<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 24pt"><B>METHANEX ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>April&nbsp;23, 2008</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">For the first quarter of 2008, Methanex reported Adjusted EBITDA<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">1</SUP> of $127&nbsp;million, net
income of $65&nbsp;million and earnings per share of $0.67 (on a diluted basis).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Bruce Aitken, President and CEO of Methanex commented, &#147;Our average realized price in the first
quarter was $545 per tonne which resulted in another good quarter of earnings for our shareholders.
Our earnings under this pricing environment would normally be higher, however, we sourced less of
our sales from produced methanol during the first quarter and more from purchased methanol and this
had an impact on our profitability. In addition, methanol pricing peaked in December and
decreased through the first quarter and, as is typical in a decreasing methanol price environment,
our sales margins on both produced and purchased methanol are impacted by inventory timing issues.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Mr.&nbsp;Aitken added, &#147;In the high methanol price environment of the last six months, we saw China
moving from being a net importer to a net exporter, which we believe has been the most significant
factor causing the methanol market to rebalance and methanol prices to decline. We have also seen
some regional softness in demand in some derivatives, but globally we continue to observe that
demand for methanol is healthy and the high energy price environment continues to underpin strong
demand growth for new methanol demand in energy applications, particularly in DME and fuel blending
in China.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Mr.&nbsp;Aitken continued, &#147;China has recently reverted to being a net importer and spot methanol prices
are increasing. We are continuing to make good progress on our initiatives to source more gas in
Chile and we recently agreed to terms on a gas supply arrangement in New Zealand which will allow
us to switch production to one of our larger idle plants in the second half of the year.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Mr.&nbsp;Aitken concluded, &#147;Our strong cash generation in the first quarter continues to leave us in a
strong financial position. With US$465&nbsp;million cash on hand at the end of the quarter, a strong
balance sheet and a US$250&nbsp;million undrawn credit facility, we are well positioned to meet our
financial commitments related to the Egypt methanol project, pursue opportunities to accelerate
natural gas development in southern Chile, pursue opportunities to sponsor methanol demand in new
energy applications, pursue other strategic growth initiatives, and continue to deliver on our
commitment to return excess cash to shareholders.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">A conference call is scheduled for Thursday, April&nbsp;24, 2008 at 11:00 am EST (8:00 am PST) to review
these first quarter results. To access the call, dial the Telus Conferencing operator ten minutes
prior to the start of the call at (416)&nbsp;883-0139, or toll free at (888)&nbsp;458-1598. The passcode for
the call is 45654. A playback version of the conference call will be available for fourteen days at
(877)&nbsp;653-0545. The reservation number for the playback version is 518972. There will be a

