, accounted for the acquisition based on provisional fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as at the acquisition date. Adjustment to the provisional values will be finalized within twelve months of the date of acquisition as allowed by the Standard.

- The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Group has identified the GDP, unemployment rate, inflation rate and interest rate of the countries in which it sells its goods and services to be the most relevant factors, and accordingly adjusted the historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors.
- Financial position of related parties is stable.
The Group manages credit risk with respect to receivables from customers by monitoring in accordance with defined policies and procedures. The Group seeks to limit its credit risk with respect to customers by setting credit limits for individual customers and by monitoring outstanding receivables on an ongoing basis.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The ageing schedule of trade receivables is as follows:
