Introduction

the assessed year of 2010 was for our company, P-D Refractories CZ a.s. Velké Opatovice, compared to 2009, when the majority of industries were impacted by the worldwide economic crisis, a year with a slight growth. In several of our consumer areas the initial panic regarding possible and hardly predictable impacts of the crisis eased off, the redevelopment and cost saving measures adopted on the central level but mainly within individual companies started to fulfil their purpose and some areas even surpassed recession and returned to growth trends.

This growth can be well demonstrated in the steel production that is for our refractory industry the most important quantitatively but also the most determinant. Worldwide, the steel production saw growth of an excellent 15% in 2010 compared to 2009, in Europe 18.6% and in the EU even 25%. Even though it is naturally known that the main driver of the steel production growth is China where there was even no drop in 2009, the relatively strong growth index in other territories is a positive signal. This was also shown in many other consumer areas, such as cement, glass or aluminium production. The crisis, on the other hand, continued in ceramics which is closely linked to the construction industry.

What did this data describing basic features of an entrepreneurial environment mean specifically in 2010 for our company? To a certain extent we could still derive benefits from big projects which had started in the pre-crisis time. These are projects for the world-leading ArcelorMittal USA, for the aluminium manufacturer AD Kombinat Podgorica from Monte Negro, Moravian glassworks Vetropack Kyjov or French glass manufacturer Saint Gobain. Absolutely exceptional success is the continuous penetration of our silica in the Chinese glass markets. Another quite interesting phenomenon was a growth of small jobs for small and medium enterprises. This seems to be a result of a change in the behaviour of companies after the crisis; this may be a sign of a meticulous cost management.

Of course, all contracts that we have won so far are a result of an intensive and systematic effort of the sales department; the total volume of our sold products in the amount of 83,000 t

means a growth by more than 6%, compared to 2009, which equals our results back in 2004. Revenues were thus slightly over 1B CZK, index app. 101% , which confirms a significant price pressure, i.e. again a consequence from the crisis. This factor is reflected accordingly in the operations result in the amount of 87 mil. CZK, which meant index of 87%. Here I need to mention the unfavourable influence of the growth in material input prices and this increase could not be compensated even by cost savings in energy consumption where as part of the M&T project we cooperate with the Enviros company. We can evaluate the cost savings in remuneration highly positively – it exceeded 5% while the average wage grew by 6%. This is due to the continuation of the programme with the aim to increase productivity which we have been implementing since 2008. In 2010, the productivity increased by 8% compared to 2009.

Very positive operations results were influenced negatively by financial results where we were affected, as a company exporting 70% of our products, by the development of the CZK exchange rate so the total result for 2010 after taking into account financial results was 48,8M CZK.

Based on the aforementioned it is clear that we can consider results of our company as very positive. We were definitely pursuing our strategic objective, i.e. to continuously increase our competitiveness. We have seen significant changes even in areas that determine the competitiveness, i.e. an increase of quality of our production and labour productivity as well as cost efficiencies. Our good results are also proven by the awards we received in 2010. Within the 16th year of CZECH TOP 100 we achieved the “AAA” ČEKIA Stability Award rating. For the third time we were awarded “The best manufacturer of the year”, this time in the category of companies with over 150 employees.

We have achieved these results thanks to outstanding daily work and efforts to manage more and more challenging tasks; therefore, I would like to sincerely thank all our employees for their contribution and hard work in 2010.

I would also like to thank our business partners and cooperating companies for their help, support and collaboration.

Dear shareholders, dear business partners,

Ing. Ladislav KašparManaging Director of the Company


The History of the Company

The prospecting rights for the shaft mining of fireclay in Březinská basin, which later became a basic raw material for production of refractory products in Velké Opatovice, were granted in the year 1852. (Currently the company has only one mining operation – quarry Březinka, which started up in the year 1961).

In a process of gradual development these rights were acquired by a company owned by Mr. Messner and Mr. Pohl, who also financed the construction of the fireclay factory in Velké Opatovice, which, in the year 1892, launched the production of fireclay bricks primarily for the use of the Ostrava iron works.

The factory was gradually expanded and after general reconstruction in 1958–60 it took on the appearance of what is now known as the “Old Fireclay Plant”.

Between the years 1960-65 a new operation was established and given the name „New Fireclay Plant“ which still represents the current appearance of the Velké Opatovice facility.

The company expanded to Svitavy, mainly due to the establishment of silica production during the years 1981–85.

In the course of historical progress the inner organisational divisions of the company came about and also its connections

with larger entities. Moravské šamotové and lupkové závody were established during the post-war period, after the 1st January 1950 first as a national entreprise, later as a state enterprise and in the end as a joint stock company; since 2002 with the name “P-D Refractories CZ a.s. Velké Opatovice“.

