Investors should not be alarmed by the sharp YoY profit decline as it stems from a one-time accounting gain in the base year; focus instead on the steady revenue growth and the potential of the new Dubai subsidiaries. Maintain a watch on the collection of dues from major telecom operators which impacts the 'Other Expenses' line.
