Matters To Be Reported:

1. 2012 Business Report

Introduction

The world economy was not yet fully recovered in the past few years; yet new risks have emerged. The successful drilling of the US shale oil and gas has contributed to global energy revolution; also, the high output of shale oil and gas has caused the crude oil price to plunge. Take Brent crude oil for example, it was US$115 per barrel in June, 2014, then rapidly dropped by more than 50% thereafter to US$56 per barrel at the yearend. That had a different level of impact on the global economy and each economic body. Despite the limited contribution of low international oil prices to bulk cargo profits, as the super tanker market benefited from the oil hoarding of each importer, the freight charge has extricated out of the slump and it went up all the way in the second half of this year after years of struggle.

According to the latest report of International Monetary Fund (IMF), the year growth rate (YoY) of the overall economy in 2014 was the same as the year before, 3.3%, and the YoY is expected to reach 3.5% in next year, indicating the gradual recovery of the overall economy. Of which, the YoY of the developed countries was 1.8% that represented a growth from the 1.3% in the previous year. Particularly, the economic indicators of the United States clearly demonstrated the gradual recovery of the domestic economy. In contrast, China, the source of global economic growth, had its revised down to 7.4%. Currently, China is facing a transition of industry and economic structure. China’s State Council in 2014 approved an infrastructure investment for RMB 7 trillion to pave the path for economic transformation. Apparently, China will transition from external demand to domestic demand and from high-carbon to low-carbon moderate growth. Comparing to the mitigation of China’s economic growth, India - another country with high economic growth, is in the midst of an economic reform initiated by the new Prime Minister, Modi, including the “Diamond-shape Square” high-speed railroad project, indicating the determination of the government in realizing domestic infrastructure construction and renovation. The YoY of India in 2014 was increased by 5.8%, which was a better performance than the previous year. In addition, the IMF predicts the growth will continue in the next two years that is expected to help stabilize the demand.

According to the data of the World Steel Association, China’s steel manufacturing capacity in 2014 was increased by 0.9% only over the

- 2 -

previous year and the growth rate slowed sharply compared with the year before. In addition, the demand for steel in 2015 by the developed countries is expected to remain at 2-4% growth in average. However, the demand for steel by China is with only 0.8% growth expected due to the policy of the Chinese government. The demand for iron ore has grown substantially while the growth of demand of China is slowing down. According to the statistics of Clarkson, the global dry bulk cargo was for 4.5 billion tons in 2014, a slight growth of 4%. However, for iron ore, the global iron ore growth rate reached 12% and China’s iron ore imports growth rate reached 14%, in other words; the annual imported volume exceeded 900 million tons. Benefited from the substantial increase of iron ore production in Australia and Brazil in the recent years, the supply increase has caused the iron ore price to drop by 47% from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, highlighting the advantages of the imported iron ore. China Iron and Steel Association expects China’s iron ore imports to exceed 1 billion tons in 2015, of which, the main suppliers, Australia and Brazil, will be responsible for more than 80% of the supply.

In terms of coal, the price of coking coal went down from US$300 to US$106 per ton, down by 65%. The price of steam coal at the same period went down by 50% to US$60 per ton. Wood Mackenzie believes that the global coal market this year will continue to decline, mainly due to weak demand and strong supply. China imports about 22% of the global marine coal demand, but its domestic coal supply surplus situation cannot be resolved easily, while the sluggish demand in other markets is also severe. Chinese government for the purpose of supporting domestic coal suppliers is implementing carbon emissions reduction measures to set the quality requirements on the imported steam coal in the second half of 2014. Although some of the imported coal is able to meet the new standards established by the Chinese government, the quality of the imported steam coal will be affected by the quality test accuracy and delivery process delay. In addition, the massive mining of shale gas caused the price of natural gas to drop and the pressure of price cuts worsened. Australia, due to the devaluation of Australian currency, the drop of fuel cost, and effective cost reduction, while the global demand for coking coal imports dropped by 8 million tons in 2014, increased exports by 14 million tons. The global marine market share went up from 48% to 64%. Overall, the coal market demand in 2015 remains pessimistic.

The supply surplus of bulk marine market was still unsolvable. According to Clarkson, the bulk marine capacity growth rate had been diminishing annually since the financial crisis with a mere 4% growth documented by the end of 2014. In addition, the ratio of new ships ordered to the total number of ships dropped from the 50% three years ago

- 3 -

to 20%, indicating the reduction in the number of orders in recent years that allowed the market to become balanced. However, for the overall market, signs of economy stabilization are emerging continuously that cause ship owners to hold a speculative mentality and with the number of orders gone up by two times in 2013. In addition, the willingness for dismantling of ships dropped significantly, the dismantling of shipping capacity in 2014 dropped by 30% over the previous year. Although banks under the circumstance take a relatively conservative approach towards loaning of funds for the ships, it is expected that the pressure of supply will be formed again when the ships are delivered in 2015 and 2016.