The privatisation of the company was carried out in the form of coupon privatisation. At the end of the year 2000, the P-D Glas-und Feuerfestwerke Wetro GmbH Company bought the majority parcel of shares. At present our company, P-D Refractories CZ a.s., is a member of the trans-national group of manufacturers of refractory products, P-D Refractories, operating as part of the Preiss-Daimler Group, which is also developing business activities in other fields.

At present, the basic production units of the division are operating in Velké Opatovice (Old and New Fireclay Plant), Svitavy (“Dinaska” Silica Plant), Březina (“Anna” Burning Plant) and Březinka (Mining). The historic date was 15th October 2009 when deep mining in the Březinka mine was finished. The further mining continues in a re-opened quarry in the same area. To the divisions producing refractory materials are assigned another two units with different production programmes, namely the Service Division and the Landfill Division. The Service Division gradually becomes a general contractor for moulds for all the companies associated in the P-D Group producing refractory materials.

The History of the Company


2010 Assessment

In the assessed year of 2010 we reached the ten-year

history milestone of our joint-stock company being a

part of P-D Group. The share of the parent company,

P-D Industriegesellschaft mbH Puschwitz, remained at

89,9%, i.e. practically with no change for the past year

as the number of owned shares was increased only by

100 pieces, so at the end of the year the company held

650,653 shares. The remaining nominative shares are

held by the other 416 physical and legal entities; out

of those three shareholders acting in accordance own

9.94 % in total, the others hold only a small number of

shares; however no single individual’s shares exceed

0.6%.

This fact is a reason for no change in manufacturing-

technological and business cooperation with other

companies across the Group. This especially concerns

our supplies of steel and wooden moulds to affiliated

companies in Germany, representing almost one fourth

of the entire production; however, subcontracting

refractory materials is financially more important. Our

total performance to the Group was invoiced in the

total amount of 4,516K EUR in 2010. On the other hand,

1,116K EUR was charged back - 2/3 of it was purchasing

materials from our Slovenian affiliated company P-D

Kremen d.o.o.. There has been virtually no business

activity with our parent company.

There have not been any changes regarding holding

equity in our company. The 100% ownership of IZOKER

s.r.o. is still in place; however, this company has not

been functional since its establishment. On the other

hand, there were frequent business activities with the

aforementioned P-D Kremen d.o.o. Dolenje Mokro Polje

in which we own 50% of the business share and also in

2010, we were its biggest business partner.

Relations between our company and other companies are

described in detail in the Board of Directors’ report about

relationships among interconnected entities which forms

a part of this annual report.

The assessed year did not see any change in the

management of the joint-stock company which continues

to be run by 4 members of the Board of Directors and

controlled by the 3-member Advisory Board. In March

2010 the employee elections into the Advisory Board

were held: their results saw the re-election of Ing.

Vladislava Bomberová for another four-year-office term.

(more details concerning members of the Board of

Directors and Advisory Board can be found in the next

part of this annual report).

The company’s organisational structure has remained as

it was in 2009. There was also no change in managerial

positions. The only exception was to task Ing. Miroslav

Šteiner with running the entire Březinka site, i.e. Division

12 – Mining, as well as Division 5 – Waste site.

The organisational structure is closely linked to the staffing

in individual divisions and departments. In 2010 again,

the company management as well as individual divisions

mainly focused on increasing labour productivity. The

third year of this project saw a further positive progress.

Although production experienced increase in tonnage of

final products by 5.5%, the entire number of work hours

decreased by 60 thousand, i.e. by 5.5% and the need for

human labour per 1 tonne of products decreased from 9.71

to 8.96 hours. Overtime was almost eliminated and the

headcount dropped by 49, out of which 6 are technical-

administrative employees and 43 blue collar employees.

There were 79 women working for the company.

Regarding the company assets, there has been no financial

investment, i.e. acquisition of a business share in another

company or abstraction of any shares, owned in the past,

or abstraction of any part of the company. In the area of

properties there were some new plots acquired and in one

case even exchanged but all in insignificant volumes. The

important part, also from the ecology point of view, was

recultivation of the Březinka I waste site which even after

the recultivation stays in the ownership of the company so

that it can be continuously monitored.

