I. Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

First of all, I would like to proudly announce myself as a part of the “AIDC” team, which allows me to work hand-in-hand with all those in AIDC to go for the best, for the benefit of all shareholders.

The rise of the newly emerged markets, the sustained growth of flight routes and traffic volume, and the strong appeal to environmental protection, drove the air transportation industry into a new wave of replacement of new hardware. As such, the demand for the purchase of new aircraft and new models of aircraft engines surged. Despite the prosperity of business, AIDC is bound to confront even keener competition from the global supply chain. Under such circumstance, all manufacturers of the parts and components in the system in all sizes of operations attuned to lean production and cost restructuring in order to keep their competitive edge.

In the past, AIDC has successfully established its foothold in the markets of various industries with its state-of-the-art technological know-how and innovative management skill, and made itself a top-notch performer in these markets. Yet, AIDC seeks to do better. Seeing the challenges in the future will be even more unanticipated, AIDC will further upgrade its technological know-how and refine its management capability, and will keep abreast of the trend of the development of the global aerospace industry. Conceived with vision and dedicated to its corporate philosophy, AIDC will carry on the heritage of its predecessors for new triumph. Under the effort of all in 2014, AIDC has made profit for 8 consecutive years and has maintained stable growth in revenue and pre-tax earnings.

May I express my gratitude to all the shareholders for your perpetual supports in our programs. I would like to present the summary of the report on the operation result in FY 2014 and the business plan in FY 2015:

Business Plan in FY 2015

Business Development Planning

  • * In the area of defense business, AIDC seeks to successfully upgrade the performance of the jet fighters in desired quality on schedule, and to make effort for securing orders for the maintenance of different types of aircraft and the manufacturing of advance and lead-in trainers with domestic resources or through international cooperation.

  • * In the area of civil aviation, AIDC seeks to expand its production capacity and vendor system for more business in the adding of high value for parts and components of aircraft segments and engines.

  • * In the area of industrial technology service, AIDC will extend its momentum of aerospace technology to disasters prevention and rescue, to atmospheric testing and measurement service, to support the national objective of energy saving and carbon reduction, and to expands in the business of green energy.

Corporate Management Policy

AIDC has adopted the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a management tool a few years ago. This BSC system helps to converge and link the Company’s vision, strategy, objectives, the gravity of works for each department and the action plans, and this system has been properly implemented in full effort under the culture of accountability. In an environment where the aerospace industry is extremely competitive worldwide, AIDC will spare no effort to secure more business, and will continue to refine its management capability. The corporate management policy in FY 2015 will cover:

  • Optimization of financial structure ▲ Upgrade the competitive power of composite materials ▲ Satisfaction of customer value ▲ Launch the lean activity of production

  • Refinement of core business process

  • Vitalization of human resources and strengthening of core competence

  • Planning and advocacy of the vital energy buildup

  • Fortify the supply chain and integration with outsourced contractors

  • Conduct of Corporate Social Responsibility

At this critical moment of privatization and organizational transformation, the quest for excellence and sustainable development through the perpetuation of the heritage of “Innovative Research and Development, and Leadership in Technology” for maintaining “indigenous capacity of the aerospace industry” and the competitive power of “competition and cooperation with the civil aviation sector” will be the ultimate goal of the AIDC management team. In the future, we hope we have the continued support and further encouragement from all shareholders so that AIDC can create a prosperous future for the aerospace industry and start a new page of the glorious economic development of Taiwan driven by the new wave of oil prices and surging demand in market!

May I wish you all good luck and good health.

1.2 Industry Outlook

1.2.1 Industry Outlook and Development

1.2.1.1 Defense Industry

In Taiwan, about 70% of the military planes are about to be retired from service in 10 years. Examples are the F-5 jet fighters, which have already been consumed to expire. For the AT-3 trainer

44

plane, it has been in service for 30 years. The replacement need of these fighter planes is clear. In addition, China has already deployed a new generation of advanced jet fighter along the straits, which posed a security threat to Taiwan.

