The fact, that the MSA, a.s., is today one of leading modern industrial enterprises in the Czech Republic and a significant world manufacturer and supplier of industrial valves, is a result of long-year tradition in production of industrial valves under its own trade mark. Quality production based on experience of several generations of workers and technicians is verified by long-term application in various operational and clima- tic conditions all over the world. Strong position on the market is fruit of active sales policy, The MSA, a.s. manufactures and supplies industrial valves of its own design manufactured in compliance with internationally approved technical standards ČSN, EN, API, ANSI and GOST. The valves manufactured by the MSA, a.s., have been applied in following branches of industry: • Transport and processing of oil • Transport, distribution and processing of gas • Chemical industry • Nuclear and classic energetics, heating industry and heat networks • For special applications Basic production series of valves is divided into four product segments: page 2 P ro d u c t C h a ra c t e r i s t i c Application Gate valves, globe valves, swing check valves Stop valves made of cast semiproducts.

The first half of the year was devoted to preparation of the company to sale by its original shareholders. It is quite clear that the management of the company business and economic indicators was subjected to this target. During the takeover of the Company an audit was performed, and the Board of Directors and the Management of the company were acquainted with the results thereof at the end of the period. The audit showed us the real state of the Company at the moment of the takeover and provided us stimulations for further work and recomended the direction in which the Company should develop in the field of improvement of the management and organization of work. The production and business potential and good competitive ability are the most important positive aspects of the MSA, a.s., while preparation and assurance of the plan, no motivation program, poor quality of intercompany communication or insufficient personnel policy are not very good features. In the second half of the year the Board of Directors made efforts to maintain stabile run of the Company and to fulfill planned results for 2006. In the same time the acquaintance with the organization of work and with the employees was performed. In 2006 the Company achieved record growth of receivables amounting to 1 721 mil. CZK, which represents increase by 52.3 % in comparison with the preceding period. This result was achieved by getting orders from new territories, especially those in Asia, as e.g. Indonesia, Singapoor or China. These orders were supported by the growth of receivables at the buyers from traditional destinations, as the Czech Republic, Russian Federation or west and south Europe. However the Company cannot be satisfied with the achieved results, it is taking steps leading to maintenance and improvement of these positions in future. Therefore the plans of business, production and investment activities in 2007 were prepared and approved by the shareholders at the end of the year. In spite of the above mentioned good results, we are aware of drawbacks that had impact on final economic results of the Company, as e.g. fulfillment of not very profitable con- page 8 / A N N UA L R E P O RT 2 0 0 6 tracts and non-performance of contracting term of fulfilment, that resulted in charging us with penalty by the buyer. The unprofitability of contracts was caused particularly due to non-planned significant increase of input prices of some types of material at the half of 2006 especially in orders placed in this period. In this connection I would like to stress that the new shareholders could have cancelled these contracts in spite of the risk of future penalty due to failing to perform them and possible loss of business contacts. However it is possible to suppose that future losses as penalty from unprofitable contracts or loss of good name of the company at the buyers would have been considerably worse than the decrease of profit and penalization for delayed performance. Another negative consequence of cancellation of these contracts would have caused lower utilization of existing production capacities, higher overhead costs and loss of employees opportunities in the MSA, a.s. Therefore the Board of Directors decided to continue to fulfill these contract in spite of their being unprofitable, because this fulfillment may support existing and achievement of new business contracts in future. Further steps in near future are to be taken in the field of production program innovation. The Company tries to extend the number of material types at forged steel ball valves and in the same time to extend the aplication of these valves for extreme conditions, as e.g. – 200 °C. The through condiut gate valves are another group of products we are going to focus on and to develop them further. In 2006 we produced 10 pcs of these valves and we have achieved contracts for more than hundred pieces in sizes DN 300 up to 1000. We and the Management of the company are going to focus on gradually improvement of the economy of the company, on introduction of changes in the managing system of control, in planning, in improvement of intrecompany communication and cooperation between individual departments. I hope that this year is going to be at least as successful as the preceding year, that we are going to achieve further development of the company and improve economic situation not only in compliance with the aims of the shareholder, but for the benefit of all employees as well.

