Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors Chinese Maritime Transport Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chinese Maritime Transport Ltd. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. $_{\rm Our}$ responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of long-term investments accounted for under the equity method were audited by other auditors, whose reports were furnished to us. The long-term equity investments in the consolidated financial statements accounted for using the equity method amounting to NT\$2,169,793,000, and NT\$2,718,312,000, constituted 10.14% and 12.40% of the total assets as of December 31, 2014, and 2013, respectively. The related investment loss amounted to NT\$49,727,000 and NT\$853,000, constituting $(12.53%)$ and $(0.20%)$ of the income before tax, respectively, for the years then ended.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards and the "Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Consolidated financial statements by Certified Public Accountants" in the Republic of China. Those standards and regulation require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the aforementioned reports of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chinese Maritime Transport Ltd. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014, and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and SIC Interpretations endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission R.O.C.

(c) Basis of consolidation
1. Principle of preparation of the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Changes in the Group's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(d) Foreign currencies
1. Foreign currency transaction
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between the amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year adjusted for the effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of translation.
Foreign currency differences arising from retranslation are recognized in profit or loss, except for the available-for-sale equity instruments which are recognized in other comprehensive income.
2. Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the Group's functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to the Group's functional currency at average rate. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (translation reserve) in equity.
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Group disposes of only part of investment in an associate of joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planed nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign currency gains and losses arising from such items are considered to form part of a net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(e) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
An entity shall classify an asset as current when:
-
- It expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle;
-
- It holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
- It expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
- The asset is cash and cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
An entity shall classify a liability as current when:
-
- It expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle;
-
- It holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
- The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
- It does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
An entity shall classify all other liabilities as non-current.
(f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value.
The time deposits conform with above definition are used for the purpose of meeting short-term commitments, and therefore are reclassified as cash equivalents.
(g) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Financial assets
The Group classifies financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturities financial assets, loans and receivables, and availablefor-sale financial assets.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset is classified in this category if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial assets are classified as held-fortrading if they are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. The Group designates financial assets, other than ones classified as held-for-trading, as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition under one of the following situations:
- A. Designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise;
- B. Performance of the financial asset is evaluated on a fair value basis
- C. A hybrid instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives.
Financial assets in this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, which take into account any dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or loss, and are included in non-operating income and expenses. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized as applicable using trade-date accounting.
Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted price in an active market and whose fair values cannot be reliably measured, are measured at their cost, less, impairment loss, and are included in financial assets at cost.
(ii) Available-for sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified in any of the other categories of financial assets. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus, any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, and changes therein, other than impairment losses, dividend income, and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale debt instruments, are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss, and is included in non-operating income and expenses. A regular way purchase
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using tradedate accounting.
Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are measured at amortized cost, and are included in financial assets measured at cost.
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date that the Company's right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the exdividend date. Such dividend income is included in non-operating income and expenses.
(iii) Held-to-maturity financial assets
If the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold debt securities to maturity, such financial assets are classified as held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less, any impairment losses. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade-date accounting
Interest income is included in non-operation income and expense.
(iv) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables comprise trade receivables, other receivables, and refundable deposits. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less, any impairment losses other than insignificant interest on short-term receivables. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized as applicable using trade-date accounting.
Interest income is recognized in profit or loss, and it is included in non-operating income and expenses.
(v) Impairment of financial assets
A financial asset is impaired if, and only if, there is an objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be estimated reliably.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes default or delinguency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults, or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is accounted for as objective evidence of impairment.
All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries, and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management's judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or lesser than those suggested by historical trends.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss is not reversible in subsequent periods.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is deducted from the carrying amount, except for trade receivables, for which an impairment loss is reflected in an allowance account against the receivables. When it is determined a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off from the allowance account. Any subsequent recovery of receivable written off is recorded in the allowance account. Changes in the amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.
Impairment loss on available-for-sale financial assets are recognized by reclassifying the loss accumulated in the fair value reserve in equity to profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss of a financial asset measured at amortized cost decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost before impairment was recognized at the reversal date.
Impairment losses recognized on an available-for-sale equity security are not reversed through profit or loss. Any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired availablefor-sale equity security is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Impairment losses and recoveries are recognized in profit or loss. Recovery and loss on doubtful debts of account receivables is included in operating expense, others are included in non-operating income and expense.
