I. Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

Despite the economic downturn in Taiwan, the aviation industry maintains its steady growth. Taiwan’s aviation parts suppliers have been receiving medium- and long-term parts orders from international aircraft/engine companies, and are expanding their capacity accordingly. However, in the face of increasing pressure from cost down demands, new contract subcontract management and pay raise amendment bills, AIDC as well as all the domestic suppliers are subject to harsh cost challenges. In response to this situation, AIDC’s efforts include internally, investing in the R&D of core technologies and implementing LEAN initiatives to reduce costs; externally, providing upgrade assistance to its supply chain partners and utilizing outsourcing resources. It is our hope that by integrating the competitive edge of Taiwan’s suppliers to achieve cost reductions and ensure corporate profits.

To meet the strong market demand and maintain self-developed product service and core competence, AIDC made a significant investment in its fixed assets which included the construction of its Engine Case Manufacturing Center (ECMC), Taiwan Advanced Composite Center (TACC #19) and the F-16 A/B Upgrade & Maintenance Building. These projects are scheduled to be completed and put into operation in 2016 and 2017.

The ECMC is designed for the manufacture of large engine cases to meet the growing requirement for large engine cases. The TACC #19 is aimed at the production of after belly fairing composite parts for Airbus popular models. And the F-16 A/B Upgrade & Maintenance Building is planned for long-term and steady aircraft maintenance business, and will fully support Taiwan’s independent defense industry policy.

I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to all the shareholders for your steadfast support of our programs, and the summary of the report on the operation results for FY 2015 and the business plan for FY 2016 are presented hereunder.

Defense business in Taiwan lies with the defense budget of the government. Although defense

46

budget varied in recent years, it remained at a steady level to support performance upgrade of fighters and advanced trainer replacement project, and at the same time maintain the military power.

While the F-5 fighters have reached its service life and the AT-3 jet trainers have been in service for thirty years, the Air Force has an imminent requirement for replacement. The Ministry of National Defense (MND) has drawn up a budget plan of NT$70 billion to acquire new advanced trainers.

To meet the combat requirement with limited defense budget, performance upgrade and life extension of the aging military aircraft become viable choices. Furthermore, while the MND is working on downsizing and streamlining the armed forces, there stands a good chance for the MND to release the commercial maintenance of military aircraft and government-owned contractor-operated (GOCO) businesses to the private sector.

1.2.1.2 Commercial Aviation

According to the market forecast released by Airbus and Boeing, for the next 20 years air passenger turnover volume will grow at an annual rate of 4.6%-4.9%, with the new aircraft requirement between 32,585-38,050, and a total production value of US$4.9-5.6 trillion. New aircraft featuring lightweight, fuel efficient, and low pollution will be the mainstream product in the market. This also drives for new waves of replacement for new aircrafts by the aviation industry. Composite materials remains an indispensable part in the development. The table depicting 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.

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 MND’s policy of downsizing and streamlining the armed forces, the maintenance of military aircraft has been outsourced to the private sector. This trend will be developed further in stable paces.

In commercial aviation, both Boeing and Airbus forecast that lightweight, fuel efficient and environtal friendly new aircrafts will be the mainstream product in market. This will drive for further demand for replacement of new aircraft in the aviation industry of which composite materials play an indispensable part of the development. The continued demand for passenger planes, cargo planes, and commercial jet liners will also stimulate for a higher demand in the engine market.

In industrial technology service, AIDC supports the government policy of prevention of disasters prevails the relief after disasters and the national energy saving and carbon reduction, and intensifies its operation in aviation service for atmospheric testing and measurement in disaster prevention and energy technology service.

1.2.4 The Competition

1.2.4.1 Defense Business

The performance upgrade and subsequent maintenance of the IDF “Ching Kuo” fighters and AT-3 jet trainers developed and made by AIDC give AIDC an edge in the competition.

