Annex Annex I. 2018 Management Report

Wisdom Marine Lines Co., Ltd. 2018 Management Report

I. External Environment

The dry bulk shipping market remained stable in 2018. The decline in newbuilding investment led to the recovery of balance in dry bulk shipping capacity, where supply had exceeded demand for years. Meanwhile, increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the cost of funds continued to dampen shipowners' willingness to invest. As a result, the newbuilding and secondhand markets did not rebound as strongly as the freight market. The supply of dry bulk carriers is expected to continue to stagnate in the near future.

In particular, the upcoming 2020 global sulphur limit creates a considerable degree of uncertainty for the future of the shipping industry. There is still room for improvement in both desulfurization equipment and low-sulphur fuel in terms of supply, cost, and technology. The industry has so far been unable to find optimal solutions in response to the new regulations. This uncertainty has a certain degree of impact on long-term leasing agreements and investment in newbuilding. On the other hand, the Ballast Water Management Convention, entering into force in 2019, is expected to trigger accelerated replacement of old vessels.

Another key variable in the dry bulk shipping market is the 2018 global economy. The generally positive outlook helps hold freight rates stable in the market. However, the escalating US-China trade war is having a certain degree of impact on the future of shipping. US-China trade accounts for 3% of the global trade volume. Less than half faces tariff changes due to the trade war, and even a smaller portion involves goods shipped by dry bulk carriers. Nevertheless, the trade war may initiate a chain reaction that includes the rise of protectionism and disruption of growth momentum in the US and China economies. The shipping market will have to pay close attention to these issues as they develop. However, based on the impact on the freight rates, trade uncertainties have not caused greater pressure on dry bulk shipping.

II. 2018 Business Results

In 2018, we had 8 new build ships, hired 1 new bareboat, added 1 to ships under management, disposed 2 ships of our own, and terminated management of 2 ships. The number of ships in our fleet undergoes a net increase of 6 from 124 at the beginning of the year to 130 at the end of the year. Old ships are being replaced at a slower rate than expected due to adverse market conditions and the relative lack of suitable opportunities for ship sale.

9

The shipping market has a clearly more positive outlook of the economy in 2018. Our newbuilding leases generated on average a gross margin of 40% or higher. Recovering market conditions at the beginning of the year have allowed contracts to be renewed at generally better terms. The average rent after renewal is 20% higher. As a result, the operating profit margin has shown significant improvement by rising from 17% in 2017 to 26% in 2018.

On the other hand, in terms of nonoperating income, we only received US$6 million in dispute settlement amid a stable market and the lack of speculative investment. Meanwhile, the Japanese Yen is relatively stable in the foreign exchange market. A falling New Taiwan Dollar has led to a small positive yield on the TWD denominated bonds we have issued this year. The total exchange gain in the year is less than US$1 million. Interest expenses are significantly higher, however, due to increased interest rates. Overall, our net operating profit is US$115 million and net profit is US$60.01 million in the year.

III. 2019 Business Plan

We expect to have 5 more new ships delivered in 2019. They include 3 supramax and 2 handysize. Since a slow recovery can be expected this year, we plan to start looking for profitable long term contracts in the year.

All our new buildings in 2019 are new energy efficient models built by first class Japanese builders, such as Imabari, Namura, and Kawasaki, and comply with the latest environmental regulations and requirements. We have also started to deploy vessels in compliance with Tier III NOx emission standards. So far we have made 6 vessels that comply with the new standards, and delivery is expected to take place starting in 2020. Given the Tier III emission standards are the shipbuilding standards of the future, we expect to take action quickly while the market recovers, and try to stay one step ahead of our competitors in securing a cost advantage by buying when ship prices are still low.

In response to the Ballast Water Management Convention that is to come into force in 2019, we have completed installation on 74 vessels, and have made plans to install the equipment in 11 more vessels in 2019.

Apart from changing market conditions, challenges that we face in the near future include following closely developments in finding the best way to meet the sulphur limit requirement in 2019. Our fleet is currently meeting the requirement by switching to low sulphur fuels. However, we will also invest time and resources in the collaborative development of desulfurization devices and the study of the effects of low sulphur fuels on marine engines.

A large number of uncertainties remain in international political and economic conditions in 2019. The capital market continues to be stagnant with increased financing costs. Nevertheless, given relatively

10

stable freight rates, we will try to find suitable opportunities to sell ships. Ship sales will not only facilitate replacement of old vessels, but also hopefully reduce our exposure to interest rate volatility by disposing assets to improve our capital structure.

Annex II. Audit Report of Independent Auditors and 2018 Financial Report

Audit Report of Independent Auditors

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Chinese

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Wisdom Marine Lines Co., Limited (Cayman)

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wisdom Marine Lines Co., Limited (Cayman) (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the “Group”) as of 31 December 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2017, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together “the consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2018 and 2017, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2017, in conformity with the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee.

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 Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. 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 2018 consolidated financial statements. 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

12

do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

As at 31 December 2018, the amount of the Group’s property, plant and equipment was $2,741,207,097, which accounted for 95% of total assets. The management assessed if there is any indication that an asset may be impaired on balance sheet date. If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the Group should evaluate the recoverable amount of the cash-generating-unit (CGU), to which the asset belongs. The property, plant and equipment of the Group mainly consists of vessel equipment. The subsidiaries of the Company took the one-vessel-one-company strategy to manage vessels, and the main CGU for each subsidiary is their vessels. With the view that the amount of property, plant and equipment being material and the calculation of recoverable amount involving numerous assumptions and estimates, we have determined the impairment of property, plant and equipment as a key audit matter. The audit procedures we conducted regarding the impairment of property, plant and equipment included but not limited to the following, evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policy for impairment of property, plant and equipment; inspecting the impairment evaluation report provided by the Group and assess the reasonableness of the identification of indication of impairment and the assumptions used, including identification of CGU, estimation of cash flows and discount rate. We also evaluated the disclosure regarding to property, plant and equipment in Note 5 and 6 of the consolidated financial statement.

Valuation of the put option embedded in bond payable

As at 31 December 2018, the amount of the Group’s financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss was $2,488,564, which accounted for 0% of total assets.The fair value measurement hierarchy of the put option embedded in bond payable is categorized as Level 3. The measurement of Level 3 investment uses unobservable inputs. The management measured the put option based on source data from external valuation institute. As the external valuation has significant impact on the estimates of fair value, we determined the issue to be a key audit matter. The audit procedures we conducted regarding the valuation of the put option included but not limited to the following, comparing the report provided by internal experts with the report and related documents provided by the management; evaluating the reasonableness of the valuation methods and key valuation assumptions used by external valuation institute; conducting the recalculation and comparing the result with the one provided by the management. We also evaluated the disclosure regarding to valuation of the put option in Note 5, 6 and 12 of the consolidated financial statement.

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 requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee and Interpretations developed by the Standing Interpretations Committee 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.

13

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including audit committee or supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 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 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 internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries.

  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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.

14

  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  2. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company and its subsidiaries 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 2018 consolidated financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.
