Matters to Be Reported:

1. 2016 Business Report

The Baltic Dry Index (BDI) had fallen since the second half of 2010 and had entered its sixth year of falling trend. The average index of 673 points for 2016 was even the lowest in six years. Under the market condition of imbalance between supply and demand, numerous shipping companies, including operators of container ships and bulk carriers had suffered losses in the operating and financial aspects one after the other. The world's seventh largest and South Korea's largest container shipping company, Hanjin Shipping Co. Ltd. filed for bankruptcy protection in August of the same year, shocking the world. This indicated that under the situation of depression in international trade and the shipping market, business operators may face the risk of bankruptcy and delisting from the market.

The insane world political situation in 2016 also brought considerable shocks and uncertainties to the global economy. Firstly, the occurrence of frequent terrorist attacks, followed by the passing of referendum by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union in June and then the election of American President Donald Trump who pushes ‘America First’ policies and protectionism at the end of the year implied the emergence of a new trend of setting up restrictions against global trade and immigration by various countries. In view of the emergence of these doctrines which may undermine the original productivity, coupled with potential geopolitical conflict factors, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimated that the global economy still faces the risk of decline in the medium and long term. For the time being, the signs of recovery of the United States’ economy are obvious and the IMF forecasted that the growth rate for the American economy will reach 2% next year and may reach 3% in the future. The inevitable trend of interest rate increase in the United States is bound to affect the economic aspects of other countries and impact the trends of the various industries in the future. The IMF report has also given a positive boost of confidence as they have forecasted the world economic growth rate for 2017 and 2018 to be at 3.4% and 3.6% respectively.

China's economic growth rate in 2016 was only at 6.7%, slightly lower than the 6.9% of the previous year and barely maintained within the acceptable range when compared with its official target of 6.5%. Nevertheless, China’s economy is expected to have a soft landing of slow growth. The “One Belt, One Road” program of China is foreseen to have positive economic effects. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, as at the end of 2016, Chinese enterprises made non-financial direct investments amounting to a total of US$14.53 billion in 53 countries along the route of “One Belt, One Road”; mainly in such countries as Singapore, Indonesia, India, Thailand, Malaysia, etc. For foreign contracted projects, the Chinese state enterprises had signed new contracts amounting to US$126.03 billion in 61 countries along the route of “One Belt, One Road”, accounting for 51.6% of newly signed contracts for the same period and indicating an increase of 36% on a year-on-year basis. China's railway investment in fixed assets reached CNY801.5 billion in 2016 and continued investment is expected to remain at the same scale in 2017.

The recent reforms in Indonesia and India were also conducive to the investment environment. Last August, Indonesia’s President implemented a tax rate amnesty, which added US$7.7 billion in revenue to the Indonesian government thereby injecting a boost to the huge infrastructure spending plan of Indonesia. At the same time, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s movement to abolish paper money was also aimed at expanding the national income of India and implementing digital payment. Although India's economic growth rate fell to 6.6% in 2016, the IMF is still very optimistic about its next two years’ forecast ie. returning to above 7% in 2017 and 2018.

Driven by the national infrastructure construction, China's iron ore imports as a whole had exceeded 1 billion tons in 2016, indicating a growth of 7.5% when compared to the 0.953 billion tons for the previous year. Due to climate issues and its policies’ implementation, the global coal trade volume fell by 1% compared to the same period last year, indicating a negative growth for two consecutive years. Overall, according to the Clarksons research report, the total dry bulk growth rate will remain at a low 2% in 2016 and 2017. Since 2008, the most important factor affecting the bulk shipping market is the oversupply of vessels, resulting in long-term depressed freight rates in the market. The current dry bulk vessel capacity has reached 794 million tons, twice as much as in 2008. However, the dry bulk fleet growth has been decreasing year by year since 2013; slowing down from 10% or more to just 2% in the past two years; thus moving towards a healthier supply and demand equilibrium. According to the “Shipping Confidence Survey” report published by renowned international accounting and shipping advisory organization ‘Moore Stephens’, the overall shipping market confidence index at the end of 2016 rose 0.6 compared with the beginning of the year. After a one quarter per year survey, the index rose from 5.0 at the beginning of the year to an eventual index of 5.6, indicating that the overall shipping market sentiment is gradually warming up.