1. Organisation and Property and Legal Areas


2010 Assessment

Fireclay bricksAfter a significant drop in production and sales in 2009 in comparison to 2008, 2010 brought a slight revival. The entire sales for 2010 exceeded 30,000 t, which meant an increase of more than 18%; this volume takes us to the level of our 2005 results. From the point of view of external factors, it needs to be said that the lack of new projects in the critical consumer areas, i.e. steel, glass and aluminium production, continued. The exceptions were supplies of our fireclay and high alumina products for a hot blast stove in the Indiana Harbor steelworks USA, which belongs to the world-leading ArcelorMittal steelworks and from 2009 continuing project of hot blast stove repair by the same steel manufacturer in Hamilton, Canada. In the area of aluminium production we won a contract to construct an anode furnace for AD Kombinat Podgorica in Monte Negro. Regarding glass works, we need to mention fireclay supplies to repair the glass-making furnace for Vetropack Kyjev and also for Saint Gobain in Bad Wurzach. The supply of fireclay bricks for coke ovens to repair a coke battery No. 12 for Třinecké železárny a.s. Třinec (ironworks) was quite significant as well. Italian company Unistara remained a traditionally strong customer. A stable level of production and sales of stove fireclay, which is a key product of our D01 Old Fireclay Plant, is encouraging as well. Another positive trend is a development of customer base in cement industry, especially thanks to a higher use of our alkali-resistant fireclay. We were pleased with the development in supplies of insulating bricks, especially through our affiliated companies.

Silica bricksThese products saw very good results in production and sales. In comparison with 2009, we achieved growth of 14.5% and in sales growth exceeded even 21%. The main contributors to this were supplies of silica bricks for domestic repair projects of coke batteries in TŽ Třinec ironworks and OKK Ostrava. Also, silica bricks for glass works reached very interesting volumes and growth: here we need to mention our success in the Chinese

market where we supplied our silica bricks to 4 glass oven projects. On the other hand, recession continued with our Russian glassmakers; in addition, our traditional customer Saint Gobain Packaging has not re-started its development activities yet.

Magnetite bricksThroughout the last year, a declining trend unfortunately continued – in sales as well as in production. This is due to the real current need for this product which, as a result of energy prices, is decreasing. On the other hand, we keep expanding the portfolio of our customers in the European market and maintaining the portfolio in Japan.

Ceramic chimney pipesThis product has been developing most dynamically in the past years. Sales increased by more than 20%; this product is crucial from the work load point of view, not only for our D03 Dinaska (Silica Plant) Svitavy but also for D01 Old Fireclay Plant. In addition, as this product is intended for consumer markets, it is possible to plan its production to ensure the most balanced use of our capacities.

Burned claystonesThanks to growth in the production of fireclay bricks in D02 New Fireclay Plant, increased volumes of production and sales by 9 % and 13 % respectively were reached. Supplies for other customers, domestic or foreign, remained roughly on the same level.

Other productsIn the area of unshaped products, besides mastics and mortars manufactured in D06 Anna Burning Plant Březina, we saw sales reduced by 15% in total; however, the biggest drop was in castables, almost by half. Refractory clays remained on an almost similar production and sales level. Exceptional one-off distribution of clay in the amount exceeding 22,000 t was realised to seal our waste site run by D05 Waste Site Březinka.

2010 Assessment

3. Quality Management Control of Products

In 2010 our company further expanded our implemented

Integrated Management System (IMS). Its historic

and fundamental part related to customer service is

a certified QMS according to the EN ISO 9001:2008

norm. This QMS was successfully, with no issues,

re-certified last year. As a result of this we acquired CQS

and IQNet certificates for the entire production line of our

company. A separate part of the system certification is

a certification of the production management of chimney

pipes according to the EN 1457:19999/A1:2002 norm

which was again successfully monitored last year.

Our company is a customer-oriented company. Meeting

customer requirements fully while considering the

environment and health and safety of all present

employees, not only ours, is a basic attribute of the

way our company operates. This is expressed in the

valid IMS Policy which is reflected every year in specific

and measurable IMS objectives. Significant attention is

dedicated to assessing customer satisfaction.

In order to validate our products as well as efficiency

of all our processes, our company has all necessary

resources that consist of a meticulous final inspection,

sufficient capacities and technology for testing, centrally

managed metrology, normalisation and technical

normalisation service. All product groups were also

successfully subject to the product certification in

compliance with Act No. 22/1997 Coll. All products

are equipped with a Safety Certificate in accordance

with the Regulations of the European Parliament and

Council (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH) and protocols about

radionuclide safety. As a standard, all norm or required

quality certificates are being issued.

We still regard the area of technology development,

progress and innovation as one of our greatest advantages.

The new products that need to be mentioned are the

completion of the development of ramming mass on the

basis of fused silica (KSD 96 / 6 and KSD 99 / 6) and

shaped pieces (KS98F), manufactured by using the vibro-

cast technology. A significant development continues in

innovation of insulating materials produced by the

dry press process (SL10C150, SL10P135, SL6C130,

SL6P-125, SL8C-135), and also produced by the vibro-

cast technology (A90FLK). We developed materials

for chemical industry (A90KP and A90TK) including

unshaped refractory materials (Procast ZBU155-25SiC/6,

Proterm ZBL 170-1,5/5, Rudokit SILATERM, Rudomal

HAFT and Rudomal HAFT 90).

