MANAGING DIRECTOR'S INTRODUCTION Ladies and Gentlemen, Let me present you with our results for the year 2013 which was very successful for PBS ENERGO, a.s. We managed to take advantage of the soon-to-expire legislation supporting power plants and heating plants burning biomass and residues of agricultural crops. We successfully designed, manufactured and commissioned three turbo-sets. The first turbo-set is installed in a bio power plant for burning straw located in Mostek near Dvůr Králové, and it features a condensing extraction turbine with maximum power on generator terminals of 5.4 MW. Another condensing extraction turbo-set of 1.7 MW now generates electricity in Návsí, the Frýdek-Místek District. In this case, the set is fuelled by wood chips. The third turbine – a steam back-pressure turbine of 1.1 MW – has been installed in the Mariánské Lázně Heating Plant. We successfully commissioned all three turbines within the required time-limits. In the first two cases we delivered a complete turbo-set including the accessories and the condensing part, while the third delivery consisted only of the turbo-set. Due to the subsidies of biomass electricity prices coming to an end in the Czech Republic, it was necessary to expand our business abroad. We succeeded in securing a very significant contract with a Hungarian chemical plant Nitrogenmüvek, which involves a turn-key delivery of a turbocharger. We continue to strengthen our position in the market with spare parts. In cooperation with our current business partners we are acquiring new customers – companies from Russia and the former Soviet Union countries. We support our foreign business activities by actively presenting ourselves at renowned energy industry trade-fairs RUSSIA POWER and POWER GEN. You may have seen us and our stalls in Vienna, Moscow or Orlando, USA, where we established many promising liaisons. In 2013, as every year, we successfully passed all certifications in the field of quality and environment management systems.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who helped us to achieve the 2013 results – the company employees as well as our business partners.

I am confident that we can continue with the positive trend in 2014 and that we will achieve our ambitious objectives through collective effort of all employees and the company management.
