A statement from the company said that the company's accounting standards only recognised profits upon full completion of projects, "resulting in a lag between achievement of sales and the actual recognition of those sales and their accompanying returns in the income statement."

On Monday, Egypt's stock market regulator said it had approved a 5-million-pound capital increase by SODIC.

Shares of SODIC were trading 1.5 percent higher at 125.05 pounds per share by 0813 GMT.