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 9pt">Information contained in this press release and the attached First Quarter 2008 Management&#146;s
Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements. Certain material factors or
assumptions were applied in drawing the conclusions or making the forecasts or projections that are
included in these forward-looking statements. Methanex believes that it has a reasonable basis for
making such forward-looking statements. However, forward-looking statements, by their nature,
involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contemplated by the forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties include those attendant
with producing and marketing methanol and successfully carrying out major capital expenditure
projects in various jurisdictions, the ability to successfully carry out corporate initiatives and
strategies, conditions in the methanol and other industries including the supply and demand balance
for methanol, the success of natural gas exploration and development activities in southern Chile
and our ability to obtain any additional gas in that region on commercially acceptable terms,
actions of competitors and suppliers, actions of governments and governmental authorities, changes
in laws or regulations in foreign jurisdictions, world-wide economic conditions and other risks
described in our 2007 Management&#146;s Discussion &#038; Analysis and the attached First Quarter 2008
Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking
statements. They are not a substitute for the exercise of one&#146;s own due diligence and judgment. The
outcomes anticipated in forward-looking statements may not occur and we do not undertake to update
forward-looking statements. These materials also contain certain non-GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and therefore are unlikely to be
comparable to similar measures used by other companies. For more information regarding these
non-GAAP measures, please see our 2007 Management&#146;s Discussion &#038; Analysis and the attached First
Quarter 2008 Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Chile</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our methanol facilities in Chile produced 309,000 tonnes during the first quarter of 2008 compared
with total capacity of 960,000 tonnes. We have natural gas supply contracts for approximately 60%
of our natural gas requirements for our production facilities in Chile from natural gas suppliers
in Argentina. Since June&nbsp;2007, the government of Argentina has curtailed all natural gas exports to
our plants and we continue to source natural gas supply to our facilities exclusively from Chile.
We source natural gas from Chile primarily from Empresa Nacional del Petroleo (ENAP), the Chilean
state-owned energy company, and from GeoPark Chile Limited (GeoPark).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the first quarter of 2008, the government of Argentina announced an increase of natural gas
export duties from 45% to 100% of the highest contracted import price of natural gas into Argentina
and it is expected that this would currently represent an export duty in excess of US$7 per mmbtu.
Natural gas exports have not been reinstated and if they were, our natural gas contracts provide
that the gas suppliers must pay any duties levied by the government of Argentina. However, given
the increased duties we do not expect to receive natural gas supply from Argentina.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We believe the solution to these issues of natural gas supply from Argentina is to source more
natural gas from suppliers in Chile. We are pursuing investment opportunities with ENAP and GeoPark
to help accelerate natural gas exploration and development in areas of southern Chile which lie
close to our production facilities. In late 2007, we signed an agreement with GeoPark under which
we will provide US$40&nbsp;million in financing to support and accelerate GeoPark&#146;s natural gas
exploration and development activities in the Fell Block in southern Chile. Under the arrangement,
GeoPark will also provide us with natural gas supply sourced from the Fell Block under a 10-year
exclusive supply agreement. In late 2007, the government of Chile completed its first international
bidding round to assign natural gas exploration areas that lie close to our production facilities
and announced the participation of five international oil and gas companies. Exploration and
development activities in these areas in southern Chile are expected to begin during the second
quarter of 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We cannot provide assurance that ENAP, GeoPark or others will be successful in the exploration and
development of natural gas or that we would obtain any additional natural gas from suppliers in
Chile on commercially acceptable terms.

