OVERALL PERFORMANCE
REVIEW SUMMARY
Revenues, Profit, and Earning Per Share:

The group’s financial performance witnessed a notable improvement by

December the 31st 2021 compared with the previous year. The group has
successfully managed to overcome the negative effects of floating the Sudanese
pound at the beginning of the year which led to its decline against the US Dollar
causing revenues to fall significantly in USD terms. Despite that, the company
managed to achieve positive results through several strategic initiatives.
