FORMOSA SUMCO TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION 2015Business Report

I. 2015 Annual Business Report

The consolidated operating revenue of our company in 2015 was US$323,900,453 (a decrease of 6% from US$344,256,135 in 2014), achieving 94% of the target revenue US$344,594,492. The consolidated profit before tax of our company in 2015 was US$47,393,976 (an increase of 19% (US$7,693,853) from US$39,700,122 in 2014), achieving 94% of the target profit US$50,431,159, with a shortfall of only US$3,037,183.

Put in a boarder context, although the global semiconductor market exhibited a certain degree of prosperity in the first three quarters of 2015, the entire industry faced a drastic economic downturn, stagnant end-product sales, and customer inventory adjustments after the end of the third quarter in 2015. In response to these new challenges, our company has adopted several countermeasures to ensure sufficient end-product sales. Despite our best efforts, annual 8-inch silicon wafer sales dropped 10% from 2014, while annual 12-inch silicon wafer sales dropped 2% from 2014. Nevertheless, by implementing several cost-reducing strategies and reducing our raw material costs, our company has significantly lowered overall costs. In summary, despite the fact that our company’s consolidated operating revenue is US$20,376,499 less than that achieved in 2014, our company’s consolidated profit before tax is US$7,693,853 more than that achieved in 2014.

12

Despite the growing pretax profit, our company continues to face an external environment full of threats and challenges. Therefore, the company must be constantly vigilant and guard against external threats to ensure a sustainable business operation. By upholding the founding philosophy of diligence and frugality, our company is dedicated to promoting equipment automation, technological advancements, process enhancement, and quality improvement in order to increase overall production capacity while reducing operating costs. As we receive stricter demands from our customers, we will respond by providing them with the best products with a proactive attitude. We hope to become a supplier that our customers can trust and rely on.

With regard to environmental protection, our company has always put equal emphasis on industrial development and environmental protection. Since our establishment, we have made constant improvements to overall pollution control, such as adopting the best manufacturing process technologies, installing the most advanced pollution control systems, and enacting the most demanding pollution control policies. Despite the fact that all our pollutant treatments are well above the national control standards, environmental standards are quickly developing due to the rising environmental awareness these days. In response to higher environmental standards, our company will continue to further improve our manufacturing processes and environmental protection efforts in order to reach our ultimate goal of “zero pollution”.

The silicon wafer production and marketing status of our company

in 2015 is summarized below:

  1. Silicon Wafer Production and Marketin Status: g
Product Production Volume Sales Volume

The total sales amount of our company in 2015 was US$323,780,490, with domestic sales accounting for 93% (US$299,839,330) and foreign sales accounting for the remaining 7% (US$23,941,159) of the entire sales amount.

  1. Operating Status: The consolidated operating revenue of our company in 2015 was $323,396,093, which is US$20,323,985 less than the consolidated operating revenue of our company in 2014, which was US$343,720,078. After deducting the consolidated operating cost of US$265,588,042 and the consolidated management cost of US$11,824,023 from the consolidated operating revenue, the consolidated operating profit becomes US$45,984,027. By adding the non-operating revenue of US$1,855,105 to and deducting the non-operating expenditure of US$518,955 from the consolidated operating profit, the consolidated pretax profit of our company in 2015 becomes US$47,320,176.

II.2016 Business Plan Overview, Future Corporate Development

Strategies, and Impacts Generated from the External Competitive Environment, Legislative Environment, and Overall Business Environment

14

Because of stagnant semiconductor market growth, the economic prospects for the semiconductor industry is not promising for 2016. Faced with continual inventory adjustments in the first six months in addition to falling DARM prices, a harsh external environment, and a shrinking semiconductor manufacturing process, the entire silicon wafer industry is expected to meet stricter silicon wafer demands from its customers. In order to provide our customers with the best products, our company will continue to be devoted to putting the following activities into real practice. By implementing these strategies, we hope to secure our share of revenue and profit in the ever-changing semiconductor market. Above all, we look forward to improving our competitiveness, in order to achieve high business performance.

  1. Continue to improve the semiconductor manufacturing process and implement TPM (total production maintenance) activities. By jointly carrying out stabilized production, quality control measures, and manufacturing equipment management, production site quality can be further improved so that we can provide our customers with the best products on the premise of “stabilized production” and “best quality”.

  2. Faced with stricter customer demands, we must ensure that future technologies are developed while making constant improvements to our production site.

  3. Continue to ensure and improve customer satisfaction, reach a larger demographic, increase the frequency of visits, assign technicians to provide additional technical services, and sign long term contracts with important customers; by doing so, we can expand our sales to secure our leading market position in the domestic semiconductor market. In addition to expanding sales in such foreign countries as mainland

15

China, we must seek new client bases to increase foreign sales.

  1. In response to customer demands, we must make improvements with regard to quality, costs, delivery, and service. We must become the best company, one that our customers can trust and rely on.

  2. Optimize domestic advantages of streamline production, sales, and technical services to improve corporate competitiveness in areas other than price.

  3. Implement business continuity management (BCM) to prevent the occurrence of potential risks.

  4. Combine excellent Japanese SUMCO / SUMCO TECHXIV production technologies with the excellent Formosa Plastics Group management system to optimize business performance.

In order to establish the most complete corporate system and raise corporate competitiveness, our 2016 business guidelines are listed below:

  1. Make qualitative improvements to the 12-inch manufacturing process to realize brand positioning.

  2. Perform thorough management of the 8-inch manufacturing process equipment to stabilize production.

  3. Improve production and minimize costs based on TPM (total production management).

  4. Carry out sales, technical services, and production according to our clients’ feedback to raise customer satisfaction.

  5. Follow established laws and regulations to secure “zero disasters” and “zero accidents”.

  6. Promote a talent nurturing program to cultivate future leaders.
