2015 Business Report

1. 2015 Review

Overall economic performance

  • A. The 2015 global economic growth is below expectation and relatively low than in 2014. It is mainly due to the economic slowdown of the emerging and developing countries despite advanced countries have moderate economic recovery.

  • B. Because of the lack of growth momentum in 2015, Chinese financial risks are becoming apparent. Although the Chinese economy are fairly stable, and the annual GDP growth reaches around 6.9% in 2015, China's economy continues to adjust along with the economy slowdown. Its spillover effect causes falling commodity prices and declining economic activity in Asian countries. Other emerging oil-importing countries only benefit partially reflecting from lower oil prices with limited economic growth effect.

  • C. The advanced countries are mainly attributable to lower oil prices, improved labor market, and very loose monetary policy. These make their domestic demand becoming the driving force of economic growth. However, the recovery is almost the same with the growth in 2014.

  • i. Only the United States maintain 2.4% economic growth for two consecutive years due to the performance of active labor market which is close to full employment levels and lower inflation.

  • ii. The Euro area maintains a moderate recovery thanks to low oil prices, weak exchange rate, negative interest rate and quantitative easing. It still maintains growth while facing low economy growth in emerging and developing countries, global trade slowdown, and other unfavorable factors.

  • iii. Due to recession of export to China and other emerging countries, and weak domestic consumption, Japanese economic growth rate is merely 0.6%.

  • D. Geopolitical tensions also caused substantial impact to relevant country's economic growth.

  • i. Ukraine problem is still unsolved while Middle East problem heat up. Russia warplanes shot down by Turkish worse the situation in that region.

  • ii. Middle East chaos causes the influx of refugees into Europe which is the worst refugee crisis since the World War II. The influx of refugees into Europe this year will exceed one million people.

  • 7 -

  • iii. The crisis spread from the edge to the core area, while the impact of the Islamic State penetrates Europe. November 13, 2015, there were several terrorist attacks in Paris. At least 130 people were killed. This is the largest terrorist attack since 911 in the western world. The development of extremism also indicated the issues that migrants and ethnic minorities are difficult to integrate into mainstream society.

  • iv. The situation in Asia is also unstable. Although the Iran signed nuclear agreements, North Korean nuclear issue is still unsolved. Meanwhile, because of intervention of the states outside the region, the South China Sea issues raised.

  • E. In 2015, Taiwan's economic performance is also not ideal. Due to the weak performance of global trade, Taiwan's major export market decline overall. The industry not only faces with the pressure on energy prices, tightening supply and demand, but also faces “Red Supply Chain” pressures from China. Since the development of China, some imported semi-finished products and equipment from Korea, Japan, or Taiwan are now shifted to manufacturers in China. This naturally reduces imports from Taiwan, dragging down export orders. Industrial production index growth thus turned negative. DGBAS released Taiwan 2015 annual economic growth rate is only 0.75%, the lowest since 2009.

The Company's business performance

  • A. In 2015, the overall cement consumption in China amounted to about 2.348 billion MT, compared with 2.476 billion MT in 2014, about 5.17% decline. In the same period, the clinker production volume of the Company in China is 24 million MT, increasing 2.3% compared with 2014. The total sales of cement, clinker and slag powder are 30.38 million MT, increasing 1.33% compared with 2014.

  • In 2015, the net loss of the Company’s subsidiaries in China is NT$ 1,530,713 thousand. The Company and its subsidiaries recognized a total investment losses of NT $1,102,113 thousand.

  • B. For domestic cement industry, according to a statistics conducted by the Taiwan Cement Manufacturers’ Association, the 2015 total cement production volume in Taiwan was 13,445,063 MT, decreased 8.09% compared to 2014. Among them, the domestic cement sales was 10,215,068 MT, and exported cement was 3,260,662 MT. Compared with those in 2014, domestic sales decreased by 7.89%, exports decreased by 6.74%. In 2015, due to Taiwan Government policy and the economy, the domestic real estate continued to show decline both in volume and price. The cement consumption decreased slightly to 11,652,768 MT, decreased by 7.24%. The 2015 per capita average cement consumption is about 496 kg, decreased 7.46% from 536 kg in 2014. As a result, the cement market in Taiwan is still showing oversupply.

(East China) as core production bases. In addition to Sichuan Lanfeng Cement Corp., 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 capacity of 1.65 million MT clinker. 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. This substantially reduces electricity costs and minimizes the dependence on external power supply.

B. Sichuan Yadong Cement Co., Ltd

5. Outlook for 2016 international economic situation and economic situation in Taiwan

  • A. Outlook for 2016 international economic situation:

  • i. The economy of the United States continues to expand which becomes the core of global economic growth. IMF expects that US economic growth in 2016 will be 2.86%, as an important engine of the world economy.

  • ii. Eurozone and East Asian countries maintain accommodative monetary policy, coupled with low oil and other commodity prices. They are also expected to drive the global economy forward.

  • iii. The Chinese Government continued elimination of excess capacity and the adjustment of economic structure. These weaken their growth momentum and might constraint the global economy growth.

  • iv. Due to weak domestic demand, Japan still can barely beat deflationary pressures with abenomics.

  • v. As the US Federal Reserve raising interest rates and low commodity and oil prices, emerging and developing countries will continue to face financial market fragility

  • vi. In the absence of strong incentives, the 2016 world economy growth is expected to be low and uneven; the overall growth rate will be slightly higher. According to the IMF forecast, global economic growth in 2016 will slightly increase to 3.6%. Among them, the developed countries will increase 2.2%, 0.2% higher than last year; while the emerging and developing countries will increase 4.5%, 0.5% higher than last year

  • B. Outlook for 2016 economic situation in Taiwan:

Despite the international organizations expect that the global economy in 2016 will be better than in 2015, which will benefit Taiwan's trade and industry. However, the economic outlook is still subject to some uncertainties, such as financial market upheaval, Chinese economic policy, low oil prices, the negotiations progress of free trade agreements of Taiwan.

