Matters to Be Reported:
1. 2017 Business Report
The shipping market in 2017 was relatively better compared with the previous year as a result of the rising Baltic Dry Index (BDI) to a new high in four years at 1,743 points around mid-December. Overall, the 2017 average index rose over 70% compared to last year as a result of the global economic recovery; coupled by the increased market demand and the slowing down of newbuilding deliveries.
According to International Monetary Fund (IMF), the 2017 global GDP was around 3.6% which was better than the 3.2% in 2016. The positive global economic growth and outlook had resulted the increased shipping volume for both iron ore and coal at 1.477 billion tons and 1.203 billion tons respectively in 2017; up by about 4.69%. Again, China played a pivotal role as the major buyer and importer of raw materials which dominated the shipping volume.
On the demand side, according to the National Bureau of Statistics of the People’s Republic of China (NBS), China’s producer price index (PPI) rose from -1.4% in 2016 to +6.3% in 2017, ending the continuous fall for five consecutive years since 2012. The ferrous metal (iron, manganese and chrome) smelting industry’s shipping volume was up by 27.9% thus becoming one of the key contributors to the shipping market growth. With an annual steel output of 848 million tons, the iron ore demand in China was strong in 2017; as shown by the annual import volume of 1.057 billion tons, a new historical high. With the implementation of various government policies like the Backward Capacity Elimination, the Air Pollution & Smog Hazard Removal and the Energy Conservation & Emissions Reduction, China’s import demand for high-quality iron ore had been increasing thus invigorating the international trade. In addition, despite the coal demand being inhibited by environmental policies, the “coal to gas” projects of many cities are still under progress; and with the shortage of natural gas, the coal imports had still raised slightly in 2017 by 6% YOY.
Benefitting from China’s “One Belt, One Road” initiative, the overall ASEAN market was in the expansion mode in 2017; which had led to an average GDP growth from 4.8% in 2016 to 5.1% in 2017, much higher than that of other regional markets. Economic development stimulates higher energy demand, and coal has become the first choice for emerging countries due to its relative low price. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) and energy consultant Wood Mackenzie, the coal demand in ASEAN countries and India will surpass that of China in the next few decades. The Indian government has set its 2025 steel output target at 300 million tons; this will not only be heating up the iron ore demand, it will also raise the Indian’s coking coal import by 2% each year. The 2017 coking coal import into India was 49 million tons.
On the supply side, the over-tonnage situation still persisted in 2017 but the fleet growth was at a slower pace at 2.9%. The Ballast Water Management Convention’s implementation has been postponed from 2017 to 2019; and together with the 2020’s 0.5% Sulphur Cap regulation, many
2
ship owners are taking a wait-and-see attitude. As a result, ship demolition activities in 2017 had slowed down; with only 217 bulk carriers being dismantled, the lowest since 2010.
U-Ming’s transportation capacity in 2017 was increased by the launch of five new eco-ships which included 2 x 188K Cape-size carriers M.V. Cape Brilliance and M.V. Cape Galaxy and 3 x 62K Ultramax carriers M.V. Asian Summit, M.V. Asian Prominence and M.V. Asian Pride; and the purchase of the 98K Post-Panamax carrier Cemtex Renaissance. The ship portfolio has been diversified further as a result of the expected economic recovery.
U-Ming has received many recognitions both at home and abroad for its continuing pursuit of sustainable development; one of those was the Silver Award in the logistics category at the 2017 Taiwan’s Corporate Sustainability Awards organized by the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy. The Company has also passed the evaluation of FTSE Russell and Taiwan Stock Exchange’s criteria to be a constituent the FTSE4Good Emerging Index and the FTSE4Good TIP Taiwan ESG Index. These achievements have indeed proven the Company’s outstanding performance in the environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives.
Business Performance
The Company has turned profitable in 2017 from the previous year’s deficit; with an annual consolidated revenue of NT$8,501,325,000 net profit after tax was NT$999,520,000 and earnings per share (EPS) of NT$1.18. The operational highlights are summarized as follows:
(1) Fleet Expansion
The Company has continued its fleet renewal plan in 2017. As of 15 May 2018, there is a total of 40 vessels which included self-owned and vessels under construction; average age is about 5 years. Together with the other joint-venture and management vessels, the whole fleet has been expanded to 48 vessels with a total deadweight of 6.66 million tons.
(2) Fleet Management Transformation
In 2016, the Company has collaborated with Ericsson to optimize the vessels’ management system. The point-to-point internet link between ships was implemented to provide real-time information on vessels’ locations, movements and speed & fuel consumption. The system can also enhance the onshore visibility of vessels to support automation process and to minimize human intervention thus raising fleet management efficiency. The whole system was successfully installed on U-Ming’s fleet at the end of 2017 to facilitate fleet management transformation.