compared with 75,000 tonnes during fourth quarter of 2007. Production was lower than capacity
during the fourth quarter of 2007 at this facility as a result of planned maintenance activities.
We have secured sufficient natural gas supply that will allow us to produce at this facility until
at least mid-2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In addition to our 530,000 tonne Waitara Valley facility which we have operated over the past few
years, we have up to 1.9&nbsp;million tonnes of additional flexible annual operating capacity from our
idled Motunui facilities in New Zealand. We have agreed to terms on a natural gas supply
arrangement which will allow us to restart one idled 900,000 tonne per year Motunui methanol plant
in mid-2008 and operate this facility until at least the end of 2009. This agreement is subject to
some final authorization procedures which we expect to conclude in a few weeks. We plan to continue
to operate the Waitara Valley facility until the Motunui plant restarts. The continued operations
of the flexible New Zealand facilities is dependant upon industry supply and demand and the
availability of natural gas on commercially acceptable terms.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">We commenced 2008 in a tight methanol market environment as a result of planned and unplanned
supplier outages, including outages at our Chile facilities, which began in the second half of
2007. Our average non-discounted posted price for the first quarter of 2008 was $703 per tonne
compared with $637 per tonne for the fourth quarter of 2007 and $537 per tonne for the first
quarter of 2007. Our average realized price for the first quarter of 2008 was $545 per tonne
compared with $514 per tonne for the fourth quarter of 2007 and $444 per tonne for the first
quarter of 2007. For the first quarter of 2008 our average realized price was approximately 22%
lower than our average non-discounted posted price. This compares with approximately 19% lower for
the fourth quarter of 2007 and 17% lower for the first quarter of 2007. 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 and accordingly, we expect the
discount from our average non-discounted posted prices to widen during periods of higher methanol
pricing. The discount from our average non-discounted posted price widened during the first quarter
of 2008 compared with the fourth quarter of 2007 primarily as a result of higher methanol pricing
and lower sales volumes.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the purposes of our Adjusted EBITDA analysis, the average realized price for sales of produced
methanol will differ from the Methanex average realized price disclosed above as sales under these
long-term contracts are allocated to sales of produced methanol. During the first quarter of 2008,
our total sales volumes of produced methanol decreased by 319,000 tonnes compared with the fourth
quarter of 2007. As a result, sales volumes with pricing that is fixed or linked to our costs plus
a margin represented a significantly higher proportion of our total sales volumes of produced
methanol during the first quarter of 2008 compared with the fourth quarter of 2007. The change in
our average realized price for produced methanol for the first quarter of 2008 increased our
Adjusted EBITDA by $4&nbsp;million compared with the fourth quarter of 2007 and increased our Adjusted
EBITDA by $51&nbsp;million compared with the first quarter of 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Sales volumes of produced methanol</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Sales volumes of methanol produced at our production hubs in Chile, Trinidad and New Zealand for
the first quarter of 2008 were lower by 319,000 tonnes compared with the fourth quarter of 2007 and
lower by 461,000 tonnes compared with the first quarter of 2007 and this decreased Adjusted EBITDA
by $95&nbsp;million and $106&nbsp;million, respectively. During the first quarter of 2008, our sales volumes
of produced methanol were lower than our production volumes resulting in a rebuilding of our
produced inventories during the first quarter of 2008. This, combined with lower overall sales
volumes, has resulted in the decrease in sales of produced methanol compared with the fourth
quarter of 2007.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our production facilities are underpinned by natural gas purchase agreements with pricing terms
that include base and variable price components. The variable component is adjusted in relation to
increases in methanol prices above pre-determined prices.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Total cash costs for the first quarter of 2008 were lower than in the fourth quarter of 2007 by $2
million. Natural gas costs on produced methanol were higher during the first quarter of 2008 by $9
million compared with the fourth quarter of 2007 primarily due to the timing of inventory flows.
Methanol pricing increased significantly during the fourth quarter of 2007 and high pricing has
continued throughout the first quarter of 2008. Natural gas costs on sales of produced methanol
during the fourth quarter of 2007 were lower than the first quarter of 2008 primarily as a result
of the impact of selling lower cost opening inventory which was produced at lower methanol pricing
in the third quarter of 2007. During the fourth quarter of 2007, we also had a drawdown of produced
inventory volumes which resulted in a high proportion of our production being sold in the quarter.
During the first quarter of 2008, our selling, general and administrative expenses were lower by $5
million than the fourth quarter of 2007 primarily as a result of the lower stock-based compensation
expense due to changes in our share price as well as lower consulting and other costs. Fixed
unabsorbed production costs for our production facilities were lower in the first quarter of 2008
by $4&nbsp;million compared with the fourth quarter of 2007 primarily as a result of planned maintenance
activities at our Waitara Valley facility in New Zealand in the fourth quarter of 2007. During the
first quarter of 2008, our ocean freight costs were lower by $5&nbsp;million compared with the fourth
quarter of 2007 as a result of higher backhaul profits. Also, due to lower operating rates at our
Chilean operations brought on by the curtailment of natural gas exports from Argentina, we made the
decision during the first quarter of 2008 to reorganize our Chilean operations and reduce the work
force by approximately 15%, or 39 employees. As a result, we accrued approximately $3&nbsp;million in
severance and termination costs during the first quarter of 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Total cash costs for the first quarter of 2008 were higher than in the first quarter of 2007 by $21
million. During the first quarter of 2008, natural gas and other costs were higher by $6&nbsp;million
compared with the first quarter of 2007 due to the impact of higher methanol pricing. During the
first quarter of 2008, our selling, general and administrative expenses were higher by $4&nbsp;million
than the first quarter of 2007 as a result of higher stock-based compensation expense as a result
of changes in our share price, and higher costs from the impact of foreign exchange rates. Fixed
unabsorbed production costs for our production
facilities were higher in the first quarter of 2008 by $5&nbsp;million compared with the first quarter
of 2007 primarily as a result of lower production at our Chile facilities. The remaining increase
in cash costs of $3&nbsp;million during the first quarter of 2008 compared with the first quarter of
2007 primarily relates to higher ocean freight costs as a result of lower backhaul profits. During
the first quarter of 2008, we also accrued approximately $3&nbsp;million in severance and termination
costs related to the reorganization of our Chilean operations described above.

