broader and in more depth than in a financial statement audit.

Methanol is a liquid chemical produced primarily from natural
gas and is typically used as a chemical feedstock in the
manufacture of other products. Estimated 2006 global methanol
demand is approximately 38&nbsp;million tonnes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Approximately 80% of all methanol is used in the production of
derivative chemicals such as formaldehyde, acetic acid and a
variety of other chemicals that form the basis of a large number
of chemical derivatives. These derivatives are used in the
manufacture of a wide range of products including building
materials, foams, resins and plastics. The remainder of methanol
demand comes from the energy sector. Methanol is used to produce
MTBE, a gasoline component and there are developing markets for
using methanol in energy applications such as biodiesel,
methanol to power generation, di-methyl ether (DME) and fuel
blending. Due to the diversity of the end-products in which
methanol is used, methanol demand is influenced by a broad range
of economic, industrial and environmental factors.

Chile, Trinidad and New Zealand. Our core production hubs in
Chile and Trinidad have an annual production capacity of
5.8&nbsp;million tonnes and these two hubs represent over 90% of
our current total annual production capacity. We also produce
methanol from our 0.5&nbsp;million tonne per year production
facility in Waitara Valley, New Zealand which is positioned as a
flexible production asset. In addition to the methanol we
produce, we currently purchase approximately 1.1&nbsp;million
tonnes annually of methanol produced by others in order to meet
customer requirements and support our marketing efforts. We sell
methanol through an extensive global marketing and distribution
system. This has enabled us to become the largest supplier of
methanol to the major international markets of North America,
Asia Pacific and Europe as well as Latin America. Our

As a result of our global positioning, including our extensive
network of storage terminals and expertise in the global
distribution of methanol, we believe we have a competitive
advantage as a supplier of methanol to major chemical and
petrochemical producers for whom quality of service and
reliability of supply are important. We believe we benefit from
this competitive advantage through greater security of demand as
a result of our excellent record of reliability, as well as
marketing and transportation synergies and an improved customer
mix.

Since the early 1990s, we have expanded our global methanol
production and marketing reach and have carried out a strategy
designed to enable us to become a low cost producer and, we
believe, a preferred supplier in the methanol industry. As a
result of this strategy, we have developed a global presence in
the methanol industry, allowing us to provide reliable,
efficient and cost-effective delivery of methanol from
geographically diverse locations to customers in the
world&#146;s methanol markets.

<B><I>Low Cost. </I></B>Maintaining a low cost structure is a
key element of competitive advantage in a commodity industry and
is a key element of our strategy. Our approach to all business
decisions is guided by our drive to maintain and enhance our low

natural gas for feedstock and distribution costs associated with
delivering methanol to customers.

long-term security of low cost natural gas supply and reduce our
reliance on high cost production.

Over the last several years we have developed a production hub
in Trinidad with convenient access to methanol markets in North
America and Europe. The Trinidad hub consists of the 850,000
tonne per year Titan facility which we wholly own and the
1.7&nbsp;million tonne per year Atlas plant which is a joint
venture with BP. Atlas commenced operations in 2004. We have a
63.1% interest in Atlas and market 100% of its production.
Including our proportionate share of Atlas, our Trinidad
production hub represents about two million tonnes of annual low
cost production capacity.

In 2005, we commenced operations at our 840,000 tonne per year
expansion of our methanol production hub in Chile. This
expansion is underpinned by a long-term natural gas supply
contract. With this expansion, our methanol production hub in
Chile has annual production capacity of 3.8&nbsp;million tonnes.

Our core production hubs in Chile and Trinidad have an annual
production capacity of 5.8&nbsp;million tonnes, which represents
over 90% of our current total annual production capacity. These
facilities are underpinned by long-term take-or-pay natural gas
purchase agreements with pricing terms that vary with methanol
prices. The strategic location of our Chile and Trinidad
production hubs allows us to deliver methanol cost-effectively
to Asia Pacific, Europe, North America and Latin America.

Our production facilities in Chile currently source
approximately 62% of their natural gas feedstock from Argentina.
During 2006, the government of Argentina passed new legislation
increasing the existing duty on natural gas exports paid by our
natural gas suppliers. While our gas contracts provide that
duties levied by the government of Argentina are payable by the
natural gas suppliers, we are in continuing discussions with our
Argentinean natural gas suppliers regarding the impact of the
increased export duty&nbsp;&#151; refer to <I>Natural Gas
Supply&nbsp;&#151; Chile</I> on page 14 for further information.
We continue to seek alternative sources of natural gas supply to
our Chile facilities to minimize the impact of the increased

We permanently closed our 500,000 tonne per year methanol plant
located in Kitimat, British Columbia on November&nbsp;1, 2005
and with that closure we have eliminated our exposure to high
cost North American natural gas feedstock. The site has been
converted into a terminal for storing and distributing methanol
as well as other products. During 2006, the site has allowed us
to further enhance our distribution network and to
cost-effectively supply methanol to customers in the Pacific
Northwest of North America. We have also positioned our Waitara
Valley facility in New Zealand as a flexible production asset
with future operations dependant upon methanol industry supply
and demand and the availability of natural gas on commercially
acceptable terms.

The cost to distribute methanol from our production facilities
to customers is also a significant component of our operating
costs. These include costs for ocean shipping, in-market storage
facilities and in-market distribution. We are focussed on
identifying initiatives to reduce these costs. Over the last few
years we have taken a number of steps to reduce these costs, in
part by seeking to take advantage of our large production hubs.
We also seek to use larger vessels where possible and to
maximize the utilization of our shipping fleet in order to
reduce costs. We take advantage of prevailing conditions in the
shipping market by varying the type and length of term of our
ocean vessel contracts.

We are continuously investigating opportunities to further
improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of distributing
methanol from our production facilities to our customers. Our
terminal in Korea allows us to efficiently and cost-effectively
service our customer base in northeast Asia. In 2005, we
expanded the methanol storage capacity at our Korean terminal to
155,000 tonnes and leased terminal capacity in Taicang, China to
further improve customer service in China. We also look for
opportunities to leverage our global asset position by entering
into product exchanges with other methanol producers to reduce
our distribution costs.

We believe our production of methanol from large hub facilities
with access to low cost natural gas and our initiatives in
reducing our distribution costs have allowed us to be a low cost
supplier in the markets we serve.

<B><I>Global leadership. </I></B>We are the leading supplier of
methanol to the major international markets of North America,
Asia Pacific and Europe, as well as Latin America. Our industry
leadership has enabled us to play a role in industry pricing
through the establishment of published Methanex reference prices
in each major market. Our expertise in the global distribution
of methanol enables us to enhance value by providing reliable
supply to our customers.

Over the past several years, we have played a role in the
consolidation of the methanol industry and have positioned
ourselves as the supplier of choice for global chemical
producers as they face the decision of producing or purchasing
their methanol requirements. Over the past few years, we have
permanently shut down 2.2&nbsp;million tonnes of our own higher
cost capacity in North America. Other producers have also shut
down plants, allowing us to gain new customers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In 2004, we permanently shut down our 1.9&nbsp;million tonne per
year Motunui site in New Zealand and since then, we have been
operating the 530,000 tonne per year Waitara Valley facility.
This plant is positioned as a flexible production asset with
operations dependant upon methanol industry supply and demand
and the availability of natural gas on commercially acceptable
terms. In 2006, we produced about 400,000&nbsp;tonnes of
methanol at the Waitara Valley plant. In January 2007, we
secured additional amounts of natural gas which, combined with
our existing entitlements, is expected to enable the New Zealand
plant to operate at least until the end of 2007 and produce
approximately 425,000&nbsp;tonnes of methanol in 2007. We
continue to seek other supplies of economically priced natural
gas to extend the life of the New Zealand plants. However, there
can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional
gas on commercially acceptable terms.

The expansion of our Korean terminal discussed above improves
the cost-effectiveness of distributing methanol from our
production facilities in Chile to our customers in Asia through
the utilization of larger vessels. To that end, we have
positioned the Millennium Explorer, our 100,000 dwt ship, in the
Pacific in order to serve the Asian market. We have also
relocated our Asia Pacific marketing and logistics office from
Auckland, New Zealand to Hong Kong and have added staff at our
office in Shanghai in order to enhance our customer service and
industry positioning in this region. This enables us to
participate and improve our knowledge of the rapidly evolving
and high growth methanol market in China and other countries in
Asia. Our enhanced presence in Asia has also helped us to
identify several opportunities to develop applications for
methanol to energy.

We also believe that it is important to play a role in
developing new markets for methanol. There are developing
markets for using methanol in energy applications such as
biodiesel, methanol to power generation, di-methyl ether (DME)
and fuel blending with the latter two having the largest growth
prospects in China. DME, which is typically produced from
methanol, can be blended up to 20% with liquefied petroleum gas
(LPG) and used for household cooking and heating. DME can also
be used as a clean burning substitute for diesel in
transportation and as a clean fuel for power generation. In late
2006, we entered into a long-term arrangement with China&#146;s
XinAo Group under which we will, beginning in late 2007, supply
an initial quantity of approximately 300,000&nbsp;tonnes per
year of methanol to XinAo. This methanol is required for a new
DME production facility that XinAo is developing near Shanghai
which we have an option to take an equity stake in.

We believe that methanol consumers view reliability of supply as
critical to the success of their businesses. In order to
differentiate ourselves from our competitors, we strive to be
the best operator in all aspects of our business and to be the
preferred supplier to our customers. We believe that reliability
of supply is critical to the success of our customers&#146;
businesses and our goal is to deliver methanol reliably and
cost-effectively. In part due to our commitment to Responsible
Care, a risk minimization approach developed by the Canadian
Chemical Producers&#146; Association, we believe we have reduced
the likelihood of unplanned shutdowns and lost time incidents
and have achieved an excellent overall environmental and safety
record.

We also have adopted a policy on Corporate Social Responsibility
(&#147;CSR&#148;) which is a natural extension of our

We operate in a highly competitive and cyclical industry.
Accordingly, we believe it is important to maintain financial
flexibility throughout the methanol price cycle and have adopted
a prudent approach to financial management. Where there are
opportunities to grow our position in the methanol industry we
apply a disciplined approach which includes minimum target
return criteria. We also believe that it is prudent to maintain
a conservative balance sheet and have established a track record
of returning excess cash to shareholders.

