The reliability of the units was further enabled by the shutdown of the Litvínov refinery at the
end of 2007 and further reduction of unplanned shutdowns.
Maintenance
The original financial 2008 BP for the Maintenance was approved in the amount CZK 716.2
million, the actual expenditures in 2008 were CZK 666.2 million, representing the savings of
CZK 50 million, while the Maintenance contractors’ headcount was reduced.
In the Maintenance Index (based on Solomon), in 2008 Maintenance moved to the second
quartile. These results were contributed mainly by improvement of tanks´ repair management,
scheduling improvement, small T/As process improvement, focusing on contractors´ work
efficiency and gradual implementation of BIC II outputs (Maintenance Process, SAP,
scheduling in P3E, RRM etc.). Within the BIC II system project in the area of maintenance
other modules were implemented, also repairs records and assessment were improved.
One of the Maintenance key activities and projects in 2008, the preparation for the 2009
turnaround of the Kralupy refinery needs to be stated which bounded large amount of
personnel sources in 2008 and proceeded in compliance with the planned milestones in order
to achieve the successful turnaround.

Following the above stated, it is evident that majority of the targets was fulfilled, or we
approached significantly the determined targets. Overall, it may be stated the Maintenance in
2008 achieved the main performance indicators.
In 2008, automobile fuels, which complied with the strict requirements for the quality of
automobile fuels were manufactured. As early as at the end of 2004, the Company
commenced full production of automobile fuels with sulphur content lower than 10 ppm.
This was in keeping with the strict environmental requirements pursuant to the European
Union Directive 98/70/EC, as amended by Directive 2003/17/EC.
All through the year, both refineries added rape oil methyl-esters (MEŘO) in diesel oil and
bio-ethanol in automobile petrol, in keeping with the requirements of the Processors. In 2008,
when the Company was still a “legally obligated entity”, diesel oil was manufactured with
the addition of the average content of bio-components (in particular, MEŘO) in the amount of
2.10% vol., and automobile petrol with the content of bio-ethanol in the amount of 2.14%
vol.; the statutory amount equals 2.0% vol.
Requirements for product logistics responded to orders made by the Processors, subject to
concurrent optimisation of the transport of semi-finished products between the refineries,
among other things, making partial use of the pipeline.