Consequently, we realize holding gains or losses on the resale of this product depending on the
methanol price at the time of resale. During the first quarter of 2008, our cash margin was
negative $19&nbsp;million on the resale of 0.7&nbsp;million tonnes of purchased methanol compared with a
positive cash margin of $35&nbsp;million on the resale of 0.4&nbsp;million tonnes for the fourth quarter of
2007 and a positive cash margin of $15&nbsp;million on the resale of 0.4&nbsp;million tonnes for the first

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Depreciation and amortization was $23&nbsp;million for the first quarter of 2008 compared with $29
million for the fourth quarter of 2007 and $24&nbsp;million for the first quarter of 2007. The decrease
in depreciation and amortization for the first quarter of 2008 compared with the fourth quarter of
2007 is primarily as a result of lower sales volumes of produced methanol.

compared with income of $3&nbsp;million for the fourth quarter of 2007 and $5&nbsp;million for the first

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2008 was 29% compared with 26% for the fourth
quarter of 2007 and 30% for the first quarter of 2007. The statutory tax rate in Chile and
Trinidad, where we earn a substantial portion of our pre-tax earnings, is 35%. Our Atlas facility
in Trinidad has partial relief from corporation income tax until 2014.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In Chile the tax rate consists of a first tier tax that is payable when income is earned and a
second tier tax that is due when earnings are distributed from Chile. The second tier tax is
initially recorded as future income tax expense and is subsequently reclassified to current income
tax expense when earnings are distributed. Accordingly, the ratio of current income tax expense to total income tax expense is
highly dependent on the level of cash distributed from Chile.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We commenced 2008 in a tight methanol market environment as a result of planned and unplanned
supplier outages in the second half of 2007. This resulted in high methanol prices during the first
quarter which are unsustainable in a normal supply and demand environment. During the first
quarter, due to a rebuilding of global inventories, methanol prices have moderated, but remain at a
high level. Methanex non-discounted posted prices for April average approximately $490 per tonne
across the major regions and we have announced a non-discounted price of $499 per tonne for May in
North America.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">To the end of 2008, we expect the next increment of world-scale capacity to be the 1.7&nbsp;million
tonne per year plant under construction in Saudi Arabia. We expect product from this plant should
be available to the market in the second half of 2008. In addition, there are 1.7&nbsp;million tonne per
year plants under construction in Malaysia and Iran, and we expect product from both of these
plants to be available to the market in the first half of 2009. We also believe that global
methanol demand growth combined with the potential shutdown of high cost capacity as a result of
high feedstock prices could offset this new industry supply.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Overall, while demand growth for some derivatives, such as formaldehyde and biodiesel, has weakened
in some regions, we believe demand remains healthy in both traditional chemical derivatives and in
energy applications as high global energy prices continue to drive strong demand for fuel blending
and di-methyl ether (DME)&nbsp;in China. In addition, we believe that high energy prices are continuing
to support strong demand for MTBE in a period which usually experiences some seasonal weakness.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We believe methanol demand in China will continue to grow at high rates as a result of very strong
traditional demand driven by high industrial production growth rates and additional demand related
to non-traditional uses for methanol such as gasoline blending and DME. We also believe that there
is increasing pressure on the cost structure of the Chinese methanol industry and the cost to
export as a result of escalating feedstock costs for both coal and natural gas based producers in
China, the continued appreciation of the Chinese currency and reduced fiscal incentives offered to
Chinese exporters of methanol introduced during 2007. During the first quarter of 2008, China was a
net exporter of methanol as a result of the very high methanol price environment, which gave
producers in China the incentive to operate at higher production rates and export methanol. We
believe this was a key factor contributing to improving the global inventory position during the
first quarter of 2008. However, we believe that China has reverted back to a net importer of
methanol in April and this has been reflected in the recent strengthening of spot methanol prices
in China and other global markets. Due to the high cost position of many of the Chinese producers
and the fact that the majority of methanol produced in China is coal-based and not suitable for
many international customers, we believe in a lower price environment substantially all domestic
methanol production in China will be consumed within the local market and that imports of methanol
into China will grow over time.

