Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and Independent Auditors’ Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders China Steel Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Steel Corporation (the “Corporation”) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and their consolidated financial performance and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 2013 version of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations of IFRS and Interpretations of IAS endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”) of the Republic of China.

As discussed in Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, starting from January 1, 2015, the Corporation and its subsidiaries applied the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 2013 version of the IFRS, IAS, Interpretations of IFRS, and Interpretations of IAS endorsed by the FSC. Therefore, some items in the consolidated financial statements of prior reporting periods were adjusted to reflect the effects of retrospective application of the above regulations, standards and interpretations.

We have also audited the standalone financial statements of China Steel Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 on which we have issued a modified unqualified report.

March 25, 2016

Notice to Readers

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the consolidated financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to review such consolidated financial statements are those generally applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the independent auditors’ report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language independent auditors’ report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail. As stated in Note 4 to consolidated financial statements, the additional footnote disclosures that are not required under generally accepted accounting principles were not translated into English.

Independent Auditors’ Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders China Steel Corporation

We have audited the accompanying standalone balance sheets of China Steel Corporation (the “Corporation”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related standalone statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the standalone financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall standalone financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the standalone financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the standalone financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and its standalone financial performance and its standalone cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers in the Republic of China.

As discussed in Note 3 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, starting from January 1, 2015, the Corporation applied the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 2013 version of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations of IFRS, and Interpretations of IAS endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”). Therefore, some items in the standalone financial statements of prior reporting periods were adjusted to reflect the effects of retrospective application of the above regulations, standards and interpretations.

March 25, 2016

Notice to Readers

The accompanying standalone financial statements are intended only to present the standalone financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such standalone financial statements are those generally applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the independent auditors’ report and the accompanying standalone financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language independent auditors’ report and standalone financial statements shall prevail. As stated in Note 4 to standalone financial statements, the additional footnote disclosures that are not required under generally accepted accounting principles were not translated into English.
