Since 2004 Ferona a.s. has been fully owned by an English company - IRG Steel Ltd. In the same year, Ferona celebrated 175 years in business. On this occasion, we adopted the slogan “175 let – Zelezna Jistota = Cast Iron Certainty” which indicated that our company had always been as solid as cast iron and steel, its principal commodity. The mentioning of iron always reminds me of the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher, and her firm and uncompromising political stance. As I spent most of my life in Britain, I had an opportunity – and it was an honour – to meet her personally on several occasions. Her enthusiasm and extreme persistence impressed and inspired me considerably, both in my professional and personal life. That is why I endeavoured to introduce the spirit of Lady Thatcher into Ferona. One of the most important pillars of such philosophy is a professional judgement based on ‘judge by results basis’ rather then on personal connections or political allegiance. Ferona has always provided high quality services for all its customers in all industrial sectors. Although the company has very strong historical foundations, we simply can not afford to rest on our laurels. Ferona like any smart company always takes into account the fact that the building and construction industry as well as other industrial sectors are subject to economic cycles ranging from prosperity to recession. Therefore we need to be flexible enough to cater for those changing market requirements. As a result of this we pay special attention to the volumes of our warehouse stock as well as making special efforts to deliver the widest product range possible. Our customers and partners are our priority. We seek to meet their needs and we are very interested in their views in order to fully satisfy their requirements. We put great emphasis and value on continuous training and education of our employees, thus making sure that they are able to maintain the highest standards of service that our customers expect and are used to. We plan and build for the future, even for the tougher times. We are not afraid of large investments in measures improving handling and transportation of products or investments in processing facilities because we want to offer our customers more options and higher added value. Satisfied customers at the end of the entire process are our objective as well as our best reference. I am very proud to be able to say that Ferona, as a distributor, causes no environmental pollution. Unfortunately, it is a very little known fact that steel is one of the most environmentally-friendly materials used by mankind. Few other materials are as recyclable as steel. 6 1 Ferona has a very efficient, eager and highly motivated management team. This coupled with typical British bulldog persistence, will propel the company to new levels of corporate excellence. At the same time we need to realise that success for Ferona is a journey and not a destination. I appreciate very much the particularly good results accomplished by our company in 2006 and hope that we will be able to strengthen our market position in the Czech Republic even further in the years to come, and to improve our existing performance in those territories in which we are already active as well as in those to which we are planning to expand. Globalisation is clearly starting to affect even such historically locally orientated sectors as the distribution of steel. Ferona has a clear goal to create a strong Central European Group, retaining our position as an important partner of our suppliers and extending our customer service to international level. When assessing the past year, we must not forget the driving force of our business - our employees. I appreciate the efficiency and enthusiasm of all our employees in all departments and would like to use this opportunity to thank them for their efforts. On behalf of the Board and myself, I would like to wish all those involved with Ferona every success in their professional and personal lives.

Jiří Plajner GENERAL TRENDS Last year, major progress was achieved in the process of integration of the metallurgic production which is definitely a clear signal for the future. Stronger, globally operating p l a y e r s w i l l c o n t i n u e i n c re a s i n g t h e i r m a r k e t s h a re s i n c l u d i n g both production and, most probably, distribution as well. Since the rise of prices in 2004, there have been attempts to replace steel products with other materials but steel can only be replaced to a limited extent due to its unique properties. This is why the global demand for and consumption of steel keep rising. In our region, an increasing demand for steel has been observed in the car and the building industries. Foreign investments in the countries of Central Europe contribute to long-term stability of the consumption. On the other hand, the structure of the demand for steel changes. New technology is being implemented to process high-grade steel and savings are achieved through the use of light-weight but rigid materials. In future, the cyclical nature of the steel production will depend to a large extent on the further development in China, the availability of sources such as energy, scrap iron, iron ore and ferroalloys, and the development of the USD rate along with the import policy in the USA. 9 10 2 C O M P A N Y ' S P R O F I L E A N D H I S T O R Y 11 2 FACTS AND FIGURES w Ferona, a. s.