(vi) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes financial assets when the contractual rights of the cash inflow from the asset are terminated, or when the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in other equity - unrealized gains or losses from available-for-sale financial assets is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in non-operating income or expenses.
The Group separates the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized based on the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized and the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income shall be recognized in profit or loss, and shall be included in non-operating income or expenses. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized based on the relative fair values of those parts.
-
- Financial liabilities and equity instruments
- (i) Classification of debt or equity
Debt or equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement.
Equity instruments refer to surplus equities of the assets after the deduction of all the debts for any contracts. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less, the direct cost of issuing.
(ii) Other financial liabilities
Financial liabilities not classified as held-for-trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which comprise loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables, are measured at fair value, plus, any directly attributable transaction cost at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method other than insignificant interest on short-
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
term loans and payables. Interest expense not capitalized as capital cost is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in non-operating income or expense.
(iii) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation has been discharged or cancelled, or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability removed and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in nonoperating income or expenses.
(iv) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
The Group presents financial assets and liabilities on a net basis when the Group has the legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(h) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale or distribution rather than through continuing use are reclassified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners. Immediately before classifying them as held for sale or held for distribution to owners, the assets or components of a disposal group are remeasured in accordance with the Group accounting policies. Thereafter, generally the assets or disposal group are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Any impairment loss on a disposal group will first be allocated to goodwill, and then the remaining assets and liabilities will be apportioned on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to assets not in the scope of IAS 36 - Impairments, such assets will continue to be measured in accordance with the Group accounting policies.
Impairment losses on assets initially classified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners and any subsequent gains or losses on re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss. Gains are not recognized in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.
When the assets classified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners are intangible assets or property, plant and equipment, they are no longer amortized or depreciated, and any equityaccounted investee is no longer equity accounted.
(i) Investment in associates
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity.
13
CHINESE MARITIME TRANSPORT LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition, less, any accumulated impairment losses.
The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity-accounted investees after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.
Unrealized profits resulting from the transactions between the Group and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group s interest in the associate. Unrealized losses on transactions with associates are eliminated in the same way, except to the extent that the underlying asset is impaired.
When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in associates, the carrying amount of the investment, including any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
(i) Investment property
Investment property is the property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently. The depreciation is computed along with the depreciable amount. The method, the useful life and the residual amount are the same with those of property, plant and equipment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property.
When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.
- (k) Property, plant and equipment
-
- Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less, accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributed to the acquisition of the asset. Cost also includes foreign currency purchases of property, plant and The cost of the software is capitalized as part of the property, plant and equipment. equipment if the purchase of the software is necessary for the property, plant and equipment to be capable of operating.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately, unless the useful life and the depreciation method of a significant part of an item of property, plant and equipment are the same as the useful life and depreciation method of another significant part of that same item.
The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item, and it shall be recognized as non-operating income and expense.
- Reclassification to investment property
The property is reclassified to investment property at its carrying amount when the use of the property changes from internal use to investment use.
- Subsequent cost
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
- Depreciation
The depreciable amount of an asset is determined after deducting its residual amount, and it shall be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. Items of property, plant and equipment with the same useful life may be grouped in determining the depreciation charge. The remainder of the items may be depreciated separately. The depreciation charge for each period shall be recognized in profit or loss.
The depreciable amount of a leased asset is allocated to each accounting period during the period of expected use on a systematic basis consistent with the depreciation policy the lessee adopts for depreciable assets that are owned. If there is reasonably certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the period of expected use is the useful life of the asset; otherwise, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.
Land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(i) Buildings: $17 \sim 55$ years
(ii) Building improvements: $3 \sim 15$ years.
(iii) Container transportation equipment: $4 \sim 7$ years
$(iv)$ Shipping transportation equipment: $2 \sim 20$ years
(v) Container terminal facility: 4~60 years
(vi) Furniture, fixtures and other equipments: $3 \sim 12$ years
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If expectations differ from the previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.
(l) Lease
- The Group as lessor
Lease income from an operating lease is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into the operating lease are spread over the lease term on a straight-line basis so that the lease income received is reduced accordingly.
- The Group as lessee
Operating leases are not recognized in the Group's balance sheet.
Payments made under operating lease (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense on a straight-line basis, over the term of the lease.
(m) Intangible assets
- Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
2. Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
3. Amortization
The amortizable amount is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.
The intangible asset that the Group possesses is software. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives of computer software is 3 years.
The residual value, amortization period, and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be reviewed at least annually at each fiscal year-end. Any change shall be accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.
(n) Impairment - non-derivative financial assets
Non-derivative financial assets except for inventories, deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits and non-current assets held for sale are assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group shall estimate the recoverable amount of the asset. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount (fair value less cost to sell and value in use) for the individual asset, then the Group will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset's cashgenerating unit.
The recoverable amount for an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value, less, costs to sell and its value in use. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss. An impairment loss shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill shall be reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset shall be increased to its recoverable amount. That increase is a reversal of an impairment loss.