Methanol is a clear colourless liquid that is typically used as
a chemical feedstock in the manufacture of other products.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In 2006, approximately 80% of all methanol was used in the
production of formaldehyde, acetic acid and a variety of other
chemicals that form the foundation of a large number of chemical
derivatives. These derivatives are used in the manufacture of a
wide range of products including plywood, particleboard, foams,
resins and plastics. The remainder of methanol demand is largely
in the energy sector, principally as a feedstock in the
production of MTBE. MTBE is blended with gasoline and acts as a
source of octane and as an oxygenate to reduce the amount of
harmful exhaust emissions from motor vehicles. Methanol is also
used in other energy applications such as biodiesel and fuel
blending.

Methanol is a typical commodity chemical and the methanol
industry is characterized by cycles of oversupply resulting in
lower prices and idling of capacity, followed by periods of
shortage and rising prices as demand catches up and exceeds
supply until increased prices lead to new plant investment or
the re-start of idled capacity. In addition, the expanding
number of different uses for methanol and its derivatives over
the last several years has resulted in the methanol market
becoming more complex and subject to increasingly diverse
influences.

Reflecting the diversity of its uses, methanol demand is
influenced by a wide range of economic, industrial,
environmental and other factors and risks. See &#147;Risk
Factors and Risk Management&#148; in our 2006 MD&#38;A for more

<B><I>Chemical Derivative Demand. </I></B>In 2006, methanol for
the production of formaldehyde represented approximately 39% of
global methanol demand. The largest use for formaldehyde is as a
component of urea-formaldehyde and phenol-formaldehyde resins,
which are used as wood adhesives for plywood, particleboard,
oriented strand board, medium-density fibreboard and other
reconstituted or engineered wood products. There is also demand
for formaldehyde as a raw material for engineering plastics and
in the manufacture of a variety of other products, including
elastomers, paints, building products, foams, polyurethane and
automotive products.

In 2006, approximately 11% of all methanol produced annually was
used in the production of acetic acid. Acetic acid is a chemical
intermediate used principally in the production of vinyl acetate
monomer (&#147;VAM&#148;), acetic anhydride, purified
terephthalic acid and acetate solvents, which are used in a wide
variety of products including adhesives, paper, paints,
plastics, resins, solvents, pharmaceuticals and textiles. The
acetic acid industry has been benefiting from increasing demand
for water-based solvents produced with VAM for use in paints and
adhesives due to environmental concerns associated with
emissions of volatile organic compounds from other types of
solvents.

The remaining chemical derivative demand for methanol is in the
manufacture of methylamines, methyl methacrylate and a diverse
range of other chemical products which in turn are ultimately
used to make such products as adhesives, coatings, plastics,
film, textiles, paint, solvent, paint remover, polyester resins
and fibres, explosives, herbicides, pesticides and poultry feed
additives. Other end-uses include silicone products, aerosol
products, de-icing fluid, windshield washer fluid for

Reflecting the diversity of methanol&#146;s end-use products,
changes in chemical derivative demand are generally influenced
by levels of global industrial production and changes in
economic conditions. The use of derivatives of formaldehyde,
acetic acid and other products in the building industry means
that building and construction cycles and the level of wood
production, housing starts, refurbishments and consumer spending
are important factors in determining the level of chemical
derivative demand. Demand is also affected by automobile
production, durable goods production, industrial investment and
environmental and health trends, as well as new product
development in the panelboard and plastic packaging industries.
Historically, chemical derivative demand for methanol has been
relatively insensitive to changes in methanol prices. We believe
this demand inelasticity is due to the fact that there are few
cost-effective substitutes for methanol-based chemical
derivative products and because methanol costs typically account
for only a small portion of the value of many of the
end-products.

<B><I>MTBE and Energy Demand. </I></B>In 2006, methanol for the
production of MTBE represented approximately 16% of global
methanol demand. MTBE is used primarily as a source of octane
and as an oxygenate for gasoline. Other energy applications,
including biodiesel and fuel blending, account for approximately
6% of global methanol demand.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
During the 1990s, environmental concerns and legislation in the
US led to the introduction of a federal oxygenate standard for
gasoline which resulted in increased demand for MTBE for use in
gasoline in order to reduce automobile tailpipe emissions.
Subsequently, concerns in the US were raised regarding the use
of MTBE in gasoline. Gasoline containing MTBE has leaked into
groundwater in the US principally from underground gasoline
storage tanks and has been discharged directly into drinking
water reservoirs from recreational watercraft. MTBE is more
easily detectable in water than many other gasoline components.
The presence of MTBE in some water supplies led to public
concern about MTBE&#146;s potential to contaminate drinking
water supplies. Several states including California, New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut have, since 2003, banned the use of
MTBE as a gasoline component and this has reduced demand for
methanol in the US.

In 2005, the US federal government passed the Energy Policy Act
(&#147;EPACT&#148;) which contains provisions that have had the
effect of reducing demand for MTBE in the US. While EPACT does
not provide for a federal ban on the use of MTBE in gasoline, it
does waive the federal oxygenate standard for gasoline effective
May 2006.

In 2006, the estimated demand for methanol to make MTBE for use
in fuel blending in the United States was approximately
1.1&nbsp;million tonnes. We expect that in 2007, US demand for
methanol for MTBE will decline to approximately 0.8&nbsp;million
tonnes. This production is mainly destined for the export market
with MTBE no longer being consumed in the United States except
for non-fuel use. However, the pace of decline of US methanol
demand for MTBE is uncertain and will be determined by various
factors including the decision of US-based MTBE producers to
continue to make MTBE for export.

Additionally, the US EPA is preparing an Integrated Risk
Information System (IRIS)&nbsp;review of the human health
effects of MTBE including its potential carcinogenicity and
their final report is expected to be released in mid-2008.

The European Union issued a final risk assessment report on MTBE
in 2002 that permitted the continued use of MTBE although
several risk reduction measures relating to storage and handling
of MTBE-containing fuel were recommended. However, governmental
efforts in some European Union countries to promote biofuels and
alternative fuels through legislation and tax policy are putting
competitive pressures on the use of MTBE in gasoline. Several
European MTBE production facilities have commenced producing
ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE)&nbsp;to take advantage of such
tax incentives.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Elsewhere in the world, MTBE continues to be used as a source of
octane, but with growing usage for its clean air benefits. We
believe that there is potential for continuing growth in MTBE
use outside the US and Europe. Our belief is based on actions
being taken around the world to reduce lead, benzene and other
aromatics content in gasoline and to improve the emissions
performance of vehicles generally. A number of Asian countries,
including China, have adopted European specifications for
gasoline formulations. This is expected to lead to increased
consumption of MTBE in these markets.

These recent developments lead us to believe that in 2007 and
2008, global demand for MTBE will decline due to declining MTBE
production in the US and increasing incentives for biofuels in
Europe and Latin America. However, we expect that demand for
MTBE in Asia and the Middle East will continue to grow.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
There are several areas for methanol that show growth potential
including biodiesel and di-methyl ether (DME)&nbsp;and we are
working to promote methanol where there is long-term methanol
growth potential. Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from plant
oils or animal fats and requires an alcohol such as methanol as
part of the process. In 2006, global methanol demand for use in
biodiesel was estimated at 500,000 tonnes. We expect future
growth in biodiesel to be driven primarily by high energy prices
and government programs to promote a renewable alternative to
petroleum fuels.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
DME, which is typically produced from methanol, can be blended
up to 20% with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)&nbsp;and used for
household cooking and heating. DME can also be used as a clean
burning substitute for diesel in transportation and as a clean
fuel for power generation. In late 2006, we entered into a
long-term arrangement with China&#146;s XinAo Group under which
we will, beginning in late 2007, supply an initial quantity of
approximately 300,000&nbsp;tonnes per year of methanol to XinAo.
This methanol is required for a new DME production facility that
XinAo is developing near Shanghai which we have an option to
take an equity stake&nbsp;in.

As we enter 2007, we are experiencing healthy global economic
conditions and strong demand for methanol. We believe that
global chemical derivative demand growth for methanol and demand
in other energy applications will more than offset the expected
loss of demand for methanol to produce MTBE. We expect energy
prices to play an important role in determining the rate at
which methanol for energy use expands. However, there can be no
assurance that legislation banning or restricting the use of
MTBE, or promoting alternatives to MTBE, will not be passed or
that negative public perception of MTBE outside of the United
States may not develop, either of which would lead to a further
decrease in the global demand for MTBE.

While a significant amount of new methanol capacity has come on
stream over the past few years, a large number of higher cost
North American and European producers have shut down plants. In
addition, the industry has consistently operated significantly
below stated capacity, even in periods of high methanol prices,
due primarily to shutdowns for planned and unplanned repairs and
maintenance.
</DIV>

Newer world-scale methanol plants are generally constructed in
remote coastal locations with access to low cost natural gas,
although this advantage is sometimes offset by higher
distribution costs due to their distance to major markets. There
is typically a span of three to six years to plan and construct
a new world-scale methanol plant. As well, additional methanol
supply can potentially become available by re-starting methanol
plants whose production has been idled, by carrying out major
expansions of existing plants and by de-bottlenecking existing
plants to increase their production capacity.

In 2005, significant capacity additions were our own 840,000
tonne per year Chile IV facility, and the 1.8&nbsp;million tonne
M5 facility in Trinidad. In addition, a large number of
smaller-scale, coal-based plants were added in inland China
representing between two and three million tonnes of annual
capacity.

In 2006, the two significant capacity additions were the 600,000
tonne per year natural gas-based CNOOC Hainan Island facility in
China and the 550,000 tonne per year Togliatti facility in
Russia. In addition, numerous smaller-scale coal-based plants

Over the two-year period to the end of 2008, it is expected that
new capacity and expansions will add approximately
6.5&nbsp;million tonnes of capacity to the global industry,
outside of China. It is expected that the next increment of
world-scale capacity will be the 1.7&nbsp;million tonne per year
NPC facility in Iran which is expected to commence operations
during the first half of 2007. In addition, there is a
1.0&nbsp;million tonne per year plant in Oman under construction
and it is expected that product from this plant to be available
to the market during the second half of 2007. In 2008, it is
expected that approximately 3.4&nbsp;million tonnes of new
capacity may be added to the market from two world scale plants
in Iran and Saudi Arabia and other expansions. Over the same
period, it is also expected that additional plants to be
constructed in China. We continue to believe that under normal
market conditions, substantially all methanol production in
China will be consumed locally and that China will continue to
require imports to satisfy demand. We also believe that demand
for methanol in China will continue to grow at high rates which
will require significant capacity expansion and good operating
rates in China in order to satisfy the growth in its domestic
demand.