The defense budget has been on continuous the growth despite being up and down in recent years. The budget is set for supporting the upgrade of the performance of different types of jet fighters and for the replacement of advanced military trainer plane for maintaining the air defense power. The pursuit of the “recruitment” system instead of the conscription system, and the “yong gu scheme” of downsizing the military force would help to the growth of outsourcing business for the maintenance of military aircrafts in the private sector and the privatization of state-owned enterprises.

1.2.1.2 Civil Aviation

Both Boeing and Airbus have forecast sustained growth in global air transportation in the future, with the air travelers turnover rate grown by 4.7% to 5.0% in the next 2 decades. New aircrafts featuring lightweight, fuel efficient, and low pollution will be the mainstream product in market. This also drives for new waves of replacement for new aircrafts by the aviation industry. Composite materials remained an indispensable part in the development. The table showing the forecast of the demand for new aircrafts is shown below with gravity at Asia-Pacific, which accounted for 37% ~40% of the world. Single-aisle plane would be the product of primary demand in market. The forecast of Boeing is shown in the table below. The sustained growth of passenger, cargo, and commercial jet liners also drive the growth of the demand for new engine.

1.2.3 Different Development Trends of Products

In national defense, most of the jet fighters are at the brink of retirement from service. As such, the Ministry of National Defense has budgeted for the purchase of new fighters for replacement, and for long-term maintenance and performance improvement of the jet fighters and trainer planes currently in service. Under the new policy of “recruitment” of armed forces instead of conscription, the maintenance of military aircrafts has been outsourced to private firms. This trend will be developed further in stable paces.

In civil aviation, both Boeing and Airbus forecast that lightweight, fuel efficient and low pollution new aircrafts will be mainstream product in market. This will drive for further demand for replacement of new aircrafts in the aviation industry of which composite materials are an indispensable part of the development.

2.3 If a domestic company has been going public for 7 consecutive years, or a foreign company has been public for 7 consecutive years but the financial statements were audited by the same certified public accountant, explain why there is no replacement of the certified public accountant, the independence of the certified public accountant currently in service, and substantive measures taken by the Company to bolster the independent position of the certified public accountant.

For the independence of the certified public accountant and in supporting the internal rotation of duties of the CPA firm, the Company supports the internal rotation of duties of the CPA firm in 2014 thereby replaced the certified public accountants acting as external auditors for the Company. The aforementioned situation does not exist.

Reasons for Changes in the Items of Financial Analysis in the Last 2 Years (if the change falls below 20%, no
analysis is necessary):
1. The ratio between long-term capital to real properties, plants and equipment of 2014 was higher than
2013 mainly because of the growth of operation performance to the extent that corporate earnings
increased in this period and also the equity.
2. The current ratio in 2014 was lower than 2013 mainlybecause of the increase in bank loans in the

64

settlement of service seniority of the employees under privatization to the extent that cash and cash equivalent in the same period decreased.

  1. The average days of cash receipt in 2014 was more than 2013 mainly because the revenue in Q4 2014 was higher than the same period of 2013, to the extent that account receivable also increased.

  2. The ROA, ROE, earnings to paid-in capital ratio. EBT to paid-in capital ratio, net profit rate, and EPS in FY2014 increased from FY2013 mainly because of the prosperity of the international aerospace industry market that drove the growth of operation performance, to the extent that gross profits of relevant products, net exchange gain and the proportion of revenue from associated enterprises accounted for under the equity method increased, which resulted in the increase of earnings in the period.

  3. Cash flow ratio and cash flow reinvestment ratio were affected by the settlement of service seniority of the employees under privatization in 2014, and the increase in payment for procurement in supporting military procurement, to the extent that there was net cash outflow from operation in 2014.

  4. The cash flow suitability ratio in 2014 was lower than in the same period of 2013 mainly because of the decrease of net cash flow from operation in the last 5 years and the increase of purchase.

  5. Note 1: The basis of comparison for FY2012, FY2013, FY2014, and Q1 of FY2015 are the figures approved by National Audit Office (NAO) under ROC GAAP +IFRSs adjustment, figures approved by NAO under IFRSs, audited figures under IFRSs, and audited figures under IFRSs, respectively.

