Credit Risk Management: ( Auditor's Report)
-------------------------------------------The Group has adopted a policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss
from defaults.
The Group’s exposure and the credit quality of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of
transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.
Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by management.
Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of
receivables. The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of
counterparties having similar characteristics.
The Group defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if they are related entities. Concentration of Credit Risk did
not exceed 26% (2009: 35%) of gross monetary assets at any time during the year. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited
because the counterparties are banks registered in the United Arab Emirates.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the consolidated financial statements, which is net of impairment losses,
represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.
Ratios:
Current ratio - 2 is an acceptable result, but even
1,8 is considered excellent in bank practice

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The suejct company was established in 1975. The company, Arab Heavy Industries (AHI) is a public joint stock company listed
on 27.12.2006 (Dubai Stock Exchane) which is jointly owned by The Ajman Government, Al-Futtaim Group, Keppel Group of
Singapore and other investors.
It provides an entire spectrum of ship repair, conversion, shipbuilding and steel fabrication services to the marine, offshore and
engineering industries.
The company is managed by the Keppel Group, Singapore. The ship repair and shipbuilding division of the group has one of the
largest shipyard operations in Singapore and an international network of shipyards in Asia, Middle East AND North America.
INDUSTRIAL ANALYSIS:
--------------------TRANSPORT & INFRASTRUCTURE
With a population currently growing at 18% per year and real estate investments worth more than Dh80bn ($21.78bn), current
projects to improve the emirate's transport and infrastructure are increasingly important. Most of the current focus has been on
the Ajman Port, improved road links to neighbouring emirates and a new state-of-the-art sewage and wastewater treatment
plant anticipated to come online in 2009. The plant is a public-private partnership being constructed on a build-operate-transfer
basis. The government initially owns 20% of the plant, gaining full ownership after 25 years. Because air conditioning is a
necessity and places a heavy burden on the electricity supply, the introduction of district cooling that provides cooling from a
central location to various locations has been introduced as an alternative. It initially met with some resistance due to high start
up costs. However with electricity becoming an ever more precious commodity as greater demands are placed on the system,
the technology is starting to catch on in Ajman, as well as throughout the rest of the UAE. Additionally, the municipality's
planning department is making efforts to systemise and rationalise land use in the emirate for maximum economic benefit with
an eye towards environmental sustainability. Despite recent updates to the Port of Ajman, which can now handle 3000 twenty
foot equivalent units each month, competition with other, much larger, regional ports has left officials looking to relocate the
port to a more advantageous location within the emirate.

The UAE has an open economy with a high per capita income and a sizable annual trade surplus. Successful efforts at
economic diversification have reduced the portion of GDP based on oil and gas output to 25%.
The economy is still dependent on Abu Dhabi’s oil revenues. With high debt, public companies in Dubai were severely affected
by the financial crisis. Payment defaults have accelerated. Many projects have been put on hold. As there is no sovereign
guarantee on the debt of Dubai World and its main real estate subsidiary (Nakheel), a failure of the debt restructuring that is
required could lead to bankruptcies.