Over the two-year period to the end of 2008, we believe
approximately 3.3&nbsp;million tonnes of capacity could shut
down as a result of high feedstock prices. Methanex itself is
supplying methanol from two plants with a combined annual
capacity of approximately 1.4&nbsp;million tonnes that could
shut down over the next 12&nbsp;months. This includes our
530,000 tonne Waitara Valley facility located in New Zealand
which we are operating as a flexible asset and the
850,000&nbsp;tonne Celanese facility located in Alberta, Canada.
We are purchasing methanol from the Celanese facility under an
offtake agreement with Celanese Ltd. that expires March&nbsp;31,
2007. Over the same period, we believe that the methanol
industry will require new capacity outside of China to satisfy
traditional demand driven by general economic growth. In
addition, we believe there is considerable potential for demand
growth in emerging applications for methanol that may impact the
supply and demand balance favourably. These emerging
applications include biodiesel, methanol for power generation,
<FONT style="white-space: nowrap">di-methyl</FONT> ether
(DME)&nbsp;and fuel blending, with the latter two having the
largest growth prospects in China.

Typical of most cyclical commodity chemicals, periods of high
methanol prices encourage high cost production to operate at
maximum rates, construction of new plants and expansion projects
leading to the possibility of oversupply in the market. However,
historically, not all announced capacity additions result in the
completion of new plants. The construction of low-cost
world-scale methanol facilities requires significant capital
over a long lead time, a location with access to significant
natural gas reserves with appropriate pricing and an ability to
cost-effectively deliver methanol to customers. Obtaining access
to natural gas supply is becoming more challenging as natural
gas is increasingly being used for higher value uses such as
domestic use, LNG, or other chemical products. In addition,
plant construction phases have been extended and capital costs
have escalated due to increased demand for raw materials,
equipment and labour caused by increased construction activity
globally.

Methanol prices in the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific
have largely tracked each other, though often with leads or
lags. In times when prices in different markets diverge, product
from offshore suppliers moves into the higher priced market,
bringing the prices in different markets back into alignment.

The majority of methanol sold globally is priced with reference
to published regional contract prices to which discounts may be
applied. Spot market transactions, though limited in nature and
representing a relatively small portion of the total volume that
is transacted, also occur.

We publish regional non-discounted prices for each major
methanol market and these posted prices are reviewed and revised
from time to time based on industry fundamentals and market
conditions. The majority of our customer contracts now use
published Methanex reference prices as a basis for pricing and
customer discounts to these prices may apply based on various
factors. We believe that this pricing initiative has brought
greater transparency to methanol market pricing.

The methanol manufacturing process typically involves heating
natural gas, mixing it with steam and passing it over a nickel
catalyst where the mixture is converted into carbon monoxide,
carbon dioxide and hydrogen. This reformed gas (also known as
synthesis gas or syngas) is then cooled, compressed and passed
over a copper-zinc catalyst to produce crude methanol. Crude
methanol consists of approximately 80% methanol and 20% water by
weight. To produce chemical-grade methanol, crude methanol is
distilled to remove water, higher alcohols and other impurities.

take between three and four weeks. Catalysts generally need to
be changed every six years, although there is flexibility to
extend catalyst life if conditions warrant. Careful planning and

We sell methanol on a worldwide basis to every major market
through an extensive marketing and distribution system with
marketing offices in North America (Dallas and Vancouver),
Europe (Brussels and Billingham, England), Asia Pacific (Hong
Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo and Seoul) and Latin America (Santiago,
Chile).

Our methanol marketing strategy is based on three principles:
develop and maintain a strong customer base in the methanol
markets of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America
as well as in other markets that are strategically located in
relation to our production facilities; form direct customer
relationships rather than sell to methanol traders; and secure
and maintain long-term sales contracts with major end-users.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We believe our ability to sell methanol from our geographically
dispersed, multiple production sites enhances our ability to
secure major chemical and petrochemical producers as customers
for whom reliability of supply and quality of service are
important. Our global network of marketing offices, together
with our storage and terminal facilities and worldwide shipping
operations, also allow us to provide larger customers with
multinational sourcing of product and other customized
arrangements. As a result of our worldwide production, marketing
and distribution capabilities, we are the largest supplier to
the major international methanol markets and we believe we are a
preferred supplier to many large scale consumers in the methanol
industry.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We purchase additional methanol from other methanol suppliers
through long-term offtake agreements and from time to time on
the spot market in order to meet customer needs and support our
marketing efforts. We continually evaluate our ability to
cost-effectively serve markets from our facilities and we
maintain internal flexibility to quickly decide whether to
produce or buy methanol. Methanol that is purchased on the spot
market also provides us the opportunity to build our sales base
prior to bringing on our own new capacity. During 2006, we sold
about 1.1 million tonnes of methanol purchased from third
parties.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10.0pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Currently, over 90% of our sales are covered by long-term or
rolling one-year sales contracts. Pricing formulas under these
contracts are generally determined on the basis of published
Methanex reference prices at the time of shipment. In order to
reduce the impact of cyclical pricing on our earnings, we have
positioned ourselves with certain customers under long-term
contracts where prices are either fixed or linked to our costs
plus a margin and during 2006, sales under these contracts
represented about 20% of our total sales volumes. We believe it
is important to maintain financial flexibility throughout the
methanol price cycle and these strategic contracts are a part of
our balanced approach to the management of cash flow and
liquidity.

A market is beginning to be developed for the sale of methanol
for energy-related uses&nbsp;&#151; particularly for Dimethyl
Ether (&#147;DME&#148;) which can be blended with liquefied
petroleum gas (&#147;LPG&#148;) and methanol sold for making DME
is priced at a level that is related to its energy value in the
application.

The cost of methanol distribution represents a significant
portion of our total costs and is important to our overall
profitability. Our production hub in Chile currently supplies
customers primarily in Asia Pacific and Europe. The Atlas and
Titan plants in Trinidad supply customers primarily in the US
and Europe. Our 530,000 tonne per year Waitara Valley plant is a
flexible asset and supplies customers in Asia Pacific.

Methanol is pumped from our coastal plants by pipeline to
adjacent deepwater ports for shipping. We manage a fleet of
20&nbsp;ocean-going vessels to ship this methanol. In order to
retain optimal flexibility in the management of the fleet, we
have entered into short-term and long-term time charters
covering vessels with a range of capacities. We also ship
methanol under contracts of affreightment and through spot
arrangements. We use larger vessels as key elements in our
supply chain to move product from our production facilities to
storage facilities located in major ports. We use smaller
vessels capable of entering into restricted ports to deliver
directly to customers. We also lease or own storage and terminal
facilities in the US, Canada, Europe and Asia. In North America
and Europe we use barge, rail and, to a lesser extent, truck
transport in our delivery system.

Natural gas is the principal feedstock for methanol and accounts
for a significant portion of its total production costs.
Accordingly, our profitability depends in large part on both the
security of supply and the price of natural gas. An important
part of our strategy is to ensure long term security of supply
of low cost natural gas feedstock. If, for any reason, we are
unable to obtain sufficient natural gas for any of our plants on
commercially acceptable terms, we could be forced to curtail
production or close such plants.

affiliates of international oil and gas companies. Under our
current long-term natural gas purchase commitments for our Chile
facilities, the percentage of natural gas supplied from
Argentina would increase to approximately 80% in 2009. The
remainder is supplied from gas reserves in Chile, mainly from
ENAP (Empresa Nacional del Petr&#243;leo), a Chilean state-owned
company, and a small percentage purchased from an independent
natural gas producer with operations in Chile.

Natural gas for the Chile I and IV plants is supplied under
arrangements terminating in 2025 and natural gas export permits,
valid until 2025, are in place for the gas being supplied from
Argentina for those plants. Natural gas for the Chile II and III
plants is supplied under contracts terminating in 2017 and 2019
and gas export permits, valid until those dates, are in place
for gas being supplied from Argentina for those plants. Ten year
extensions of these contracts until 2027 and 2029 have been
agreed. Natural gas export permits in respect of the gas to be
sourced from Argentina under these extensions have not yet been
granted. Such permits are customarily only applied for a few
years prior to the contractual agreement becoming effective.

The purchase price of natural gas for our Chilean facilities is
based on a minimum US dollar base price plus a variable
component that is calculated based on methanol market prices.
The variable price component of the natural gas agreements for
our Chilean facilities is determined with reference to 12-month
trailing average published industry methanol prices, except
Chile I where, until mid-2009, the adjustment is related to our
average realized methanol price for the current calendar year.
Thereafter, the variable price component for Chile I will be
calculated with reference to 12-month trailing average published
industry methanol prices. The minimum US dollar price increases
annually under the Chile IV contract and, commencing in
mid-2009, will increase under the Chile I contract. Under the
terms of the contracts, the sellers are obligated to supply, and
we are obligated to take or pay for, a specified annual quantity
of natural gas. We also have an option to purchase up to an
additional specified amount each year.

Over the past few years, Argentina has been experiencing energy
shortages. To avoid these shortages, the Argentinean government
passed regulations that require Argentinean gas suppliers to
give priority to supplying the domestic market. This has
resulted in curtailments of gas supply to Chile as a result of
the Argentinean government ordering natural gas suppliers to
inject additional gas into the local grid. Since 2004, our
production facilities in Chile have been impacted by these
curtailments primarily during the winter period in the southern
hemisphere. From May to August of 2004 we lost approximately
50,000 tonnes of methanol production due to these curtailments.

same period in 2005 we lost about 100,000 tonnes of production.
In 2006, the curtailment period extended from May to November
and we lost about 50,000 tonnes of production. Our Chilean
operations have been, and continue to be, somewhat isolated from
this issue because of the location of our plants in the
southernmost region of Chile and the pipeline transportation
capacity to the population centers in Argentina. There is only
one major pipeline that runs from the south to central
Argentina. In 2005 the capacity of this pipeline was increased
by approximately 13%. Some additional investment in
infrastructure was made by our Argentinean natural gas suppliers
in 2005 which increased the supply of natural gas in the
southern region where we source our natural gas. The government
of Argentina is pursuing further pipeline expansion projects
although the timing around commencement and completion of these
projects is uncertain. To date, we are not aware of any such
projects receiving final approval from the government of
Argentina.