A very important moment for QMS and technology

development is an almost finalised investment grant

programme Potenciál, the objective of which is to

increase capacity of laboratories in our company.


2010 Assessment

The entire amount of investments in the last year was

57,307K CZK.

This comprised of:

Supplier’s investments 37,472K CZK

Moulds for own usage 17,509K CZK

Others 2,326K CZK

The most important investments were the following:

• Modernisation of the shuttle kiln

in Svitavy as part of the EKOENERGIE II

grant programme 12,802K CZK

• Equipping laboratories and development

departments with lab appliances as part

of the POTENCIÁL grant programme 5,161K CZK

• Raw materials preparation area:

– transferring the dispensary line into the

HARD hall and expanding by mixing line 8,791K CZK

– partial modernisation of scaling system

in the NŠ hall 1,914K CZK

In 2010 we started ‘Modernisation of the tunnel kiln No. 4’,

an important event as part of the EKOENERGIE II grant

programme.

The emission verification confirmed the CO2 production in the

amount of 24,145 t.

All realised activities complied with the articles approved by

the Advisory Board of the company.

5. Technical and investment development

4. Health and safety

In the previous period an average number of employees

with health insurance reached 625 in our company.

Illnesses and injuries have led to the following sick leave

data (in calendar days):

A number of sick leaves

(last year 257) total 206

Due to illness total 162

Due to other injuries total 19

Due to work injury total 25

A number of calendar days of sick leave

(last year 11,973) total 9,381

Due to illness total 6,479

Due to other injuries total 1,266

Due to work injury total 1,636

The list clearly shows a significant decrease in a number of

work injuries: the 2010/2009 index is 0.69.

Causes of work injuries:

•Handlingandconsequentinjurycausedbyaload

•Contactwithmachinery

•Fallingwhenwalking

•Fallfromheights

•Straincausedbyphysicalwork

All incidents have been investigated, rectifying measures

have been put into place and the affected persons have

been compensated. In 2010, the organisation was resolving

the issue of work hygiene; based on the executed new

measurements, an updated “Job Categorisation’ for the

Velké Opatovice region will be set up in the next few days.


2010 Assessment

6. Economy and Finance

While 2009 brought, as a result of the worldwide crisis, decline in sales and consequently production and the historically best result was achieved due to drastic cost cuts, in 2010 this trend stopped and turned around. Although the crisis implications were still felt, we achieved almost 8% growth in the tonnage of sold products and 5.5% growth in the final production. As a result of lower prices, in particular due to the exchange rate of the Czech Crown, the turnover increased, i.e. its revenues for the sold products and services grew only by less than 1%. This increase by approximately 9M CZK took us back to the turnover level of one billion Czech Crowns.

As opposed to the previous year we decreased our stock reserves of finished and semi-finished production (by 20.9M CZK), which is positive although it lowers the declared company profit.

The overall revenues of the company also contain, as always, the revenue from selling assets and material in the amount of 18.1M CZK; this concerns predominantly sold palettes with supplied products. Other operations revenue is dominated by assigning CO2 permits (10.0M CZK), collected fees for waste disposal (9.4M CZK) and inventory surplus in the amount of 3.1M CZK linked only to the swap in mobile stock items and having a similar cost counter-entry in deficiencies. An exceptional amount in the 2010 revenues is indemnification by insurance companies for an insurance event (10.0M CZK) that was after a longer period of clarification closed and even this amount has a cost counter-entry represented by the damage compensation paid by us.

Financial revenues show mainly the exchange rate profits in the total amount of 14.1M CZK, this time significantly lower than in previous years as especially provisory operations proved, due to the exchange rate development, unprofitable.2010 also recorded a profit as a result of transferring the profit from the Slovenian affiliated branch P-D Kremen Slovinsko in the amount of 2,506K CZK.

The structure of expenses is stable in a long term; however, in 2010 we saw a growth in material consumption (by 14%). This is a result of an increase in prices of raw materials, such as commodities from monopoly suppliers but also a must to execute previously postponed repairs or purchases that could not be postponed anymore. Fortunately, a similar trend was not seen when it comes to energy costs: its total increase was

3% but higher prices were balanced by savings in specific energy consumption areas.

An exceptional increase in service expenses is caused by one-off event – a recultivation of the Březinka I waste site, mostly executed by a third party for 42M CZK. This, however, did not impact the result as it was covered by a financial reserve that had been created over a long period of time. On the other hand, it was beneficial to use our own clay from the overburden, not suitable for production, for this specific purpose.