  • 13 -

  • i. In the financial market, the US Fed has been raising interest rates in December 2015. The subsequent changes of interest rates will affect the global exchange rate, and thus increase trading risks.

  • ii. The 2016 Chinese economic goals is to keep economic growth at a reasonable range, while focusing on economic structural reforms, destocking, deleveraging, reducing industrial capacity, and reducing costs. For Taiwan, the implementation of these policies, as well as their impact on economic growth, will affect the future of Taiwanese trade and economic development. Therefore, the Taiwan Government shall pay close attention to the economic situation in China.

  • iii. If the 2016 oil prices continued downward, which might not be lower than in 2015, the Taiwan industry will be also suffer from the shrinking demand.

  • iv. Facing the trend of trade liberalization, and free trade agreements signed by main competitors of Taiwan, such as South Korea, there will be major challenges for the Taiwan Government in 2016.

As the alternation of governing party in Taiwan in 2016, the new government will inevitably adopt new strategies facing international political and economic situation. It is foreseeable that cross-strait relations will be one of the important factors for Taiwan's 2016 economic performance.

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 6.5%~7%, indicating Chinese economic development is in transition period of adjustment. In the cement industry, the demand in 2016 will decrease 4%. Hereby lists several important policies and outlook relevant to the cement industry:

i. Increasingly stringent environmental standards:

China continues to strengthen the management of industrial air and water pollution, strengthen environmental protection inspection, implement comprehensive online monitoring, and enforce the revised Environmental Protection Act. These will make the 2016 energy consumption per million GDP fall by 3.4%. Small clinker production lines

  • 14 -

and grinding factories will be phased out benefiting large cement groups.

  • 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. The estimated new cement production capacity in 2016 will be less than 36 million MT.

  • b. Acceleration for the elimination of backward production capacity:

Measures includes: supply reform, elimination of excess capacity, mergers and acquisitions, debt restructuring, liquidation, and dealing with “zombie companies."

  • c. Limitation on cement production:

Cement industries in northern China applies peak-shifting production in winter. Limitation on cement production has become very important for the balance of supply and demand and profit. This requires the adjustment of production, transportation and marketing. For example, the cement industry in Sichuan Province applies peak-shifting production in 2016. Each cement production line is required to use peak-shifting production not less than 125 days annually.

iii. Accelerate overseas layout to ease overcapacity:

Since the overcapacity cement in China, China government policy supports excess capacity to move overseas. Major cement groups will accelerate the expansion of overseas markets to effectively ease the pressure of new cement production capacity in China.

iv. Investments boost cement demand:

  • a. In 2016, railway investments reach RMB 800 billion, and road investments reach RMB 1.65 trillion. The budget of central China government increase RMB 500 billion to invest on 20 major water conservancy projects, nuclear power and hydropower, UHV transmission, smart power grid, oil and gas pipelines, and other major urban rail project.

  • b. The adjusted real estate transaction deed tax and business tax effected from February 22, 2016. China government also relaxed mortgage controls to boost the

  • 15 -

real estate market. The Ministry of Housing has also start the construction of 7.4 million units of affordable housing in 2016.

  • c. With the "One Belt One Road", “Integration of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei”, “Yangtze River Economic Belt”, other new Free Trade Area, and “Eco-sponge City Construction”, construction investments in 2016 will significantly increase.

  • v. Mergers and Acquisitions enhance market concentration:

    • a. China government clearly supports mergers and acquisitions between large corporations. Coupled with financial reforms, 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.

    • b. Cross shareholdings will become the prototype of Mergers & Acquisition in the future.

vi. 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.

vii. Low oil prices will help reduce transportation costs:

Oil prices continued to fall, although oil prices rebound slightly in early 2016. It is difficult to restore in short term. This will help control the transportation cost.

B. Cement industry in Taiwan

Taiwanese Public Works budget totaled NT$ 189 billion in 2016, increased NT$ 9.9 billion (+5.5%). Affected by the real estate taxes, the domestic real estate boom continues to slump. Real estate transactions significantly reduced, while housing supply increases. Meanwhile, there will be fewer application for construction license.. There is a large price gap for real estate between buyers and sellers. Moreover, because of factors such as soil liquefaction issue, reduced transaction and price of housing market is expected. The demand for cement will continue to decrease.

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 2016. The estimated production volume in Taiwan is 4,360 thousand MT clinker and 4,530 thousand MT cement. The estimated sales volume in Taiwan is 5,670 thousand MT clinker and cement. The estimated production volume in China is 24,710 thousand MT clinker and 30,970 thousand MT cement. The estimated sales volume in China is 31,820 thousand MT clinker and cement.

8 The Operating Performance in the First Quarter of 2016

In the first quarter of 2016, the consolidated operating income of the Company is NT $ 13,038,960 thousand, decreasing 15.12% from NT $ 15,362,530 thousand in the same period of 2015. The consolidated net profit is NT $ 194,459 thousand, decreased 87.39% from NT $ 1,542,288 thousand in the same period of 2015. As trillion RMB infrastructure investments will gradually start in China in the third quarter, benefits is expected to appear gradually.

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, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. 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 Regulations 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, 2015 and 2014, and their consolidated financial performance and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, 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.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Asia Cement Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, on which we have issued an unqualified report.

March 25, 2016

Notice to Readers

The standards, procedures and practices to audit such consolidated financial statements are those generally applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the independent auditors’ report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China.