Effective July&nbsp;25, 2006, the government of Argentina
increased the duty on exports of natural gas from Argentina to
Chile, which have been in place since May 2004, from
approximately $0.30 per mmbtu to $2.25 per mmbtu. Exports of
natural gas from the province of Tierra del Fuego were exempt
from this duty until late October 2006 when the government of
Argentina extended this duty to include this province at the
same rates applicable to the other provinces. As a result, the
increased duty on exports of natural gas has been applied to all
of the natural gas feedstock that we source from Argentina. The
total cost of the export duty to our natural gas suppliers on an
annual basis has increased to approximately $200&nbsp;million.
While our contracts provide that gas suppliers are to pay any
duties levied by the government of Argentina, we are in
continuing discussions with our Argentinean natural gas
suppliers to reach longer term arrangements regarding the impact
of the increased export duty.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, we reached interim agreements
with all of our natural gas suppliers from Argentina. In
principle, we have agreed to share the cost of duties based in
part on prevailing methanol prices and we have gained some
flexibility to take the natural gas depending on prevailing
methanol market conditions and to the extent that these
arrangements are not economic then we will not purchase the
natural gas. While we are in continuing discussions to reach
longer term arrangements with our natural gas suppliers from
Argentina regarding the impact of the increased export duty, we
cannot provide assurance we will be able to reach satisfactory
longer term arrangements with them or that the impact of this
export duty will not have an adverse effect on our results of
operations and financial condition.

There are many variables beyond our control that could have an
effect on whether we suffer production losses as a result of the
potential disruption of natural gas supply from Argentina and we
are currently unable to provide a reasonable view as to the
amount of production losses that we might suffer in 2007. These
variables include the actions of government, actions of our gas
suppliers, claims of force majeure, outcomes of ongoing or
future arbitration or other proceedings, weather and other
variables which are currently unanticipated or beyond our
control.

We continue to work on sourcing additional natural gas for our
Chile facilities from alternative sources. There is renewed
interest in natural gas exploration in southern Chile and we are
working on sourcing additional natural gas supply for our Chile
facilities from alternative sources in Chile. As an example, our
major Chilean natural gas supplier, ENAP, and others, are
undertaking gas exploration and development programs in areas of
Chile which are relatively close to our production facilities.
If these programs are successful, there is a possibility that we
may be able to obtain some additional supply during 2007. In
addition, the Government of Chile has announced its intention to
assign exploration areas which lie close to our facilities in a
bidding round during 2007. However, there can be no assurance
that ENAP or others will be successful or that we would obtain
any additional natural gas on economic terms.

Since late 2005, large industrial natural gas consumers in
Trinidad, including Methanex, have experienced periodic
curtailments in their natural gas supply. Curtailments have
resulted from a number of different factors including
difficulties encountered in bringing new offshore natural gas
delivery systems on line and various mechanical problems in the
existing pipeline and distribution systems. Also, the
commissioning of new facilities consuming large amounts of
natural gas has put stress on the natural gas delivery system.
We are working with our natural gas supplier and other large
natural gas consumers in Trinidad concerning this issue.
However, we expect that these curtailments will continue in 2007
and there can be no assurance that production losses will not be
materially worse than we have experienced in the recent past.

We have restructured our New Zealand operations over the past
few years due to natural gas supply constraints in New Zealand.
In 2004, we permanently closed the 1.9&nbsp;million tonnes per
year Motunui facility. Since then, we have been operating our
530,000 tonne per year Waitara Valley facility. This plant is
positioned as a flexible production asset with operations
dependant upon methanol industry supply and demand and the
availability of natural gas on commercially acceptable terms. In
2006, we produced about 400,000 tonnes of methanol at the
Waitara Valley plant. In January 2007, we secured additional
amounts of natural gas which, combined with our existing gas
entitlements, is expected to enable the New Zealand plant to
operate at least until the end of 2007 and produce approximately
425,000 tonnes of methanol.

imposition of taxes on such payments or advances. We have
organized our foreign operations in part based on certain
assumptions about various tax laws (including capital gains and
withholding taxes), foreign currency exchange and capital
repatriation laws and other relevant laws of a variety of
foreign jurisdictions. While we believe that such assumptions

Trade in methanol is subject to duty in a number of
jurisdictions. For instance, methanol sold in China from any of
our producing regions is subject to a duty of 5.5%. Methanol
from Chile which is sold in Japan and Korea, the other major

New Zealand has enacted legislation to safeguard claims by Maori
tribes (the indigenous people of New Zealand) against lands
previously owned by state-owned enterprises and subsequently
privatized. The land on which certain parts of the
infrastructure for the Waitara Valley and Motunui plants are
located (for example, a tank farm and various pipelines and
pipeline valve and mixing stations) are subject to this
legislation. There is a possibility that the tribunal that deals
with Maori land claims could recommend the return of such land
to Maori ownership. The New Zealand Government would be required
to comply with such a recommendation, subject to payment of
compensation to the affected owner. We believe that, subject to
receiving adequate compensation, such a forced divestment would
not likely have a material adverse effect on our operations or
financial condition. The land upon which the Waitara Valley and

The application of Responsible Care at Methanex begins with our
Board of Directors, where we have a Responsible Care Committee,
and extends throughout our organization. Responsible Care is
implemented through documented management systems. The
effectiveness of many of these management systems is measured
using an audit process that we apply to our business operations.
This process is designed to ensure ongoing compliance, identify

financial performance, effective and innovative minimization of
environmental impacts and improved quality of life, particularly
in communities where our employees reside.

Some of the countries in which we operate have different
standards than those applied in North America. Our policy is to
adopt the more stringent of either Responsible Care practices or
local regulatory or association requirements at all of our
facilities.

In 2005, we also formally adopted a policy on Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR), linking this ethic with our Responsible
Care ethic. Our CSR policy encompasses governance, employee
engagement and development, community involvement, social
investment and many other activities that have long been part of
our culture. We feel that adopting the tenets of CSR is a
natural extension of our commitment to Responsible Care.

The majority of our revenues are derived from the sale of
methanol produced at our plants. Our business is subject to the
normal hazards of methanol production operations that could
result in damage to our plants. Under certain conditions,
prolonged shutdowns of plants due to unforeseen equipment
breakdowns, interruptions in the supply of natural gas or
oxygen, power failures, loss of port facilities or any other
event, including any event of force majeure, could materially
adversely affect our revenues and operating income. We maintain
insurance including business interruption insurance, subject to
certain deductibles, that we consider to be adequate under the
circumstances. However, there can be no assurance that we will
not incur losses beyond the limits or outside the coverage of
such insurance. From time to time, various types of insurance
for companies in the chemical and petrochemical industries have
been very expensive or, in some cases, unavailable. There can be
no assurance that in the future we will be able to maintain
existing coverage or that premiums will not increase
substantially.

The methanol industry is highly competitive. Methanol is a
global commodity and customers base their purchasing decisions
primarily on price and reliability of supply. The relative cost
and availability of natural gas and the efficiency of production
facilities are also important competitive factors. Some of our
competitors are not dependent for revenues on a single product
and some have greater financial resources than we do. Our
competitors include state-owned enterprises. Because of our
ability to service our customers globally, the reliability and
cost-effectiveness of our distribution system and the enhanced
service we provide our customers, we believe we are well
positioned to compete in each of the major international
methanol markets.

The Company pays a quarterly dividend on its common shares. The
first quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share was paid on
September&nbsp;30, 2002. The quarterly dividend was increased to
$0.06 per share effective September&nbsp;30, 2003 and was
further increased to $0.08 per share effective
September&nbsp;30, 2004. The quarterly dividend was increased to
$0.11&nbsp;per share effective June&nbsp;30, 2005 and was
further increased to $0.125 per share effective June&nbsp;30,
2006. The Company&#146;s Board of Directors, at a meeting held
on March&nbsp;2, 2007, designated each dividend paid in 2006 to
be an &#147;eligible dividend&#148; for the purposes of Canadian
tax law.

The Committee is appointed by the Board to assist the Board in
fulfilling its oversight responsibility relating to: the
integrity of the Corporation&#146;s financial statements; the
financial reporting process; the systems of internal accounting
and financial controls; the professional qualifications and
independence of the external auditor&#146;s; the performance of
the external auditors; risk management processes; financing
plans; pension plans; and compliance by the Corporation with

The Committee&#146;s role is one of oversight. It is the
responsibility of the Corporation&#146;s management to plan
audits and to prepare consolidated financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and it
is the responsibility of the Corporation&#146;s external auditor
to audit these financial statements. Therefore, each member of
the Committee, in exercising his or her business judgment, shall
be entitled to rely on the integrity of those persons and
organizations within and outside the Corporation from whom he or
she receives information, and on the accuracy of the financial
and other information provided to the Committee by such persons
or organizations. The Committee does not provide any expert or
other special assurances as to the Corporation&#146;s financial
statements or any expert or professional certification as to the
work of the Corporation&#146;s external auditor. In addition,
all members of the Committee are equally responsible for
discharging the responsibilities of the Committee and the
designation of one member as an &#147;audit committee financial
expert&#148; pursuant to the Applicable Rules (as defined below)
is not a statement of intention by the Corporation to impose
upon such designee duties, obligations or liability greater than
those imposed on such a director in the absence of such
designation.

    Methanex is the world&#146;s largest producer and marketer of
    methanol. Our core production hubs in Chile and Trinidad have an
    annual production capacity of 5.8&#160;million tonnes and
    represent over 90% of our current annual production capacity. We
    also produce methanol from our flexible 0.5&#160;million tonne
    per year production facility in Waitara Valley, New Zealand. In
    addition to the methanol we produce, we purchase methanol
    produced by others under methanol offtake contracts in order to
    meet customer requirements and support our marketing efforts.
    Our total sales volumes in 2006 were 7.0&#160;million tonnes
    representing approximately 19% of estimated global demand for
    methanol. We believe our global positioning, including our
    extensive network of storage terminals, and expertise in the
    global distribution of methanol is a competitive advantage.

    Methanol is a chemical produced primarily from natural gas.
    Approximately 80% of all methanol is used in the production of
    formaldehyde, acetic acid and a variety of other chemicals for
    which demand is influenced by levels of global economic
    activity. These chemical derivatives are used in the manufacture
    of a wide range of products including plywood, particleboard,
    foams, resins and plastics. The remainder of methanol demand is
    largely in the energy sector for the production of methyl
    tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), a gasoline component, and as a
    direct fuel for motor vehicles. There are also developing
    markets for using methanol in bio-diesel, methanol for power
    generation, di-methyl ether (DME) and fuel blending.

    Due to the diversity of the end products in which methanol is
    used, demand for methanol is influenced by a broad range of
    economic, industrial and environmental factors. The global
    demand for methanol in 2006 is estimated at approximately
    38&#160;million tonnes.

    Maintaining a low cost structure is an important element of
    competitive advantage in a commodity industry and is a key
    element of our strategy. Our approach to all business decisions
    is guided by our drive to maintain and enhance our low cost
    structure. The most significant components of our costs are
    natural gas for feedstock and distribution costs associated with
    delivering methanol to customers.