1.1.3 Notes to the Variation of the Audited Financial Figures and the Financial Figures

Approved by NAO

1.1.3.1 AIDC is still a state-owned enterprise which requires its accounting and financial statements to be prepared in accordance with the Criteria for the Compilation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers, Commercial Accounting Act, Regulation on Business Entity Accounting Handling, and the ROC GAAP. Where the Executive Yuan, Ministry of Economic Affairs, and the National Audit Office may promulgate different regulations governing the accounting of state-owned enterprises, comply accordingly. Account settlement of each fiscal year shall be subject to the review of the Executive Yuan and the National Audit Office of the Control Yuan. The aforementioned review includes the review of AIDC on the execution of the budget passed by the Legislative Yuan. The accounts of AIDC shall be confirmed only after the review. As of 2012, the journal books of AIDC have been subjected to the review of the

64

Executive Yuan and National Audit Office of the Control Yuan, which was based on the ROC GAAP before the application of IFRSs. Related adjustment has been made and the accounts were updated accordingly.

1.1.3.2 AIDC compiled its financial statement under IFRSs since 2013 in compliance with the “Introduction of IFRSs to State-Owned Enterprises Implementation Scheme” established by the Executive Yuan. The financial report of FY2013 was the very first financial report prepared in accordance with the IFRSs, and has been reviewed by the Executive Yuan and the National Audit Office of the Control Yuan. Related adjustments and accounts update have been made as per their instructions. AIDC switched to the IFRSs on January 1 2012. For the consistency of comparing the financial statements, the aforementioned financial statements covering FY 2012 were prepared and audited under the ROC GAAP with approval of the NAO and also the adjustments under IFRSs. The financial statements covering FY 2013 were prepared in accordance with the IFRSs and reviewed by NAO. The financial statements covering FY 2014 were prepared in accordance with IFRSs and audited accordingly.

1.1.3.3 AIDC was a state-owned enterprise under the Ministry of Economic Affairs and became a private owned corporate on August 21 2014. The financial statements prepared before privatization were based on the figures audited by NAO and Executive Yuan. After privatization, the financial figures audited by independent accountants and the figures approved by NAO are congruent.

1.2 Materiality that may Affect the Consistency of the Aforementioned Condensed Financial Statements in Comparison, such as Change in Accounting Policy, Corporate Merger, or Discontinuation of Specific Operation Segments, and the Effect on the Financial Statement of Relevant Period: None.

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 debt service coverage ratio of FY 2015 is lower than that of FY 2014, mainly because of the increase in the interest of the bank loans.

  2. The A/P Turnover Ratio of FY 2015 is higher than that of FY 2014, mainly because of the continued growth of the aerospace industry which resulted in the increase of revenue and eventually the increase of the cost.

  3. The EBT to Paid-in Capital Ratio of FY 2015 is higher than that of FY 2014 mainly because of the prosperity of the international aerospace industry market that drives the growth of customer requirement; increase of gross profit of engine products; and the decrease of R&D expense.

  4. Cash flow ratio and cash flow reinvestment ratio of FY 2015 are higher that those of FY 2014 mainly because of the net cash used in the settlement of service seniority of the employees under privatization in 2014, and the increase in cash provided by the growth of operation performance of FY 2015.

  5. The Operation Leverage of FY 2015 is lower than that of FY 2014 mainly because of the growth of operation performance that leads to the increase of operating profit.

  6. Note 1: The basis of comparison for FY 2012, FY 2013, FY 2014, FY 2015 and Q1 of FY2016 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.

  7. Note 2: AIDC is not required to prepare consolidated financial statements for FY 2012- FY 2015. As such, the aforementioned figures are information on parent company only; Q1 of FY 2016 is consolidated financial statements.

  8. Note 3: The equation for calculation in this sheet:

  9. Financial structure (1) Liabilities to assets ratio = total liabilities / total assets

  10. (2) Long-term capital to real properties, plant and equipment ratio = (total equity + non-current liabilities) /net real properties, plant, and equipment

  11. Ability to pay debt (1) Current ratio = current assets/ current liabilities

  12. (2) Quick ratio = (current assets – inventory – other financial assets – other current assets)/ current liabilities (3) Debt service coverage ratio = EBIT/ interest expenses in current period

    1. Utility (1) Receivables (including account receivables and note receivables deriving from business operation) turnover rate = net sales/ average receivables (including account receivables and note receivables deriving from business operation) in relevant periods.
  13. (2) Average days of cash receipt = 365/account receivable turnover rate

  14. (3) Inventory turnover rate = cost of operation/ average inventory

  15. (4) Payables (including account payables and note payables deriving from business operation) turnover rate = cost of sales/ balance of average payables (including account payables and note payables deriving from business operation) in relevant periods.