(3) Fleet Safety Enhancement
To minimize severe maritime risks, the Company has established a dedicated Safety Discipline Officer Team (SDO). Through ongoing ship visits and interviews, the SDO maintains a close
3
communication loop with the officers and crew onboard. Apart from expressing due care for the crew, the team also ensures that all relevant safety regulations are updated and adhered to onboard; and any discrepancies detected are being analyzed, resolved and fed back to all concerned parties thus creating a safety culture for the entire fleet. By implementing these safety discipline audits, the outcome was very positive and there were no marine casualty cases reported in 2017, and the overall accident and injury cases had been reduced significantly compared to that of the previous year.
(4) Green Shipping Initiatives
The Company has been collaborating with various ship yards to design and build modern eco-friendly new buildings. The Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for our new 62K dwt Ultramax has been certified by Classification Society DNV-GL to be 32.05% lower than that of the IMO’s reference standard; illustrating the Company’s commitment for a green and sustainable shipping.
In response to the IMO’s 0.5% sulphur cap regulation to be effected on 1 January 2020, the Company has also participated in the Australia-China’s “Green Corridor” project with leading mining companies like BHP, Rio Tinto and FMG; together with MOL, DNV-GL, Woodside Energy and SDARI to jointly develop a LNG-fueled Newcastlemax bulk carrier’s specification as an alternate to the conventional fuel-oil engines. The Phase I of the project was successfully completed and this was announced during the NOR-Shipping Event held in Oslo on 1 June 2017; proving its economic and technical feasibility.
Business Strategy
“Sincerity, Diligence, Thrift, Prudence and Innovation” are U-Ming’s philosophy for business development. The Company will continue to implement digitalization and to enhance smart data analysis in order to optimize ships’ portfolio and safety operations. We shall continue to strive towards the vision of “building U-Ming into a world-class logistic and transportation company” with “core expertise in shipping as its foundation” and “to be the first choice for our customers, employees and investors”.
4
Short-Term Goals:
-
Continue the Company’s fleet renewal program;
-
Enhance the operational strategy of different vessels’ type through smart and optimal use of company’s resources;
-
Improve vessels’ utilization and operating days.
-
Promote digitization both onshore and onboard to enhance overall efficiency;
-
Maintain outstanding port state control (PSC) records and zero ship detention;
-
Ongoing safety and discipline management trainings to reduce maritime incidents;
-
Raising environmental awareness and cultivating corporate social responsibility to all ship and office personnel.
Long-Term Goals:
-
Collaborate with reliable partners to develop businesses that are sustainable and to generate long-term stable income;
-
Timely investment in different vessel types and logistic related businesses;
-
Investing, merging or acquiring suitable synergized enterprises with good asset records for business diversification sake.
-
Continue to plan for and expand into a high-performance eco-ship fleet to conserve energy and reduce carbon emissions.
-
Invest into green energy to fulfill our corporate social responsibility and become a top and respected corporate citizen.
Conclusions
By seizing the low shipbuilding price opportunity, the Company has purchased more vessels to prepare itself for the economic recovery and to provide better services for its customers in 2017. Looking forward, the bulk shipping business will continue to be filled with challenges as a result of the global political unrest; in particularly the confrontation between North Korea and the USA, the oversupply of vessels and the slowing down of China’s economic development. Through its regular adoption to market changes, the Company will constantly review its business strategy such as adjusting the proportion between spot and long-term contracts in order to ensure a stable long-term income and cash flow. Facing with the ongoing stringent environmental conventions, the Company will continue to adopt the latest shipping technology to progressively upgrade its fleet in order to comply with all regulations and to be in the fore front to fulfil its corporate social responsibility.

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, 2017 and 2016, 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, 2017 and 2016, 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, 2017. 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.
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. Impairment assessment of transportation equipment has been included in the critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty, please refer to Note 5 to the financial statements.
The main audit procedures we have performed in respect of the key audit matter stated above were as follows:
-
We understood and tested the design and implementation of the key controls over the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment.
-
We obtained and understood the calculation table of impairment assessment of transportation equipment.
-
We assessed and consulted with our internal our specialist regarding 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 flows used in determining the recoverable amount under the discounted cash flow method.
-
We tested the calculation of impairment loss according to the table provided by the management.
Stage of Completion of Freight Contracts
The Group’s freight revenue is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. Because making judgements and estimates is required to a certain extent when measuring and calculating stage of completion of freight contracts, and revenue recognition and expression might be affected by the selection and application of calculation methods, the determination of the stage of completion of freight contracts is deemed to be a key audit matter. Stage of completion of freight contracts has been included in the critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty; please refer to Note 5 to the financial statements.
The main audit procedures we have performed in respect of the key audit matter stated above were as follows:
-
We understood and tested the design and implementation of the key controls over the freight revenue recognition.
-
We obtained relevant documents and understood the determination of the stage of completion of freight contracts, and we confirmed that the calculation method is appropriate and applied consistently.
-
We verified the management’s calculation of percentage of voyages and freight revenue by collating the information on actual voyages, entering/departing reports, sailing schedule and freight contracts.
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, 2017 and 2016 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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
-
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.
-
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, 2017 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.
