2014 Business Report
1. 2014 Review
-
A. In 2014, there are four factors affecting the world economy:
-
i. The weak market demand worldwide triggered that all countries striver for export expansion, and then trade protectionism rose. While regional trade liberalization gradually replaced global trade liberalization, the use of competitive currency devaluation became more and more common.
-
ii. In response to the above situation, different countries have taken different monetary policies. For instance, the United States stop quantitative easing in October 2014. Meanwhile, the EU and Japan still pushed their monetary easing policies. Russia and Brazil raised interest rates six times and five times while Romania and South Korea lower interest rates three times and two times.
-
iii. The price of commodity goods fell sharply, especially the oil prices.
-
iv. The geopolitical and other non-economic factors, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the worsening situation in the Middle East caused regional instability. International investment and capital choose to avoid that region. Furthermore, the economic sanctions and anti-sanctions schemes hit investor confidence and trading activity which even worsen the economy of EU and Russia. In addition, transportation, tourism and other industries also suffer from the spread of Ebola virus.
-
B. The global economic growth rate is 3.3% in 2014 which is better than in 2013, but still lower than expectation for the following reasons.
-
i. Emerging markets has been leading global economic growth. However, many countries face the bottleneck for fast expansion.
-
ii. Countries with financial vulnerability faced the challenge of capital outflows.
-
iii. Russia experienced economic sanctions.
-
iv. Because of economic cooling in China and the lower price of raw materials, the economic growth in ASEAN countries went down.
-
v. China's economic growth slowed.
-
C. The performance of the major economies
-
i. The U.S. economy growth rate was 2.4% in 2014, better than in 2013.
-
3 -
-
ii. The economic growth in the EU ran from -0.5% in 2013 to 0.8% in 2014. There are four main reasons:
-
The unemployment rate declined.
-
Wage growth.
-
Low inflation lifted disposable income.
-
Neutral fiscal policy benefited the economy.
-
iii. Japanese annual economic growth rate in 2014 is 0.1% or 0%. There are five key reasons:
-
The impact of the consumption tax rate rising from 5% to 8%.
-
Weak export resulting from weak demand in emerging Asia countries and EU.
-
Real Income and private consumption remain weak.
-
Affected by the depreciation of the Japanese yen, small and medium enterprises reduce equipment investment since the second quarter of 2014.
-
Because of the high proportion of overseas production, the depreciation of the Japanese yen had limited help to manufacturers.
-
iv. China's economic growth decelerated. Although the China government released series of loose monetary policy and increased investment on infrastructures intending to stabilize economic situation, its 2014 economic growth rate merely reached 7.4% which is in the lower level of its target and also the lowest in the past 24 years. There are two main reasons:
-
Chinese domestic consumption and investment growth constrained subject to the downturn of real estate market and overcapacity in industry,
-
Due to weak global economic recovery and falling oil prices, China's export performance is worse than expected.
-
v. The emerging East Asian countries affected by structural bottlenecks, reducing subsidies, and political troubles, faced slowdown in domestic demand. Despite of the strong recovery of the US, Chinese economy slowdown and commodity price weakness suppress export performance, especially the exports of Indonesia and Thailand declined for two consecutive years. According to the World Bank’s estimation, annual economic growth rate in emerging East Asia countries dropped from 7.2% to 6.9% in 2014 for the three consecutive year of deceleration.

D. The economic performance of Taiwan
IMD recently released 2015 World Competitiveness Ranking. Taiwan's overall ranking is No. 11, compared to No. 13 in 2014. Taiwan ranked No. 3 in Asia, only inferior to Hong Kong and Singapore. In four competitiveness factors, Taiwan’s infrastructure construction ranking slipped slightly, however, economic performance, government efficiency, and business efficiency has improved. Remarkably, Taiwan’s government efficiency ranked No.9 in contrast to No. 23 of the United States which is ranked No. 1 of overall ranking.
In 2014, Taiwan experienced “Sunflowers Student Movement”, controversial fourth nuclear power plant, Kaohsiung gas explosion, food safety issues and municipal elections; however, the economy was gradually improved. Exports, investment, consumption, and wage grow, while commodity price and unemployment rate decreased. All main economic indicators have gradually improved. Although trade liberalization and major construction projects suffered serious setback, the annual economic growth rate reached 3.74%

