PE, ROA, and ROE are annualised figures. AJMANBANK 4th quarter data not supplied so Q4 figures calculated from FY and M9 data but are not confirmed. Ajman Bank still have close to AED 1 billion invested in "Islamic financing instruments". I suppose the good news is that they're not losing money as fast as other companies that have invested in other assets, and Ajman Bank still have most of their money. No dividend information or AGM date supplied.
Ajman Bank FY statements say they are for the period 07 January 2007 (yes, 2007) until 31 December 2008. I didn't think they existed in 2007 ?
DFM 16 February 2009 (am):

They do, but none from core banking operations. For consistency across all companies I calculate revenue from core operations (interest and Islamic finance income for banks) and treat everything else as "Other Income".
Ajman Bank income for the 2 year period from 08 January 2007 to 31 December 2008 was AED 50.63m from "investment in Islamic financing instruments". For the period ending 30 September 2008 it was AED 36.59m which means 2008 Q4 figure was AED 14.04. _________________ UAE IPO list | posting guidelines

this is natuarally expected from a new bank and in current global financial crises...
i believe by 2010 the bank will perform and do well...
As of today its price on DFM is 0.95 which is far better than any other well established company on same floor...
One can expect dividends in 3rd year of operation of such establishements... _________________ sMiLeS AccRoSS MiLeS