Significant changes in the components of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity (change in 10% of more and
the amount changed approximated NTD 10 million) in the last 2 years, the main causes and the effect, and the plan
for responding to the changes are specified below:
1.Increase of current assets: mainly because of the growth of operation performance with eventual increase of
account receivables and increase in purchase and inventory.
2.Increase in investment accounted for under the equity method: mainly because of the increase in the share of
profit from the associated enterprise of International Turbine Engine Company LLC. accounted for under the
equity method.
3.Decrease of intangible assets: mainly because of the conversion of the amortization of the expenses incurred
from airplane and vehicle maintenance project to cost of operation.
4.Increase of other assets: mainly because of the increase of prepayment for purchase of equipment and the
estimate of recognized deferred income tax assets.
5.Increase of total assets: mainly because of the increase of current assets and other assets.
6.Increase of current liabilities and total liabilities: mainly because of the disbursement for the settlement of
service seniority of the employees under privatization that resulted in the increase of short-term loans.
7.Decrease of noncurrent liabilities: mainly because of the decease of accruable pension liabilities under the
disbursement for the settlement of service seniority of the employees under privatization.
8.Increase of retained earnings and total equity: mainly because of the growth of operation performance that
resulted in the increase of earnings net in currentperiod.

Note: the comparison was made by figures approved by NAO in accordance with the IFRSs and the audited figures in accordance with IFRSs in FY 2013 and FY 2014.

The major causes of significant changes in revenue, operating income and EBT (change of more than 10% and the
absolute value of change amounted to NT$10 million):
1.Increase of gross profit and operating net income: mainly because of the increase of the real gross profit from
maintenance of airplanes and vehicles, engines.
2.Increase of operating expense: recognized increase of the cost of defined benefit plan under actuarial
calculation and the increase of R&D expenses.
3.Increase of non-operating income and expense: mainly because of the increase of net exchange gain, the share
of profit from associates accounted for under the equity method, and the conversion of account payables to
other incomes.
4.Increase of income tax benefit: mainly because of the disbursement of service seniority settlement under the
privatization of the enterprise that pushed up the deferred tax assets and resulted in income tax benefits.
5.Increase of EBT and earnings net in current period: the prosperity of the international aerospace market
continued with the increase of business scale for further upgrade of business profit, which resulted in the
increase of gross profit for all types of products. Factors such as the increase of net exchange gain, the share of
profit from associates accounted for under the equity method that resulted in the increase of non-operating
incomes and expenses. These contributed to the increase of EBT and earnings net in current period.
6.Decrease of other comprehensive income (after taxation): mainly because of the recognition of actuarial benefit
of the defined benefit plan under the actuarial report for FY2013, and the assessment result of FY 2014 did not
require the recognition of actuarial benefit from defined benefit plan.
7. Increase of total comprehensive income: mainly because of the growth of operation performance to the extent
that earnings increased in currently period with the increase of other comprehensive income (corporate
earnings).

Note: the comparison was made by figures approved by NAO in accordance with the IFRSs and the audited figures in accordance with IFRSs in FY 2013 and FY 2014.

2.2 The Effect of the Reference for the Projection of Sale Volume on the Operation and Financial Position of the Company, and the Measures in Response:

AIDC projects its sale volume on the basis of market demand and development trend, the operation outlook of its customers, and the customer orders on hand and the production capacity. The products of AIDC were recognized by the customers and customer order quantity is stable. There is also the opportunity of new business. It is expected that the sale volume will grow in the future.

2.3 Possible Effect on the Financial Position and Operation of the Company: No significant influence.

Cash reinvestment ratio(%) 11.67% - -

Notes to the Analysis of the Proportion of Change:

  1. Cash Flow Ratio and Cash Reinvestment Ratio:

The disbursement for service seniority of the employees for settlement under privatization and the

increase in the payment for the military procurement project resulted in net cash outflow from operation in FY 2014

  1. Cash Flow Suitability Ratio fell:

Mainly because of the decrease of net cash flow from operation in the last 5 years but with the increase of purchase.