financing costs and working capital, over the next two years is estimated to be approximately $165
million and we expect to fund these expenditures from cash generated from operations and cash on
hand.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We have excellent financial capacity and flexibility. Our cash balance at March&nbsp;31, 2008 was $465
million and we have a strong balance sheet with an undrawn $250&nbsp;million credit facility. We invest
our cash only in highly rated instruments that have maturities of three months or less to ensure
preservation of capital and appropriate liquidity. Our planned capital maintenance expenditure
program directed towards major maintenance, turnarounds and catalyst changes, including costs to
complete the restart of the Motunui facility, is currently estimated to total approximately $125
million for the period to the end of 2010.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We believe we are well positioned to meet financial requirements related to the methanol project in
Egypt, complete our capital maintenance spending program, complete the restart of the Motunui
facility, pursue new opportunities to enhance our leadership position in the methanol industry,
pursue investment opportunities to accelerate the development of natural gas in southern Chile,
investigate opportunities related to new methanol demand for energy applications, pursue other
strategic initiatives and continue to deliver on our commitment to return excess cash to
shareholders.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We believe that global inventories have improved and this has resulted in a moderation of methanol
pricing into the second quarter of 2008. Over the next year, we believe that traditional and
non-traditional growth, along with closures of high cost capacity, will substantially offset the
new supply that is scheduled to start up over the coming year and that supply/demand fundamentals
will be in reasonable balance during 2008. We also believe that methanol prices will be underpinned
by strong demand in China and global energy prices.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The methanol price will ultimately depend on industry operating rates, global energy prices, 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 low cost
position will provide a sound basis for Methanex continuing to be the leader in the methanol
industry.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In addition to providing measures prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles (Canadian GAAP), we present certain supplemental non-GAAP measures. These are
Adjusted EBITDA, operating income and cash flows from operating activities before changes in
non-cash working capital. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by
Canadian GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other
companies. We believe these measures are useful in evaluating the operating performance and
liquidity of the Company&#146;s ongoing business. These measures should be considered in addition to,
and not as a substitute for, net income, cash flows and other measures of financial performance and
liquidity reported in accordance with Canadian GAAP.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">This supplemental non-GAAP measure is provided to assist readers in determining our ability to
generate cash from operations. We believe this measure is useful in assessing performance and
highlighting trends on an overall basis. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by
securities analysts and investors when comparing our results with those of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, cash flows from operating
activities, primarily because it does not include changes in non-cash working capital, other cash
payments related to operating activities, stock-based compensation expense, other non-cash items,
interest expense, interest and other income (expense), and current income taxes.

EBITDA:

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We review our results of operations by analyzing changes in the components of our Adjusted EBITDA
(refer to <I>Supplemental Non-GAAP Measures </I>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. We analyze the results of produced methanol sales separately
from purchased methanol sales as the margin characteristics of each are very different.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Methanex-Produced Methanol</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our production facilities generate the substantial portion of our Adjusted EBITDA, and accordingly,
the key drivers of changes in our Adjusted EBITDA for produced methanol are analyzed separately.
The key drivers of changes in our Adjusted EBITDA for produced methanol are average realized price,
sales volume and cash costs. Changes in Adjusted EBITDA related to our produced methanol include
our sales of methanol from our facilities in Chile, Trinidad and New Zealand.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The price, cash cost and volume variances included in our Adjusted EBITDA analysis for produced
methanol are defined and calculated as follows:

period in the selling price of produced methanol multiplied by the
current period sales volume of produced methanol. Sales under
long-term contracts where the prices are either fixed or linked to
our costs plus a margin are included as sales of produced methanol.
Accordingly, the selling price of produced methanol will differ
from the selling price of purchased methanol.</TD>

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Information contained in this First Quarter 2008 Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis contains
forward-looking statements. Certain material factors or assumptions were applied in drawing the
conclusions or making the forecasts or projections that are included in these forward-looking
statements. Methanex believes that it has a reasonable basis for making such forward-looking
statements. However, forward-looking statements, by their nature, involve risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking
statements. The risks and uncertainties include those attendant with producing and marketing
methanol and successfully carrying out major capital expenditure projects in various jurisdictions,
the ability to successfully carry out corporate initiatives and strategies, conditions in the
methanol and other industries including the supply and demand balance for methanol, the success of
natural gas exploration and development activities in southern Chile and our ability to obtain any
additional gas in that region on commercially acceptable terms, actions of competitors and
suppliers, actions of governments and governmental authorities, changes in laws or regulations in
foreign jurisdictions, world-wide economic conditions and other risks described in our 2007
Management&#146;s Discussion &#038; Analysis and this First Quarter 2008 Management&#146;s Discussion and
Analysis. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. They are not a
substitute for the exercise of one&#146;s own due diligence and judgment. The outcomes anticipated in
forward-looking statements may not occur and we do not undertake to update forward-looking
statements.