    Natural gas is the primary feedstock at our methanol production
    facilities. An important element of our strategy is to ensure
    long-term security of natural gas supply. Over time we have been
    reducing our reliance on high cost production. We have
    positioned our facilities in New Zealand as flexible production
    assets with future operations dependant upon methanol industry
    supply and demand and the availability of natural gas on
    commercially acceptable terms. With the permanent closure of our
    Kitimat facility in 2005, we have eliminated our exposure to
    high cost North American natural gas feedstock.

    Our production facilities in Chile currently source
    approximately 62% of their natural gas feedstock from Argentina.
    During 2006, the government of Argentina passed new legislation
    increasing the existing duty on natural gas exports paid by our
    natural gas suppliers. While our gas contracts provide that
    duties levied by the government of Argentina are payable by the
    natural gas suppliers, we are in continuing discussions with our
    suppliers from Argentina regarding the impact of the increased
    export duty&#160;&#151; refer to the <I>Production Summary</I>
    and <I>Risk Factors and Risk Management</I> sections for further
    information. We continue to seek alternative sources of natural
    gas supply to our Chile facilities to minimize the impact of the
    increased export duty on our operations. There is interest in
    natural gas exploration in areas of Southern Chile that are
    relatively close to our production facilities and we are
    optimistic that this activity will ultimately provide us with
    improved

    The cost to distribute methanol from our production facilities
    to our customers is also a significant component of our
    operating costs. These include costs for ocean shipping,
    in-market storage facilities and in-market distribution. We are
    focused on identifying initiatives to reduce these costs. We
    seek to use larger vessels where possible and to maximize the
    use of our shipping fleet to reduce costs. We take advantage of
    prevailing conditions in the shipping market by varying the type
    and length of term of our ocean vessel contracts. We are
    continuously investigating opportunities to further improve the
    efficiency and cost-effectiveness of distributing methanol from
    our production facilities to our customers. We also look for
    opportunities to leverage our global asset position by entering
    into product exchanges with other methanol producers to reduce
    our distribution costs.

    network we were able to adjust our operations and deliver on our
    commitments to customers during this period of high demand.

    criteria. We also believe that it is prudent to maintain a
    conservative balance sheet and we have established a track

    Our operations consist of a single operating segment&#160;&#151;
    the production and sale of methanol. We review our results of
    operations by analyzing changes in the components of our
    Adjusted EBITDA (refer to <I>Supplemental Non-GAAP Measures
    </I>on page&#160;31 for a reconciliation to the most comparable
    GAAP measure), depreciation and amortization, interest expense,
    interest and other income, unusual items and income taxes. In
    addition to the methanol that we produce at our facilities, we
    also purchase and re-sell methanol produced by others and sell
    methanol on a commission basis. In analyzing the changes in
    Adjusted EBITDA, we separately analyze the results of
    Company-produced methanol sales from purchased methanol sales as
    the margin characteristics of each are very different.

    Our level of Adjusted EBITDA is highly dependant on the margin
    earned from our Company-produced methanol. Sales volumes of
    Company-produced methanol will depend on the amount of
    production from our methanol facilities, which in turn is based
    on how well the plants operate, the timing of scheduled
    maintenance and other factors. The key drivers of changes in our
    Adjusted EBITDA for Company-produced methanol are average
    realized price, sales volume and cash costs. We provide separate
    discussion of the changes in Adjusted EBITDA related to our core
    Chile and Trinidad production hubs and the changes in Adjusted
    EBITDA related to our New Zealand and Kitimat facilities.

    Our production hubs in Chile and Trinidad have an annual
    operating capacity of 5.8&#160;million tonnes per year. These
    production hubs are underpinned by long-term

    natural gas purchase agreements and the operating results for
    these facilities represent a substantial portion of our Adjusted
    EBITDA. Accordingly, in our analysis of Adjusted EBITDA for our

    impact of changes in average realized price, sales volume and
    cash costs.

    Our 530,000 tonne per year Waitara Valley facility in New
    Zealand operated for most of 2006 and has been positioned as a
    flexible production asset. We permanently closed our Kitimat
    facility on November&#160;1, 2005 and sold the remaining
    production from this facility in early 2006. These facilities
    incur higher production costs and their operating results
    represent a smaller proportion of our Adjusted EBITDA.
    Accordingly, the impact of changes in average realized price,
    sales volume and cash costs on the Adjusted EBITDA for our New
    Zealand and Kitimat facilities has been combined and presented
    as the change in cash margin.

    We augment our marketing operations by purchasing methanol from
    other producers. This provides flexibility in our supply chain
    to optimize shipping costs and respond to changes in our
    production levels and customer requirements. The amount of
    methanol we purchase from others will depend on these and other
    factors and consequently sales of purchased product vary from
    period to period. Sales of purchased methanol represent a lower
    proportion of our Adjusted EBITDA because the cost of purchased
    methanol consists principally of the cost of the methanol
    itself, which is directly related to the price of methanol at
    the time of purchase. Accordingly, the analysis of purchased
    methanol and its impact on our Adjusted EBITDA is discussed on a
    net margin basis.

    We also sell methanol on a commission basis, where we do not
    take risk and title to the product. Commission sales represent
    volumes marketed on a commission basis related to the 36.9% of
    the Atlas methanol facility in Trinidad that we do not own. The
    product that we sell on a commission basis from the Atlas
    facility is sold in the United States and Europe. The proportion

    We produced 3.2&#160;million tonnes during 2006 at our
    production hub in Chile compared with 3.0&#160;million tonnes
    during 2005 and compared with production capacity in 2006 of
    3.8&#160;million tonnes. During 2006, we performed planned
    maintenance at our Chile I facility resulting in lost production
    of approximately 60,000 tonnes. We experienced some unplanned
    outages at our Chile IV methanol facility, which commenced
    operations in the second half of 2005. We believe that we have
    addressed all of the major operational issues and we expect to
    achieve improved reliability at our Chile IV facility in 2007.
    These issues, combined with other technical issues experienced
    at our Chile facilities, resulted in lost production of
    approximately 220,000 tonnes during 2006. Our natural gas
    suppliers to our Chile facilities delivered less than contracted
    volumes due to technical failures and other issues during 2006
    and this resulted in lost production of approximately 260,000
    tonnes. Natural gas supply to our Chile facilities was also
    impacted by curtailments of natural gas supply as a result of
    redirection orders from the government of Argentina during 2006,
    resulting in lost production of approximately 50,000 tonnes. For
    the past three years, the government of Argentina has ordered
    natural gas suppliers to inject additional gas into the local
    grid during the winter period in the southern hemisphere (May
    through August). The remaining lost production of 64,000 tonnes
    during 2006 was primarily a result of disruptions in natural gas
    supply from Argentina as a result of curtailments by certain
    suppliers during negotiations related to export duties.

    We currently source 62% of our natural gas requirements for our
    production facilities in Chile from natural gas suppliers in
    Argentina that are affiliates of international oil and gas
    companies. The remaining natural gas requirements are supplied
    from gas reserves in Chile, mainly by Empresa Nacional del
    Petroleo (ENAP), the Chilean state-owned energy company.

    Effective July&#160;25, 2006, the government of Argentina
    increased the duty on exports of natural gas from Argentina to
    Chile, which has been in place since May 2004, from
    approximately $0.30 per mmbtu to $2.25 per mmbtu. Exports of
    natural gas from the province of Tierra del Fuego were exempt
    from this duty until late October 2006 when the government of
    Argentina extended this duty to include this province at the
    same rates applicable to the other provinces. As a result, the
    increased duty on exports of natural gas is applicable to all of
    the natural gas feedstock that we source from Argentina. The
    total annual cost of the export duty to our natural gas
    suppliers from Argentina has increased to approximately
    $200&#160;million. While our natural gas contracts provide that
    natural gas suppliers are to pay any duties levied by the
    government of Argentina, we are in continuing discussions with
    our natural gas suppliers from Argentina regarding the impact of
    the increased export duty.

    During 2006, we reached interim agreements with all of our
    natural gas suppliers from Argentina. In principle, we have
    agreed to share the cost of duties based in part on prevailing
    methanol prices. We have gained some flexibility to take the
    natural gas depending on prevailing methanol market conditions,
    and to the extent that these arrangements are not economic, then
    we will not purchase the natural gas. While we are in continuing
    discussions to reach longer-term arrangements with our natural
    gas suppliers from Argentina regarding the impact of the
    increased export duty, we cannot provide assurance that we will
    be able to reach satisfactory longer-term arrangements with our
    natural gas supplies or that the impact of this export duty will
    not have an adverse effect on our results of operations and
    financial condition. As at December&#160;31, 2006, we accrued
    $26&#160;million to record the estimated cost of sharing export
    duties for natural gas consumed in 2006. Approximately
    $8&#160;million was charged to earnings during the fourth
    quarter of 2006 and the remaining amount is included in the cost
    of our inventory and will be charged to earnings when the
    inventory is sold.

    We continue to work on sourcing additional natural gas supply
    for our Chile facilities from alternative sources. There is
    renewed interest in natural gas exploration in the southern
    regions of Chile. As an example, our Chilean natural gas
    supplier, ENAP, and others are undertaking gas exploration and
    development programs in areas of Chile that are relatively close
    to our production facilities. If these programs are successful
    we believe that some additional gas could be available during
    2007. In addition, the Government of Chile has announced its
    intention to assign exploration areas which lie close to our
    facilities in a bidding round during 2007. However, there can be
    no assurance that ENAP or others will be successful or that we
    would obtain any additional natural gas on economic terms. For
    further information on natural gas exploration in Chile refer to
    the <I>Risk Factors and Risk Management</I> section on
    page&#160;23.

    There are many factors that impact our global and regional
    revenue levels. The methanol business is a global commodity
    industry affected by supply and demand fundamentals. Due to the
    diversity of the end products in which methanol is used, demand
    for methanol largely depends upon levels of industrial
    production and changes in general economic conditions, which can
    vary across the major international methanol markets.

    Revenue for 2006 was $2.1&#160;billion compared with
    $1.7&#160;billion during 2005. Total sales volumes of produced
    and purchased methanol during 2006 were 6.4&#160;million tonnes
    compared with 6.5&#160;million tonnes in 2005. The increase in
    revenue was primarily due to our higher average realized price
    in 2006 compared with 2005. We entered 2006 with tight market
    conditions as a result of high global energy prices, industry
    supply constraints and healthy demand, which resulted in
    continued strong pricing for the first half of 2006. During the
    third quarter of 2006, planned and unplanned supplier outages
    significantly reduced global inventory levels. This led to a
    dramatic increase in pricing in September and again in October
    and these high prices continued throughout the remainder of
    2006. Our average realized price for 2006 was $328 per tonne
    compared with $254 per tonne in 2005. Our higher average
    realized price during 2006 increased revenue by
    $480&#160;million compared with 2005 while slightly lower sales
    volumes decreased revenue by $30&#160;million.

