Annex 1:2021 Business Report

2021 Business Report

Dear Shareholders,

Thank you for attending the year's regular shareholders meeting of the company during the busy schedule. I would like to report to you about the company's business results for 2021 and a summary of the business plan for 2022.

1. The status of the global shipbuilding industry in 2020

Since the unprecedented "new coronavirus" (COVID-19) epidemic hitting globally in 2020, border control and city lockdown policies implement in most countries, and bring great effect on global transportation and trade volume. From 2021, vaccine comes out successfully and widely accepted in the globe, COVID-19 epidemic is gradually under control. The global economic recovery is getting better; however, high infectivity variant of Delta and Omicron attack the world and brings mass infections again. That leads global inflation worse, economic growth is hampered.

Although the international economic condition looks not good, stay-at-home economy rise and seriously port congestion make sea freight risen sharply. Taking advantage of high freight rates, the world's major shipping companies began to invest in new ships, which also increased the construction volume and price of new ships.

According to Clarksons research, In 2021, the global new shipbuilding price index will reach 150 points once again, the highest point in the past 10 years. The accumulated new ship orders in 2021 are more than 1,670 ships, exceeding 119.8 million deadweight tons, a significant increase of 77% compared with 2020. Most orders are placed to China, South Korea and Japan. However, due to the increased material costs in global, that also leads a decrease in shipbuilding profits, and there are still a large number of hand-held orders to be completed in 2021. A moderate decline in the new shipbuilding market is predictable in the future and has to handle very carefully.

  1. Operating Performance in 2021

(1) Consolidated financial results.

Unit: Thousand NT\$
Compared with
Item 2021 2020 2019(%)
Operating income 19,113,429 25,296,629 -24.44%
Gross Profit (loss) 555,219 -1,409,474 139.39%
Operating profit -2,914 -1,907,395 99.85%
Pre-Tax Income 10,315 -1,598,750 100.65%
Net profit (loss) 9,553 -1,600,087 100.60%

The operating income of the company in 2021 was NT\$19.113 billion, and the gross operating profit was 0.555 billion. The net profit for the current period was 9.553 million, which was a decrease of 1.61 billion in loss compared to 2020. After years of hard work, it finally turned a profit.

(2) Orders in hand

  1. New ship and marine engineering orders

As of the end of December 2021, there are 2 merchant ships (2 in Kaohsiung) and 23 warships and official ships (10 in Kaohsiung and 13 in Keelung) in hand. The delivery schedule of Kaohsiung shipyard orders are by November 2025, and the Keelung shipyard by October 2027.

  1. Completion and delivery

In 2021, 5 merchant ships were completed and delivered at the Kaohsiung shipyard (1 ship of 65,000dwt Semi-Submersible Deck Cargo/Heavy lift Carrier, 4 ships of 2,800TEU container vessel). And for official ship, 1 ship of 4,000-ton frigates were completed and delivered at the Kaohsiung shipyard and 5 ships of 100-ton patrol rescue boats were completed and delivered at the Keelung shipyard. Besides, 60 Pin Pile of Offshore Wind Turbine were completed and delivered at the Kaohsiung shipyard.

(3) Research and development status

Expenditures of R&D in 2021 are about NT\$124 million, which is about NT\$94 million increased than the NT\$30 million in 2020. Research and development results include the basic design and development of new ships, independent development and verification of end plate propeller program, the integration technology and application of smart factories, research on technology and integration of ship monitoring system, SYSWELD weld bead simulation study, the analysis and improvement of ship power harmonics, integrated smart development plan for ship stabilizing wing system, underwater structural penetrations metal column and materials research and development plan, and 15MW semi-submersible floating wind system for Taiwan offshore wind farm, etc. 13 researches and development projects in total.

The new research and development direction in 2022 mainly includes the basic design and development of new ships, research on technology and integration of ship monitoring system, the integration technology and application of smart factories, research on ship power harmonic analysis and improvement, developing a high efficiency method for evaluation of ship fuel consumption in real sea conditions, integrated smart development plan for ship stabilizing wing system, underwater structural penetrations metal column and materials research and development plan, and semi-submersible floating wind system for Taiwan offshore wind farm, etc. Actively move towards improving the technical capabilities of smart ships, defense ships and marine engineering as the main development direction.

(4) Major investment

The projects in the implementation of the 2021 fixed assets project investment plan include the "Kaohsiung shipyard Multi-purpose Steel Structure Production Line Project Investment Plan", the "Transition Piece (TP) Production Line Project Investment Plan", the "Investment Plan for the Important Equipment Factory of the National Ship", the "A batch of self-built container ships", and the "Purchase a large anchor tugboat"; Projects under planning include the "Investment Plan for the Kaohsiung Plant's 350-ton GOC Crane Replacement Project".

3. Business Plan for 2022

In 2021, the world is still affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, and the Delta and Omicron variants became more powerful. As of December 2021, the number of people infected with COVID-19 in the world has exceeded 300 million, and Taiwan is also suffered. In order to control the epidemic, most countries have adopted large-scale country lockdown and embargoes, which caused an instantaneous frozen of global freight and human transportation demand. That severely affected the global economy. The company also inevitably affected by the COVID-19. In addition, it is difficult for foreign ships to come to the company for maintenance, and important foreign equipment, original factory service engineers, and technical assistance personnel couldn't arrive at the factory on scheduled, and the production schedule has been severely disrupted.

Based on this, the company is actively transforming and moving towards diversified operations, striving to get rid of operational difficulties. Finally, the net profit for the current period was 9.553 million in 2021. After years of hard work, it is achieving the goal of turning a loss into a profit.