  16. (5) Average days of sales = 365 / inventory turnover rate

  17. (6) Real properties, plant and equipment turnover rate = net sales / average net real properties, plant, and equipment

  18. (7) Total assets turnover = net sales / average total assets

  19. Profitability (1) Return on assets = [Earnings (loss) net + interest expense x (1-tax rate)]/average total assets

  20. (2) Return on equity = Earnings (loss) net / average total equity

  21. (3) EBT to paid-in capital ratio = Earnings (loss) net / average paid-in capital

  22. (4) Net profit rate = Earnings (loss) net / net sales

  23. (5)Earnings per share = (incomes attributable to parent shareholders’ equity – preferred share dividend) /weighted average quantity of outstanding shares (Note 4)

  24. Cash flow

  25. (1) Cash flow ratio = net cash flow from operation / current liabilities

  26. (2) Net cash flow suitability ratio = net cash flow from operation in the last 5 years / (capital expenditure + increase of inventory + cash dividend) in the last 5 years

  27. (3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (net cash flow from operation – cash dividend) / (gross real properties, plant and equipment + long-term investment + other non-current assets + working capital) (Note 5)

  28. Leverage

  29. (1) Operation leverage = (net sales – operating variable cost and expense) / operating income (Note 6)

  30. (2) Financial leverage = operating income / (operating income – interest expenses)

Note 4: On applying the equation for calcuation of the earnings per share, following factors shall be noted:

  1. The calculation is based on the weighted average quantity of common shares, not the number of the outstanding issued shares at year end.

67

  1. In the case of capital increased by cash or trade of treasury stock, time of the circulation shall be considered in calculating weighted average shares.

  2. In the case of capital increase by earnings recapitalization, on calculating earnings per share for the previous fiscal year and 1/2 fiscal year, the calculation shall be retrospected and adjusted per the ratio of capital increase, not the period of issuance.

  3. If the stock is non-convertible cumulative preferred stock, the dividend of the current year (whether distribute or not) shall be deducted from net profit or added to net loss. If the preferred stock is non-cumulative, in the case of net earnings, dividend of the preferred stock shall be deducted from net earnings; no adjustment is required in the case of loss.

  4. Note 5: On cash flow analysis, following factors shall be noted:

  5. Net cash flow provided by operating activity refers to the net cash inflow provided by operating activity in the Statement of Cash Flows.

  6. Capital expense refers to the cash flow of capital investment each year.

  7. Inventory increase shall only be recorded when the amount at the end of the period is greater than that of the beginning of the period; if less, the number 0 shal be recorded.

  8. Cash dividend includes cash dividend of common share and preferred share.

  9. Gross value of real properties, plant and equipment refers to the total value of real properties, plant and equipment before deducting accumulated depreciation.

  10. Note 6: The issuer shall break items of operating cost and operating expense into fixed and variable categories. In

  11. the event that estimation or subjective judgement is involved, rationality and consistency shall be observed.

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; for reducing purchase cost, adopt batch material purchase which resulted in increase in
inventory; and for cutting the borrowing rate, increase the pledge of USD certificate of deposit.
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.Increase of real properties, plant and equipment: mainly because of the replacement and construction of the
F-16A/B upgrade and maintenance building, ECMC and TACC-19 facilities.
4.Increase of intangible assets: mainly because of the increase of project development expenses for acquisition of
airplane and air vehicle maintenance products.
5.Increase of total assets: mainly because of the increase of current assets and real properties, plant and
equipment.
6.Increase of non-current liabilities and total liabilities: mainly because of the increase of long-term loans for the
investment of fixed assets.
7.Increase of other equity: mainly because of the translation of foreign currency financial statements of associated
enterprise International Turbine Engine Company LLC resulted in the increase of cumulative translation
adjustments.
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 current period.

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 2014 and FY 2015.

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 operating gross profit and operating net income: mainly because of the growth of customers’ requirements, increase of gross profit of engine products, and decrease of R&D expense.

2.Decrease of operating expense: mainly because of the closure of part of commercial aircraft R&D projects which resulted in the decrease of R&D expense.