    The methanol industry is highly competitive and prices are
    affected by supply and demand fundamentals. We publish
    non-discounted reference prices for each major methanol market
    and offer discounts to customers based on various factors. Our
    average non-discounted published reference price for 2006 was
    $396 per tonne compared with $301 per tonne in 2005. Our average
    realized price in 2006 was approximately 17% lower than our
    average non-discounted published reference price compared with
    approximately 16% lower for 2005.

    To reduce the impact of cyclical pricing on our earnings, we
    have entered into long-term contracts for a portion of our
    production volume with certain global customers where prices are
    either fixed or linked to our costs plus a margin. In 2006,
    sales under these contracts represented approximately 20% of our
    total sales volumes. The increase in the discount from our
    average non-discounted published reference price in 2006
    compared with 2005 is primarily the result of higher methanol
    prices in 2006. The discount from our non-discounted published
    reference prices is expected to narrow during periods of lower
    pricing. We believe it is important to maintain financial
    flexibility throughout the methanol price cycle and these
    strategic contracts are a part of our balanced approach to
    managing cash flow and liquidity.

    Our revenue distribution for 2006 is relatively comparable to
    2005 except for changes in Canada, the United States and Japan.
    Revenue related to customers in Canada as a proportion of our
    total revenue increased as a result of our increased marketing
    efforts in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. We are
    able to leverage our ability to import methanol through the
    Kitimat terminal to supply this attractive market. Revenue in
    the United States decreased as a proportion of total sales
    revenue primarily due to lower sales volumes to customers using
    methanol in the production of MTBE for consumption in the United
    States. The production of MTBE for consumption in the United
    States was largely phased out by mid-2006 and the remaining
    production of MTBE in the United States is mainly destined for
    export markets. Revenue related to customers in Japan decreased
    as a proportion of our total revenue as a result of changes in
    our distribution channels in Japan.

    We review our results of operations by analyzing changes in the

    that we produce at our facilities, we also purchase and re-sell
    methanol produced by others. In analyzing the changes in
    Adjusted EBITDA, we separately analyze the results of our Chile
    and Trinidad produced methanol sales, our New Zealand and
    Kitimat produced methanol sales, and our purchased methanol
    sales, as the margin characteristics of each are very different.

    Natural gas supply contracts for our assets in Chile and
    Trinidad include base and variable price components to reduce
    our commodity price risk exposure. The variable price component
    of each gas contract is adjusted by a formula related to
    methanol prices above a certain level. We believe this pricing
    relationship enables these facilities to be competitive

    objective of cost-effectively delivering methanol to our

    of these costs from our customers. These costs increased during

    average price of US$21.91 per share, totaling $187&#160;million.
    At December&#160;31, 2006, we had repurchased a total of

    During 2005, we completed the construction of Chile IV, an
    840,000 tonne per year expansion to our production facilities in
    Chile. During 2005, we recorded $30&#160;million of incentive
    tax credits related to the construction of Chile IV and this
    decreased the total capital expenditures related to Chile IV to
    $247&#160;million. The tax credits were recorded as a reduction
    to property, plant and equipment and an increase to receivables
    and this resulted in an increase to non-cash working capital
    related to investing activities of $30&#160;million in 2005. In
    2006, we collected $28&#160;million of the tax credits and we
    collected the remaining balance in early 2007. The collection of
    incentive tax credits in 2006 resulted in a decrease to non-cash
    working capital related to investing activities of
    $28&#160;million. The benefit of these tax credits will be
    recognized in earnings through lower depreciation in future
    periods.

    Natural gas supply contracts for our assets in Chile and

    base and variable price components to reduce our commodity price
    risk exposure. The variable price component of each gas contract

    certain level. We believe this pricing relationship enables
    these facilities to be competitive throughout the methanol price
    cycle. The amounts disclosed in the table represent only the

    In Chile, we purchase all of our natural gas through long-term
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">take-or-pay</FONT>
    supply agreements. Approximately 62% of the natural gas for our
    Chilean facilities is purchased from suppliers in Argentina with
    the remainder supplied from gas reserves in Chile, mainly by
    Empresa Nacional del Petroleo (ENAP), the Chilean state-owned
    energy company. Refer to <I>Production Summary</I> and <I>Risk
    Factors and Risk Management</I> sections for further information
    regarding natural gas supply to our production facilities in
    Chile. Natural gas for the Chile I and IV plants is supplied
    under contracts terminating in 2025 and natural gas export
    permits, valid until 2025, are in place for the gas being
    supplied from Argentina for those plants. Natural gas for the
    Chile II and III plants is supplied under contracts terminating
    in 2017 and 2019 and gas export permits, valid until those
    dates, are in place for gas being supplied from Argentina for
    those plants. Agreements for ten-year extensions of these
    contracts, until 2027 and 2029 are in place. Natural gas export
    permits for the gas to be sourced from Argentina under these
    extensions have not yet been granted. Such permits are
    customarily only applied for a few years before the contractual
    agreement becomes effective. Accordingly, we have not included
    ten-year extension periods for the Chile II and III plants in
    the contractual obligations and commercial commitments summary
    above.

    The methanol business is a highly competitive commodity industry
    and prices are affected by supply and demand fundamentals.
    Methanol prices have historically been, and are expected to
    continue to be, characterized by significant cyclicality. New
    methanol plants are expected to be built and this will increase
    overall production capacity. Additional methanol supply can also
    become available in the future by restarting idle methanol
    plants, carrying out major expansions of existing plants or
    debottlenecking existing plants to increase their production
    capacity. Historically, higher cost plants have been shut down
    or idled when methanol prices are low but there can be no
    assurance that this trend will occur in the future. Demand for
    methanol largely depends upon levels of industrial production
    and changes in general economic conditions.

    Changes in environmental, health and safety requirements could
    also lead to a decrease in methanol demand. The United States
    Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is preparing internal
    reports relating to the human health effects of methanol
    including its potential carcinogenicity and their final report
    is expected to be released in mid-2008. Currently, the EPA does
    not classify methanol with respect to carcinogenicity. We are
    unable to determine at this time whether the EPA or any other
    body will reclassify methanol. Any reclassification could reduce
    future methanol demand which could have an adverse effect on our
    results of operations and financial condition.

    provide assurance that demand for methanol will increase at all,
    or increase sufficiently to absorb additional production, or
    that the price of methanol will not decline. Since methanol is
    the only product we produce and market, a decline in the price
    of methanol would have an adverse effect on our results of

    In Chile, we purchase all of our natural gas through long-term
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">take-or-pay</FONT>
    supply agreements. Currently, approximately 62% of the natural
    gas for our Chilean facilities is purchased from suppliers in
    Argentina with the remainder supplied from gas reserves in
    Chile, mainly by Empresa Nacional del Petroleo (ENAP), the
    Chilean state-owned energy company. Under our current long-term
    natural gas purchase commitments for our Chile facilities, the
    percentage of natural gas supplied from Argentina would increase
    to approximately 80% in 2009. Over the past few years, Argentina
    has been experiencing energy shortages. To avoid these
    shortages, the government of Argentina passed regulations that
    require Argentinean gas suppliers to give priority to supplying
    the domestic market. This has resulted in curtailments of gas
    supply to Chile as a result of the government of Argentina
    ordering natural gas suppliers to inject additional gas into the
    local grid. Since 2004, our production facilities in Chile have
    been impacted by these curtailments, primarily during the winter
    period in the southern hemisphere. In 2004 and 2005, we lost
    approximately 50,000 tonnes and 100,000 tonnes of methanol
    production, respectively, due to these curtailments. In 2006,
    the curtailment period extended from May to November and we lost
    about 50,000 tonnes of production.

    Our Chilean operations have been, and continue to be, somewhat
    isolated from this issue because of the location of our plants
    in the southernmost region of Chile and the pipeline
    transportation capacity to the population centers in Argentina.
    There is only one major pipeline that runs from the south to the
    central region of Argentina. In 2005, the capacity of this
    pipeline was increased by approximately 13%. Some additional
    investment in infrastructure was made by our Argentinean gas
    suppliers in 2005, which increased the supply of natural gas in
    the southern region where we source our gas. The government of
    Argentina is pursuing further pipeline expansion projects,
    although the timing around commencement and completion of these
    projects is uncertain. To date, we are not aware of any such
    projects receiving final approval from the government of
    Argentina.

    In July 2006, the government of Argentina increased the duty on
    exports of natural gas from Argentina to Chile, which has been
    in place since May 2004, from approximately $0.30 per mmbtu to
    $2.25 per mmbtu. Exports of natural gas from the province of
    Tierra del Fuego were exempt from this duty until late October
    2006 when the government of Argentina extended this duty to
    include this province at the same rates applicable to the other
    provinces. As a result, the increased duty on exports of natural
    gas is applicable to all of the natural gas feedstock that we
    source from Argentina. The total cost of the export duty to our
    natural gas suppliers on an annual basis has increased to
    approximately $200&#160;million. While our gas contracts provide
    that gas suppliers are to pay any duties levied by the
    government of Argentina, we are in continuing discussions with
    our Argentinean natural gas suppliers regarding the impact of
    the increased export duty.

    During the fourth quarter of 2006, we reached interim agreements
    with all of our natural gas suppliers from Argentina. In
    principle, we have agreed to share the cost of duties and we
    have gained some flexibility to take the natural gas depending
    on prevailing methanol market conditions. We are in continuing
    discussions with our natural gas suppliers to reach longer-term
    arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that we will be
    successful in entering into longer-term arrangements with our
    natural gas suppliers from Argentina. As well, there can be no
    assurance that the natural gas suppliers will not take the
    position that the imposition of such duties relieves them of the
    obligation to deliver natural gas under the contracts.