The receivables volume over 1.7 milliard CZK was achieved, which is a record in the modern history of the Company. The sale of valves of our own production has decisive share in annual volume of sales. The sales development definitely shows the stability and the rising of growth trends of the Company.

Therefore the former privileged position of Other Pakistan Russia Poland Germany Czech Republic the USA as to the realized volumes of our sales has been gradually replaced by the countries with more convenient prices as the South Corea, China, Turkey etc. India Great Britain Indonesia Turkey China USA South Korea 15 % 10 % 5% 0% Assortment structure in 2006 The assortment structure reflects a long-term successful Company´s effort to manufacture economically advantageable and marketable assortment of ball valves with high inner diameters and in demanding constructions as far as the material and design are concerned. In 2006 the share of ball valves in the products portfolio achieved total volume over 85 % at the expense of mostly ANSI program valves, that decreased from its historical maximum in 1998 (approx. 70 %) gradually to less than 8 % in this year. 0 % 20 % 40 % When seeking for final users the Company uses many distribution channels. In China e.g. there has been developed a successful cooperation by means of the office in Peking, the network of contractors and representatives has been spread (e.g. in Pakistan etc.), the contacts with new distributor firms are being sought. In 2006 the Company participated in many significant events and trade fairs, professionally focused on industrial valves and their application, in order to support sale activities. It was first of all participation in traditional international world meeting of valve manufacturer VALVE WORLD 2006 in Maastricht, where the MSA, a.s. presented its exposition. The Company was successful on the international trade fair of firms operating in the field of gas and oil industries CIPPE 2006 in China or on a similar trade fair POGEE PAKISTAN 2006. The MSA, a.s. exhibited together with its business partners on traditional events as the INTERNATIONAL TECHNI- 60 % Other 2,9 % JE valves 1,0 % DIN valves 3,5 % ANSI valves 7,5 % Ball valves 85,1 % 80 % 100 % CAL FAIR in Bulgarian Plovdiv, oil and gas trade fair TUROGE 2006 in Turkish Ankara or on Polish trade fair NAFTA I GAZ in Warsaw etc. Poland is a stabile market segment of the Company. The MSA, a.s. has linked to successful deliveries of valves for a new Przyjazn oil pipeline realized by the oil pipeline operator the PERN Plock S.A. In the course of a 30-year cooperation of both companies hundreds of valves have been delivered for almost 2500 km oil and fuel pipeline distributions, including the deliveries for individual equipments as e.g. oil tanks assuring strategic oil stock for PKN Orlen refinery, the LOTOS Gdaňsk, individual pumping stations, the terminal in Gdansk etc. Long-term cooperation of MSA, a.s. technicians and the operator supported the design of through conduit gate valves and high size valves in the present form and quality. / A N N UA L R E P O RT 2 0 0 6 page 13 The success with the new customers in the south Europe countries, expecially Romania, are rather stimulant. The deliveries of the MSA, a.s. to Romania were very rare until 2005. Thanks to Borankol project with a Romanian firm as a main contractor the company returned again to the consciouceness of Romanian final users. In addition to the above mentioned current project, contact with other subjects was arranged that lead to a contract on delivery of ball valves for one of the largest Romanian gas distributors at the end of 2006. In 2006 the MSA, a.s. managed to get a big and significant contract for delivery of 256 pcs ball valves for oil pipeline project in China – the West Crude Oil Pipeline. This order was one of the biggest in 2006 (approx. 7 mil. USD). The MSA, a.s. achieved a significant position at the Chinese state owned firm CPMEC. In the same time the increasing business connections with Pakistan went on. The MSA, a.s. delivers ball valves to state-owned firms SSGC Karachi and SNGPL Lahore for Pakistan gas-net projects. In Greece the business transactions are being made with the valve producer who completes the assortment of the MSA, a.s. production. The ball valve have been delivered for a Belgium contractor for the construction of compresion station on the border between Greece and Turkey. The MSA, a.s. has also linked on good references from previous deliveries in India and achieved a few further contracts on ball valves for gas pipelines including some brand-new customers. By means of an Austrian supplier we managed to penetrete to the Balkan, to Serbia and Slovenia, and the valves have been delivered to the main gas distributors in these countries. In 2006 the Company delivered more than 200 pcs ball valves for the South Sumatera - West Java Gas Pipeline project.The final user is an Indonesian state-owned firm PGN and the volume of all orders amounted to approx. 