The report analyses the financial performance of Du in 2010, one of the biggest telecommunications

company in the UAE. Du has seen a 32% increase in sales in 2010 as compared to the previous year,
with sales amounting to 7 Billion AED. Profit before tax has seen a six-fold increase because of
increase in sales and reduction in royalty. The current ratio, however, is 0.72, which means Du would
not be able to pay its obligations immediately if they become due immediately.

Du has outstanding loans to the amount of 0.9 billion which has been instrumental in financing its
major assets – the purchase of property, plant and equipment. Increased revenues and loans has
also enabled Du to increase its cash holdings significantly, from 0.8 billion in 2009 to 2.8 billion.
These indicate signs of growth and expansion in the forthcoming years. As a consequence of its good
performance in terms of increase in sales and revenues, Du’s share price has increased from 2.86
AED as on 31st December 2010 to 3.27 as on 19th May 2011.
