Attachment 1
Chinese Maritime Transport Ltd. 2022 Business Report
1. Operating Strategies
2022 was the starting point of post-pandemic inflation. Covid-19 Pandemic gradually faded away and global seaborne trade has been returning to normal. Improvement of logistic gridlock together with newbuilding deliveries had suppressed freights. Interest rate hikes have increased borrowing costs for capital-intensive shipping companies but simultaneously generated additional interest income for CMT.
Under the shadow of PRC’s zero-COVID policy and real estate crisis, demand for raw material and freight decreased while steel production and sales had also reduced last year. However, global iron ore trades had been relatively strong and Chinese import level remained stable. Iron ore prices reached US$ 160 per ton in Q1/2022 before dropping sharply to US$ 80 per ton due to decline in steel demand but still averaged US$ 120 per ton for the calendar year. Long-haul coal shipments into European countries surged after the Ukraine-Russia war therefore the dry bulk sector as a whole benefited from the incremental demand therefrom.
Capesize 5TC average dropped to US$ 5,826 in January 2022 but quickly rebounded to US$ 20,000 level before end of Q1. Although spot rates had reached almost US$ 40,000 per day in Q2, the rates could not manage to move up any further. For the entire 2022, BCI averaged 1,951 points with spot rate averaging US$ 16,177 per day.
CMT contracted with CSSC Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. to build four ecoNewcastlemax bulk carriers in 2021 and they will start being delivered from Q2 2023 as a part of its efforts to upgrade the fleet. In addition to strengthen crew training, the Company has also concentrating its efforts on the three pillars of environmental protection, navigational safety and IT security. The Company will continue to improve quality of service by replacing vintage tractors and machineries while optimizing group-wide digitalization and operating procedures.
Under the principles of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance), CMT is committed to create greatest value for the shareholders while elevating equipment efficiency, employee proficiency and safety standards. For the mandates of safeguarding the environment, CMT actively promotes cross-functional collaboration in order to jointly execute energy-saving plans. The Company optimizes performance and adopts latest digital technology through integration of resources and proper policies of risk management. The goal of creating corporate competitiveness and influence will be achieved while generating greatest value for all stakeholders and realizing Company’s social responsibilities.

2. Overview of Implementation
2.1 Shipping
Capesize 5TC average had returned to normal levels after reaching 10-year high in 2021 after PRC’s zero-COVID and real estate crisis negatively affected demand for steel and commodities in 2022. The Chinese government’s post-pandemic shift to favorable real estate policies will support the housing market and dry bulk freights. Going forward, the freight market will remain volatile while new environmental regulations will soon trigger scrapping of vintage vessels. There are about 70 capesize newbuildings scheduled for delivery in 2023 and net fleet growth rate should remain below 2.0%.
CMT’s four Newcastlemax newbuildings will surely satisfy IMO’s stringent requirement for the next twenty years and the retrofitting work on existing fleet to improve fuel efficiency will be completed soon. The fleet upgrading program vastly improves the CMT’s competitive advantage and is a testament of its goal to fulfill corporate social responsibilities in the foreseeable future.
Whilst global logistic operation has been returning to normal after the pandemic, the geo-political tension is still escalading around the world as imminent threats will always present new challenges. Major economies are facing the impact of inflation and rising energy prices which shall never be overlooked. Shipping market faces oversupplied tonnages but the supply chain disruption may return at any given time therefore it calls for a dynamic operating model through advanced planning. PRC government shall focus on stimulating the economy but the success will be predicated on the resurgence of real estate market going forward. As always, CMT will spread its charter renewals throughout each year in order to hedge against volatility and maximize revenue.
2.2 Inland Trucking
The Covid-19 Pandemic has triggered inflation across the world therefore supply chains are relatively unstable. Taiwan’s import/export container market has been chaotic amid congestions in major ports which drastically minimizes operational efficiency. ATI continues to operate with diversity and optimism while enhancing sustainability. It prioritizes customers’ satisfaction and shareholders’ benefit while reducing carbon emissions by acquiring 6th generation environment-friendly tractors.
2.3 Logistics
Collaboration between Taipei Port and Evergreen Marine Corp. induced shippers to relocate cargoes to Taipei Port with below-cost rates. Despite of market challenges arising from such tactic, CMTL is dedicated to improve quality of service by reinforcing lateral communication upgrading IT system and strengthening employee training. By recognizing its competitive advantage in geographical locations and expertise, the Company will seize the opportunities to excel by increasing revenue and customer satisfaction.
- 8 -
2.4 Environmental, Social, and Governance
CMT dedicated its efforts to implement corporate governance, develop sustainable environment and achieve social welfare. The Company closely monitors the impact of environmental protection and climate changes on its operation. Through establishment of sustainability committee, the Company voluntarily records greenhouse gas data prior to government mandates, while actively evaluates risk and opportunities arising from extreme weather conditions in order to plan for prevention and improvement.
Guided by international conventions and EU regulations, we continue to collaborate with Class Societies to measure and reduce our capesize fleet’s carbon emission through means of burning low sulfur fuel, applying weather routing services and installing energy saving devices. Ship management implements fleet renewal program to utilize high efficiency main engines and eco-design to achieve goals of environmental protection.
In trucking, we successfully reduce emissions by operating 6th generation tractors while introducing energy-saving technologies such as electric tractors and promoting eco-driving habits to reduce energy consumption. In logistics side, the Company also phased out old equipment and upgrade lighting with LED lights together with proper recycling in order to reduce CO2 emissions. We are always following latest regulations and enhance continuously to protect the environment.