3.Decrease of non-operating revenues and expenditures: mainly because of the decrease of the net exchange gain from the export due to the fluctuations of exchange rate against USD and the transfer of liabilities to miscellaneous income.

4.Increase of income tax expense: mainly because of increase of the net income from the growth of operating

income in current year which resulted in the increase of income tax and undistributed earnings tax expenses.

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. The decrease of R&D expense also contributed to the increase. 6.Increase of other comprehensive income (after taxation): mainly because of the recognition of actuarial benefit of the defined benefit plan under the actuarial report for FY2015.

  1. 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 (after taxation).

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 2014 and FY 2015.

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:

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.

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

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

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

Interest income in FY 2015 amounted to NT$21,519 thousand or accounted for 0.08% of the corporate earnings. Interest expense in the same year amounted to NT$133,440 thousand or accounted for 0.5% 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.

6.1.2 The Effect of Exchange Rate Fluctuation on the Income Level of the Company and the Response in the Future

Net exchange gain in FY 2015 amounted to NT$292,404 thousand or accounted for 1.09% 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:

  • 6.1.2.1 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.

  • 6.1.2.2 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.

  • 6.1.2.3 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.

6.1.3 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

101

rate. In addition, the Company continues its effort in controlling the cost of operation. As such, the effect of inflation on its operation and profit position is not significant.

  • 6.2 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

  • 6.2.1 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.

  • 6.2.2 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.

  • 6.2.3 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 2015 to March 2016, the Company has not conducted any derivative trade.

6.3 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 a great amount of funding to satisfy the needs of business development and customer orders. In the future, the Company will continue to invest 2%~4% of the revenue per year in research and development for attaining the goal of the operation as planned.

6.4 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.

6.5 The Effect of Technological and Industrial Changes on the Operation and Financial Position of the Company and the Response

According to U.S. Energy Information Administration, North Sea Brent crude oil prices averaged $54/barrel in 2015, and are forecast to $56/barrel in 2016. While the oil prices remain at a lower level, it contributes to higher uncertainty in aircraft purchase. The falling oil prices may affect the market of replacement for new passenger aircraft, but the cost of fuel is not the only factor for the airlines to decide on the purchase of new aircraft, other factors such as low interest rates (which make the cost of capital for purchasing new aircrafts relatively low) and meeting the needs of newly emerged markets are also considered stimuli for new aircraft purchase.

For environmental protection, demands for light weight, fuel efficiency, low carbon and reduced emission continue to lead the design and development of new aircrafts and engines,

102

and the application of composite materials plays a key part in this trend. Further to the investment in TACC, AIDC also invested in the construction of TACC #19 for the production of composite parts and components of the popular single aisle A320 series aircraft, in order to bolster its position as tier 1 supplier of Airbus as well as contribute to the financial position and operation of the Company.

In light of the rapid advances of technology, AIDC will keep abreast of and be prepared for the development of related technologies and market trend.

6.6 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.

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

In the previous year to the date this report is 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.

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

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

6.8.1 Expected Result: capacity expansion can help to accommodate a large volume of engine case 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.

6.8.2 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.

6.8.3 The construction work and procurement of the equipment of the aforementioned capacity expansion projects are progressing as scheduled, and is expected to satisfy customer orders.

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

103

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

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 32.78%, 35.14% and 34.98% of purchase, respectively. The number one supplier in these years accounted for 5.80%, 5.98% and 8.55% of the purchase of respective years. 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 no over concentration of purchase either.)

6.9.2 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 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 commercial use. The biggest customer is still the Ministry of National Defense whose share of business accounted for 90% at the initial stage of the operation, and fell gradually over the years to less than 50%. As such, there is no risk of concentration of sales.

6.10 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 is printed, AIDC has provided shares for employees to subscribe on a favorable term and preemptive basis pursuant to the regulations of the Statute of Privatization of Government-Owned Enterprises. The dominant shareholder, the Ministry of Economic Affairs disposed 2.38% of its shares. However, there is limitation of shares for subscription in the aforementioned means and there is no shareholder holding more than 10% of the stakes. The Ministry of Economic Affairs remains 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.

6.11 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.

104

  • 6.12 Lawsuits or Non-contentious Matters

  • 6.12.1 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 influence on the shareholders’ equity or stock price?