We continued successfully in the project aiming to increase of labour productivity, which brought further 49 redundancies, elimination of overtime and decrease in sick leave, decrease in personal expenses in the amount exceeding 12 million CZK, i.e. by 4.5 % even when production increased by 5.5 %. The average monthly income (excluding managers) increased to 22,938 CZK, i.e. 106.2 % compared to 2009.

A high negative value in the status of reserves in the 2010 annual balance sheet is exceptional. The reason for this is the aforementioned use of the reserves to recultivate the waste site that exceeds the creation of reserves for the waste site II many times where we, on the other hand, struggle with its reduced use and therefore lower payments to the bank account established for this purpose.

The crucial item in other operations costs is fees for waste disposal (9.9M CZK) and also used CO2 permits (7.0M CZK), deficiencies related to the material entered into the books – see the mentioned swap of stock items in the revenues – especially substrates (2.4M CZK). Damage compensation (10.6M CZK) is exceptional and one-off this time - that was a result of a long-term insurance event that was resolved by insurance companies for the benefit of the company.

A part of the financial expenses shows a significant decrease in bank interests (4.6M CZK, i.e. to 60% compared to the previous year) related to the amount of drawn loans and with the historically lowest bank interest rates. However, the bank charges were higher.The highest amounts are losses due to the exchange rate that in 2010 exceeded the exchange rate profit for the first time. The exchange rate loss from usual business activities (17.6M CZK) was lower than in the previous year but the main


2010 Assessment

impact came from the losses resulting from the past provisory operations (24.5M CZK).

A recent more efficient investment approach has been a reason for decreasing book depreciation by more than 10% compared to 2009.

Our 2010 results show a profit in the amount of 48,821K CZK; there is a reserve for income tax in the amount of 11,579K CZK so the company net profit to be distributed is 37,242K CZK.

Regarding the company property, the balance sum was increased by 27M CZK. In terms of assets, thanks to depreciation being higher than investment, the long-term investment assets declined; the entire stock dropped by 25M CZK in all categories. Even the financial assets dropped by 42M CZK, especially due to using the financial reserve for the waste site. On the other hand, a massive growth was seen in case of claims which increased by 43.6M CZK, as a result of business activities, against the group companies by 64.5M CZK, against the state by 3.2M CZK and only claims from provided advance payments to suppliers decreased by 2.6M CZK. Out of the total amount of claims, 38M CZK is past the payment deadline on the date of the closure of accounts; however, in 2010, there was no significant debt uncollectible.

Regarding expenses for future periods there is a time differentiation in expenses linked to quarry overburden.

In the area of liabilities – resources financing assets – it is necessary to point out the second year of being charged an obligation as result of negative evaluation of financial derivates (counter-value is with a minus sign charged in capital funds). The hypothetical character of these items is demonstrated by their decrease by 88.1M CZK compared to the last year.

Only a slight increase was seen in obligations to suppliers (by 5.9M CZK); during the last year all payments were realised within agreed payment deadlines and the amount recorded as obligations past the deadline is linked to administrative and technical aspects – clarifying discrepancies in deliveries, accumulation of sums for the subsequent entry into the books and marginally, even a dissolution of a creditor’s company.

The obligation to employees increased (by 5.8M CZK), represented by their increased deposits in the internal savings company. Here we need to count with a reduction in this external financial source as a savings bank cannot, due to

legal reasons, continue to exist after 30.4.2011 and surely not the entire amount of the current deposits on our employees’ accounts will be subject to the employee fixed loans that were offered to employees.

A higher obligation (by 6M CZK) to the state is linked to the CO2 emission permits that have not been cleared by the date of the closure of accounts.

Problem-free financing of operations as well as investment needs of the company was secured by bank loans. These were increased from the historic minimum at the beginning of 2010 gradually by 73.7M CZK, while investment loans, thanks to regular payments, decreased by 9.6M CZK.

Regarding other obligations not included in the profit and loss statement, the company has a record of 11 open lease contracts at the end of 2010. After paying the lease payments for hydraulic presses Sacmi, the total payments will reach the amount of 5,7M CZK.

Another obligation (without the exact calculation of the amount) outside the profit and loss statement can be regarded the future duty to destroy the tar phenol reservoir in the clay bed, duty to recultivate the plots after previous excavation and a waste site run by us and also maintenance of adjustment of the mine water leak in the former mining area of Hřebeč and now at the closed Březinka mine.

The company is not charged with any obligation due to providing warranty for third parties and does not record any other significant obligations, apart from the mentioned ones, resulting from any concluded business or other contracts.

For the entire year of 2010, the company has been demonstrating a stable financial situation, having no problems with liquidity or with paying all its financial obligations.