6. Risks under Assessment in Previous Year to the Date this Report was Printed

6.1 Industry and Operation Risk

6.1.1 The Rise of the Newly Emerged Economies Unleashed Cutthroat Competition in OEM

Production and the Threat of Trade Order Displacement

The aviation industry in the newly emerged economies is on the rise. With their relative low cost of labor, such as in China, India, and Mexico, they gradually formed a new cluster of aviation manufacturing sector. Accordingly, the international aerospace product supply chain is being regrouped. The outcome is low cost competition in OEM production and the threat of attracting purchase orders to these regions. AIDC will spare no effort in making investment for capacity expansion, and to work in conjunction with domestic vendors to form a supply team for presenting joint quotation in order to position at the higher end along the industry chain of the international aerospace industry to reduce the risk of cutthroat competition. Furthermore, AIDC will continue to invest in the R&D of technology for bolstering its core competence, technology and process upgrade, and the advocacy of lean production process to reduce cost for the eventual fortification of its competitive power. AIDC will take another step forward by seeking joint venture with major international aerospace manufacturing firms to broaden its competitive edge, fortify the relation of the international supply chain system, and seek new prospective strategic partners from international giant aerospace firms like Boeing and GE.

6.1.2 The Effect of Exchange Rate Fluctuation on Profitability of the Company

AIDC has been proactively sought to develop the business in civilian aircraft and engine in the last 3 fiscal years, and moved towards an export-oriented operation in the proportion of 50.24%, 57.58%, and 62.33%, respectively. Export sales are mainly denominated in USD. In addition, most of the accredited suppliers of materials and equipment are in Europe and America, and the purchase from them is also denominated in USD. As such, the purchases from foreign sources in the last fiscal periods are 89.78%, 89.10%, and 90.52%, respectively. The export value of AIDC usually goes higher than the purchase value from foreign sources. Under normal condition, the nature hedge of account will usually give a balance of USD. Therefore,

100

exchange rate fluctuation does influence the income level of the Company to certain extent. For this reason, the financial staff of the Company always pays close attention to the development of international political and economic situation, intensify its liaison with the financial institutions for consultation, and gather real-time information on exchange rate to keep abreast of the changes in the exchange rate. In addition, they also make adjustment of the foreign exchange position at any time as needed to mitigate the effect of exchange rate fluctuation. As required by the competent authority, the Company has instituted the “Procedure for Derivative Trade” so as to use proper financial tool for hedging off the risk deriving from exchange rate fluctuation and minimize the impact of exchange rate fluctuation on the Company.

6.2 The Effect of Interest Rate and Exchange Rate Fluctuation and Inflation on the Income Level of the Company and the Responding Measures

6.2.1 The Effect of Interest Rate Fluctuation on the Income Level of the Company and the Response in the Future

Interest income in FY 2014 amounted to NT$ 29,623 thousand or accounted for 0.12% of the corporate earnings. Interest expense in the same year amounted to NT$ 64,256 thousand or accounted for 0.26 % of the corporate earnings. These figures indicated that interest expense has marginal effect on the income level of the Company. The Company also makes timely adjustment of the use of capital in line with the change in interest rate to mitigate the influence of interest rate fluctuation on income level.

6.2.2 The Effect of Exchange Rate Fluctuation on the Income Level of the Company and the

Response in the Future

Net exchange gain in FY 2014 amounted to NT$ 447,082 thousand or accounted for 1.79% of the corporate revenue. The Company has its export sales and purchases of the Company mostly denominated in USD and therefore takes the following measures to tackle with exchange rate fluctuation:

  • 6.2.2.1 Gather timely information on the exchange rate and is engaged in frequent consultation with relevant financial institutions on mapping out the hedge strategy in exchange rate in order to keep abreast of the trend of exchange rate.

  • 6.2.2.2 Manage the liabilities and assets denominated in foreign currencies through offsetting account payables and receivables with flexibility to minimize the effect of exchange rate fluctuation.

