Conclusion and Recommendation

We can conclude from the above analysis that financial situation of Emaar Company in the year 2008 was poor as compared to the financial situation of 2007. Considering the issues from the very starting that company has bigger liabilities in 2008 as compared to 2007 and also companies assets were declined.

Coming to the profits made by the company, we have seen in the above analysis that it had lesser profit because there was lesser sale in the year 2008.

Also, as we have seen in the ratio analysis, company has a better standing in the year 2007 as compared to 2008.

One of the very crucial reasons for this decline might be the Global Financial Crisis. Emaar is a real estate company and real estate was the very first cause of the financial crisis and effect on real estate industry all over the world was disastrous.

We can give some of the recommendations to improve the situation of the company. These are as follows:

Company should look forward to advertise itself more and should hide their defect as more as possible. This will pull the investors towards the company

Company has lost a huge amount of capital outstanding in the year 2008, company should get back that capital payment

Company should look for those assets which it has lost or has declined in the financial crisis.
