    Kuwait is an oil based economy with the fifth largest proven crude

    oil reserves in the world. Consequently, Kuwaits economy was structured

    around the production and refining of hydrocarbons. According topreliminary data from Kuwaits Central Statistical Office, nominal GDP

    grew 16.9% YoY (Year on Year) in 2010 to reach KWD 35.6 billion, up

    from KWD 30.5 billion the previous year. Growth was driven largely by

    the oil sector, which contributed KD18.3 billion to GDP, an increase of

    22% YoY due to higher oil prices in 2010. During the year 2010, Kuwait

    reported a budget surplus of KWD 6.3 billion. Oil revenues for the year

    reached KWD 18.8 billion and accounted for approximately 94% of total

    government revenues. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) expects the

    non-oil sector to remain relatively small, despite efforts to diversify theeconomy. Looking forward, EIU forecasts real GDP to grow at an average

    rate of 4.9% over the 20112016 periods.1

    Liquidity and Asset Ratios:The current ratio is less than 1 which is a good sign. This

    indicates that ACICO would be unable to pay off its debt obligation ifthey came due at that point. The sales to asset ratio has declined in

    the last 2 years which isnt a good sign. It indicates that ACICO

    needs more investment to generate sales revenue which means less

    profitability of the firm. The cash ratio of ACICO is 0.11 in 2010

    which is low. This means that creditors would be reluctant in how

    much debt they should give to ACICO.

    means that 65% of the companys assets are financed by debt. This

    means that the majority of the companys assets are financed by debt.

    The debt to equity ratio of 2.02 is high which means that ACICO has

    been aggressive in financing its growth by debt.

    pretty high before the 2008 crisis with 72% growth. The revenue

    growth in the last 2 years has been negative. This indicates that the

    revenue has been decreasing for the last 2 years.

    The peer group valuation is performed to compare the intrinsic value

    which makes up the peer set for ACICO. The price-earnings multiple of a

    the company, its growth potential as perceived by the market, predictability

    and sustainability of its revenues, the quality of its earnings and the quality

    of its management, among others.