Despite the decline in the profit compared to the previous year and therefore decline in the profitability indicators, 2010 can be considered as one of the best years in the modern history of a joint-stock company.

Detailed data from the annual closure of accounts can be found in the other part of this annual report. More detailed comments, compliant with legal requirements, are provided in the appendix to the annual closure of accounts which forms an integral part of the annual report and can be viewed at the Secretariat of the Directorate of the joint-stock company.


Development for 2011

From the point of view of the sales volumes and revenues,

2010 put the decline to a standstill and brought even a slight

increase.

When preparing the 2011 plan we didn’t assume any

extraordinary change to the existing trends. Somehow

optimistic, we expect growth in the sales of fireclay and

silica bricks as well as a slight growth in the area of

unshaped products (mortars, mastics, castables); we also

plan exceptionally higher sales of chimney pipes and only

in case of thermal magnetite bricks we reconcile with

maintaining the current trends.

Although we expect to exceed the sales by 6,380 tonnes

compared to 2010, the pressure of the competition regarding

sales prices and especially a further decline in the export

effectiveness, thanks to the Czech Crown becoming stronger,

allows us to plan only a very small revenue growth. By

mobilising our reserves further, both in raw materials and

energy consumption, and in personnel and other costs, we

aim to grow the profit by approximately 20%.

When preparing our 2011 business plan, in individual areas

of our business we considered the following facts and

defined the below mentioned objectives:

In 2011 we will complete the 10-year period during which

our company has represented the majority of Preiss-Daimler

Group. We will continue to cooperate, more efficiently if

possible, with the three German manufacturers of refractory

materials within P-D Refractories GmbH.

We do not expect any further major changes in the internal

organisational structure of the company after streamlining it

in 2009.

The Slovenian affiliated company, P-D Kremen, in which our

joint-stock company has a 50% share, has been continuously

profitable for several years. Also in 2011 we will be its main

customer (app. 45 % of the total production of quarried

and processed materials), so rightly we expect a dividend

payment in the same amount as in 2010.

As in the previous years, the company and its management

will mainly focus on sales. We continue to be aware of

continuously stronger competitive cheap products from

Asia (China, India) and Eastern Europe (Russia, Ukraine,

Poland,…) in all world markets.

In the sales sectors such as metallurgy, coking industry,

aluminium production and cement and lime works we do

not expect any boom; however, we expect revival in the

glass industry. In case of ceramic chimney pipes we plan a

substantial growth.

Compared to the previous two years when there were big

tonnage projects in our country, we count on partial decline

in the domestic sales that will be based on a higher number

of smaller orders.

We must maintain high quality of our production despite the

pressure on all kinds of costs. This will be ensured by the

Integrated Management System (IMS), recently retained,

which in 2011 will be followed as per the certification plan.

When organising our production, our aim is to use synergies

based on cooperation options among individual divisions.

This is not only about transferring labour forces but about

a purposeful placement of individual pieces of work into

individual divisions and their mutual substitutability.

The important area, in which we need to continue to seek

opportunities for improvement, is initial raw materials and

supplies. Our own supplies with our own internal prices and

purchases from our Slovenian affiliated company will remain

the same in our plan. We need to count with an increase of

2 – 3 % by domestic suppliers; high alumina supplies are

said to increase by 5%, exceptionally even by 8%.

So we will continue to follow (and this concerns also all other

auxiliary supplies, packaging and other purchases including

services) a rigorous cost-efficient regime which has been

implemented during the recent crisis period.

Another important cost item in our sector is energy. Mainly

in case of natural gas the market has been unpredictable

in the past years. A certain solution, for the purposes of

planning, is a fixed price. The fixed price is defined in case

of app. 60% of a predicted annual consumption and such

fixed prices represent a price drop by 12% compared to

the average price in 2010. The purchased electric energy is

also 10% lower in price than in the previous year as in the

end, the Czech Republic decided not to transfer the entire

Basic starting points and objectives of 2011



electrovoltaic costs to consumers. The electric energy price

is fixed throughout the year for the entire consumption.

Water is also considered as energy. While drinking water

was finally secured from our own sources - at the end of

2010 we decreased our expenses in this area to one third,

the main impact on our water expenses in 2011 will have

the working sewage plant. This will totally eliminate costs

of drinking as well as industrial water.

The investment area, besides the mentioned sewage plant,

is again represented mainly by events which we can get

grants for – especially big events. The entire range of

smaller purchases has then a character of the current

machinery renovation and replacement; newly, we’d like to

focus more on the possibility to introduce robots.

An independent section in the investment area (although

we will try to include it in our “expenses”) is completed

implementation of SAP system. This task will impact

practically all work areas of our company as it concerns

modules of production, logistics – sales, purchasing and

also quality, mould production and maintenance.