SERVICES TRANSPORT Ferona uses mainly 108 Mercedes-Benz trucks of its own and trucks provided by contractual hauliers to transport products to the customers. Small-volume products are sent over large distances using collection services and/or as Profi parcels at reduced prices. Most of our own trucks are equipped with special unloading devices to save our customers' time and reduce delivery times. SPLITTING OF BARS Every warehouse has a facility where rolled bars can be split to usual lengths of up to 12 metres. Hot rolled hexagonal bars (HEA, HEB), I-beams and U-bars (Euro beams) with lengths of up to 22 m and cross-sections of up to 600 mm are split centrally in our premises in Olomouc. The latest technology from KALTENBACH is used for precise splitting. SPLITTING OF COLD ROLLED COILS The Steel Service Centre in Hradec Králové has a new facility using modern technology from FIMI to split cold-rolled coils of sheets with various surface treatment and weights of up to 30 tonnes both in the longitudinal and the transverse directions. The result of the transverse splitting is sheets with thicknesses ranging from 0.5 to 3 mm, widths ranging from 300 to 1,600 mm, and lengths ranging from 500 to 4,000 mm. The result of the longitudinal splitting is strips of various widths ranging from 30 to 1,600 mm. Besides its own production using purchased coils or materials delivered by the customers, the Steel Service Centre also issues certificates for its products. Reports on the measurement of the dimensions of the split sheets are available at request. Special needs of our customers concerning tests of materials and calibration of measuring devices are dealt with in cooperation with various laboratories at the Czech Republic's leading technical universities. 20 3 SPLITTING OF HOT ROLLED COILS On the premises of Ferona Ostrava, Ferona – Dělící centrum, s. r. o. (FDC) operates a facility for splitting hot rolled materials, using a WEAN DAMIRON splitting line for transverse splitting and a BKM splitting line for longitudinal splitting. Standard deviations from the dimensions and the flatness of the sheets are confirmed according to EN 10051 + A1 and the quality according to EN 10025-2 and inspection certificates are issued in compliance with EN 10204 – 3.1. Other qualities, smaller tolerances and other specifications are subject to agreement before a purchase contract is signed. FLAME CUTTING Jednou z oblastí hlavních investičních záměrů je rozšiřování a další zkvalitňování služeb pálení plechů. Je to reakce na stále se zvyšující zájem trhu o tuto službu. Hladké, žebírkové či slzičkové plechy jsou ve Feroně vypalovány do libovolných tvarů při maximálním formátu až 3000 × 12 000 mm, v tloušťce od 1 do 250 mm. Služba funguje na pálicích automatech v pobočkách Plzeň, Hradec Králové, Brno a Olomouc. K vypalování plechů slouží stroje MGM CORTINA a MGM OMNICUT s autogenní výbavou a plazmovými zdroji firmy HYPERTHERM. BLOCK CUTTING It is mainly tool factories that use our service of cutting blocks and round bars made of high-grade steel and non-ferrous metals. The products are cut using Kasto block band saws to various dimensions of up to 1,000 x 1,300 x 4,000 mm. A special centre for cutting blocks and round bars made of high-grade steel and non-ferrous metals is operated in Olomouc as a service centre for tool factories. The products are cut using KASTO BBS U10 x 13 block band saws to various dimensions of up to 1,000 x 1,3000 x 4,000 mm and KASTO BBS U8 x 10 for dimensions not exceeding 860 x 1,060 x 3,000 mm, with a maximum weight of a block of 16,000 kg. The centre is also equipped with KASTO TEC Ac5 and KASTO TWIN A4 band saws. PROCESSING OF REINFORCING STEEL An automatic STEMA TWINMASTER machine is used to unbend, cut and bend reinforcing steel wires with diameters ranging from 6 to 16 mm. Products with diameters ranging from 6 to 39 mm are processed using EDDINGHAUS machines. HAMBI machines are used to cut and bend reinforcing wire meshes with wire diameters ranging from 4 to 8 mm. UNBENDING AND BENDING REINFORCING WIRE COILS An automatic STEMA TWINMASTER 16 II is used to unbend, cut and bend reinforcing wire coils with diameters ranging from 6 to 16 mm. Since recently, we are also able to process stainless reinforcing wire coils with diameters of 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm. 22 BENDING OF STEEL BARS 3 Reinforcing steel bars are bent using a Peddinghaus Perfekt 42 CA machine for diameters ranging from 6 to 39 mm. CUTTING WITH A LASER LENGTH METER A Peddinghaus Simplex Al 3000 machine is used to cut reinforcing bars with diameters ranging from 6 to 39 mm and BSt 500 S rebar steel. WIRE MESH CUTTING HAMBI TV 60 shears are