15 February 2009 (pm): Shuaa have changed their financial reporting year from April to March, to January to December so these figures are for 2008FY. Limited information supplied in Shuaa press release and Q4 figures for 2007 and 2008 not obvious or not supplied. We have attempted to calculate them from previous financial data but they are not confirmed.
Normally we'd use Balance Sheet information from the period before to calculate ROE, ROA, and PBV but there's a comment in the press release about Assets under Management that is unnerving. It was AED 6.6 billion in early 2008 but AED 1.74 billion by the end of December 2008. That's not the same thing as Total Assets but until Shuaa supply more complete information, treat derived ratios with caution. Auditor's name not supplied but assumed to be the same as for previous results.
Have your say in the SHUAA 2008 Q4 results forum topic, includes directors reports and news, if available.