  • 6.2.2.3 In compliance with the requirement of the competent authority, the Company has instituted the “Procedure for Derivative Trade” so as to use proper financial tool for hedging off the risk deriving from exchange rate fluctuation and minimize the impact of exchange rate fluctuation on the Company.

6.2.3 The Effect of Inflation on the Income Level of the Company and the Response in the Future

Most of the quotations for long-term orders of the Company are adjustable with inflation rate. In addition, the Company continues its effort in controlling the cost of operation. As such,

101

the effect of inflation on its operation and profit position is not significant.

6.3 The Policy of the Company in Undertaking High Risk and High Leverage Investment, Lending to a Third Party, Guarantee and Endorsement, and Derivative Trade, the Main Causes of Profit or Loss, and the Response in the Future

  • 6.3.1 The Company is conceived with the corporate philosophy of stable growth in its operation and only takes forwards contract for hedging. As such, the Company does not undertake any high risk or high leverage investment and financial operation.

  • 6.3.2 The Board resolved in a session dated July 30 2007 that the Company shall not engage in any lending to third party or undertaking of guarantee and endorsement.

  • 6.3.3 In compliance with the requirement of the competent authority, the Company has instituted the “Procedure for Derivative Trade” as the guideline for derivative trade. From FY 2014 to April 2015, the Company has not conducted any derivative trade.

6.4 R&D Plan in the Future and Projected R&D Expenses

The Company has made ceaseless effort over the years to upgrade the human resources in research and development and committed larger amount of funding to satisfy the needs of business development and customer orders. In the future, the Company will continue to invest NT$ 0.4 to 0.6 billion per year in research and development for attaining the goal of the operation as planned.

6.5 Changes in the Legal and Policy Environment at Home and Aboard and its Influence on the

Operation and Financial Position of the Company, and the Response

The Company runs its operation in compliance with applicable legal rules at home and abroad, and pays close attention to any change in the policy and legal environment. The Company responds to any change in the policy and legal environment by making appropriate adjustment in related business and financial operation. In the previous year to the date this report was printed, the Company has not been affected by any change in the policy and legal environment at home and abroad.

6.6 The Effect of Technological and Industrial Changes on the Operation and Financial Position

of the Company and the Response

According to the economic forecast of Global Insight in January 2015, global economic growth in 2015 is projected 3.0% at and will be as high as 3.4% in 2016. The forecast of aerospace manufacturing giant firms, such as Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, and Rolls-Royce and other professional assessors hold optimistic view about the trend of the long-term development of the aerospace industry.

The falling price of oil may affect the market of replacement for new aircrafts, but fuel efficiency is not the only concern for the airlines companies for purchase new aircrafts. Other factors, such as low interest rate (which makes the cost of capital for purchasing new aircrafts relatively low), and the meeting the needs in the newly emerged markets, are also considered.

As such, lightweight, fuel efficient, and environmental friendly aircrafts and engines will be the new trend of civil aviation industry worldwide. The application of composite materials will

102

be critical in this trend of development. Further to the investment in TACC, the Company also plans to invest for the establishment of facility for the design, development and production of aerospace composite materials with the succession of technological capacity on hand, introduction of advanced technologies and machinery, and engagement in joint venture with international aerospace giant firms. These measures will help the Company to establish a position in the booming market of aerospace composite materials and will contribute to the financial position and operation of the Company.

AIDC will keep abreast of the development of related technologies and market trend, and will assess the effect of the development on the operation of the Company.

6.7 The Effect of the Change in Corporate Image on Corporate Crisis Management and the

Response

AIDC is strictly attached to its corporate philosophy of “Accountability, Integrity, Innovation, Dedication, and Customer Orientation” and its corporate culture and seeks to upgrade its technology in the production and manufacturing of aircrafts and quality management at all times. It also seeks to enhance its relation with the customers and create value for the customers, and spares no effort in upgrading its quality and efficiency through internal management and external inspection. AIDC has positive corporate image and has no significant change in such image that may result in corporate crisis.