CHINESE MARITIME TRANSPORT LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(o) Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.
(p) Revenue
-
- Freight revenue is recognized after providing transportation service. The rental income of vessels is recognized in accordance with the rental contract. Warehouse storage charges and terminal handling fees are recognized after service is provided. Operating cost is recognized as incurred.
-
- Rental income from investment property is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into an operating lease are considered as part of rental income which is spread over the lease term on a straight-line basis so that the rental income received are recognized periodically.
- (q) Employee benefits
-
- Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.
- Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any unrecognized past service costs, the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group's obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the total of any unrecognized past service costs and the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Group. An economic benefit is available to the Group if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.
When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits vest immediately, the expense is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
All actuarial gains and losses at January 1, 2012, the date of transition to IFRS endorsed by the FSC, were recognized in retained earnings. The Group recognizes all actuarial gains and losses arising subsequently from defined benefit plans in other comprehensive income and expenses related to defined benefit plans in personnel expenses in profit or loss.
The Group recognizes gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets, change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation and any related actuarial gains or losses and past service cost that had not previously been recognized.
- Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Group is demonstrably committed, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognized as an expense if the Group has made an offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting period, then they are discounted to their present value.
- Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(r) Income taxes
Income tax expenses include both current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes shall be recognized in profit or loss.
Current taxes include tax payables and tax deduction receivables on taxable gains (losses) for the year calculated using the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the actual legislative tax rate, as well as tax adjustments related to prior years.
Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes shall not be recognized for the following exceptions:
-
- Assets and liabilities that are initially recognized but are not related to the business combination and have no effect on net income or taxable gains (losses) during the transaction.
-
- Temporary differences arising from equity investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures where there is a high probability that such temporary differences will not reverse.
-
- Initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities shall be measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities may be offset against each other if the following criteria are met:
-
- The entity has the legal right to settle tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; and
-
- the taxing of deferred tax assets and liabilities fulfill one of the below scenarios:
- i) levied by the same taxing authority; or
- ii) levied by different taxing authorities, but where each such authority intends to settle tax assets and liabilities (where such amounts are significant) on a net basis every year of the period of expected asset realization or debt liquidation, or where the timing of asset realization and debt liquidation is matched.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
A deferred tax asset should be recognized for the carry-forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences shall also be re-evaluated every year on the financial reporting date, and they shall be adjusted based on the probability that future taxable profit that will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
The 10% surtax on unappropriated earnings is recorded as current tax expense in the following year after the resolution to appropriate retain earnings is approved in the stockholder's meeting.
(s) Earnings per share
The Group discloses the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit shares outstanding. attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Dilutive potential ordinary shares comprise employee stock options and employee bonuses not yet resolved by the shareholders.
(t) Operating segments
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may incur revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.
(5) Major sources of significant accounting assumptions, judgments, and estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the parent company only financial reports in conformity with the Guidehines Governing the preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Management continued to monitor the accounting assumptions, estimates and judgments. Management recognized the changes in the accounting estimates during the period and the impact of the changes in the accounting estimates in the next period.

