Du will play an important role in the economy of the U.A.E. We aim to have 30 percent of the telecommunications market within three years and will look to create optimal value for our shareholders through business excellence and innovation.

This new era will witness major developments in products and services that will benefit customers, spur growth and promote development of the local economy in general.

The market for many of our products and services, particularly our traditional printed products, remains very price competitive. Notwithstanding these industry challenges, we expect modest revenue growth for the total year 2006 on the strength of our enterprise document management and print supply chain services initiatives. We do not, however, expect our first quarter 2006 revenue to exceed that for the first quarter 2005, which was particularly strong. We will also continue to focus on productivity improvements, asset management, and maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Our customers should take joy in our products and services.