    As a result, there are many variables beyond our control that
    could have an effect on whether we experience production losses
    as a result of the potential disruption of natural gas supply
    from Argentina and we are currently unable to provide a
    reasonable view as to the amount of production losses that we
    might experience in 2007. These variables include the actions of
    government, actions of our gas suppliers, claims of force

    Since late 2005, large industrial natural gas consumers in
    Trinidad, including Methanex, have experienced periodic
    curtailments in their natural gas supply. Curtailments have
    resulted from a number of different factors including
    difficulties encountered in bringing new offshore natural gas
    delivery systems on line and various mechanical problems in the
    existing pipeline and distribution systems. Also, the
    commissioning of new facilities consuming large amounts of
    natural gas has put stress on the natural gas delivery system.
    We are working with our natural gas supplier and other large
    natural gas consumers in Trinidad concerning this issue.
    However, we expect that these curtailments will continue in 2007
    and there can be no assurance that production losses will not be
    materially worse than we have experienced in the recent past.

    few years due to natural gas supply constraints in New Zealand.
    In 2004, we permanently closed the 1.9&#160;million tonne per

    plant has been positioned as a flexible production asset with
    operations dependant upon methanol industry supply and demand
    and the availability of natural gas on commercially acceptable
    terms. In 2006, we produced about 400,000 tonnes of methanol at
    the Waitara Valley plant and in January 2007, we secured
    additional amounts of natural gas which, combined with our
    existing gas entitlements, are expected to enable this plant to
    operate at least until the end of 2007 and produce approximately
    425,000 tonnes of methanol in 2007. We continue to seek other

    extend the life of our New Zealand operations; however, there
    can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional
    gas on commercially acceptable terms.

    In 2006, methanol for the production of MTBE represented
    approximately 16% of global methanol demand. MTBE is used
    primarily as a source of octane and as an oxygenate for
    gasoline. During the 1990s, environmental concerns and
    legislation in the US led to the imposition of a federal
    oxygenate standard for gasoline that resulted in increased
    demand for MTBE for use in gasoline to reduce automobile
    tailpipe emissions.

    Over the last few years, concerns have been raised in the US
    regarding the use of MTBE in gasoline. Gasoline containing MTBE
    has leaked into groundwater in the US, principally from
    underground gasoline storage tanks, and has also been discharged
    directly into drinking water reservoirs. As a result, several
    states including California, New York, New Jersey and
    Connecticut banned the use of MTBE as a gasoline component and
    this reduced demand for methanol in the US.
</DIV>

    In 2005, the United States federal government passed the Energy
    Policy Act (EPACT), which contains provisions that have had the
    effect of further reducing demand for MTBE in the US. While
    EPACT does not provide for a federal ban on the use of MTBE in
    gasoline, it does waive the federal oxygenate standard for
    gasoline effective May 2006 and does not provide MTBE producers
    and blenders with liability protection.

    About two million tonnes of methanol was used in the production
    of MTBE in the US in 2005. This was reduced to about
    1.1&#160;million tonnes in 2006 and we expect that this will be
    further reduced to about 0.8&#160;million tonnes in 2007. This
    production is mainly destined for the export market as MTBE is
    no longer being consumed in the US except for non-fuel use.
    However, the pace of decline of US methanol demand for MTBE is
    uncertain and will be determined by various factors including
    the decision of US-based MTBE producers to continue to make MTBE
    for export. Most US refiners have already stated that they will
    stop the production and blending of MTBE for gasoline at some
    point.

    The EPA is preparing an IRIS review of the human health effects
    of MTBE including its potential carcinogenicity, and their final
    report is expected to be released in mid-2008. The European
    Union issued a final risk assessment report on MTBE in 2002 that
    permitted the continued use of MTBE, although several risk
    reduction measures relating to the storage and handling of
    MTBE-containing fuel were recommended. However, governmental
    efforts in some European Union countries to promote bio-fuels
    and alternative fuels through legislation and tax policy are
    putting competitive pressures on the use of MTBE in gasoline.
    Several European MTBE production facilities have commenced
    production of ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE) to take
    advantage of these tax incentives to produce bio-fuels.

    Elsewhere in the world, MTBE continues to be used as a source of
    octane, but with growing use for its clean air benefits. We
    believe that there is potential for continuing growth in MTBE
    use outside the United States and Europe. Our belief is based on
    actions being taken around the world to reduce lead, benzene and
    other aromatics content in gasoline and to improve the emissions
    performance of vehicles generally. A number of Asian countries,
    including China, have adopted European specifications for
    gasoline formulations. This is expected to lead to increased
    consumption of MTBE in these markets.

    Methanol is a global commodity and our earnings are primarily
    affected by fluctuations in the methanol price, which is
    directly impacted by the balance of methanol supply and demand.
    Demand growth for methanol is driven primarily by growth in
    industrial production, energy prices and the strength of the
    global economy.

    During the second half of 2006 global inventory levels were very
    low as a result of planned and unplanned supplier outages and
    strong demand. As a result, methanol prices increased
    substantially in September and again in October and pricing
    remained at these high levels for the remainder of 2006.

    We estimate that global demand for methanol in 2006 increased by
    approximately 6% over 2005 to a total of 38 million tonnes,
    despite the phasing out of MTBE in the US. The increase in
    demand was driven primarily by an increase in demand for
    methanol in China, strong global economies leading to strong
    global demand for methanol in the traditional chemical
    derivatives markets and an increase in demand for methanol in
    energy-related markets. During 2006, demand for methanol in
    China was very strong and grew at higher rates than we expected
    for both traditional uses and non-traditional uses such as
    gasoline fuel

    capacity additions in China representing approximately 3.5
    million tonnes per year and one significant addition of a
    600,000 tonne per year natural gas based plant located on Hainan
    Island. The only significant capacity addition outside of China
    was the 550,000 tonne per year Togliatti plant in Russia that
    commenced operations towards the end of 2006.

    Over the two-year period to the end of 2008, it is expected that
    new capacity and expansions outside of China will add
    approximately 6.5&#160;million tonnes of capacity to the global
    industry. It is expected that the next increment of world-scale
    capacity will be the 1.7&#160;million tonne per year NPC
    facility in Iran, which is expected to commence operations
    during the first half of 2007. In addition, there is a
    1.0&#160;million tonne per year plant in Oman under construction
    and it is expected that product from this plant will be
    available to the market during the second half of 2007. In 2008,
    it is expected that approximately 3.4&#160;million tonnes of new
    capacity may be added to the market from two world-scale plants
    in Iran and Saudi Arabia and other expansions. Over the same
    period, it is also expected that additional plants will be
    constructed in China. We continue to believe that under normal
    market conditions, substantially all methanol production in
    China will be consumed locally and that China will continue to
    require imports to satisfy demand. We also believe that demand
    for methanol in China, for traditional chemical applications and
    new energy-related applications, will continue to grow at high
    rates, which will require capacity expansion and good operating
    rates in China in order to satisfy the growth in its domestic
    demand.

    Over the two-year period to the end of 2008, we believe
    approximately 3.3 million tonnes of capacity could shut down as
    a result of high feedstock prices. Methanex itself is supplying
    methanol from two plants with a combined annual capacity of
    approximately 1.4&#160;million tonnes that may shut down over
    the next 12&#160;months. This includes our 530,000 tonne Waitara
    Valley facility located in New Zealand, which we are operating
    as a flexible asset, and the 850,000 tonne Celanese facility
    located in Alberta, Canada. We are purchasing methanol from the
    Celanese facility under an offtake agreement with Celanese Ltd.

    Over the same period, we believe that the methanol industry will
    require new capacity outside of China to satisfy traditional
    demand driven by general economic growth. In addition, we
    believe there is considerable potential for demand growth in
    emerging applications for methanol. These emerging applications
    include biodiesel, methanol for power generation, di-methyl
    ether (DME) and fuel blending, with the latter two having the
    largest growth prospects in China.

    Typical of most cyclical commodity chemicals, periods of high
    methanol prices encourage high cost production to operate at
    maximum rates, construction of new plants and expansion projects
    leading to the possibility of oversupply in the market. However,
    historically, not all announced capacity additions result in the
    completion of new plants. The construction of low-cost
    world-scale methanol facilities requires significant capital
    costs over a long lead time, a location with access to
    significant natural gas reserves with appropriate pricing and an
    ability to cost-effectively deliver methanol to customers.
    Obtaining access to gas supply is becoming more challenging as
    gas is increasingly being used for higher value uses such as
    domestic use, LNG or other chemical products. In addition, plant
    construction phases have been extended and capital costs have
    escalated due to strong demand for raw materials, equipment and
    labour caused by increased construction activity globally.

    We entered 2007 with high prices, which in a normal demand and
    supply environment are unsustainable, and global inventory
    levels in the methanol industry are recovering in 2007. However,
    industry fundamentals continue to be favourable and are
    underpinned by healthy demand and high energy prices. The
    methanol price will ultimately depend on industry operating
    rates, the rate of industry restructuring and the strength of
    global demand. We believe that our excellent financial position
    and financial flexibility, outstanding global supply network and
    competitive cost position will provide a sound basis for
    Methanex continuing to be a leader in the methanol industry.

    Our business is capital intensive and has required, and will
    continue to require, significant investments in property, plant
    and equipment. At December&#160;31, 2006, the net book value of
    our property, plant and equipment was $1,353&#160;million. We
    estimate the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and
    this is used as the basis for recording depreciation and
    amortization. Recoverability of property, plant and equipment is
    measured by comparing the net book value of an asset to the
    undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated from
    the asset over its estimated useful life. An impairment charge
    is recognized in cases where the undiscounted expected future
    cash flows from an asset are less than the net book value of the
    asset. The impairment charge is equal to the amount by which the
    net book value of the asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value
    is based on quoted market values, if available, or alternatively
    using discounted expected future cash flows.

    and distribution costs. Changes in these assumptions will impact
    our estimates of future net cash flows and could impact our

    Inherent uncertainties exist because the restoration activities

    Future income tax assets and liabilities are determined using
    currently enacted or substantially enacted tax rates for the
    effects of net operating losses and temporary differences
    between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We
    record a valuation allowance on future tax assets, when
    appropriate, to reflect the uncertainty of realization of future
    tax benefits. In determining the appropriate valuation
    allowance, certain judgments are made relating to the level of
    expected future taxable income and to available tax planning
    strategies and their impact on the use of existing loss
    carryforwards and other income tax deductions. In making this
    analysis, we consider historical profitability and volatility to
    assess whether we believe it to be more likely than not that the
    existing loss carryforwards and other income tax deductions will
    be used to offset future taxable income otherwise calculated.
    Our management routinely reviews these judgments. At
    December&#160;31, 2006, we had future income tax assets of
    $302&#160;million that are substantially offset by a valuation
    allowance of $263&#160;million.