used to cut reinforcing mesh with wire diameters ranging from 4 mm to 8 mm and aperture sizes of 100, 150 and 200 mm. WIRE MESH BENDING A HAMBI KSE 602 V machine is used to bend wire meshes. TESTING OF MATERIALS AND CALIBRATION OF MEASURING DEVICES The Steel Service Centre in Hradec Králové has a testing laboratory providing a wide range of services related to quality assurance. It uses a SPECTROTEST CCD spectrometer to carry out non-destructive chemical analyses and determine the quality of low-alloy carbon and nickel-chromium steel. A LABTEST tensile testing machine is used for static and dynamic mechanical tests of tensile, bending and compressive strengths. Hardness of materials is tested using a HPO 250 hardness meter. The device is fitted with a semi-automatic optical unit to measure the size of penetration using a camera and a picture analysis. To improve our services and provide the necessary support for our business operations, a Laboratory for the Calibration of Geometric Quantities was established in Prague. It is authorised by the Czech Office for Standards, Metrology and Testing to test length gauges and accredited by the Czech Accreditation Institute to calibrate slide gauges, micrometer callipers including tubular ones, steel parallels and tape measures. The Calibration Laboratory also calibrates thickness gauges for sheets, protractors, angles, measuring tapes and length gauging devices on a cutting line at the Steel Service Centre. These metrological services are provided both for Ferona and third parties. 23 24 4 SPECIAL PROJECTS 25 4 There are always jobs and projects that are of special importance and of which the company may be proud of. In 2006, such special projects implemented by Ferona included: Decorative cube – manufactured from Ferona's materials for Sazka Bridge between Tošanovice and Žukov Ferona delivered materials for the steel structure of the left bridge built by Metrostav. The project of the bridge between Tošanovice and Žukov on the I/48 express road is being implemented for the Road and Motorway Directorate of the Czech Republic by a joint venture between Metrostav and Max Boegl & Josef Krýsl. The bridge should be completed by late 2007. Tanks for MERO Ferona supplied sheets for tanks used by MERO. The central oil loading depot was extended to 2 x 125,000 m3. 26 28 5 STAFF 29 5 HUMAN RESOURCES AND STAFF DEVELOPMENT Human resources play a key role in the outputs of every company. Ferona is well aware of it and so it esteems its employees highly, trying to remunerate and motivate them appropriately. SOME FACTS AND FIGURES In 2006, Ferona had 1,412 employees in average, out of which 744 were technical and accounting staff, 568 were blue-collar workers, 95 were sales and operating staff, and 5 were unskilled workers and operators. In terms of education, 107 employees had secondary education, 595 had complete secondary education, 601 had secondary education without a school-leaving examination, and 109 employees only had elementary education. The average wages in 2006 amounted to CZK 30,569, which was an increase by more than 30% compared to last year. This positive development was due to the key indicators of the financial plan that were all met. FRINGE BENEFITS Social expenses amounted nearly CZK 30 million in 2006. They were used primarily to fund the priorities of the company's social programme, including meal allowance, commuting allowance, social assistance, holiday allowance and other benefits. This category also includes another major item which are loyalty bonuses according to the years worked for Ferona. TRAINING Personal development is an integral part of the company's care for its employees because training and professional education are important points on the company's way towards greater stability and further development. In the reported year, training and education included mostly language courses, workshops and professional seminars, as well as standard training focused on changes in legal regulations. INTERNAL NEWSLETTER Ferona issues a newsletter called Echo four times a year to inform its employees about important events in the company. The newsletters also contains entertainment news and funny articles, crossword puzzles and contests with interesting prizes, such as holiday trips. The Echo newsletter was awarded a prestigious prize at the Golden Semicolon 2006 Contest. This contest assesses and awards periodic and non-periodic company newsletters and publications designed for the presentation of the company or its products and services to customers, business partners or employees. The jury awarded a Golden Semicolon 2006 Certificate of Professional Level to Echo. 30 32 6 FERONA AS