6.5 mil. USD. At the end of the year the installations of ball valves were started and are going to continue in the next year. The delivery of valves into the traditional territories of west Europe can also be evaluated positively. In 2006 the Company cooperated with the BOTAS, a turkish state-owned firm. The MSA, a.s. has delivered ball valves for some significant projects, as e.g. the Azerbayian - Turkey NGPL project, Turkey - Greece NGPL project, East Black Sea project and for Hanak a Sivas Compressor station. The total volume of all orders exceeded 5.5 mil. USD. In addition to the mentioned projects further 552 big valves were delivered to this region as spare parts for the BTC project in total amount of approx. 2.8 mil. USD. The volume of sale to the South Corea achieved in 2006 record values due to successful cooperation with the KOGAS company. This trend will obviously be maintained in future. The MSA, a.s. made efforts to expand deliveries to Saudi Arabia where the requirements on special materials are ever more frequent (Saudi Aramco). The references in page 14 / A N N UA L R E P O RT 2 0 0 6 Saudi Arabia may support our entry to further markets in this region (Qatar, Oman, UAE). The American company Zy-Tech Global Industries, Inc. is and remains a long-term supplier of ANSI valves to American market, in spite of goal-directed regulated decrease of the deliveries. We also have to mention home market with traditional buyers - the gas industry and power engineering company RWE TRANSGAS, ČEZ, a.s. and some other regional energy distributors etc. The territory of Russian market also belongs among the main activities of the Sale department. It has been transferred into the competence of the partner company MSA-KTS Moscow after their owners and busines strategy have been changed in 2006. • P U R C H A S E The priorities in the production program have changed after the change of the firm´s owners. The manufacture of through conduit gate valves has been substantially extended and in the same time the ball valves manufacture has increased, the manufacture of the ANSI valves has been reduced and new possibilities of delivery of valves for nuclear power engineering started to be sought. Due to the mentioned changes the requirements on delivery of castings for through conduit gate valves has also increased. Cooperation with the Žďas, a.s. foundry was renewed, and new possibility of cooperation with foundries in France have been sought. The contacts with the Tamaris firm have been successfully established and in comparison with the preceding periods the volumes of casting delivery for this assortment from ČKD Kutná hora a.s. increased. In the field of the ANSI and DIN program, where the production has been reduced, the deliveries were focused on the ROUČKA SLÉVÁRNA a.s., the traditional and most significant supplier of castings. The deliveries of castings from Asian countries were terminated due to limitation of gate valves, swing check valve and globe valves for the Zy-tech, and in- tensive searching of new suppliers of semiproducts for ball valve production and negotiations with them started due to increased demand on this product. The cooperation with Italian and Romanian forging producers continued for assuring the deliveries in required quality and at prices to increase the compatitiveness of the MSA, a.s. in the world market. The steep increase of ball valve manufacture was connected with the increase of need to delivery necessary quantity of finished balls, valve seats and gears. Intensive negotiations with the suppliers of these components in Italy and Romania were opened. For the purpose of quality stabilization and timely fulfillment of deliveries of forgings further steps were taken in the field of selection of suppliers of finished balls and seats with smaller inner diameter from Italy and China. In the same time negotiations with the actuator manufacturers have been performed in order to fasten mutual cooperation in the field of timely fulfillment with suppliers of these important valve components. New suppliers have been searched for deliveries of all other purchased components and semiproducts so that the delivery of such components may be assured and individual orders may be completed without any problem. • P R O D U C T I O N In 2006 the recovery and modernization of production basis continued with the aim of the removal of capacity disproportion and completion of missing workplaces. acquired for valves with NPS 6“- 28“ size, wherewith the testing capacities have increased and the testing and measuring process improved due to computer control with record of the testing results. First of all – a new horizontal machining centre