Besides investment, planning and management of active

assets impacts company liquidity. We will continue to

try to maintain the volume of stock. It is necessary that

any possible increase of some items ensuring smooth

production and maintenance was accompanied by

decreasing such stock items that have a low turnover or

are not selling well.

The other important part of active assets is claims. Here we

cannot ease up on our set criteria the basis of which is claim

insurance and a personal responsibility of everyone who is

responsible for releasing our products into distribution.

In 2011 financing of the company will continue through

cooperation with three banks with which we have set a

sufficient loan framework and which are willing to continue

to finance our investment needs under very acceptable

interest conditions.

The entire business plan is based on the currently available

prognosis and published professional opinions regarding

the development of the Czech Crown exchange rate. Based

on them, the exchange rate should be 24.00 CZK/€. In case

this development happens there will be no repetition of the

exchange rate loss in provisory activities as in 2010. We

cannot, however, expect any significant profits from the

exchange rate.

We plan feasible savings in the area of services. Our lease

instalments for the financially demanding purchase of

hydraulic presses will gradually cease and even consultancy

services should decrease. We plan on reducing planned

funds for repairs done by third parties.

We will continue to focus on the implemented project

related to increasing labour productivity. We cannot expect

such significant volumes of savings as in the first years

of the project but it is necessary to plan meticulously

and manage deployment of human resources in all work

areas including implementing all elements in the defined

personnel process.

In the area of training and development, we cannot rely on

continuation of the grant programme “Develop Yourselves”;

however, employee development will be partially ensured

by a project within the EDUCA operations programme,

organised by the SILIS company.

In 2011 a new Collective Agreement will come into

effect which is being prepared for another four years. Its

main content is, besides a social programme, income

development and all rules for personal and material

engagement of employees. The basic principle of the

income development will be also maintained in 2011, i.e.

a guaranteed growth by 2% in an average income with

an increase option depending on the labour productivity

achieved. The objective of new company pay legislation is

to strengthen the links between the income and individual

results.

The global objective and motto of the new Collective

Agreement for 2011 -2014 is to maintain a social contract

while continuously supporting our employee teams, in the

process of achieving all set goals of the company, and

creating a positive and creative atmosphere in all work

areas in the joint-stock company.

Report on Relations among Interconnected Subjects

2010, the assessed year, did not bring any change that would concern the relationship between the controlled entity, P-D Refractories CZ a.s. Velké Opatovice, and its controlling entity or entities controlled by the same entity. The majority of shares is still held by P-D Industriegesellschaft mbH Puschwitz which is partially directly and partially through the holding company P-D Management Industries Technologies GmbH Wilsdruf, owned by Mr. Jürgen Preiss-Daimler.

The fact is, however, that there is no production, technical or business cooperation on the part of the controlled entity.

The cooperation, on the other hand, continued to develop very intensively between manufacturers of refractory materials in the Group that were integrated in Germany in 2008 into one company, P-D Refractories GmbH Puschwitz. Preiss-Daimler

Refractories SA/NV Saint Ghislain in Belgium, cooperating originally, entered into a bankrupt process that finished in 2010 and this company was excluded from P-D Group.

Other subjects within P-D Group, between which and our company reciprocal transaction were carried out in 2010, without them being related partners as defined in § 66a of the Commercial Register, are:

P-D Kremen d.o.o. registered in Dolenje Mokro Pole 40, 8310 Šentjernej, Slovenia.

P-D Refractories CZ a.s. has a 50% share in this company, which is both a mining operation and a supplier of raw material – quartzite – for our company, as well as some other P-D Group companies. During 2010 there were mainly supplies of the mentioned raw material carried out, in the

Board of Directors Report on P-D Refractories CZ a.s. Velké Opatovice According to the provision § 66a, Para. 9 of the Commercial Code (Report on relations among interconnected subjects)

Controlling entity: P-D Industriegesellschaft mbH Registered at: Wetro-Siedlung 13-22, 02699 Puschwitz, Germany Identification Number: HRB 1052

Controlled entity: P-D Refractories CZ a.s. Registered at: Nádražní 218, 679 63 Velké Opatovice, Czech Republic Identification Number: CZ16343409

Business share of the controlling entity in the controlled entity: 85.91 %

Additional entities controlled by the same controlling entity: 1. P-D Refractories GmbH Wetro-Siedlung 13-22, 02699 Puschwitz, Germany holding a share of 52.63 %

2. P-D Interglas Technologies S.A. Battice, Belgium, holding a share of 100.00 %

3. P-D LAPP Systems GmbH Wilsdruff, Germany, holding a share of 20.00 %

The formerly owned minor shares in three Chinese companies were sold by the controlling entity in the course of the assessed year of 2010.

