Naushad Merali's Sameer has made a profit warning due to a slow puncture phenomena affecting Yana tyres. It is being attributed to poor quality rubber finding its way into the manufacturing process as high quality rubber has become extremely expensive.

The board of directors wishes to inform the shareholders of the company and potential investors that we expect that the results for the year ending 31st December 2010 may experience a decline in comparison to the previous year’s results.
