Country Studies. Often managers need an in-depth, yet broad and up-to-date understanding of a
country’s strategic market potential and situation before the first field trip or investment proposal.
There are over 190 country studies available. Each study consists of analysis, statistics, forecasts,
and information of relevance to managers. The studies are continually updated to insure that the
reports have the most relevant information available. In addition to raw information, the reports
provide relevant analyses which put a more general perspective on a country (seen in the context
of relative performance vis-à-vis benchmarks).
Industry Studies. Companies are racing to become more international, if not global in their
strategies. For over 2000 product/industry categories, these reports give the reader a concise
summary of latent market forecasts, pro-forma financials, import competition profiles, contacts,
key references and trends across 200 countries of the world. Some reports focus on a particular
product and region (up to four regions per product), while others focus on a product within a
particular country.

In what follows, this report begins by summarizing the world market for rough castings of iron
and steel exports. The total level of exports on a worldwide basis is based on a model that
aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there,
each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of
competitive countries of origin. Based on supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of
origin are then calculated across each country market. These shares lead to a volume of export
values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to
obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each supplier and the destinations
(countries served by the supplier country). From these figures, world rankings are calculated. In
this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal
information for strategic planning purposes. Of the 150 countries considered, if a country is not
reported here it is therefore estimated to have only a negligible level of trade in rough castings of
iron and steel (i.e. their market shares are close or equal to zero percent). "Rough Castings of Iron
and Steel" as a category is defined in this report following the definition given by the United
Nations Statistics Division Classification Registry using the Standard International Trade
Classification, Revision 3 (SITC, Rev. 3). The SITC code that defined "rough castings of iron and
steel" is 6794. For more information on this definition, please refer to the following web site:
http://esa.un.org/unsd/cr/registry/regcs.asp?Cl=14&Lg=1&Co=679.
This report is updated on an annual basis. To ensure that you have the most current version, please
check the web site of ICON Group at www.icongrouponline.com, or call us in the USA at 858-
546-4340.
Important Caveat. The figures should be seen as market estimates, as opposed to historical
records, as these are forecasted for the current year of trade. More importantly, in light of the fact
that unforeseeable factors might interrupt markets in achieving their reported levels, the figures
should be seen as estimates of potential. For example, "mad cow" disease, foot-and-mouth disease,
trade embargoes, military conflicts, acts of terrorism and other events will certainly
affect the actual trade flows recorded for a variety of industry or product categories. In such cases,
the difference between the numbers given in this report and the numbers actually observed might
be interpreted as the "net loss" or "net gain" due to these exogenous events affecting regular trade
flows that would have occurred had these events not have taken place.

looking statements which should be treated as such. Forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of
the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995 and similar local laws. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks
and uncertainties, which may cause a Topic's actual results or outlook in future periods to differ materially from those forecasted.
These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, product price volatility, exchange rate volatility, regulation volatility,
product demand volatility, data inaccuracies, computer- or software-generated calculation inacuracies, market competition, changes
in management style, changes in corporate strategy, and risks inherent in international and corporate operations. Forward-looking
statements can be identified in statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words
such as "anticipate,'' "estimate," "expect,'' "project,'' "intend,'' "plan,'' "feel", "think", "hear," "guess," "forecast," "believe," and
other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating, economic or financial
performance. This equally applies to all statements relating to a Topic, economic variable or company financial situation. ICON
Group recommends that the reader follow the advice of Nancy M. Smith, Director of SEC's Office of Investor Education and
Assistance, "Never, ever, make an investment based solely on what you read in an online newsletter or Internet bulletin board,
especially if the investment involves a small, thinly-traded company that isn't well known … Assume that the information about
these companies is not trustworthy unless you can prove otherwise through your own independent research." Similar
recommendations apply to decisions relating to industry studies, product category studies, corporate strategies discussions and
country evaluations. In the case of ICON Group reports, many factors can affect the actual outcome of the period discussed,
including exchange rate volatility, changes in accounting standards, the lack of oversight or comparability in accounting standards,
changes in economic conditions, changes in competition, changes in the global economy, changes in source data quality, changes
in reported data quality, changes in methodology and similar factors.
