Promoting green chemistry in the Gulf region is a goal we are pursuing with the active encouragement of our Board of Directors.

Gone are the days when Health, Safety and Environment used to be looked upon as a matter of corporate reputation and prestige.

In fact, among all the issues/topics of common concern addressed through the Annual GPCA Forums and the regular workshops/seminars, we consider Responsible Care as one of the most vital - which will have the most far-reaching impact on the progress and pro�tability of our member companies. Besides reducing a company’s environmental footprint, Responsible Care can actually save costs, boost innovation and ofcourse, strengthen corporate reputation crucial for brand preferences.

Our 2008 Annual Report cover is an attempt to highlight this all-important shift in the way business would be conducted in the future.

GPCA : A MULTI FACETED ROLE

The GPCA is constantly working to expand and deepen the level of knowledge available toits members...

GPCA set out with a dream, a dream of getting the Gulf’s own voice of the petrochemicals industry heard around the world.

GPCA has done well in furtheringthe cause of the petrochemical and chemical industry in the Gulf Region, demonstrating the ability to perform a multi-faceted role:

Represent the common interest of the Gulf Region’s Petrochemical and Chemical IndustryGPCA takes a proactive role in the debate on a wide range of industry issues. With the backing of all leading petrochemical manufacturers and allied companies in the Gulf and Middle East, GPCA’s vision is aimed at promoting co-operation and information-sharing among its stakeholders and the community.

Compile, share and exchange resources, knowledge, opinions and experienceAn association of petrochemical and chemical manufacturers, allied industries and service providers, GPCA members exchange ideas, knowledge, experience and opinions to shape and de�ne the industry’s future and direction. GPCA offers its members access to a network of

tools, resources, industry contacts and an accumulated databank of relevant industry case studies and best practice.

The networking opportunities help the members in sharing knowledge, exchanging opinions and experiences.

Assist and encourage new scienti�c research and studiesGPCA assists and encourages focused research and development programmes to advance ideas or products in a mutually bene�cial manner so that the business environment is conducive to industry growth. GPCA aims to encourage research related to the industry and provide solutions to scienti�c and technical issues. A specially equipped ‘members only’ area in the GPCA website allows its members exclusive access to a vast array of information on the industry.

Promote human resources development GPCA plays a major role in promoting human resources development within the industry sharing best practices and exploring solutions for common issues facing the region. GPCA promotes relationships and co-operation among companies and institutions related to theindustry. This helps in improving the

overall ef�ciency and effectiveness of HR functions across all member companies through awareness, accountability and improved systems implementation.

Organise industrial conferences, seminars and exhibitionsGPCA organises various conferences like the Annual GPCA Forum, and other seminars and networking events which are designed to address key issues facing the industry. At the same time, these seminars, exhibitions and conferences provide the GPCA members access to information, knowledge and experience not generally available to the industry at large. The GPCA forums and conferences facilitate networking and provide unique platforms for idea exchange to chalk out the future course of the industry.

Acts as an industry spokespersonGPCA’s membership is composed of those interested in and able to in�uence the development of the petrochemical, chemical and allied industries. GPCA has become the regional voice in all matters of public interest and general concern to enhance understanding of the petrochemical industry among the media, stakeholders and the community.

Issue reports and analytical market studies GPCA is constantly working to expand and deepen the level of knowledge available to its members. It regularly undertakes global and regional market analyses for key petrochemical and chemical data, to provide comprehensive industry studies, analytical reports and historical market reviews.

Promote understanding of the industry’s contribution to economic, environmental and social progress GPCA aims to promote a deep understanding of the role and contribution of the petrochemical industry to the economic & social development of the region while safeguarding the environment. The association is already active in ensuring that its members meet the needs of the present without compromising the interests of the future generations. The key objectives are social progress which recognises the needs of all the stakeholders, effective protection of the environment, prudent use of natural resources and maintenance of high and sustainable levels of economic growth.