3. The Company’s Layout Strategy in China
Asia Cement Corporation pioneered all domestic rivals to invest in cement business in China with Taiwan government’s permission since 1997.
On May 20, 2008, the subsidiary of the Company, Asia Cement (China) Holdings Corporation {ACC (China) thereafter} was listed on the main board of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited. Total assets reach RMB 20 billion.
Currently, the investments of ACC (China) are mainly based alone the Yangtze River in Jiangxi, Sichuan, Hubei, Yangzhou and Shanghai areas. The overall operating strategies are deployed through Jiangxi Yadong Cement (Southeast China), Sichuan Yadong Cement (Southwest China), Hubei Yadong Cement (Middle China), and Yangzhou Yadong Cement (East China) as core production bases. In addition to Sichuan Lanfeng Cement Corp.,
- 7 -
Huanggang Yadong Cement, and Wuhan Yaxin Cement, there are two grinding factories, six cement products companies, four transportation companies, newly established Tai Zhou Oriental Construction Co., Ltd., four terminals, and eight sale offices. These constitute an efficient and solid network for production, transportation and sales.
4. Overview of The Company’s Investments in China
A. Jiangxi Yadong Cement Co., Ltd
The company originally has four kilns, each with annual clinker capacity of 1.65 million MT. Currently, the annual output of clinker reaches 6.6 million MT which can produce 8 million MT cement.
The subsequent 5[th] and 6[th] production line for cement and clinker of the company have been completed in September 2013 and January 2014. With these two production lines, the total production capacity can reach 11 million MT of clinker annually, which can produce 14 million MT cement. Jiangxi Yadong has become one of the largest cement plants in China.
In addition, the waste heat recycling generators of the #1, #2, #3, and #4 kilns can produce 193 million kWh electricity annually. While, the waste heat recycling generators of the #5 and #6 kilns can produce 145 million kWh electricity annually.

5. Outlook for 2015 international economic situation and economic situation in Taiwan
- A. Outlook for 2015 international economic situation:
According to the forecast published by IMF and Global Insight, global economic performance in 2015 will be slightly better than last year. However, different countries or regions have distinct differences:
-
i. The US economic growth rate will reach more than 3%, showing steady growth.
-
ii. The economic growth rate of the euro area will be around 1.1% to 1.5%, slightly better than last year. The economic recovery may not be as expected. With the concerns about deflation and economic risks, European Central Bank has announced quantitative easing measures from March 2015 to stimulate the economy.
-
iii. The Japan government expects that consumption and equipment investment will start increase, while falling oil prices helps improve corporate earnings. Japan's 2015 economic growth rate will be 0.6% to 1.2%.
-
iv. The Chinese economy still faces debt bubble, overcapacity, unstable export demand and other risks. But the China government will continue to perform economic restructure, and apply more loose monetary policy to boost economic growth. Expected economic growth rate will be slightly lower than last year.
-
v. Benefited from lower oil price, private consumption is expected to grow in ASEAN countries in 2015. However, lower oil price coupled with the lower raw materials prices. Export value will be affected. Downward economic growth rate of the ASEAN countries in 2015 can be forecasted.
-
B. Outlook for 2015 economic situation in Taiwan:
In 2015, despite of the said international economic variables, Taiwan's economic performance should be slightly better than in 2014, mainly due to moderate growing of the global economy and higher demand for 3C products. Private investment also increased due to the development of new generation production process in the semiconductor industry. Furthermore, private consumption increased due to lower unemployment rate and lower oil prices. The real purchasing power will increase. Taiwan's economic growth rate in 2015 is expected to be 3.2% to 3.8%, equivalent to last year.