With the changes in economic activities and consumption habits, coupled with the strict implementation of environmental regulations by the International Maritime Organization(IMO), shipping companies will accelerate the elimination of old ships and builds new ships, which will help the company to win orders for commercial ships. In addition, it will also simultaneously promote the other major businesses of "National Shipbuilding" and "Offshore Wind Power" to help the company's operation and development.

Looking forward to 2022, the company's operations will develop towards three major businesses, with high-quality internal transformation and consolidation of operations as strategic goals to ensure stable profits.

Best wishes for everyone.

Good health and good luck!

Annex 3

CSBC CORPORATION, TAIWAN PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors' report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors' report and financial statements shall prevail.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR21000365

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of CSBC CORPORATION, TAIWAN

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of CSBC CORPORATION, TAIWAN (the "Company") as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only 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 generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Company's 2021 parent company only financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company's 2021 parent company only financial statements are stated as follows:

Accounting estimates and assumptions for total cost of construction contracts

Description

Please refer to Note 4(30) for a description of the accounting policy on construction contracts. Please refer to Note 5 for critical accounting estimates and assumptions for total cost of construction contracts.

The Company is engaged in the business of designing and building of various ships and cruisers. Assumptions for estimated construction cost include cost for equipment, material, labor and etc. Data used for assumptions involves subjective judgement and accounting estimates and are highly uncertain. As a result, assumptions used are material to the total construction cost and further affects the calculation of construction profit.

As the data used for assumptions involves subjective judgement and accounting estimates are highly uncertain, this may affect the completeness and relevant assertions. Considering that the estimated total cost of construction contracts is material to the financial statements, therefore, we assessed that these accounting estimates and assumptions as one of the key audit matters for this year.

How our audit addressed the matter

The scope of our audit responded to the risk as follows:

    1. Assessing the effectiveness of CSBC Company's internal control regarding the estimation process of total cost of construction contract. This includes:
  • (1) Whether the data used by management for estimates and assumptions is complete, relevant and accurate.
  • (2) Whether accounting estimates and assumptions have been reviewed and approved by proper management level.
  • (3) Whether the segregation of duties is appropriate.
    1. Obtaining the Estimate at Completion Reports, selecting sample reports and verifying the accuracy, completeness and relevance of the data that was used for assumptions and estimations. Checking whether the use of estimates and assumptions in the Estimate at Completion Reports are appropriate.
    1. Comparing cost at completion for the same or similar ships and then assessing the reasonableness of the Estimate at Completion Report.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements

Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' 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 generally accepted auditing standards in 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 parent company only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only 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.

    1. 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.
    1. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
    1. 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 parent company only 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.
    1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
    1. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only 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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only 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.

WEN-LON CHENG

March 4, 2022

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR21000439

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of CSBC CORPORATION, TAIWAN

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CSBC CORPORATION, TAIWAN and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards in 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 Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Group's 2021 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Group's 2021 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:

Accounting estimates and assumptions for total cost of construction contracts

Description

Please refer to Note 4(31) for a description of the accounting policy on construction contracts. Please refer to Note 5 for critical accounting estimates and assumptions for total cost of construction contracts.

The Group is engaged in the business of designing and building of various ships and cruisers. Assumptions for estimated construction cost include cost for equipment, material, labor and etc. Data used for assumptions involves subjective judgement and accounting estimates and are highly uncertain. As a result, assumptions used are material to the total construction cost and further affects the calculation of construction profit.

As the data used for assumptions involves subjective judgement and accounting estimates are highly uncertain, this may affect the completeness and relevant assertions. Considering that the estimated total cost of construction contracts is material to the financial statements, therefore, we assessed that these accounting estimates and assumptions as one of the key audit matters for this year.

How our audit addressed the matter

The scope of our audit responded to the risk as follows:

  • Assessing the effectiveness of CSBC Group's internal control regarding the estimation process of 1. total cost of construction contract. This includes:
  • (1) Whether the data used by management for estimates and assumptions is complete, relevant and accurate.
  • (2) Whether accounting estimates and assumptions have been reviewed and approved by proper management level.
  • (3) Whether the segregation of duties is appropriate.
  • $2.$ Obtaining the Estimate at Completion Reports, selecting sample reports and verifying the accuracy, completeness and relevance of the data that was used for assumptions and estimations. Checking whether the use of estimates and assumptions in the Estimate at Completion Reports are appropriate.
  • $3.$ Comparing cost at completion for the same or similar ships and then assessing the reasonableness of the Estimate at Completion Report.

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of CSBC CORPORATION TAIWAN, as at and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management of the Group 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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.

Auditors' 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 auditors' 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 generally accepted auditing standards in 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 generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, $1.$ 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.
  • $2.$ 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.
    1. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
    1. 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 auditors' 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 auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
    1. 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.
    1. 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 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.

$-37-$

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.

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 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.

(1) Statistical data of this respirator fitness test are summarized
as below: 927 people participated in the test; 774 people
passed the test; 153 people failed the test. The passing rate is
about 83%, the failure rate is 17%.

(3) The failure rate of 3M-9001 reached 30 percent, so it is
suggested that this type of mask be used in workplace with
fewer pollutants or hazards. Good fitness of respirator means
the respirator can closely fit with the user's face to reach
better protection. The fitness of a makes is closely related to
the contour of an individual.
(4) The failure rate reached 17% in this test. A total of 153
people could not have intact protective effect with the
respirators. The main causes are: 1. the old masks are
contaminated or the strings are not flexible, which eliminates
the fitness level; 2. the use did not wear the mask correctly;
3. the mask can't fit with the user's face contour.