CMT recognizes the responsibility of promoting social welfare through allocating additional emergency response team, training programs, and accident preventions under the labor safety and health management system. There is clear communication channel through which employees can file complaints directly. The Company has provided annual health exams and monthly consultation by medical staff from major hospitals. There is communication SOP for seamen rights and satisfaction survey, plus online medical consultation and ashore wellness services. The Company voluntarily joins forces with RightShip and other world-class shipping companies to launch Seafarers Code of Conduct and self-assessment to provide safe working environment for the crew.
Employees are the foundation of our success. We continue to focus our employee benefits by establishing employee welfare committee to subsidize annual trips and special bonuses. We encourage further education and training by supporting employees who seek higher degrees locally. There is adequate insurance coverage to protect the employees by minimizing their burden in the events of accidents. Furthermore, through flexible HR planning, the Company reduced the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic by following government’s recommendation for epidemic prevention measures and budgeted several pandemic subsidies to boost morale.
The Company always ensures corporate compliance and internal control under its comprehensive supply chain management system. We carefully assess quality of suppliers and comply with sustainable management by mutually pledging to protect the environment and fair trades. We have also use questionnaires to evaluate quality of supplied items to ascertain the level of compliance with worldwide standards without which then such contractual relationship will be terminated immediately.

CMT’s charitable foundation has been actively involved in philanthropy particularly focusing on young people’s development and programs to help underprivileged members in the society. The foundation participates in public welfare activities locally and assists young students through the CMT Shipping Scholarship Fund to incubate shipping professionals in Taiwan.
CMT will always enhance corporate governance, risk management, IT security, communication with stakeholders, commercial integrity, and intellectual property management plan to achieve our corporate ESG blueprint.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of CHINESE MARITIME TRANSPORT LTD.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of CHINESE MARITIME TRANSPORT LTD. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 , the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2022 and 2021 , and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), Interpretation developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Account of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirement. Based on our audits and the report of another auditor, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of the investee which represented the investment accounted for using the equity method of the Group. Those statements were audited by another auditors, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amount is based solely on the
- 12 -
report of other auditors. The investment accounted for using the equity method constituting 3.11% and 3.08% of total assets at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The related shares of profit of associates accounted for using the equity method constituted 1.91% and 1.96% of total profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
CHINESE MARITIME TRANSPORT LTD. has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with Emphasis of the Matter and an unmodified opinion, respectively, for reference.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In our judgment, the key audit matters that should be communicated in the audit report are as follows:
Recognition of freight revenue–vessel chartering and container hauling
Please refer to Note(4)(o) for the accounting policy of “Revenue” and to Note (6) (q) for information details.
Description of key audit matters:
The main activities of the Group are bulk carrier operation through overseas subsidiaries, domestic container hauling and storage, and related business. Freight revenue vessel chartering and container hauling is one of the significant items in the consolidated financial statements, and the amounts and changes may affect the users’understanding on the entire financial statements. Therefore, the testing over freight revenue–vessel chartering and container hauling recognition is considered a key matter in our audits.
Audit Procedures:
Our principal audit procedures included: testing the related controls over the sale and receipts cycle, conducting the confirmation process used to examine the accounts receivable and revenue of major customers, executing substantive analytical procedures of freight revenue–vessel chartering, and assessing the contract liabilities, as well as evaluating whether the Group’s timing of revenue recognition is accurate in accordance with the related accounting standards.
- 13 -
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
14 -
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
- 15 -
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yiu-Kwan Au and Szu-Chuan Chien.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of CHINESE MARITIME TRANSPORT LTD.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of CHINESE MARITIME TRANSPORT LTD. (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Account of Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirement. Based on our audits and the report of another auditor, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of the investee which represented the investment in another entity accounted for using the equity method of the Company. Those statements were audited by another auditors, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amount is based solely on the report of other auditors. The investment accounted for using the equity method constituting 3.82% and 3.88% of total assets at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The related shares of profit of associates accounted for using the equity method constituting 2.03% and 2.04% of total profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In our judgment, the key audit matters that should be communicated in the audit report are as follows:
1. Recognition of freight revenue–container hauling
Please refer to Note 4(o) for the accounting policy of “Revenue” and to Note 6(n) “Revenue from contracts with customers” for information details.
Description of key audit matters:
The main activities of the Company are container hauling and related business. Freight revenue container hauling is one of the significant items in the financial statements, and the amounts and changes may affect the users’understanding on the entire financial statements. Therefore, the testing over freight revenue container hauling recognition is considered a key matter in our audits.
Audit Procedures:
Our principal audit procedures included testing related controls over sale and receipts cycle, executing the confirmation process used to examine accounts receivable and revenue of major customers, and evaluating if the Company’s timing of revenue recognition is accurate in accordance with related accounting standards.
- Freight revenue–vessel chartering, using equity method investment, subsidiary
Please refer to Note 4(h) for the accounting policy of “Investments in subsidiary”, and to Note 6(d) for “Investments accounted for using equity method”.
Description of key audit matters:
The main activity of some of the subsidiaries, accounted for using equity method investment, is operating bulk carrier. Freight revenue vessel chartering is one of the significant items in the financial statements, and the amounts and changes may affect the users’understanding on the entire financial statements. Therefore, the testing over freight revenue vessel chartering recognition is considered a key matter in our audits.
Audit procedures:
Our principal audit procedures included testing related controls over sale and receipts cycle of those subsidiaries, which are investments using equity method, executing substantive analytical procedures of freight revenue-vessel
- 22 -
chartering, assessing contract liabilities, and evaluating if the timing of revenue recognition for freight revenue, vessel chartering, is accurate in accordance with related accounting standards.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
23 -
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding investment subsidiary using equity method to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
- 24 -
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yiu-Kwan Au and Szu-Chuan Chien.