Other member companies within the group: none (cooperating with the controlled entity)



total volume of 699,379.20 €. The supplies were carried out based on standard orders and based on pricing and other terms identical with the terms for other trading partners of P-D Kremen d.o.o.In 2010 P-D Refractories CZ a.s. received dividends in the amount of 100,000 Euro as part of the profit distribution.

P-D Interglas Technologies A.G. Erbach, Germany, in whose headquarter there is a data centre that has provided technological and other related services to all companies in the Group since the transition to a unified SAP information system, which also concerns our company. Overall transactions in relation to our company accounted for 86,081.55 €.

P-D Management Industries Technologies GmbH registered in Wilsdruff, Germany. This company is an overarching body, representing the organisational-administrative centre of P-D Group and providing support, based on concluded contracts, to all companies within the Group. From the full range of activities defined in our contract (concluded on 1.7.2005), during the assessed year of 2010, the prevailing primary activities were in the IT area; additionally, coordination of marketing activities (fairs, etc.) and activities related to consolidation of the manner of transmitting statements within the Group. A significant contribution for our company was organising coordination meetings, of the top management of companies as well as professional groups and teams appointed for the area sales as per consumer sectors, technological development, quality control and purchasing.

The financial performance of our company to the Group centre was, in accordance with the concluded contract, including re-billing for using SAP licenses 253,317.92 €.

As in previous years, supplies between the four manufacturers of refractory materials including our company represented significant reciprocal transactions within the Group. Factually, these were supplies of steel and wooden or plastic moulds of our production and also mutual subcontracting of refractory materials in case of larger projects, for which the supplier from P-D Group subcontracted, for various, mainly capacity reasons, part of the contract to its affiliated company.

In regards to the centralised production of moulds by our company, it gradually increased its importance in terms of the volume and became a permanent part of our production

activities next to our main business activity. After decline in 2009 the demand for moulds on the part of the affiliated companies increased, which is documented by the following overview:

Number of worked parts 2009 2010Total 13,036 16,732- of which for companies within the Group 2,796 2,923- P-D Industries GmbH Wetro 1,482 1,072- P-D refractories Dr.C.Otto Bochum 1,280 1,851- Preiss-Daimler refractories SA

Saint Ghislain 34 0

The total financial volume (billing) within the Group in 2010 was from the point of view of the controlled entity – P-D Refractories CZ a.s. the following:

Obligation of the controlled entity- To the controlling entity

(P-D Industriegesellschaft mbH) 7,252.56 €- To the other companies

within P-D Group 4,508,795.52 €

Obligations to the controlled entity- from the controlling entity

(P-D Industriegesellschaft mbH) 0.00 €- from the other companies

within P-D Group 1,116,257.11 € - out of which from the affiliated

company P-D Kremen 699,379.20 €

All mutual supplies, both in the area of raw materials and the subcontracting of finished products as well as supplies of moulds, are conducted on the basis of standard commercial terms and conditions. Prices are set according to the same methodology as for the other trading partners, whereby the calculations are based on production costs supplemented by overhead costs and profit margins. Payment deadline is set uniformly within the entire P-D Group at 90 days. In case of payment in delay there is a uniform interest rate of 4% p.a., through which the controlled entity charged the penalty to the other Group companies at the total amount of 46,676.03 EUR.

At the end of the fiscal period – 2010 – all claims of the controlled entity against the related entities accounted for 3,865,522.34 EUR.



On the part of the controlled entity no detriment occurred

in connection to the fulfilment of mutual obligations within

P-D Group.

All documents relating to supplies within the Group are

stored in the following departments:

– department 07 Sales supplies of raw materials

and finished products

– division 04 Service supplies of moulds

– department 11 – MTZ (or 07) purchase of materials and

subcontracting (of goods)

Strategic supervisory and management activity of the

controlling entity is undertaken at the controlled entity by

members of the Board of the company. One member of the

four-member Board at the controlled entity is Mr. Hans-

Bernhard Führ – a representative of the controlling entity and

also Mr. Stefan Preiss-Daimler – a representative of another

company within the Group and at the same time a son of the

owner of the controlling entity.

Members of the three-member Advisory Board are Mr.

Jürgen Preiss-Daimler – an owner not only of the controlling

entity but the entire Group (in some companies a co-owner)

and Mr. Klaus Kaiser – a solicitor of the Group.

Personnel costs of the representatives of the controlling

entity associated with these positions comprised, for the

assessed year, in total 2,423,609.00 CZK; directors’ fees

amounted to 1,847,917.00 CZK.

This report of the Board is, in accordance with the law,

subject to discussion and approval by the Advisory Board of

the controlled entity; it is a part of the annual report of the

company for 2010 and is kept, inter alia, in the files at the

Regional Court in Brno.
