The company says the decision for retraction was in light of the prevailing conditions of the lending markets and liquidity regionally and globally.

Last month the company reported a net loss for 2009 of BHD 3,775,120 ($10.01 million) as compared to a net loss of BD 11,054,121 ($29.3 million) in the corresponding period the previous year.