6. Operating Prospects for cement industry across the Taiwan Strait
A. Cement industry in China
Chinese economy turns into medium-speed growth under its government’s policy. Meanwhile, its economic reform and restructuring will be ongoing. According to forecasts of major international institutions, the Chinese economic growth rate could maintain approximately at 7%, indicating its economy continues grow. In the cement industry, the demand in 2015 will grow about 1~2%. Hereby lists several important policies and outlook relevant to the cement industry:
i. Increasingly stringent environmental standards:
China enforced new environmental law since January 1, 2015. It provides rules such as continuous daily penalties, sequestration, production limits, shutdown, information disclosure, and other regulations. Meanwhile, with the maturity of carbon emissions transaction measures, all these will increase the cost of cement production. Small and medium enterprises might be forced out of the market and benefited large-scale cement enterprises.
-
ii. Over-supply condition in Chinese cement industry is controlled:
-
a. Approval for new cement production capacity is strictly control:
Under Chinese current policy for cement industry, the approval of new capacity is strictly controlled. With stringent environmental regulations and standards, the estimated new cement production capacity in 2015 will be less than 100 million MT.
b. Acceleration for the elimination of backward production capacity:
Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China announced in early 2014 about the phase-out of backward and excess capacity. The target for cement industry (including clinker plant and grinding mills) was 50.5 million MT. The final result was 81 million MT. Besides, China will prohibit PC32.5 composite cement from December 2015. This measure will reduce the cement supply about 2~300 million MT.
c. Acceleration of overseas investment to ease the over-capacity in China:
Chinese government encourages its cement companies to move excess
- 11 -
capacity overseas. Major Cement Groups will accelerate their expansion of overseas markets in order to effectively relieve the pressure of new cement capacity.
-
d. Investments boost cement demand:
-
The National Development and Reform Commission of China intensively approved about 50 projects since October 2014 with total Investment of more than RMB 1.3 trillion. Most approved projects are mainly railways, highways and other transportation infrastructure located in the Midwest China.
-
Starting from Q3 2014, the limitation for house purchasing has been relieved. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will also start the construction of 7 million units of affordable housing in 2015.
-
With the "One Belt One Road", “Integration of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei”, “Yangtze River Economic Belt”, and other new Free Trade Area. Construction investments will significantly increase.
-
e. Mergers and Acquisitions enhance market concentration:
-
China government clearly supports mergers and acquisitions between large corporations. Coupled with lower interest rates and good stock price, higher environmental regulations, and stricter government enforcement, these have made small and medium size cement enterprises find themselves struggle to live. Only large cement corporations are able to survive via Mergers & Acquisition. Thus, the cement industry concentration is expected to effectively improve;
-
Cross shareholdings will become the prototype of Mergers & Acquisition in the future.
-
f. Low coal prices helps improve cement profit margins:
While the China government intends to lower coal consumption, the demand for coal will continue to decrease. Furthermore, it is difficult to change oversupply in the short term. Thus, estimated coal prices will remain low and will be profitable for the cement industry.
B. Cement industry in Taiwan
Current government policy is to strengthen public construction and shorten the gap between urban and rural areas. The budget for 2015 Public Works Projects is NT$ 190.7
- 12 -
billion, representing an increase of 7.2%, NT$ 12.8 billion. Although the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research indicates 2015 housing market is facing the sharp rise in supply, increasing housing tax, raised “Current land value”, fewer application for a construction license built, mortgage limitation, and presidential election, the forecast transaction volume will decline quarter by quarter. However, the trend in low oil prices will help to increase consumer spending and benefit cement demand to grow slightly.
Overall, we will keep affirmative for the outlook of cement industry across the Taiwan Strait in 2015.
7. The 2015 outlook for the Company
Asia Cement (China) Holdings Corp. current operates 15 clinker and cement production lines with total annual cement production capacity of 36 million MT. While the terminal in Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province completed, this allows Asia Cement (China) Holdings Corp. to step into overseas markets.
In addition to quick response to rapidly changing market, Asia Cement (China) Holdings Corp. will:
-
A. Be prepared for building new production capacity (such as using cement kiln to process municipal waste),
-
B. Strengthen the storage and transportation facilities and reduce costs,
-
C. Merger or acquire shares of cement plants,
-
D. Actively seek for strategic cooperation with state-owned construction company in mixing station.
8 Business Goals For 2015
In highly competitive environment of both Taiwan and China, the Company will respond with its “three highs and one low” strategy which stands for “high quality, high efficiency, high environmental protection, and low cost” and exert the Company’s persistent principle, “fully sell out the estimated production volume”.
The Company has set the following goals for 2015. The estimated production volume in Taiwan is 4,550 thousand MT clinker and 4,715 thousand MT cement. The estimated sales volume in Taiwan is 4,930 thousand MT clinker and cement. The estimated production volume in China is 24,574 thousand MT clinker and 32,328 thousand MT cement. The estimated sales volume in China is 33,054 thousand MT clinker and cement.

9 The Operating Performance in the First Quarter of 2015
Resulting from weak cement demand and low cement prices in China in Q115, the profits in cement industry generally decline. In the first quarter of 2015, the consolidated operating income of the Company is NT $ 15,362,530 thousand, decreasing 5% from NT $ 16,256,080 thousand in the same period of 2014. The consolidated net profit is NT $ 1,542,288 thousand, decreased 8% from NT $1,683,231 thousand in the same period of 2014. This is best performance among all rivals in Taiwan. In the third quarter, trillion infrastructure investments in China will gradually start. Profit boom can be expected.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Asia Cement Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Asia Cement Corporation (the “Corporation”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) as of December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing Auditing of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, and their consolidated financial performance and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
As disclosed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation changed its accounting policy for investment properties on January 1, 2014. As a result, the investment properties are subsequently measured using fair value model and the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2013 have been retroactively restated for this change in accounting policy.
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Asia Cement Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 on which we have issued an unqualified opinion with an explanatory paragraph report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders Asia Cement Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Asia Cement Corporation (the “Corporation”) as of December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2013, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
As disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Corporation changed its accounting policy for investment properties on January 1, 2014. As a result, the investment properties are subsequently measured using fair value model and the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the balance sheet as of January 1, 2013 have been retroactively restated for this change in accounting policy.
March 20, 2015