A FOREWORD FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Our Association has seen tremendous growth in all spheres of our activity. The revenues have risen from AED 5.7 Million in 2006 to AED 6.7 Million in 2008.

established its Annual Forum as one of the pivotal events in the global petrochemicals calendar.

In all our activities we managed to attain a level of success which some of the established associations built over a long period of time. Yes, we didn’t try to re-invent the wheel. We learned from their best practices and progressed faster. GPCA enjoys strong relationships with associations like EPCA, NPRA, ICC, APIC etc. We are now paving the way to join the ICCA – the International Council of Chemical Associations.

Our Association has seen tremendous growth in all spheres of our activity. The revenues have risen from AED 5.7 Million in 2006 to AED 6.7 Million in 2008. We now have 4 working committees looking at common issues in the areas of Human Resources, Safety Health and Environment, Plastics and Supply Chain. GPCA conducted five workshops

Dear Members,

I consider myself fortunate to have led the team of an organisation that has steered the Gulf’s petrochemical and chemical industries towards a whole new era of co-ordination and co-operation for the collective good of the region. Indeed GPCA has come a long way since inception. These three years have been exciting, challenging and ful�lling.

The association was formed in March 2006 and we dared to hold our First Annual Forum in less than nine months, in December 2006.

That’s the way it has always been at GPCA. We set ambitious objectives and then set about organising the infrastructure to achieve them. We established committees to address issues of common concern and organised workshops on various topics. We initiated studies for our members and also produced a directory to provide a platform for contact. GPCA successfully

on various important topics last year. Two of these were on REACH. We had four hundred and �fty delegates at our First Annual Forum; we had almost a thousand delegates at our Third Annual Forum in 2008.

On the stakeholder engagement front, our website is now seeing an average of over 400,000 hits every month which mirrors the overall interest in the association and its activities.

GPCA membership stands at 141 today from the original 8 founding members when we started.

Looking at the future, we would like to move forward on Responsible Care, advocacy and have more opportunities for meeting of minds for our industry.

I have no doubt that GPCA can play a very constructive role in these challenging times serving the member companies with a variety of data, technical insight and resources.

In the race for excellence, there’s no �nishing line, for each new advance merely reveals a new horizon. At GPCA, we reaf�rm our commitment to excellence, while reminding ourselves that the journey continues.

I would like to thank you for your valuable support through the three marvellous years. Thanks for making us into what we are today – a highly successful, pro-active association of petrochemical and chemical companies in the Gulf.

Mohamed H. Al-MadyChairman, GPCA


REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In the midst of the impending gloom, we at GPCA ended the year 2008 on a high note with the success of the 3rd Annual GPCA Forum

PCN, ICIS, Middle East Petrochemicals carried special reports on the event. The number of attendees once again showed a steady rise over the previous year.

Attended by close to 1,000 delegates and addressed by a distinguished line-up of prominent industry �gures and experts from around the world, the Forum enlightened the delegates on the impact of the global �nancial crisis and ways of meeting the challenges ahead in the region’s petrochemicals and chemicals sectors. The industry leaders who addressed the gathering at the main conference were:

H.E. Abdulla Bin Hamad Al-Attiyah - Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Energy and Industry, Qatar; Chairman and Managing Director, Qatar Petroleum who shared his knowledge and experience on ‘Meeting Energy and Feedstock Needs for the Region’

Jeffrey Lipton - CEO, Nova Chemical who spoke on ‘Managing Growth : Where Are the New Global Feedstock Sources?’

Ben van Beurden - Executive Vice President, Shell Chemicals who addressed the topic of ‘The Energy Challenge : Implications for the

Dear Members,

In the midst of the impending gloom, we at GPCA ended the year 2008 on a high note with the success of the Third Annual GPCA Forum as leaders and managers from across the global petrochemicals industry converged in Dubai once again casting the spotlight on the most important petrochemicals region in the world.

For the Petrochemicals and Chemicals industry, 2008 offered a mixed bag of triumphs and tremors. By November, the industry watchers were already proclaiming “tough challenges ahead” although invariably ending their review with a note of optimism about Middle East’s chances of emerging unscathed from the �nancial crisis.

