ULMA Polymer Concrete ULMA Polymer Concrete designs special solutions for residential construction in Zarauz Zarauz, a charming village on the shores of the Bay of Biscay that is famous for its long beach ideal for surfing and for its renowned neighbour, Chef Karlos Arguiñano, is the location of the elegant residential construction site for which ULMA Polymer Concrete has provided its collaboration and professionalism. This project of 50 high- quality homes required a construction solution consisting of 2 special pieces--decorative cornices located at different heights and window mouldings on the last floor. The building was the mirror of a previous project that had been completed by different developers using another type of material. The need to create pieces with a complex design and unique shapes identical to those that already existed, the endeavour of adding extra quality, maintaining costs and facilitating the installa- tion was the challenge to overcome. The first idea was to maintain the traditional concrete solution used in the previous buildings and paint it at the end of construction. However, after consulting ULMA, it was decided to create the pieces with polymer concrete since its charac- teristics are significantly superior to those of traditional concrete. One been planned to incorporate continuous lintels, among other polymer of the most important advantages that polymer concrete offers is its concrete solutions. Luis Epelde, the technical architect, has participated nearly non-existent water absorption, which is very important in coas- in the project and is completely satisfied with the results obtained with tal regions where humidity and saltpetre tend to deteriorate building polymer concrete. It is a material that he especially likes for cladding façades.

BUSINESS ADDRESS AND AFFILIATES P18 05.SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY P22 06.SOCIAL ORGANS AND DIRECTORS 01. MANAGEMENT REPORT The worldwide GDP for 2013 grew by 3.0% meaning a drop in the rhythm of growth regarding the two previous years. It was a year with two differentiated parts, which could be seen in the ULMA Group activity. The first six months saw growth near to 2.5% and the second semester thanks to the strong impulse from the North American economy the GDP was situated at 3.5%, which has affected the risk perception associated to emerging economies and has been noticed in the markets. The national market is still declining. The market uncertainty and the problems for obtaining credit are delaying investment decision. That, together with the excess of capacity in the majority of sectors is being noticed both in the activity and margins of the internal markets. Therefore, we have had to reaffirm our commitment for the international market in the search for new opportunities for our businesses. A negative aspect we can highlight as conditioning our activity over the year are the strong devaluations occurred in the currencies of emerging economies like Brazil, Poland, etc. Taking into consideration all these circumstances, when we evaluate 2013 we have to say that it has been satisfactory. The ULMA Group reached a sales figure of 680 M Euros in the year, which meant a year-to-year increase of 1%, and that in spite of the negative impact of the turbulence of exchange rates occurred during the second semester in the emerging Iñaki Gabilondo.