The bulk carriers are still working hard towards the frontier in the distance in 2015. While the environmental awareness is growing strong now, the new fuel-efficient energy-saving environmental ships will definitely be able to compete with triumph in competition, which is the trend and is the way to go. Despite the constant change of the market with a lot of hardship to conquer, the US economic recovery will soon arrive. In addition, India’s and China’s potential infrastructure development momentum is promising. Therefore, we wish for all the ship owners to form consensus on the ship construction market, to work together in a difficult time, and to cooperate and let the market mechanism move towards a balanced development. In prospect of 2015, U-MING still upholds the spirit of continuous growth, in addition to stabilizing the fundamental business, actively develop profitable market and continue to reform business model with innovative way of thinking in order to aim for the maximum benefits of the shareholders and ongoing business operation.

Operational Performance

U-MING still upholds the spirit of soundness and profoundness to operate while facing the difficult business environment. The consolidated revenue amounted to NT$8,965,430 thousand, net income amounted to NT$2,083,117 thousand, and after tax basic earnings per share (EPS) amounted to NT$2.43 in 2014.

U-MING has the replacing old ships with new ones plan was ongoing. The delivery of five Capesize and one Panamax bulk carrier were received. In addition, one Capesize and one handy-size bulk carrier were replaced in 2014. The ordered ships are delivered gradually, from 2015 to 2017, with four Capesize, three Panamax, and four handy-size ships expected to join U-MING fleet. In addition to dedicating to the development of the core businesses, Taiwan Global Energy Maritime Co., Ltd. that is organized by the Company with CPC, Taiwan and China

- 4 -

National Aviation Corporation (CNAC) will focus on the tanker market to continue grasping market opportunities.

The excellent elite operation team and comprehensive information platform help U-MING grasp the movement of the industry and optimal investment opportunities. The comprehensive risk management and flexible ship scheduling system help U-MING reduce the operating cost and the occurrence of operational risk effectively. Base on the principle of ecological care to stipulate the environmental green ships and the installation of green ship and equipment; also, to develop profound ashore and ship energy-saving and carbon-reduction policies, such as, the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and Environment Management System (EMS), to build green U-MING inside out.

Business strategy

Engaged in a rapidly changing marine market, U-MING must be cautious and prudent in every step it takes. The Company’s comprehensive “Customer Relationship Management (CRM)” system documents the movement of customers and industries; the robust e-platform is able to collect real-time market information at any time; under the circumstance, U-MING is able to understand the movement of customers and grasp market trend in order to flexibly adjust the Company’s business strategy and to improve operational efficiency. Improve the traditional e-mail correspondence between the ashore and on-board and manual post-process through project implementation. The entire corporate sectors will be integrated in the future to improve the efficiency of information transmission in order to quickly grasp the various ships operating information, create high-performance work environment, and control operating cost precisely.

The importance of financial funds cannot be overlooked. A profound financial system is the foundation of sustainable operations. U-MING makes full use of diversified financing channels, strictly controls the cost of financing, and pays attention to the change of trend in foreign exchange rate and interest rate in order to avoid exchange rate and interest rate risk.

U-MING treats staff as an important asset. In addition to having the onshore and on-board elite personnel trained from time to time, Xiamen U-MING Ship Management Company was established for the deployment of Chinese market and crew members recruitment and ships management. Ship is another important asset of U-MING. Honor the commitments made to the customers, regularly perform repair and maintenance service and maintain a good and safe environment on board, stipulate a safety management system, and strictly comply with international regulations and port inspection.

- 5 -

Preservation of the environment is the responsibility of everyone. As a member of society, the code of conduct of U-MING is to spare no effort in protecting the marine environment and ecology. The environmental protection policy is stipulated for the office and the on-board, ship equipment installed with energy saving and carbon-reduction devices, and takes low-speed navigation to reduce harmful gas emissions in order to effectively construct green environment inside out and to set sail the green sustainable journey of U-MING. In addition, increase the ratio of long-term contracts of U-MING when it is appropriate according to the change in the current market in order to ensure the Company’s profitability and to reduce operational risk. Cooperate with reputable and financially profound enterprises, and taken advantage of the relative low price of ship to have the old ships replaced with new ones, to expand the fleet, to keep the fleet energetic, and to maintain industrial competitiveness for the pursuit of maximizing shareholders’ benefits and realizing the win-win situation.

Short-term goals of U-MING:

  1. Continue the plan of replacing the old ships with new ones.

  2. Introduce e-platform and strengthen the ship scheduling and cost control plan.

  3. Carefully choose reputable clients with stable assets and compete to win long-term contract of affreight (COA) in order to reduce operational risk.

  4. Implement Port State Control (PSC) inspection records and achieve PSC zero arrest of ship rate.

  5. Strengthen environmental awareness on board and ashore; also, actually perform the corporate social responsibility of preserving marine ecological environment.

  1. Continue to plan and expand fuel-efficiency fleet and aim for a sustainable growth.

  2. Disperse geographical risk and look for reputable business partners.

  3. Seize the opportunity to enter a new business field for the operation of different type of ships.

Conclusions

U-MING holds a calm and positive attitude to face the constantly changing market. It implements the corporate development standards of “honesty, diligence, prudence, carefulness, and innovation.” Even if the economic recovery is realized in the future, the staff of the Company dare not be lazy and will strive to create the maximum benefits and values for the shareholders. The market is still full of challenges in 2015.
