PT Petrocentral

Petrocentral is the sole producer of Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP) in Indonesia. STPP's primary use is as the major “builder” in laundry detergents where it functions as a "water softener" and acts to suspend soil thereby enhancing the detergent's cleansing ability.

Since 2004, Petrocentral has gained ISO 9001:2000 for its Quality Management System in manufacturing and selling of STPP. This certification was obtained from Standard Assurance and Innovation (“SAI”) Global Limited and The International Certification Network (IQNet).

Due to increasing competition from Chinese product, Petrocentral's 2005 sales experienced a decrease from 48,553 MT or USD 28.75 million in 2004 to 36,295 MT or USD 24.26 million this year. As a result, management has decided to invest in a Chinese company which produces phosphoric acid, the raw material for STPP production. By integrating its business from upstream, management will secure a portion of its raw materials supply and costs and thus increase its competitive power.

In order to produce STPP, Petrocentral has an installed production capacity of 65,000 MT per annum. In 2005, the actual production volume of STPP was 39,172 MT or 60.26% of the total installed production capacity.

Despite the increase in the selling price per MT of 12.86%, this did not cover the increase in both main raw material prices of 39.20% and fixed costs, and reduced Petrocentral's gross profit from US$ 6.35 million in 2004 to US$ 1.79 million in 2005. As a result, Petrocentral recorded net loss in 2005 amounted to US$ 0.20 million, a decrease of 109.57% from last year net income of US$ 2.09 million.

UIC VIETNAM Co., Ltd.

UICV, a wholly owned subsidiary, is located in Dong Nai, Vietnam and engaged in the manufacture and distribution of Linear Aklylbenzene Sulphonic Acid ("LABSA") and Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate ("SLES").

UIC Vietnam's main product, LABSA - a derivative of (Alkylbenzene - is the primary active ingredient in the majority of powder and liquid detergents, as well as the major cleaning ingredient in hair shampoo and liquid soap. It is also used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical industry.

UICV total sales volume in 2005 grew at a modest 0.5% from 20,991 MT last year to 21,095 MT. The major growth area was in LABSA exports.

In 2005, LABSA sales was 18,082 MT, increased 7.43%, compared to the 2004 figure of 16,832 MT. On the other hand, SLES sales volume experienced a considerable decline of 27.54% from 4,158 MT last year to 3,013 MT this year. This is due to decreased off-take by one of the UICV's major customers who reformulated to a different type of SLES. UICV has subsequently adapted its SLES to suit the customer's needs.

The total production volume was 20,779 MT or a slight drop of 0.32% compared to 20,845 MT last year. LABSA production volume was up by 6.24% from 16,782 MT last year to 17,830 MT this year, primarily to support growth in the export market. However, SLES production volume was down by 27.44% from 4,064 MT in 2004 to 2,949 MT this year due to decreased off take from one major customer while testing of another type of SLES took place. The new SLES type has been approved by the customer and is expected to commence delivery starting March 2006.

UICV this year was awarded ISO 9001:2000 certification extension for another three years until 2008.

On average, the raw material costs per MT of sales increased 30% compared to that of last year, whereas the average selling price increase in the same period was 26%.

In addition, sales volumes of SLES which traditionally contributes higher gross profit margin than LABSA, experienced a decline of 27.54% compared to 2004. Consequently, gross profit margin experienced a decline from 12.95% last year to 8.87% this year.

It is anticipated that the outlook for next year will be more or less in line with this year. Sales volume is expected to grow 3.5% as there have been signs that raw material prices may decline, resulting in higher LABSA off take. It is expected that the sales volume of the new type of SLES will grow to replace the existing type of SLES.

Albright & Wilson (Australia) Limited (AWAL)

AWAL is a major producer of phosphoric acid, technical and food grade phosphate and polyphosphate, as well as a comprehensive range of surfactants, detergent raw materials and concrete and plasterboard additives. These products find application in such industries as personal care, detergents, food processing, metal finishing, paper, shampoos, mining and mineral processing, pharmaceuticals, crop care, building and water treatment.

AWAL has two factories in Australia: the phosphates range of products is manufactured at Yarraville, Victoria and the surfactant range at Wetherill Park, New South Wales. Both factories are ISO 9001 accredited. Sales, marketing and local warehousing facilities are situated in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.

AWAL has 100% ownership in Albright & Wilson New Zealand Limited (AWNZ), a trading company that provides marketing and warehousing facilities for AWAL's products in New Zealand.

AWAL has experienced some erosion of its phosphate market due to the importation of cheap Chinese products into Australia. This has led its management to make the decision to temporarily mothball its phosphoric acid plant at Yarraville-Melbourne. In accordance with applied accounting standards, as there is no certain cash flow from this asset, an impairment value and associated retrenchments of US$ 3.3 million were recorded in AWAL's operating expenses.

Net revenue in 2005 was AUS$ 100.1 million which is slightly below that of last year (AUS$ 103.9 million). However, AWAL has experienced some decline in its gross profit margin to 12.5% this year compared with 15.6 % last year. AWAL has managed to reduce its borrowing costs during 2005 by the repayment of most of its long term loan.

As discussed earlier, during 2005 management has greatly focused it's attention on the phospate business. As part of a business realignment, the Company has made the decision to secure a portion of it's phosporic acid business supply of phosporic acid by investing in Nanning, China.

By securing its raw material supply and costs, this investment in phosphoric acid is expected to maintain and even enhance AWAL and Petrocentral's competitive position in open market competition with China in both Australia and Indonesia.

Wiranusa Grahatama (WG)

PT Wiranusa Grahatama (WG), which was established in 1996, owns a 3.5 ha land located in the heart of Jakarta. In 2004, WG commenced activities to develop an apartment and office complex, which had been put on hold since 1997.

The Pearl Garden low-rise resort apartments are WG's current project. Described as more than just an apartment complex, it represents a new concept where nature blends harmoniously with luxury living, a concept that makes Pearl Garden a unique experience in resort living. With 3.5 ha of grounds, a strictly limited number of units and uncompromising building quality, Pearl Garden is something to aspire to.

Three-in-one is no longer a problem as Pearl Garden has built a bridge to connect its convenient location to a free, three-in-one access road.

All facilities in Pearl Garden are comparable to that of a five-star hotel. The resort offers a variety of gardens ranging from sophisticated Japanese dry garden to lush tropical foliage and incorporates a number of delightful water features. All elements of the resort are specifically designed to provide a truly natural atmosphere. The units are exceptionally designed and this is what made Pearl Garden so unique.

In its Pearl Garden project, WG has appointed well known consultants and contractors such as PT Total Bangun Persada, Davis Langdon and Seah, Coldwell Banker. The artist behind Pearl Garden is Ir. B. Sardjono Sani M.Arch., an inspirational architect who has won awards by from both local and international institutions.

We have closely monitored the construction and marketing costs through effective management and controls. Starting with ground breaking in January 2005 and then foundation completion in April 2005, Pearl Garden celebrated the topping-off ceremony of its construction in March 2006. We are confident that all apartments will be handed over to their new occupants on time.