THIRD ANNUAL GPCA FORUM

The Third Annual GPCA Forum was organised in Dubai on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of December 2008. The theme for the Forum was ‘Managing Growth and Competitiveness in a Cyclical Industry’.

The Forum was widely covered in the international and regional media including television. Leading trade publications like Chemical Week, MEED,

BREAKOUT SESSIONS AT THE THIRD ANNUAL GPCA FORUM

Responding to all-round interest in issues of key concern which required more in-depth analysis, we also organised two Breakout Sessions as part of the Third Annual GPCA Forum.

As on 31 December 2008, the surplus income was AED 2.572 million and GPCA’s employed assets totalled AED 9.905 million. Inclusive of AED 5.524 million in available-for-sale investments.

The GPCA revenue streams were further optimised to reduce the dependency on membership subscription. Income from

the Annual Forum went up from AED 1.420 million in 2007 to AED 2.311 million in 2008.

With a busier calendar of activities in 2009, we can once again project an all-round rise in revenue – from conferences, seminars and publications.


REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENTREPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

conduct a seminar to discuss various issues and way forward related to production planning and marketing of Fertiliser products. Like all GPCA events, this Seminar would also offer the participants an excellent networking opportunity with peers and to get acquainted with the latest developments by listening to the global experts.

The Fourth Annual GPCA Forum will be held in Dubai on 8th, 9th and 10th December 2009. We expect an even greater participation at this even to be co-organised by Chemical Week.

We thank all our members for their active involvement in the affairs of GPCA and we hope to get the same level of support and encouragement in 2009.

Board of Directors

FUTURE PLANS

Co-operation is the key to meeting the challenges ahead. GPCA’s constant endeavour would be to create more and more opportunities for interaction among the member companies.

Dear Member Representatives,

I have the pleasure in enclosing, on behalf of the Board of Directors, the Financial Report for the year ending 31st December 2008 showing a surplus of AED 2.571 Million.

The accounts have been audited by Ernst & Young, Dubai.

Yours faithfully, Abdulaziz Alhajri CEO, Borouge GPCA Treasurer



Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying �nancial statements of Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (the “Association”), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2008 and the income and expense statement and cash �ow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of signi�cant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these �nancial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of �nancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditors’ ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these �nancial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the �nancial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the �nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the �nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the �nancial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate for the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the �nancial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suf�cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the �nancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the �nancial position of the Association as of 31 December 2008, and its �nancial performance and its cash �ows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

disclosures required when the discounted cash �ows are used to estimate value in use.

The application of the above standards and improvements to IFRSs’ will result in amendments to the presentation of the �nancial statements including, in some cases, revisions to the accounting policies.

Use of estimates and judgmentsThe preparation of the �nancial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amount of �nancial assets and liabilities, revenues, expenses, disclosure of contingent liabilities and the resultant provisions and fair values. Such estimates are necessarily based on assumptions about several factors and actual results may differ from reported amounts.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

In particular, information about signi�cant areas of estimation, uncertainty, and critical judgements in applying accounting policies (that have the most signi�cant effect on the amount recognised in the �nancial statements) are discussed in note 13.

Revenue recognitionMembership fee and subscriptions are taken to revenue over the period to which they relate.

Interest revenue is recognised as the interest accrues using the effective interest method.

Property and equipmentProperty and equipment is stated at cost lessaccumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over

the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Leasehold improvements 3 yearsFurniture and �xtures 3 yearsOf�ce equipment 3 years

The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount, being the higher of their fair value less costs to sell and their value in use.

Expenditure incurred to replace a component of an item of property and equipment that is accounted for separately is capitalised and the carrying amount of the component that is replaced is written off. Other subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases future economic bene�ts of the related item of property and equipment. All other expenditure is recognised in the income and expense statement as the expense is incurred. Investments

Available-for-sale investmentsAvailable-for-sale �nancial investments are those which are designated as such or do not qualify to be classi�ed as designated at fair value through pro�t and loss, held to maturity or �nancing and investing assets.