A RESPONSIBLE AND STRONG PLAYER 33 6 Ferona is one of the most important employers in many regions of the Czech Republic. It has also been regularly included in the prestigious “100 Best of…” study based on which the largest and most successful companies in the Czech Republic are announced every year. Ferona is well aware that a good reputation of a strong and economically stable company also includes support for non-profit sectors, culture, sports and charity. This is why Ferona supported a number of various activities last year and provided funds for the purchase of aids, devices and equipment for charity and medical facilities. SUPPORT FOR SPORTS ACTIVITIES Jaroslav Volf and Ondřej Štěpánek, canoeists, won golden medals at the 2005 Canoe Kayak Slalom Racing World Championship in Prague-Troja, and bronze medals at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. J a r o s l a v V o l f a n d O n d ře j Št ěp á n e k Wheelchair Users Sports Club: Ferona has been supporting sports activities of people who are bound to a wheelchair after a spinal cord injury. The activities are closely related to the Paraple Centre providing the necessary mental and material support to the Club. 34 6 SUPPORT FOR CULTURAL ACTIVITIES Ivan Kyncl's exhibition in Prague, showing a cross-section of the rich work by Ivan Kyncl (1953-2004). Born in the family of Karel Kyncl, the radio reporter, he was a sought-after photographer of the leading British and other theatres. Exhibition at the National Theatre in Prague: It was a large private-view happening arranged by Jan Kunovský in cooperation with the prima ballerina of the English National Ballet, Daria Klimentová. CHARITY AND HEALTH CARE Foundation of Jedlička Institute – purchase of rehabilitation and compensatory aids. Physical Education and Riding Club at Přední Kopanina – support for the development of riding focusing on the use of horses in the therapy of ill children suffering from inadequate muscular and mental coordination (hippotherapy). Křižovatka Foundation – purchase of BabySense electronic breathing monitors monitoring the sleep of infants. These devices are the only protection available now against sudden infant death syndrome. 36 Dráček Civic Society – provision of funds for a rehabilitation team to treat children with neurologic diseases. 6 Association for the Rehabilitation of Children with Movement Disorders – arrangement of two weekend workshops for children with movement disorders and purchase of the necessary materials for these events. Motol Teaching Hospital – treatment of patients, purchase of new medical devices, payment of operating expenses and support for scientific research done at the Institute for Biology and Medical Genetics of Motol Teaching Hospital and Medical Faculty II of Charles University, support for the Clinic of Rehabilitation, and purchase of a spinal unit.

Foundation of Charta 77 – Barriers Account – Ferona has been supporting this foundation for many years now and it has helped a large number of handicapped persons. This year's funds provided by Ferona were used to pay the costs of a special modification of a car for Michael Mencl who is seriously handicapped. The picture shows Michael Mencl and Jiří Plajner, the chairman of Ferona's Board of Directors. 37 38 7 OUTLOOK AND EXPECTATIONS FOR 2007 39 7 ENTRY INTO NEW MARKETS WITHIN THE EU Every company and its management have their short-term and long-term goals. Ferona's long-term goal is to become number one in the distribution of metallurgical products in Central Europe. It has already attained this position in the Czech Republic and is very close to attaining it in Slovakia. Ferona's management will use all the current expertise and skills of the company's staff and the currently used technology to achieve the goal. Besides improving its services provided to its well-established customers, Ferona also wants to focus on new demand and prospective customers outside the Czech Republic and Slovakia, where Ferona's market presence is very strong. For example, a new subsidiary, Ferona Polska, had to be established in Poland for warehouse sales in the region between Katowice and Krakow because deliveries across the border could no longer satisfy the needs of the local customers. In the not-too-distant future, other countries of Central and South-East Europe could follow, such as Hungary and Slovenia and later perhaps even Croatia and Serbia. OTHER FUNDAMENTAL GOALS In addition to an attack to the position of a strong Central European player, Ferona's fundamental goal is also to increase the shareholders' value, extend the range of services and products with high value added, and provide its customers with