    The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants has issued new
    accounting standards for financial instruments that are
    effective for the Company as of January&#160;1, 2007. These
    standards address when an entity should recognize a financial
    instrument on its balance sheet and how it should measure the
    financial instrument once recognized. These standards also
    provide guidance on applying hedge accounting and provide
    alternative treatments for entities that choose to designate
    qualifying transactions as hedges for accounting purposes.
    Comprehensive income is also introduced as a concept in Canadian
    accounting with a requirement to present certain unrealized
    gains and losses outside net income. We are currently assessing
    the implications of these new standards on our consolidated
    financial statements.

    We have audited management&#146;s assessment, included in the

    Methanex Corporation (&#147;the Company&#148;) maintained
    effective internal control over financial reporting as of
    December&#160;31, 2006, based on the criteria established in
    Internal Control&#151;Integrated Framework issued by the
    Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission

    maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting

    over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an

    We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
    Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
    standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
    reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
    over financial reporting was maintained in all material
    respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
    internal control over financial reporting, evaluating
    management&#146;s assessment, testing and evaluating the design
    and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing
    such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
    circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
    basis for our opinion.

    A company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting is a
    process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
    reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
    financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
    generally accepted accounting principles. A company&#146;s
    internal control over financial reporting includes those
    policies and procedures that (1)&#160;pertain to the maintenance
    of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
    reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
    company; (2)&#160;provide reasonable assurance that transactions
    are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
    statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
    are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
    management and directors of the company; and (3)&#160;provide
    reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
    unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
    company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the
    financial statements.

    Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
    financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
    Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
    periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
    inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
    of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

    The Company recognizes asset retirement obligations for those
    sites where a reasonably definitive estimate of the fair value
    of the obligation can be determined. The Company estimates fair
    value by determining the current market cost required to settle
    the asset retirement obligation, adjusts for inflation through
    to the expected date of the expenditures and discounts this
    amount back to the date when the obligation was originally
    incurred. As the liability is initially recorded on a discounted
    basis, it is increased each period until the estimated date of
    settlement. The resulting expense is referred to as accretion
    expense and is included in cost of sales and operating expenses.
    Asset retirement obligations are not recognized with respect to
    assets with indefinite or indeterminate lives as the fair value
    of the asset retirement obligations cannot be reasonably
    estimated due to uncertainties regarding the timing of
    expenditures. The Company reviews asset retirement obligations
    on a periodic basis and adjusts the liability as necessary to
    reflect changes in the estimated future cash flows and timing
    underlying the fair value measurement.

    For stock options granted by the Company, the cost of the

    service period with a corresponding increase in contributed
    surplus. On exercise of stock options, consideration received
    together with the compensation expense previously recorded to
    contributed surplus is credited to share capital. The Company
    uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair

    additional feature where the ultimate number of units that vest
    will be determined by the Company&#146;s total shareholder
    return in relation to a predetermined target over the period to
    vesting. The number of units that will ultimately vest will be
    in the range of 50% to 120% of the original grant. The fair
    value of deferred, restricted and performance share units is
    initially measured at the grant date based on the market value
    of the Company&#146;s common shares and is recognized in
    earnings over the related service period. Changes in fair value

    For the year ended December&#160;31, 2005, the Company was
    eligible for incentive tax credits in the amount of
    $30.1&#160;million related to the construction of the 840,000
    tonne per year Chile IV methanol production facility. At
    December&#160;31, 2005, these incentive tax credits were
    recorded as a reduction to property, plant and equipment and an
    increase to receivables. During 2006, the Company collected
    $27.8&#160;million related to these incentive tax credits and
    the remaining amount of $2.3&#160;million was received in early
    2007.

    On March&#160;3, 2006, the Company granted 402,460 performance
    share units. Performance share units are grants of notional
    common shares where the ultimate number of units that vest will
    be determined by the Company&#146;s total shareholder return in
    relation to a predetermined target over the period to vesting.
    The number of units that will ultimately vest will be in the
    range of 50% to 120% of the original grant. The performance
    share units granted on March&#160;3, 2006 will vest on
    December&#160;31, 2008.

    The fair value of deferred, restricted and performance share
    units is initially measured at the grant date based on the
    market value of the Company&#146;s common shares and is
    recognized in earnings over the related service period. Changes
    in fair value are recognized in earnings for the proportion of
    the service that has been rendered at each reporting date. The
    fair value of deferred, restricted and performance share units
    outstanding at December&#160;31, 2006 was $36.2&#160;million
    (2005&#160;&#151; $29.0&#160;million) compared with the recorded
    liability of $22.6&#160;million (2005&#160;&#151;
    $17.7&#160;million). The difference between the fair value and
    the recorded liability of $13.6&#160;million will be recognized
    over the weighted average remaining service period of
    approximately 1.6&#160;years.

    During 2005, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago introduced
    new tax legislation retroactive to January&#160;1, 2004. As a
    result, during 2005 we recorded a $16.9&#160;million charge to
    increase future income tax expense to reflect the retroactive
    impact for the period January&#160;1, 2004 to December&#160;31,
    2004. In February 2006, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago
    passed an amendment to this legislation that changed the
    retroactive effective date to January&#160;1, 2005. As a result
    of this amendment we recorded an adjustment to decrease future
    income tax expense by a total of $25.8&#160;million during 2006.
    The adjustment includes a reversal of the previous charge to
    2005 earnings of $16.9&#160;million and an additional adjustment
    of $8.9&#160;million to recognize the benefit of tax deductions
    that were reinstated as a result of the change in the
    implementation date.

    At December&#160;31, 2006, the Company had non-capital loss
    carryforwards available for tax purposes of $540&#160;million in
    Canada, $24&#160;million in the United States and
    $63&#160;million in New Zealand. The benefit relating to the
    non-capital loss carryforwards in the United States has been
    recognized by reducing net future income tax liabilities. In
    Canada and the United States these loss carryforwards expire in
    the period 2007 to 2024, inclusive. In New Zealand the loss
    carryforwards do not have an expiry date.

    During 2006, the Company entered into a methanol offtake
    agreement with a methanol producer in Canada for a three-month
    period commencing January&#160;1, 2007. The contract price
    includes a fixed facility fee and a variable fee indexed to
    natural gas prices. The Company entered into natural gas
    purchase options for the term of the methanol offtake agreement
    to mitigate its exposure to an increase in natural gas prices
    above the strike prices in the option contracts. The Company
    believes these option contracts provide an economic hedge of its
    exposure to increases in natural gas prices, however; these
    arrangements do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting
    treatment. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the options
    are recognized immediately in earnings. Natural gas prices
    declined during the fourth quarter of 2006 and the fair value of
    the natural gas purchase options decreased by $4&#160;million.
    This change in fair value was charged to earnings resulting in a
    decrease to interest and other income. At December&#160;31,
    2006, the carrying value of the natural gas purchase options was
    nil, which approximates the fair value of these contracts.

    Effective July&#160;25, 2006, the government of Argentina
    increased the duty on exports of natural gas from Argentina to
    Chile, which has been in place since May 2004, from
    approximately $0.30 per mmbtu to $2.25 per mmbtu. Exports of
    natural gas from the province of Tierra del Fuego were exempt
    from this duty until late October 2006 when the government of
    Argentina extended this duty to include this province at the
    same rates applicable to the other provinces. As a result, the
    increased duty on exports of natural gas is applied to all of
    the natural gas feedstock that the Company sources from
    Argentina. The total annual cost of the export duty to these
    natural gas suppliers from Argentina has increased to
    approximately $200&#160;million.

     While the Company&#146;s gas contracts provide that gas

    During 2006, the Company reached interim agreements with all of
    its natural gas suppliers from Argentina. In principle, the
    Company has agreed to share the cost of duties based in part on
    prevailing methanol prices. The Company has gained some
    flexibility to take the natural gas depending on prevailing
    methanol market conditions, and to the extent that these
    arrangements are not economic, then the Company will not
    purchase the natural gas. The Company is in continuing
    discussions to reach longer-term arrangements. However, the
    Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to reach
    satisfactory longer-term arrangements with its natural gas
    suppliers from Argentina. As at December&#160;31, 2006, the
    Company accrued $26&#160;million to record the estimated cost of
    sharing export duties for natural gas consumed in 2006.
    Approximately $8&#160;million was charged to earnings during
    2006 and the remaining amount is included in the cost of
    inventory and will be charged to earnings when the inventory is
    sold.

    Effective January&#160;1, 1993, the Company combined its

    the change in that unrecorded funded status recorded to

    for the proportion of the service that has been rendered at each
    reporting date. Under U.S. GAAP, the fair value of performance
    share units is calculated each reporting period using a pricing
    model that incorporates the service and market conditions
    related to the performance share units. This fair value is
    recognized over the related service period with changes in fair
    value being recognized in earnings for the proportion of the
    service that has been rendered at each reporting date. For the
    years ended December&#160;31, 2006 and 2005, no adjustment to
    operating expenses was recorded in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

    The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued
    interpretation no. 48, <I>Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
    Taxes&#160;&#151; an interpretation of FASB Statement
    No.&#160;109</I> (FIN&#160;48). FIN&#160;48 clarifies the
    accounting for income taxes recognized in a Company&#146;s
    financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement
    No.&#160;109, <I>Accounting for Income Taxes
    (SFAS&#160;109)</I>. FIN&#160;48 prescribes a recognition
    threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
    recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
    to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides
    guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
    penalties, and transition. FIN&#160;48 is effective for the
    Company as of January&#160;1, 2007. The Company is currently
    assessing the impact of this interpretation on its financial
    statements.

    Methanex Corporation (&#147;the Company&#148;) maintained
    effective internal control over financial reporting as of

    Internal Control&#151;Integrated Framework issued by the
    Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission

    maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting

    We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
    Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
    standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
    reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
    over financial reporting was maintained in all material
    respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
    internal control over financial reporting, evaluating
    management&#146;s assessment, testing and evaluating the design
    and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing
    such other procedures as we considered necessary in the

    A company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting is a
    process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
    reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
    financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
    generally accepted accounting principles. A company&#146;s
    internal control over financial reporting includes those
    policies and procedures that (1)&#160;pertain to the maintenance
    of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
    reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
    company; (2)&#160;provide reasonable assurance that transactions
    are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
    statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
    are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
    management and directors of the company; and (3)&#160;provide
    reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
    unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
    company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the
    financial statements.

    Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
    financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
    Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
    periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
    inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
    of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

    In our opinion, management&#146;s assessment that the Company
    maintained effective internal control over financial reporting

    respects, based on the criteria established in Internal
    Control&#151;Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
    Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
    Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material
    respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as
    of December&#160;31, 2006, based on the criteria established in