During the past years, U-Ming has been steadily strengthening its inherent foundation in the depressed market through actively making strategic planning to reinvent itself. After the global financial crisis, the company rose to the challenges by adopting various reform initiatives like eco-friendly fleet renewals to improve fuel efficiency and protect the environment. As early as 2010, it had moved ahead of other shipping companies by ordering 8 Capsize eco-ships from Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (SWS) and 6 Panamax eco-ships and 4 Ultramax ships in succession from Japan’s Oshima Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., exhibiting its commitment to environment protection and fuel efficiency. Following the United Nation’s Paris Climate Change Conference held at the end of 2015, it is inevitable that harsher CO2 emission regulations would be imposed onto the shipping industry. U-Ming, through its early implementation of its “young and eco-fleet portfolio” strategy, has been in the forefront of increasing the company’s competiveness which was highly appreciated and favoured by its customers. The further introduction of the e-platform helps the company to build a more efficient management platform and to reduce costs while improving service quality at the same time. These initiatives reflect U-Ming’s innovative spirit to continuously paying attention to world trends and always being at the forefront of the industry. This affirms the company’s philosophy in building itself into a sustainable enterprise for all of its shareholders, clients and stakeholders.

Business Performance

In 2016, U-Ming reported a consolidated revenue of NT$6.517 billion, net loss after tax of -NT$878.354 million and negative earnings per share (EPS) of - NT$1.04.

U-Ming will continue its fleet renewal and expansion plan. There was 1 Ultramax bulk carrier delivered in 2016. 3 Capesize bulk carriers, 2 Panamax bulk carriers and 1 cement ship were disposed-off in the same year. As of the end of 2016, U-Ming owned a total of 32 vessels. For the new building orders, 2 Capesize, 2 Ultramax and 3 Ultramax bulk carriers are expected to be added to the fleet between 2017 and 2019. The company will carry on its ‘smart and eco-friendly’ fleet policy at appropriate timings in the future. The joint venture company “Global Energy Maritime Co., Ltd.”, which U-Ming has set up with CPC Taiwan, is another avenue for the company to strengthen its fleet portfolio and leverage on other market sectors’ opportunities. At present, a very large crude carrier (VLCC) has been delivered to the joint venture company and 3 oil tankers will be added one after another in the near future. As of the end of 2016, U-Ming has a total of 37

3

vessels (including joint venture ships) with Gross Dead Weight Tonnage of 4.38 million tons.

Under the prudent leadership of our management and with sound financial and funding strategy, U-Ming is able to expand its fleet and at the same time continuously tracking down the industry’s development and await its next investment opportunities. Furthermore, the company is able to reduce operating costs effectively and to mitigate operational risks through sound risk management and optimal vessels’ planning and scheduling. While abiding by the World Convention on Environmental Ecology, U-Ming has also committed to building new green ships with energy saving and environment-friendly designs; and adopting sound ashore and on-board energy-efficient and carbon-reduction initiatives such as Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and Environment Management System (EMS) to strive to become a green and responsible corporate citizen.

Business Strategy

Facing with a rapidly changing market environment, U-Ming has to keep abreast of information at all times and take a positive response strategy. Currently, the company is gradually improving the e-platform and fully grasping the various operational data with the aim of creating an effective and intelligent team. Furthermore, the newly enhanced information platform also allows more effective connectivity between ships and shore personnel with information being transmitted timely, thus it is able to monitor the vessels’ operations more closely and effectively to achieve higher efficiency and lowering the overall operating costs. At the same time, U-Ming is also planning to deploy frontline footholds for its business overseas and striving to have a faster grasp of the market trends and build an interactive bridge to foster close contact with its customers.

Depending on the development of the freight market, the company will appropriately increase the proportion of long-term contracts through comprehensive strategic thinking, data analysis and flexible mode of operations to secure stable revenue thus reducing operating risks. The company will also carefully select reputable and financially-sound customers as its business partners and take advantage of favourable new building prices for its continuous fleet renewal program to ensure a young fleet portfolio in order to maintain its competitiveness and maximizing the shareholders’ value, thereby achieving a win-win situation.

Maintaining a healthy financial system is an important foundation for sustainable operations. U-Ming takes full advantage of its diversified financing channels to keep its cost of capital under tight control and constantly monitors the foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate trends in order to manage these risks effectively. This excellent control ability has enabled U-Ming to create a sound business foundation which acts as a strong backing for elevating its enterprise scale.

U-Ming treasures its employees as a highly important asset of the company. Human resource trainings and upgrading for onshore and sea personnel are scheduled periodically. U-Ming Marine (Xiamen) International Ship Management Co., Ltd. was established to expand the scope of operations in China that includes crew recruitment and deployment, as well as ship management functions, striving to recruit more high-quality talents. Vessels are also another important asset of U-Ming. The company also abides by its operating philosophy to carry out regular vessels’ maintenance and provide proper working environment on-board to ensure crew safety; and to set up effective safety management systems to comply with the international maritime regulations and port state control inspections at the same time. In order to reduce the risk of occurrence of major maritime cases, the company also especially set up a full-time corresponding team of SDO (Safety Discipline Officers), which is responsible for vessel inspection and improvement of fleet safety and discipline with the aim of reducing human errors and ensuring that the crews have a safe and

4

efficient operating environment. Feeling at ease while working, the crew can further provide the customers with better quality fleet services.