6.8 Expected Return On and Possible Risk from Mergers and Acquisitions, and the Response

In the previous year to the date this report was printed, AIDC has no plan for acquiring any other companies. If there is such a plan in the future, AIDC will take caution in the assessment and will fully consider the synergy after the merger, and comply with applicable legal rules and the internal code of the Company to protect the interest of the Company and shareholders’ equity.

6.9 Expected Return On and Possible Risk from Capacity Expansion, and the Response

AIDC has already secured business from international giant firms in engine casing and components and parts in composite materials, and the maintenance of military aircrafts of the country. After its consultation with the international giant firms, AIDC will launch the plan for the building of new plants for housing the engine casing manufacturing center, composite materials manufacturing centers, and the depot for the maintenance of military aircrafts. The expected result, possible risk, and response are elaborated below:

6.9.1 Expected Result: capacity expansion can help to accommodate a larger volume of engine casing and composite materials production and the maintenance of military aircrafts. This helps to satisfy the needs of customer orders and also enhance the economic efficiency.

6.9.2 Possible Risk and Response: the Company has completed its assessment on the schedule of plant construction, business volume, cost of production, and the sources of capital, and has mapped out the goals for managing relevant risks and a backup plan.

6.10 The Risk Deriving from Concentration of Purchase or Sales and the Response

6.10.1 Assessment of the Risk Deriving from Concentration of Purchase and the Response:

103

The procurement of AIDC is mainly based on the procurement operation procedure of AIDC. Purchase will be made by tender offer by nature of the content of purchase, and could be classified as public tender, selective tender, restricted tender and joint supply contracts. The top 10 suppliers of AIDC in the last 3 years accounted for 39.00%, 32.78%, and 35.14% of purchase, respectively. The number one supplier in these years accounted for 7.00%, 5.80%, and 5.98% of the purchase of respective year. There is no particular supply that purchases amounted to 30% or more. AIDC has developed strong bonding with key suppliers in the long run and the supply from these suppliers in the last 3 years was good. There is no shortage of supply, severing of supply or delay that affected production. There is also no over concentration of purchase.

6.10.2 Assessment of Risk Deriving from Concentration of Sales and the Response

Conceived with the mission of “Self-reliance in defense with indigenous technologies”, AIDC concentrated its sales to the Ministry of Defense in the past. Under the increasing attention of the international aerospace giant firms in aerospace technologies, AIDC sought to develop new overseas customers in aircrafts and engines. As such, the business line has been changed from military supply to a proper balance between military supply and civilian use. The biggest customer is still the Ministry of National Defense which share of business accounted for 90% at the initial stage of the operation, and adjusted to 48.06%, 41.18%, and 36.40% as were in FY 2012 to FY 2014, respectively. The proportion of revenues from sales to the Ministry of National Defense fell gradually over the years. As such, there is no risk of concentration of sales.

6.11 The Massive Transfer or Swap of Shares by the Directors, Supervisors, or Dominant Shareholders Holding more than 10% of the Stakes and the Influence, Risk on the Company and the Response

In the previous year to the date this report was printed, the dominant shareholder, the Ministry of Economic Affairs disposed its shares 54% under the privatization of state-owned enterprise policy for the subscription of AIDC employees, auction for public offering, and subscription. However, there is limitation of shares for subscription in the aforementioned means and there is no shareholder holding more than 10% of the stakes. Still, the Ministry of Economic Affairs is still the dominant shareholder and such changes in shareholding structure did not cause any influence on the operation of the Company. There is also no massive transfer or swap of shares by the Directors, Supervisors, or shareholders holding more than 10% of the stakes.

6.12 The Influence On and the Risk Deriving from the Change in the Management and the

Response

The Ministry of Economic Affairs is still the dominant shareholders by holding specific proportion of the shares after privatization of AIDC. As such, the change in equity structure did not cause any unfavorable influence on the management.

6.13 Lawsuits or Non-contentious Matters

6.13.1 Are there suits, non-contentious matters or administrative action, ruled or still pending, in the last 2 years to the date this report was printed, and the result may cause significant
