DUBAI, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's Etihad Etisalat 7020.SE (Mobily), which last week slashed 27 months of profits following an accounting scandal, swung to a second-quarter net loss on Sunday that missed forecasts.

Mobily, an affiliate of the United Arab Emirates' Etisalat ETEL.AD , made a net loss of 900.9 million riyals ($240.2 million) in the three months to June 30, it said in a bourse statement.

This compares with a profit of 92.5 million riyals in the prior-year period.

Analysts polled by Reuters had on average forecast that Mobily, which competes with the Gulf's No.1 operator Saudi Telecom Co 7010.SE and Zain Saudi 7030.SE , would make a quarterly loss of 633 million riyals. ID:nL5N0ZU2GZ
