Comments about Union Cement Company FY 2008 results

19 January 2009 (during trading): CEO name not supplied but previous information was Magnus Dalen. Net Operating Profit is AED 167,194,000 but unknown exactly what this represents (it's not Gross Profit at least). Total Assets took a bit of a hit in the fourth quarter, they were AED 1.579 at the end of the third quarter but have dropped by about AED 44 million, presumably write downs of investment losses due to the crumbling share prices during the quarter. Shareholder's Equity figure restated to exclude minority interests of AED 1.5 m (assumed to be the same as 2007 and 2006 FY). Preliminary results stated Shareholder's Equity as AED 1,403,102,000.

Have your say in the UCC 2008 FY results forum topic, includes directors reports and news, if available.