FSQ 100 from TOS Kuřim was realized. It is a modern and progressive machine with two replaceable technologic pallets, automatic tool replacement and with the Sinumerik 840 D CNC control system. The machine brought high reduction of labour intensity as number of various operations is substantially lower, and additional setting operations have been reduced. Following measures have also be taken: the NA 06 welding equipment was modernized, the INVERTEC and WELDFORCE welding sources purchased; investment into transportation and handling method (highlift trucks); complementation of the high-pressure testing shop by a testing circuit for high-pressure valves, functional tests; reconstruction of the floor in facilities; purchase of measuring technology etc. Another big investment was acquiring of welding equipment from the OERLIKON firm for welding final welds into a narrow space between two welding heads for ball valves and through conduit gate valves S85. Complete overhaul of numerical controled CNC vertical boring mills SKQ 20 including modernization of control system, general overhaul of horizontal boring mills and turning machines have continually continued. The turning and boring mill SKJ 25/50 was elevated for new assortment of S85 valves with high inner diameter. On the basis of customers requirements on valve quality surface treatment the PROFIMIX 2000 equipment was bought for application of two-component polyurethan coating substances. In the field of testing of valves a new test block was / A N N UA L R E P O RT 2 0 0 6 page 15 • R E S E A R C H A N D D E V E L O P M E N T The research and development are steps preceding manufacture and sale of new and special valves. They involve many assignments beginning with special calculations for verifying static and dynamic properties of valves, verification of the suitability of technological and production processes up to final testing of service life, validation and verification of suitability of new valves for particular application. In 2006 the development of through conduit gate valves DN 700 to DN 1000 designated for working pressure 10 MPa was finished, the validation of ball valves DN 50 to DN 1400 was also finished, and the working parameters of ball valves, gate valves and swing check valves for operation temperature up to –50 °C verified. 2006 can be characterized as a year when the production portfolio of MSA, a.s. has been extended by completely new valves and by valves with quite new parameters when compared with the original ones, which makes it possible to apply them for special purposes in the operation. Therefore intensive development and research was started to focus on: • Testing service life of ball valves in the testing shop of significant customers, where their suitability and reliability for the whole period of their operation is verified, • Type testing of service life and seismic resistance of through condiut gate valves DN 700 to DN 1200 for working pressure 10 MPa • Swing check valves DN 700 to DN 1000, PN 100 with damper for petroleum products, • Wedge gate valves DN 200 to DN 1000, PN 25 to PN 100 with guaranteed tightness on inlet and outlet side (the so called Double Block and Bleed) • Through conduit gate valves DN 500 to DN 1200, PN 16 to PN 100 for natural gas and oil products to be used in seismically active regions • Ball valves DN 50 to DN 1400, PN 100 to PN 250 for operation under sea level up to the depth 500 m (the so called Subsea ball valves), • Ball valves DN 50 to DN 1000, PN 25 to PN 250 designated for temperatures up to -200 °C (the so called cryogenic ball valves). • Q U A L I T Y M A N A G E M E N T The MSA, a.s. has been granted many process and product certifications enabling to supply products to foreign and home markets. System certificates The most important certificates covering the processes of the whole company: • API • ISO Import certificates Certificates connected with requirements of national standards exporting countries (Russian federation Kazakhstan, Ukraine): • GOST-R • AD 2000 HPO / TRD201/ EN 729-2 (connected with technical requirements on products, serves as an instrument for re-verification of reliability performance of the system).

The conformity of selected products shall be proved for export into the countries of European Union according to Regulations EU PED 97/23 EG (CE, modul H) – there is also duty to prove conformity by an authorized testing establishment at selected products supplied to Czech market. Within the framework of categorization of purpose certifications the certification proces (proof of conformity) was opened on inexplosive type of construction (ATEX) and equipment of operation reliability (SIL) for selected MSA, a.s. assortment. • H U M A N R E S O U R C E S In 2006 the HR department was focused especially on recruitment and maintaining of high qualified employees.