U-Ming spares no effort in protecting the marine ecological environment. It has developed a “Green Vision” for both ashore and on-board personnel, implementing various environmental protection policies such as innovative green-vessel designs and opting for slow steaming speed for vessels to reduce harmful gas emissions, thereby cultivating a green mindset throughout the organization to achieve sustainable growth.

U-Ming’s short-term goals are:

  1. Continue with the fleet renewal plan;

  2. Strengthen the operational strategies and business development of the various shipping markets;

  3. Introduce e-platform to enhance ship deployment plan & cost control and to improve the efficiency of various departments;

  4. Improve the Port State Control’s (PSC) inspection records and achieve a zero detention rate;

  5. Improve the overall maritime safety and discipline management, strengthen the fleet navigation safety awareness and upgrade the fleet information management system;

  6. Increase environmental awareness both on-board and ashore to demonstrate corporate social responsibility for preserving the marine ecological environment.

U-Ming’s long-term goals are:

  1. Continue to plan and expand fuel-efficient fleet and to achieve a sustainable growth;

  2. Diversify regional risks and seek for reliable business partners;

  3. Master the opportunity for cross-field investment in different ship and logistics-related transport operations;

  4. Merge or acquire suitable enterprises with good synergy and asset standing; 5. Commit to good corporate social responsibility and to become a top corporate citizen.

Conclusion

The road ahead in 2017 for the dry bulk shipping market is still uncertain of which the company is facing it with cautious optimism. U-Ming has always relied on its steady operations as its development foundation. The company will continue to seek positive changes and innovations; to enhance the quality of its professional team; and to introduce more intelligence business models to actively develop the market. It will continue to practise its philosophy for business development, namely “Sincerity, Diligence, Thrift, Prudence and Innovation” in order to create the maximum value for all stakeholders.

Under the prudent leadership of our management and with a healthy financial position, we are confident that U-Ming will live up to the expectations of all our stakeholders and will continue to grow and prosper; striving towards the vision of “Based on Our Shipping Core Competency”, “To be a World-class Logistics and Transportation Company” and “To be the First Choice for our Customers, Employees and Investors”. We shall continue to be a good corporate citizen to fulfil its corporate social responsibility and be a role model for operational excellence.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders U-Ming Marine Transport Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of U-Ming Marine Transport Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the 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 of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

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. 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 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 judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 are stated as follows:

7

Impairment of transportation equipment

According to IAS 36, the Group should periodically perform impairment assessment on assets. As the nature of the business of the Group pertains to marine transportation, the transportation equipment is material to its financial statements. Also, the estimates and assumptions adopted by the management for the assessment of impairment on the equipment thereof directly impact the recognition of impairment loss in the financial statements. As a result, impairment assessment of the transportation equipment is deemed to be a key audit matter. Refer to Note 5 to the financial statements for disclosure on impairment assessment of transportation equipment.

The main audit procedures we have performed in respect of the key audit matter stated above were as follows:

  1. Understood and tested the design and implement of the key controls over the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment.

  2. Obtained and understood the calculation table of impairment assessment of transportation equipment.

  3. Assessed and consulted with internal our specialist the reasonableness of accounting estimates used in the impairment assessment, such as the identification of cash-generating units, the confirmation of fair value of transportation equipment by obtaining supporting documents, and the discount rate and future cash flow used in determining the recoverable amount in discount cash flow method.

  4. Tested the calculation of impairment loss according to the table provided by the management.

Income Tax

Tax credit for the overseas subsidiary’s earnings, which was deemed after-tax, used in the income tax returns was applied by U-Ming Marine Transport Corporation. The grant of tax credit depended on the decision of tax authority in accordance with tax law in different jurisdictions. Due to the uncertainty involved in the final decision of the tax authority of which the result may cause significant impact on the amount of current tax and deferred tax recognized in financial statements, the recognition of the tax credit has been considered as a key audit matter.

The main audit procedures we have performed in respect of the key audit matter stated above were as follows:

  1. Obtained and understood the calculation, relevant accounting estimates, and income tax law applied.

  2. Assessed the reasonableness of income tax related accounting estimates, including application of income tax law, obtained the application certificates of income tax law issued by tax authorities and tracked the final assessment result of income tax returns of prior years.

  3. Obtained the resource documents for calculating income tax, including the final assessments result of income tax returns of prior years, tax certificates, financial reports, and earnings distribution document, and recalculated the amount of income tax.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of U-Ming Marine Transport Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

8

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, 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 supervisors, 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 auditing standards generally accepted 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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.

  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.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. 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.

9

  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.

  2. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 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.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2016 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.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Li-Wen Kuo and Ching-Pin Shih.

It is proposed that the Board authorized the Chairman to fix the record date of ex-cash dividend after the approved by the year 2017 annual shareholders’ meeting.
