IIG issued a press release on NasdaqDubai advising that while KPMG had completed its interim report, the Company could not release it yet because the Central Bank of Kuwait had not yet approved IIG's 2009 audited financials.
That latter statement indicates that the news in those financials is going to be what we in the financial world describe as "disappointing".
Here's the text of the press release:

To use your own words of yesterday (Ref Kuwait Asset Purchase "Solution")- "What's also required is effective regulation of the KSE. For too long it's been the playground of "Groups" who manipulate prices, shuffle assets between companies, etc.
With IIG as perhaps the most extreme example!
Just re-read item and saw this: -
“We shall provide the interim report to all sukukholders who has signed confidentiality agreement, as soon as the Central Bank’s approval is received.”
Notwithstanding the confidentiality bit, do try to get a copy - I am sure it will be interesting (i.e. hair-raising) reading.

As ususal, thanks for your comments.
Not sure how I'd get a copy.
I think I have to rely on the kindness of strangers.