3. Retained Earning
According to the Company's articles, 10% of annual net income (less, payment of corporate income tax and losses of prior years, if any) shall be appropriated as legal reserve, and when there is a reduction in stockholders' equity at the end of the year, the Company should appropriate the same amount as special reserve from retained earnings. The remaining balance, if any, should be distributed as follows:
- $-0.5\% \sim 2\%$ as employees' bonuses.
- Remuneration to directors and supervisors not exceeding 2%.
- The remainder and the accumulated unappropriated earnings of prior years are distributable as dividends to stockholders. The distribution rate is based on the proposal of the Company's board of directors and should be approved in the stockholders' meeting.
Dividends are paid in cash or stock from retained earnings, and the amount of cash dividends should not be less than 10% of total dividends. However, if the cash dividend per share is less than \$0.1 (New Taiwan dollar), a stock dividend will be paid instead.
(i) Legal reserve
Following the amendment of the ROC Company Act announced on January 4, 2012, the Company must retain 10% of its after tax annual earnings as legal reserve until such retention equals the amount of total capital. Upon a resolution of the shareholders' meeting, when the Company has no accumulated deficits on the books, the legal reserve can be converted to share capital or distributed as cash dividends, and only the portion of legal reserve that exceeds 25% of issued share capital may be distributed.
(ii) Special reserve
FBy choosing to apply the exemptions granted under IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards during the Company's first-time adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission (IFRSs), unrealized revaluation gains recognized under shareholders' equity. The increase in retained earnings occurring before the adoption date, due to the first- $\overline{1}$ time adoption of IFRSs in accordance with Ruling No. 1010012865 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on 6 April 2012, shall be reclassified as a special earnings reserve during earnings distribution. The carrying amount of special earnings reserve amounted to \$359,487 on December 31, 2014.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
In accordance with the guidelines of the above Ruling, a portion of current-period earnings and undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as a special earnings reserve during earnings distribution. The amount to be reclassified should be equal to the difference between the total net current-period reduction of other shareholders' equity resulting from the first-time adoption of IFRSs and the carrying amount of special earnings reserve as stated above. Similarly, a portion of undistributed prior period earnings shall be reclassified as a special earnings reserve (which does not qualify for earnings distribution) to account for cumulative changes to other shareholders' equity pertaining to prior periods due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs. Amounts of subsequent reversals pertaining to the net reduction of other shareholders' equity shall qualify for additional distributions.
(iii) Earnings distribution
According to the ROC Company Act and the Company's articles of incorporation, the Company estimates the amount of employee bonuses and directors' and supervisors' remuneration for 2014 and 2013. The employee bonuses and directors' and supervisors' remuneration were recognized on a percentage of net income after deducting the legal reserve for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company recognized employee bonuses and directors' and supervisors' remuneration of \$10,392 and \$11,544 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The equivalent number of shares distributed for stock dividends is determined based on the closing price of the day before the shareholders' meeting and considering the ex-rights and ex-dividend effects.
Differences between the amounts approved in the shareholders' meeting and those recognized in the consolidated financial statements, if any, are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates and recognized as profit or loss in the following year.
Based on the resolutions of the annual stockholders' meetings held on June 16, 2014 and June 24, 2013, the appropriations of cash dividends were \$1.5 (New Taiwan dollars) and 1 (New Taiwan dollars) per share, amounting to \$384,711 and 256,473, respectively. Furthermore, the earning distribution to employees directors and supervisors for the fiscal vears 2013 and 2012 were as follows:
| 2013 | 2012 | |
|---|---|---|
| Employee bonuses – cash Directors' and supervisors' remuneration |
5.772 5.772 |
1.504 .504 |
| 11.544 | 3.008 |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
There was no difference between the actual distribution and the estimation in the 2013 and 2012 consolidated financial statements. The related information about the distribution of employee bonuses, dividends, and directors' and supervisors' remuneration appropriated from the distributable retained earnings of 2014 approved in the shareholders' meeting can be accessed from the Market Observation Post System after the holding of the meeting. Differences between the amount approved in the shareholders' meeting and those recognized in the consolidated financial statements, if any, are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates and are recognized in profit or loss in 2015.

Allowances for uncollectible accounts are used to record loss on doubtful accounts. When it is determined a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off from the allowance account. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no recoveries of impairment on account receivable.

$\mathcal{L}^{\text{max}}{\text{max}}$ and $\mathcal{L}^{\text{max}}{\text{max}}$
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the risk exposure to interest rate on the derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding the liabilities with variable interest rates, the analysis is on the basis of the assumption that the amount of liabilities outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.25% when reporting to management internally, which also represents management of the Group's assessment on the reasonably possible interval of interest rate change.
If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 0.25%, the net profit before tax would have decrease or increased by \$13,683 and \$11,805 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which would be mainly resulted from the bank savings with variable interest rates.

- Fair value
- (i) Fair value and carrying amount
Except as detailed in the following table, the management of the Group believes that the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities in the financial statement measured at amortized cost to be a reasonable approximation of fair value.