competitive, global support in neighbouring markets. All these goals go beyond a single year. Another long-term goal, closely related to those named above, is to stabilise Ferona's shares in the markets of metallurgical products and use new opportunities to increase them. Ferona also has to achieve more favourable terms and conditions for the purchase of goods to be able to develop the company's internal potential and financial strength. The 2007 plan envisages revenue from the sale of goods of CZK 18,934 million and pre-tax profit of CZK 530 million. Capital expenditures are expected to amount to CZK 242 million in 2007, comprising mainly modernisation and refurbishment projects. Two development projects will be implemented, construction of a warehouse building with cranes in Plzeň and refurbishment of a warehouse building in Prague-Malešice. 40 42 8 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 43 8 INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES The investment activities in 2006 focused primarily on refurbishment and investments towards better satisfaction of customers' needs. Tangible and intangible fixed assets were purchased in the value of CZK 231,783 thousand. Of this, CZK 88,177 thousand was investments into machinery and equipment. Most funds were invested into cranes and equipment used for the treatment of goods. A total of CZK 63,172 thousand was invested into the renewal of our vehicle fleet. The investments into structures reached CZK 71,094 thousand, including mainly the modernisation of the warehouse premises in České Budějovice and Prague and the offices in Ostrava and the company's headquarters. A total of CZK 9,340 thousand was spent on intangible assets, mostly software. KEY INDICATORS OF THE LAST THREE YEARS The company has fully assumed the activities of its legal predecessor, formed as a joint-stock company in 1992. Sale of materials Revenue from the sale of goods Profit/loss Inventory Short-term receivables Short-term payables Bank loans Employees 2004 2005 2006 (thousands of tonnes) 960 (CZK million) 19 315 873 18 698 981 20 675 364 3 091 2 537 2 296 2 562 1 445 822 4 216 3 152 3 050 3 130 1 412 (CZK million) (CZK million) (CZK million) (CZK million) (CZK million) (persons) 989 3 784 2 407 2 042 2 785 1 471 BUSINESS ACTIVITIES In 2006, Ferona continued as the leader in the field of steel stockholding and distribution of metallurgical products, secondary products, non-ferrous metals and the related range of hardware goods in the Czech Republic. Its market share differs from one product to another but generally it reaches 15 to 20 per cent of deliveries for use within the Czech Republic. In 2005 the Company sold 980,526 tonnes of goods, which was an increase by 107,402 tonnes or 12.3% compared to 2005 and 20,958 tonnes or 2.2% compared to 2004. Last year's sales expressed in units of materials was the best result for the past decade. Last year, revenues from the sale of goods amounted to CZK 20,674,719 thousand, which was an increase by CZK 1,976,915 thousand or 10.6% compared to 2005 and CZK 1,360,073 thousand or 7% compared to 2004. Most of the company's revenue is obtained in the Czech market, with exports to ther countries only accounting for about 2% of the revenue. 44 8 The structure of the revenue according to groups of products in 2006 was as follows: Flat products 43.8% High-grade steel 4.0% Secondary metallurgical products 3.2% Non-ferrous metals 6.1% Jointing materials 0.2% Long products 30.8% Pipes 11.9% Jointing materials only accounted for a negligible share in the total revenue, especially after Ferona discontinued the wholesale business with these products in the second half of 2006. Since then, jointing materials are only available in retail outlets. COMMENTS ON THE DEVELOPMENT COMMENTS ON THE PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT It was the profit margin that accounted for most of the company's revenue. In 2009, profit margin totalled CZK 2,212,132 thousand, which was CZK 608,365 thousand or 37.9% more than in 2005 but CZK 854,627 thousand less than in 2004. The increase against the last year's figure was due to a favourable price development combined with a rise by 12.3% of the sale of materials compared to 2005. Revenue from services consisting in splitting and processing of materials, such as flame-cutting of thin sheets according to the customers' requirements, and services provided by the subsidiary amounted to CZK 157,445 thousand, which was an increase by CZK 17,138 thousand or 12.2% compared to 2005 and 10.8% compared to 2004. The costs of materials and energy consumed totalled CZK 1,320,775 thousand, out of which consumption of materials in Division IV – Steel Service Centre accounted for 89% or CZK 1,175,395 thousand. The largest item of services purchased from third parties was contractual transport (accounting for 40%) and repairs and maintenance (accounting for 19%). Due to the developments described above, the value added also increased by CZK 553,364 thousand to CZK 1,842,606 thousand, which was an increase by 42.9% compared to 2005 but a decrease by 30.9% compared to 2004. Total personnel expenses of CZK 744,863 thousand, up by 27.1% compared to 2005, helped increase the satisfaction of the company's employees. Depreciation and amortisation of tangible and intangible fixed assets amounted to CZK 208,359 thousand, which was a year-on-year drop of 1.5%. The result of operations was CZK 1,069,780 thousand, which was an increase by CZK 493,313 thousand compared to 2005 but a decrease by CZK 456,686 thousand compared to 2004. 46 Interest paid on operating loans amounted to CZK 114,564 thousand and was still the largest item of expenses reducing the income from financial operations, despite a year-on-year decline by 18%. Other financial expenses, such as bank fees and foreign exchange losses, amounted to CZK 48,802 thousand. The income from financial operations also included dividends received from ownership interests of CZK 115,590 thousand and the profit from the sale of shares of Nypro – hutní prodej, a. s. Other financial income totalled CZK 38,339 thousand. The result of financial operations was a profit of CZK 12,176 thousand. 8 In 2006, the Company did not record any accounting operations which would have affected the extraordinary profit/loss. The gross profit of 2006 before taxation increased by CZK 620,604 thousand compared to the previous year and amounted to CZK 1,081,956 thousand. The profit for the fiscal year (net profit after taxation) totalled CZK 822,432 thousand, which was an up by CZK 458,711 thousand compared to the previous year but down by CZK166,375 thousand compared to 2004. COMMENTS ON THE BALANCE SHEET Total assets as of 31 December 2006 increased by CZK 1,664,209 thousand to a total net book value of CZK 11,052,749 thousand. This development was due to a rise of inventory and short-term receivables as a result of increasing prices of the goods sold. Fixed assets, accounting for 32.2% of the total assets, recorded a year-on-year relative drop of 0.5% and amounted to CZK 3,563,733 thousand. They were structured as follows (in CZK thousand and percentages of fixed assets): Tangible fixed assets 79.5% CZK 2,834,756 thousand Intangible fixed assets 0.3% CZK 10,453 thousand Financial assets 20.2% CZK 718,524 thousand The largest items of the tangible fixed assets included buildings and structures with a total value of CZK 1,735,709 thousand or 61.2% of the total value of tangible fixed assets, movables with a value of CZK 556,010 thousand (19.6%) and land with a value of CZK 526,622 thousand (18.6%). The net value of financial assets amounted to CZK 718,524 thousand, including a previously recorded adjusting entry for the financial investment in Ferona Slovakia which, according to the principle of prudency, decreased the book value thereof by CZK 80,000 thousand, and a decrease in the value of financial investments in other countries according to the current exchange rate announced by the Czech National Bank for the Czech koruna on the last day of 2006 by a total of CZK 15,775 thousand. During the reported accounting period, shares of Nypro – hutní prodej, a. s., were sold. See the comments on the Profit and Loss Account for details of the impact of the sale on the income from operations. Current assets accounted for 67.7% of total assets.

EVENTS RECORDED AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE AND OUTLOOK FOR 2007 As part of its new activities, Ferona founded a subsidiary, Ferona Polska S.A., to promote warehouse-based wholesale business in Poland. Topham Eisen- und Stahlhandels-G.m.b.H., Vienna, Austria, in which Ferona held an ownership interest, entered into liquidation. Due to the small amount of the ownership interest, this will not have any impact on the company's business. Ferona acquired 50% of the shares of Ferona – Dělící centrum, a. s., Ostrava, and became the 100% owner of the company. After the balance sheet date, no events occurred that could have any significant effect on the assessment of the performance, activities and economic position of the company. 49 50 9 DOCUMENTS Auditor's Report w w Financial statements as per 31 December 2006 w Auditor's Report on the consolidated financial statements w Consolidated financial statements as per 31 December 2006 51 9 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS OF FERONA, A.
