Ladies and Gentlemen,

In 2005 Rokita changed it’s name to PCC Rokitato underline our membership of the PCC Group.

PCC Rokita Group earned almost PLN 43 millionin 2005 with PCC Rokita earning a gross profitof PLN 34 million. This means that, compared to2004, Group and Company profit doubled.These record results were achieved by a strongdemand for polyols, chlorine and alkalissupported by increased and stable productionwhich counteracted increases in raw materialprices.

In 2005 PLN 70 million was spent on invest-ments and modernisation. Among other proj-ects, construction of a new polyols plant wascompleted as one of our most important invest-ment projects. Other projects were aimed atincreased production of flame retardants,improved efficiency of the electrolysis plant aswell as new storage facilities for propyleneoxide, ethylene oxide, phosphorus trichloride,phosphorus oxychloride. Another major projectwas to modernise the water treatment plant.

We were also successful in including the area ofthe plant within the Wa∏brzych SpecialEconomic Zone. This now allows us to get pref-erential Company Tax status and proves that thedynamic development of PCC Rokita and itsambitious investment plans have been noticedand appreciated outside the company. Obviously,this will be a strong motivation for further devel-opment.

I now invite you to read the report.

Business activities of PCC AG are based on three divisions:

• energy, chemical, coal and coke raw material trading

• chemical production

• logistics and transportation

The Group, headquartered in Duisburg, Germany,was set up in 1993 and has operating units orrepresentative offices in over 10 Europeancountries plus China and the USA.

A key principle of the PCC Group is to allow theindividual companies to operate in an inde-pendent and entrepreneurial manner whilstproviding the necessary operational and organ-isational support. This allows companies to„grow the business“ and build synergies wher-ever it makes sense. This is especially relevant inthe key areas of production, logistics, energyand common sales development.

As much centralized control as necessary, as much entrepreneurial freedom as possible.

Waldemar Preussner, Chairman of PCC AG

Polyols - third production line

This most significant 2005 investment is aimedat increasing production of Polyols (raw materi-als for production of polyurethane foam used inthe furniture industry). Original capacity wasinsufficient to meet a high and sustained marketdemand. As a result, the decision was taken todouble existing production capacity. Construc-tion of a new Polyols plant with a capacity of30,000 tons/year ended in April 2006.

Increase of flame retardants production

An enhanced range of phosphorus derivatives isamong the most promising new groups of prod-ucts made by PCC Rokita. These are mainlyflame retardants and plasticizers (plastics addi-tives) and sales of these products are constant-ly increasing mainly on the EU, Asian and theUS markets. Over the last few years PCC Rokitahas taken significant steps to develop this rangeof products through a project aimed at increas-ing production capacity of phosphorus flameretardants (by 60%) was completed. A newinvestment aimed at increasing the productioncapacity by a further 65% is currently underimplementation.

Development of propylene and ethyleneoxide storage facilities

Storage facilities for propylene oxide weretripled and for ethylene oxide were doubled dueto increased demand for raw materials causedby the development of the new polyols plant.The investment also included construction of anoxides absorption installation in order to reducesignificantly atmospheric emissions.

Development of storage facilities for phosphorus, PCl3, POCl3

The development of the flame retardants plantand increased demand for raw materials, result-ed in the need to increase storage capacity forphosphorous by 150 tons and for phosphorustrichloride and phosphorus oxychloride by 250tons. At the same time two independent gasabsorption units were installed as well as areserve system resulting in further significantreductions in atmospheric emissions.

Modernisation of the waste-water treatment plant

This investment was aimed at modernising thewaste-water treatment facilities in line withEuropean Union Requirements. A secondaryreason was to reduce waste water emissionsinto the river Odra. Construction work was com-pleted on the first phase of this multi-phasedproject and modernisation of the biologicaltreatment process was commenced.

Surfactants

Surfactants, basic products used for householdcleaning materials and cosmetics, are a majorstrategic development area for PCC Rokita. Abig development of this product group willrequire much more production capacity and, asa result, plans are in place to construct a newsulphonation plant. This will increase produc-tion capacity of anionic surfactants from 10,000to 40,000 tons/year. Connected to this is plantwill be a new non-ionic surfactants plant (non-ionic surfactants - etoxylates are the main rawmaterial used in production of anionic surfac-tants). This plant will have a planned capacity of20,000 tons per year and the possibility ofextension up to 40.000 tons per year.

Phosphorus derivatives

Phosphorus derivatives (flame retardants andplasticizers) are used in the plastics industry andhave very good growth potential. As a result,production capacity was recently increased byover 65% through modernisation of existingfacilities. An investment project is under way tofurther increase capacity by an additional 60%.Preparations for further investment phases areunder way which will be aimed at extending theproduct range and construction of a large phos-phorus derivatives plant.

Polyols

Polyols, raw materials used in production ofpolyurethane foam, are the third major strategicdevelopment area for PCC Rokita. Forecast forthe polyols market (closely connected with thefurniture market) assumes a constant develop-ment which will necessitate increasing produc-tion capacity and product range. Current invest-ments have increased production capacity to60,000 tons/year and preparations are startedfor a further investment to double this capacity.
