GENERAL

 

OneSteel Recycling Hong Kong Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of OneSteel Recycling Asia Ltd., a Hong Kong-registered firm located at the operating address of the subject.  The ultimate holding company of the subject OneSteel Ltd. [OneSteel] is an Australia-based and listed firm.

The subject belongs to the Recycling Segment of the OneSteel Group.  It is responsible for the recycling of scrap metals, zinc, aluminium, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, etc.  Commodities are provided to the subject’s affiliated mills in Australia and other countries of the world for processing.

The subject has set up several scrap metal collecting centres in Hong Kong.

OneSteel is a fully integrated, global manufacturer and distributor of steel and finished steel products, self-sufficient in both iron ore and scrap metal, with revenues in excess of A$6 billion.

OneSteel’s major manufacturing facilities are located in Whyalla, South Australia, Melbourne, Victoria, Western Sydney and Newcastle, New South Wales and Brisbane, Queensland.  Smaller manufacturing and distribution facilities are located throughout regional Australia.

Additionally, OneSteel has more than 40 operating facilities in New Zealand, Asia and the Pacific that encompass major manufacturing sites and recycling locations.  OneSteel also operates eight facilities in the United States consisting of Grinding Media, LiteSteelTM Technologies, Recycling and a ferrous shredder in Tampa, Florida.

In total, OneSteel services more than 30,000 customers, offers more than 40,000 products globally and employs over 11,100 people.

OneSteel manufactures and distributes structural, rail, rod, merchant bar, cold finished bar, chrome plated bar, reinforcing, wire, tube, pipes, fittings, valves and actuation, rail wheels and axles, steel beam, grinding media and recycled metals.  The majority of OneSteel’s products are used in the construction, manufacturing, housing, mining and agricultural industries.

OneSteel is an integrated, global manufacturer and distributor of steel and finished steel products.  It is self sufficient in iron ore and has the ability to be self sufficient in scrap metal, providing significant flexibility to the integrated model that ranges from the mining, collection and supply of steel making raw materials through to steel production, manufacturing and distribution in Australia and overseas.  OneSteel also makes external sales of hematite iron ore and scrap metal.

OneSteel’s business segments include:-

Iron Ore — Mining and sales of iron ore and by products

Recycling — Collection and sales of ferrous and non-ferrous metals for internal use and external sales

Manufacturing — Manufacturing and value add steel products

Australian Distribution and New Zealand Distribution

In the 2009 financial year, OneSteel faced a difficult economic environment and the most challenging year on record for the steel industry due to the impact of the Global Financial Crisis.  Despite starting the year strongly, the significant deterioration in market conditions during the year led to a disappointing full year result.  OneSteel responded quickly and strongly to the changed conditions, resetting its cost base and strengthening its balance sheet to better position it for facing its challenges and maximising its opportunities from the downturn.

For the year ended 30th June, 2009, the sales of the OneSteel Group amounted to A$7,241.5 million, decreased by 2.6% as compared with that of A$7,434.3 million in FY 2008; net profit after tax was A$229.5 million, decreased by 6.3% as compared with that of A$244.9 million in FY 2008.

The subject is fully supported by OneSteel.

On the whole, consider the subject good for normal business engagements.
