Announcing its financial results for the first three quarters, DFM said its total revenue, comprising operational, investment and other income, reached Dh145.12 million, down 29 per cent compared to Dh205 million last year.

The company also recorded a net loss of Dh9.28 million throughout the third quarter of 2011 compared to a net loss of Dh2.95 million last year.