accepted accounting principles in Canada on a basis consistent with those followed in the most
recent annual consolidated financial statements, except as described in Note 2 below. These
accounting principles are different in some respects from those generally accepted in the United
States and the significant differences are described and reconciled in Note 15. These interim
consolidated financial statements do not include all note disclosures required by Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements, and therefore should
be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements included in the

    <TD>On January&nbsp;1, 2008, the Company adopted the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (&#147;CICA&#148;)
Handbook Section&nbsp;3031 <I>Inventories</I>, Section&nbsp;1535 <I>Capital Disclosures</I>, Section&nbsp;3862 <I>Financial
Instruments &#151; Disclosure </I>and Section&nbsp;3863 <I>Financial Instruments &#151; Presentation</I>. Section&nbsp;3031
provides more extensive guidance on the measurement and disclosure of inventory. The adoption of
this standard has had no impact on the Company&#146;s measurement of inventory. Section&nbsp;1535
establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity&#146;s capital and how it is
managed. Sections&nbsp;3862 and 3863 revise and enhance disclosure and presentation of financial
instruments and place increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risks
arising from financial instruments and how those risks are managed.</TD>

measured at fair value based on the market value of the Company&#146;s common shares and is
recognized 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 at March&nbsp;31, 2008 was $33.1

fair value and the recorded liability of $9.6&nbsp;million will be recognized over the weighted

    <TD>The Company&#146;s interest rate risk exposure is mainly related to long term debt
obligations. Approximately two thirds of its debt obligations are subject to interest at
fixed rates. We also seek to limit this risk through the use of interest rate swaps
which allows us to hedge cash flow changes by swapping variable rates of interest into
fixed rates of interest.</TD>

LIBOR-based interest payments on its Egypt limited recourse debt facilities described in
note 13. The notional amount increases over the period of expected drawdowns on the
Egypt limited recourse debt and decreases over the expected repayment period. These
contracts swap the LIBOR-based interest payments to a fixed rate of 5.1% on
approximately half of the projected outstanding debt for the period September&nbsp;28, 2007
to March&nbsp;31, 2015. The net fair value of cash flow interest rate swaps was a $21.8
million liability as at March&nbsp;31, 2008. The change in fair value of the interest rate
swaps assuming a 1% decrease in the interest rates along the yield curve was an increase
in the liability of $14.5&nbsp;million as of March&nbsp;31, 2008.</TD>

    <TD>Methanol is a global commodity chemical which is priced in US dollars. In certain
jurisdictions, however, the transaction price is set either quarterly or monthly in
local currency. Accordingly, a portion of our revenue is transacted in Canadian dollars,
euros and to a lesser extent other currencies. For the period from when the price is set
in local currency to when the amount due is collected, we are exposed to declines in the
value of these currencies compared to the United States dollar, which could have the
effect of decreasing the United States dollar equivalent of our revenue. We also
purchase varying quantities of methanol for which the transaction currency is the euro
and to a lesser extent other currencies. In addition, some of our underlying
operating costs and capital expenditures are incurred in other currencies. We are
exposed to increases in the value of these currencies that could have the effect of
increasing the United States dollar equivalent of cost of sales and operating expenses
and capital expenditures.</TD>

    <TD>Effective January&nbsp;1, 2006, US GAAP requires the Company to measure the funded status of a
defined benefit pension plan at its balance sheet reporting date and recognize the
unrecorded overfunded or underfunded status as an asset or liability with the change in that
unrecorded funded status recorded to other comprehensive income. Under US GAAP, all deferred
pension amounts from Canadian GAAP are reclassified to accumulated other comprehensive
income. During the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008, this resulted in an increase to other
comprehensive income of $0.2&nbsp;million (2007 &#151; $0.2&nbsp;million) in accordance with US GAAP.</TD>

    <TD>US GAAP requires interests in joint ventures to be accounted for using the equity method.
Canadian GAAP requires proportionate consolidation of interests in joint ventures. The
Company has not made an adjustment in this reconciliation for this difference in accounting
principles because the impact of applying the equity method of accounting does not result in
any change to net income or shareholders&#146; equity. This departure from US GAAP is acceptable
for foreign private issuers under the practices prescribed by the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission.</TD>