Tangible fixed assets up to 40 thousand CZK and intangible fixed assets up to 60 thousand CZK are not recorded in the Balance Sheet and are charged as expense at its purchase, or at its consumption, except for assets purchased after the leasing termination which are recorded at purchase price or at reproduction price as tangible fixed assets, except from the models, which are recorded as other tangible fixed assets, and except from computer technology, which is also recorded as tangible fixed assets. The expenses for repairs and maintenance of tangible and intangible fixed assets are charged directly into the costs. Technical valuation of assets exceeding the sum determined by Income Tax Act is capitalised into the value of assets. Depreciation and amortization methods Tangible fixed assets are depreciated and intangible fixed assets are amortized according to a depreciation/amortization plan indirectly through adjustments based on expected operating life. These rates differ from those used for accounting purposes. The depreciation of the tangible fixed assets and the amortization of the intangible fixed assets begins in a month following the month when the assets were integrated into utilisation, except from the technical valuation, which is depreciated since the month of capitalisation. In case of disposal of assets, which are not fully depreciated, the last depreciation is recorded in the month preceding the month of disposal. The following chart shows methods and terms of depreciation/amortization according to groups of assets: Assets Method Depreciation/Amortization Period Buildings Linear 20 – 77 years Machines and instruments Linear 4 – 17 years Cars and other motor vehicles Linear 4 – 17 years Other intangible assets Linear 5 years Software Linear 4 years (b) Long-term financial assets Stocks and shares of the company which represent the participation with dominant and important influence are evaluated by acquisition price. Other stocks and shares are evaluated by the real value at the end of the balance sheet day. (c) Inventory Material inventory are valued at fixed, pre-determined acquisition prices, the difference between the fixed price and actual acquisition price and expenses related to acquisition (customs, freight, certificates etc.) is recorded separately. The variance from the actual acquisition price and expenses related to inventory of material acquisition are dissolved to expenses on monthly basis, depending on the decrease in material inventory and according to pre-determined method. Inventory of material produced by own activities, inventory of work-in progress and finished product inventory are valuated at own production costs involving direct costs, production overheads and provision overheads depending on the stage of completion. Inventory of goods are valuated at acquisition price. / A N N UA L R E P O RT 2 0 0 6 page 27 Financial part (d) Adjustment and reserve determination The company creates adjustments to tangible fixed assets, long-term financial assets, debts and inventory. Tangible fixed assets Adjustment to tangible fixed assets is created on the basis of the applicability analysis. Long-term financial assets Adjustment to long-term financial assets is created by the company in the amount of the difference between the valuation of long-term financial assets and the amount of shareholders´ capital, if it is lower than the valuation of long-term financial assets. Debts The company determines the adjustment to doubtful debts on the basis of own analysis of client’s solvency. Inventory Adjustments are created on the basis of an individual analysis of the inventory age structure and then in case of inventory inefficiency regarding to current production program. Reserve creation The company creates reserves for its future liabilities. As at the date of the Financial Statement, the company has created a reserve for warranty repairs of its products and a reserve for conventional fines not yet invoiced. (e) Foreign currency conversion In order to calculate foreign currency conversions for a foreign currency transaction during a fiscal year, the company uses the Czech National Bank’s exchange rate applying to the company and valid on the date following its announcement by the Czech National Bank, except for: foreign currency cash withdrawals, where the company uses the exchange rate of commercial bank valid on the day of withdrawal; payments in a foreign currency which the bank does not accept and the payment is credited to a CZK account and converted by means of the bank’s exchange rate; conversion of domestic supplier invoices made out in a foreign currency, where the supplier’s exchange rate is used. As at the date of the Financial Statements, all the assets and liabilities record kept in foreign currencies have been converted to CZK by means of the exchange rate announced by the Czech National Bank on the Financial Statement date – in accordance with Section 24, Clause 2, Item a), of the Accounting Act No. 563/1991 of the Czech Collection. Exchange rate profits and losses are recorded in the Profit and Loss Account. (f) Derivates Derivates are valuated according to Section 52 and 53 of the Decree No. 500/2002 of the Czech Code Collection, as amended. The company has decided to treat all derivates as those held for trading. The change of real value was recorded into the Profit and Loss Account. (g) Research and development Research and development costs (expenses) are monitored in manufacturing orders through work-in progress. The total value of individual manufacturing orders completed in the given year is capitalised and fully amortized to expenses. Material results of research and development activities are recorded in sub-ledger accounts at acquisition prices. page 28 / A N N UA L R E P O RT 2 0 0 6 Financial part (h) Leased assets The company records the assets held under finance leases as follows: the leasing payments are included in expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Upon the lease termination and purchase of the object of leasing, the object is included in assets at purchase price or reproduction price.