(ii) Fair value hierarchy
The table below analyzes financial instruments carried at fair value by the levels in the fair value hierarchy. The different levels have been defined as follows:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

(iii) Valuation techniques and assumptions used in fair value determination
The Group uses the following methods in determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities:
- A. The fair value of listed shares and bonds is based on the financial assets traded in active markets. The fair value is determined based on the quoted market prices.
- B. The bonds and other financial assets without an active market are estimated by using the financial instruments as reference.
(q) Financial risk management
- Briefings
The Group is exposed to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
$\ddot{\phantom{0}}$
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- (i) Credit risk
- (ii) Liquidity risk
- (iii) Market risk
In this note expressed the information on risk exposure and objectives, policies and process of risk measurement and management. For detailed information, please refer to the related notes of each risk.
- Structure of risk management
The Group's finance department provides business services for the overall internal department. It sets the objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk and the methods used to measure the risk arising from both the domestic and international financial market operations.
The Group minimizes the risk exposure through financial instruments. The Board of Directors regulated the use of financial instruments in accordance with the Group's policy about risks arising from financial instruments, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of non-derivative financial instruments, and the investments of excess liquidity. The internal auditors of the Group continue with the review of the amount of the risk exposure in accordance with the Group's policy and the risk management policies and procedures. The Group has no transactions in financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments) for the purpose of speculation.
- Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers and investment securities.
(i) Accounting receivable and other receivables
The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Group's customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk.
The Group has established a credit policy. Credit limits are established for each customer. Customers that fail to meet the Group's benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group only on a prepayment basis.

CHINESE MARITIME TRANSPORT LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Group set the allowance for bad debt account to reflect the estimated losses for trade, other receivables, and investment. The allowance for bad debt account consists of specific losses relating to individually significant exposure and the unrecognized losses arising from similar assets groups. The allowance for bad debt account is based on historical collection record of similar financial assets.
(ii) Investment
The credit risk exposure in the bank deposits, fixed income investments and other financial instruments are measured and monitored by the Group's management. Since the Group's transaction counterparties and contractually obligated counterparties are banks, financial institutes and corporate organizations with good credits, there are no compliance issues, and therefore no significant credit risk.
(iii) Guarantees
The Group is only permissible to provide financial guarantees to subsidiaries.
- Liquidity risk
The Group manages sufficient cash and cash equivalents so as to cope with its operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The Group's management supervises the banking facilities and ensures in compliance with the terms of the loan agreements.
The loans and borrowings from the bank form an important source of liquidity for the Group. Please refer to note 6(h) for unused short-term bank facilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
- Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
(i) Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on revenue and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group's entities, primarily the New Taiwan Dollars (TWD). The Group uses natural hedging strategy in exposing the current and future currency risk that arises from cash flows of foreign currency asset and liability. Foreign currency gains (losses) from assets and liabilities are subsequently offset by foreign currency losses (gains) to hedge the foreign currency risk.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Group borrows funds on interest rate, which has risk exposure to cash flow. The bonds payable are fixed-interest-rate debts. Changes in market interest rates lower the effect on future cash flow.
(iii) Other market price risk
The Group is exposed to equity price risk due to the investments in non-listing equity securities, corporate banks, listing equity securities that measure the fair value of the publicly quoted price, and quoted open-ended fund at fair value.
(r) Capital management
The Group maintains the capital based on the current operating characteristics of the industry, future development, and changes in external environment, to assure there is financial resource and operating plan to support working capital, capital expenditures, and debt redemption and dividend payment and so on. The management decides the optimized capital by using appropriate debt-toasset ratio. To maintain a strong capital base, the Group enhances the return on equity by optimizing debt-to-assets ratio. As of December 31, 2013, and December 31 and January 1, 2012, the Company's debt-to-assets ratio at the end of the reporting date was as follows:
| 2014 | December 31, December 31, 2013 |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Total liabilities | 10,654.094 | 11,959,820 | |
| Total assets | 21,381,641 | 22,083,750 | |
| Debt-to-asset ratio | 50% | 54% |
There were no changes in the Group's approach to capital management during the years.

(13) Segment information
The Group's reportable segments consist of the Land Transportation Segment, the Logistics Segment and the Sea Transportation Segment. The land transportation segment and the logistics segment engage in the container transportation business, warehousing business, and freight agent business. And the sea transportation segment engages in the bulk carrier business. The Group's reportable segments are the strategic business units that provide different kinds of transportation services. Each strategic business unit requires different services and marketing strategies, thus, should be managed separately.
The amounts of the Company's reportable segments are the same as those in the report used by the chief operating decision maker. The accounting policies for the operating segments are the same as those in Note 2, which describe significant accounting policies. The Company's operating segments' income before tax was the foundation for the chief operating decision maker to evaluate performance. There was no transfer of revenue between segments.