After initial recognition, securities which are classi�ed as available for sale are normally remeasured at fair value unless fair value cannot be reliably determined in which case they are measured at cost less impairment. Fair value changes are reported as a separate component of equity until the security is derecognised or the security is determined to be impaired. On derecognition or impairment, the cumulative gain or loss previously reported as “cumulative changes in fair value” within equity is included in the consolidated income statement for the period.

IAS 1 Revised Presentation of Financial StatementsThe revised Standard was issued in September 2007 and becomes effective for �nancial years beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The application of this standard will result in amendments to the presentation of the �nancial statements. The Standard separates owner and non-owner changes in equity. The statement of changes in equity will include only details of transactions with owners, with non-owner changes in equity presented as a single line. In addition, the Standard introduces the statement of comprehensive income: it presents all items of recognised income and expense, either in one single statement, or in two linked statements. The Association is still evaluating whether it will have one or two statements.

Improvements to IFRSsIFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Removal of the reference to ‘total interest income’ as a component of �nance costs.

IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Change in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Clari�cation that only implementation guidance that is an integral part of an IFRS is mandatory when selecting accounting policies.

IAS 10 Events after the Reporting Period:Clari�cation that dividends declared after the end of the reporting period are not obligations.

IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment:Replace the term “net selling price” with “fair value less costs to sell”.

IAS 18 Revenue:Replacement of the term ‘direct costs’ with ‘transaction costs’ as de�ned in IAS 39.

IAS 36 Impairment of Assets:When discounted cash �ows are used to estimate ‘fair value less cost to sell’ additional disclosure is required about the discount rate, consistent with

Accounts receivableAccounts receivable are stated at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when there is no possibility of recovery.

Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of the cash �ow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and bank balances.

Accounts payable and accrualsLiabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether billed by the supplier or not.

ProvisionsProvisions are recognised when the Association has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the costs to settle the obligation are both probable and able to be reliably measured.

LeasesLeases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and bene�ts of ownership of the asset are

classi�ed as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income and expense statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Employees’ end of service bene�tsThe Association provides end of service bene�ts to its employees in accordance with UAE labour law. The entitlement to these bene�ts is based upon the employees’ �nal salary and length of service, subject to the completion of a minimum service period. The expected costs of these bene�ts are accrued over the period of employment.

Foreign currenciesTransactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the income and expense statement.

11. RISK MANAGEMENT

Interest rate risk The Association is not exposed to any signi�cant interest rate risk on its interest bearing assets and liabilities.

Credit riskThe Association seeks to limit its credit risk with respect to debtors by monitoring outstanding fees receivables as there is no established credit period for debtors. Credit risk is limited to the carrying value of �nancial assets in the balance sheet.

Liquidity riskThe Association limits its liquidity risk by ensuring bank facilities or funds are available. The Association’s terms for renewing the membership are speci�ed in the agreement. Trade accounts payable are settled on the basis of credit terms agreed with the respective supplier.

The table below summarises the maturities of the Association’s undiscounted �nancial liabilities at 31 December 2008, based on contractual payment dates.

Currency riskThe Association is not exposed to signi�cant currency risk.

Capital managementThe primary objective of the Association’s fund management is to ensure that it maintains a healthy ratio in order to support its activities.


REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MEMBERSHIP STATISTICS


12. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments comprise �nancial assets and �nancial liabilities.

Financial assets consist of cash and bank balances and receivables. Financial liabilities consist of payables and accruals.

The fair values of �nancial instruments are not materially different from their carrying values.

13. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Impairment of accounts receivableAn estimate of the collectible amount of accounts receivable is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. For individually signi�cant amounts, this estimation is performed on an individual basis. Amounts which are not individually signi�cant, but which are past due, are assessed collectively and a provision applied according to the length of time past due.

At the balance sheet date, gross accounts receivable were AED 2,905,195 (2007: AED 1,787,829) and the provision for doubtful debts was AED Nil (2007: AED Nil). Any difference between the amounts actually collected in future periods and the amounts expected will be recognised in the income and expense statement.
