Emerging Growth Company, page 10
6.On page 11, you disclose that given that you currently report and expect to continue to
report under U.S. GAAP, you have irrevocably elected not to avail yourselves of
the extended transition period and, as a result, you will adopt new or revised accounting
standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required by the
IASB. However, we note that your financial statements included in the filing were
prepared in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by
the International Accounting Standards Board rather than U.S. GAAP. Please note that the
term “new or revised financial accounting standards” refers to any update issued by the
FASB to its Accounting Standards Codification after April 5, 2012, the date of the
enactment of the JOBS Act. Please revise your disclosure to correct this inconsistency. In
addition, please tell us what consideration you gave to revising your risk factor on pages
31-32 regarding your plan to comply with any new or revised financial accounting
standards.

also, that unless otherwise indicated, all references to currency amounts in this prospectus
are in USD. In light of the fact that it appears your audited financial statements are
presented in accordance with IFRS and are presented in your reporting currency of the
AED, please revise this inconsistency on page 12.
